We must understand the Cosmos as it is and not confuse how it is with how we wish it to be.

Read Me, You'll See
It's tough…
When other people get in the way
Of perfectly clear communication
And confuse the heck out of you
When you were doing so well
Saying what you needed to say
Even though
Sometimes
What you are trying to convey
Is limited
By the limits of the words at your disposal
It can feel stifling
Like, you wish you can say so much more
I guess
As long as you can somehow
Express
Something
It's better than nothing
But
Other people
They get in the way
So,
Then
I wonder
Do you still understand me
Can you recognize my message
When it's surrounded by so many others
I have to admit
Sometimes I'm left confused
I don't always understand
What you are tying to say
All those other voices
All those other titles
All those other ideas
They sure do get in the way
And
I have to say
I don't see myself as obtuse
Though
It took me a while
To recognize you
But,
I'm admitting I am a bit confused
It's just tough
When other people get in the way
And, dilute, confuse,
Add to without meaning to
What I'm trying to convey.

A Flower To Auroville Mother-37
Orange cosmos, Yellow cosmos
(Kosmos, Cosmos sulphureus)
As scorching stress melancholizing
Behold, the mercy of the blesser Sun
Showering cool florets tranquilizing
Cosmic Kosmos orange, yellow to stun
And yes, I agree to the eased heart
A wallow in dulcet bright lights
Cousins wild, lush and blushy art
Darting along with in florescence
Slender stemmed leafing pinnate
Waltzing and humming appraising
Birds and butterflies to affiliate
Friendly cosmos no doubt surprising

Scavenger
The cosmos is with me
And I am in the cosmos.
There is no body
besides me here.
I am scattered
and you the scavenger
with much silent
to make clear
asking my
name and address
which is not
mine at all.

Sex in pain
Keeps me alive
You cant confuse yourself
They make you know what else
You cant fake it
You will never make it
You cant confuse yourself
They make you know what else
You cant fake it
You will never make it
Yeah
Youre to blame
For everything
Sex in pain
Keeps moving me
Keeps me
You cant confuse yourself
They make you know what else
You cant fake it
You will never make it
You cant confuse yourself
They make you know what else
You cant fake it
You will never make it
Yeah

Philosophy
I am sorry...
You have no lullabys to sing to me,
In a breath sweetened gingerly...
With peppermint schnapps.
I am not numb by your rhythmic indecisions.
Nor stunned by your absence to call me by first name.
I understand how my appearance may confuse you!
But let my words confuse you not.
I am not a Huxtable.
Nor does my last name begin with 'X'!
I am proud of my past...
And how I arrived to look you in the face!
Trust me...
I have been called everything conceivable,
One can call another human being!
In a place affectionately known as 'the brickyard'
Enduring 'many' years of...'reality touches! '
I was not raised to worhip images of you.
And no empathy or apology do I extend!
So I hope you and I will understand...
I do not view you as a competitor,
Nor do I have thoughts...
As to which one of us is a better man!
I hope that is comprehended?
I have a different purpose here...
In the event you thought I sought your approval!
None of that nonsense has ever been in my head!
Maybe you'd like to share your philosophy with the others?
I've been working on my dreams too long...
And not in one of them did you appear.
I need no missionary to save me here!
I hope that's clear?
And we can choose to work together...
Or not be near!
I have no desire for any enforcements,
To pretend to endear.

I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos. Look at the sun. If there is no sun, then we cannot exist. So nature is my god. To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals.

Pure
Don't you bring me down
Kick me when I'm down
Put me away again
Every now and then
Your bottle spinning my fate
As I hold my breath
And so you don't want any part of this now
Where did it go so wrong
I guess I'm finally finding out
It's got me tripping now
The little things, everywhere I go
It's such a shame
Why you held on, so long
Why don't you confuse me a little more?
Confuse me
And I never thought that you
Who would believe that I wasn't good enough?
Those things I never thought you'd do
You got the best of me
You got the best of me when you said you didn't love me anymore
And I know, this will be the last time
You've got me running in circles like a freak
So why don't you try to, kick me when I'm down
I'm down, all the way down
Put me away again
Every now and then
Your bottle spinning my fate
While I hold my breath
Don't sweat the lies that you say I control
Confuse me a little more
[Confuse me]
And I never thought that you
Who would believe that I wasn't good enough?
Those things I never thought you'd do
You got the best of me
You and all your secrets don't need me
You got the best of me when you said you didn't love me anymore
And I know this will be the last time
You've got me, running in circles like a freak
So why don't you try to, kick me when I'm down
I'm down
So when you say you've let me go, let me go
'Cause you didn't care about this, sorry you
I guess you'll be alright
Now that you've got things to go your way
How could you be like this?
This is the last time but you don't hear me though
You got the best of me, when you said you didn't love me anymore
And I know, this will be the last time
You've got me running in circles like a freak
So why don't you try to, kick me when I'm down
I don't understand the way
That you're thinking, thinking, thinking, Andrea
Who could believe that I wasn't good enough?
Who could believe that I wasn't good enough?
Confuse me a little more
Who could believe that I wasn't good enough?
Who could believe that I wasn't good enough?

The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.

Confused
You confuse me
You used to take my breath away
Every time you siad hey
Now you confuse me
My head spins
I don't know where you been
But now I know what to do
And it has nothing to do with you
So when you call me next time
Just keep of mind You're' done confusing me

Bread & Blood
(graham russell)
Im not afraid of losing you or saying good-bye
If someone needs you more than me, I will understand why
Id never stand between someone whos holding your heart
But I cant let a superstition tear us apart
Who has the right to speak fire from above
If heaven is away from you, that is the place I will give up
For falling in love cant be taking these lips from the cup
Dont fill her mind with bread and blood
Dont confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love thats thicker than all bread and blood
Im not afraid to face the truth of what I believe
If love was never meant to choose, it could never succeed
And we may always stand alone in everyones sight
And be the judge unto ourselves between wrong and right
Who puts a price on eternitys sin
Who throws the first stone shall search for perfection again
For you are the reason that pleasure was taken from the pain
Dont fill her mind with bread and blood
Dont confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love thats thicker than all bread and blood
I wont see you cry, should it make you cry
Dont fill her mind with bread and blood
Dont confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love thats thicker than all bread and blood
Dont fill her mind with bread and blood
Dont confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love thats thicker than all bread and blood

We inhabit a universe where atoms are made in the centers of stars; where each second a thousand suns are born; where life is sparked by sunlight and lightning in the airs and waters of youthful planets; where the raw material for biological evolution is sometimes made by the explosion of a star halfway across the Milky Way; where a thing as beautiful as a galaxy is formed a hundred billion times - a Cosmos of quasars and quarks, snowflakes and fireflies, where there may be black holes and other universe and extraterrestrial civilizations whose radio messages are at this moment reaching the Earth. How pallid by comparison are the pretensions of superstition and pseudoscience; how important it is for us to pursue and understand science, that characteristically human endeavor.

They don't understand
They don't understand,
What its like to be me.
They don't understand,
Why school is hard for me.
They don't understand,
Why I'm so skinny.
They don't understand,
Why I have no friends.
They don't understand,
What I need.
They don't understand,
Why I lie.
They don't understand,
Why life is hard.

Why they don't except me.

Fear
If you were here,
Hopes, dreams, ambitions, faith would disappear,
Drowned in your eyes; and I should touch your hand,
Forgetting all that now I understand.
For you confuse my life with memories
Of unrememberable ecstasies
Which were, and are not, and can never be; . . .
Ah! keep the whole earth between you and me.

Please Don't Nibble 'There
Nothing that is seen,
Is separated from me.
My mind and heart,
Sometimes do not agree.
And I can be touched,
To reveal sensitivity.
But do not confuse...
Anything you see,
Can be manipulated easily.
No.
Don't go 'there'.
Who told you...
'There',
You would find me defenseless.
Please don't...
Nibble 'there',
On my ear!
Please...
Don't.
Please...
Don't .
Pleasure,
Me...
Please?
You are too young,
To understand...
What
You
Are...
Doing!

Here Only Image Plays Like Puppet!
Diving deep into own,
eyes learn to look into far,
beyond the horizon into cosmos,
matter from several galaxies,
light from several stars,
filtered by earth and air
keep you alive here,
several celestial bodies,
working silently to fill breath in your life,
look your form is in cosmos,
here only image plays like puppet,
for the divine unknown, working!

I have not obey you
I have not obey your rules
I want to go beyond you

The cosmos has its own rules
I am a part of cosmos

I have my own rules.
Left me where I am
I will find my own clue
I am deep sky blue.
