    I Feel You In My Heart

    I feel you in my heart The future has always been so appeasing, we knew right from the start Now pillows in place of my love, so tightly squeezing, I feel you in my heart Wondering, questioning no one but my own darkening thoughts and fears But my love is not lessening, a vibe from a click of oureyes, now full of tears Desperation, sitting alongside exhaustion, having lunch with hopelessness Resisting urges to charge ahead without caution, never could, nope unless Everything we said and did was pretend, and we were simply playing our part If so, drop the curtain, show can end, I’m still holding on, I feel you in my  heart A Valentine of roses dreamt, growing here; your smile beside me let the day start The tomorrows that we talked about can appear, oh! Babe I swear I feel you in my heart Tim Windisch 02 13 2025

    No

    No No decorum, not even a forum Skip the back story don’t bore ‘em! Days passed; to too many, too fast! Where’s the feeling was s’posed to last? Green soon, remember late ’21 June? Stumbling in the dark like a buffoon No sounds, all alone dumping coffee grounds Time passes; no communication, hopelessness abounds No fills, not a word and my spine chills Don’t need much to get my cheap thrills Too many days, ending badly in the same ways Like one of those depressing one-man plays No thought, too many battles I’ve fought Looking high and low for the happiness brought Not here, no joyful starts, happy hearts, no cheer Left to choose between the lesser of my darkest fear Hiding doubt, acting like I know what it’s all about Silence fills the room but inside I scream and shout No regrets, choice made, stands firm yet frets Tough weather; he focuses on how good it gets Riding solo, waiting to join her hand you know Tough sledding when the cover gets too thin though Falling off the sled, wishing they were home in bed Apart too long , get back together again instead No way to pretend, can’t mimic that feeling my friend Do what we have to, to end up back together again Tim Windisch 02 07 2025

    57 is 19 X 3

    57 is 19 x 3 Pressed between the pages, filled with love across the ages Sweeter words expressing your grace were not written by sages The thoughts of the joy, the twinkle in your eye caught this boy I meant every single word babe, loving you I would never toy And I’ve been banging my head, nights with no you I’d sooner be dead But I sit again and add more to the realms of poems instead Another year passes by alone, I sit and I stare at that goddamn phone The love we share touches me more than anything I’ve ever known In my head I commit acts of violence, I curse the world in silence Then I calm myself, hearing my grandma and smelling her violets Dasn’t get so upset kid, end up like your pa, talk silly and blow your lid Close your eyes and say a prayer that it gets better, so I did But it’s the mere thought, it guides me to the place that I sought And I finally chill, actually chuckle at the resolve that it brought Mother chimes in about care, I hear her daily even though she’s not there Promises made are meant to be kept she said as she twirled my hair Those eyes were not lying, follow through boy, you have to keep trying No battle was ever won by sitting there yelling and crying So I just figured I would say, I give my right arm to find a way To look you in the eyes, kiss you and wish you a Happy Birthday But if it doesn’t come to fruition, I will do my best not to bemoan our position Only to picture the joy we will share when we finally improve our condition I love you Christina Rose!

    Time Marches On

    Time marches on Those used to be’s are flying again, mentions of how it was better way back when Unlocked doors without any fear, waving to strangers just to spread some cheer Bolt those doors, keep your gaze fixed ahead catch no eyes, wonder why you ain’t got a friend Governments and department stores, got more to hide behind smiles and shiny floors Come and go, with the tide of fashion, what matters most you hide inside, your true passion Ease and relaxation unlocks the desires, the key to open your mind and unlock the doors Time marches on and history always looks, peanut farmer, business man, it sorts out the crooks Posturing does you no good from the grave, not about how much you had, rather what you gave Making humanity habitable, dodging your flaws with lawyers, you write your own books Used to be a time… oh I am certain there was, but tomorrow is the time creating all the buzz Smiling at those memories, taking the facts; merged with what’s there now to fill in the cracks Some of this is okay, but you’ve just got to try some of this, blending together like it does Time marches on and we make ours, play outside when it’s sunny, come inside if it showers How we play changes but our friends should remain, ransoming love over politics should refrain Leave Caesar to have what’s his, he can fear the ides of March counting money up in his towers I’m going to live life with family and friends, do my best to stay on the road and mind the bends` The shit storms I encounter I’ll plow through, cause stopping in the middle of one will never do Time marches on, and the pace picks up,  I just want to enjoy the rest of mine before it ends I’m not chasing used to be’s, rather making new, trying to create more time to spend with you Championing integrity, sharing time; help a friend find a laugh, compassion doesn’t cost a dime Time marches on, administrations and policies come and go, and one day yours is through So make the best of it Tim Windisch 01/09/2025

    Alright

    Alright Sipping on my coffee, trying to see through the heavy fog Reaching for my love, but my arm is wrapped around a dog I know there’s always something, with an underlying desire To circumvent this situation, only embers remain from our fire I’d love to rekindle the flame, but babe I ain’t even got a log Chilly on the sofa, my feet feel so cold on the bare wood floor It could eighty-five in here, but we both know it won’t heat me no more I don’t need external flames to generate the heat my poor heart needs It’s the bowels of my soul, and honey you know your love is all it feeds On your touch, your warmth, I sit here praying you’ll walk through that door The days seem to be getting so much shorter, the along comes the dreaded night Dreams that used to excite me, days where everything just looked so bright Alone they’re just dark and empty, sadness and hopelessness freely abound I squeeze my eyes shut and try to hide, motionless laying there not making a sound Praying you’ll be the first thing I see when I open them, and everything will be alright Yeah, everything will be alright Tim Windisch 12/19/2024

    You feel

    You feel You feel rundown, body’s infected I sit alone ignorant, lost and neglected Can’t get it right but you go at it all wrong Kept to yourself even though I came along Said you never had somebody who’d care Promised to share a life but you’re never there Sometimes I bang my head against the wall Sometimes I fall asleep waiting on your call You feel scared, but keep watching tv Violence and mayhem all you ever see Need a chest to drop your head onto Stroke your blonde hair and caress you Said you never had anybody who’d long To tend your wounds and sing you a song So I warble out the words to a love tune Singing babe I miss you, got to see you soon You feel you’re slipping, too steep of a slope I scream I understand babe I can barely cope Apart from the dream that holds it all together Tore your lace and got whipped by your leather Put the rubber to the asphalt steer your way clear Wrap your blues around me when you bring it here The distance needs to be eliminated for us to score We’ve only had a taste and babe we both need more You feel, I feel too I feel it’s time for me and you Tim Windisch 12/05/2024

    Ode to Christmas Carol

    Ode to Christmas Carol A legend left the building, the sad news came And we will all move on but it won’t be the same If you called her a legend she’d probably laugh Maybe fawn for the camera offer an autograph She wasn’t searching for a spotlight for her face Rather for the earth, pay attention to what we can’t replace Or the poor who have no money for shelter or a meal Causes caught Christmas Carol, sincerity you could feel From my home in Milwaukee, to London, Africa and abroad She shared tears for suffering, and every triumph she’d applaud Shared a story and it made you laugh, she was such a gas Memories that I love to bring back, I know they’ll always last I’m proud to say I was a friend of hers, and her show I’ll always save Every Tuesday when I start I remember “Just Do It, Hit It Dave!” Rest In Peace Carol Nah, Raise a little hell girlfriend!

    Time Can

    Time can Time can be my friend, or time can run away Hold me for a slow minute, promise me you’ll stay Words can help me explain, words can leave me blank I’ve so many of them to find the right way to thank To thank you for the dreams, those dreams I long to see In daylight, against an autumn sky under our maple tree Time can be my friend, this time the clocks won’t mean a thing And words can be breathed by lovers hear the song they sing Dreams were the plans we cried about after myriad false starts Time after time, words failed but the fire kept burning in our hearts Oh baby, feel the cure to your ills, God knows it’s more than pills Ain’t nothing fancy, you don’t need fancy just true love, no frills Oh baby, zip your coat and grab your keys, drive past the houses and the trees To our home in the city where your man is waiting here patiently to please Honey don’t you know time can be our friend; we can laugh as it ticks away Words won’t be hard to find, how many will we need to be happy every day? Dreams will be between us, tomorrows of laughter and love Blessed to finally be sharing the grace of our God above Tim Windisch 10 08 2024
