Words From The Attic... Green Light

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Anthony Robbin's returns!!!


Oh yeah!


Short
Quick
and
Awesome!

Green Light

Being away

From all that you know

Can be kinda hard...

Pain and woe

When something goes wrong

Here comes the end

Gather your thoughts

And calm your mind

And the wrongs you have

Will start to mend

Words From The Attic... Always You

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Wow...
I can't wait to feel like this...
again!


Absolutely love this one.


Yeah... I know,
it's very simple,
not sophisticated at all,
but it moves you man.
It fucking moves you!


We can't ALL be Dylan Thomas
or Edgar Allen Poe... okay!

Always You

To love a person

Is a special thing

It's beautifully worn

With much to bring

When the sparkle of her eye's

Catch your dream

And you both become

An unbeatable team

Your life is complete

When she's by your side

Free of fear

With lots of smiles

With a love that stretches

Nationwide

Fill my senses

With nothing but you

And I'll live forever

With a strength unreal

And getting stronger

With all you do

You are my life

And I love you so

Beautiful

Free

With a soft snowy glow

My soft little girl

Live in me

Where the warmth

And affection

Comes naturally

Love's the thing

That's in my heart

And love's the thing

That I feel for you

And I knew it was

Right from the very start

Words From The Attic... All Should Be ---

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Chicks...
they make the world go 'round...
don't you agree!

All Should Be ---

This is for you

For the smile you hold

Incredibly bright

What a perfect mold

You know the world

It's the way to be

You're a free spirit girl

Now turn the key

Words From The Attic... Focus

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Lovin' this one!


Which way... do they go?

Focus

Someone I see beyond my sight

Is looking down upon my life

With eyes so blue

And dark

And deep

But when I look up to capture them

This pair of blue

They start to weep

I wonder

I try

To figure out why

Just why this pair
So bright

And real

Has sunken down

To a depth so far

Just what's the matter

What do they feel

I will call you bright eyes

Despite the flow

The tears you shed

Are they good

Or bad

Which way

Do they go

My baby blue

My shimmering light

The tears you cry

Have reached my heart

And your pair of eyes

Are now in sight

Dry them now

And dry your fear

Because there's a heart that's full

And ready to love

And that heart you see

Is very near

Baby blue

Baby blue

What did you do

Trust in yourself

Trust is the key

Trust in your feel

Just what do you see...

Words From The Attic... Fighting Back

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Looks like I was giving myself
one of those reassuring moments.


Nothing like a positive group of words
that somehow land upon a page...
words that began as a simple thought.
Then turned to ink.


Pretty cool right?!

Fighting Back

As a winter chill ignites outside

Confusion sets in

So you run
And you hide

Lying here with pen in hand

And thinking of things

To understand

I challenge the chill

And confusion out there

With a calmness and comfort

Beyond compare

And the feeling in me

Is that I can win

With a little smarts

And some planning ahead

The chances I have

Are a lot more...

Than thin

Words From The Attic... Magic Skies

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

The sky really is magical at times isn't it!

Magic Skies

Tonight I walked and I strolled along

Remembering distant memories

And humming a little song

The sun up high had begun to fall

And the first star tonight

She was standing tall

And I made a wish upon this star

I wished that I was
Where ever you are

Then it caught my eye

It was glowing so bright

The moon was full

Cutting through the night

A shiver of life ran up my spine

Like there was someone out there

Giving a sign

I stopped my walk

And I looked at the sky

A heaven so great

That you live...

When you die

The freedom up there

And the pure silky feel

Could there be such a place

Could it really be real

When I take your hand

And we walk in the night

The moon is so soft

And the stars make it right

So if you need a smile

Look up to the clouds

You'll feel so good

Get away from the crowds

The sun has arrived

It's another day

So enjoy yourself

And smile away

Words From The Attic... Untitled

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

This has to be something I
wrote just after I left the navy
in 1984.


I remember it was a really
weird thing to come back to
the old neighborhood.


It took a bit to get readjusted.
Why?
I have no idea.
I wasn't away for very long but,
I guess long enough.


Anyways...
I liked every word.
Too bad I never gave it a title.

Untitled

Today the plans changed

And I read many things

That had no meaning

But yet

They had meaning

Standing in front of what appears

To be a game

And me

With quarter in hand

My brain is watching out
For me

Sometimes a coffee break

Has me standing there alone

It's kinda funny

How long your quarter lasts

Coming home to american ways is so great

Until... you get there

Always looking for something different

Is anybody really satisfied

With where and why they are

Of course the answer is yes

And me

Well I'm not really too far behind

In finding where I'm at

Never count on plans

Because plans count on you

Remembered success
Is hard to find

Unspoiled happiness

Is where it's at

Help me find it

And we could forever

Touch each other's souls

Words From The Attic... Worth It

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Another ode to Margaret
while I was in boot camp!


You remember,
the girl I was with right before
I shipped out for boot.


Bottom line...
She was a very very cool chick
and me
well
I was a total... dick!


So funny how something that
happened so long ago remains in your mind.


Anyways...
I really like this one.

Worth It

A soft little girl

And she's just for me

And a love that is there

And just waiting to be

I'm writing this poem

To make you smile

To keep you warm

For a little while

Our love that we have

Is a Christmas dream

It's true

It's strong

Like a winning team

I thank you my love

For your understanding

You're always giving

And never demanding

Margaret my dear

It's Christmas time

A time for giving

And a time for rhyme

So smile my love

And enjoy what you do

And remember my love

That I love you

Words From The Attic... A Baby's Point Of View

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Something silly that looks like
I even had crossed out,
ready to be tossed,
but kept it for some reason.


I'm glad I did!

A Baby's Point Of View

Completely aware

Of what surrounds

The oddball clutz

And freaky sounds

Swollen cheek

Need no more pinch

A piece of candy

Some more milk

It's nothing but...

A cinch

Words From The Attic... Wish

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

A true blue mushy mess!


But it's impossible not to like it.
Just read it slow
and the rhyming motion
doesn't overtake the calming flow...
as much.

Wish

Wide awake as the morning sun

And glowing bright

You're my only one

Like the stars at night

Make a wonderful sky

It's your beautiful ways

That have caught my eye

Carry me home

And together we'll give

Let's cuddle up tight

Let's start to live

Can you live your life

Without a care

Because it's love and laughter

That I want to share

There's a whispering voice

From high up above

And it's reaching my dreams

My dreams of love

And it's you my love

That surrounds my mind

When I open my eyes

Is it you I'll find

Words From The Attic... Fire For All

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

I wish I knew
what was on my mind
when I penned this...
because I'm loving it!


Wow...
not of pain
or
salted wounds.


Such a combination...

Fire For All

Reach inside your vibrant self

And share your strength

And your wealth

With all the people who worship you

On grounds they know little about

Reach into the fire

And scream out loud

But not of pain

Or salted wounds

But for why you did it

And for whom
