A Fan

Before the sun has set
I'll be a little old man
Before our lips had met
I would have had a plan
But love strolled by so fast
Our present
Is now my past
Catch it if you can
You see, with time, I'm just not a fan.
With you every day was warm
And i flew, but couldn't land
Heat of passion I thought was the norm
But I was burnt
When I thought I had tanned
And fate blew her away so fast
Now I'm at sea
And tied to the mast
That thief stole our joy and ran
You see, with time, I'm just not a fan.

Things Get FUNKY Fast

try to keep it shiny,
try to make it last,
every time you turn around,
things get funky fast.

try for law and order,
the die is cast
every time you turn around,
things get funky fast.

no matter how you figure,
no matter how big the blast,
bowling pins built to fall down,
and things get funky fast.

toil and trouble,
hang on what we do,
and bloodhounds,
coming after you.

the present moment,
ruled by the past,
every time you turn around,
things get funky fast.

you know I love you, baby
twine time is fine,
but I can't tell,
if you're a friend of mine.

on the deck of the ship
you're climbing up the mast,
it's hard to be hip,
things get funky fast.

Red book - The Rule Is You Must Say How You Really Feel.

Reading the red book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never too fast, never too fast, it says it won't last. Burnt by the past. Some new so close to you. You must get to know them. Its a game you can slowly win. Bury your true feelings.

Reading the read book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never to fast, never too fast. It says it won't last burnt by the past. We are all wearing masks. Time to take them off. Stop hiding behind your walls. It cost us all. It will be your down fall. Just another phone call. Meeting the face behind this stall. It has come to a sudden halt.

Reading the read book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never too fast, never too fast. It says it won't last. Burnt by the past. Are we trying to hard? Are we faking this march? Are you trying to hide something underneath? Are you look for a little relief? Do you want me, and are afraid to say it? Denying our insides. They can't be alive. They just can't. And go back to the old dance.

Reading the red book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never too fast, never too fast. It says it won't last. Burnt by the past. Memories ignite, previous passions locked up so tight. Are you willing? Are you giving in to obvious feelings. Let me know. And I won't go. Please stop the fruadlent show. Its faking thats so heart breaking. Is your heart aching? How can I make you understand this is your one and only chance. So please lets dance.

Reading the red book. It tries to explain the rules of the past. Never too fast, never too fast. It says it won't last. Burnt by the past. I have been burnt by the past.

Reincarnation

Somewhere
I think of you
Somewhere
I remember you

You are with me like the wind
From a faraway land and I know it is you
The way you kiss me still makes me quiver
Wind-lips touching my cheeks my neck
Wind hands caressing my arms my hands my chest
Wind-body hushing pressing against my body today

There is a sense of longing about two
Past bodies,
Two past warm bodies pressing to
Past warmth and past time somewhere
Only that it is too hard to remember the details
Of that past love, past the season, only that it is hard
To remember why that love died untimely

Now we are here, I am in this present body of a writer
For some reason you read me in your present body of a reader

You are telling me that something in my poem catches
The eye of your soul and you begin to remember
This is him, this is him, he was there with me before

Your way of telling me without seeing me is a feeling too
We were there before we were together we just can’t remember the details.

Today you are the thought that touches me like the wind-mind
So gently, a thought comes to my brain, a feminine thought claiming
A right that was there before, and which today vehemently denies.

The present seals it with birth.
Locked.
Another death is needed to open it.

A glorious past

Past is always glorious
by that only you have become known or famous
that must remain on or continuous
the reason may be many or various

you can't go by the past
though it might have ended fast
the present may still be eluded
if past is not at all included

you love the present and think of future
the thing which is not there for sure
Think of the past with little from present
you won't feel future too absent

don't read much about anything
you will have to prove for everything
you can't trust the present trend
you may plan accordingly with some mends

Rome-Me-Owe

The first time that I saw you smile, I paused to catch my breath.
I lost my senses for a while, no thought of life or death.
I tried to hear the words you said, but nothing filtered through.
I couldn't plan that far ahead at our first rendezvous.
My heart was racing way too fast. I stood there like a fool.
I saw my whole life flashing past while trying to look cool.
The tingling in my fingertips had caught me unaware
And suddenly I kissed your lips and felt you stroke my hair.
What happened next I couldn't say, I'd lost all track of time.
I took you home without delay, as though it were a crime.
Yet now I want you even more - no other girl's enough...
I've found out what my life is for... to simply show you love.
I want to be my very best to make you proud of me,
So that together we'll be blessed throughout eternity.
It's early days and early nights, too soon to understand
Beyond these gentle touch delights, like when I hold your hand.
I know that some are bound to scoff. Who knows how far we'll get?
A wedding dress? That's so far off, but don't dismiss it yet.
Let's see how well we act the part, within this new romance,
Without you calling me sweetheart, so your Mum's making plans!
I'm scared enough for both of us - let's take it nice and slow...
It's not wise now to make a fuss - true love takes time to grow.
I've got no plans to buy a ring or gems or jewels as such.
Although I can't afford a thing, I love you very much!
To me, you're quite incredible! I'd like to buy you lunch...
But can't afford it, beautiful... It's called the Credit Crunch...

She Ran so Fast

There was once a girl who wanted to run fast
She was the fastest in her home, the fastest in her class
She ran so fast she would break all the rules
Not to mention, all the records in all of her schools

All people called her, ‘Fastest in the world’
But that wasn’t nearly fast enough for this girl
She ran so fast gravity couldn’t carry her
And then one day, she ran past the sound barrier

One time,2 times,3 times, and 4
She mocked space shuttles in her quest to run more
Her feet never sored, her soul never tired
She ran so fast, she was lean as a wire
As she grew older, so did her legend
Her ambition grew bolder and made her feel destined

To become the fastest that ever existed
She was faster than stars shooting at night
But still she kept running, still she persisted
Till she outran her shadow and ran out her life

Some say that she ran faster than thought
And she could catch the waves of a laugh
Others say her physique was always so taut
She took the pictures and then outran the flash
“Life moved too slow, ” was her last known opinion
Before she ran herself into oblivion

Walking Past My Mirror

Walking past my mirror watching my life past by
And all i have to say is why
Sometimes i want to laugh, most of the time i want to cry
I see you looking in my mirror and it makes me want to die
You think the mirror lies but, i know it doesnt
You thought that it was supposed to happen but i know it wasnt
In my mirror theres nothing but the present
But i dont like the present because it is not very pleasent
Its all going to fast and i want it to go slow
And all those bad things i just want them to go

Blind

a past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried
after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
I would fall asleep
only in hopes of dreaming
that everything would be like is was before
but nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
they disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
after all this time
would you ever wanna leave it
maybe you could not believe it
that my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you will ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
and I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me dies when I let you go

My life

First rays of my thought,
Falls on you
Into the darkness of
My lonely blue
Nomad, I became with,
O! My thought, my herds,
Flew, blew, brew
Like water, air and birds,
Lo! Life is no less than a loo,
Into the casino of my dancing rue.
What disease suffering with
Thou my fate, you the sprue
I couldn't sue,
I couldn't woo.
Hope, my heart is being cleaned
Every day with the morning dew
I am on the way
Walked by lonely few
O Cage Keeper!
Thou shall not bring the freedom
Into the life of boredom,
I am willing to,
Unveil the curtain that drew//

Fallin

(marvin hamlisch/carole bayer sager)
Im afraid to fly
And I dont know why
Im jealous of the people who
Are not afraid to die
Its just that I recall
Back when I was small
Someone promised that theyd catch me
And then they let me fall
And now Im fallin
Fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in love
Youd think by now Id learn
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be oh so warm
And thats why I return
Turn and walk away
Thats what I should do
My head says go and find the door
My heart says Ive found you
And now Im fallin
Fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in love
Help me Im fallin
Fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in love
(it always turns out the same
When I fall)
Lovin someone, losin myself
Only got me to blame
Help me Im fallin
Fallin
Catch me if you can
Maybe this time Ill have it all
Maybe Ill make it after all
Maybe this time I wont fall
When I fall in love

Sonnet: Life is full of Surprises

Some things in life remain an utter flop!
My plans to make my life secure did fail;
I thought I’ll run but I could only hop!
My mind and body couldn’t stay hearty, hale.

The things I thought were precious-most were not;
Some ignored things were worth their weight in gold;
The mountain fizzled out and turned a dot;
The innocence of youth was gone when old.

The things that God bestowed on me were great;
Although delayed, they stood stead-fast with time;
I learnt that I could always change my fate;
Sometimes, a dollar got dwarfed by a dime!

Life’s problems pernicious get solved so fast;
The ways of God are strange but truly last.

Past-Present-Future

They spend no time together
Yet they're relatively linked
These three birds of a feather
Who march through time in sync

Present is right now
Past is just before it
Future rightly vows
Nothing will detour it

The past flies by too fast
It's movement so incessant
And with a final gasp
Bestows on us the present

The past is understood
When at present we look back
Most memories are good
But some do sadly lack

For the time that's yet to be
The future, as it's known
Let's prepare it present-ly
With good memories all it's own

Time To Start Anew With You

Holding on to something
A memory long ago
Holding on to something
Now it’s time to let it go

All these years
Flew by so fast
Reflections in the looking glass
It’s time to start a new
It’s time to a new with you
It’s time to start a new
It’s time to start a new with you

I’ve longed to tell you
But not had the time
I’ve longed to tell you
Now the ink is all but dry

All these years
Flew by so fast
Reflections in the looking glass
It’s time to start a new
It’s time to a new with you
It’s time to start a new
It’s time to start a new with you

Holding on to something
A memory long ago
Holding on to something
Now it’s time to let it go

All these years
Flew by so fast
The futures now is past
It’s time to start a new
It’s time to a new with you
It’s time to start a new
It’s time to start a new with you

Please mom
you ground me all the time
I know that I was right all along
And I'm hoping
Remember I'm a kid
I know not what I did just havin' fun
couldn't wait
for something new
and yesterday
I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
it's too late
I fell through
Nothing to lose
a boy who went out when he finished all his chores
nothing to do
They can't trust me
because i blew it once before

Shit dad
Please don't kick my ass
I now I've seen you trashed at least one time
Can i blame it
on one of my dumb friends
it's been awhile since I've used that line

You couldn't wait
for something new
and yesterday
I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away

U Thief, U Stole My Heart

U thief, U stole my heart
Oh, the grief, i am torn all apart
U thief, U stole my heart
Oh, the brief encounter, i should have known it would b
bad from the start
U thief, U stole my heart
Oh, the relief, i don't have 2 let u in, I guess even though
i will b lonely, i win
U thief, U stole my heart
Oh, the belief, y do i dare, y do i even care
U thief, U stole my heart
Oh, the mischief, i saw the signs, but i chose not 2 read

U thief, U stole my heart
Like the falling leaf, i will just have 2 make a new start

The love i couldn't give

She begs and craves all day,
for the love i couldn't give
She hopes and filled her fate
with the love i couldn't give.
Her smile is filled with hope,
of the love i couldn't give
her heart is sad but strong
for the love i couldn't give.
Her days is filled with hope and love,
for the love i couldn't give
her heart is mild but torn
because of the love i couldn't give.
She wished for just a day of love,
for the love i couldn't give
my heart is lost and gone
now there is no love i could give.

My heart is far from me,
there's no love i could give
my hope is far but deep withing
for the love i couldn't give.
My past came like a GIFT,
and stole my heart from me.
Leaving me hollow and empty,
now there's no love i could give.
My present wants so much love from me,
but there's no love i could give
i'll bring her smile all day,
even with the love i couldn't give.

Hes A Thief

He steals hearts and he steals my kisses
He stole away my love
He steals my thoughts
And now it seems
He stole into my dreams
Cos hes a thief , oh
Hes a thief
Hes a thief
Hes got me ensnared in his clutches
His love does not seem real
Hes got me there , in solitaire
His love is made of steel
But hes a thief , oh yeah
Hes a thief , oh
Hes a thief
I locked my heart and threw away the key
But hes knocked once and open sesame
He steals hearts and he steals my kisses
He stole away my love
He steals my thoughts
And now it seems
He stole into my dreams
But hes a thief
Oh, hes a thief
Hes a thief ( fadeout)

Angel On My Shoulder

Written by natalie cole and richard marx
I never thought Id ever make it, I cant believe the hell Ive been through
Couldnt see the light at the end of the tunnel, I didnt know what to do
Ive been through the rain, Ive been through the fire
There was something that I never knew
Chorus
I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine
Must be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there all the time
(angel, must be an angel) this world can be so cold and so heartless
Its hard to find your way alone, I used to run so fast, no one could catch me
I couldnt find the way back home, but Ive laughed, Ive cried
I almost died, but my broken heart just never knew
Chorus
I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine
Got to be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there
Right there all the time, everybody needs someone to cling to
With an unchanging love, I finally found a hand to hold on to
A shelter to run to, now I see hes watching over me
Chorus
(angel on my shoulder, angel) Ive got an (angel on my shoulder)
Angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine
Got to be an (angel on my shoulder), angel on my shoulder
Who was right there, right there, right there all the time
Got to be an angel, an angel, an angel, right there all the time

Hyperdrive

I never thought there were corners in time
Till I was told to stand in one
One straight line head on into the other
Maybe standing in the corner looks like where its got to come.
But I pretend one wall is the past and one is the future
And I just stand here like the present looking for a
Good place to run
Every fish that swims upstream now thats a catch
Because the full mouth never wants to stop cooking.
The map may be flat, the globe may be patched
But the long line keeps right on hooking
Circles in the ring of fire, where do you go
On a night that is clear and warm?
Oh where do you go?
I never thought there were corners in time
Till I was told to stand in one
Ive heard circles moving right through corners
And they dont even know theyve been around and around before
Ringing, ringing against each other on a singing chain
Like a flying magnet hyperdrive has never seen any reason
To remain the same.
Because I felt it I believe it
Because there are things Ive never seen that I believe
So Im going to place my face right in the triangle door
Till I can move right on through instead of just standing here
Looking at the floor.
And it rains again tonight, I can think light years ahead
Or I could put myself back a thousand years ago
As if Id always been here before or as if I am still to be born
Im a slow loser, but Im a fast learner
That much I know
Anyone can go
That much I know
Anyone can go
That much I know
Anyone can go.
