Words From The Attic... Simply --- I Love You

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

This one has navy boot camp days

written all over it... lol

Short, sweet and, well...

pretty horrible.

But...

love that last verse!

Simply --- I Love You

I see a smile behind that frown

What's the matter babe

Did you lose your crown

Remember that day last week

When we went down to the park

We had just a bit of wine

Enough to make us feel so fine

And we walked along the lake

I told you things about myself you never knew

And you told me things you felt so real... about you

Again and again I need you girl

To fulfill my life

And forever... fill my world

Stay with me and love a life

A life of love that I'll always give

Inside of you... I want to live

Words From The Attic... Give It All Up For You

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Love the ending.
That last verse...
fuckin' soothes me man... it does!

And yes...
it is quite possible that
I stole "neon nights"
from Black Sabbath's
1980 monster album release
Heaven And Hell...
when Ronnie James Dio
howls out "Neon Knights".


I'm sure he...
planted that word flow
in my empty, thieving head.


Long live Rock 'n Roll...
Long live...
Ronnie James Dio

(R.I.P.)

Give It All Up For You

Ride a star into the city

Pass the lights

The neon nights

Into a place that shows no pity

Be daring for a night

And follow me inside

Completely blind

From everyone else

Just hold on tight

And I'll be your guide

You don't feel comfortable in here

Well I don't blame you babe

Come on love

Lets make some other fun

This crazy thing here

We'll have to save

How come whatever you say

Well it just always sounds so good

I think we were just born to always be

And if I could do anything to reassure that

I'd just give it all up for you

I really would

Love me the way

That I love you

And together...

We will always be

Words From The Attic... Still Special

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Aaa... the one that got away!

Can't remember if I wrote this

because it actually happened to me or not.

Although I was a big mushy mess

as far as chicks and girlfriends... LoL

I fall in love WAY too easily,

so this could very easily be me

pouring out my heart... for real.

But I'm sure there's tons

of guys that went through

shit like this with

matter's of the heart.

What the fuck is wrong with us huh??

LoL

So many times I truly wished that

I was a scumbag...

and didn't give a shit

about anyone else's feelings

but my own. But if you're not

wired to be that heartless scumbag...

then it's just impossible to become it.

And yes... I tried to do just that.

Lasted 3 weeks... and I was the most

miserable muthafucka on the

face of this planet.

So here's to being a nice guy...

and yes, we do... finish last... lol

A lot!

Still Special

I get a feeling in my heart

Every time I think of you

Anticipation... perhaps frustration

I don't know which is true

But the time we split

Went our separate wayz

Oh so long ago

Has turned my dayz

To a misty haze

I promised it wouldn't show

But as I look around

At the girls in town

It makes me wonder even more

Exactly what did I do

I let my guard down

As you strolled on out the door

Many a time

I've been thinking of you

And wondering how you've been

Because many a time

When the skies were blue

I held memories of you within

I get that feeling

Again and again

It's like a dog left out in the rain

And I want so much

To pick up my pen

And soothe that hollow pain

You are the one

The one you are

That my thoughts are all about

Stardust memories

A bit too far

Sometimes they make me shout

One day soon

We'll meet again

In the middle of Central Park

I'll say to you

How have you been

You'll say to me...

Words From The Attic... Smile Ya Little Smile

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

I moved out of mom & dad's house

when I was 19... sometime during 1980.

Did a lot of writing on those nights I

decided to hang by myself instead of

joining up with the crew and having

our usual great time.

This one feels as though it was written during this time

Title sucks... again!

But I like it nonetheless.

And yes... of course I stole the line

"I've got some news for you sunshine"

from Roger Water's and Pink Floyd's incredible 1979 release... The Wall!

Just left out the word "bad".

But fuck yeah I stole that shit!

Wouldn't you!!??

Smile Ya Little Smile

And then I said... what have I done

I've lived my life so carelessly

And never shared my love... with anyone

So you say you're waiting for the right time

When there's bells in your head

And your words simply rhyme

I've got some news for you sunshine

You ought to hear me out

There's millions of people out there

Just needing a smile

And whose heads are full of doubt

Each day you hold it in...

Is simply an hour for sorrow

While maybe you say another day

But for some without a smile

There may not be another... tomorrow

Just do it...

And don't look for nothing in return

Just watch the beauty of a child

And watch yourself... begin to learn

Mom and dad are so cool

And boy they put up with a lot of shit

You say you love them a bunch

But can they tell

Do you really show it

Go ahead...

Revolve your world around other's

From strangers... to lovers

And back... to brothers

For when they're gone

It's too late

So while they're here

Go ahead...

Don't wait

Words From The Attic... Blind

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Starts of very strong...

but only to end in a whimper.

Too bad.

"This person here really does care"...

get the fuck outta here

with that fuckin' line will ya.

That line soured the good taste

I had in my mouth while reading... LoL

The word "dreary" was

crossed out, but I chose

to leave it in.

It's all about word flow!

Has it's good points,

and I'm liking it... mostly.

Blind

Stormy weather approaches tonight

Electric love fills the skies

The woman you love... so pure and white

Ignites your life... as she opens her eyes

The eyes of Venus

No they're more than that

Shimmering lasers that tear you apart

And seek you out... where ever you're at

The eyes of lust of which you feed

Are the eyes of love... of which you need

Soothing the soars of everyday pains

Mending the bruises that irritate you

And keeping you dry... from the cold icy rains

Yes these eyes...

That guide and conquer you

They reveal your mood

And take away the dreary blue

They keep you going on days of doubt

They are the power that keep you strong

Yes this pair of eyes your love possess

They are on your side

And can do no wrong

These eyes of hers... oh what a pair

I love the girl who's behind them so

And I want her to know

That this person here

Really does care

Words From The Attic... Back To Basic's

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

LoLoL...

I'm guessing I tried to put myself

inside the head of a 9 year old

when I wrote this one.

Can't believe the kid said

"fuck off"... LoL

Cool message though.

Something you tree hugging

environmentalist wacko's

could connect with.

Except for the glove and bat...

of course!

Back To Basic's

Living a life

A boyhood dream

Getting in fights with Jimmy next door

Then stuffing your face

With chocolate ice-cream

Not a worry in the world

Nor even a care

Just gimmie my glove

And my baseball bat

And my favorite hat

That I love to wear

That's all I ask

As a kid that is

Just leave me alone

With your wars and stuff

And as for school

No... I ain't no wiz

So why dont'cha's all just fuck off now

I'm a normal kid

Who wants to grow up slow

So take all your chemicals and shit like that

Because I'm 9 years old

And I don't wanna glow

Words From The Attic... Set Me Free --- Fly With Me

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Oh no...

that's right...

I just found another one

about my favorite Brit... Julie!
You remember...
the girl I met while in the navy!

Man,

this girl must have been something else.

I think this is like the 5th fuckin'

poem that I wrote about her... LoL

Doesn't get old though...

No matter how silly it all seems

at this point...

they still make me smile

when I look back on it all.

Fuckin' memories man...

fuckin' memories!

Too cool.

Set Me Free --- Fly With Me

Living high

Feeling free

It's just impossible now to ever be down

Meeting you

Though maybe it didn't show

Has touched something inside of me

That's making me glow

It would be fine to live

To love

And just hold onto you

Throughout the good

There's never bad

And when you're sick

I will be there to comfort you

Lately you know

I'm walking around

And feeling totally great

And no...

I'm sure it's not something I ate

It's you Julie

Maybe it's not right

Two days isn't long

But I've been thinking of you

Without a fight

And feeling that maybe

I do belong

I do want to hold you so much

And taste the scent you own

So I'm sending you this kiss

That's long and wet

To remember me by

If ever you're alone

Hey now

I hope you're smiling

And I hope you're happy

Please always be that way

And soon you'll see how naturally

Love finds it's way to you... everyday

You have some right here

On this very page

It's reaching out for you

It's locked up here

Waiting to flee it's cage

And do anything you want... it to

Words From The Attic... I Think I Like You

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Looks like this is another
from boot camp.
The fella's would ask
me to write something
for their wife or girlfriend
and they would give me
some information about her
such as a name or something.


That's probably where the
Kimberly came from.


It's pretty horrible
as far as poem's go...
but I got paid didn't I!!
LoL

I Think I Like You

Needing you... love

Like a summer sun

And giving love

To my only one

And making my life... so fun

That's what you do

Yes you are the girl

That I've never known

Riding around

On a diamond stone

Look at you now

You're never alone

I love you

Sweet honesty

My Kimberly

Talk to me babe

Look in my eyes

What do you see


A man of today looking widely
As tomorrow becomes rather brightly
Lite from a love you give
That comforts me
Never a day without sunshine
Always have time to say you're mine
Oh what a way to live
You set me free


You're here and you're there
You're everywhere
Looking good with the wind in your hair
Always giving without a care
I need you
I want you to know my sweetness
It's you that I love and you I miss
And you... that I want to kiss
I really do... love you
