It's Still There

It is what it is,
Until it isn't.
As sure as this planet we live upon,
Exists.
Although many refuse to see it,
For what it is.

Hoping...
That 'if' they should isolate themselves,
Long enough...
Away from it,
Whatever 'is' that 'is'...
Will succumb to the pain of not being noticed,
And from all eyes ignoring it...
Will overnight fade away.

'What's the matter.
Why do you appear out of breath and in fear? '

~I saw it.
It's still there.
It laid its eyes on me.
Staring.~

Overnight Observation

(j. farrar/t. snow)
Looks like Im the only one here
Even the nurse is gone
But I guess I should wait cause when she left, she said
The doctor wont be long
So make yourself at home
His office is down the hall
Why do I feel uneasy?
I know he must be good
Got credentials all over the wall
I hear a voice behind me say
What seems to be the trouble, my dear?
Wont you be kind enough to step over here
It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, Ill have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
Ill hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
Please dont think me ungrateful
But holding me overnight
Seems a little extreme
Do you always serve martinis
And turn the lights down low
Doctor, do your colleagues know?
Although you say its good for me
I really dont feel like dancing now
Somebodys waiting
And Im double-parked anyhow
It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, Ill have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
Ill hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
Now, I may look stupid
But Ill tell you what, Ive been around a long time
And I thought I had heard everything
I tell you, they keep coming up with them
I just couldnt believe my ears when he said:
Kick off your shoes, relax my dear
Slip into something comfortable
Two seconds flat, Im out the door and down the hall
It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, Ill have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
Ill hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)

Pray Away my Sin

Into my eyes you stare with a beating heart fueled by the fire of hate

Looking at me for a way to escape lives cruel daily rape

Is it up to me to find an answer to our questions of faith?

Escape from my eyes sprite of the phoenix...into summer air be free

Staring into the eyes of sadness
Staring into the eyes of pain
staring into the eyes engraved with the wrath of God

Upon me sprite of Adam, upon my eyes let me see the son of God

Bring and end to all that I know, end this life of long suffering

I Stare Death in the Eyes

Every morning I wake up
To stare death in the eyes
Thinking of everyone
I put the gun away
I walk away from the eyes of death
I got through the pain everyday
Not because it happens
Because it happened
Staring death in the eyes
Makes me understand why
Slitting wrist
Buck shots to the head
Eating bullets
Become a reality
Rather than imaginary
Staring death in the eyes
Makes me more comfy
With death
To myself
To end life
Is not the way
Because of pain and others
Are why I live today
I stared death in the eyes…
And I survive to live another day

You are You

No.109, Dated: 21-July-09
You are You

You want to know your own name
Looking into my eyes, a simple question you ask
Though I know I’m all open to you
Then why do I live beyond this mask?
Your indifference creates the distance
I can’t confess that You are You
My love exists in every fragment
In every moment that you live it through

You ask me the name of the girl
Though in every beat of my heart you reside
Why can’t you guess your own name?
When my every pain you tend to subside
You are a part of my every dream
Still you have a doubt that You are You
The face that’s engraved in my mind
That’s the face I wish I drew

I know I haven’t told you anything
But can’t you still read my eyes?
Is it so difficult for you to understand?
The love that makes me rise
In a state of trance when I hear your voice
It’s crystal pure like morning dew
I tend to absorb my every breath
How to tell that You are You?

The only fear that I have
I may lose a dearest friend
I know the time is not best for you
So I avoid the emotional trend
The pain in me and so the void
I would die if I have to bid adieu
Just come and hold my hand for ever
Look into my eyes and say that YOU are YOU.

Momma This Pain

As I lay in my bed
Fear takes over me
Wondering what could take hold of me

Momma i've cried
Momma i've laid
But this fear is pain

Not like any pain
The pain you feel when a womb can't heal
A pain you feel when you take a bad pill

Where no matter how hard you try to breath
It seem like nothing will work
I reach out

Trying to feel but I reach for air trying to breathe
Momma I'm scared please help me
But it seem like you're not listening to me

Momma this pain is worst than many
This pain is worst than any
It feels like I'm dyeing

I can't breath
I see your shadow help me as I try and talk
You smile instead, can't you see I can't walk

Momma can you hear me
Momma this pain
Momma this death feels like nothing

I feel free I have no feeling
I feel like I'm lifting air
So you feel it

Momma I feel no pain
Momma no pain, no pain
Momma I'm free, no more pain

Someday, I'll Fly

I refuse to bow down, I refuse to surrender
No matter how hard you push,
I refuse to stay under.

I'll bear the pain and heal my bruise
No matter how hard you try,
I'll take no more abuse.

I won't ever loose, failure I won't face
No matter how hard you play,
I will win with glory and grace.

You leave me nothing but despair to choose
But I refuse to cry and I refuse to die,
I'll break these shackles of your prison,
And someday, I'll fly.

There's fear in my eyes

No sorrows in my life
No enemies to fight
There are thousand reasons to smile
Yet there's fear in my eyes

Sweet dreams to see
Beautiful day to live
There are many reasons to love
Yet there's fear in my eyes

No fire to burn
No darkness to curse
No valleys to fall
Yet there's fear in my eyes

A Mother to love
A Father to care
A sweet family to live with
Yet there's fear in my eyes

All friend with me
No enemies far mile
There are all relations of truth
Yet there's fear in my eyes

Showers of blessings on me
All smiling faces for me
All words of love for me
Yet there's fear in my eyes

But what I fear for I'm unknown
What? When all these things will go
And I'll be left all alone?
And for all these things I'll have to say bye! !
May be for this reason
There's fear in my eyes
There's fear in my eyes

She will not cry

She has pain locked in her eyes.
But still she will not cry.
No she wont.
She will not cry.

She has the anger deep in her eyes.
Her eyes are evil with the madness that sets her eyes ablaze,
She won't cry.
No she will not cry.

She has fear in her eyes.
She has the pain in her eyes too.
The smile she wears is a disguise,
She won't cry.
No she will not cry.

All hope she once had has died.
She allways knew everybody lied.
She tried her fears to hide.
But they came washing in like the tide.

She has deaths hand in hers.
She hopes not to live one more day.
It hurts to feel.
To feel brings pain.

Did they see her die inside?

Eyes Above Me

I look into the sky
And see your glowing eyes
Although you caused me so much pain
Ill still look to you with love
What happenend is done
Its in the past
High above the ground
I look deep into your eyes
High above the ground
You stand and watch me from above
As i live a long tired life
You call my name each night
So i look into the sky
And there i see your glowing eyes
As long as i believe your there
You'll always continue to watch me
No matter where i am
Ill always see your eyes above me

To live long is not a blessing.

The ignorant live long.
Ignorance has no fear
And hence no worry.

The gutless live long.
Grass succumb not
Even to storm.

Do you want
To live long?

My Greatest Fear!

I have many fears
some range from big to small
here's a secret dear
my greatest fear of them all
you might think it was to die
and yes long time ago it was
but now I enjoy the thought of my death
but let me tell you now my greatest fear of them all
is to become old and older going through menopause
become sick and ill until you no longer feel,
eyes always glazed do you see heaven through your haze?
painful streaks of pain that no medicine can contain
how can you keep your fate in god
when hes giving you all this pain?
but none the less this is my greatest fear
its not the thought of dying
its just the pain of old age
I don't want to be immortal
what a pain that would be!
but see it through my eyes
as you watch your grandmother slowly die
after all these years of pain
then you can understand my fear
is not death its slowly deterioration as i get old
so id rather die at 40 yeas old, young i know
but its peaceful that thought
my greatest fear my greatest fear my number one fear of them all!

In Dreams

Everytime I speak
Wipe away all these tears
Living every day in fear
Finding nothing but empty
[chorus]
Wide awake and dreaming
Os this what it seems?
Close my eyes forever
I'll wake up
Desperation strips me
These last days have not been free
Stealing every breath from me
Whispering defeat
And I see it in your eyes
Long gone
And i feel it in your heart
Long gone
And I see it in your eyes
Long gone, long gone

You see not fear.

In these eyes,
you see not fear,
no distortion of the mind,
no not here.

As i stand,
you see not fear,
in the depths of murder,
in the darkness so near.

Within this place,
you see not fear,
for there is something much worse here,
a lack of fear,
low and behold,
the death from these eyes,
now staring back at themselves,
once again,
They've destroyed,
in the night,
this feeling that propels.

Painted Eyes and Ears

All my life I walked around
with painted eyes and ears
Never really seeing what was right before my eyes
never really hearing, the shouts, the screams, the cries
the pain and anger and humiliation
was too much to bare
so I buried it deep down inside
what I saw and heard in fear

I walked around for all those years
ignoring my pain and fears
and closed my heart to all who cared
cause the guilt was too much to bare
then one day I saw a light
that made me think again
of when I was a little girl
before the shame and pain

along the way I was helped by many
who cared for me in vain
cause I still lived in fear
and hid away my shame
and then the lord appeared to me
and came into my heart
and then my family one by one
help stomp out the dark

so now I say to those I love
I thank you from the heart
for taking all my fears away
giving back to me my heart

Reflections

All I Need Now Is Some Golden Wings That I May Fly
But It Drops Down On Me This Weight Of Time
And The Pain In Their Eyes
I Crawled Along My Cracked And Narrow Path
And Saw My Reflection In Some Broken Glass
It Was Blood Red Blood Red And It Said
That The Years They Stay And Then Move On
And Like Yesterday You Have Come And Gone
You Reached An End
But I Know That Eventhough There Is Summer
There Is Also A Fall
The Cold Will Stay The Warmth Will Leave (Whispers)
If To Live Is To Sin Then This Must Be Done
For Whatever You Do Is Evil To Someone
But It's Killing Me It's Killing Me
So I'm Headed Out To That Road That Winds Forever And Ever
But It Drops Down On Me The Weight Of Time
And The Pain In Their Eyes
Standing Here On My Freedoms Shore
There Is Nothing Left There Is Nothing More
Than To Rise So High And Then To Fall
Some Songs Are Prayers And This One Prays
"It Is Better To Live Free For A Moment Than A
Slave For A Day"
So Just Fade Away
Fade Away
Fade Away

Planet Of Dreams

Nothing on smoke today
Nothing dies on the wing
Wings been losing time
An anarchy born in pain
Pain that comes and goes
It goes against all you see
You see I got gables eyes
And eisenhower blames the poor
The poor huddled on the curb
Gotta get back in shape
Were backing up a major plan
Were treading on ? ? ? ? lights
Were walking under golden sun
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet

I Refuse

Everythings heaven sent
Thats what you said and went
Inside your fairy glass
Somethin you think will last
And when they crop you like a clown
You got your smile on upside down
B-baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find omebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
And everythings on a whim
Thats what you said to him
Lyin in wunderlust
Are feelings you never trust
And when they pamper you with ice
I cant believe you dont think twice
Uh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
And everyone makes the play
With nothing left much to say
Theyre all in an endless line
Waiting for equal time
They keep screaming its the truth
And you keep kneelin in the booth
Oh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
Oh, I do refuse
(I do refuse)
Oh, you got nothin to lose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
I refuse
(I do refuse)
Ah, oo-oo

Oo, oh got nothin to lose

Since I Laid Eyes On You

(Ellen Shipley/Billy Steinberg/Sandy Stewart)
Why did I show my hand
Now you know your wish
Is my command
I never longed for things I didn't have
But that's no longer true
Since I laid eyes on you
I know I'm not the same
I don't need a fortune
Don't care about fame
But my soul is a burning flame
Can't sleep the whole night through
Since I laid eyes on you
I want your sweet caress
I dream of your tenderness
Oh I never, ever felt like this
I swear
Look what you've done for me
Oh boy, it's poetry
When I see the wind in your hair
The tears well up inside
Oh, what will turn the tide
And I've been waiting for you to decide
That you love me too
Since I laid eyes on you
What else could I do
Since I laid eyes on you
You, you, you, you
On you
Oh, yeah
Since I laid eyes
On you, you, you

Overnight Angels

(ian hunter)
In the heat of the indian summer
Out along the appalachian way
You can hear the sound of the overnight angels
As they pray
Charged by the light of some mariners lantern
Spitting out a cold but triangular spray
Cant you hear the screams of the overnight angels
As they play
Talking to the spirits through a silver curtain
Reaching out beyond the length of the light
You can catch a glimpse of an overnight angel
As he shines
Dancing through the toys of the dead and the living
Laughing at the poets changing their rhymes
Cant you feel the pulse of the overnight angels
Beating time
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels angels angels
Children of the junkies led the revolution
Push yourselves over get yourselves there
Someone throw their arms round the overnight angels
Cause they care
Angels dont need no phony religion
Throw them out along with the ethnic nowheres
They will never speak to the overnight angels
They can only stare
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels angels angels angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels angels angels angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels angels angels angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels
Can you hear us can you hear us
Were talking bout the overnight angels angels angels angels
