Thomas Dooley Poems

I wake up the same way every day
Get out of bed one foot at a time
Even when some times I want to stay
Got those morning pain I know I am alive
...

A word to grow
A seed in the soul

Hold to a phrase
...

Ledged's rumor puts shame to my name
As the Kingsmen sing it every day
They still get paid it only fades with age
...

Lost my dream when you looked me in the eyes
In you I thought I found a new dream, it was just a lie
Truth to a lifetime now the choices was mine
...

I sit down in my own peace
Focused on a light that only I can see
Because it is what is inside of me
...

The sun goes down; the night has come
Wondering where will my sleep come from
It won't be from bedtime stories or loving kiss on the forehead
...

How many lifetimes you passed me by
Never will you look me in the eye
This reincarnation changed my life
...

Looking to the future, looking to the past
Putting out the flames of ignorance
Is the tragedy that we have
...

A generational recipe of telling our history
Salt and seasonings bring flavor to the stories.
The vinegar brings a tartness to the bitterness of truth.
...

Don't judge me with your bitterness.
Don't care how you dress.
To me, it doesn't matter who you kiss.
