Ginsberg Love Letter
Dear sweet mad bearded
naked bard guardian
angel of my soul:
Oh Allen,
I remember how you saw me through
those lost vagrant nights I suffered
choking on insomniac bull frogs
of insoluble cosmic revelation
So many nights I cried...
Desperately longing to confide...
I found you...
someone who could relate
to such an unruly manic mind
hurricane of tyrannous thought
A fellow self combustible Cassandra
conjuring locomotive banshee dynamo visions
of a shattered shadowless earth...
Someone who could feel the transmissions of
ancient radio tower pain...
You helped calm those
alien schizophrenic shivers...
soothed a screaming psyche...
Gave a voice to a mouth
once mute with fear
Thank you Allen,
for leaving love's trail of
subterranean sunflower seeds in your wake...
...I now see them sky bound sprouting
as I walk the golden-laurel path you helped lay
Oh how low I used to hang
my soggy hop washed head...
How drunk I was on myself …
How little I shared with others...
So many lizards and cockroaches
loitering inside...
I could never let another soul in
to help refurbish rotgut wasted walls....
How awash I was in ego insecurity...
Allen, your drunken escapade revelations sobered me up.
Summer's I shave my age darkened locks off just for you
Always with a bearded face
carrying the glowing tan medals
of our shared alma mater
the universal uniform worn
in Whitman academy
Allen, mailing letter's of laurel gysum to the world,
you knew the exact local of my soul's address
OH Allen,
You escaped this life alive!
of this I am certain:
I feel your poetic heart...
Beats resonating daily in my chest!

Edgar Allens Crow
All outside is white as snow,
except for Edgar Allen's crow.
Quietly and so serene,
till Edgar Allen's crow does scream.
Waking me from peaceful dreams,
to hatred in the night.
Now I know all Edgar Allen's,
madness in his write.
Stalkingly he walks the window,
pecking on the vane.
Now I know why Edgar Allen,
wrote of things insane.
Tis not a raven in my head,
that drives me to these words.
But this blackened beast which will not cease,
hes such a noisy bird.
I scream and shoo but he don't move,
seems fear he does not know.
Hes not a the raven that I think,
hes Edgar Allen's Crow.

Barbara Allen's Cruelty
IN Scarlet town, where I was born,
There was a fair maid dwellin',
Made every youth cry Well-a-way!
Her name was Barbara Allen.
All in the merry month of May,
When green buds they were swellin',
Young Jemmy Grove on his death-bed lay,
For love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his man in to her then,
To the town where she was dwellin',
'O haste and come to my master dear,
If your name be Barbara Allen.'
So slowly, slowly rase she up,
And slowly she came nigh him,
And when she drew the curtain by--
'Young man, I think you're dyin'.'
'O it 's I am sick and very very sick,
And it 's all for Barbara Allen.'
'O the better for me ye'se never be,
Tho' your heart's blood were a-spillin'!
'O dinna ye mind, young man,' says she,
'When the red wine ye were fillin',
That ye made the healths go round and round,
And slighted Barbara Allen?'
He turn'd his face unto the wall,
And death was with him dealin':
'Adieu, adieu, my dear friends all,
And be kind to Barbara Allen!'
As she was walking o'er the fields,
She heard the dead-bell knellin';
And every jow the dead-bell gave
Cried 'Woe to Barbara Allen.'
'O mother, mother, make my bed,
O make it saft and narrow:
My love has died for me to-day,
I'll die for him to-morrow.
'Farewell,' she said, 'ye virgins all,
And shun the fault I fell in:
Henceforth take warning by the fall
Of cruel Barbara Allen.'
Multi Son
I am the Multi Son
my ancestor's land knows no boarder
my parents are the products of stars
my true body bound by no
gravitational limitations
I emit myself in waves e'er expanding
my blood line is of circular lineage
my dwelling 11 dimensional
my face may be seen as old
dependent upon the light
may be seen as young
could attract could repel
all based upon any
temporal perspective angle
I wear the face of familiarity
bearded in my common man masculinity
my eyes lips lashes and locks
signaling my inner femininity
People always claim to have known me
my passing presence conjuring forgotten
fragments of past life memories
for I know the full flow of time
have seen the cosmic mirror
reflecting each and every mind

Summer Was (II)
Summer was the longing we felt each other feel,
Like the certainty of hope in a newly spinning wheel.
Summer was the sunshine that shouted through the rain,
Like a prayer up to the heavens, like calling out your name.
Summer was the picture frame that lay upon my desk,
Like an old, forsaken memory burning in my chest.
Summer was the love that you threw down from the stars,
A kiss from you to me: a simple message from afar.
Summer was the breeze that blew right through my soul,
Like a storm upon the beaches, wild and uncontrolled.
Summer was your music that played inside my heart,
Like a clock whose hands were turning, winding back towards the start.

Bars Fight
August, twas the twenty-fifth,
Seventeen houndred forty-six,
The Indians did in ambush lay,
Some very valiant men to slay
Twas nigh unto Sam Dickinson's mill,
The Indians there five men did kill.
The names of whom I'll not leave out,
Samuel Allen like a hero foute,
And though he was so brave and bold,
His face no more shall we behold.
Eleazer Hawks was killed outright,
Before he had time to fight,
Before he did the Indians see,
Was shot and killed immediately.
Oliver Amsden he was slain,
Which caused his friends much grief pain.
Simeon Amsden they found dead
Not many rods from Oliver's head.
Adonijah Gillett, we do hear,
Did lose his life which was so dear.
John Sadler fled across the water,
And thus escaped the dreadful slaughter.
Eunice Allen see the Indians comeing
And hoped to save herself by running:
And had not her petticoats stopt her,
The awful creatures had not cotched her,
Not tommyhawked her on the head,
And left her on the ground for dead.
Young Samuel Allen, Oh! lack-a-day!
Was taken and carried to Canada.

Leap Of Faith
There is strength deep inside me that I never knew I had
Theres a fire within burnin bright
There is a love inside of me that I never thought Id feel
Until the day you came into my life, yeah
And it was you that were there when no one else was
And you show me a love unknown, ooh
You kept the fire burnin
You kept hope alive
And when my soul was fallin
You helped me to survive
And you led the way
Encouraged me to take that leap of faith
Theres a dream that I dream, I never knew it would come true
Theres a place I never thought that I would be (ooh)
There is a chance (theres a chance) that I took (that I took)
That I never thought Id take
Until you came and helped me to believe, ohh...
You were there when no one else was
And you showed me a love unknown
You kept the fire burnin (you kept the fire burnin)
And you kept hope alive (and you kept hope alive)
And when my soul was fallin (and when my soul was fallin)
You helped me to survive (you helped me to survive)
And you led the way (ooh)
Encouraged me to take that leap of faith
(Of faith, of faith, of faith, of faith, of faith, of faith, ooh)
Leap of faith (faith)

(How to believe in me) in me, ohh...
You moved that tree and tore that forest there for me

Pushing me to take that leap of faith
You kept the fire burnin
You kept hope alive
And when my soul was fallin
You helped me to survive
Ohh... ohh... ohh... ohh...

There is nothing really ever to fear
Fear is regression
regression is pain
pain turns sweet sunshine into bitter rain
take my hand my dear
for there is nothing to fear
Fear is anguish
anguish is sorrow
sorrow is but a deep hole so hollow
let this not be the end of me
hold me tight and set me free
oh embrace me so close, so near
for there is nothing really ever to fear
Fear is destruction
destruction is chaos
chaos is a cynical and unruly boss
that can become your surpressive master
do not let fear take control
of the every corner of your innocent soul
Take my hand oh my dear
hold me so very near
for there is nothing that we should ever fear!

My home away from home
When through earth's dusty path i roam
Nightfall let me return home!
For within its four wall shall i find
Warmth and comfort of every kind!
But when worldly ventures doth beckon
That far away from home i shall finally begone
Let me paint thy face upon the canvas of my heart
And write on its page, few lines of thy sweetest part
For when the world shall curse me to hate
And every journey seems a little too late
When travel sore i find no resting place
Search among crowds and see no memorable face
Then those lines of thy sweet part i verse my poem,
Shall be my comfort, my home away from home!

It was kind of scary because working with Woody Allen becomes sort of a big deal in your mind. He directs in that Woody Allen character some of the time - he has these idiosyncrasies that are really charming and funny.

Plight Of Life
Drenched in my tears, my ink i spend
For life with little right but so much wrong
And each alone with his own spirit fend
In life though short but miserably long
Hurt, my soul doth feel inside
For all pains in life we live by
For though walk we, far and wide
Those things will always be, that make us cry! !

Yesterdays Letter
I wrote a letter yesterday
Just trying to explain
Couldnt find the words to say
Cause you are so far away, so far away
I wrote a letter yesterday
Its so hard for me to face
That it had to end this way
But my love will never change, will never change
When I search my soul to find the truth
About the love we shared
I wonder why youre no longer here
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you
Craves for you
Sings for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you
Ive been talking in my sleep
About the way it used to be
Girl I pray that you hear me
Then Ill see you in my dreams
Oh, in my dreams
Well I cant forget the words you said
To pull away from my life
And no matter what Ill carry you inside
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you, breaks for you, sinks for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you
Sooner or later your gonna realize
That this type of love happens once in your life
So open your eyes girl
And see what we could be
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you, breaks for you, sinks for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you, breaks for you, sinks for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you

Did It In A Minute
Lyrics & music: daryl hall, sara allen, janna allen
When you find yourself alone
And when going out is coming home
You rely on the kid 'cause theres nobody waiting around
If youre not an easy mark
Its a shot in the dark that hits the heart
I know when its coming
(I thought so anyway)
Some things stay the some and some are due for change
I thought I had them all nailed down
But you turned 'em around
You did you did it you did it you did it in a minute
It didnt take long
Well I still cant say I know
When a love is real or touch and go
And if two can be one, who is the one two becomes
Am I quick enough to see
When Im ready and its right for me
Say that I want it (I think so anyway)
Everybody always laughs at love
But what they want is to be proven wrong
Then you came along and I did it

In An Ivory Palace
Besieged was my love life totally unwilled.
An Ivory Palace you have helped me build.
With walls so high and locks on the gates,
Watchmen all along the paths doth irritate.
Fascinated visitors come at the gate and go,
For not even the grounds I desire to show.
My will to find joy in love now all broken,
Spirit shattered leaving not any love token.
Pleasing memoirs of love past doth retake.
Mind's eye doth pretty wall images make.
Helping the soul within find solace there.
It would be nice to find true love to share.
I would that it could be within my power,
To fill the terrain all with beautiful flower.
To walk among them; their beauty to feel,
Through passing time; my soul might heal.
To the Creator I rise as with Him I meditate,
Hoping to find the path with another to relate.
Wisdom and knowledge gained during prayer,
To receive the gift of love first we must share!
