Plain Pains

Rains in my rooms
Trodding over the margins of my body
Drainage systems of my identities
Where are my belongings?
She is teasing my discomforts of connections
With the bridge we don't know.
Told by the ancient man coming out of the colourless cave.

How It Rains and Rains

‎...as if trillions
of buckets of water splashed
intermittently

...as if up there
clouds remember to rain
suddenly in torrents

...as of rain's
on a game of teasing
the earth

is how it rains
and rains and rains
over few days/nights!

The Faith of Baha'i

We cling to multiple identities;
Such identities impel us to show
Loyalties based on identities.
Multi-loyalties bring conflict in us.

Loyalties propel us to side or fight.
Religions and politics take much toll.
Language and territories are not behind.
Racial identities still raise their heads.

Leave identities; leave loyalties.
Both tell that you are led by prejudices.
A world community formed without them
Is what Baha'u'lla'h preached as his faith.

The Midnight Rains

The minute drops of the rains came chanting on our heels when our hearts banged and in rapidity panted for breath, we noticed a beckoning arrival. An arrival of a mystery. A two and a half hour of non-stop rains, rains without halting intents. The verve with which we first acclaimed as a hallmark started fading. The arena for reading insights was almost deserted. The numbers were just some margins after the tenth roman numeral. The rains once again never adhered to our claim. More forcefully, it sprinkled out with defining accuracies. The rains were as pure as the dew and in-depthed with admonitions. The night was ever daring, spectacular and to whisper the least, just befitting. Thunderstorms and lightinings were proudly noticeable but their mission was never violent. The rains finally showed brilliant signs of vanishing. It halted, our plea was heard and our prospects once again came to the lime-light like never before.

Sneaking to Rooms When the Lights Go Out

Teasing done between kids,
Is easy to accept.
It is infectious and expected,
When hormones are set.
And directed.

Teasing done between those elder,
Is coy, cute and fun.
Especially when the sharing of this,
Is in a convalescent home.
With someone,
Wishing to attempt to get something done.

Something that is hoped will provoke,
A sneaking to rooms when the lights go out.
And the best memories are exposed and stroked...
Gently as to not disturb those less fortunate to be touched,
In ways that raises the removal of all doubts.

Mistaken identities

Prejudices come from mistaken identities.
Faith and belief stand from mistaken identities.
Actions are taken from such wrong identities.
Victims are mounting without a recluse.

Be The Sugar

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Walking with an attitude
Im watching how your body moves
Talking with the other boys
I wanna hear you making noise
I think youve got me on your mind
cos you move your body to my side
Im going into overdrive
You look and I can feel the grind
Bridge:
Movin with the light
Youre coming close to the bite
Knowing what you want
I almost feel you kiss me
Chorus:
Be the sugar
And the sweet of the night
Be the honey
The honey warm in the light
Be the lover
Bring the body to life
Be the sugar
Thinking like you explode
You rub your hands down to the bone
And now you touch me warm and fast
You get me ? ? ? , make it last
Bridge
Chorus

Let Us Magnify a Glorious Destiny

'Your peace is not in my vision.
Nor are your discomforts,
In my grasp to hold.
Or become burdened with despair...
You have been taught were yours to behold,
To share.
My radar is in my control!
I see no gain,
In maintaining your shame to claim...
For barter!
My desires may not spark your flame.
But yearnings to burn down barriers...
We might together do,
If together we remain bold!
And step farther beyond restrictions.
To undo what we've been told!
In a patient stagnation.
Let us magnify a glorious destiny...
That you and I can both touch,
And together see.'

Just believe,
You live the life you wish.
And dismiss those obstacles,
Coming to nest upon your path.
Take those dreams,
And make them seem to breathe.
Inhale and receive.
Exhale discomforts.
Make them leave.
Know what you want can and will exist.
Know in your heart what you desire...
Has already been owned.
It has been claimed to be shown.
It is yours to make known.
Just believe,
You live the life you wish.
And dismiss those obstacles that come to sit!
Take those dreams,
And make them seem to breathe.
Yesterday can not be relived.
It is no longer yours to give attention.
Today is what you have earned to live for!
Just believe,
You live the life you wish.
And menacing you will be...
To any appearance of unhappiness.

The connections I draw between human nature and political systems in my new book, for example, were prefigured in the debates during the Enlightenment and during the framing of the American Constitution.

Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
Shes coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, hurry boy, its waiting there for you
Chorus:
Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do whats right
Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti
I seek to cure whats deep inside, frightened of this thing that Ive become
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Hurry boy, shes waiting there for you
Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in africa, I bless the rains down in africa
I bless the rains down in africa, I bless the rains down in africa
I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Siege

Your love threw me
In the land of wonders.
It took me by surprise
From my neck
While I was
At my preferred café,
At my preferred table,
While I was teasing my poems,
While my poems were teasing me.
I forgot my preferred café
And I forgot my preferred table
I forgot my poems
I forgot whom I was teasing
And who was teasing me.
.
Your love surprised me
While I was reading my hand
For luck
And fate.
I forgot my hand,
I forgot my luck,
And I forgot my fate.

Your love invaded me
the same way a tsunami
Invaded the moon
In its ecliptic wedding
With the sun.
I woke up weak
Thirsty,
And thirty million light years faraway
From my birth galaxy.
I forgot the moon,
I forgot the sun,
I forgot the wedding
And I forgot my birth galaxy.

Your love surprised me
Like the Christ surprised the ancient world
I forgot Christ
And I forgot the ancient world.

Herakleitos I

Entendu! Understood!
One cannot step
into the same river twice.
Fresh waters
are eternally
rushing in.
Who passed this way?
And when?

Wait!
Pond river ocean
all are filled
with eternal waters.
In tasting these,
is Liberation not found?

And yet the ancient Dragon sits
in a dried out rock pool
singing for rain!
She has burned her lover's letters.
Will her lover's tears suffice?

And the river is jealous,
resentful of bridges,
imprisoned in pipes
and drainage systems.

Even Neptune rages
with his trident
against the volcano
slyly plotting
under the seabed;
impotently chokes
with pollution,
hungry and overfished.

The gods themselves

have traded eternity
for the ticking of a cosmic clock
which crawls its way
towards the end of the kalpa.

For an alms bowl
of memories.

Our Kiss

lightly brushing, gentle as possible......
teasing, to and froe
gazing....
anticipating-hurting
souls dancing....
longing to merge
gazing....
bridge we must cross
to the ethereal,
lost or home?
don't think

put it this way!
if the bridge cannot be crossed,
then we are just two ety vessels swapping spit

London Bridge Song, The

Joni's lighthearted take on "london bridge" was a crowd pleaser in her mid-sixties club show, before she signed her first recording contract. this transcription includes spoken patter
Combined with her music, enchanted audiences back in the early days when joni was playing the smaller, more intimate venues she has always enjoyed most.
(spoken words are in italics)
London bridge is falling down
See the people in my town
They're the ones who bring it down
(it's true they've been for centuries,
Walking by it and saying, you know,
London bridge really is falling down, poor thing,
It just fell down in shame)
My fair lady-o
London bridge is falling up
Save the tea leaves in my cup
Guess the cup is cracking up
My fair lady-o
(i'll have to get a pyrex one)
London bridge is up for sale
Booze heads put my friend in jail
Spent my bridge money on bail
My fair lady-o
(sure would've like to have bought that bridge)
(couldn't let him go to jail)
If the bridge belonged to me
I would serve you tarts and tea
Smiles, that's all the tolls would be
(don't grant you people would be getting across at all)
My fair lady-o
On the bridge there stands a car
Painted with peculiar flowers
It's the beatles' it's not ours
(guess they're looking at the bridge)
(hope they buy it)
My fair lady-o
London bridge is falling down
(something like that)
London bridge is coming down
Coming down on london bridge
Ice cubes melting in my fridge
(they always, do you know those fridges are terrible, they're always melting things and ice cubes are dripping all over the floor)
(and the vegetables are all rotten and your friend turns to you in her very british way and she says: "you know i paid two bob for this. it smells a bit peculiar doesn't it, but don't you t
.. well, we can serve it anyway" and she does)
Coming down on london bridge
Mutton rotting in my fridge
Coming dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Coming-ming-ming-ming-ming-ming
(a little electronic music there for your pleasure)
Coming down on london bridge
My fair lady-o

Steamy Windows

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
Our systems going overload
The radio blasting in the front seat
Churning out the music fine
And we was snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time
Chorus
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
You can wine and dine with the men all night
With good intent
But theres something about the confrontation on the back road
Breaks down the defense
Chorus
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Aint nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Theres a sound outside the front door
And I know thats just the wind
But it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
Starts things happening again
Repeat chorus

Before The Flood

Why did he promise me
that we would build ourselves
an ark all by ourselves
out in back of the house
on New York Avenue
in Union City New Jersey
to the singing of the streetcars
after the story
of Noah whom nobody
believed about the waters
that would rise over everything
when I told my father
I wanted us to build
an ark of our own there
in the back yard under
the kitchen could we do that
he told me that we could
I want to I said and will we
he promised me that we would
why did he promise that
I wanted us to start then
nobody will believe us
I said that we are building
an ark because the rains
are coming and that was true
nobody ever believed
we would build an ark there
nobody would believe
that the waters were coming

Sparked eyes

Sparked eyes
and I frightened
cried a loud
and flyover the bridge.

This is the time
you have to cross.
I liked desert
having all my
belongings.

Like evening
I am waiting for
the sun that is
with me.

They told me that the hotels had maybe two rooms set up for people with disabilities, but if they got there too late, and didn't get one of these rooms, they couldn't take a shower. The room wasn't hooked up for them, or maybe the sink was too high.
