A bar they call forever

Image
My first album named Spilled Ink is finished so to celebrate all 12 songs will have new videos and lyrics. A bar they call forever has a brand new video with lyrics and is a song that came from the poem I wrote called "I'm in love with a fallen angel" which actually spawned several songs that are on this album. From the upcoming album called Spilled Ink filled with mostly poetry a little bit of music some vocals too and a lot of heart and soul. A bar they call forever Written by Richard M Knittle Jr. Performed by Douglas Haines Memories and alcohol don't make good partners especially when your trying to let go as every woman who walks through the door reminds me of how it was before dancing slow on that hardwood floor. Chorus Sitting here getting drunk at some bar they call forever drinking away the color of your beautiful eyes finding nothing I was looking for at the bottom of shot number nine. Just another night under the neon lights ...

I hesitate. I won’t let go my love for you still grows and I adore you so I’m sittin’ here as time goes by healin’ slow.

From the upcoming album called Spilled Ink filled with mostly poetry a little bit of music some vocals too and a lot of heart and soul. Written by: Richard M Knittle Jr. Performed by: Douglas Haines Your love is now part of me Baby Baby what you do to me is so incredibly new to me your love is now a part of me It comforts me in ecstasy I’ve loved, or so I thought I did I’ve hurt my heart and lost a bit but ever since I met there’s light since I met you everything’s been right Chorus Now making love to you is all I want to do from when the sun goes down until it shines again brand new and when the darkness falls the stars, they shine like fireflies they sparkle on the water I can see it in your eyes and all I want to do is hold your body close and lose my mi...

Smile like you did something wrong.

Smile like you did something wrong Have you ever noticed that the devil who is the epitome of evil has not been  seen for quite some time now since  man himself has now started to create  his own hate and evil and has for a very  long now? We fight over religion which  man created in the first place to control  the masses and their money and looking at some of those television evangelists do not get me started just keep on on  reading to read what I wrote about it then  through our own ignorance of uneducated  bigotry we separate ourselves by the color  of our skin not ever knowing what lies within or where we may be from. I mean, come  on it after all one planet with one race the  humankind and all citizens of earth, we treat women differently almost as if they  are lower class than men even though  they can do everything the same and then  some and of course it is because of that they wear the pants, I believe ...

As I Stand Here

As I stand here on this mountain top looking at all of God's creations in complete and total awe at all that surrounds me, I am saddened that I am even human anymore since hate, violence and racism is all I ever now see, with children dying before they are born with some even homeless, hungry, and living dirty on the streets with people who are just like me that are diagnosed with mental illness with no care at all like depression, anxiety, addictions, personality disorders, and even PTSD. As I stand here and think about life and so many other different things in this valley that is down below, I started wondering out loud and then to myself "Have we not learned anything from our past?" World war I, World War ll, Vietnam, Korea, Gulf War and many more is there not anything else besides killing and war that we know? When will we finally, be ready to give peace a chance? That is what I want to know, but the problem is greed and power and that will be very hard to erase and ...

If death had a feeling

If death had a feeling If death had a feeling I know that loneliness is how it would feel, as the deep dark sadness of depression comes on fast and furious than when it does, it hits you hard and is never easy at all. The darkness that starts to surround us with a thick black fog that comes from a brewing storm in the distance out of nowhere just like a thief in the darkest of nights coming in to steal all of your happiness and joy then replacing it with much regret, unmitigated guilt and sorrow for that is all you will now feel for quite a long while. Death is inevitable it is something that will come to you and I and to the people, we love either by illness, accident, by God's hands, or even our very own. There is no laughter at all as death will always win and if there Is anything funny at all about it well it is just like a game of chance you will just never really know how, where, who, or even when. Those people that are closest to us are the hardest ones to take as we mourn f...

I have risen

I have risen I have risen up from out of my prison that I have built out of misery, anger, pain, and sorrow where I have been locked away and forgotten about in the cold and bitter darkness that now surrounds me so very lonely and afraid from the days back before yesterday through all of my many tomorrows, but not today, no as I have finally gotten away to be free for God in all of His Glory has finally given me the key which I have been missing to unlock all of the lies that have chained me down constructed by my own guilt in the truths that I now hide while blaming all the others for what was living and breathing in my own mixed up and twisted mind where an evil lives and hides among all the good that I have inside as it started out slowly maybe even a bit diabolically so methodically killing off all of who it is I ever was by taking away everything than anyone I ever have loved including my own children whom I do love so very much until all that was left behind was the empty shell o...
