Rebeca, I Know
Rebeca, You're not
as you claim,
taking my name-
my friend,
but fiend.
I have my foe,
I know,
my bosom one
None.
I'm calculative, not got
anything cheaply,
shamelessly,
wonderfully.
I can read palm,
know cold and warm
Don't try to fool me,
You won't successful be!

A Friend.
The summer was warm,
it gave me delight,
for all i needed, was a friend,
that would hold me tight.
A friend to hug,
a friend to help,
a friend whose there,
when i yelp.
The day was lovely,
my heart was warm,
at last, a phone call!
but sweat filled my palm.
It was a beautiful summers day,
it gave me the chills!
i just need a,
friend to sit on the hills.
Self Portrait
My friend, leave before you fall into my trap
My friend, I’m not what I pretend to be
My friend, I’ll only scar you
My friend, you chose the wrong fiend to befriend
My friend, I backstab all who trust me
My friend, I lie to all who speak so fondly of my deeds
My friend, I’ll bring nothing more than trouble to your doorstep
My friend, I’ll never be there when you call
My friend, I’m addicted to this way of life
My friend, I only care for things that add to my pathetic ruin
My friend, I don’t care for anybody but myself
My friend, I’m what your mother said a devil might turn out to be
My friend, I’m not proud of all of this
My friend, I’m simply honest and indiscreet
My friend, I’m losing but I’m happy and relaxed
My friend, I think you should stick around for another night and try your luck

COULD WE BE FRIENDS? [BY Redscar & Moons]
MOONS:
Could I be your FRIEND, my friend?
For ‘Redscar and Moons’ sounds sweet
What I mean do you comprehend?
When things went bad I almost quit.
I long for this; could we try to blend
Now that we share a sweet lit seat?
Could I be your FRIEND, friend?
REDSCAR:
Please be my FRIEND, oh friend!
Behold, my bad I won't repeat;
I'll never act like a dire fiend,
And from candor I won't retreat!
...So I beseech that we blend,
For us to make all that is sweet -
Be my FRIEND, my dear friend!
MOONS:
I found a niche in you friend,
Like hearts in rhyme with a beat,
I may not have enough to spend,
Let alone excess for a treat,
Words, these words are all I lend,
...May be as meaningless as skit,
Could I be your FRIEND, Friend?
REDSCAR:
In you I've found a special friend
For with you, my life has no dent;
I'd love to retain you till the end -
As a FRIEND, my, you are God-sent!
...And now in you I highly depend,
For care, and the good that's latent;
Be my FRIEND, my dear friend!
MOONS:
Listen carefully oh friend,
My words are truly meant,
On this Moons you can depend,
My all would certainly be lent,
But am scared should you turn a fiend,
I may crumble not being a magnificent.
Could I be your FRIEND, Friend?
REDSCAR:
God forbid: I'll never be a FIEND,
Never to do anything you dissent!
I love you dearly - I don't pretend
To ever be FRIENDS I beg your assent;
...Like ere my blessings to you I send,
Rebuking all that bring predicament;
Be my FRIEND, my dear friend.
MOONS:
Then, I'm honored my Friend,
Confidants we've just begun to be,
With every additional dividend,
I invest again in You and Me,
This relationship I'll tend,
...A Moons and Redscar spree,
I'll be your FRIEND, Oh dear Friend.
REDSCAR:
How I thank you, my dear friend
For accepting to be in this with me!
I'll cherish your amity till the end,
And I'll shower you with much glee;
...For you, I promise to ever fend -
The only Moon in my sky you'll be;
I'm glad you are my dear FRIEND!

Fortune Teller
Went to the fortune teller
Went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
To have my fortune read
I didnt what to tell her
I didnt what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Said shed take a look at my palm
Said shed take a look at my palm
Said son do you feel kind of warm?
Said son do you feel kind of warm?
And she looked into her crystal ball
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said youre in love.
Said youre in love.
Said it could not be so,
Said it could not be so,
Not with all the girls I know.
Not with all the girls I know.
Said when the next one arrives
Said when the next one arrives
Looking into her eyes.
Looking into her eyes.
I left there in a hurry
I left there in a hurry
Much to my big surprise
Much to my big surprise
The next thing I discovered
The next thing I discovered
The fortune teller told me lies
The fortune teller told me lies
So I ran back to that woman
So I ran back to that woman
Mad as I could be
Mad as I could be
Told her I didnt see nobody
Told her I didnt see nobody
How she made a fool out of me
How she made a fool out of me
At last something shook me
At last something shook me
As if it came down from above
As if it came down from above
And now the fortune teller
And now the fortune teller
And I fell in love
And I fell in love

Fool For Your Lovin'
I was born under a bad sign,
Left out in the cold,
I'm a lonely man who knows
Just what it means
To lose control.
But, I took all the heartache
And turned it into shame,
Now I'm moving, moving on
And I ain't taking the blame.
Don't come running to me
I know I've done all I can,
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man.
So I can say it to you, babe,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more.
I'm so tired of trying,
I always end up crying,
A fool for your loving no more,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more.
I'm tired of hiding my feelings,
You left me lonely too long.
I gave my heart, and you tore it apart,
Oh, baby, you done me wrong.
Don't come running to me
I know I've done all I can,
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man.
So I can say it to you baby,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
Fool for your loving no more.
I'm so tired of trying,
I always end up crying,
A fool for your loving no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more.
I'll be a fool for your loving no more, no more, no more.
(Solo)
So I can say it to you baby,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
Fool for your loving no more.
I'm so tired of trying,
I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more.
A fool for your loving no more,
No more, no more.
Fool for your loving no more...
A Fool for your loving no more

In The City Of Poets,12/26/09
in the city
of poets
all men
are equals
and stride about
congratulating
one another
on their genius.
in the city
of poets
the statistics
of attentive readers
exceed
all expectations
and the bookstores
burst
like fat silos
with their harvest
of rhyme.
in the city
of poets
passports
to immortality
are issued
with abandon,
frontiers
evaporate,
and customs gates
are thrown open
by exuberant
and trusting
guards.
The city of poets
is a classless
society
where no one
dares admit
the existence
of aristocrats
or kings
and everyone
shamelessly
lays claim
to successful
expression.
In the city of poets
bad verse
drives out good
or rather
drowns it
in a sea
of mediocrity,
a conspiracy
of equality,
a brotherhood
of banality,
and every man
is his own
best
bard.

I Have A Friend
I have a friend who cannot walk
I have a friend all he does is talk
I have a friend, Philippe is his name
I have a friend and we are just the same
I have a friend he’s seventeen years old
I have a friend who has a heart of gold
I have a friend who would catch me if I fall
It is only that he has no legs at all
I have a friend and when my friend was seven
A car ran over him and he almost went to heaven
I have a friend with a smile that I adore
I have a friend who lives in a house of four
I have a friend his family is his home
I have a friend who dreams of visiting Rome
I have a friend who is still finishing school
Yet some people tell him that for that he is a fool
I have a friend they say he is disabled
He has no legs and for that he is labeled
I have a friend who has a friend
They were made for each other; their love will never end
I have a friend who likes to name the stars
I have a friend and what he hates is cars
I have a friend who’s happier than you and me
I have a friend who’s shown me how happy I can be
I have a friend who’s had his bad times too
I have a friend who’s better than me and you
I have a friend so dear to me and kind
That another one like him I shall never find!

Love To Keep You Warm
If you want love,
You gotta be cool
And if you deny it,
Then baby youre a fool.
Im telling you now,
Dont you hide it away.
Because you need to keep you warm both night and day.
I could come home
Late at night
And after some loving,
Baby, it would be alright.
Ive given up trying
Lying my way.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I wont be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
You gotta have love.
(solo)
If you want schooling baby
Ill be around,
Im ready for fooling
But, dont hang around.
And every morning I know I will say.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I wont be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day.

Cold Of The Day
A wisp of smoke from a chimney
drifts high up in the sky.
A small bird wings it south
through a cloudy sky.
A pale sun smiles
through the cold of the day
as people walk around
wishing they were far away,
lying on some warm
sun kissed isle.
Where palm trees sway
instead of walking around
on a cold winter’s day.

A Married Man's A Fool
(Willie McTell)
Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon
Just as wise as he could be
Now I realized he could read the Good Book
Back from Revelations down to Genesis
You know last Sunday morning we was over to the church
My buddy wants to take him a stand
And he looks out upon that whole congregation
The Good Book in his hand
Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen Corner
All the sisters commenced to shout [What'd he say ?]
He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him
She stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slim
Now you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one:
Every married woman got to have a little fun
Read on over chapter twenty-two:
It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you
Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three:
She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me
Read on back, over chapter ten:
She shimmy one time, you got the problem again
'Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife
Loves nobody else but him, I mean, loves nobody else but him
Well, a married man's a fool to think that his wife
Loves nobody else but him
She stands by you all your life the chances is mighty and slim
Now you read on over twenty-fifth page:
Married womens, Lord, is hard to engage
Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six:
Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixed
Read on out, chapter twenty-eight:
Who's that back slidin' out through the back gate ?
I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine:
Woman get tired of the same man all the time
'Cause a married man's fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him

The foolish servant reads the palm in his Master's absence
His psychological stress took him to a person who reads the palm and gives you a narrative gesture about your identity.
'Stretch your palm and what do you prefer
Past, Present or Future? '
'All'
'Yes, past is gone and it never comes,
Present still goes and you gain fifty fifty.
But you never save in your lifetime.
Future is nice but it hasn't come yet.
There will be some changes in your life and who knows?
You don't want to see a Palmist as you read yourself well.
Future is nice and nothing to be worried.'
Before he leaves the servant showed his palm and begged him to read something about his future.

The First Time Was Not The Last
i was not yet 22
when i walked around
with a bottle of sin
in my long black wool coat
the winter’s in Chicago
were very very cold
and i never thought
of going home
instead I wandered
the isolated streets
and went into
dark murky basements
and sat over heating vents
outside of university buildings
drank my posion and
smoked my shit
on those warm blowing vents
taking away the bite of the cold
i had no direction
and i didn’t care to find one
because i was warm

Friend Fiend Ship
FRIEND FIEND SHIP
Far past, false future, seem the same
Representing in life's game
Indifference, too hard to tame,
External trappings frame by frame
Now here, now there. Prepare, fair dame,
Death which life swallows, trace of name
Sudden fades. Life's rush-hour train
Heeds none, - pain, fun, - nor sin, nor blame,
Ideals of virtue went and came.
Plastic mirage few retain:
For some short space we stake our claim
In search for perch - yet joy and bane
Exist outside man's plans too lame,
Nor can they last. Life's candle flame?
Dream guttered soon for John and Jane.

Desires
As darkness shrouds
The night sky,
The moon creeps in
Shamelessly
Into the privacy
Of my room.
Where,
tossing on the ambers
Of my melancholy,
You invade,
Tight lipped,
Entangled in my dreams.
Wherein,
Holding your hand
I escape,
The cages.
Breaking all chains
I flee,
to tread the unknown
Forbidden path of glee.
Where,
Beloved,
your gaze holds mine.
Your look,
Seeking my soul out of me.
Your taste,
A bitter sweet
In my mouth.
Your hands
Tracing,
bruising me
a little Blue
a little black.
Where thuds of your heart
Lie close,
Music to my ears.
And together we
Drown
into the swollen floods
of desires
absorbing,
the uniqueness of
“us”.
The flat of your palm
Still tracing,
Lingering with glee.
The moon
Still shamelessly
Invading
The privacy of my room.
Only its fire everywhere
But the smoke
No where to see.

Loves Strange Ways
When passion shines her blinding light on you
You know my friend theres nothing that you can really do
Just follow on behind her veil of deepest purple haze
Down, to loves strange ways
Drowning in a laughter as you go
Intoxicating laughter that spins you high and low
Dangerous times are these, but oh so wonderfully new
Laugh along you fool, cant you theyre laughing at you
Lost in the haze
Of loves strange ways
Aint it funny how it turns
When its all over, nothings learned
Just a passion and a fool
And a memory that burns
And thats what you get
When you play with loves strange ways

I Wanna Get Back With You (feat. Tori Amos)
I was a fool to say the things I said,
I just lost my head.
Made you cry, made you go,
I didn't mean to be so cold.
I had no right mistreating you that way
And oh, how could I know the price I'd pay?
Sorry I ever caused you pain.
Sorry I, sorry I said those hurtful things.
But baby, all that really matters now is
I wanna get back with you.
Just give me one more try.
I wanna get back with you.
Just stop this hurt inside.
I gotta get back with you.
I been walking down these cold and lonely streets.
I been losing sleep
Had to prove I was strong but every night,
Every night just proved me wrong.
Had to think I had heaven right here in my hand
And oh, just let it slip away like sand.
Oh, gimme one chance to make it right.
One more chance, one more chance back in your light.
'Cause baby, all that really matters now is
I wanna get back with you.
Hold me just like before.
I wanna get back with you.
Taking me somewhere warm.
I gotta get back with you.
Baby, I'd give my soul
Just to hold one more time,
Just to look in your eyes.
'Cause right now I'm half alive
No matter what I do
There's no living without you,
can't you see baby?
I wanna get back with you.
Just give me one more try.
I wanna get back with you.
Just stop this hurt inside.
I gotta get back with you.
Hold me just like before.
Taking me somewhere warm.
I wanna get back with you, babe.
I wanna get back with you, baby.
I wanna get back!
I gotta get back with you!
Oh, take me back!
