Ten years married together and they’re still going strong, all the good times are on their minds more than the times that have gone wrong
He still loves to hold her while they relax late each night, to see the smile on her face, and their future’s looking bright
The family they’ve built together, they wouldn’t trade for all the world, it’s worth more than all that glitters, it’s more precious than diamonds or pearls.

Jordan hit Seattle on a Saturday,
even though he lived a few hours away
he needed the break
from the week he’d had anyway
he met up with friends,
& they let him stay and rest up
w/them for a while…
The good times he had with them
brought fresh light to his smile
He said:
“Let’s do this again soon, okay?
when I’m headed back again this way,
& don’t worry about the coffee, I’ll pay,
you all really made my day”

Jo’s been an artist fifteen years
A lot of late nights, hard work,
blood, sweat, paint fumes, & tears
Pouring his heart out onto his canvas,
as much of a challenge as it all is
He says: “I wouldn’t wanna be doing
something different from this,
It’s what I was born to, it is my bliss”

A copper colored guitar’s
slung across a drifting picker’s back
He walks upon roads of old cobblestone
As the night soon fades to black
He is well on his way to where he needs to go
He’ll be there by early dawn,
then he’ll jump, jive, & jam
with all his friends, that’s the plan
until the day once again is gone

Some people ramble so incoherently
thinking all the while that
they’re saying something
new & deep, but to me it seems
like they could really use some strong medication,
a good long vacation,
& more than a few good hours of sleep

A girl of twenty three , she sat quietly
down by an ancient creek
where she loved to daydream
as she took in the beautiful
scenery
and where to her it seemed
like the rushing water could speak

Janie used to dream heavily of Hollywood,
always wanted to be a star
when she was just seventeen, she loaded up her car
Headed out to Cali, where they said all the big names are
but all these years later, her priorities have changed
as they tend to do, they say wisdom comes with age
she still loves to perform, believes there’s nothing
wrong with such a thing,
but also knows there’s so much more
to life than the stage and fleeting fame

He’s a down to earth,
down home poet in boots
& old Ray-bans
Makes his living with his voice
& the guitar in his hands
He adores his family, friends, & fans
“These are truly my people” he says
For them he’d do anything he can
He’s a genius picker, and an even better man

Hello everyone who still follows this blog, I realize it’s been a bit since I’ve shared new poetry here, but I will soon again. I have quite a few ideas rolling round in my mind, just need to flesh them out.
Joshua-He’s a poet from the heart of Texas
he writes as if he’s just speaking plainly
he doesn’t try to impress anybody
with anything fancy
he just lets what’s on his heart flow free
he believes that’s the best way to be
