A Without a Home and Other Poems

By Mike Neville

A Man Without A Home

Put out into the world to find my own way…
Knowing in my life there were dues I had to pay…
I can’t go home and I cannot stay here…
Feelings come back to me and bring on a tear…

Take me back to that place I want to be…
Being all alone was never meant for me…
Every road I have traveled has come to an end…
A weary man I have become with no more time to spend…

By myself every day from dusk till dawn…
Only my future ahead of me , my past is all gone…
Loneliness is a man, a man without a home…
Wandering this land like an animal would roam…

A man without a home there is nothing I can do…
Only memories I have come to me in dreams of you…
I’m just living my life day by day…
I am a man alone watching his life slipping away…

Traveling a path determined only by fate…
Fighting my demons and the future I wait…
Time slipping away from a man all alone…
Nothing more lonely than a man without a home…

Boots In The Sand

I wanted to do something different today…
Packed the truck up and drove away…
Ended up on some beach somewhere…
Thought to myself .. what am I doing here…

Took my boots off and put my feet in the sand…
Took my shirt off and man o man…
I can’t believe I’m on this beach and I see you…
And a pair of worn out boots sitting next to you…

I never thought I’d see such a lovely view…
So I put my boots down right next to you…
Asked your name and said how do you do…
Told her that she was that lovely view…

I was stunned when she got up and said to me…
“Grab your boots cowboy and come along with me…
Take me places where my mind wont go…
Hold me tight and love me slow“…

You made it easy falling in love with you…
It’s not just the little things you do…
You make my heart race when you put your boots on…
Make me blush when you sing me a song…

I wanted to do something different that day…
Packed the truck up and drove away…
Ended up on some beach somewhere…
Thought to myself .. what am I doing here…

I’ll never forget our boots in the sand…
That day you made me your man…
Taking you places where your mind wont go…
Holding you tight and loving you slow…

Love Is Life

I walked through the jungle of another world…
Lost my heart to an ungrateful girl…
Time stood still love was brief…
She stole my heart and ran like a thief…

Broken hearted dazed and confused…
I don’t understand why I was being used…
Smiles and good times between sunrise and sunset…
Her world at night I will not soon forget…

I can‘t blame this story on other men…
Love is life, it comes to an end…
Time stood still love was brief…
She stole my heart and ran like a thief…

Was it love or just the way she kissed…
Was I just some guy on her bucket list…
When I saw her coming I would start to swoon…
She had me floating up to the moon…

Broken hearted dazed and confused…
I don’t understand why I was being used…
I can‘t blame this story on other men…
Love is life, it comes to an end…

I walked through the jungle of another world…
Lost my heart to an ungrateful girl…
Time stood still love was brief…
She stole my heart and ran like a thief…
