Mountain Road
We're going up
they're going down
oh, this mountain road
up and down we go
exchanging bows
exchanging smiles
only in summer
for the peach.

Youve Been Around
Wheres the pain in the violent night?
Im depressed by the grill
I stay over many years
I should have thought of that
For the love of the money
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Its the nature of being
Its too many lonely nights
I cant tell bad from wrong
I cant pass you by
Too exchanging
Youve been around
But youve changed me
When the flesh meets the spirit world
Where the traffic is thin
I slip from a vacant view
I should have thought of that
And the sound of tomorrow
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Like the silence of tension
Its too many lonely nights
I cant tell good from bad
I cant pass you by
Too exchanging
Youve been around
But youve changed me
Youve been around
Cant pass you by
Youve been around
But youve changed me
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!
Too exchanging
Youve been around
But youve changed me
Youve been around
Cant pass you by
Youve been around
But youve changed me
Youve been around
Cant pass you by
Youve been around
But youve changed me

Castle of Dream
Have you been there
in the castle of dream?
I've been there
in the castle of dream.
There were many people
of different colors,
of different clothes,
of different language,
in one long table
enjoying different foods
exchanging smiles
with pure gentle love
glowing in their eyes.
In the castle of dream,
I've been there...
just......behind the walls.

It was but just a while ago
remember just a while ago,
remember not too long ago
we were but children at school
as little Jane with braided hair
and clumsy Lee with pimples to spare
Ah, how time grays our heads,
sweethearts,
and life blesses our hearts,
blesses our hearts
O remember sweethearts,
it wasn’t too long ago
we were but teenage girls exchanging gossip
and many ambitious boys exchanging blows;
O remember it was just a while ago
as it seems, just some days ago
and now our children bear children and
our grandchildren are at play in the fields
Ah, how time grays our heads,
sweethearts,
and life blesses our hearts,
blesses our hearts

Making a Memory
Languishing prostrate
Sultry sun melding our senses
We lay, and we talked
My daughter and I
Under a summer's evening sky.
Whispering secrets
Exchanging ludicrous viewpoints
On freedom to love.
My daughter and I
Under a waning twight sky.
Skipping out seawards
Through late lazy wavelets, swimming
midst wet girlish glee.
My daughter and I
Under that memorable sky.
Fingering hot food
Barbeque roasted and spicy
Warming the moments
My daughter and I
Shared under that magical
moonlit
mid-summer
marvellous
sky.
It's a little weird exchanging pictures for money. You know what I mean. It makes me a little uncomfortable.

Piccadilly Palare
Off the rails I was and
Off the rails
I was happy to stay
Get out of my way
On the rack I was
Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy
A reasonably good buy
The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
So bona to vada. oh you
Your lovely eek and
Your lovely riah
We plied an ancient trade
Where we threw all lifes
Instructions away
Exchanging lies and digs (my way)
Cause in a belted coat
Oh, I secretly knew
That I hadnt a clue
(no, no. no, no, no. you cant get there that way. follow me...)
The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
Exchanging palare
You wouldnt understand
Good sons like you
Never do.
So why do you smile
When you think about earls court ?
But you cry when you think of all
The battles youve fought (and lost) ?
It may all end tomorrow
Or it could go on forever
In which case Im doomed
It could go on forever
In which case Im doomed
Bona drag ...

Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony.

Slave Rebellion
Time belongs to those who own the hours.
Love to hearts exchanging eternal vows.
Life to death in selfishness a lifetime sours.
Faith sustains rules angelic universal powers.
Time belongs to fat vultures
who own exploit tyrant hours.
Love to merging hearts exchanging
soul felt sacred eternal vows.
Death to bloated eternal selfishness
many a wicked wasted lifetime sows.
But faith sustains God sent rules
life saving angelic universal powers.

The Peach Tree On The Southern Wall
The peach tree on the southern wall
Has basked so long beneath the sun,
Her score of peaches great and small
Bloom rosy, every one.
A peach for brothers, one for each,
A peach for you and a peach for me;
But the biggest, rosiest, downiest peach
For Grandmamma with her tea.

There once was a Nun
There once was a Nun and a Druid
Exchanging some bodily fluid.
Along strode the Father
Who saw all the bother,
Lost stickum while coming unglu..ed.

I like America anyway. In Japan we are much more formal. If two friends are separated for a long time and they meet they bow and bow and bow. They keep bowing without exchanging a word. Here they slap each other on the back and say: Hello, old man, how goes everything.

The Obviousness Of It
So busy they have been,
With the exchanging of masks.
And the playing of tricks.
They have forgotten...
Innovations come to undo things done.
And the only ones doing,
What they love doing with a doing of it done...
Are the few still left,
Bored to tears with the obviousness of it.

Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Tiny Seed - Essence of the Tree
Immense being – tiny seed
meat of the almond – essence of the tree
I now one with you – you now one with me
each bite we share
exchanging flowing earth
