Drenched in Red


Drenched in Red, by Joey Friday

You and your band played well last night
Appreciate, Realize
In fact, you were better than well, excellent
Recognize, Cloud Nine
I will remember that show for years to come
Jollies, Exhortation
Sadly, I cannot remember the name of your band
Blue Funk, Blue Devils
Nor can I recall the type of music you were playing

Author of pic unknown. But I chose it because I liked how everything was showered in red, and the band members in the back seemed more like ghosts than actual people.

From Here, Where Are We Headed?


From Here, Where Are We Headed, by Joey Friday

There is a road big enough for the two of us
Urgency, Brio
Hell, it's big enough for the whole town
Panache, Efficacy
We could have found a home at the end of this road
Capability, Flourish
Even now, I can't believe you stood me up
Uselessness, Discouragement
Did you really find me so repulsive?

Waiting for You, Only You

Waiting for You, Only You, by Joey Friday

What more could a man ask for?
Charity, Temperance
What more is there to life?
Joyous, Verve
What else can I say?
Dash, Zing
I will never let you go
Coldness, Lifelessness
Nor will I ever give you your freedom

I Am Your Self-Appointed Atheist


I Am Your Self-Appointed Atheist, by Joey Friday

I will scream your name to the furthest distance
Verdant, Gusto
When I think of you I shall look to Heaven
Enjoyment, Enravished
I want everyone to remember your name
Anhedonic, Cheering
If you were a god, I would be an atheist
Disgust, Botheration
For I do not believe scum like you should have power

Thankfully, Thankfully



Thankfully, Thankfully, by Joey Friday

I can't thank you enough,
Gratitude, Openness,
The pleasure was all mine,
Greetings, Salutations,
We should do this more often,
Serene, Pristine,
However, I am only your friend on the outside,
Sub-rosa, Hush-hush,
Inside, I cannot stand the sight of you

Something Better is Out There



Something Better is Out There, by Joey Friday

I always knew something better was out there
Excitement, Discovery
I am glad I always believed in further distances
Triumph, Strident
I have found my new calling in life
Satisfaction, Bewilderment
I just hope I don't quit when the going gets tough
Uncertainty, Murky
I am the kind of guy who fails at everything

Desire: it is so hard to fulfill

Desire: It is so Hard to Fulfill, by Joey Friday

Everything was so easy a long, long time ago
Simple, Child-like
Those things were new before they become old
Verve, Spellbound
Those childhood memories are so clear and bright
Spectacular, Dazzling
Too bad everyone has now gone blind
Cheerless, Dreariness
That is what happens when nostalgia turns into nightmare

Closer to the end of it all

Closer to the end of it all, by Joey Friday

I was closer than I've ever been
Searching, beholding
I wished to be closer to a feeling of bliss
Enchantment, rushing
Times like these seem to go on past the honeymoon period
Delicate, Blessed
However, I feel as if I am too tired to relive those moments
Despondent, forgetful
It seems like such a waste of my time

(Pic called Moon on the Mullica, by Jerry Lodriguss)
Here is the website and below is a bit I found about the pic on that site: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090528.html
Explanation: Still waters mimic a predawn sky along the eastern horizon in this peaceful scene. The picture was recorded on May 22nd from the banks of the Mullica River, in a forested region known as the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey on the US east coast. Near the horizon at the left is an old Moon with its narrow, sunlit crescent. Mars is near picture center and brilliant Venus shines farther right. Like the terrestrial lights along the riverbank, the bright celestial beacons are all reflected in the watery foreground. Of course, most of the Moon is illuminated by Earthshine, light reflected from the sunlit side of planet Earth itself, revealing features on the darkened lunar surface.

I am not necessary



I Am Not Necessary, by Joey Friday

I wanted to be with you so badly
desperation, desire
I couldn't live without you
longing, apologetic
We could live among the stars forever
hoping, thriving
Perhaps I was a fool to dream of you
self-esteem, unrequited
I am better off without you
