Words From The Attic... Reaction

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

It's kind'a corny but I still like it.

And then I liked it even more as I typed

it here and got to the last word...

it just hit me!

Underdog theme's always work!

Underdog but with self confidence...

pretty good!

Almost feels as though I was trying

to write song lyrics here.

"provides a dreamy attraction!"

And also...

"nearly all the time!"

LoLoLo Too funny!

Only a guy would say that!!

Reaction

I've got a touch of supicion

That'cha comin' my way

Dont'cha know that I'm wishin'

That you've got something to say to me

I'm just a simple guy

Ain't got no fancy car

Ain't got no time to be foolin' myself

Shootin' for some runaway star

But I got a reaction

To the wink of an eye

To the movement of those baby blues

To the shuffling feet inside those shoes

I got reaction

I got it on my side

I got reaction

Come on now baby take the ride

I can do

What other men have tried

I can tell the truth nearly all the time

When I know damn well

All the others' have lied

Have you been

In a sticky situation

When the floor falls out

While your head explodes

Run underneath the covers

When it rains it pours

But stand up

And let it rain

It provides a dreamy attraction

To the things you see

The way you want them to be

It provides a little reaction

Words From The Attic... Utopia

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Have you ever had that lightbulb

turn on bright above your head!

Have you ever stopped dead in your tracks

when the answer to the situation

finally makes itself known!

This...

is one of those moments!

I like it.

But that's an awful lot of paper

for such a quick thought LoL

Utopia

Only now I begin to see

Just what you really mean to me

I'm much too easy with my way

Through trying tears

And frozen fears

I've found my heaven

In you today

Words From The Attic... Something In The Air

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Stop fighting and enjoy this life!

I like the theme.

And there's several lines that

really stand out!

It's no Springsteen song mind you

but I enjoyed it and the message.

Something In The Air

Stare at the light

Talk to the dark

Reminding all what lies ahead

Beyond the sacred spark

Memories of world war

Losing people by the score

And what the hell

Was it all done for

There's something in the air

I can feel it calling me

There's something in the air

And there's a slight possibility

That maybe the time has come

For all of us to look for the same sun

And for once and for all have some fun

Though candles burn

For the brothers' and sisters' we've lost

To continue lighting new wicks

Would just be a form of regression

And much too much of life's cost

We breath the same air

So why can't we agree on anything

Can't you's hear the cries

Cries for peace

Our brothers' and sisters' sing

It is in the air

Just stop taking good care of yourself

And listen

There's something in the air

To learn

Words From The Attic... Street Meat

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Pretty cool painted picture

of a run away motorcycle gang...

well that's what I'm getting out of it!

I like it!

Wish I had the balls

to be a complete asshole

and have the ability to just

kick the snot out of anyone

who gets in my way LoL

How fuckin' great would that be!!

Street Meat

They're out on the streets

And they're playin' with disaster

Like a dog on a leash

Lookin' for his master

Lookin' for a cause

Without any reason

Yeah this is the time

This is the prowling season

Rumbling wheels under heavy machines

Take to the streets

Without any sense... any dream

Or fair play

Tumbling down all it meets

Their heartless

Painless leather clad fools

Livin' a life with unbelievable rules

Get in there

And you can say bye bye

To living this life

No it ain't no lie

Big fat tire tracks

Runnin' up and down your back

Empty beer cans

A few drops of blood

Signs of life are running low

Ain't gonna be no second show

All they've touched has turned to mud

All that's left is a soft sunset

And the sound of empty engine whines

Leaving us with no time to pretend

But to take a serios look

Between the lines

Words From The Attic... Once In A Lifetime

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

I really like this mess!

Not too corny but yet still

hugs the shit outta you!!

Looks like I started it and then

ended the thought at a future date.

Is that a blue pencil

or a damn crayon LoL

Whatever it takes!

When a thought hits you...

you take what you can get in order

to jot that verse down!

I do believe that the first verse

was eliminated. As the title was moved

midway down... along with the scribbled

lines of separation.

But I left it in!

I love the first few lines!

Once In A Lifetime

On any given day

You can find a color

That's deep inside your mind

It may be rich

It may be pure

It may be two which were combined

Well once in a lifetime

You can see what's looking in

You can feel your love begin

Just watch it flow

Only once in a lifetime

I can be with you

To hold your hand

And do all that you want to do

Just watch us grow

Perfect poise

Silent noise

Incredible aura

Glows with light

You saunter slowly passed the boys

All are wishin' that they're your type

We only have this one lifetime

To make it real

To be ourself and to forgive

Let's show the world

Just how it's done

Ain't no big deal

To love each other

Ain't no big deal

To really live

Words From The Attic.. Beautiful Memory

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

This is the last one that I could find

about Denise... the 4th poem of 4.

Also seems I wasn't...

having one of those days

when I wrote this one! LoL

It's still so much fun to remember her!

That first time I saw her was in

Perkins restaurant... Staten Island

and oh man...

both Denise and Susan Ransom

were two of the most beautiful

girls in our orbit at that most

awesome of teenage/young adult

times of our lives!!

I hope I find other writings.

If not, I'll have to talk to you

some time soon Denise!!

New Life... Goodbye Denise

Dawn's Early Life

Is It In Your Lies

Beautiful Memory

Beautiful Memory

My Denise...

Here I am again

It's been too long

Since I've talked to you

Like dreams come true now & then

Your lingering feel

still shines on & on & on

You'll be forever in my mind

Perfect reception on channel two

Again summer arrives without your eyes

Seeing this sun

But it comes as no surprise that...

Somehow it's missing something fresh

Something clean

Something beautiful

And it's you I mean

Forgive me for not being able

To accept the real

I know you're happy and settled in

But I still can't get over

The way I feel

I sent you a letter when you were sick

But it got sent back

Never did make it to you

By the time I was ready to try again

The candle was there without a wick

And you were gone to heaven's blue

Everyone sends their love I know

Even if you don't hear from them

They do

The very first time that I saw you

I fell right off my chair

I was helpless in a trance of you

I couldn't do nothin' but stare

Thank you for being you

Bless your beautiful soul

And all you do

One day Denise I will catch up with you

Have we got a lot to talk about

Goodnight beautiful woman

I'm glad we can still talk

I'll love you always

Words From The Attic... Is It In Your Lies

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Here's the 3rd installment

of remembering Denise.

Seems she comes to mind a lot

during "those" moments LoL

And also... I keep reading about

me joining her in her new home.

Just remember...

during creative moments...

when they strike you...

you have to allow your mind

to just spew

and give yourself room

and grant yourself poetic license

to release your emotions...

thus saying things in 

metaphorical ways!

Reading those kind of lines back

are pretty bone chilling though

I have to say LoL

New Life... Goodbye Denise

Dawn's Early Life

Is It In Your Lies

Beautiful Memory

Is It In Your Lies

Denise... it's tommy again

I'm sitting here in some country bar

I'm kind'a alone

And was thinkin' just how you are

But I know the answer no need to say

You've been in comfort

Since that lonely day

Denise... it was just

It was just

That day of travel that was lonely

The long goodbyes

And goodbyes you missed

Believe me babe

You weren't the only

The last few days for me down here

Have been full of days confused

Wondering what's what

And who's who

And god I feel so used

Again I'm thinking of joining you there

But there's too many people I'd hurt

Ya know I'm glad that someone cares

But still I'm thinking

This worlds' a flirt

No matter how many times I write to you

I still can't believe it's true

Right now I'm shaking again

And even a bit cold

I guess it's 'cause I'm thinking of you

Do you know my god

That beautiful girl you took away

Was only twenty-two

Words From The Attic... New Life... Goodbye Denise

tommyrawblog1@gmail.com

Denise Attilio...

She was someone special for sure!

For me...

I fell head over heels for her.

And even though our paths crossed

for a very brief moment...

the memory of her

will remain inside of me forever!

Along the way

I wrote what looks like 4 poems

about her. I may have more??

This is the first of the 4.

But each one is but a snapshot

of time... of where I was...

and my emotional mood

at the moment.

Good days... bad days...

it's all a part of living this life!

New Life... Goodbye Denise

Dawn's Early Life

Is It In Your Lies

Beautiful Memory

New Life... Goodbye Denise

On a silver cloud she's gliding around

Looking down upon us

I can't understand why...

Why does it always happen

To people who are so good

If I'd had a chance to give you life

Like a light in the dark

I only wished I could

Denise my friend... I'm sorry my dear

Please forgive my speech and forgive my tear

You've suffered pain

And you fought back hard

And god... he never left you

He put out his hand

And you latched on

Now your days are all soft

And your life is brand new

I'm quivering... shaking

And I think even a bit scared

How come he takes people like you

It makes no sense

How could he dare

Denise...

You didn't have time to fulfill all your dreams

But you've created many a smile

Soft... sincere... bright sunshine

You were born with a beautiful style

I'll never forget your face

Round rosey cheeks

And eyes that could take your breath away

Memories of a girl

Who was so alive and always real

That's what you were Denise

And that's something that no one can ever steal

I'm proud to have known such a beautiful person

Your life was not lived in vain

Even though it was short

You were always giving

And soothing others' pain

God... please take care of her

Please keep her warm

Thank you God

Words From The Attic... Sing Me Love

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Very corny... and even a bit sappy...

but I loved it!

I don't know if I'll ever find another

chick that I love THIS much...

but it's so much fun reading

about someone who has LoL

There's also a few

"Jim Morrison"

inspired phrases here.

Jim was an incredible wordsmith!!

And also the handwritten piece

shows that last line crossed out

but I love that line, and so

I left it in!

Sing Me Love

Sing me one of those long sweet songs

Of how you love your man

And whisper those nothing's in my ear

And make me feel you understand

Tender licks... softer words

Silver sounds... a golden voice

It's ten to six... I hear the birds

No more rounds... you are my choice

Talking love undercover

Lets make others' see

How easily without a shove

Love can truly be

Squeeze my palm with your real feel

I'm in the mood for simply you

I see my dream... you shuffle I deal

A winning hand... out of the red

Into the blue

Give me morning an hour for magic

Watch me make you happy

Outside sun is looking in

Forever glad...forever free

Lend me time in this morning of untold myth

I sometimes lose my way

I fall into those endless dreams

A lovers gift

That sometimes confuse my day

All is said... all is done

Sing me love this afternoon

Sing me notes sent from the sun

Show me belief in a truthful tune

Chords of life ripple by

Play them soft and easy

That last line was crossed out

on the handwritten version but I love it...

so I'm putting it back in!!
