Mr.FLEN and 711

I weep at the tiny table
I wipe my crying eyes
He called a specific shade of saddest blue
A sort of grey-toned sapphire 
in the Maryland moonlight
There’s a despondent nature to their hue

I said, “They’ve seen some things…”
Wandered wonders,
Blundered blunders…
Now, I sit in my clutter
Prepare the painful process
to get my life on track
But everything I paint
is a picture of no progress
I toss another failure in my stack

Depictions of daisies
Drowned in navy 
So they appear black 
Piled to the ceiling
Visually unappealing
Acrylic cracks

I sometimes wish I could save them
or somehow recreate them
but the pigment bled and 
there’s nothing I can do
with palettes of sorrow
from Picasso I borrowed
that only have versions of blue 

Baby he’d call me in bed
Aqua wave on the beach where we met
Sky came falling down on my head 
Slate like metal on the jet when he left
Navy man succumbed to his fear
Royal pain in the morning mirror
Midnight snacks help me persevere
Denim don’t zip but it did last year

Sky I screamed to it and cursed his name
Baby I was one people were ashamed
Turquoise tears pouring down like rain
Cobalt heart and ice in my veins
Navy sailor left me MIA
Royal order couldn’t make him stay
Denim scarred with holes and stains
Opal ring flushed down the drain

He says I’m overdramatic
I can’t see it’s over, traumatic 
I’m symptomatic 
Breathing asthmatic
Speaking emphatic
Scene cinematic 
My tricks acrobatic
When he calls them my tactics
I get so erratic 
It’s not democratic
Cause if I got to vote
It’d be automatic

He’d be
In full color next to me

Baby blue sunsets mixed with orange and pink
Aqua waves would float our frozen drinks 
Sky he’d lift me to it and our legs would link
Ice cold water but we’d never sink 
Navy ocean, we’d swim all night 
Royal order don’t sleep till daylight
Denim shorts, swept away, that’s alright
Opal ring, one knee, love for life 

It’d be overly saturated
He’d be over-infatuated
With me
But those are long lost dreams
No vibrance, so static
It’s monochromatic 

There’s no you
There’s only blue

Not Immortal

These are the days of our lives
They’re passing by so fast
They slip beyond our control
like sand through the hourglass

We waste them on the drama
When it’s really the simple things
Like that night we slept in the tent
Underneath the live oak trees

Now when I look back to it,
It’s a painful memory
If something could stand the test of time,
I thought it was you and me

January icicles pierced through my heart
February never had a chance to start
Flew by and ‘for I knew it, it was March
They say time heals, it feels just as hard

April fool I was for you
Daffodils may never bloom
I held out through the heat of June
Sought answers to things I already knew

July was blue without red and white
August skies weren’t filled with kites 
I can’t remember September nights
I didn’t wake up one time

October wore a costume and went out
November, nothin’ new I’m thankful about
December drowned in pictures of sorrow
I need you yesterday, today, and tomorrow

I know one thing with certainty
You’re wired into my circuitry
I crave your taste so fervently
Fine wine, deep and burgundy

I know I don’t speak cordially
But I pray do me a courtesy
For the rest of eternity
Remember us perfectly

January snowed in with the dog
February wrote you a love song
Cuddled up by the fire all of March
Jumped your car when it wouldn’t start 

Bought you a birthday present in April
Forgave you in May when we got so hateful
Shopped after church on a Sunday in June
And in that moment I already knew

The fireworks came early
It wasn’t quite July
They went off every night in August
and didn’t stop ‘til September 9

October we were Shaggy and Scooby Doo
November Nana’s table laughin’ with you 
They say we’re livin’ on time borrowed 
I need you yesterday, today, and tomorrow

I need you yesterday, today, and tomorrow

yesterday, today, and tomorrow

"Stand For Them" is a heartfelt, stirring anthem dedicated to animal welfare and the fight against animal cruelty. The song shines a light on the struggles of abused and neglected animals, with poignant lyrics that tug at the heartstrings.

The verse paints vivid pictures of suffering, while the soaring chorus declares a resolute commitment to action, vowing to be a voice for the voiceless. The bridge rallies listeners to stand united for justice, compassion, and empathy.

This song was actually inspired after reading a post on X by a singer/songwriter that I highly admire and respect.  Lynn Carey Saylor posted a video of a poor defensless dog left tied to a pole on I-75 as Hurricane Milton approached. 
https://x.com/LynnCareySaylor/status/1844056625264406627
After being completely appalled by that video, I wrote this song to stand up for all abused animals out there.  


LYRICS:

[Verse 1:]
In darkened shelters, or alone in the night
Tied to fences, or fleeing from fright
Innocent paws, and helpless eyes
Crying out for mercy, and a loving surprise

[Chorus:]
But we won't turn away, we won't ignore
The furry hearts, battered and scarred once more
We'll rise up, a beacon of light
For the voiceless creatures, we'll fight through the night

[Verse 2:]
From puppy mills to abandoned streets
Victims of cruelty, their trust retreats
But we'll be their refuge, their guiding hand
Leading them to safety, across this broken land

[Chorus:]
We won't turn away, we won't ignore
The furry hearts, battered and scarred once more
We'll rise up, a beacon of light
For the voiceless creatures, we'll fight through the night

[Bridge:]
We'll stand united, a collective cry
For justice, compassion, and a world that tries
To protect and serve, with empathy and love
For every creature, sent from above

[Chorus:]
We won't turn away, we won't ignore
The furry hearts, battered and scarred once more
We'll rise up, a beacon of light
For the voiceless creatures, we'll fight through the night

[Outro:]
Their unbroken spirit, a flame that remains
A testament to love's enduring refrains
We'll amplify their voice, until it's heard
For every abused soul, we'll be the cure.

Stand for Them

Breathe in deep, let the world fade away Find the quiet in a crowded day

When did life turn into a race Always running, trying to keep pace But here I am, caught in the rush Missing the warmth, the gentle touch

I see the sun begin to fall Casting shadows on the wall Time slips by, but it feels so wrong Where did all those moments go

It’s okay to let go of control Lose yourself, let life unfold The beauty lies in the simple things In the quiet hum, the song it sings

Slow down, let the silence fill Feel the peace, let your mind be still There’s a rhythm to the quiet beat A melody found in every street Slow down, let go of time Live in each breath, each gentle line In the stillness, you’ll find your way Take a moment, let life stay

Just slow down, down, down Just slow down, down, down

Found myself in the city lights Lost in thought under starless nights But there’s a peace I find within When I let go, let the silence in

No need to hurry, to push ahead In every pause, the heart is fed Beneath the noise, there’s room to grow In the gentle hum, I hear it flow

It’s okay to let go of control Lose yourself, let life unfold The beauty lies in the simple things In the quiet hum, the song it sings

Slow down, let the silence fill Feel the peace, let your mind be still There’s a rhythm to the quiet beat A melody found in every street Slow down, let go of time Live in each breath, each gentle line In the stillness, you’ll find your way Take a moment, let life stay

Don’t need to chase what’s far ahead Just be here now, in words unsaid Feel the weight lift, let it go In this moment, let life slow

Slow down, let the silence fill Feel the peace, let your mind be still There’s a rhythm to the quiet beat A melody found in every street Slow down, let go of time Live in each breath, each gentle line In the stillness, you’ll find your way Take a moment, let life stay

Just slow down, down, down Just slow down

Slow Down

The song "Endless Echoes" delves into the struggle and frustration of being stuck in a repetitive and unending cycle of medical testing and diagnosis. The protagonist feels trapped and overwhelmed by the system, where each encounter seems to strip away a piece of their identity. Despite the continuous tests and clinical procedures, answers remain elusive, leaving them in a state of hopelessness and disillusionment. The song highlights the emotional toll of being lost in a space where true solutions and understanding are out of reach.


I’ve been walking in circles, feeling the weight, Trapped in a system that decides my fate.

Room after room, they shuffle me in, Faces change, but the talk feels thin. They scribble in codes, look me in the eye, Cold words like, “We’ll keep trying,” passing me by.

Each test another piece stripped away, In the maze of answers they never say. I’m stuck in a loop of “we’re not quite sure,” Hoping the next round will find a cure.

I’m just shadows under fluorescent lights, Lost in the silence of sleepless nights. An echo that fades, a breath on the glass, Each answer slips, too fragile to last.

Endless echoes, faint and far, Questions linger like faded scars. Through halls of white, I’m pulled below, Lost in a space where answers don’t show. Endless echoes, spinning me round, In circles of noise where truth can’t be found.

Rooms lined with silence, waiting for signs, Life is reduced to steady lines. I’m wired and tethered, body and soul, In this unending, empty role.

Each scan digs deeper, finding nothing new, Ghosts of myself in every view. Cold eyes read numbers, notes on a page, But no one sees this quiet rage.

Check my pulse, search for proof, Tangled in webs of clinical truth. Trapped between facts, lost in the noise, Answers masked, no room for choice.

Another test, another chart, Dissecting me piece by part. Echoes of promises, fading slow, I’m left in the dust, nowhere to go.

Endless echoes, faint and far, Questions linger like faded scars. Through halls of white, I’m pulled below, Lost in a space where answers don’t show. Endless echoes, spinning me round, In circles of noise where truth can’t be found.

Running in circles, lost and frayed, In the silent halls where truth decays. Just endless echoes, a song that won’t end, Waiting for answers that never begin.

Endless Echoes

This is another song inspired by Lynn Carey Saylor, one of my favorite singer/songwriters, and her poignant song "I Wasn't A Friend."

This heartfelt warning urges listeners to speak up and take action, honoring the memory of loved ones lost.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1:]
We laughed and joked, as the night wore on
Never thinking, the consequences would be so wrong
You got behind the wheel, I didn't say a word
Now the silence screams, and I'm forever scarred 

[Chorus:]
Oh, the guilt I bear, the weight I hold
For letting you drive, into the cold
I should've spoken up, I should've been bold
Now you're gone, and I'm left to unfold 

[Verse 2:]
We swerved off course, on that fatal ride
I see the crash, in my mind's eye
Your smile fades fast, as the lights go low
My screams echo, in the darkness that grows 

[Chorus:]
Oh, the guilt I bear, the weight I hold
For letting you drive, into the cold
I should've spoken up, I should've been bold
Now you're gone, and I'm left to unfold 

[Bridge:]
What ifs haunt me, through the endless night
A thousand regrets, a single, fatal sight
One decision, one moment's hesitation
Could've changed the course, of that deadly destination 

[Chorus:]
Oh, the guilt I bear, the weight I hold
For letting you drive, into the cold
I should've spoken up, I should've been bold
Now you're gone, and I'm left to unfold 

[Outro:]
Your memory stays, a constant pain
A reminder of the price I couldn't contain
I'll carry this weight, for all my days
A lesson learned, in the most tragic way.

In the shadows where the silence hums, A light flickers but never comes undone. There's a pulse beneath the quiet flow A watcher in the depths below.

In the boundless night, it shines so bright The one who watches, always near.

Colors melt and the edges blur Lost in the rhythm, a cosmic stir A heartbeat in the great unknown Familiar as flesh, yet made of stone.

In the boundless night, it shines so bright The one who watches, always near.

Close your eyes, feel the flow Let the music take control The one who’s always seen, never shown Guiding us through worlds unknown.

In the boundless night, it shines so bright The one who watches, always near.

A presence fading, but never gone In the vast unknown, we drift along An ancient rhythm, soft and deep The one who watches, never sleeps.
