But Don't Despair
Despair, if you must –
But how's it going to pull you through?
Despair, when you trust
Naught since then there's naught to do.
Despair, should you thrust
Aside your pride, your self-esteem.
And so despair, if it's dust,
The only substance that you deem.
Despair, when a gust
Of slightly breeze can break your stance.
And do despair, when lust
Is your interpretation of romance.
But don't despair, if you can care
About the plight of any other being.
And you can focus on the help,
Support, and altruistic further actions
For the seeing. Be believing,
As despair will start receding
All around – simply since you found
A way to steer you clear
From this: the very cause of your despair!
So give to others; give them all a helping lift:
Despair, you'll find will disappear –
And that has got to be a well-deserved
And saintly gift!

If...
If ev'ryone believed in adulthood,
We would not behave like impish children.
If ev'ryone believed in something good,
Perhaps our evils would never happen.
If ev'ryone believed in honesty,
Thoughts would not require representation.
If ev'ryone believed in identity,
Each person would not crave affirmation.
If ev'ryone believed in truthfulness,
We would not follow laws of hypocrites.
If ev'ryone believed in wanting less,
Maybe we could learn to want what we get.
If ev'ryone believed in how they feel,
What is imagination would be real.

Christmas Apocalypse
One winter’s night while dreaming…..,
Of a world so pure…..,
I could feel the confidence…..,
That made me so sure…..,
Then suddenly I woke up…..,
Careful not to scare the kids…..,
Feeling the greatest revelation…..,
It was a wondrous sensation…..,
While I whispered with my lips…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..,
And I hoped God could hear me…..,
Cause my heart was doing flips…..,
As I said it again and again…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..! ! !

Despair Of The Early Morning
DESPAIR OF THE EARLY MORNING
Despair of the early morning
Despair of the darkness
Despair of the Despair
Despair of Old Age
Despair of the road closed
Despair of nothing to do
Despair of nowhere to go
Despair of endless errands
Despair of money running out
Despair of the message of Despair
One transmits to those one loves.
Despair that has to be resisted
Despair that the light of the day
Will help me overcome
Despair I will pray my way out of
Despair I will in the course of the day
Sometime overcome.
Not the great Despair
The unending Despair
The final Despair.
The small Despair of who I am and where I am now.
The Despair that still can be resisted,
By the writing of a few awkward lines
Early in the morning.

Art requires imagination. It requires Creativity. Creativity requires experience and experience comes from your life. And your life is expressed in your art.
For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.

Despair Is Darkness
DESPAIR IS DARKNESS
Despair is darkness-
Despair is death inside and death in the world and death in one’s own sad soul-
Despair is no way out -
Despair is the place where one is forever stuck -
Despair is the realization that one has done what one could – and one is not going anywhere else-
Despair is the admission of failure-
Despair is no sign of help anywhere around-
Despair is so much lost-
Despair is one‘s life is over-
Despair is regret-
Despair is the sense that one will never have the time to have another chance -
Despair is ‘it’s finished’-
Despair is no way out-
Despair is going down and more down and more dark and more afraid all the time -
Despair is the scream which hurts and does not stop the hurting -
Despair is the understanding that even Death will not save one -
Despair is that the pain will never end-not even with death.
Despair is no way out again and again and again- without end.

Imaginary Choices
Imaginary!
I can imagine your blessed innocence,
You muse and speculate in your imagination.
Ahh, what a relief to believe that I truly have a choice in this!
Your imagination gives me hope.
Your certainty strong,
Your judgment steadfast.
If I had your imagination, I could blush at my silliness
Give myself a swift kick and stern reproach.
They are just choices you know!
Here in the safety and innocence of your imagination.
Whence did that deviant despair blow back into my soul?
Now I’m feeling sad, a lightly sort of pout
Tuck me back in your steadfast imagination.
For my hope has run dry it seems it was only imaginary.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

Amageddon-Arsenals!
Armageddon-Arsenals!
Of bombs falling on us like the rattle of snakes;
Awesomeness,
Terrible,
And with price! !
But the river enters up to the sea to form the ocean,
And the Armageddon-Arsenals are all around us today.

I Believed You
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me
I believed what you said
The lovin days were through
But you were fooling around
I found somebody who,
Will never never take your place
Will never give me your embrace
But now that youve shown your face
Youve broken her heart too.
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me
Now what am I to do?
Now that you want me so
I just cant leave her blue
Or else Ill be alone
Well I just cant leave her now
It wouldnt be fair somehow
She loved me when my luck was down
Now youve broken her heart too
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me
Now what am I to do?
Now that you want me so
I just cant leave her blue
Or else Ill be alone
Well I just cant leave her now
It wouldnt be fair somehow
She loved me when my luck was down
Now youve broken her heart too
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now its up to me

Your Imagination
Lyrics & music: daryl hall
I remember when i used to be the jealous kind
I got over it, now you're taking over my old line
You're caring too much about what i say
You're wondering too much about what i do
And baby, your imagination
Imagination's got the best of you
I ain't doin' nothing that you could really say was wrong
Just one oversight and no that didn't last too long
Listen, you're caring too much about what i say
You're wondering too much about what i do
And baby, your imagination
Imagination's got the best of you
Don't know what you're looking for
What's this thing about "true blue"
You know i ain't no danger boy
You're the one i like to touch, touch you, you
When the mood is right, change the light and the moment's gone
Better turn around, 'cause the light doesn't last too long
You're caring too much about what i say
You're wondering too much about what i do
And baby, your imagination
Imagination's got the best of you
Imagination, your imagination
Imagination, use your imagination.

Stay
(jennifer blake)
Producer for bonnie: jennifer blake
Oh I know - youve been fooling with my heart
Cause deep inside - you dont know where to start
So insecure - of what tomorrow will
Oh please be sure - youre my all and everything
Youve heard it all before
- Im asking you once more
To baby stay - stay for a lifetime
Dont go away - oh baby be mine
Cause I know - Ill always be loving you
Oh baby stay - with me forever
For we were born - to be together
Cause we are strong - Ive always believed in you
Oh I know - strange things happen every day
This love will grow - youre the light to guide my way
Dont be afraid - Ill never let you down
Please wont you stay - have faith in this love that weve found
Dont throw this love away - oh baby wont you stay
Oh baby stay - with me forever
For we were born - to be together
Cause we are strong - Ive always believed in you
Oh baby stay - stay for a lifetime
Dont go away - baby be mine
Cause I know - Ill always be loving you

What Wondrous Anarchy
In virginal wonder
Rapt in awe
All was God
He breathed, he saw
Imagination!
Wild and reaching
Reasons anarchist
Yearning, beseeching
Insurgent heartbeats!
In Joyful syncopation
Innocence engaged
without hesitation
But:
By wise counsel
Gravity seduces
The alchemist stirs
and cunningly deduces
Heavenly figments
are flailing wings
to be shorn away
as childish things
What monstrous acts!
A brazen withholding
Of life unfolding
Of childlike beholding
Captive now!
Blake did warn.
Reason unchained,
is manacles worn.*
(* reference to: William Blake's "mind forg'd manacles")
