Stevie's Poems have so much to show us!


Please join my prayers for his families.

My beloved friend Stevie (he liked to be called Stevie instead of Allen) was
rushed to Hospital by Ambulance around 9:00am on December 3rd (Saturday).   
Hospital found him had a very bad stroke and later he died in the hospital at
around 7:00pm.

Stevie was a very talented poem writer. There are currently 53 poems posted
on my website http://www.good4us.us.  While still updating the web pages for
Stevie and setting up the "Allen Stephen Winters Foundation", I'd like to invite
you all to join my prayers for his families.

Stevie had no life insurance or saving. 
Your kind donation will be appreciated very much!

While Stevie was alive, he wanted very much to publish his poems and to let
people know that policemen have beaten him up wrongfully (police got the wrong
guy) and police got away with their wrong doings.  Stevie has become disabled since
police beat him up 5 1/2 years ago.

So, if you like to help with the donation and be the sponsor of his book
titled "The Man Who Sees Two Moons", please contact me at
webmaster@good4us.us   Or you can click the "PayPal Donate" at my site to gift
your donation here.  All the money collected will go to
"Allen Stephen Winters Foundation"

Please post this message around over the web if you may.   
May God bless you all.

A Hand Hold If you'd quit trying to scratch your way to the top may be someone would give, a hand hold Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

All I Need To See If my angels not in heaven there's no room for me For of all the things I've seen in life she's all I need to see You've shown me hate and love alike and all I need to know Is if my angel isn't there I don't need to go I'll go to hell and save my love if that is what it takes But don't try to separate us that's the end for heaven sake Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Already Sore You've lied to me so many times, I've known that all along but now it's time to say goodbye because I know it's wrong all you do is use me, and you never really cared how much your lies have hurt the love that you and I once shared you run around with other men and expect me not to see so all that's left for me to do, is stop my love and set you free It hurts for me to tell you, that you can't see me any more but you've hurt my heart so many times, that it's already sore I hope that you can find someone who loves you like I do because it's time for me to find someone who's love is true I don't mean for this to hurt you, just to let you know your free and I'm really going to miss you, but we just wasn't meant to be This doesn't mean we can't be friends, it just means we can't be lovers I know you have enough of them, and I can't fit in with the others so if you ever need my help or need a friend thats true just call me up and let me know, I'd be glad to still help you but the reason that I wrote this down was because of your last lie the one that broke the camels back and caused my love to die 4/11/89 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Angel Love The Love my angel gave me is like none I've ever known It turned my heart back into flesh, where once it was a stone She seems to give my life new hope, where once it was a mess And any time I need more help, she can give it best I thought I'd never find a girl, that would be right for me But she touched my heart and made it warm, and gave me strength to see That not all women are the same, there are some that do still care I know I can give her all my love, and my heart will be safe there So any thing that I can do to make her more care free I'd gladly do for all the pain, she took away from me Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Another Day There is no way that you can love, if you hate another race. Because the love you think you feel, is lost without a trace. For love to work; you must love all, or it just doesn't count. It's like you say you love a rose, but leave other flowers out. God made us all, we're just the same, because color's just skin deep. And if you think you're better than, your mind is half asleep. So wake it up, take someone's hand, and help them on their way. Because it will take each one of us, to get through another day. And death will come for all of us, and I guess he's color blind. Because he doesn't care what race you are, if you're the next in line. Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Arrange For Change It seems the things you try to change always will remain the same The only things that seem to change in no way can be arranged It seems are lives we have arranged so that they will never change And when they change you have the thought you'll never be the same So the best thing to do is arrange for change Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Bagworm Eyes The other day I was walkin underneath a tree When all once I looked up and seen eyes peerin down at me It was a little bagworm there watchin from on high I wondered what he thought about just danglin in the sky He probably thought that he was bigger lookin down on me Cause here I was down on the ground lookin up into his tree I knew that I could crush him pull him off and step on him But then it made me wonder was he holding up that limb It really made me think about maybe I should let him be Because maybe he was protected by that massive tree And just keep in mind the next time when you lookin up at the sky There are bigger eyes that are watching you then those bagworms little eyes Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Beaten Until Proven Innocent - True Story Coming home from fishing trying to relax I never would have thought they were about to break my back They pulled me over violently and beat in the ground They chased away the witnesses standing all around They never considered innocence as they cuffed and stepped on me They only thought me guilty that was plain to see It didn't take them very long to bring the victim in And for her to point her finger and say that isn't him They finally had to let me go blood streaming from my head And I'm glad that I was innocent because I probably would be dead Now I'm on disability unable to stand up straight I tried to sue the I.P.D. but four years I've had to wait So when you are in INDY make sure you walk the line Because they don't care if you're innocent If they think you did the crime Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Brians Song So you like to fuck with me and cause me lots of pain Well I have to say it's nothing new and every time's the same except this time we'll have to see, what will become of it because you fucked at the wrong time and I think you stepped in shit So step aside or walk around because this time I say If I'm the one you want to hurt there will be hell to pay I try too hard to be too nice to have some hateful one to walk right up and try to end anybody's fun your always full of nastiness because some one did you wrong But you better take one step back or I'll give you a new song a brand new tune you can sing so everyone will hear The way somebody finally stood without the waight of fear and turned your mind completely around and finally made you think that lots of things you calmly do to other people stink So shake your foot all by yourself before you end up nursed Or we'll just fuck together and see who get's fucked first 10-24-91 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Bring Sunshine Back On this dark and lonely day the suns still shining thru Because I know your out there and I know your love is true Its really storming heavily and the rain could bring me down But I know that later on today you'll be coming back around And you make me very happy cause your smile outshine the sun And no matter what your doing I know I'm your only one So the rain can keep on falling and the thunder clash away Cause I know that you'll be coming home and bring sunshine back today Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Check Your Sticks I use a stick to scratch my back When I get an itch attack. And it's kind of strange to get an itch That makes your body want to twitch. A twig or branch will suffice To get that itch and feel so nice. A tree or pole will sometimes work When an itch gets too berserk. But close attention must be paid Or your skin might peel away. Because some itches are the sign Of the poison ivy vine. And sometimes mosquitoes can be the pain When they try to strike a vein. And fleas and flies can make you jump When their suckers make a bump. So, don't attack that itch with sticks Until you check that stick for ticks. 10-7-91 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Chrissy Winters Don't ever think I'd cheat on you, I love you far too much and I'll never want another, I'm spoiled to your touch I think about you constantly, and love the way you are I'll always need you close to me, I hate it when your far Your such a special lover, you can always make me smile but I wish you wanted a little more, you make me wait for such a while Still I'll never need to stray, your the girl for me and as long as I can make you happy, with you I'll always be I'm really going to love it, when you become my wife and I hope you really want me, because that means for life But I think that I can keep you happy, and most times it's fun to do because it makes me feel so good, when I am pleasing you And I trust you more than anyone, that really does feel good for you I would do anything, I hope you know I would And the excitement for me still is there, and I think always will cause no one else could ever come close to the way you make me feel So I'll be yours forever, and I hope to never part because if you ever left me, it would break my heart Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Do Without When life becomes depressing because you don't know what to do Just think of other people less fortunate than you Sometimes this helps the feelings you might have about your life To know that other people suffer with more strife And sometimes it's just your feelings that cause you all the pain Because there's nothing wrong with you your just under lots of strain And money is the main thing most people think about But the more money that you seem to have the more you seem to do without I've seen this happen lots of times the rich always want more You'd think to listen to them they were really poor They can't afford to buy the things that they don't already own Like bigger cars and fancy furs or maybe bigger homes So you better be really careful what you think about Because there are those people that really do without Without the food that makes you fat Without the cars that burn the gas Without the house and all it's bills Without the money and all its frills Without the killing of a fox Without the trees to make a box A box that holds you in the ground for someone else to say they found With all your riches there inside so they can keep that spending stride And build there box for them to stay and kill the fox so they can say All you owned one time is there's and where you are no one would care Because a care you never gave except for you, your feelings saved Without enough you never had that caused all your feeling's bad When life becomes depressing Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Fly Faster A little bird came flying With a little welp It made a crazy landing And begged it's mom for help What should I  do when an eagle flies And tries to take my life? It seems everywhere I go these days I'm under a lot of strife The mother bird looked down at him And smiled with her beak and said Fly faster Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

For Love To Show A flower grows all by it self, no need for helping hands. But to grow in rows with elegance, sometimes takes special plans. Sunshine and rain should be enough, but it takes more to make thim sprout. You have sprinkle lots of love, to bring the colors out. With love and care and sun and rain, your flowers will grow strong. And when you keep them tended to, you never can go wrong. Because flowers are like humans, they need your love to grow. And when you tend them carefully, your love through them will show. Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Forever Be My Wife The thought of you just holding me makes my world so intense That just the size of space we'll need for my love is emense So I'll fill your house all up with love and probably keep on going Because this little house my dear can't stop the love that growing The love that seems to fill my life and get better every day Because you are so good to me and help me in every way I just hope that I can make you happy as happy as youre made me Because without your specialness I wouldn't even want to be So if your love for me my dear go's out just half as far We could walk upon the moon or any distant star And with you my queen and me together we could start new life So I'll just keep on asking you Forever be my wife I love you Chrissy Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

From Womb Straight To The Tomb So you walk around through your little life and think you have a choice Do what you want to who you want and don’t listen to that voice It tells you who just not to hurt and sometimes what to do But if you just don’t listen, all you do is what you want to do And if you think that no one cares, you’re making the wrong choice Maybe it is time you start to listen to that little voice If God comes back you never know who he’ll come back in And when he does I don’t think he wants to be crucified again So if you want to take a life make sure it is your own Because when he comes back I know he won’t want to go from the womb straight to the tomb Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Give More Gain More If your love is ending and your heart begins to burn Your mind begins to fail you and you have no where to turn Why keep on pretending? Just sit back and take your time Start a new beginning just listen with your mind For if you love somebody you'll never cause them pain The more you give them pleasure the more your heart will gain Bring no one your heartaches for if you do you'll find The pain that you are causing is the pain that's in your mind Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Happy Anniversary I'm really proud being able to say happy 25th anniversary day In this world there's many who try but most are alone whenever they cry You've had each other whatever the test and as long as you live I wish you the best I also must say, your a real lucky man that through all of the hard times a woman would stand Lord knows I tried and lost quite a few but one woman stood 25 years for you You also have stayed, and she should be glad cause rich men like you leave many girls sad But your still greatest feat through all the worlds mess is you brought up some kids, and I must confess I would be proud to call each one my own and not one can say they had a bad home So keep pushing forward, you always will know we all stand behind you wherever you go 11-14-91 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright © 1991 Allen Stephen Winters

I Am Thankful God couldn't find a person sweet enough for me so he sent an angel with the name Christine Her hair is like an auburn sunset with purest streaks of gold and he blessed her with a body, no one man could hold Her eyes are of the bluest skys, that make my heart just melt and her skin is so much softer than any I have felt With her touch she moves my soul and makes my body tremor and if she stould next to the sea her smile outshines its shimer All I can say is thanks to God I'm a very happy man and to prove to him that I am thankful, I'll make her as happy as I can Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

I Love You Christine I've never been with anyone the way I am with you Your such a special person, I don't know what to do My only thought is to please you and treat you like a queen and I always want to be near you "to touch" is close enough for me I Love You Christine Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

I'm Sorry I really want to say, I'm sorry for tearing up your heart And it really does disturb me to think we'd ever part I really want to stay with you and keep our love forever And I promise that I won't walk out I'll never leave you ever I think that your the greatest woman I'd ever want to know And I'll always keep you happy no matter where we go So please don't ever leave me I'll always need your loving Because without you by my side my world would be as nothing Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Just For You Why am I so lucky to have someone like you I know that you deserve more than the little things I do Your like a story book princess, but I'm not near a prince According to lots of other people I should be kept inside a fence But when it come to you, you treat me like a king And if I were, I know that I would give you everything I think your really something, with your beauty and your grace And I'd be really proud to take you anyplace I truly think your special with your elegance and style And really hope you like me too, cause I'd like to stay a while Stay around and be your friend, your helper and your lover And as long as I have you, I won't ever need another So keep in mind anytime you need someone who cares Just call me up, and you can bet, I'll surely make it there But just  for you Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Leave Her She told me to go so I did But I shouldn't have So now when I think what she said She shouldn't have To make a long story short I'm going to leave her But how can I leave when I need her And how can I need who don't need me When all she does is comfort me Of her I'm not the one She's going to have all this fun Why can't she see how I care And how that I'm always there When will our time be right When we learn no one wins when you fight Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Loved You From The Start Ever since I met you, you turned my world around You make me very happy, where I used to be so down The way you are is special, like no one I've ever known And still we barely know each other, our friendship hasn't grown Sometimes you sure surprise me with the things you say and do It really means a lot to me, to know you like me too I'll always try to make you happy, and be your best friend I sure would hate to hurt you, cause I don't want us to end Because you keep my world in motion and never let it slow And if I ever need some help I know just where to go Thats why I never need a reason to ryhm the way I do I think of life and love but mostly just of you And theres one thing I know for sure, for you the way I feel And I've felt it from the very start, thats how I know its real It comes up from the deepest depths, of a very caring heart And that is how I know Christine, I've loved you from the start Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Marriage Should Last Forever As the world is spinning, and the stars are shining bright, it's really great to be with you, on this chilly winter night. I'll want your love forever, always close enough to touch, And I've never wanted anyone, or needed them as much. I think you have me hypnotized, not knowing what I do, Because I never think of anything, but new ways of pleasing you. But I don't mind your owning, my body, mind, and soul, Because only when your with me, does my life seem to be whole. And I didn't even know you existed, until a few short months ago, But now my life is wonderful, because you make it so. I wrote this down to let you know, you've really changed my life, And it would really make me happy, if someday you'd be my wife. But I'd think about it carefully, am I the one for you? Am I the one you really want, to always to married to? Because marriage should last forever, not end at anytime, So really look me over, before you make up your mind. But just remember baby, I'd be yours forever true, And I'll never want another, as long as I have you. Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

No Matter What You Do It seems the things you try to change always come back to you Things you don't like will stay the same no matter what you do Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Pain In The Heart When it's cold and blowing, the way it is outside. The world is hard and lonely, and it makes me want to hide. I think about your loving arms, and the way you squeezed me tight. And how you've gently kissed me, and loved me through the night. I still can see you standing there, with that caring smile, and the way you'd sometimes hold me, and say I love you all the while. But then I will remember, just how far we are apart. And I know just where it's coming from, this pain that's in my heart. Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Puppies Those little puppies they bring us joy even when they use our shoes as their chew toys They scratch and bite and claw our legs and when you eat your dinner they stare and try to beg The sneak and creep and try to find another way to tax our minds Their fluffy heads and little tails seem to get their bodies in all kinds of hell but the good they do all the wile is warm our hearts and make us smile So get a puppy you can't go wrong they'll make you happy and your heart grow strong Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Rainbow Today I seen a rainbow and it reminded me of you Because you have the beauty that the rainbow lets shine thru And even though your far away I still know that you care And I know that when I come back home your love will still be there And it helps me keep my sanity to know that you'll be true And you can always be assured I'll come back home to you So please forgive my foolish ways and don't ever let us part Because without your loving arms this world would crush my heart Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Rappen Cowboy I'm a rappen cowboy and I'm just a little strange I like to do my rappen on the prairie and the range prairie now when you see me rappen just stay out of my way I have a lot of cows to rap and not much time to play yes I'm a country rapper and I'm a little weired I like to do my rappen while I'm riden on steer and if you listen closly you'll find the cows help too They get there horns to tappen and know just what to do They get there bells to ringen with the rythem of the step and as I am a rappen it adds a little pep Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Simply Fresh Air The smell was some gas, that I had to pass, early one Saturday morning. There was know way to know, and no where to go, from that smell with so little warning. But I kept up a pace and tried not to trace, the steps I had already taken. But wherever I went I was given the hint that the smell wasn't easily shaken. So the next time I feel, the need to expel, I'll remember the fart of the year, and how my eyes started running, and my head felt so funny, from the lack of simply fresh Air. Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Some Belief There's a pussy in the grass it's next to your ass out it smells terrifically good It's nice to the touch and I love it so much if only you'd say that you would You keep me at bay, with the things that you say but I know that your wanting it too So by keeping me, from the thing that I need you should know, your just hurting you So think this thing through, is this what you want to do starving your body of sex And I want you to know, that wherever you go I'm waiting to hear you say yes Because if you keep saying no, I'll just have to go and see a good friend of mine There's calluses many, that means lubricants plenty but in the end it works out just fine It's the safest sex too, but it still can't match you so please let me know here real soon Cause if I can't get relief, I've got this belief that my harden will stretch pass the moon 09-26-91 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Special Beauty The world seems so much brighter, whenever your around And I can hear your whisper, in every soothing sound You make my nights more starry with your radiance and style And you could change my attitude, with just a little smile But the thing that makes you special, and I've noticed it from the start It's that really special beauty, that comes out of your heart Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Special Woman With your love you made an angel, and God gave her just to me And from you she got her beauty, that is clear to see But there's more to her than just her looks, she's more than just a human And I know it had to come from you, because your a special woman And I really want to thank you, because you have made me see That without your wondrous daughter, I wouldn't want to be And this is our first Christmas, and I've not much gold to give But I will always owe you, as long as I shall live Still there's no way I can repay you, but I do want you to know If there's anything you ever want of me, I will make it so Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Stay With Me I always think about you, no matter what I do And when I am away from you, I know you miss me too How is it that you always are so wonderful in my mind And when I finally see you, you always look so fine It's like your always ready and look your very best But thats not hard for you to do, you look better then the rest It's like your beauty comes from within, a brilliant shining light And when I say your beautiful, you know that I am right Theres times when I am with you, you make my life so great And when I am away from you, you know I really hate So please stay with me Chrissy every chance you get Cause when you are away from me, my life aint worth a shit Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Sweet Little Wink Just the thought of seeing you, can make the day fly by It seems that your the only thing, that doesn't make me sigh People drive me craze, they make me want to scream But when you are here with me, my life is like a dream The problems of this planet, don't seem to weigh as much And you don't have to say a thing, just use your special touch The one where you can touch my heart, and make me want to smile By making all the pains of life subside for just a while And the way that you can help me out, by showing that you care And knowing that you love me, and always will be there To think that you are all I want, might sound a little strange But without the strength you've given me, my wants are out of range Without your love to keep me here, who knows where I would be Probably another country, on the other side of the sea But you never have to worry about trying to keep me here A sweet little wink, or a kiss from your lips, will always keep me near 07/03/90 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

The Feeling Sometimes I get the feeling that I'd like to fly away But my soul seems to get heavier every single day But when I sleep I'm lighter and able then to soar Until the time I have to wake then back to earth some more But then one day, I won't come back forever in the sky And while I'm up there flying I want no one to cry For all the one's I've left behind unable yet to see Of all the birds you might see flying one of them is me Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

The Man Who Sees Two Moons There was a time I can remember I could only see just one But then one day the I.P.D. Decided to have a little fun And they stepped on me and made me see things in another way They thought I robbed Village Pantry and was going to make me pay They stomped on my back and then my neck while hand cuffed upon the ground They stood on me and made me wait until the witness came around It seemed to take forever for her to show up on the scene But when she did she told them all they had done a wrongful thing They had to let me off the ground and then had to let me go But as I did I realized I could see two but why I didn't know I was taken to a doctor and that's when I finally knew My back was snapped and my neck was cracked and that's why I now can see two So if you come to Indianapolis be careful of what you do Or Indianapolis Police Department will give you a brand new view Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

The Only Way I've turned a trick from time to time but time has tricked me in my mind It seems that every time I'm tried my mind has slipped more into time the more I learn from steps I take just set me up for new mistakes but if I take it all in stride and not get taken for a ride I know that soon with working hands I'll be the one who makes the plans and once the rules are finally set and unknown quota's finally met no one will stand there on that day I finally show the only way to really care without a care and never dare the unknown dare is not to live on any day or care for one in any way Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

The Pills Called Beano Theres something to know about the pills called Beano The pill that makes your gas stop that without the right expel Your body will swell until you eventually pop And just keep it in mind the next time your in line If someone is taking this pill explosions of sorts Have been recorded in shorts with vilosities able to kill And when one doesn't know when there ready to go Theres only one thing left to do just let the gas flow And be ready to show that the smell in the air was from you Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

The Reflection of Heartache I saw the reflection of heartache last night, in the mirror on our bedroom wall. He was sitting there waiting in the soft evening light, just waiting for my tears to fall. But how did he know I had hurt you, when he followed me home in the rain. How did he know my world had been shattered, and how does he cause so much pain. When I saw the reflection of heartache, he was waiting for my tears to flow. But how did he know about my broken heart, I really didn't want him to know. Now I saw the reflection of heartache today, in the mirror in our bathroom as well. He was standing there starring in the soft morning light, just watching as my teardrops fell. There should be some way I can fight him, to keep him from coming around. Maybe if once more you'd hold me, and keep me from feeling so down. Or may be I can just confuse him, make him think I'm happy and free. Whatever it takes to repel him, and make him quit following me. Now I see the reflection of heartache, in the mirrors on every wall. And every time I look in his face, he makes one more teardrop fall. But maybe if you could forgive me, and make me feel wanted and loved. The reflection of heartache might leave me alone, and go back to where ever he was. Because I see the reflection of heartache, in the mirrors on every wall. And every time I look in his face, he makes one more teardrop fall. 5/11/89 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Things Box A box for things that you have But you don't know what they're for. Things you can't get rid of Or you'd need them even more. Things you've had forever And are special to your heart. Things you wonder what they're for, Like you wondered from the start. Things you'll probably never need But if you ever did You'd know right where all your things are, At home in this box hid. Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Time Is Your Best Friend So your thirtieth birthday has finally come, and it's made you a little sad. But I want you to know that in thirty years, time has done nothing bad. Your beauty grows with every year, and I can hardly wait. Each day for you to come back home, because you look so great. And each year you just get better, it seems time is your best friend. And I hope I'm with you forever, because your beauty will never end. I guess I'm kind of selfish, wanting you all for my own. But as good as you look, I can definitely promise, I'll always come back home. And I'd have to be pretty stupid, to ever set you free. So if you don't mind, I'll keep you forever, always close to me. 10/2/91 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

To My Dad When a person can teach you justice, and the total way of life. Walk with you in darkness, and still show you the light, He's the kind of person you'd like to be your dad. And that is why I'm saying, I'm proud your the one I have. 8/12/91 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright © 1991 Allen Stephen Winters

Wanting Me Out I've been abused most all of my life, and it won't work anymore. The last time I tried "sticking it out" she ended up being a whore. I love you a lot and need you much more but theres something that I have to say With all of the work that I do around here it seems sometimes you might like to play You think I'm a toy, you can turn off and on but there's something you ought to know If you keep flipping the switch and leaving it on there's nothing to do but to go And now you say your wanting me out, and I guess there's not much I can do But I want you to know, with all of my heart, all I ever wanted was you. So the next time you feel like mistreating do it to somebody else, Cause if I end up having to leave you'll only be hurting yourself. 9/11/91 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright © 1991 Allen Stephen Winters

When I Become Perfect We Know Your Job Is Done A bird pooped me on  a rock I was left there just to rot The sun beamed down then And I started getting thin The Gypsies found my butt to keep me half alive And took me to my mother's where I could learn to strive Four sisters took good care of me and taught me how to cry But then I started growing up and knew I had to try To learn a way to teach myself to be a perfect man And all my life I've worked on it And did the best I can So far I've failed with all their help That everybody shared But most of the time I've really felt That no body really cared But now it seems I've found someone That is better than the rest She's going to show me how to live And how life can be the best But after all this happens And we're running out of fun When I became perfect We know her job is done Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

When It Comes To You Theres times in life that treat you rough It makes you sad and makes you tough You feel as thought no one would care Your dreams are lost, your love is bare But then a ray of hope comes through It kills the doubt and stops the blues Your feeling like you've found a path To help through life and help you laugh It's with a friend you've found the way They give you strength and help you say If not for you, I'd still be lonely So just for you, I'll be yours only Because things will change in peoples minds But love is ever lasting And when it comes to you Christine You have me for the asking Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Whoever's in charge There's not too many things in life, that help you on your way. And the problems that can take your breath, get worse now every day. And when you think about the waste, that's put into the air. You'd think that with expected breaths, might cause you to despair. How can you cut down anything, that makes the air we breath,' You'd think that if you needed air, you'd try to save the trees. But thats okay, go cut them down, just stop and think about. Who's going to tell our children, when all the air runs out. And when they ask who cut them down, or why we never thought. Or did we ever talk to them, or had we ever fought. I hope that you are still around, among the very few. Because I know if I'm alive, I'll send them all to you. Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

Without You Without war there would be no peace Without love there would be no hate Without good feelings there would be no pain Without the sun there would be no rain Without good there would be no bad Without happy there would be no sad Without a beginning there would be no end Without an enemy there would be no friend Without forever there would be no time Without belongings there would be no crime Without bondage there would be no free But without you, there would be no me 1-20-92 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

You All Alone How many times would you leave me, if I let you come back again. How many times would you hurt me, when you know that I am your friend. How many times do you think I can take it, giving you all of my love. Then having you walking away from me, not caring to me what it does. Do you think that I have no feelings, not caring about what you do. Do you not care about how you hurt me, with the things that you put me through. There's been times when I thought it would kill me, not having you here by my side. But after so many rehearsals, the feelings begin to subside. Your right when you say I'm uncaring, that my heart is made out of stone. But remember who did this to me, it was you and you all alone. I'm not saying that I wouldn't help you, or that I'd ever turn you away. But my life is coming together, and I'm planning to keep it that way. So I care and I'll love you forever, and remember you as my best friend. But I can't let you keep on returning, just to walk out of my life again. 10/21/89 Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters

You Could Kill Me Easily No one ever touched me, quite the way you do Thats why when you are hateful it really makes me blue You know you have the power to make my life feel great And with that same strange power you could turn my love to hate Your really turned my world around from what it used to be And all you need to do is ask and I would swim the sea Anything you could ask me you know that I would do Because you make my life so great, just to be with you But just remember darling you can also make me sad And it really doesn't take much, just get a little mad And anything you say to me, really means a lot And sometimes you have hurt me meaning to or not So please be careful baby what you say to me Cause you could kill me easily, by just telling me I'm free Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2005 Allen Stephen Winters

Your Power The way that you make love to me, is always like a dream it feels so good to touch you, that it makes me want to scream Just to have you kiss me, will make my heart pound fast And when you really love on me, I don't know how I last You seem to have the power, that really makes me want you And I'm always thinking of you, no matter what I do And when I fantasize dear, theres room for no one else Your all I've ever wanted, so please keep me for yourself And if you ever need some sex, or just a little kiss Remember your the one I love, and the only one I miss Allen Stephen Winters Copyright ©2004 Allen Stephen Winters
