Girl Eyes

It said "Fok Karina" on the wall we were leaning
I get a feeling and she starts to grin
Adjusted my pants as my face turns to red
Foresight is so often blind

Just take the 2 to the 134
But first take the elevator to my floor
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme

Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night

Vodkareening through the hotel door
Guilty is really a choice and a chore
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme and that's when

Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night

I took her hand and then an aspirin in the morning
I took her hand and took her home

It said "Fok Karina" on the wall we were leaning on
Afraid of a common phenomenon again

Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night

Shock And Terror

the psychotic dress the senseless feature
it terrifies every living creature
predictability is wearing thin
groundbreaking practice for the preacher

clowns mortified by my expression
breathing new life into invention
and gagging the maggots with a weary hand
has failed to leave any impression

the shock and terror keeps me sane
the shock and terror keeps me sane
does anybody feel the same?
the shock and terror keeps me sane

up now for seven days and wired
the concept of sleep is way too tired
and I've dialed in a plan to reinstate
your sense of humor has expired

the shock and terror keeps me sane
the shock and terror keeps me sane
does anybody feel the same?
the shock and terror keeps me sane

Who saved Me?

I had a strong presentiment
I would meet with an accident.
If I drove home my usual way
and that my life would end this day.

A flash of foresight granted me?
or merely serendipity.
I do not know but I was sure
I had to take the long detour.

I saw the scene so vividly
A car crushed beneath a fallen tree.
I am not superstitious
but this warning was obvious.

I pulled into the first lay by.
I did not stop to wonder why
I was convinced that it was right
to take a different route that night.

I drove along the way I’d come
and took the scenic route back home.
My wife was in a worried state
when I arrived home safe but late.

She’s heard the news on the T.V.,
a car crushed by a fallen tree
About the time I should have been
driving near that fatal scene.

I had been granted a reprieve
by kindly fate we both believe.
That flash of foresight saved my life
and brought me safe home to my wife.

I can’t explain it, do not try
although sometimes I wonder why
I did not die beneath that tree
as I was meant to: Who saved me.

At Carbis Bay

Out of the night of the sea,
Out of the turbulent night,
A sharp and hurrying wind
Scourges the waters white:
The terror by night.

Out of the doubtful dark,
Out of the night of the land,
What is it breathes and broods,
Hoveringly at hand?
The menace of land.

Out of the night of heaven,
Out of the delicate sky,
Pale and serene the stars
In their silence reply:
The peace of the sky.

The Storm

The clouds turned to gray
The air turned to cold
And I knew by that day
Some evil would unfold.
It arrived without a warning
Along with the pounding rain
And it was gone by the morning
As violently as it came.
But for that night I lived in terror
That night I lived in fright
With every sound I heard
With every flash of light.
Violently came the wind
Terrorizing with no form
Then came the thunder and lightning,
Arriving, was the storm.
Many trees I saw bent
Then God clapped his mighty hand
While many trees were refusing to fall,
But then, a tree didn't stand.
Rushing came the wind
Pounding came the rain
Crashing came the thunder
Quickly, came my pain.
Underneath my bed I hid
From the terror of the storm
And in pain and terror I cried
In horror and pain I moaned.
That night I lived in terror
That night I lived in fright
With every sound I heard
With every flash of light.
And the rain just kept falling
More tears I began to weep
For the wind just kept calling,
Then that night; I fell asleep.
Then morning she finally came
I awoke to the sound of peace and birds
The sound of thunder and rain was gone
Which had awoke my sleeping world.
Then outside towards the sky I stared,
To the clouds God he did call
I saw Gods hand moving the wind
Commanding the rain not to fall.
Then the sun began to shine
So on my knees I fell to pray
Then again, I began to cry
Thanking God; the storm had went away.

Unlawful Business

Unlawful systems result in disaster,
Inside this terror lies a further horror.
Internal stories reside in the head and heart,
To fulfill terror and the letters of the young.
Mighty winds blow for the ache to differ,
Junctions met shall liquify the vile criminals,
For the terror has escaped from entrepreneurs.
These businessmen shine due to old thinking,
But the travel inside is beautiful enough.

The first time I got up in front of an audience was terror, abject terror, which continued for another four or five years. There still is, a little bit.

Evil Darkness

Slowly darkness decends as the sensible run and hide,
because with the dark comes the mist, like a dank chilling tide.

The moon shines weakly through the haze as though very afraid,
in the darkness of the night, a new terror will be concieved and made.

The mist moves slowly but for a moment and then is very still,
in the dim light stands a creature, tall and coldly evil.

No form does it have to touch or kill, no way to pull it down,
but ice cold power does it hold, and in your own terror you will drown.

Now one sensless fool puts aside his fear, he will face this evil foe,
this night he will stand his ground, but the out-come would not be so.

Drawn into this evil he was absorbed but for one dropp of blood,
for there upon the ground that night, a new evil grew from the mud.

Now a new evil has been concieved and together on dark nights will roam,
so when it's dark and dank outside.....be sure to stay at home!

In The Underworld

I have lived in the underworld so long:
How can you, a creature of light,
Without terror understand the song
And unmoved hear what moves in night?

I am a spirit that yours has found,
Strange, undelightful, obscure,
Created by some other God, and bound
In terrible darkness, breathing breath impure.

Creature of light and happiness,
Deeper the darkness was when you,
With your bright terror eddying the distress,
Grazed the dark waves and shivering further flew.
