How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.

To fail at the great is greater
I had made several leaps and
The fruit stayed too high to reach.
Had I aimed at those with in my reach
I would have got as many as my leaps.
Losing the formidable is worth many leaps.

Where the goat leaps, leaps that which sucks her.
Love Lost
You are gone, but still here.
Far away though so near.
We talk without heart.
When did this chasm start?
Air is thick every day.
We seem in the way.
We're hurt beyond repair.
For neither is it fair
To live another moment sad,
Denying things are so bad.
Lonely together true.
There's nothing else to do
But let this failure go.
Then once more try to grow
A union that won't break
Without the same mistake
Of letting things fall apart
Until that chasm can start.
For both our sakes, no more tears.
Let's smile and live future years.

A View To Kill
Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to faces, secret places, feel the chill
Night fall covers me
But you know the plans I'm making
Still overseas,
Could it be the whole lot opening wide
A sacred why
A mystery gaping inside
A week is why
Until we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assacination standing still
First crystal tears,
Fallen of snowflakes on your body
First time in years
To drench you skin of lover's rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die
But can we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see is the view to a kill

Leaping
fears hinder the great leap
you look to the other side
of this great chasm
you think you cannot really make it
afraid to fall and die
yet you do not well know
the essence of our being
we are not destined to be
just here with mouths gaping
contented on immobility
we are blind and we want to see
we make the leap and we fall
we keep on falling and falling
let me tell you this
if you are still reading these lines
we are here in between the chasm
we are falling and falling
we are not feeling any bottom yet
the floor is still nowhere to be found

A View To A Kill
(words and music duran duran and john barry)
Meeting you, with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill.
Night fall covers me, but you know the plans Im making,
Still oversea, could it be the whole world opening wide
A sacred why? , a mystery gaping inside
The weekends why?
Until we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire,
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire.....
Choice for you, is the view to a kill
Between the shades, assination standing still.
The first crystal tears, fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years, to drench you skin with lovers rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die..
But can we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see.. is the view to a kill

Ode To The 'x' World....
in his life
one moment
he saw two colors of same light
mixing
in the darkness of
his room
there is joy
in the fusion of that sameness
in tones and
depth
no one is watching it with
delight
except him
perhaps it is that sameness within him
that puts the
understanding of
extreme bliss
the rest of the shadows there
left
and outside the room
he hears the sound of
vomit
there is indeed a big difference
a wide gap
a chasm
that is what they only see
and they conclude
there is no love in that chasm
but only use
and disuse
there is nothing gentle in there
but force
with so much begging for more
understanding
that one may simply have to close
two eyes and feel
and forget and be lost in another
world
where no one seems to survive
there is this prison where one wants to
stay forever
because outside its walls
what can exist is only discrimination

That's The Way
Just a little every day-
That's the way!
Seeds in darkness swell and grow,
Tiny blades push through the snow;
Never any flower of May
Leaps to blossom in a burst,
Slowly, slowly, as the first,
That's the way.
Just a little every day.
Just a little every day-
That's the way,
Children learn to read and write
Bit by bit and mite by mite,
Never any one I say
Leaps to knowledge and its power;
Slowly, slowly, hour by hour,
That's the way!
Just a little every day.

She Leaps
She leaps into the alien heart
of the passerby, the drunk,
the girl who spouts Freudian talk
over Szechuan food.
She is part herself,
part everyone.
'Thank you for writing the story of my life,'
her mash notes read.
& 'Can you tell me how to leave my husband?'
& 'Can you tell me how to find a husband?'
& 'Can you tell me how to write,
or how to feel,
or how to save my life?'
She knows nothing
but how to leap.
She has no answers for herself
or anyone.
One foot after another,
she flies through the air. . . .
She leaps over cracks
& breaks
her father's back.

Deep In That Socket
Lipstick thick on lips delicious.
And I wanna lick 'em...
Then sick 'em in that pocket.
And I don't think I'll deny her,
A reason...
To try it.
Since I know...
How I got it to rocket.
And she dosen't seem as greedy...
As those greedy in a 'need'.
She's not like that!
'That's a fatal attraction! '
I don't like knocking my rocks,
All alone!
Lipstick thick on lips delicious.
And I wanna lick 'em...
Them sick 'em in the pocket.
And she got it to rocket.
Lipstick thick on lips delicious.
And I wanna lick 'em...
Then sick 'em in that pocket.
And if those lips are kissin' right...
We'll get good to satisfy a moan!
Deep in that socket...
To knock, bend and bop it!
But,
She ain't like that!
But,
She ain't like that!
But,
She ain't like that!
'That's a fatal attraction! '
But,
She ain't like that!
But,
She ain't like that!
But,
She ain't like that!
'That's a fatal attraction! '
But,
She ain't like that!
But,
She ain't like that!
But,
She ain't like that!
'That's a fatal attraction! '

Fine Artistic Features Inbred
Fine artistic features
flame interbred.
Freak features
fatal flavour
fatal flaws.
Foreign haughty
blemish lady
wellborn wed.
What devilish linear
alignment
of conflicted stars
conspired to mar your character
spoil soil tarnish blight soul
harden your Machiavellian heart?

Of Joan's Youth
I would unto my fair restore
A simple thing:
The flushing cheek she had before!
Out-velveting
No more, no more,
On our sad shore,
The carmine grape, the moth's auroral wing.
Ah, say how winds in flooding grass
Unmoor the rose;
Or guileful ways the salmon pass
To sea, disclose;
For so, alas,
With Love, alas,
With fatal, fatal Love a girlhood goes.

Earth Hour
by leaps and bounds
the world has progressed
since the industrial revolution
men's life expectancy
has increased so many years
by leaps and bounds too
we seem to be heading
towards a crash between
our own survival and
that of mother earth
earth hour - giving ourselves
and earth - a break
even in this darkness,
earth cools down to lift us
up in a warm efferverscent cheer
we cant help but shed tears
for what we had done to mother earth
and vow to light the coming years
in the darkness of our rooms

Annabel Lee
annabel lee
my love
as you breathe
in my dream
the sea sings, sighs
plays the strings
of my heart
only you can reach
those heart wrenching
low bass tones
a man's lost voice
from despair
the waves lift, twirl,
surge in all directions
oh, my longing to meet you
since you were gone
a craving for you
reprised so touchingly
by the sea
the volume of my tears
for annabel lee
the wind sweeps
over and over
a friend
the sea leaps, leaps
towards sky
how i desire you this moment
and it rains
your tears
the waves roar, roll,
my longing for you
