Words From The Attic... Street Meat








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



Street Meat

Words From The Attic... Once In A Lifetime








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



Once In A Lifetime


Words From The Attic.. Beautiful Memory








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!!


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


Beautiful Memory
Beautiful Memory


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








Here's the 3rd installment
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





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



Is It In Your Lies
Is It In Your Lies


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







Denise Attilio...


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


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


New Life... Goodbye Denise
New Life... Goodbye Denise



Words From The Attic... Sing Me Love








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...
but I love it... so I'm putting it back in!!


Sing Me Love

Words From The Attic... On track







More chick love!

Another piece that I just found
and I like it a lot.
Has some very nice play on words
and paints a colorful picture
of a love affair beyond no other!

Nice!



On Track

Every time you're here it happens
My eyes are filled with joy
You play with me all day
Your very own electronic toy

With you at the controls
And our love on track
To let go of you I could never do
Nor could I ever turn my back

Everyday I ride our love
It's always there for me
I ride for miles... up town... down
And I never get off
As long as you are around

Seat belts on
It's a long way home to you
Believe me babe
Through storms and rain
And even heavy weather
There's just nothing alive today
That can stop me from getting to you
And keeping us from being together

As I come to a yield
I know our love is sealed
I can tell it's so
I see the colors in your ways
You're always there
At the end of my dream
My very own rainbow



On Track




Words From The Attic... Forever Stays With You







Finding that path...
especially if you find it with...
that special person
or that amazing group of
friends and family...
is certainly the goal
of every human being for sure!

I've been both on...
that path
and
in search of...
that illusive path.

So much fun when you find it
isn't it!?!?


Forever Stays With You

Many things have come
And many things have gone
And yet our lives are short lived

Prosperous times have given us joy
Curious times have left us coy
However our dreams remain

For every person within our circle
The sun shines in their eyes
Friendly spirits... a miracle
Contents we know
Still a soft surprise

Come with us and share our happiness
Without all of you
It could never be true
We thank you all for believing in love
It follows your path
Forever stays with you



Forever Stays With You




Words From The Attic... 72 Years Long








It sounds like I'm talking about
life lesson's here.
A warning if you will
about living that
crazy overindulgent lifestyle.

Can't really remember when this
thought left my head or if there was
a particular situation that I went
through that caused the verse
to be born.

No matter though...
I still like it!
Especially love the
"turn to trash" line!

Seems the title came at a later date.
Not really sure what the fuck
it means though.
Perhaps at the time I was thinking
that this was the average lifespan of life.
And to get your shit together before
your time here runs out???



72 Years Long

Wondrous storybook tales
Telling us of freedom and glory
Of how our fathers' set their sails
And oh so many a funny story

But now our story and stories are real
Completing little trips
Sometimes true... mostly false tips

Capturing people in a lie
But never asking why

Seeing someone smile at death
A lonely sod on christmas eve
Wondrous stories turn to trash
It's really hard to believe

Listen to the sound
Listen to the sound racing all around
Fever stricken lifestyle
Better straighten out
Before the sound you hear
Has to show it's clout

The sound is life



72 Years Long
