Once Upon A Christmas

It was a day to remember
The 25th day of December.
It was the season for kindling the fire of hospitality,
In our hearts, the genial flame of charity.

I heard the bells on christmas day
Their old, familiar carols play,
wild and sweet
Their words repeat
of peace on earth,
goodwill to all men.

I was a child again,
but in a different kind of way.
On the hospital bed i lay
causing my family a strain.

It was the christmas which bound my family together,
despite the strain we were under.
It was the christmas of sharing diseases,
and also love in one piece.

In my mind's eye
trying to visualize
which christmas was the most vivid to me,
Then it hit me......
It would forever be this christmas.

Single Is Fair

Single
I am single
Question of double
Does not arise.

I am single
Only single.

Single sun
Single moon
Single earth
Single air
Single sky
Sngle water
Single fire
Single soul
Single body
All are there
All are fair.
Single is single
Single is beautiful
Single is fair.

Alison Gross

O Alison Gross, that lives in yon tow'r,
The ugliest witch in the north countrie,
She trysted me ae day up till her bow'r,
And mony fair speeches she made to me.

She straik'd my head, and she kaim'd my hair,
And she set me down saftly on her knee;
Says--'If ye will be my leman sae true,
Sae mony braw things as I will you gi'e.'

She shaw'd me a mantle of red scarlet,
With gowden flowers and fringes fine;
Says--'If ye will be my leman sae true,
This goodly gift it shall be thine.'

'Awa, awa, ye ugly witch,
Hand far awa, and let me be;
I never will be your leman sae true,
And I wish I were out of your company.'

She neist brocht a sark of the saftest silk,
Weel wrought with pearls about the band;
Says--'If ye will be my ain true love,
This goodly gift ye shall command.'

She show'd me a cup of the good red gowd,
Weel set with jewels sae fair to see;
Says--'If ye will be my leman sae true,
This goodly gift I will you gi'e.'

'Awa, awa, ye ugly witch,
Haud far awa, and let me be;
For I wadna ance kiss your ugly mouth,
For all the gifts that ye cou'd gi'e.'

She's turn'd her richt and round about,
And thrice she blew on a grass-green horn;
And she sware by the moon and the stars aboon,
That she'd gar me rue the day I was born.

Then out has she ta'en a silver wand,
And she turn'd her three times round and round;
She mutter'd sic words, that my strength it fail'd,
And I fell down senseless on the ground.

She turn'd me into an ugly worm,
And gar'd me toddle about the tree;
And aye on ilka Saturday night,
Auld Alison Gross she came to me,

With silver basin, and silver kame,
To kame my headie upon her knee;
But rather than kiss her ugly mouth,
I'd ha'e toddled for ever about the tree.

But as it fell out on last Hallow-e'en,
When the seely court was ridin' by,
The queen lighted down on a gowan bank,
Near by the tree where I wont to lye.

She took me up in her milk-white hand,
And she straik'd me three times o'er her knee;
She chang'd me again to my ain proper shape,
And nae mair do I toddle about the tree.

A Saxon Song

Tools with the comely names,
Mattock and scythe and spade,
Couth and bitter as flames,
Clean, and bowed in the blade,--
A man and his tools make a man and his trade.

Breadth of the English shires,
Hummock and kame and mead,
Tang of the reeking byres,
Land of the English breed,--
A man and his land make a man and his creed.

Leisurely flocks and herds,
Cool-eyed cattle that come
Mildly to wonted words,
Swine that in orchards roam,--
A man and his beasts make a man and his home.

Children sturdy and flaxen
Shouting in brotherly strife,
Like the land they are Saxon,
Sons of a man and his wife,--
For a man and his loves make a man and his life.

Kena kana (Kosli poem)

Kenke jimi ho aaru karmi kana

Khaemi kana aaru rahemi kena
Kie achhe kena ho Kana thik kana bhul
Kahemi kentakari aaru janba kie
Han baluchha ki nein.

Aaru helebi kana kariparbu ken ketebele.


Where what

Where shall I go
What shall I do
What shall I get from where
Where is my share.

Who is where
Who is there to say
Right and wrong
And how he will say
Who knows yes or noes.

What has happened
What are you doing
Who recognized what
Lady finger is there
In brinjal tree
Who has seen the dance
Who has seen the pet dog
In the early morning.

Where is the path
To go out
I am in search of time
To say O so and so
What are you doing and
What shall you do me
See I am here as before.

The Lass of Lochroyan

'O WHA will shoe my bonny foot?
   And wha will glove my hand?
And wha will bind my middle jimp
   Wi' a lang, lang linen band?

'O wha will kame my yellow hair,
   With a haw bayberry kame?
And wha will be my babe's father
   Till Gregory come hame?'

'They father, he will shoe thy foot,
   Thy brother will glove thy hand,
Thy mither will bind thy middle jimp
   Wi' a lang, lang linen band.

'Thy sister will kame thy yellow hair,
   Wi' a haw bayberry kame;
The Almighty will be thy babe's father
   Till Gregory come hame.'

'And wha will build a bonny ship,
   And set it on the sea?
For I will go to seek my love,
   My ain love Gregory.'

Up then spak her father dear,
   A wafu' man was he;
'And I will build a bonny ship,
   And set her on the sea.

'And I will build a bonny ship,
   And set her on the sea,
And ye sal gae and seek your love,
   Your ain love Gregory.'

Then he 's gart build a bonny ship,
   And set it on the sea,
Wi' four-and-twenty mariners,
   To bear her company.

O he 's gart build a bonny ship,
   To sail on the salt sea;
The mast was o' the beaten gold,
   The sails o' cramoisie.

The sides were o' the gude stout aik,
   The deck o' mountain pine,
The anchor o' the silver shene,
   The ropes o' silken twine.

She hadna sail'd but twenty leagues,
   But twenty leagues and three,
When she met wi' a rank reiver,
   And a' his companie.

'Now are ye Queen of Heaven hie,
   Come to pardon a' our sin?
Or are ye Mary Magdalane,
   Was born at Bethlam?'

'I'm no the Queen of Heaven hie,
   Come to pardon ye your sin,
Nor am I Mary Magdalane,
   Was born in Bethlam.

'But I'm the lass of Lochroyan,
   That 's sailing on the sea
To see if I can find my love,
   My ain love Gregory.'

'O see na ye yon bonny bower?
   It 's a' covered owre wi' tin;
When thou hast sail'd it round about,
   Lord Gregory is within.'

And when she saw the stately tower,
   Shining both clear and bright,
Whilk stood aboon the jawing wave,
   Built on a rock of height,

Says, 'Row the boat, my mariners,
   And bring me to the land,
For yonder I see my love's castle,
   Close by the salt sea strand.'

She sail'd it round, and sail'd it round,
   And loud and loud cried she,
'Now break, now break your fairy charms,
   And set my true-love free.'

She 's ta'en her young son in her arms,
   And to the door she 's gane,
And long she knock'd, and sair she ca'd.
   But answer got she nane.

'O open, open, Gregory!
   O open! if ye be within;
For here 's the lass of Lochroyan,
   Come far fra kith and kin.

'O open the door, Lord Gregory!
   O open and let me in!
The wind blows loud and cauld, Gregory,
   The rain drops fra my chin.

'The shoe is frozen to my foot,
   The glove unto my hand,
The wet drops fra my yellow hair,
   Na langer dow I stand.'

O up then spak his ill mither,
   --An ill death may she die!
'Ye're no the lass of Lochroyan,
   She 's far out-owre the sea.

'Awa', awa', ye ill woman,
   Ye're no come here for gude;
Ye're but some witch or wil' warlock,
   Or mermaid o' the flood.'

'I am neither witch nor wil' warlock,
   Nor mermaid o' the sea,
But I am Annie of Lochroyan,
   O open the door to me!'

'Gin ye be Annie of Lochroyan,
   As I trow thou binna she,
Now tell me of some love-tokens
   That pass'd 'tween thee and me.'

'O dinna ye mind, love Gregory,
   As we sat at the wine,
We changed the rings frae our fingers?
   And I can shew thee thine.

'O yours was gude, and gude enough,
   But ay the best was mine,
For yours was o' the gude red gowd,
   But mine o' the diamond fine.

'Yours was o' the gude red gowd,
   Mine o' the diamond fine;
Mine was o' the purest troth,
   But thine was false within.'

'If ye be the lass of Lochroyan,
   As I kenna thou be,
Tell me some mair o' the love-tokens
   Pass'd between thee and me.'

'And dinna ye mind, love Gregory!
   As we sat on the hill,
Thou twin'd me o' my maidenheid,
   Right sair against my will?

'Now open the door, love Gregory!
   Open the door! I pray;
For thy young son is in my arms,
   And will be dead ere day.'

'Ye lie, ye lie, ye ill woman,
   So loud I hear ye lie;
For Annie of the Lochroyan
   Is far out-owre the sea.'

Fair Annie turn'd her round about:
   'Weel, sine that it be sae,
May ne'er woman that has borne a son
   Hae a heart sae fu' o' wae!

'Tak down, tak down that mast o' gowd,
   Set up a mast of tree;
It disna become a forsaken lady
   To sail sae royallie.'

When the cock has crawn, and the day did dawn,
   And the sun began to peep,
Up than raise Lord Gregory,
   And sair, sair did he weep.

'O I hae dream'd a dream, mither,
   I wish it may bring good!
That the bonny lass of Lochroyan
   At my bower window stood.

'O I hae dream'd a dream, mither,
   The thought o't gars me greet!
That fair Annie of Lochroyan
   Lay dead at my bed-feet.'

'Gin it be for Annie of Lochroyan
   That ye mak a' this mane,
She stood last night at your bower-door,
   But I hae sent her hame.'

'O wae betide ye, ill woman,
   An ill death may ye die!
That wadna open the door yoursell
   Nor yet wad waken me.'

O he 's gane down to yon shore-side,
   As fast as he could dree,
And there he saw fair Annie's bark
   A rowing owre the sea.

'O Annie, Annie,' loud he cried,
   'O Annie, O Annie, bide!'
But ay the mair he cried 'Annie,'
   The braider grew the tide.

'O Annie, Annie, dear Annie,
   Dear Annie, speak to me!'
But ay the louder he gan call,
   The louder roar'd the sea.

The wind blew loud, the waves rose hie
   And dash'd the boat on shore;
Fair Annie's corpse was in the faem,
   The babe rose never more.

Lord Gregory tore his gowden locks
   And made a wafu' moan;
Fair Annie's corpse lay at his feet,
   His bonny son was gone.

'O cherry, cherry was her cheek,
   And gowden was her hair,
And coral, coral was her lips,
   Nane might with her compare.'

Then first he kiss'd her pale, pale cheek,
   And syne he kiss'd her chin,
And syne he kiss'd her wane, wane lips,
   There was na breath within.

'O wae betide my ill mither,
   An ill death may she die!
She turn'd my true-love frae my door,
   Who cam so far to me.

'O wae betide my ill mither,
   An ill death may she die!
She has no been the deid o' ane,
   But she 's been the deid of three.'

Then he 's ta'en out a little dart,
   Hung low down by his gore,
He thrust it through and through his heart,
   And words spak never more.

Not Fair

Its not fair how people get treated
whether its race, religion, looks, style
they still get treated unequal
people are the same its not fair
put downs, hate crimes, etc.
its not fair people are people
well at least you would think
a single person feels the pain on others
so why do people do it?
its not fair
nothings fair

Single Day

Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not in his thoughts
Not a single day goes by..........
Where his heart does not feel
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not want to reach out
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he dreams of his love for her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not dream of kissing her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not dream of holding her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not ask. Why?
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not his first thought on waking.
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not his last thought before sleeping.
Not a single day goes by..........

Waly, Waly

O waly, waly, up the bank,
O waly, waly, down the brae.
And waly, waly, yon burn side,
Where I and my love wont to gae.
I leaned my back unto an aik,
An' thocht it was a trustie tree,
But first it bow'd and syne it brak,
Sae my true love did lichtly me.

O waly, waly, but love is bonnie
A little time while it is new,
But when it's auld it waxes cauld,
And fades away like morning dew.
O wherefore should I busk my head,
O wherefore should I kame my hair,
For my true love has me forsook,
And says he'll never love me mair.

Now Arthur's Seat shall be my bed,
The sheets shall ne'er be pressed by me,
St. Anton's well shall be my drink,
Since my true love has forsaken me.
Martinmas wind, when wilt thou blaw,
And shake the green leaves off the tree!
O gentle Death, when wilt thou come?
For of my life I am wearie!

'Tis not the frost that freezes fell,
Nor blawing snaw's inclemencie,
'Tis not sic cauld that makes me cry,
But my love's heart's grown cauld to me.
When we came in by Glasgow toun
We were a comely sicht to see;
My love was clad in the black velvet,
And I mysel in cramasie.

But had I wist before I kist
That love had been sae ill to win,
I'd locked my heart in a case of gold,
And pinned it wi' a siller pin.
Oh, oh! if my young babe were born,
And set upon the nurse's knee;
And I myself were dead and gane,
And the green grass growing over me!

A Single Black Rose

A single Black Rose to turn the tide
A single Black Rose to make one die
A single Black Rose to ensnare the soul
A single Black Rose to widen that hole

A single Black Rose to melt the heart
A single Black Rose to force a start
A single Black Rose to entwine the bodies
A single Black Rose to dictate the deaths of these

A single Black Rose to lie upon her breast
A single Black Rose to stop the tears from soaking his vest
A single Black Rose to mourn this memory
A single Black Rose to become a plot in this cemetery

A single Black Rose to take a life
A single Black Rose to end his strife.

O waly waly up the bank,
And waly waly down the brae,
And waly waly yon burn-side
Where I and my Love wont to gae!

But first it bow'd, and syne it brak,

O waly waly, but love be bonny
A little time while it is new;
But when 'tis auld, it waxeth cauld
And fades awa' like morning dew.
O wherefore should I busk my head?
Or wherefore should I kame my hair?
For my true Love has me forsook,
And says he'll never lo'e me mair.

Now Arthur-seat sall be my bed,
The sheets shall ne'er be prest by me,
Saint Anton's well sall be my drink,
Since my true Love has forsaken me.
Marti'mas wind, when wilt thou blaw
And shake the green leaves aff the tree?
O gentle Death, when wilt thou come?
For of my life I am wearïe.

'Tis not the frost that freezes fell,
Nor blawing snaw's inclemencie—
'Tis not sic cauld that makes me cry,
But my Love's heart grown cauld to me.
When we came in by Glasgow town

Waly, Waly, Love Be Bonny. A Scottish Song

O waly, waly up the bank,
And waly, waly down the brae,
And waly, waly yon burn side,
Where I and my love wer wont to gae.
I leant my back unto an aik,
I thought it was a trusty tree;

O waly, waly, gin love be bonny,
A little time while it is new;
But when its auld, it waxeth cauld,
And fades awa' like morning dew.
O wherefore shuld I busk my head?
Or wherefore shuld I kame my hair?
For my true love has me forsook,
And says he'll never loe me mair.

Now Arthur-Seat sall be my bed,
The sheets shall neir be fyl'd by me:
Saint Anton's well sall be my drink,
Since my true love has forsaken me.
Marti'mas wind, when wilt thou blaw,
And shake the green leaves aff the tree?
O gentle death, whan wilt thou cum?
For of my life I am wearie.

Tis not the frost that freezes fell,
Nor blawing snaws inclemencie;
'Tis not sic cauld that makes me cry,
But my loves heart grown cauld to me.
Whan we came in by Glasgowe town,
We were a comely sight to see;
My love was clad in black velvet,
And I my sell in cramasie.

But had I wist, before I kisst,
That love had been sae ill to win,
I had lockt my heart in a case of gowd,
And pinned it with a siller pin.
And, oh! if my young babe were born,
And set upon the nurses knee,
And I my sell were dead and gane!
For a maid again Ise never be.

And the green grass growing over me!

A Black Single Rose.

A single black rose.
A single black rose to carry the load,
A single black rose to turn the road,
A single black rose to touch the soul,
A single black rose to widen your hole,
A single black rose to melt your heart,
A single black rose to force a start,
A single black rose to make you cry,
A single black rose to make you dry,
A single black rose to help you climb,
A single black rose to make you lie,
A single black rose to take a life,
A single black rose to take away strife.

But when 'tis auld it waxeth cauld,
   And fades awa' like morning dew.
O wherefore should I busk my heid,
   Or wherefore should I kame my hair?
For my true Love has me forsook,
   And says he'll never lo'e me mair.

Now Arthur's Seat sall be my bed,
   The sheets sall ne'er be 'filed by me;
Saint Anton's well sall be my drink;
   Since my true Love has forsaken me.
Marti'mas wind, when wilt thou blaw,
   And shake the green leaves aff the tree?
O gentle Death, when wilt thou come?
   For of my life I am wearìe.

'Tis not the frost, that freezes fell,
   Nor blawing snaw's inclemencie,
'Tis not sic cauld that makes me cry;
   But my Love's heart grown cauld to me.
When we cam in by Glasgow toun,
   We were a comely sicht to see;
My Love was clad in the black velvet,
   And I mysel in cramasie.

But had I wist, before I kist,
   That love had been sae ill to win,
I had lock'd my heart in a case o' gowd,
   And pinn'd it wi' a siller pin.
And O! if my young babe were born,
   And set upon the nurse's knee;
And I mysel were dead and gane,
   And the green grass growing over me!

If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America... that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers and poison the fair fruits of freedom.

Sexy Single

All my life I've tried to find
A love to give me piece of mind
And I, I looked into your eyes
Captivated by your wicked smile
I was mesmerized there
for a while or two
But what's a girl gonna do?
Oh I lay in my bed
with your stupid face in my head
Just another piece in my life
Now I'm a sexy single
Sexy single that's OK
I'm living on my own
And I'm feeling the way I do
Like a sexy single
Sexy single
Birds of a feather
We flock together
Like leaves on a tree
We were meant to be in love
I guess it was just a dream
Oh I lay in my bed
with your stupid face in my head
Just another piece in my life
Sexy single
Sexy single that's OK
I'm living on my own in my special way
Like a sexy single
Sexy single
I'm sexy single
Sexy single
Sexy single
I said I'm living on my own
And feeling the way I do
When I'm not with you
I said I'm sexy single
That's OK
Living on my own
And feeling the way I do
I said when I'm not with you
Sexy single that's OK
I'm living on my own in my special way
Like a sexy single
Sexy single
