“Rainbow Bridge”
A thin membrane in two divides
Hemispheres of a human brain
Thru thought either can decide
To be pristine or profane
Hemispheres direct bodies sides
Right is left and left is right
Occasionally these two collide
When in-synch each half is erudite
For some a Rainbow Bridge forms
That spans between dual-grays
Balanced mind can then perform
Wondrous feat, only Angels play

You have two hemispheres in your brain - a left and a right side. The left side controls the right side of your body and right controls the left half. It's a fact. Therefore, left-handers are the only people in their right minds.
A stroke of insight
The therapist, accompanying her
on that first safari to the Laundromat,
as she gazed at coins that were meaningless,
said 'what’s one and one? '
'What’s a one? ' she replied;
and somewhere, at the back
of life’s circling cycle, wisdom met
with innocence, and cried and laughed...
Early in her recovery,
her brain’s left hemisphere yet to heal,
she could not speak her messages
and yet – both hemispheres collaborating - still
could sing them..
as perhaps, the angels know.

Omega
Are you a prisoner, are you my love
Are your bars metal or mentally wrought
Shadowed forever by grief's cloud above
Poverty, illness or negative thought.
Do you regret that your brain is confined
Captive for life in the bones of your skull
Speech offers limited sharing of mind
Would you think unification less dull?
Yet, every single is already two
Right and left hemispheres, one lonely sphere
Poor company, since they share the same view
Better that souls be divided yet near.
Consciousness parted can know and be known
Coalesced, Mind would be wholly alone.

Angry and Euphoric?
Warring hemispheres of my brain
Left side ecstatic, right side pissed
One side rational, the other insane
Dear Lord, somethings gone amiss

Right Brain-left Brain
Right side is feminine
Left is masculine
Right is intuitive
Left is logical
Right is creative
Left is pragmatic
Right gives life
Left takes life
Both sides required to be whole
Delicate balance that feeds the soul

Loosing My Marbles
There is nothing gilded about my mind-
No golden genius hiding in hushed hemispheres-
No neurons nor dendrites, no short cut to play-
As you listen, the mystery is really all here...
My mind has been in a perpetual frozen state-
My head feels like a boulder in the hills-
A labyrinth leads to its doorway-
A maze of wonder when open -running over the fill! ! !
Filled to the brim melted my head like an ocean-
Where even angels oft' dread to tread-
Even the placid deer feeding at the country creek-
Turn away from the marbles running out of my head! ! !

Change Myself
Half of me wants to knock you out
Half of me wants to tell you that Im sorry, so sorry
Meanwhile, half of the world wants to scream and
Shout at half of the world
Just like you and i
Just another fact of life
We plan and we scheme
til theres nothing left of our little dream
But half of the time I cant decide and
Half of the time Im petrified
I want to change the world
I want to make it well
How can I change the world
When I cant change myself
Try again tomorrow
Id love to change your mind
Capture your citadel
How could I change your mind
If I cant change myself
Try again tomorrow
Both of us want to win this fight
Both of us think the other is mistaken, so mistaken
Meanwhile, everyone wants to take up sides
So everyone helps us to fall apart
Just another fact of life
Its hard to play fair
And its so easy to pretend to care
But if nobody wants to share the blame
Then everyone gets more of the same
If I want more peace in the world
Then I must make peace with myself
If I want more trust in the world
Then Ive got to trust in myself
If I want more love in the world
I must show more love to myself

Most music that you hear is in synch with itself. We were experimenting with the music falling out of synch with itself and even though it is out of synch you mind can still understand what it is meant to be doing.

Cut Up Angels
If we cut out the bad
Well then wed have nothing left
Like I cut up your mouth
The night I stuffed it all in
And you lied to the Angel
Said I stabbed you to death
If we go at the same time
They'll clean up the mess
I lost my head
You couldnt come
This lust to my brain almost feels like a gun
Watched you bite into the bottle
Watched me kick out the chair
Let you chew up the glass
And laughed as you just hung there
I have thought of rose petals mostly perfect and pure
Then I thought of your petals
And the abuse theyve been through
I lost my head
You couldnt come
This lust to my brain almost feels like a gun
You lost your head
I couldnt come
This lust to my brain almost feels like a gun
Whoa whoa
I told the angels
Cant stay in heaven
I asked the devil
If we cut out the bad well then we'd have nothing left
Like I cut up your angels
Yeah you stabbed me to death
I lost my head
You couldnt come
This lust to my brain almost feels like a gun
You lost your head
I couldnt come
This lust to my brain almost feels like a gun

Tears Of Remembrence
After I give up this body and leave Earth,
Who’ll be standing by my cold grave?
As those left before cannot shed tears of grief
That is left to the living who long ago forgave,
The error of my ways, in this life so brief
When spirit lifts skyward, all troubles left behind
A few may shed tears of remembrance
For deeds of mine, good and kind
Unnoticed acts of little consequence

I Jumped Across a Rainbow
I jumped across a rainbow
And left my ego here
Exposed to its reality
As nothingness and fear. I needed all my courage
To take that giant leap
For hypnotized in human dreams
My mind was fast asleep. But when that rainbow beckoned
I walked right through the night
I jumped across the rainbow
And fell into the LIGHT!

Time/Sand
The sundial spells remorse;
The sands in the hourglass,
Half empty, half full,
Prepare defeat,
Dividing the northern and
Southern hemispheres-
Extinct, non-extant time-
Travels of my feet.
Dispels relief.
Dry, dry is the desert
Of the triumphant return of the
Hero, even anything sweet:
Death, dearth, love,
Instant jaw burial,
Scientific discovery,
You & I lying awake,
And fearing nothing
But the future
Anew.

Scientific Angels
Scientific angels help me create
Amygdule, hippocampus on fire
Neurons and neurotransmitters
Wonderful serotonin and endorphins
Frontal lobes like an executive branch
Diagnostic centers where logic blends
Limbic system and neo-cortex
Neuropath ways filled with emotion
Comprehending feelings
Poetry is chemical my friends
Take your vitamin B and C
Let the amino acids flow
Dopamine and the quiet pensive mood
We are wonderfully and fearfully made!
Scientific angels of the hemispheres

When Two Worlds Collide
(murray, bayley, harris )
My telescope looks out
Into the stars tonight
A little speck of light
Seems twice the size tonight
The calculations are so fine
Can it be growing all the time?
Now I cant believe its true
And I dont know what to do
For the hundredth time
I check the declination
Now the fear starts to grow
Even my computer shows
There are no errors in the calculations
Now its happened take no other view
Collision course, you must believe its true
Now theres nothing left that we can do
When two worlds collide
The anger and the pain
Of all those who remain
Two worlds collide
Who will be left alive
No place to hide
When two worlds collide
The anger, the pain
Of those who remain
When two worlds collide
When two worlds collide
So who will survive
Theres no place to hide
When two worlds collide

The day the rainbow cried
I remember the day the rainbow cried
As it was the day my nanny died
I stared in bewilderedness as the colours started to run
For the rainbow was crying as God put away the sun
The angels in heaven all cried with me
As the rain poured down I could no longer see
All alone in the dark I was left to grieve
For along with my Nan the angels would leave

On The Run
Everybodys moving way too fast
Before you blink you better find out whos in your path
Pressures building up on every side
In my heart I know that Ive got nothing to hide
What makes you think that youre the only one
Now I know my troubles have just begun
Chorus:
Im on the run, nobodys stopping me
Im on the run, and theres nobody left on my side
Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Theres not enough time to decide
You never know what the night could bring
Every moment all the angels speaking to sing
Why worry just to save your pride
And all the answers are buried so deep inside
Doesnt take a crystal ball to see the truth
Gonna take a miracle to see this thing through
Chorus:
Im on the run, nobodys stopping me
Im on the run, and theres nobody left on my side
Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Theres not enough time to decide
Im on the run, nobodys stopping me
Im on the run, and theres nobody left on my side
Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Theres not enough time to decide
(instrumental break)
Chorus:
Im on the run, nobodys stopping me
Im on the run, and theres nobody left on my side
Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Im on the run, and you cant say that I havent tried
Im on the run, nobodys stopping me
Im on the run, and theres nobody left on my side
Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Theres not enough time to decide

Inner War
War wages between left n’ right
Deep within the human psyche
As been so for countless years
Satan’s attempt to hide the light
Left n’ right brain shall find balance
Once veils of ignorance are removed
Who we really are shall be revealed
A plan long ago that God approved
Time is ripe when men awaken
Soon after Mother Earth rebels
Harvest comes when tree is shaken
After destroyed where evil dwells
Take heed beloveds’ and rejoice
Freedoms yours…
When all unite in single voice

Counting On You
I dont mind lying if it stops the pain
Theres no use denying, Ive lost the train of thought
I had before I left, now Im alone
The place I left behind, had I known
Im counting on you
Im all around you
Im counting on you to take me home
You sit back in your easy chair and tell me bout the whole affair
You say Im gonna be something some day
It sounds so easy, the way you please me
Well you say Im on the right track
But I think that its time that I get back home
Chorus
Bridge
Something in the wind aint right
Theres something on the faces in the streets at night
There is so much on my mind
Well you say its here in front of me
But its something I cant find no more
Solo bridge(repeat)

Sonnet-On Our Diet
Tis not the quantity but eating speed;
'Tis not the quality but balanced food;
'Tis not the satiety but primal need;
‘Tis not the food that matters but our mood.
Sheer gluttony is sin at any age;
One's labours should decide the quantity;
How much of words can hold a single page?
Let food be by affordability.
The grape is same that gives the juice or wine;
The food is same that prince or pauper eats;
The taste depends on proper sugar, brine;
The mind matters much more than all sweetmeats.
Our food-habits decide our health and feat;
We eat to live; Don't live to eat and eat.

Dust Mites
Microscopic are lives lived like dust mites,
And inhabitants of a world that spins...
As well as speeds through an expansive eternity.
All are fixed to myths and worship beliefs...
To control what is 'thought' to be their destinies.
There is neither top nor bottom in this universe.
Although those living on Earth,
Have declared North and South Hemispheres.
With wind storms churning,
Counter-clockwise in the Northern one.
And clockwise in the Southern.
It is obvious no human has the power,
To control any of this.
Nor how this may relate to the Sun.
And yet conflicts exist,
To prove who has what to benefit 'whom'?
