The room is so dark and dreary My life is now just an empty shell The road that I have each day traveled Has forced me to live in this hell Weed that I first smoked days past Used to comfort me and my pain The feeling I get from this liquid I now can now from no longer from refrain I have watched my life slipping away Not able to put on the brake Just tell me God how much longer Before my pitiful soul you reach down and take In trembling hands I hold the spoon As I hold it over that hot blue flame Watching as the liquid fills the cup This is to what my life has became Now I see the clear liquid in that spoon Thoughts are flying through my mind That rubber hose I tie around my arm I quickly look around me and find My vein is standing out so strong and proud Not knowing the damage it will receive But this trip that I am about to enter Will make my life all right or so I believe I have the needle in my now sweaty hands Trembling hands now draw the fluid on in Making sure I had enough to release my pain On my face is an empty and hollow grin Now to that vein I take my needle full Against my skin I place it now this day Knowing as I push and watch it inward slide That soon all my troubles will be washed away Slowly I feed that fluid into my body Drop by drop it has now entered my blood Soon strange thoughts and feelings released Through my body will, for me, flood I pull the needle from my bleeding skin Laying the needle down on the table there I undo the band that was so tight in deed And leaned back to relax in my chair Now my mind is spinning so fast As the effects of this heroin are hitting me Not a worry do I have now in my life As I have undertaken and set all them free Suddenly I see where I am now So invincible from my mind altering state Along the ledge of a high building I walk Knowing nothing can hurt me on this date Then I turn and leap out into the dark night Yes I knew in my mind then that I could surely fly But my body fell rapidly to the ground This would be the night that my troubles did die Now no more heartache and fear will I face No more will my body I now be able to abuse God has shown pity on my soul and gathered me As I have succumbed to the Heroin Blues © Tall Mountain Dreamer

I went to the store and saw it on the shelf Thinking all the time, I need this for myself The clerk came along and made his sale pitch You would have thought, he was thinking I was rich Well I told him what I was going to buy And back home with it I would quickly fly Unpacked all the pieces, put it together and plugged it in Now my days without sleep were about to begin I figured out a name that no one had Getting the name I wanted made me glad Then into the rooms I went, knowing not what to expect But my personal matters I vowed to protect Into the chat rooms I quickly then fell How this could scare some people I could surely tell People started calling by the name that I chose Most of the first ones I still remember those Now we chatted and chatted about topics galore Not knowing why but getting our views across for sure Then came the world of voice as it opened to me As in amazement people on the other end would be As talking back and forth messages we did send Longer and longer hours through the night we did spend They came to my screen from all walks of life Boys, girls, men, women, husbands and wife I tracked the ones I met, trying to cover all states The times I talked to each and even the date Now the names I saw and some were strange Using every possible combination in range Some of the names would make you smile But the people pleasant, they would chat for awhile Remember the names of Collector, Guardian and Angel too Flowers were named but no sweet smells for you A Krystal Rose, Jasmine, lilies, and lilacs galore You had dogs, frogs, occupations and a whole lot more Sometimes the arguments got on my nerves A calmer place to chill everyone does deserve Well I talked to many and some I called friend Hoping this we would stay til the very end Now my eyes are heavy and I am all chatted out Making it through, at the beginning having some doubt Well I close all my programs and click then on start As off to bed I will soon dart I shut down my computer and put it on standby In my heart I missed my friends, but didn't know why Then the screen went blank and all were gone My first time on the internet was finally done But one thing for sure I knew was a true fact That come hell or high water I would be back I knew as I quietly walked off to bed The internet junkie seed was planted in my head Now there is but one thing left I need to know Please tell me where the last four days did go © Tall Mountain Dreamer

Across this field of green grass Stretch markers everywhere All that lay in this hallowed ground Certainly have something special to share I walk along in silence now Reading the names on each stone as I pass Feeling the hardness of their beds Covered by a soft blanket of grass I see soldiers as they walk along Searching for a stone that means so much With tears streaming down their cheeks Finally their fallen comrade’s stone they touch I see the many flags waving briskly From a breeze that across their bed that now blows The flags marking the site of the bed Of one of this great nations fallen heroes I see the changing of the guard now Only sound is the movement of their feet I watch as they stand in silence to honor These heroes they were never able to meet A family stops and kneels in silence Beside a grave marked by a flag and white stone Honoring the passing of a loved one Tears are shed as their pride to them is shown None of the ones buried here in this place Have asked for anything special to be done They only stood to serve the country they loved Serving until their final breath was gone Nor did they ever ask anything special Of you nor even of me Except to pay respect to this country That they fought to keep proud and free Now I feel a tear as it forms this day A reminder of the pain that others must feel Knowing that their brave hero had to pay For the life we all hold as so real Before I leave this place of honor Where heroes are buried as far as one can see I turn and salute them all with pride For all that they have given to you and me (C) Tall Mountain Dreamer

A hero lays now before us Draped in the flag of his land Having died serving his country In defense of our freedom he did stand People have all gathered together Their lasts respects they come to pay Saying their praises of this hero As in this hallowed ground he will lay I hear the calling of the sound On a grassy knoll a lone bugler does stand The notes fall across this bed of green As God reaches out his welcoming hand A medal is given in their honor Telling of wounds this hero did receive A meaningless medal in my hands I now hold Worthless to me in my heart I do believe No medal can replace the loved one before us A worthless medal this day I did receive The flag is presented in honor of this hero Folded in silence and respect to the brave Laid into my trembling hands as I sit there Rather my hero I wish they now gave Tears fall from sad filled eyes in silence A pain fills our hearts as there we sit The loud report of rifles fired into the air The heart of pain will never quit Praise is given to this hero in worship Our last good-byes we all will now say I place that worthless medal on his coffin So he can cherish it in his own way Our hero is now laying at his final rest A worthless medal buried along side The hero will always be in our hearts now Uncaring where that worthless medal does reside So take all the medals you give to families For heroes that they have lost in war Knowing that they mean little of nothing Never replacing loved ones killed on a distant shore © Tall Mountain Dreamer March 27, 2008

In front of the mirror I stand A reflection looks back at me The image that I look at now I ask, “Why must this be?” I see the darkness circled around Eyes so tired and weary this day I see the sadness on the face Of a body filled with dismay I can see the sorrow they carry As through life they go I see the furrows in the brow As many wonders they show I can see the emptiness they carry From a heart that does not love Sealed forever deep inside Their body protecting it like a glove I can see a tear as it forms Flowing like many that came before I watch in disbelief now As this vision makes my heart so sore I turn from the mirror now No more of this reflection can I bear The pain I have now in my heart The two of us silently share The image I had seen in front of me Is now gone from my view Inside I carry it with me each day As it is the life I live through © Tall Mountain Dreamer March 24, 2008

A snow covered path unwinds Through a glen of snow laden trees Evergreens seen with drooping boughs Feeling the gentle tug of a cold winter breeze No other steps along this path taken My feet leaving impressions behind Unsure of where this path of nature will take me Or as I travel along it what I will find A turn I take as my ears listen The air filled with nature’s beautiful song My thoughts drift through my memories With each passing step I move slowly along The sun reflects of the pure white blanket Lighting my way along this path this day I wonder why no others have traveled it Lonely through the woods it winds its way Suddenly voices I hear coming to me My eyes opening to another winter day I smile as my walk is now completed I Watch as my dream fades away I wonder where this trail truly starts Will one day I find it as I travel along Knowing it will guide me safely now Upon this trail I know I will belong © Tall Mountain Dreamer March 3, 2008

Many nights of dreaming Many days spent in thought Wondering of making love And what it truly brought The touch of soft lips against her Their caress of her smooth skin A lover had taken her now Her learning this night does begin Gentle hands explore her body Under their caress she feels it respond Deep inside of her she feels a warmth The growing of a special bond Their lips together are now sealed Their tongues dance in love this day Pleasure fills her mind completely No words can she now say Her nipples he now caresses A gentle squeeze, a moan she does release Knowing her lover is taking her The feelings she does not want to cease His hand searches for her nectar Lips of her womanhood he does find Gently caressing the smooth flesh As a fiery arousal slowly fills her mind She feels the warmth of her nectar From her slowly it now does flow The love that he is giving to her Is what she has longed to know She feels his entrance into her now Her womanhood is filled inside Wrapped in the arms of each other Together this passion they now ride Stronger the pressure in her grows Her muscles to him completely respond The pleasure he gives to her fulfillment Their bodies as one quickly bond Feeling the pulse of him inside of her Her pressure floods quickly free Feeling him respond to her orgasm She lives in the world of ecstasy This was the night of her teaching Of true love she longingly yearned The night filled with arousal and pleasure This was the night of these she learned © Tall Mountain Dreamer February 15, 2008

Come to me in need Feel my soft touch this day Enter into my offered embrace Let your doubts flow away Feel the softness of my lips As yours in a caress they gently touch The warmth of our bodies united Feelings we have longed for so much A gentle nibble against your skin A shiver of excitement no flows A warmth kindles deep inside As longing passion swiftly grows Hands travel over your skin so soft Your naked beauty there to explore You close your eyes before me now Into your arousal world you slip for sure Your body aches to be taken To feel love’s meaning so true Your heart races now with excitement Wanting me to become one with you Soon our bodies together lay Rid of clothing we once wore Entering into the act of love making Releasing our passions and let them soar A rush of nectar now escapes us Mixing into one as we now lay Wrapped in the embrace of true love From this day on we will stay A gentle kiss once again you feel Your eyes close for the night ahead Dreams of the love finally felt Tonight will be the visions in your head © Tall Mountain Dreamer February 15, 2008

A word spoken unheard A thought never revealed A feeling in ones heart That has been forever sealed The pain in ones eye The sadness upon their face These all buried deep inside As loneliness they embrace A ray of hope dies out Thoughts of doubt soon consume Questioning of ones self Will sadness forever loom A sudden word is spoken The glow of light they see A bond is formed between two Is this is what was meant to be A soft kiss upon their lips Kind words fall upon their ear Erosion of all the darkness comes Wiping away all the sadness they wear A life full of visions now Their heart open and so free Rejoicing that the bonds are gone Their happiness all can see They look into the eyes of this stranger The one that saved them this day Wondering what path brought them together And if in their world they would stay A twinkle of happiness in their eye A gentle smile they can see A warmth grows now deep inside A life has been set completely free © Tall Mountain Dreamer, February 15, 2008

A burning desire deep inside Wanting of a lover’s touch A twinge of pleasure I ache to feel Do I ask of you too much A gentle kiss upon my lips A long embrace we now seal A yearning for you I feel grow All of this I wish to be real A touch of my skin by your hand Along its firmness I feel you slide My heart burns now with the love That I have stored hidden inside Take me in your arms this night Hold me tight against your form Let me feel the heat that builds Keeping our arousal fires so warm Don’t hesitate against me now Take me as your heart does demand Show me the same love I have for you Give it freely as with me you stand I feel you lay me down this night You body hovering over me as I lay I close my eyes and in visions I see Our bodies become one this day Held together by a lust filled fire Arousal has consumed us both it is true You look into the depths of my eyes The love I give is total and true A wild ride of passion we take A spewing flow of our nectar from within I look at you as our nectar unites Feeling release from depths deep within Now that it has come true this night Do the words still ring in your heart so true Do you mean the words that you speak When you say, “Darling I love you” © Tall Mountain Dreamer February 13, 2008
