I have been writing poetry, fiction and short stories for many years and have completed a book of poems. I also enjoy comedy writing.

Do good by me

I will do good by you

Look at you, shining brighter than any light

Holding hands, kissing firefly’s in the darkness of the night

Tell me baby, what you want to do

Do you want to get out of here?

And go do something new?

Do you want us to rock the waves?

And split the ocean right through?

Or do you want to tell me I do?

Do good by me baby, let the world puzzle at our happiness

I fall in love with you daily when I see you in that sexy dress

I just can’t deny it, you are a goddess to me

Waving your magic casting love spells on me

But I don’t mind, I don’t mind at all

Because in love I had already took a fall

When I hear your voice I just go crazy

Knowing on the other end of the phone is my baby

Come home to me, I just want our lips to meet

But this crazy love song I wrote for you keeps me rocking on my feet

Do good, do good by me baby

And I will do good by you too

Do good by me baby

Hold me, squeeze me and let the love come through

Do good by me baby, that is all I ask

Just don’t pretend, don’t be wearing a mask

Now butterflies come around pitch on the red ribbon in your hair

I had to pinch myself twice and look around for the dragon’s lair

Because this is just too good to be true it must be a fairy tale

I already have the groomsmen picked

I just need your girls for them to glow with

Just how many kids do you think? One, Two, maybe three

There is no more I, me, only we

I truly thank the powers that be

For bringing me this fine lady

A beautiful black rose in a garden of reds

Someone I can run to when my mind is being chased by the feds

This covenant I make with you as that of the bow

I will forever stand by your side, holding on to you

No matter how high the waters may rise again

I will be your boat, I will be your umbrella in the rain

Do good, do good by me baby

And I will do good by you too

Do good by me baby

Hold me, squeeze me and let the love come through

Do good by me baby, that is all I ask

Just don’t pretend, don’t be wearing a mask

My favorite line: "I will be your boat, I will be your umbrella in the rain." Maybe someone will rap it or sing it or .... just leave it alone and enjoy it as it is...Angels are on the way....ps
