Welcome To Javatown!!!!!

the cool spot for poetry,music and a great cup of java

Come In!...over cool people stopped by

What is Javatown?

It's a place....

It's a state of mind

It's something different

Javatown is a grown up web page with music and poetry.

Javatown goes from listening to Alanis and slamming to Green Day to writing poetry about your self feelings,the music that you listen to.Javatown is what your dealing with as an aging modern rocker who listened to New Order and REM in the 80's but you're not ready for Micheal Bolton because you turned 30 or 27 and yet,you would rather have someone who's not on the mind level of Jenny McCarthy.This page,i hope will make you feel at home with who you are and where are you going with poetry written by myself along with links to great writers that influenced me and music that I can relate to.So grab that cup of mocha,grab that copy of the Washington Post or the New York Times and make yourself comfy in Javatown

On The Menu: Some really cool bands that don't sound like Alanis or Green Day

> I will admit that I was raised on AM radio in the midwest,and this was one of the acts that I listened to and she made a great album in tapestry,now..years passed on and she still makes great musicCarole King

It's 2AM,the jazz club closes,you're on your way home as you enjoyed a great show and this man was a legend in his own timeJohn Coltrane

This band is just too cool to be believed,check out The Cardigans

Check out who's on The Babe List. some very interesting women who will make you swoon.

I have been very busy with other stuff...but new poems will follow and submissions are always welcome here

I also added a new page that's Bound By The Beauty The first poem there's inspired by a beautiful actress out there.

In My Own Words

here are some of the poems that I'm working on,plans are to publish a book called "the love parade"-named after a song from The Dream Academy

Damage Is Done

I Know that I might've said some things

that made you cry

I know that you lashed out at what I did

But what could I say

to bring you back

into my world

I would say these magic words

But you lay a deaf

Leaves me in tears

"I'm not a bad guy,just lonely" I say

But what can I do?

What can I say?

Should I see you eye to eye?

But I have too many tears

to tell you

that i'm sorry

I want you as my friend,I don't want you to hate me

Only want you to think

that while you and other people have somebody

There are others who by reason or another have NOBODY

Letters Never Sent

It was a cold day when i wrote you this letter

I spent all of my pay on the groceries and what I owed

I Promised that I would write,but I was too busy to do so

We always would call and talk

Talk about God

Talk about Love

Talk about Music

Talk about Life

But we would always talk

Say that it was a beautiful thing for us

Didn't care about the bills

You were a main piece in my life

Fate bought us together,Fate led me to you

I couldn't been more happier when we connected

I couldn't have been more sadder when I had to leave home

There wasn't anything for me left in Toledo

Friends getting hitched,ruining the norm

I was too different for Toledo...so I had to move on

So I'm at a java house writing this

Knowing that you're far away in the flesh

But you're never far away in my heart

I'm sitting down,writing you this letter

Knowing full well that I said that I missed you and I do love you

But how good is a hug when your arms are too short to reach God

-Jennifer Anne is whom this poem is dedicated to for she is the closest thing I have to a girlfriend

Toledo

Somewhere on the plains of Ohio...Where I came to be

I felt different than the others,I didn't become blue-collar

I didn't chug beer nor fish

I didn't become a dull yuppie..who took everything Toledo offered at face value

I wanted something different,I didn't want to be complacent

I lived my own quiet rebellion..rebelling against whitbread mid american culture

I did things differently than the rest...it set me apart but what was left

Whatever friends I knew of fell in line...I realized that I didn't have much time

Before I would fall in line...see my dreams wasted as Idream of pate never tasted

So I left Toledo...and its midwestern mediocrity

Headed for a new adventure...and times that became tender

I'm here now out east...I know it's been rough

But could i never go back...Back to what I never hope to be

A Dreamer in a midwestern city..who's trapped in the blanket of conformity

I still wanna be free...before time has to make me be

I Love You

I love you with all of my heart

I love you so much to be a cliche

I love you with my soul

I love you when I feel cold

I love you like a soap opera cliche

I love you with words I gotta say

I love you for the love of god

I love you like an ad for a bod

I love you like I don't love myself

I love you even though you insult me

you tell me everything that I wanna hear

and I'm swept by your cliche

I love you even though I'm scared

Scared that I'm growing up

Scared that I'm becoming like everyone else

Scared that I'm doing everything for two

Scared that I'm trying something new

That's why I love you.....

Can't you see that we're in love

You must be blind to us

You must see everything with rose colored glasses

You see black and white

but you don't see grey

But can't you see that we're in love?

Can't you see that we're together now?

Can't you see another level

that we're flying to?

Or is it that you've seen everything?

Can't you see what love has done?

Changed me for the best

It didn't change me for the worse

I'm still the same human

But can't you see?

Let love lead you

(to somewhere new)

Let love take you by the hand

(and show you how your life can be)

Let love tell that there's more than valentines day and flowers

Let love take you to incredible bliss and everything else ends on a kiss

personal note this one is about a woman who I would do anything for because she means the world to me and without her,I wouldn't know what to.

Jennifer

I love your green eyes

I Love your wit

I love your flaming red hair

I love your charm

It was fate that bought us together

It was a freshman thing that I went to

Didn't know anyone new

I just came out of school

It was far better than feeling baby blue

I didn't wanna be the hometown hero

Go to the local school

Be a hometown legend

But you became the reason..for me to stay

It took time

Something better became anew

I finally got something true

A close friend,one who's true blue

She was there for me

I only hope to be there for her

Somehow I'll never be far away

Not when she's always in my heart

To those of you who do not like my words...fine,they're not perfect...in fact no one's perfect...enough said. One can only act so tough behind a computer while spouting out so much hate that they feel inadequate themselves.
