You never are so easily mistaken as when you think you know the way.

So long as I confine my thoughts to my own ideas divested of words, I do not see how I can be easily mistaken.

Break A loving Heart
Hearts can be broken
depending on what you say.
They are very fragile
when in the game of love they play.
In a mistaken moment,
a careless word and thought
can so easily injure
and break a loving heart.
Dreams of lingering happiness
can burst as easily as a balloon
if aspirations are thrown at them
in a moment of anger
and things are said but never meant.
Take refuge in the thoughts
that what is said in anger
is not really, what people mean to say.

I can think that you are mistaken, but I have to be ready to give my life to maintain your right to make mistakes. I have to, though, have the right to say that you're mistaken. This is the principal of the liberal society.

There is no other go
You die for your young ones
So that they would keep you
When you are old to die.
Then you are mistaken.
They will dispose of you
As early as possible..
You die to save money
So that it would keep you
When you are old to die.
Then you are mistaken.
The mercy of the caretakers
Will determine your fate.
There is no other go

Mistaken identities
Prejudices come from mistaken identities.
Faith and belief stand from mistaken identities.
Actions are taken from such wrong identities.
Victims are mounting without a recluse.

Ode to Sage
I have a dog named sage...
Who always plays around and around and around
She never sleeps always Creeps
Also very greedy
All of this but always Loyal
All of this but still is spoiled.
Never Underestimate my dog Sage
For no matter how nice
She can surely get in a RAGE
So she will always protect me dont be mistaken
You can easily lure her away with a peice of bacon
But she'll just as easilly returned when she hears me in need
And for that I say she is a friend indeed.
My Dear good dog sage

Provocation
People in the road
I just want to spark the anger
To see how stupid you are
Easily be manipulated
People in the world
I just want to send the danger
To see how afraid you are
Easily be terrorized
People in the cloth
I just want to scratch the fire
To see how well you are
Easily be controlled
People in the slot
I just want to point the liar
To see how shock you are
Easily be distracted
And you will dance in my hand
And I will be laughing behind

Mistaken Identity
Undercover cop car
Came screeching to a halt
Body lying on the ground
Must be someones fault
Circumstantial evidence
Seemed to point her way
Her right to remain silent
Was all she heard them say
Blue dress, blue eyes
Blonde hair, about five foot nine
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crime
(chorus):
Mistaken identity
Could happen to you or to me
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
Could happen to you or to me
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
(I didnt do it, no, I didnt do it)
No money for a lawyer
To defend her case
Standing in the line-up
Tears rolling down her face
No one cared to listen
Someone had to take the heat
Sometimes theres no justice
When youre a victim of the street
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crime (x4)
(chorus):
Tu ut tu tu tu...tu ut tut tu tu
They didnt even say
Im sorry
Tried to put her away
In a hurry
Dont make her pay the price
Shes not guilty
(guilty)
For someone elses crime
Set her free
(set her free)
I didnt
I didnt
I didnt do it no (x4)
(chorus out)

Mistaken
I smiled at you because I thought that you
Were someone else; you smiled back; and there grew
Between two strangers in a library
Something that seemes like love; but you loved me
(If that's the word) because you thought that I
Was other than I was. And by and by
We found we'd been mistaken all the while
From that first glance, that first mistaken smile.

Tender
Tender?
I can surrender,
A tenderness.
I can become seduced...
If that emotion comes.
And I can not refuse,
A choice chosen we both choose!
I can be cold!
And my eyes would not hold that back.
I prefer to give...
But it is hard for me to take,
A heartbreak
You believe can be easily mended.
Anytime you have mistaken me...
As a piece of discarded meat!
You wish to treat as a leftover,
When you have the appetite to eat.
I am not 'that' available!
Your selection was timely.
You will discover that...
After I am gone!
And you are left cruising the streets!

Simple Together
Youve been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
Cant go to you for consolation
Cause were off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I cant stop bumping into things
I thought wed be simple together
I thought wed be happy together
Thought wed be limitless together
I thought wed be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken
Youve been my soulmate and mentor
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew gods face was handsome
With you I suffered an expansion
This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I cant stop dropping everything
I thought wed be sexy together
Thought wed be evolving together
I thought wed have children together
I thought wed be family together
But I was sadly mistaken
If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe
I thought wed be genius together
I thought wed be healing together
I thought wed be growing together
Thought wed be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken
Thought wed be exploring together
Thought wed be inspired together
I thought wed be flying together
Thought wed be on fire together
But I was sadly mistaken

One Who Has Chosen To Adorn Organic Carrots
Silence is golden
And a busy mind easily distracted
Is as cheap as pawned rhinestones
Awakening clearly to see
The value of things
Silence has a way of introducing clarity
More precious than anything kept in a treasure chest
Ask anyone
Who once flaunted the wearing of them
With belief they would be mistaken as diamonds
Having less worth
Than one who has chosen to adorn organic carrots
Grown to reap and harvest
From a cherished and secretly nourished garden

Dont Give Up Easily
(hicks)
If a foolish fool like me
Can read you easily
Then something must be wrong
Somethings different when we speak
It seems the past few weeks
Our loves not been so strong
Lovers have always had this problem
Ask anyone, youll see
Weve got to hang on til it passes
Dont give up easily
If we say whats on our minds,
Wed save a lot of time
Dont give up easily
I know youre feeling bad
Sometimes I make you sad
But when youre feeling sad,
Im feeling just as bad
During the good times its so easy
You are in love like me
Sometimes we feel we want to leave it
Dont give up easily
If we say whats on our minds,
Wed save a lot of time
Dont give up easily
Ask anyone, youll see
Theyll say the same as me
Dont give easily

Mistaken
i believe i've been mistaken
that boy is taken
i thought that i could let him go
let him be on his own
but i found out
that i can't do without
his touch, his kiss, his love
he's more precious than a treasure trove
i can't believe that i made the mistake
i thought i could fake
not loving him, and let him go
but now i know
that i've been mistaken
and there is no sense in fakin'
that my love for him is more than i knew
and i know what i have to do
please let me have one more chance
so that we can dance
the one special dance
the one called love

On The Verge Of Forgetting
i have mistaken
tuesday for a wednesday
i left my cellphone
on top of the lectern
i bring the wrong book
in class
mistaken Judy anne
for a Van
oh, i forget perhaps
that i am getting into a
fifty-one
wrinkled still in
love,
rusting love
beside me in this
room
is the sea
and i am this iron
wrapped in
white salt
i do not wish to
correct all these
i am prepared
into this forgotten
ness
time shall come
and claim me then
without a trace of
memory
and that will simply
be happiness for me.

Tell me mom
Dedicated to my mom
Please mom tell me that you love me
Tell me that you can die for me
Hate me not as I do nothing
It is sort of nature, can be done by each human being
Even through, I can act as I was mistaken
Just forgive me say 'you are forgiven'
My princess my friend and my life
You were to be my all, you make me live safe
Tell me mom that you love me as before
Rather you hate me I prefer to die per a day, four
Please love me mom as your precious daughter
What I was mistaken, take it easy see it lighter
Love you mom as same as dad before me
So please I want your heart, open it and give it to me
Love me after your husband
I want nothing at all but love me after dad
love you mom

In Old Age The Poems Come More Easily
IN OLD AGE THE POEMS COME MORE EASILY THE POEMS COME MORE EASILY IN OLD AGE
In old age the poems come more easily-
What is there to lose now
By just being oneself?
‘Oneself' is going to be lost
Whatever one does.
What others say and think
Or do not say and think
Means a bit less.
An old tough codger
Stands his ground
And sings his song.
What does it matter
If only the wind listens?

I Watched You Take Off
Meaning is sometimes hard to spot
It begins with the flickering of cigarettes
In the darkness of a dorm room
Ssomewhere in the suffocated mid-west
But if this is real then I was mistaken
And if there is truth then why can't we find it?
But beauty comes to those who have been waiting
For something that is bigger than themselves
But this is the sound of the hopeless kids
As they scream from the basements
Of the houses of their parents
And this is the sound of the hopeless ones
As they stare down at their books
And realize that they've been lied to
But if this is real then I was mistaken
And if the vision's gone

I Could Easily Fall In Love With You
Aum aum aum aum
Aum aum aum aum
If you should tell me that I'll always be,
The one you'll always love so true.
Then I can tell you I could easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."
It wasn't long ago I saw you there.
But even then I thought I knew,
That given half a chance I'd easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."
I've been too long on my ownsome now.
I've been too long by myself.
I couldn't feel more lonesome now.
If I was left on the shelf.
Don't ever change that smile you're smiling now.
And please don't let me see you blue.
Then I can tell you oh so easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."
I've been too long on my ownsome now.
I've been too long by myself.
I couldn't feel more lonesome now.
If I was left on the shelf.
Don't ever change that smile you're smiling now.
And please don't let me see you blue.
Then I can tell you oh so easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."

Who Am I?
I'm I weak or do I fall too hard, too easily?
I'm I gullible or do I just choose to believe the wrong people?
Wearing my heart on my sleeve is the only thing I know of.
Falling for every word you say I can't control it no more than I could have controlled falling in love with you.
I get wrapped up in a fantasy, I'm lost.
Getting sucked up at the first glance of you.
In reality I'm a stray, no where's to be found.
But maybe that's exactly what I want.
Protect myself, no one else will.
Decisions surround me, suffocating every breath that I inhale.
Take it slow I tell myself, but how can I when things happen and change so quickly?
Never fails, every time I'm finally happy and content,
Something tries to break that. It's a constant fighting battle.
No matter what decisions I make, I'll get my answer eventually.
Either way I'll come out as a stronger person,
I won't let anything break me down for long.
Strive, get back up, and continue to fight.
It feels like fate, though that could easily be mistaken.
Consumed with those feelings I hate, I need an escape.
Just when I'm about to lose control, you come to my rescue.
Once again you reassure me and destroy all of those worries.
How do you do what you do so well! ? You must be able to read my mind.
The connection we have, the common interest that we share,
It's crazy, and out of this world.
And this is how I know it's meant to be,
You're are incredible my love
