This morning of the small snow I count the blessings, the leak in the faucet which makes of the sink time, the drop of the water on water.

To The Woman That I Love
i am tired
with time
it is the black
cat that bit me
and i cannot anymore
recover
i am rabid,
my saliva is flowing
like a leak
in the faucet,
i am not Adam
so please Lady
in my nightmare
if you understand
what love is
kindly return back
my rib
so i can complete
myself
to meet death
nicely.

The Critic
So what if what I say
so what if what I do
isn't what you wanted too
that doesn't justify you
tearing me down
with all that you say
it seems you only live
to doubt my every move
pretending like you always knew
but I don't care if you don't
like what you see
cause I'll do as I please
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
No matter where I am
no matter where I go
you never can leave me alone
you might as well just tell me
you're wasting your time
cause you're going to fail
and now I finally know
and now I finally see
the reason why you couldn't be
the person that you dreamed of
you gave it all up
well I won't do the same
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same, no
Leave me alone
I need more than room to grow
cause we're not the same
you treat my life like it's a game
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same
we're not the same

Were Gonna Move
(words & music by vera matson - elvis presley)
Well theres a leak in this old building
Yes, theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Were gonna move to a better home
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
Were gonna move to a better home
Well theres a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it drops right out again
Well theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Were gonna move to a better home
Well theres a crack across the ceiling
Yes theres a crack across the ceiling
Well theres a crack across the ceiling
Were gonna find us a better home
Weve gotta stove without a chimney
Weve gotta stove without a chimney
What goods a stove without a chimney
Were gonna move to a better home
Pulling down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbor can peep right through the wall
Well theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Were gonna move to a better, move to a better
Move to a better home

Learn
when broken
learn
when happy
learn
when bored
learn
when you float and does not know what to do
learn just the same
when filled with idealism
learn
when fed with what you cannot swallow
learn again
when the times get rough and you want to kill yourself
learn, learn, learn
you still have many things to learn
faces of life
bodies of life
learn, learn, learn everything
do not surrender
for in truth, you do not do what you only want
you will also do what you are told to do
no questions asked
or you will be left out
or you will be not a part of the picture
this life
learn, learn, learn, always learn
do not surrender
live, learn, live, learn
you will soon do all that others will tell you
learn, learn and learn again
and sooner you will have learned everything
and then do what you want to do
with firm conviction
you know now what is right
and that is what you will do,
now without even being told
you have become yourself
but still learn, learn, and learn again
because
you might be wrong,
try thinking some more, learn
relearn, learn, learn, learn, forevermore....

The Ways Of Water
With your unknown
to me
Odd magic
You came
To me:
Your truck
Backfiring
As if sending
Out
Rockets
To the
Stars
You came
In
So gracefully
Rockets
Silenced
Behind you &
Set
To work
As if nothing
Brought you
Greater
Joy.
I did not see Life was
About to change, as it does,
When odd magic appears:
There was
No music
Yet.
Chatting
About relationships, our freedom
From same,
Which we
So defended;
About water, faucet
Drips;
The gifts
Of growing older;
You set to work
& I, standing above you
As you lay on
Your back
Studied
Your feet:
Well cared for
In ocean blue
Sandals
Made of tough
Plastic.
Buddies,
We said, we agreed
That's what we
Needed.
How about going out
Together as buddies
For a night of music
& dance? My first
Indication
That song
Had a place
In
Your world.
Two years later
The leak
In my kitchen
Sink
Remains
Fixed
As well as
The leak
I never mentioned
In my spirit.
Early and late
We savor
The music
That comes
From
Your horn
The Golden Phoenix
That travels
With us
Everywhere
Your sound
Your love of Miles & Bird
& Wynton
Making
Friends of strangers
Around
The globe.
In Poor
Countries
Where
The grass
Has died
& the ponies
& oxen
Also
& the people
Have nothing
To bath in
Or to drink
&
Yet are soothed
By your cool
& liquid
Music, which
You pour over them
So freely,
I want to tell them:
Yes, he is also
A water man.
Yes, he also knows
The ways
Of water.
But they know this.

Living Without You
I can hear that old clock ticking, passing time up on the wall I can hear the faucet dripin in the kicthc down the hall to the one that I keep missing every night and every day
Theres things you learn to live with now thats all but Ill never get used to living without you
Now I got used to tenderness, we would hold each other tight and I got used to happiness wed make love day and night and Ill get used to mornings sitting in the evening swhen theres
Theres things you learn to live with now thats all I ever do but ill never get used to living without you
Without you, the sun sill rises without you, the rivesr run I thought by now that Id be realizing whats done is done I accept the notion that theres things we cant control like the changin of the seasons or the fact were growing old I know Im the reason that you had to go away I will keep believing that s the price we had to pay chorus oh theres things you learn to live with repeat

Im In Love All Over
(don king, j.d. martin)
Well Im flying out of tulsa
Trying to get out to the coast
Missing my connections
But its you I miss the most
Im in love all over (echo)
Im in love all over (echo)
Well Im in love all over
Everywhere I go
Well my heart feels like bursting
When you walk into the room
My lips just start thirsting
For another kiss from you
Im in love all over (echo)
Yes Im in love all over (echo)
Im in love all over
From my head down to my shoes
In search of true affection
I found a new direction
And thats straight to you
Oh I use to like to play around
But I can see thats all over now
Oh my friends sure like to gossip
Think they know the gospel truth
Words leak like a faucet
When it comes to me and you
Im in love all over (echo)
Oh Im in love all over (echo)
Yes Im in love all over
Everywhere I go
Im in love all over
From my head down to toes
Im in love all over
Everybody knows about me and you
Repeat verse 5, 6, 7
Oh yes they do
Cause Im in love all over
Im in love all over
Yes Im in love all over
Yes Im in love all over

Homesick
Homesick!
And committed to be brave.
Pretending to shield against a tendency to fear.
No need to save tears,
Clearly falling from eyes...
Like a leak from a faucet that can not be turned off!
These conflicts fought on foreign lands...
By soldiers taught,
To keep emotions devoted and frozen not to show!
Yet expectedly they do.
Dangers faced.
The homesick embrace.
Wishing one day from them to be erased.
Homesick!
And committed to be brave.
Pretending to shield against a tendency to fear.
What is near is too real.
What is there is theirs to feel.
With a wish to touch...
Someone loved so much!
Homesick!
With no weapon provided to avoid it!

Do You Know
Written by billy burnette and christine mcvie.
Do you know
All there is to know about love
And if you do
Then let me know
If I have learned enough
To make it without you
Can I learn
All about love
I dont know enough to make it alone
Well I can leave it just the way it was
I can try
Im gonna try
And if I fall
If I ever fall in love again
I hope I will feel the same
Can I learn
All about love
I dont know enough to make it alone
Well I can leave it just the way it was
I can try
Do you know a
All about love
Do you know enough to make it alone
Can you just leave it the way it was
Can you try
Can I learn
All about love
I dont know enough to make it alone
Well I can leave it just the way it was
I can try
Do you know a
All about love
Do you know enough to make it alone
Can you just leave it the way it was

Well I can leave it just the way it was
Let me try
Well I can leave it just the way it was

I learn
I learn when I teach others
I learn when I listen

I learn from children
I learn from animals
I learn from nature
I learn how to breathe
I learn how to live
I learn how to love
I learn how to be a human being
I'm always learning ...

Leave Nothing Behind
Leave no stone unturned.
Leave no desire not yearned.
Then look back on it all.
Leave no poem without word.
Leave no song unheard
and never let them fall
into a space where all of them
cry out for their place.
Leave no book unread.
Leave no soul unfed.
Leave no scowl upon your face.
All of these things you left undone
you must learn to embrace.

Death Friend
Black raven death expressed friend
pluck out everything until the end
also that of what may leak
brings me blood makes me, Me
Do it slowly
let it go painfully
Leave nothing left
nothing to be kept
Leave an empty space
dont leave a single trace
where the bloody organ be
pity is all i ask of thee (2-2-2012)
Death, do send
your best friend
to come and meet
take away life and love from me (2-3-2012)

Handle The Desire
Desire is irresistible.
The best way is to meet it
Or leave it to dry out
Or to sublimate it in works
Or to leak it out.
To suppress it is boil it.

I Could Have Easily Used A Simple Wrench
What do I think about the increase,
Of today's rising social ills?
I remember once having a leaking faucet.
I ignored the dripping of it for weeks.
One day it got on my nerves so bad,
I broke the handle off the faucet.
And tried to stop the gushing of water.
And ended up,
Having to have my entire bathroom remodeled.
And then decided to take out a loan,
To redo my entire home.
Only to discover,
The value of my home depreciated...
When the homes around me were being foreclosed.
And now I am stuck with a bill,
My grandchildren's children...
Will never be able to repay.
And everyday I say to myself...
I could have easily used a simple wrench,
To tighten a loosened nut!
And that would have stopped the dripping.

The Leaking Roof....
there is no use
repairing the leak of the roof
of this
house
it is raining
let it rain
let the water wet this floor
and the furniture
let us wait when will this dark night
end
when this heavy rain shall stop
on the same leak
we shall see the light that falls
on those wet floors
and furniture
it will show us the truth
and shall guide us
what to do next

No One Around Notices
An opened mouth,
Running with nothing learned coming out.
Will be the same mouth,
Running with nothing learned coming out.
Year after year after year.
And...
Can be compared to a leaking faucet...
One promises to get fixed.
But doesn't.
And...
That is more irritating to listen to,
Than the sound coming from a faucet...
Gushing flowing water,
Endangering to flood a floor...
As a sink fills,
For the first time done.
And no one around notices,
Or is paying attention.
But the steady nonsense dripped from one's lips,
Is powerful enough to cause one a headache.

Cans with evil contents
Sealed cans will not leak.
Empty cans too won’t leak.
Yet sealed cans are risky.
Men gentle to women
Can be either of them.
