Christmas Cajun Style
in our house we like
our holiday cajun style
we'll laugh, dance
turn the music up high
we'll cook some jambalaya
and make a pot of gumbo, too
we don't want ham or turkey, no
but some crawfish ettufe' will do
we'll thank God that
we're together and wish
that you're safe and happy
whatever you may do

Christmas Without You
this will be the first
Christmas in seventeen years
i will be without you
it hurts so bad to know you
won't be here with me
i try to think about
all the good times we had
instead of reliving your passing
for i'm sure if you could talk to me
you would tell me not to be sad
i'm not sure how i'll
make it through this other than
holding on to the hope
that we will be reunited
in the hereafter my beloved one

Coarse Goodbye
there are times i can
think of nothing but you
though it's obvious
your love was far from true
i can't kick you
out of my bed for
our love-making was
all made in my head
(like you, always in the
back of my mind)
so, i shall rise above spite
but in the heat of the night
while entangled in
her amorous embrace
i hope against hope
your performance is dead-weight

Dark Is The Night
dark is the night
as she writes
the love lines
she will never say
to her beloved
loving him
from a distance
yearning for
the warmth of
a love beyond
her reach
composing poems
he will never read
yes, dark is the night
to a woman in need
