SOOZ

I’m seeing less love
from you everyday
what we both had
I’ve watched it fade...
your smile gets twisted
in a different way,
your eyes get misted,
less convicted
when you tell me
everything’s O.K.

It’s looking like
my chances are slim
The light in your eyes
has grown dim
I do not feel the
same passion
and I’m sure it’s
because of him

You tell me that
he’s just a friend
but he gets more
time than you spend
with me..baby,
is this the end
don’t drag it out
and make me spend
months sharing love
that is pretend.

I’ve got so much
that I can lend
to someone else
who’ll comprehend
the depths of my love
she can share
that with you now
all go nowhere.

Your loss is more
than I can bare
But I can’t stand
your vacant stares
your lame excuses
that you give,
cut into my heart
like a shiv
while I sit home
alone and you
might be out chasing
love that’s new,
I’m not the kind of man
who’d spy on you,
my hopes and dreams
have better things to do
If you’ve grown tired
of me please let go

I’ve seen this pain before
where love no longer grows
It’s only fair that you
should let me know
Yes you will hurt me
cause I love you so

But I can’t stand to
watch as you avoid
letting me know our
love has been destroyed
Put on your walking shoes
and let me be
no love should be
shared with such misery.

I wish you well,
I hope that you and he
will find what you could
never find with me.

There’s someone else
who I’ve found interesting
but my feelings for
you they are hindering
the sweet pursuit of
something more that this
Warm arms to hold me,
and a welcomed kiss....

I’m granting you
permission to dismiss
All that we shared
together sadly split
between three hearts
and you have chosen his
let me down soon
because I’m done with this.

I’ve got so much more
that I can lend
to someone else
who’ll always comprehend
the depths of my
love that she can share
that with you now
all go nowhere
That with you now,
all go nowhere
it all goes nowhere
I need some love
that i can share

Less Love?-by- Matthew F. Blowers III

Just a man against a song,
it might take him all night long,
strung out over 16 frets,
hasn't got it right just yet.

All the lyrics are generic
he can't find that happy ending
his sore callouses keep blending
efforts folks will just forget.

Just a man against a song
like a boxer in the ring
looking for that perfect hook
but the struggle's punishing
never getting close enough to clinch'
that hit success can bring....
never finding that sweet magic
that will let his soul take wing.

Gotta a bottle of Jack Daniels
and some serenading spaniels,
howling over his Les Paul
that appallingly gives him less
then it did when he was winning
and his songs were called the best....
Working into the wee hours
seldom getting any rest.

Just a man against a song
like a boxer in the ring
looking for that perfect hook
but the song keeps punishing
never getting close enough to clinch
that hit success can bring.....
never finding that sweet magic
that will let his soul take wing.

He considers throwing in a towel,
grab a shower, let the damn dogs howl,
but his muse is in his corner
with that. "Take your best shot!" speech...

Then he's up against the ropes
that usually hang a lesser man,
in the wee hours of the morning
trying everything he can.....

Till he hears a noise
that he knows too well
his alarm goes off,
and it sounds like "hell,"
got a real job
with fast food to sell
once again ....he's
saved by that damn bell....

So he trudges off
to another day,
lost within that song
as he spreads mayonnaise,
till he punches that clock
that leads the way
back to songs that will
make him pay all day
all night and day

Just another man
against a song
like a boxer in the ring
looking for that perfect hook
but the song keeps punishing
never getting close enough to clinch'
that hit success can bring.
never getting close enough to clinch
that hit success can bring....
never finding that sweet magic
that will let his soul take wing......
that will let his soul take wing......
Just another man against a song.

Just A Man Against A Song.-Version 1-by- Matthew F. BlowersIII

by-Matthew F. Blowers III


Sitting here with you close to me
no one else passing us by matters
Because you mean the most to me
We found each other amidst the crowds
And  we shared gentle conversations
In a room so loud,  but I only heard you.

And truth be told we didn't even have
 to talk, what we saw in each others 
eyes assurred us that we would know 
a righteous love.  

And now here we are again 
in the same place where we met 
and became two over thirty years ago.

Still as much in love as then, still knowing
The hunger that drew us to each other,
As we savor an anniversary cocktail.
You were my calming tonic through 
some tough times and I blessed you 
with many Chardonnay days of 
mellow and yet stimulating moments.  

 So today I toast you and your loveliness 
with a hot toddy 
In honor of your even hotter body, 
and you  smile at me  with a wink 
and a rub of my leg with your foot 
to let me know we can drink to each 
other with more than our eyes later. 
And I bend across the table to savor 
your ruby lips that taste of a strawberry 
Daquiri and they whet my appetite for 
more of such dabbling  to come 

A night of all of my most favorite things
undressing you eagerly  with my eyes 
and then addressing what lies beneath.
 But for now let us nurse our drinks that 
seem a bit on the low side and  order a
bit more to enhance the buzz  of this moment 
in time. Just sitting here with you
With the knowledge that nothing else 
matters except your most
 precious love

Sitting here with you close to me

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....
