Let me be your Romeo
you can be my Juliet
cause we both know 
that your parents
are not happy 
that we both met
I’m unsuitable for you
they both just 
want you to forget
this precious love 
that we both share
which is much more
than we can bear…..

But Baby, this 
won’t have to end
like it did way 
back when Romeo
thought Juliet was 
dead, you know
so he bought poison 
he would use
beside her in her 
silent tomb
but she was in 
a coma, drugged
as he swallowed 
it in one big chug
after giving her 
a kiss and hug
and when she woke 
within the gloom
and saw him dead, 
his life consumed
she took a knife 
and shoved it hard
deeply into her 
broken heart
and though they 
shared eternity
I’d rather have 
you here with me
Alive and well…. 
both of us free
from your family 
feuding endlessly.

Hey, babe we can  
go anywhere
and spend our 
love together there
It’s far too sweet 
and much too rare
to let your parents 
bring despair
upon our love 
because they feel
what you and I 
share is not real
we’ll prove to them 
that their mistaken
when they’ve see the 
good life we are making!

There are cars 
and planes 
and boats and trains,
to help us flee  
and not remain
as prisoners to 
your folks disdain
let’s start a new 
life far away
where they will 
never have a say.

I know it’s hard 
for both of us
but their denial’s 
so unjust
say “Yes,” and we 
will be O.K.
and someday 
when life blesses us
with children 
who are grand
we’ll ask them 
both if they 
still want to 
make a fuss
about your 
loving man.....

We’ll invite them 
both to come and see
their heritage that’s 
come to be
and welcome them 
back lovingly
let’s both make 
this our plan
and run off
hand in hand
and share our 
love forever
we will make 
a loving stand
till they come 
knocking on our door
one woman 
and one man
to take us both 
back in their hearts
and share our children 
they’ll call Grand-

They’ll share our toddlers 
happily and call them 
their grandchildren

“Romeo.... Romeo 
wherefort are thou Romeo
I am here, Juliet
my fair lady..... 
with your parents
who love our children
and they love us!!!

" Let Me Be Your Romeo. "-by-Ivan Beats & Matthew F. Blowers III

My house was struck by lightning this past week and so I am without my recording studio as well as many other household electrical devices. We are fine but I will be down for a week or more until electrical breaks are repaired and devices that blew out are replaced or I buy new ones.


The Hollow-Days Of Addiction.
(A Christmas message for all )

Christmas has come back again
For the third year in a row
And we haven't seen 
our precious son
Ever since he had to go
To jail then off to rehab
Then violating 
two probation's
the court ordered no contact
So we've had no conversations
Cause he'd abused 
his Mom so much
Leaving her soul terrified
and came after me so angrily
Every time that he got high
we both tried in 
every way we could
But then we had to say goodbye....


Christmas on drugs and alcohol 
Was never a good mix
Hanukkah plus cruel addictions
Just brings candle sadly lit
Santa Claus and faith in God
Are not enough to bring a fix
Only he can save himself
No one else can heal his needs
That have made both our hearts bleed
while he spends his hollow days
Struggling to find ways to succeed.


He'll spend another Christmas
In sober living all alone
Far away from both his parents
Knowing that he can't come home
And it cuts us deeply to the bone
Cause our tough love is no fun
But drugs and alcohol have stolen
Our most precious son
Until he proves that he is cured
and his addictions are all done.

So if you too are like our son
Suffering the same afflictions
I hope this poem moves you to flee
Back to the true life 
you've been missing
Because those who 
love you can't survive
Living with the endless friction
Of your lies and thefts 
And thier hopes left swept
Underneath your opposition
Your loved ones all must separate
themselves from your positions
Of your loving highs even as they cry
Over your tragic conditions
Leaving you alone 
while they sit at home
Praying for you and each one wishing
That you will give all that you've lost
Some serious recognition
Before you end up lying 
Under a marble inscription
that leaves them all 
Without your love
Another victim of addiction
so many others just like you 
Have faced Death's Benedictions....

This poem is dedicated to ny son,
my only child who has been 
through his fault alone absent from
my wife and I for 3 years 
without contact
