Poetry by R. Merial Martin
"A Tear Fell," Lyrics By:R.M.Martin
A tear fell one day/
It covered my face/
Obscuring all my visions
of pain endured for years/
To blind too see - too blind
to clear/ away the tear /
A tear fell one day- covering my face/
It's now on it's way/
My shirt is soaked - my chest wrings with wet/
Inside my heart slows its beat and fails to repeat/
feelings of pain endured for years/
Should there have been more tears?/
A tear fell one day - my whole body is wet/the chill makes me sweat/ and yet/ it's still on it's way - my legs - my feet /
And as it soaks in the ground/ suddenly, there's water all around/
And as I slowly sink into the deep refreshing pool, I feel a release/
I am clean/ the pain and memory is gone/
And the thought stills lingers on/
Not to have cried all those years/should there have been more tears?
NO JUST ONE."

Richard M. Martin October 17,1979

INCANDESCENSE

You're the light at the end of the road/
Guiding me through the trials I must face/ along the paths of disgrace/
Bringing me through with love in my heart/ If not for you, I could have never made my start/
Lead me on bright light/ I need your warmth/ to see me through/ the tests I must take/ the mistakes I will make/ to clear my life of all it's wastes/
Illuminate my vision- so I might detect/ hazards approaching and perils breathing down my neck/
Cause me to prevent harms to myself/ to reach you in tact - at the road's endless shelf/
Lead me on sweet light/ each day now seems to have little darkness/ closer and closer I come/ nearer and nearer to conquering my goals/ and my fears of all those years/ Your light shines brighter and aids me to see/ the sweetness in thee/ and feel your warmth as now comes the end of the road/
Lead me on bright light/ I am at your side/
Glowing as though YOU now need me so/
Come let's light up our new world
Lyrics By: R. M. Martin 11-24-79


It’s a Way of Life

Working at a fast foods
Need to get some mind food
It's a way of life,
Working with a gas pump
Just to get a dope drunk
It's a way of life,
Stealing family gold
Just to get it sold
Looking for a fence
Got to get six-pence
Need to get some sherm
So girls can like my worm
It's a way of life,

Screw the books in school
Break the family rules
It's a way of life,
Crazy in the head
Got to lie in bed
Sleeping all the night
Parents think it's right Say you're a growing man
Can't help you if they can
It's a way of life,

Police put you in jail
Then you know you fail
Good things have past you by
While you were getting high
It's a way of life,
Need to find yourself Need to get some help
They say a shrink is best
And you must get some rest
It's a way of life,

Check in for private care
Restrictions!! how they dare?
Here you meet new friends and learn you can depend
On people helping you
Find out what you must do
It's a way of life,
You've come to like yourself and plan to build a wealth
Of knowledge to see you through A new life ahead of you
Thankful for this pause
To help you in your cause
It's a way of life,

For in time you have found that You, Yes You,
Are very special too
You are very special too
It's a way of life- It's a way of' life.

R. Merial Martin June 2, 1981


KNOWING THE FUTURE

Lyrics By: R. M. Martin

Knowing the future
We care/ and/ we share
Brings us nearer and nearer
To care/ and share/ forever
Knowing the future We want /and / we try
For the good and the better

The good and the better/ whatever

Knowing the future
And what it holds/ what it gives/ what it shares/ how it cares/
We know that for all that life may offer us
We can be / a part of it/ if only/ we know what the future/ holds for us
Knowing the future
We love / and/ we give
It holds us together
To love/ to give and to live
Knowing the future
Knowing the future
The future is---- Now.

"WE' WERE MEANT TO BE"
Lyrics By: R.M. Martin

She came between us and so did he/
Little did we know, we were meant to be/
They finally had their way and became free/
Little did we know, we were meant to be/
WE WERE MEANT TO BE, WE WERE MEANT TO BE
We met one night dressed in black,
Love's magnetism could not hold us back/
We danced and glanced and stared/
Could we talk-only if we dared/
We told our friends - but they couldn't see/ that little did we know, we were meant to be
WE WERE MEANT TO BE, WE WERE MEANT TO BE
We promised that we would find a way/
To learn more about each other someday/
From our very first date, like turned to love/
We knew that what we had came from above/
To know eternal love is to know fulfilling love and to know how it is with you and me/ and why we were meant to be/
WE WERE MEANT TO BE, WE WERE MEANT TO BE

SPECIAL Lyrics By: R. M. Martin (11-25-79)

People tell you that I'm Special/
I often hear how good I am for you/ You never spare the compliments/
Often I wonder if there's nothing I can do/ Should someone ask what I think of you/
And why I feel that you're Special too/
I'd tell them that from the time I no longer
compared what we did/ whether together/ individually/ or whatever/
with someone from the past, whether we're touching, kissing, loving/
I have come to know that you're the best ever in all that we do/
It's not only that you understand me/
It's not only that you listen/
It's not only that you please me/
It's because you know how to show love---
If someone were to ask what I feel for you/
And why I want to share my life with you/
I'd tell them to watch us when we're together, whenever, whatever and if they could, forever/
Only then could someone be able to see/
Why this Special love belongs to you and me
