Poetry by Tim Windisch

Void of any fear  Took our baby steps and dropped the building blocks in place  Wiped away the stains and the pains, gone without a trace We will never forget the past or the road we took to here But we stand together brave and proud, void of any fear You can point to that, people you can even mumble about this Hit the target, hit the road, but if you try to hit me better not miss Been d...

Getting closer to home I finally set sail, I hit the cruise  And I’m through singing the blues  No more wandering, no time to roam Baby you know I’m getting closer to home Broke down the walls, I put out the fires Fed up with the promises peddled by liars Washed out of my hair, untangled with a comb Letting it fly in the breeze as I’m getting closer to home  Too many days spent pull...

Fall thoughts Starting to take a little longer for the lights to come on Songbirds are saying soon the flowers will be gone Time to fly to a warmer spot and count the days until spring Had a great time again and when I see you next year I’ll sing I’m getting colder as the sun sets, I know that bird tells true Soon the pretty landscape will no longer grace my view Leaves drop, nuts and petals and t...

I’m almost there Been a little more more than crazy, been doing my best trying to hide A once clear window looks so hazy, is that spot on the out or the inside The view can be altered depending, it’s only a question of mood Are my spirits rising or descending, pays to have the proper attitude She said I know I’m speaking in circles but I’m shooting you straight The time to love is now, it’s our fu...

Some days Some days are diamonds, while some are dogs Some have it all in alignment, some lack a few cogs  Just when you get to the denouement, you find yourself alone But you’ve done nothing wrong you say, she won’t answer the phone  A passion play without compassion, a love story for one Life’s catwalk in my latest fashion, another heartache begun But the wrinkle in this romantic myste...

Somewhere you can go When the bullets fly I wanna be the guy Pulls you up onto his speeding bike Has a charm, someone you would like Oh no the well’s run dry All the crops and cattle will die A suave sinewy stranger steps down from his horse And with a crack of his whip the sky opens up and pours I know you’ve traveled down  streets that left you feeling uneven Woke up scared and scarred wond...

Grumble Well you can blame me or don’t blame anyone at all Running blindly you’ll trip and you’re bound to fall The pretty tiara you wear upon your head will crumble I’m at an expert on these things I said with a grumble Turns where there should be a straight path home You’ve hit a wall and your tears drip softly on the chrome Everything is a mess, this car will cost a bundle listen to it rumble I...

Hi honey Are you feeling tired, do you feel like you need to cuddle with  your man? Would a gentle kiss, words softly whispered like only I can Set you into somewhere where you no longer feel afraid  Where we can lie comfortably together in the bed we made Well baby close your eyes, put your head back onto your pillow Put some nice jazz on, not too wild, something to help you  mello...

At the end of your rope You say that things keep moving quickly in the wrong direction  All your frowning ain’t going to help with your complexion  Shut down, tune out, hide away cause you don’t want to cope You’re horrified and certain that you’re at the end of your rope I’m telling you baby you don’t have to swing That rope can be used for quite another thing Looking up, give it your a...

Looking to be found  I’m growing tired of the same old rhetoric that’s being spoke Like listening to a pull string toy repeating cause it’s broke  All about tearing down agendas, and protecting us from the woke  Stripping women of their rights, I can’t believe what I hear spoke  How can anyone believe the lies that crazy file hider keeps handing  He practically sold out th...

Love and Peace My candidate is the one for the job, has all the right things But mine has the swing, look at the big money folks he brings So tired of ads, they continue to try to deceive and fleece What we really need is to end divisions and spread love and peace Build me a wall, make contraception a crime, enough with equality Don’t try to join the woke crowd, your efforts will be met with bruta...

Stepping together Been trying to get my feet in sync See I just never dance unless I drink Stumble sober, drinking I’m light as a feather Who needs a shot? You and I stepping together Suddenly Ginger and Mr. Astaire Look a lot like us dancing out there And like Gene Kelly swinging in rainy weather Seems nothing can stop us when we’re stepping together Looks like this is end! The bottom’s fallen ou...

What I was made to do Here smiling sweetly, in my arms one sunny morning Without any sort of indication, void of any warning Vanished from my view, I get no replies or calls Where a happy man stood a confused man falls I lose my mind and I am sounding so absurd As if intensifying an attack will make me be heard I collapse in my room and then try to understand That’s just the way it goes, it’s not...

My arms open wide So many rotten days, too many incomplete’s Started with so much promise, ended up as defeats We aren’t built on treasures, not looking for a pot of gold Just each other’s arms and love to share as we grow old Where are you going to escape from the new day’s sun Still lamenting the last one, but a new one has begun Can’t run away, can’t build a wall, and skip the moat I’ll catch y...

Snuggled Days turned to weeks; pain expanded While desire pushed back and demanded The touch of your skin pressed ever so tight Those eyes, gazing at me awash in delight Times we cried, reached but couldn’t touch Longed to launch into an embrace so much Those days and nights alone babe we severely struggled But the entire sad affair was gone the second we snuggled You can search forever looki...

The way we planned Who wouldn’t want to be in your arms? Sparklingly gorgeous and loaded with charms Who wouldn’t want to gaze into your beautiful eyes I’m certain there would thousands of other guys I thought that by now you would be next to me But I’m lost in a maze of some kind of complexity I try so hard to bite my lip and understand That sometimes things don’t go the way we planned Things to...

Hi there! Greetings and salutations Nothing but good vibrations May life be shining love on you With wondrous joy in all you do I hope there are far less sunsets to weather Until we are able to share one together I miss your face and hearing your voice Stop by soon or give a call your choice Greetings and salutations I pray you have no complications I look forward to hearing your reply Till then I...

Lying in bed I sit outside this morning of our soon to be happy place You’re on the way, coming home there’s a smile on my face The birds are harmonizing, together we are singing a happy tune Our dogs smiling too, laying by the gate hoping to see you soon It’s late July, it’s starting to get hot as hell When we get together we will melt and jell One voice and one love that we share in our song Abo...

Times like these Lying here alone, the thunder claps and lights my bed Pillows fill the void where she used to lay her head Times like these, I wonder where the road will lead me now Can’t find the way, there’s a desire but I don’t know how Times like these, I’d tell my deepest fears but no one’s there Tangled emotions, wrapped in silence I sit and stare All the green, the songbirds sing, the pret...

Seems Fabric of many blends Somewhat frayed at the ends You may think sew What do you know The pretty patchwork is popping its’ seams No one looked after it when they departed Left to our own devices, divisions started You may think, so? What do you know The fractured family’s falling apart so it seems But I think we can all take hold Stand first if you want to be bold You make it so, sew, make it...

Make I’ve been nursing a hunger that needs to be fed Started in my stomach but then it moved to my head Days get turned into weeks, how much more can I take I know what I really want, but there’s things I forget how to make I’ve been walking around watching all the people that found That thing that they’ve been dying for has finally come around No mama I ain’t talking bout a chocolate shake, cake...

Dream of a heartbeat Sticky clothes from sweating fast in the midday heat Quick trip outside, this is not a day to drag your feet Clean the kitchen, do the wash, be sure and hang your clothes Try to pick the place up and put everything where it goes And I look to the skies and watch the sun move slowly west As I dream of a heartbeat that I want close to my chest Is today the day that her calendar...

For you I’m blindfolded trying to pin my hopes on a promise It’s said the best laid intentions still create dramas As you laid there and pictured serenity the calm is swept away Papier Mache memories torched to ashes and alone you play Lock the doors and damn the texts and telephone calls My life’s a menagerie with no privacy behind cellophane walls Run if you can and scream if you think it will m...

Emperor's clothes If I told you of my plans, of the dreams I had of life Skip the riches and the fame You can set it all aflame I’d swap it in a minute to live my days with a wife I said there’s gold right here, wherever we’d spend time Too many people lost in the dash Got to gather up a pile of cash Getting robbed of all the special moments, it’s such a crime You say I don’t know what I’m saying...

Set free You say you want to see a brighter day Break my toys and tell me not to play There’s a path you’re sure leads to the top You’d best get going, no more time to stop Step outside and breathe Go and take a peak beneath The insecurities, Insane anxieties All the shit that brings you to your knees Let the rhythm flow Go with what you know Look past the wreck you see The unkind complexity Whate...
