I can't even say I've begun yet, but I'm trying on the idea that there is a book in my future.

Merry Xmas Everyone

Are you hanging up your stockings on a wall ?
It's the time that every centre has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer ?
Do a 'ton up' on a sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day ?
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for your family to arrive ?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside ?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best ?
She'll be up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
If he catches mama kissin' Santa ?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up your stockings on a wall ?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall ?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made ?
When you land upon your ass then you've been slayed
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

At the moment, I'm toying with a new idea for a book, but fully engaged with writing screenplays, so the book idea - which needs empty space in my head - is barely formed yet.

What It Is You've Done

You have no idea what it is you've done.
Not a single thought of yours has come,
With an apology,
Or a 'forgive me please'...
Nothing at all since our fall begun!
You have no idea what it is you've done.

You have no idea what it is you've done.
Or maybe you do?
And I'm the one who is stunned...
Not realizing we were through!
While you were planning to 'retire' from me,
I ignored the hints dropped!
And didn't think your overnight trips were clues!
Not by calls you made from truck stops!
And all this time you knew?
You knew exactly what you were putting me through!

And all this time you knew?
You knew exactly what you were putting me through!
And you know what you have done?
You just don't care that the 'donin' was done...
To the one who didn't see you doing the 'donin' come!

An Idea

An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

The first function of a book review should be, I believe, to give some idea of the contents and character of the book.

The Last Page

I always dread the last page in a book,
especially when the book was good.
So I close it up and put it aside
but some of those pages you can't hide.
They've become a memory to keep.
So the book just goes to sleep
for a while.

And some time in the future out it comes
just like a trusty old friend.
I open it up and start it once again
reading it from beginning to the end.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Talking Book

I wish I had a talking book
That told me how to act and look
A talking book that contained keys
To past and present memories
A talking book that said your name
So if you were gone, youd still remain
More than a picture on a shelf
In imagination I could touch
A talking, talking book
I wish I had a talking book
Filled with buttons you could push
Containing looks and sights, your touch
Your feel, your breath, your sounds, your sighs
How much Id bluster to ask it why
One must live and one must die
I wish I had a talking book
By my side so I could look
And touch and feel and dream, a look
Much bigger than a talking book
A taste of loving future and past
Is that so much to really ask
In this one moments time and space
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love ever, forever be replaced
Can our love ever be replaced
Can our love ever be replaced
(can our love really be replaced)
By a talking book

To Thee, Old Cause!

TO thee, old Cause!
Thou peerless, passionate, good cause!
Thou stern, remorseless, sweet Idea!
Deathless throughout the ages, races, lands!
After a strange, sad war--great war for thee,
(I think all war through time was really fought, and ever will be
really fought, for thee;)
These chants for thee--the eternal march of thee.

Thou orb of many orbs!
Thou seething principle! Thou well-kept, latent germ! Thou centre!
Around the idea of thee the strange sad war revolving, 10
With all its angry and vehement play of causes,
(With yet unknown results to come, for thrice a thousand years,)
These recitatives for thee--my Book and the War are one,
Merged in its spirit I and mine--as the contest hinged on thee,
As a wheel on its axis turns, this Book, unwitting to itself,
Around the Idea of thee.

Thinking of our future

to gaze upon the night to come
thinking of our future, that has yet begun
to stare at the moon with a glance
thinking of our future, wherein we could dance
looking lifeless at the wooden door,
thinking of our future, what are we waiting for?
Dreaming of silence,
in the midst of a mental war
bleeding without guidance
to watch the Apocalypse from afar

The future is in your hand

Once there was a little girl living in a village
She wanted to find out what her future would reveal
So she wondered to whom should she ask her future
Finally got the idea that it must be her star

So one starry night she climbed up a steep hill
To become closer to the stars so that she could hail
On reaching the top of the hill she cried out aloud
'Oh, my star, please tell what future holds for me now.'

On hearing the words a little star shone brightly
And with a smile it replied to the girl sweetly
'My girl don't worry about your future too much'
'For it is your own hands in which the future is grasped.'

A lot of people love the idea of improvising but are terrified of it, so I tried to make a book that was not a chef's book about improvising but a real home cook's book with a real home cook's pantry, supermarket ingredients, that sort of thing.

These Days

These days, Ive been feeling lucky
Looking all around me
I see so many dreams that have come true
Like me right next to you
Like the angels coming through
These days have only just begun
Someone to come home to
Each and every night
All of my tomorrows
Are finally looking bright
Oh what, I wont rush it,
Why would I dare?
Nothing could compare
To the way Ive been feeling these days
They are the best Ive ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we were so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought Id feel this way
Cos all I ever really wanted is these days
If I could, Id try to freeze the moment
Set aside the future
Stay right here right now
So time wont fly
Like the flame that never dies
Like the love thats in your eyes
These days have only just begun
Something to believe in
When the world is going mad
And when the rain is crashing down girl
It doesnt seem so bad
Oh what, I wont rush it
Why would I dare?
Nothing could compare
To the way Ive been feeling these days
They are the best Ive ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we were so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought Id feel this way
Cos all I ever really wanted is these days
They are the best Ive ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we were so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought Id feel this way
Cos all I ever really wanted is these days
They are the best Ive ever had and they have only just begun...

I was starstruck and completely confused; making a film of this story hadn't even occurred to me, and I hadn't written a single line of the book yet. I had no idea how this man knew anything about my book proposal.

Of Lovers And Friends

i like the idea
that once we
were lovers
savoring each
sweetness
in the dark

then we were
torn apart
like some important
pages in the book
another chapter
is missing

what i do not like
about is this idea
that we cannot be
friends anymore

you shy away
even with the slightest
hush of my
hello

are you still in
pain?
you still love
me then?

i am at home
now
with love and
peace

there is only one
thing that i ask:
is friendship
dead in your heart?

I've always loved time travel. Always. I love the idea of being able to revisit your past and 'could your change your future.' I love the idea of regret, of whether you look back in regret and wonder if you made the right choices.

Is It Over

Written by ricky & marty wilde
Well theres a rumour out
Have you heard anything ?
And if you ask me now
Will I answer your question ?
In your eyes - I could hear you
Chorus:
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)
You never thought it would get to this
And now youre sick with love
Do you think I can heal you
In my mind - I still hear you
Is it over (or has it just begun)
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)
If I thought I was part of you
I would beg you to stay
But I cant live my time in this world
With the felling this way
Is it over (or has it just begun)
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)
And so you ask me now
Have you done anything
And when youre reaching out
Do I still wanna hold you
In my mind - I can hear you
Chorus (repeat to fade)

The war's begun

The war's begun,
The world is done.
Give up now.
And let us go.

Looking all around,
Everyone is down.
The world is in ashes,
Cause the war's begun.

Fire spreads,
The world is dead.
They have lied,
Cause the game's begun.

Living in a world.
Full of ashes.
Loss of breath,
Then I go down.

The war's begun,
The world is done.
Can't you see,
We just want to be free?

Let us go,
Everyone knows.
The secret's out,
Cause the war's begun.

They have lied,
And they,
Just watch us,
Die.

We fade away,
Like a bad memory.
They just watch,
And do nothing.

The war's begun,
The world is done.
Why do they,
Just watch us die...

Life Changes

I always thought life would be
just as I wanted it for me.

I just let it happen without a plan
and I would proceed as I began.

The unexpected changes came along,
unprepared for them like notes with no song.

The growth came slowly on every day
and routine tasks paved my way.

I stumbled more times than just a few.
But no one's pavement is a smooth walk through.

You carry the cross placed on your shouder.
You carry it begrudgingly until you're older.

Then age is upon you and I, for one
decided not to finish as I'd begun.

I started to plan and involve myself
like a mystery book that leaves the shelf.

The pages of my book are what I need
to turn and show me how to proceed.

How the book ends I do not know
but a good mystery book will never show

how the story ends. It surprises you.
That's how I'll be until I'm through.
