He makes a hundred knives, none of which has a handle.

What's On My Mind

I can't have this conversation
Without lots of reservations on the line
If there's a way to slip around it
Then I'm bound to get around it one more time
Honey you are so persuasive
But it makes me more evasive when you pry
You can label me elusive
But the facts are inconclusive at this time
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
I've got roses growing over what you'd find
But keep on asking if you're inclined
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
I don't mean to drive you crazy
Comin' off all vague and hazy just because
I don't have an answer for you
I just wouldn't want to bore you if it does
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
I've got roses growing over what you'd find
But keep on asking if you're inclined
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
But keep on asking if you're inclined
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
Because you can't handle what's on my mind

Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or the handle.

Love

Love is a passion
Love is a potion
Love is a poison
Love is easy but
Love is leave to hard
Love is hard

Love makes me deep feeling to heart
Love makes me laugh
Love makes me cry
Love makes me stand
Love makes me fall

Love is all of the above
but love is also
but love is understandable
unstable in my soul

So why can't love
why does not love to his 'Honey'
just be easy
to handle...

but sometime not to be
easy to handle the love

Couplings

All life seems a coupling
two by twos
from Noah's ark
to romancing;

triangles we understand
can intrude-
break couples apart
who reconcile
in the long while;
or not.

But in growing up
all this can be confusing.
How to raise a family
if the married two
cannot handle child
who makes three and a triangle real?

And we know some people cannot
handle triangles;
in three
someone is always left out
since most can only handle two;
three ends in jealousy.

So lonely is one
of the three
bound to be?

Mostly.

Can U Handle It?

[Usher speaking]
What's up baby
I'm so glad I got you here
I'm so in love with you
And I don't ever wanna lose you
I wanna take this to the next level
I hope you ready
Now that you're here
I got somethin' to say baby
I think that you should know
You're givin' the most, suga
So don't worry 'bout the situation
I'd never let you go
[Chorus]
Can you handle it
If I go there baby with you
I can handle it
I can go there baby with you
Oh I hear you talkin' babe
Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it off
We gon' tear it up
Baby can you handle
Wooooo baby
You say all the time
You only want the best of my love
Now I can see that
There's only one way to tear it up
Yeah
I'm willing to tell you
Everything I let stand between us
But what if I tell you too much
What about you babe
Will you tell me
All the freaky things you are
Before I do
Need you to know
If we make it through
Our love will grow
Oooh ho ho
Imagine how amazing things would be
[Chorus]
Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it of
We gon' tear it up
Baby can u handle
I can handle it
I can go there baby with you
Oh I hear you talkin' babe
We gon' set it out
We gon' work it out
Baby can you handle
Oooh hey yeah baby
I fear sometimes in my mind
That you won't wanna stay with my love
Oh baby
If I can be sure
Inside out that you know exactly
The man that comes to see you
I'll go deep as I can
Giving you the rest of my love
But what if I tell you too much
Uhhhhh
So much to explore
So much we have yet to discover
I ask myself
Should I go there
Should I do it
Yeeeaaahhh oooooh
Can I give it to you fully
Can you handle it
[Chorus]
Can you handle it
If I go there baby with you
We gon' lay it out
We gon' tear it up
Baby can u handle
I can handle it
I can go there baby with you
We gon' set it out
We gon' make it out
Baby can you handle
Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it off
We gon' tear it up
Baby can you handle
We gon' set it out
We gon' work it out
Baby can you handle
Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it off
We gon' tear it up
Baby can you handle

Nobody Else

Now as I look around
What do I see
Everybody wants to try to get to know me baby
now it's my porogitive to do what I want to do
and I couldn't see myself babe with no one but you

I don't want nobody else but you
cause no one makes me feel
the way that you do
I don't want nobody else but you
cause no one makes me feel
the way that you do

Now I see you just cant handle
handle my lifestyle
You say I'm do damn crazy
You say I'm to damn wild
You gotta understand
this is just the way I live
baby what you see is exactly what you get
(nobody.. but my my baby..)

I don't want nobody else but you
cause no one makes me feel
the way that you do
I don't want nobody else but you
cause no one makes me feel
the way that you do

Bridge I know the situations shady
You have to understand
you know that I'm the man (baby)
I feel ya bout to drive me crazy
Your acting insecure
when all I want is you (you you baby)

[RAP:]
Well uh you can take my word like in God We Trust
Baby girl they only want me cause I'm on the bus
I don't want a crew I just want you
Solo stereotypes I'm from Watts So I'm ghetto
No more Games or drama
If you live by the nana you die by the nana
Nobody knows how far we'll go
But I do I don't want nobody but you

I don't want nobody else but you
cause no one makes me feel
the way that you do

(Nobody but my baby.. it's only time.. no no one but my baby oh you you...
hold me in your arms...)
I don't want nobody else but you
cause no one makes me feel
the way that you do

One Hundred Thousand Marching

One hundred thousand marching
One hundred thousand men
One hundred thousand heading
To a place and a time when
One hundred thousand dying
One hundred thousand cold
One hundred thousand praying
Forever young and never old
One hundred thousand lives were lost
One hundred thousand felt the pain
One hundred thousand maimed and slaughtered
And yet those armies march again.

A Hundred Times Over

A hundred times over words have flowed through my fingers to the keys
A hundred times over I have released the freedom that is in my mind,
A hundred times over I have become one with my inter most longing,
A hundred times over I have taken a journey to show you my own world.
A hundred times over I have written of pain and life, of sorrow and joy,
A hundred times over I have used my art to show you what's in my mind
A hundred times over again I will show you.
A hundred times over I have cried for those, whose names are untold,
A hundred times over I have showed you their pain.
A hundred times over I have become their connection to you,
A hundred times over I have showed you the beauty of our world,
A hundred times over I have taken you somewhere you may never see,
A hundred times over my words have screamed the horror of darkness,
A hundred times over I have sung to you the beauty of light,
A hundred times over I have taken your hand to lead you to a new place
A hundred time over I have written for those who have no words to write
A hundred times over I have tried to show truth in a world of lies,
A hundred times over I have have tried to show the world's beauty,
A hundred times over again I will lead down these paths,
A hundred times over and over again I will show you reality,
A hundred times over and over again I shall show you my world,
A hundred times over and over again until you have memorised truth,
A hundred times over again until you can repeat what I have told,
A hundred times over again shall I create an art of words, time, of life.
A hundred times over again I shall do this,
A hundred times over again.
A hundred times over.

One Hundred Ripples

One hundred ripples I mark today
One hundred steps along my way

One hundred steps lead to the pond
One hundred trees there do surround

One hundred birds nesting among the trees
One hundred bees filling the air with these

One hundred bees buzzing about in the air
One hundred flowers are pollinating there

One hundred flowers provide the aromas sweet
For one hundred bouquets given to lovers as treat

One hundred lovers walk the winding pathway
One hundred times to find romance there each day

One hundred times they will reach to explore
One hundred pebbles found along the pond shore

One hundred pebbles carry wishes through the air
One hundred ripples on surface creating there

One hundred ripples then spreading out will begin
One hundred waves soon lapping at the shore again

One hundred waves providing the means for
One hundred more pebbles to reach the shore

One hundred pebbles scatter along the pathway
One hundred steps retraced at the end of the day

One hundred small steps... this latest poem was conceived to denote
One hundred little ripples... spreading from 100 poems I wrote

Hard As Love

Well I hear that you were looking out to hunt me down
And I guess you're used to having everything you want
But you know that love can be as hard as sticks and stones
I tell you nothing else can be as hard as love can
Well I hear you've got my number and you want my name
I'm a stream of noughts and crosses in your R.A.M
But you know that love can be as hard as algebra
Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love
Hard as love
Well I hear that you were lookin out to take me home
And I hear that you can handle it and you're not scared
Have you heard about the pictures on my bedroom wall?...
Baby nothin else has ever been as hard as love
Well it makes you hungry and it makes you high
It makes you suffer and it makes you cry
But it's all worthwhile
It makes you humble and it makes you crawl
It makes you tremble and it makes you fall
But it's all worthwhile
It makes you desperate and it makes you dream
It makes you dangerous and it makes you scream
But it's all worthwhile
Just lie back and smile.......
(They will continue to love you
even though the rest of the world hates you...)
It makes you hungry and it makes you high
It makes you suffer and it makes you cry
It makes you panic and it makes you vain
It makes you primitive.....Sick inside
It makes you angry it makes you blind
It makes you guilty and it makes you lie
Tied up and beaten
Spat out and eaten
Suicidal
NOTHIN'S EVER BEEN AS HARD
Well I hear that you were looking out to change my faith
You can bash me with your book of words,
Hammer me down!
But you know that love can be as hard as six inch nails
Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love
Hard as love
Hard as love

Your shop door

I looked at the sign on your shop door
it didnt say open or closed
I tried the handle because I wasnt sure.

Thats why im here inside
Well that and the fact I want some sweats
my dad often goes to the Cafe
and they look at him when ever he eats
he takes a packed lunch
he sits on the seats
there was this one time when he got a punch
it was because he wasnt allowed to buy
they threw him out they give him a black eye
they spat on him and I never knew why.

I looked at the sign on your shop door
it didnt say open or closed
I tried the handle because I wasnt sure.

That cafe he entered was open
and he was not there when the window was broken
he just needed somewhere to sit on a rainy noon
an accent like his?
The roads were his only room.
They're tools? Knives, falks and spoons
His? a shovel, a graft, to dig out the root which so many hold onto.
I pass your shop every day thinking,
'Open or closed to enter I dont know if I want to'.

This Makes Me Hot

When we are together,
And our eyes focus...
Not to blink nonstop.
This makes me hot.

When you are not there,
And the telephone rings.
Your voice brings me joy,
And 'whatever' you say...
Makes my heart begin to sing.
This makes me hot.

And unbearable is the thought,
Of us touching in a naked embrace.
Your face against mine...
And those 'sounds',
Between us made.
Oh...
This makes me hot.

I can not think of an us,
Without you in my view.
I can not be alone for a single moment,
Without imagining us together...
And those things we choose to do.
This makes me hot.

When we are together,
And our eyes focus...
Not to blink nonstop.
This makes me hot.


With the blending of the right ingredients,
To be stirred in one sizzling pot.
And the after taste of this,
Stays on my lips.
You and I know what we've got.
And this...
Heated mix,
Is an appetite I crave and miss.
Without 'you' near...
It seems I can not handle it.

This chemistry between you and me,
Means a lot!
Especially when both of us,
Can not hide what we've got.
Oh yes it is deep.
And extremely hot.

One Hundred Punks

They customised their gear and synchronised
(They)flame out in the streets with flame in their eyes
Guerilla operator ain't heard of cool
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run with London town
Down Wardour Street to the Soho Sound
Don't sleep all week only when they fall down
A hundred Rumble boys and Tumble girls
Protected by steel in a private world
Tomorrow's famous faces advertise today
And the studs on their back say
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp they look like one
If you ain't got the look you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you can trust
There's never no bother and there's no fuss
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
And Jimmy's no.101 knows one day he'll be One
Watch him - watch him Go!
A hundred punks run the leather army
I know whose by my side not at home with TV
Even when I'm down I hear them sing for me
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Check out - One hundred punks rule O.K.

I Gotta Believe

ooh! ooh!(talk about it) 2x
Verse 1:
You know life, has it's ups and downs,
turn your pretty face, into an ugly frown.
Seems that when I fix one thing,
another one comes, clouding up my vision,
And I can feel the sun, i believe that I can do this,
I know that I can win, just as long as I have his love within.
Chorus:
I believe that I can make it, I can make it through the night
I believe that I can walk on, with my head held high,
I believe that I am special in every way,
But in order to have my victory(I gotta believe) Ooh!
(Everbody help me say!!!) (Chorus)
(Take your time and tell them how to make it.)(1st chorus only)
Verse 2:
I have to see myself at the finish line (Talk about it)
I have to visualize that everything will fall in line (Talk about it)
I have to visualize the land while riding through the storm,
I have to trust in my father and open up my heart.
I know that I can do this, I know that I can win,
Just as long as I have his love within.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Ohh! Heartbreak (I can handle that)
And heart pain (I can handle that)
Being let down (I can handle that)
No One's around (I can handle that)
I believe I can (I can handle that)
I receive I can (I can handle that)
And now I'm walking right into my victory!!!!!
(Chorus)2x
