I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of The Look.

I have been on the same dose of anti-depressants for 15 years, and my nerves still go up and down in cycles; but my nerves are cycling at a lower level than they were before.

Awaiting You
I await
in sittingroom
awaiting you come
with the boisterous chest
but you do not come
until day
so I do repeatedly
with the boisterous chest
but you do not come
until my hand tremble
jolt heart
in my chest
do not willing to desist
until you come

The Place
I’ve been searching a place,
The place for my face
Where it seeks solace…
I love the way,
You graze my face
With the stubble of your chin
On unshaven days...
The contours of my lips
Tracing your throat
Those steady warm breaths
Caressing my face…
Yet I keep going down
To seek another place
And find more respite
In your loving embrace
So while you lie down
I nest on your chest
Sucking in peace…
I take some rest
Yet the lover in me
Remains unsatiated…
So I go further down
On a voyage of discovery
To find the ideal place –
A place for my face.
Lo and Behold!
I find it at last…
No – it was not to be
Your chin, your throat,
Nor your chest…
Yet, I find a home
For my face…
A nice, new haven
Soft and mushy,
Warm and slushy…
Searching and seeking,
I quench my thirst
Sipping you gently,
I satiate myself
And lying down there,
With the feel of your skin,
The touch of your bristles,
The smell of your sweat…
I snuggle off to sleep,
Comforted and cosy
In your heavenly place…
Indeed – It is a lovable place
To be deemed fit as:
The Place for my Face.

Go down at the dance, bubble on the corner
When the rhythm is sweet, we a go hold tighter
Rub-adub like this makes you go one

Say you hold you position aya
Hold your position, say hold your position
Things and time was a getting slow let off the rhythm

You know you say, it heavier than lead
Kinda tougher than tough

Move to the east, and you could a move to the west
Lyrics like this Jab know never go jest
Say chunk ice water say right to your chest
Intercity, outer city everywhere the best you better
Hold you position, just hold your position

Well rhythm like this is really so hot
Let off the vilse because a legal shot

Kiss – all the bliss
I long for a tryst
To have a heart-full talk,
That you should hatch.
Else, will loosen my stalk.
I long for a scan
Of your face and eyes,
That you should own.
Else, rests not my vibes.
I long for a touch
And a press of your palm,
For that you should stretch.
Else, my palms get spasm.
I long for a hold,
A hold of your lean arm,
That you don’t withhold.
Else, I am out of form.
I long for a breath
On your nape and hairs,
That you better bequeath.
Else, it sends me to despair.
I long for a brush,
A mild one, of your lobe,
That you better slight.
Else, abate not my throbs.
I long for a pinch,
A pinch of your stern nose,
That you don’t retrench.
Else, my nerves go tense.
I long for a lift,
A lift of your blunt chin,
That you cannot but accept.
Else, my heart gets pain.
I long for a kiss,
A kiss on your lower lip,
That now you can’t dismiss.
Else, my soul would slip.
I long for your head
To lean on my breast,
That you no need to dread.
There lies your abode of rest.
I long for this unison,
For me, a heavenly mission,
That you can commission.
Else, I am lost in omission.
Bring out the supremacy
That runs in your blood,
To draw me in intimacy.
There lies unfelt ecstasy.
Mere lips bring orgasm
If love is in blossom.
Empty you of fear.
Incomes all the cheer.

You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength.

This One Is On Me
You want me to
What?
Endure your pain,
As an expression
Of my love and devotion?
You wait right there
'Where are you going? '
To get us both a psychiatrist.
Don't worry about it; the expense!
This one is on me.
Because I can not believe,
You are beginning to make sense.
That's how badly I need my head examined.

You Really Got A Hold On Me
You've Really Got A Hold On Me
(W. 'Smokey' Robinson)
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems like I'm always thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
I don't want you,
But I need you
Don't wanna kiss you
But I need you
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
I love you and all that I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Don't wanna leave you
don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, I just don't fit now
I just can quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all that I want you to do

Hold On
Youre sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby
Hold on--i feel Im getting ready
Hold on--i feel Im rockin steady
Hold on--Im gonna make it with you woman
Hold on--you got to gimme some love, gimme some love
I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps comin on strong
Although its mine now
I know it wont be for long
Theres something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
Im getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign
Hold on--Ive got to love you when I want to
Hold on--youve got to love me when I want you to
Hold on--i aint gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on--no never no more
I know the game youre playing
And I guess you think Im easily led
You think the words youre saying
Are really going through my head
Im gonna take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you, baby
That really Im a man
Hold on--i know Im feeling ready
Hold on--i know Im rockin steady
Hold on--guess Ive made it with you woman
Hold on--Ive got you giving me love
Something that you give me
Keeps me hangin on
No use me stayin
Theres nothing to be done
Im gonna take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you woman
That really Im a man
Hold on--i only want to take you higher
Hold on--you are the root of my desire
Hold on--cmon baby light my fire
Hold on

Hold Your Head Up
And if its bad
Dont let it get you down
You can take it
And if it hurts
Dont let them see you cry
You can make it
Just hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
And if they stare, just let them
Burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout, dont let it change
A thing that youre doing
Hold your head up ...

The beginning and the end
Every moment the beginning and the end
Every breath the beginning and the end
Every thought the beginning end the end
Every feeling the beginning and the end
Every choice the beginning and the end
Every action he beginning and the end
Every breath the beginning and the end
The beginning and the end
Always together the beginning and the end
Nothing separates the beginning and the end
It is all one the beginning and the end

Averted Violence
Stripped to the buff they circled round,
And jagged and swung and crossed;
To uppercut and smash and pound
No chances either lost;
Till folks opined, in some alarm,
That they might do each other harm.
Fiercely, they swung the left and right,
With punch and bash and clout:
Each grimly hopeful that he might
Secure the glad knock-out.
And, as they watched the 'claret' spurt,
The crowd feared someone might be hurt.
The ribs of one were bruised and sore,
His chin was badly gashed;
The other's face was streaked with gore;
And yet they biffed and bashed.
And someone said, 'It this goes on
There'll be an injury anon.'
Harder and swifter rained the blows,
And fiercer grew the fray;
At chest and chin and eye and nose
Each boxer biffed away;
Till cried the audience in fright,
If they're not stopped they'll start to fight!'
But on they battled, bruised and dazed,
Scarce able now to stand;
Until the Law stepped in and raised
A stern, restraining hand.
'Ah!' sighed the crowd, freed from suspense,
'It might have led to violence.'
