Door Closing

I reached out for you today but you were gone, Truth is, I’ve been holding on for so long, I always felt this day would come, Though my heart always wanted us to find our way back home, I guess now I don’t need to pretend anymore, You were never coming back, I was onlyContinue reading “Door Closing”

Clone In Stone

There’s a sculpture of me, Made out of concrete and clay, It’s not a loving tribute, It’s one filled with sorrow and pain,Almost like a voodoo doll, but made by an artist who couldn’t sowIt was made with no smile And no frown A blank expression that means nothing even now ,even if it wasContinue reading “Clone In Stone”

Difference Between You And I

There’s no future in the past, Cause all that’s been & gone, Has gone because it didn’t last, I can move on, Though sometimes I sit here and cry, There’s still a life for me, But I also remember what we had, I won’t lie, And that’s the difference between you & I. ©Rob SpencerContinue reading “Difference Between You And I”

The Club Act

Every single Friday night,You and the band have kept it tight,For nine whole years,While the audience watch as they drink their beers, Some play pool in the back room,Others dine in the room next door,Often a hardcore crowd gather near the stage,Usually twelve or more, Your dreams of world acclaim, seem as far today asContinue reading “The Club Act”

Greatest Hits Album

Memories in one package,That unlike us never age,Time flies,But the melody never dies, It’s captured forever,And can change never, In your bedroom,We sat listening for hours,In that summer full of showers, We were still too young to go to the show,But every word we sang I still know, We stood out side the shop hoursContinue reading “Greatest Hits Album”

Timeline

Some believe this is but one of unlimited reality’s,There are many more, Catering to every other possibility, If that’s true there’s at least one which you didn’t leave, And decided to stay with me, One where you turned around when I cried your name, Where my pleading for you to stay, Wasn’t taken in vain,Continue reading “Timeline”

Sunset

Sunset means everything’s alrightEven though a sunsetMay lead to the dark of night Sunset means the past is out of sightSunset is followed by tomorrow with its new burst of light So hold on tightSunset, won’t mean the end is nigh ©Rob Spencer 2021

Flying Free

I’m bearing allWhile standing tallGot knocked downBut recovered the fall Now I rise up and won’t go downIt’s gonna still be hardBut I’m willing to play my cards I’m flying freeThe breeze will only come from under me I’m flying freeAnd I’m all I should be No chains will be able to tame meNo rulesContinue reading “Flying Free”

Back In Time

Yesterday I came across my diary,Not that I keep one anymore,Maybe I should haven’t opened the door,But I didn’t think that far behind,Before I knew it I was back in time, There was the world I’d forgotten,Full of places, people and the things I’ve lost,All the dreams and plans that once were mine,Here I wasContinue reading “Back In Time”

I’m Coming

One day the whole world will see,All the man I am meant to be,The one forced to live behind the dull routine, The one that now only very few can see,The few who have dug deep to find the best of me, The person most of this world has chosen to ignore,One day he’ll shineContinue reading “I’m Coming”
