Listening and thinking
A good speaker is a bad listener.
A batsman is keen in watching.
A bowler is keen in throwing.
The bad listener hardly learns.
The good listener hardly thinks.

Sometimes I wish I could walk up to my music for the first time, as if I had never heard it before. Being so inescapably a part of it, I’ll never know what the listener gets, what the listener feels, and that’s too bad.

When I was speaking about communicating, I meant that the listener - we have to reach the listener; otherwise, of course, you're writing the piece, as I say, only for the satisfaction of seeing it on the paper for yourself, and then it ends right there.

Now, what we are not talking about, what you're really coming to, is what compromises one makes so that the listener understands somewhat of what you're doing, what you're trying to express.

Pleasantries
When you meet one
You must greet
Saying good morning.
When you part
You must treat
Saying good night.
In between, you say
“How do you do? ’
The words are lifeless.
You use them heartless.
The listener knows it.
If you don’t use
The listener is hurt.
Pleasantries are ghosts
Offending in their absence.

A Poem For A Single Listener
A POEM FOR A SINGLE LISTENER
A poem for a single listener
Whose name is unknown
Whose face is unseen
But who hears
The beauty
In the world
And reads with me
The poem
Of our no longer
Being alone.

I never fixed a story. I didn't make judgments, I let the listener make judgments. When I got to the end of the story, if it had a moral, I let the listener find it.

The latest one stays
I played for long a concord
But ended with a discord.
The listener turned inimical.
I played quite long a discord
But ended with a concord.
The listener was not inimical.
Stays there on a blackboard
What is written latest,
The rest gone to dust.

Depression Makes Me
depression makes me feel pain
depression makes me stupid
depression makes me feel low
depression makes me mad
depression makes me sad
depression makes me forget the world
depression makes me tensed
depression makes me lose self control
depression makes me hate everyone
depression makes me think over and over
depression makes me feel lonely
depression makes me think wild
depression makes me worthless
depression makes me sick
what does depression give me?
when it runs high…
it will make me die - rest in peace…

All The Glorious Things Of Splendor
She is mine but yet I don’t own her
She makes my life so much better
Life is no longer bitter but sweeter
For all questions she is the answer
Gray skies are now bluer
The moon shines for me brighter
She makes my heart flutter
My existence is now fuller
I adore her laughter
All my burdens seem lighter
She taste of the sweetest nectar
All fruits now are riper
I have started a new chapter
No more stress for she makes me calmer
To heaven she draws me closer
I am truly happier
I have found my four-leaf clover
The breeze now blows cooler
I will love her forever
Into wedlock we shall enter
She is full of wonder
She is a good listener
She is the greatest lover
She is truly a keeper
She is sweeter than sugar
She is hotter than summer
She is my teacher
She is a treasure
She makes me so much richer
She makes me stronger
She keeps me warmer
She makes me smarter
She makes me feel so much younger
She has so much to offer
Although her heart has been broken prior
No woman could ever be nicer
To get to her I’d cross the widest river
I am caught up in her rapture
Each moment spent I savor
With her I feel safer
I am like clay and she the sculpture
In the light her eyes shimmer
My princess with the golden slipper
My rough edges now smoother
Of my story, she is the writer
No love could ever be truer
I have an appointment at the alter
I will love her here and ever after
My beautiful precious flower
No longer the selfish loner
She sparkles like sapphire
I am the flame and her the fire

The Celibate
as expected the celibate
has written a poem about a desert
the listener junks it
for it makes her feel thirst and gives
a hint on death
the poem is revised
speaking now about the princess bathing
in the oasis
singing
attracting the black bird perched on
the date palm
she rises from the water
her breasts supple to the wind
she is waiting for the horse riding Bedouin
to carry her
to his kingdom
the reader is overjoyed in this
and sheds
the tears of joy

Its Your Move
Artist(Band):98 Mute
(Print the Lyrics)
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever makes you tick
Whatever makes the days that you pass through
Seem worth it
Whatever makes you feel like you're in place
Whatever makes your burdens lose their weight
Whatever makes you feel like you belong
Whatever makes you strong
It's up to you
Do whatever you want to do
Just be sure you follow through
Whatever makes you feel alright
Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever puts its arms around you
Whatever makes you smile
Whatever makes your daily battles seem worthwhile
Whatever makes you feel like your time is well spent
Whatever causes you to be content
Whatever helps you to erase your doubts
Whatever makes you proud
You are your best critic your best defense
It's you and no one else
So take charge of your choices and your life
Take charge of yourself

I think I'm generally a good listener anyway.
With radio, the listener absorbs everything.

The Two Sons!
Without the two sons,
Life is not fun;
So we run,
Behind the two sons.
SON makes you crazy,
With his treats;
SUN makes you crazy,
With his heat.
SON makes you crazy,
As he is rough;
SUN makes you crazy,
As he is tough.
SON makes you crazy,
As he is in sight;
SUN makes you crazy,
As he is in height.
SON makes you crazy,
As he weeps;
SUN makes you crazy,
As he creeps.
SON makes you crazy,
As we have gain;
SUN makes you crazy,
As we have pain.
SON makes you crazy,
As he crys;
SUN makes you crazy,
As he frys.
So without these:
Son and Sun
Life is not fun.
