''DRAGON EYES''

what are you looking at


I know what you're thinking


you think because I'm big


I'm not beautiful?


well let me tell you something~

Dragon eyes can follow

with the look of disgust

because you don't see me

you don't know me

you only see what you want to see

you are looking in the wrong place

and you are looking

with those dragon eyes~

You won't get far with that

you're looking on the outside

not even questioned about

the real me - whose inside

what I am made of

or who I really am

don't give me that crap~

You have only eyes for those

with alluring bodies

and sexy smiles

and battering eyes

because you think they're beautiful

well let me tell you something~

I'm beautiful too!

YOU KNOW ...

Sometimes you get to reading

and you get so involved ~

You become part of the story

or part of the poem

and you cannot drive yourself away

no matter how thirsty

how hungry

or how much pain ~

Reach in...

listen to the words

and you are the one in pain

you are the one that needs

the love and attention

you become the wolf

whose life was tossed

into the wild blue

into the highest skies

amidst the farthest star~

Somehow...

you can't help yourself

life isn't what it was

it isn't peaches and cream

it's no longer a mystery

but it's become a dream~

A dream you cannot escape

a dream where you hammer

on the walls

and you see your life

isn't like you imagined~

You were once the pup..

but now you've become

the protector

the guardian~

And to save all those lives

it's left up to you~

Oh which way to turn

who to trust..

a story untold~

TRUCKER'S CALL THRU THE SKYLINE

Breaker; Breaker! 1-9, anyone listening?

A trucker was leaning half off edge of the highway,

Breaker 1-9; Breaker 1-9 he shouted again

I need to get across the line thru the skyway~

No one was coming back and it was cold

The heat of the radiator was fading pretty fast,

He keyed the mike and just held it a moment

I need Someone to hear me~ at least while I last~

He let off the mike again and still nothing

Dishearten and afraid, a blizzard for miles ~unplanned,

There was very little light left during the day

And all that trucker had was himself and the radio band~

In a lower voice he spoke again, praying

Breaker 1-9, I've got a little story for ya fellers there,

I've been through a lot of hardships in my lifetime

Shot at, slapped, stabbed, and still lived and didn't care~

Once I was hit in the head with a clay pipe

That was about just about eight inches or so around,

I laid the slick out all nightlong and ouchhh!

What a headache the next morning, but I got up off that ground~

I've been through a lot of crap that made me nuts

Drove me to points in my life I could care less anymore,

I tried my best to take away my life and ouchhhh!

Well, that didn't work... they called me ''hard to the core.''~

I don't even know if anyone can even hear me

Nobody was listening when I said my truck broke down,

Besides who wants to hear a honery sucker that's silly

With unfilled dreams who all his life acted like some clown~

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Boy, it's gettin' cold out here ... feelin'

..... well, like a freezer done froze me right to da bone!

But I guess that's the way it was meant to be, huh?

Some guys just meant to be with families,.. others die alone~

His voice cracked here and there and he sneezed

Coughing, almost choking once as he gasped for air,

Then he continued, Well, Boy, if that don't beat all

Some things in life .... well, hell! Life's just not fair!''~

In the distance a light blaring in the midst of the snows

By that time it was already in the morning about three,

The mike fell to the floor by the trucker's dying side

But there were other truckers coming to set him free~

A trucker's call thru the skyline hadn't been wasted

The good Lord hears prayers for they come from the heart,

By the time the first one arrived, the driver was frozen

And the engine was ruined~ and the rig wouldn't start~

It took about two hours after CB'ers did their things

Making calls, getting 9-1-1 on the ball to the site,

But that trucker was rescued in plenty of time

Glory given to God, he made it through the night~
