But I have fun with the fright, work with it. You have to - that's your timing, that beat of excitement. And when I go on stage, it's just like taking a step into heaven. Poof, you know? Poof - and there I am.

Just Like Magic
Just like magic you came into my life, then Poof! Your gone. Just like magic you took control over my heart, then poof! You break it into a million pieces. Just like magic you became my best friend in under a minute, then Poof! You become my worst enemy.
The funny thing is that Just like magic, you make everything better after you make things worse. Then just like magic you destroy everything that was right.
So Just like magic, This time I'm ending it once and for all. It's over, Poof! I'm gone.

Habit
Bow, sow, row, grow, how, bow, now;
Moral routines in the name of love,
And like a volcano of anger!
Mow, wowo, tow, yow, vow, low;
Paint it black and white to gain the msaases on your side,
For the football match is about to be played.
Roof, proof, woof, goof, hoof, poof;
Little by little and step by step,
But you still have your life in your hands.
Glass, class, lass, mass, pass, gas!
And of a sweet flow and a gentle flow,
But it is easier to start a bad habit than to break one.

Descartes, in a bar, did hear
'Last call, you want a last beer? '
But when put on the spot
he quipped 'I think...not'
and POOF, he just disappeared!

Sobering Reflections
'Look at those two
sad drunks ol' buddy'
One of these days,
that's what we could be'
My good ol' buddy snorted stout out his nose
Said 'That's the mirror behind the bar
That you're seein' you silly poof!
You're lookin' at you and me! '

Places
Past love died, as she cried, I saw beauty
Girls wished for boys and scared them away
As I saw beauty
Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright
Scared and cold, now youre old
Time thaws, but youll break
Theres a hole in my soul
How much more will it take?
Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright
I saw, I saw
And it moved all of the gray aside
I saw, I saw
It moved all of the gray aside
Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright

Tragedy Loves An Audience
The moment I met her I thought
'You know, she would play the 'tortured widow' really well'.
After all, if all the world is a stage,
then the cast should at least be adequate
and given my seeming 'need' for self destruction
it would be nice to have someone who is predisposed to melodrama around.
It's all about timing.
Timing and inevitability.

Ode to a Lightbulb
I dedicate these lines to you.
There never was a friend so true.
When darkness falls, you heed my call:
Spread luminescence over all.
You brighten up the darkest night,
But when you die - poof! - there goes light!
And yet, no tears are shed for thee,
Who gives your life that we may see.
O loyal friend, so round and white,
I honour thee, as is your right!

At My Window
Birds fly up
And down spinnin round
Flyin all around
From my window
A little brown sparraw came
Flutterin down
Le moineau est venu
Se poser ma fenjtre
He came to my window
And as I watched him
I found myself reelin and turnin around
And the faster I ran
I ran out of breath and I fell to the ground
(poof)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
He came to my window
He came to my window
He came to my window
From their eyes
The people must look like miniature toys
Do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away

I Should Have Been More Like Her
The little man
on my shoulder says
I should have been more
like her,
sugar sweet
but that's not me.
He says
I should have been more like her-
move to deceive
to keep him;
I'll not;
even if the price I pay
is Lonely.
Should have been
more observant
perhaps
and noticed all this
but mine
is not to compete
rather I strive to
complete;
to link-
the linkage
between
which seems
to me
builds foundations
that relationships
really need
to live beyond
the first kiss.
But the little man
says I am too wise
in this
and counsels
that first catch your prey
then educate.
I cannot
prey
upon my prey;
it's not my way.
I wait;
I say
for the right way
and the little man
goes poof
and
disappears.

051310J my feelings deserted me
picture on the fridge fell off
i pick it up and put in a trash
i went upstairs with glass of
water for you; you're all smile
i ask you how's your shopping
you said it's too tiring, poof
you ask me to unzip your dress
i did; i'm so nauseated but i keep
pretend to be so happy you're home
i even give you your night clothes
i lay like string beans out of hot water
you put your arms and legs around me
all my senses cease; i'm in too much pain

This Mick on the Next Stool
So this Mick on the next stool,
who's as serious as Yeats
but looks like Wilde,
stares at me,
with eyes crossed,
sipping Guinness through the foam.
Finally he burps and says,
'I'll bet that growth is cystic.
If it were on my nose,
I'd light this match,
hold a straight pin over it,
then prick it.
Poof! There'd be
a belch of goat cheese, sure.
But what of it?
You'd need a Q-Tip,
maybe a dropp of p'roxide.
But in two weeks
new skin would bloom
smoother than a baby's bum.
With your luck, Yank,
it would freckle.'

Once The Sun Has Been Stolen
I do not know what even the purpose of dining room or table is for anymore.
Family is about togetherness, yet we all must have our course of independence.
But what if we over indulge in these meals, gluttony can be a lonely existence when your all alone.
A wish to be on your own.
But do you understand what that even means?
Hopefully help isn't far when called.
But what if it is?
What if all communication dies?
Could you still survive?
Or have you been living a complete lie?
With every luxury we take for grant their someone out their who has not this accommodation.
Feels kinda cozy like a crutch you could forever lean upon.
But in one swell swoop it could be ripped right from underneath you.
Poof and its gone.
~The sun can only be stolen once.
And then we will be forever in darkness.

Your son
Your son in the corner selling drugs.
Do you care?
Your son kills innocent people,
you think thats fair?
Its like you dont give a ****, like you dont care.
Your son is in jail, because
of a gang that he's in.
Your son is on the corner, he stopped breathing.
Your son is in the hospital with a bullet in his heart.
You and your son will be apart.
Your son got shot because of
him trying to dropp out of a gang.
All your son heard was 'bam! '
Your son is 6ft under the ground.
Your son is dead!
Face the truth.
He left this world so fast like magic. 'poof'

Stage Fright
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Who suffered so much for what he did,
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame,
Since that day he aint been the same.
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin up there to give it all his might.
And he got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again.
Ive got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death.
Said, you can make it in your disguise,
Just never show the fear thats in your eyes.
See the man with the stage fright,
Just standin up there to give it all his might.
He got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again.
Now if he says that hes afraid,
Take him at his word.
And for the price that the poor boy has paid,
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh.
Your brow is sweatin and your mouth gets dry,
Fancy people go driftin by.
The moment of truth is right at hand,
Just one more nightmare you can stand.
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin up there to give it all his might.
And he got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm,
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm,
Please dont make him stop, hmm hmm,
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm,
Let him start all over again.

Heaven Is One Step Away
By eric clapton
We searched all through the night.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I knew something wasnt right.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
And then there came the dawn:
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
Chorus
We didnt leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I dont get it, I dont understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?
First verse
Chorus
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

Poof
If you have never poofed a dandelion
Rubbed petals of roses
Sniffed peppermint leaves
Stepped in virgin snow
Nor heard the sigh of a dog
The hooting of an owl
The moaning of a cat
Cawing of a raven
Or nursed an ice cream cone
Swallowed jell-o
Eaten sushi and venison
Shouted just to hear the echo
Then you have never lived
Still young of heart
Bangeeing from a bridge
Sky diving, skiing
Or even mundane mountain climbing
Can be thrilling
Live it up
Poof a dandelion

The Energy A Poem Needs
Like keeping a fire burning you need enough fuel.
Sometimes I run out.
Poof and it's gone.
A desire, thoughts upon the wire.
I need another jolt.
Charging my batteries.
Rebooting again.
Gathering all the energy.
Dispersing it evenly.
Trying to keep it honest.
Cause I hold truth so close to my heart.
That it is hard to separate the two.
Emotions running wild.
Look their Bambie just jumped across the screen.
The mother follows close behind.
So afraid to let her out it's sight.
Nature is but gorges of something I continuously need.
It is of the proper feed.
It is so pure and clean.
In harmony the birds always sing.
It is all the way I want my poem to be.

Read With Your Heart
My heart is beating with a love, so strong and so true,
my heart is beating with a love just for you,
my heart is singing a song you don't seem to hear,
yes my heart is crying out to you dear,
my heart is waiting here all alone,
it almost finds you, then poof you are gone,
my heart will keep looking all day and all night,
hoping one day it will find you, when things are just right,
don't read poems with your mind, but read with your heart,
there is a message hidden in each little part,
yes there is a message in each little poem,
keep reading them honey, till you are my own.
