The one man who should never attempt an explanation of a poem is its author. If the poem can be improved by it's author's explanations it never should have been published, and if the poem cannot be improved by its author's explanations the explanations are scarcely worth reading.

And the actual achievements of biology are explanations in terms of mechanisms founded on physics and chemistry, which is not the same thing as explanations in terms of physics and chemistry.

Out Of Routine
Out of routine, the explanations you have
You're still loathe to give them
All because you've phrased it in a way
So the explanations you have
The words don't go away
If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted
To deny everything I say is not uncommon
The only thing that's definitely forgotten
Is what you wanted
And what you really needed
But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone
Out of routine but it's not as bad as you think
It's only chance you're looking for
Still in routine and the explanations you have
The ideas go between
If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted
If you reply to everything I say so it's not uncommon
The only thing that's definitely forgotten
Is what you wanted
And what you really needed
But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone
And it's already gone and nothing can take it back
It's already gone and nothing can take it from being gone

Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all others are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself.

Love's Truth
My will is free,
The cost is to another,
Benefit to self.
My love is free.
The cost is to myself,
Benefit to many.
One has something to prove.
One proves something.
So which will I prove?
I can choose only one.
Will is proven at the cost of love.
Love is proven at the cost of will.
True will proves my truth to self.
True love proves my truth to all.
To which am I true?

BS'ing
No I don't know what you are saying.
And I'm not staying...
So spare your explanations.
No I could care less not more...
How you deliver what you say with sensation.
Do we have to go through this,
Again?
You and I are not matches that fit!
We're are not like gloves on hands,
Or two hands in a mit!
How many times must we go through,
This shit-uation?
We're not peas in a pod,
Or stained piss on a toilet!
None of the above for me and you suits!
Cough up and get that madness out!
Life with you brewing in doubt,
Is not what I am about!
No I don't know what you are saying.
And I could care less!
I'm not accepting another explanation...
Of how you took an ant hill,
A bouldering mountain of a mess!
Those are your confessions.
When those clouds clear from your head.
I want you to remember,
These last words to you said...
'Your love for me has long been dead!
What makes you think
I am on the brink and desperate,
To screw you without feeling on your bed? '
No I don't know what you are saying.
And I'm not staying...
So spare your explanations.
How many times must we go through,
This BS'ing shit-uations?

The Vow
The test of the vow comes,
In the latter, not the former.
For better, richer and in health are all easy.
For worse, for poorer and in sickness,
Is the true test.
Love, honor & cherish?
Myself, or the one?
To whom was the vow made?
To the one in front of God,
Or to God in front of the one?
Love will never be complete,
If we do not finish what we started.
We fall in and out of love.
Love, as a feeling.
Does the one pick you up when you fall?
To carry you through,
As was promised in the first place.
Like innocence and guilt,
Love must also be proven true.
Not by words, decision or mind.
All can be changed.
But by spirit, patience and conviction.
All enduring to the end.
The end of ourselves in the spiritual.
What we choose to live by.
What we choose to uphold.
Was really the promise we made at the start.
It is really the test of another.
That proves the test of our love,
To the one that created it.
Which is what proves us to be true.

No Explanations To Extend
I am 'where' I am,
With no explanations to extend.
On a path that has led me,
To twist and turn and often bend.
And in the middle of events,
Opening my eyes wide to them.
I am,
Who I am.
And this I have no intention to defend.
A growth imposed owes to no one,
Reason or rhyme that can be imagined.
Or definitions of it in ever changing times.
I am 'where' I am,
With no explanations to extend.
On a path that has led me,
To twist and turn and often bend.
And going through those experiences,
As this has happened the way it has...
Is only to myself comprehended.

You Dont Have To Say Youre Sorry
You dont have to say youre sorry
We all make mistakes, Ive made my share, oh
You dont have to say youre sorry
I dont need those words to know you care
Explanations arent required even though you think you should
I dont need to know the reasons, no, not even if theyre good
You dont have to say youre sorry, but I sure do wish you would
You dont have to say youre sorry
And thats a silly game that children play, oh
You dont have to say youre sorry, no
No, you shouldnt have to live that way
You dont have to say youre sorry
Cause were both too old its true
Well they say when you love someone, forgiveness is the rule
You dont have to say youre sorry, but I sure do wish you would
Explanations arent required, even though you think you should
I dont need to know your reasons
No, not even if theyre good
You dont have to say youre sorry
But I sure do wish you would, I wish you would

Girl From Pachacamac
i wish i'd had the time to look into your eyes
and quietly say the words, the words that you'd expect
i wish i'd touched your face and you would hold my hand
then tears were on our guard and silence was our friend
and we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
the struggle and the strife and the black and white
and all the letters that we wrote
would be printed out in gold
in our memories to behold
without explanations
to be told...
i dreamt i had the time to listen what you'd say
and what you'd say was true and we could start anew
i saw u bachstage in that chair
dressed up in lies but oh so fair
and then i took you by the hand and off we went
and we just drank to quench our thirst
that never dies and always burns
deep in the night out on the streets
i'd like to kiss you too but it wouldn't do
and all the poems that we wrote
would be printed out in gold
in our memories to behold
without explanations
to be told...
and we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
the struggle and the strife and the black and white
and all the letters that we wrote
would be printed out in gold
in our memory to behold without explanations...
and we just drink to quench our thirst
that never dies and always burns
deep in the night out on the streets
i'd like to kiss you too without explanations..
to be told..

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

What the eyes dont see
to the eyes, the earth
was once flat until
space proves to us
that it's round and
floating on air
to the eyes, death
is the end of things
until perhaps one day
space again proves
it adds colours to roots
and roundness of existence
the realm opens itself
to us like a bloom

Parallels
(squire)
When youve tried most everything and nothings taking you higher.
When you come to realize, youve been playing with fire.
Hear me when I say to you, its really down to your heart.
Its the beginning of a new love in sight.
Youve got the way to make it all happen.
Set it spinning turning roundabout.
Create a new dimension.
When we are winning we can stop and shout
Making love towards perfection.
Ive been all around the world and seen so many faces.
Young and old a story told, filling in my spaces.
Now without a trce of doubt I feel it every hour.
Its the beginning of a new love inside.
Could be an ever opening flower.
No hesitation when were all about
To build a shining tower.
No explanations, need to work it out.
You know weve got the power.
Parallel our sights.
And we will find, that we, we need, to be, where we, belong.
Parallel our heights
Display our rights, and wrongs, and always keep it--strong.
Its the beginning of a new love in sight.
Could be an ever opening flower.
No explanations, need to work it out.
You know weve got the power.
Its the beginning of a new love inside.
Youve got the way to make it all happen.
Set it spinning turning roundabout.
Create a new dimension.
When we are winning we can stop and shout
Making love towards perfection.

Next Broken Heart
(2/16/12)
You may not hear the sounds
But they are coming in leaps and bounds.
Hearts being broken in two
And no one knows just what to do.
In this world of uncertainties
No one knows just what they'll be.
Searching for love - yet wanting to play the field
When true love comes, they won't know how to feel.
Love is not a physical attraction
But an emotional reaction.
So many explanations for the feelings of love
And all are sent from the heavens above.
Now you may think that you know it all
And on the wayside these words will fall.
But will you be the next heart broken in two?
THAT MY FRIEND DEPENDS ON YOU!
