Do Not Fool Me Again
to choose between
the sweetest lie
and the bitterest
truth,
the way you
evaded me
i guess
you have chosen
the former.
I have found my heart
finally in the desert of time
i let it dry there and do not wish to take it back with me,
no one keeps something bitter
you see
do not attempt to fool me again
you do not know what a heartless man can do.

Sour And Salty Taste
to choose between

the way you

you have chosen
the former
my truths
are never sweet
i am also
both salty and

An Afternoon Poem
it is all coffee without cream
no sugar, you say please, no sugar no cream
it is all about cold bread
nothing electrifying
unlike the softness of the arms of the beloved
it is about the coldness of bread
and the hotness of coffee
less the cream and the sugar
nothing sweet really
you guess it: there is something bitter
not from the water (for why should water be bitter?)
not from the cup (is there such a cup which has a bitter taste?)
guess further: you are wrong.
it is bitter, it is really bitter.
it comes from the heart. Not from the saucer
or the spoon.
it is the heart that is bitter. do not attempt
tasting it.
it can be toxic because it is mine.

The Desert Is In Your Heart
producer for bonnie: ?
Recorded in 1992 for sophie arbaniti 's album 'parafora', lyrics taken from
Careful listening.
First half of this song is in greek...so your guess is as good as mine - here's
The english part...
You move the veil from your face
And escape from the world that is hurting
You feel oppressed when you know
That the words are killing the meaning
There is no reason to hide in the dark
When you're far from the fighting
How can you dream in a world that is getting greyer than grey?
You don't have to hide your face, there's no disgrace
There's no harm in knowing that we're all a part of the human race
You have got to lift your head, think of what he said
You were born to know the truth, nothing but the truth, and what the truth is
Worth
Oh, the desert is in your heart
In your heart
The desert is in your heart
In your heart
It's so hard to try to forget
So many thinks you regret
You try to look back, but there's little to see
Just nothing can't take this pain from me
Oh, the desert is in your heart
In your heart
You don't have to hide your face
There's no disgrace
There's no harm in knowing we're all a part of the human race
You have got to lift your head, think of what he said
You were born to know the truth, nothing but the truth, and what the truth is
Worth
Oh, the desert is in your heart
In your heart
The desert is in your heart
In your heart
(greek)
In your heart
(greek)
The desert is in your heart
(greek)
The desert is in your heart
(greek)

What Goes Around
I have a peace of mind,
That took a while for me to find.
When I was there for you...
You could care less,
About that mess I was going through.
In fact you even told me,
'Keep strong and stay up! '
You even insisted,
what I 'had' experienced
Was easy enough...
For me to dismiss!
And I should take my medicine,
With shut and silent lips.
And now that you have lost,
All that you have 'owned'.
You believe you can come to me
With your sighs, groans and moans.
But you don't realize,
The many years I did suffering
Alone!
With no one to see or hear my cries,
Shown!
Back up!
Guess what?
I have a peace of mind,
I struggled in time to find!
Back up!
Guess what?
I don't wish to be rude.
Neither disrespectful or crude.
But you've made your own decisions...
As you did!
With your attempts to endorse me
As the neighborhood fool!
However...
I am not going to be that cruel to you.
Back up!
Guess what?
I already know...
What goes around,
Comes around!
And I can see,
You are providing me,
Personal living proof!
It's good to know...
You value 'something'
Connected to truth!
But back up!
Guess what?
I could be nasty.
But like you...
That is not what I choose to do!

Friendship and enmity
Events may turn friends into enemies
And enemies into friends in due course.
The sweetest would be the bitterest and
The bitterest, the sweetest in relations.

Congratulations
(dave gibson, patti stephens)
Congratulations
You made a fool out of me
I hope youre happy
So now just let me be
I might be slow to lovers
But I catch on eventually
Congratulations
You made a fool out of me
Anticipation
You kept me waiting in line
Your situation did not allow you time
So Id sit home alone
Pretending someday youd be mine
Congratulations
You made a fool of me this time
Then he played it smart
You stole my heart
And tore my world apart
Guess you always knew
Id be the perfect fool
Congratulations baby
You win, I lose
Imagination
The way I dreamed it could be
Ooo, the sweetest sensation
Of how you made love to me
But now the visions gone
Its time to face reality
Congratulations
You made a fool out of me
Congratulations
You made a fool out of me

Borrowed Time
(olivia newton-john)
I saw the light but it was too late, too late
I wanted to fight but it was too great, too great to fight it
Guess Im loving on borrowed time
Didnt know that you could not be mine
Im the fool I guess
Im the fool I guess
I started to cry but I was cried out, cried out
Cause you opened my eyes but with the light out
I couldnt see it
Guess Im loving on borrowed time
Didnt know that you could not be mine
Im the fool I guess
Im the fool I guess
I begged you to leave her but it was too late, too late
Cause though you have deceived her
You knew that shed wait
Shed wait forever
Guess Im loving on borrowed time
Didnt know that you could not be mine
Im the fool I guess
Im the fool I guess
Guess Im loving on borrowed time
Didnt know that you could not be mine
Im the fool I guess
Im the fool I guess
Oh baby, Im the fool I guess
Oh now, Im the fool I guess

I Finally Found My Way To You
So many people tried to help me on my way
So little time and theres still so much left to say
Theres no explaining all the things that Ive been through
But Ive finally fount my way to you
I finally found my way to you
Now the day is endhing and the night begins to fall
Sometimes I wonder if Ill make it back at all
I gave up everything I had and ever knew
But I finally found my way
Finally found my way
I finally found my way to you
Remember how we used to hide away
Wed share the secrets of our souls
Turn down the lights and dance the night away
Wed dance the night away
Wed dance the night away
Remember how we used to hide away
Wed dance the night away (x 4)
And now Ill hold you like I never have before
Ill let you go just long enough to lock that door
The words I whisper come so late and overdue
But I finally found my way, I finally found my way
I finally found my way to you
To you baby.

This Is The Sweetest Suicide
life goes on
just another day
this is the sweetest suicide
blood pours out
of my open wounds
this is the sweetest suicide
the haunting smiles
and heartless laughter
this is the sweetest suicide
the pills are counted
the knife is sharp
this is the sweetest suicide
the letter placed
my final breath
this is the sweetest suicide
and now at last
i say goodbye
this is the sweetest suicide

3 Part Poem
Many a time things happen
We know in our heart it is so
but chosen not to believe
N when the news of it finally come
We fall apart cause we had a feeling
it is so n chosen not to believe
Had we chosen to believe
Can it be avoided in time
I dun think it will be so
Things often happen for a reason
We know not but may in the future
when we think back to now
Like the old folks often know
When it is their time to go
Weather it is peaceful or not
Time to go is time to go
weather we want it or not
Like Grandma seem to have know
the day before she pass away
She seem okay but like she knew
it was time to go she had ask us to take care
but i was not there, as some of us were not
It was a sad time but it had pass
I had remember her telling me once
Girl u can do anything if u want
I have kept it in my heart those words she say
N still can't help feeling sad when
I think of those words she say

I walk with you once again....
I walked with you once again in a dream
i finally found out the truth
my history your history
hard to grasped in my hand
like the power i hold
did not cause to belong
you choose for me
now i realize that every time i open
my eyes you will not be there to caught me
when i fall, to help adjust to the life
you arranged for me
but every time i close my eyes i fell bliss
remembering the times we had together
the things you have taught me
they life you have set up for me
you knew that i would be protected now
i know why you would call me the
'Chosen One'

Heartless
Can't you see he's the heartless
Your pain is not love
He's taking it too far
Don't you know it is wrong
You're the one for me lady
You're the one
If you'd only see in my heart
You'd know all is not lost
Your time is running out
And you still haven't made up your mind
Can't you see he's the heartless
And you're one of a kind
He's the heartless
You can't see he's the heartless
Your pain won't ever be love
It doesn't matter how hard you try
To you all is lost
He's the heartless

After Joy Comes Misery
I am the sweetest Fool ever known
A Black soul of love unsown
A description so strange, you wonder why
To tell you the truth, you’d begin to cry
For I do love a lover’s love
So limitless like the sky above
But even the sky has an end
Where nothingness and darkness starts it trend
So I guess my love limits has finally reach
And the holes in my heart has spoken their speech
And shown me to embrace the loving hate
It also brings joy and happiness, in of its own state
You may be confused, the loving hate?
It’s a dish served cold on a black plate
It’s as mellow and sweet as a home cook meal
It’s the feeling of no feeling, a deal of no deal
With its joy loneliness is around the corner
Oh how I wish this dark joy can last much longer
But all good things must come to an end
And once again sadness becomes my friend
Joy always goes whether it’s good or dark
Circle of life, Oh what a heartless track
After joy comes sorrow and sorrow brings misery
No matter how you run misery is always misery
I have enjoyed the joy of living clean
Enjoyed the joy of the darkness within
But both left me shattered like a priceless vase
Forgotten like a poor man criminal case
So this I say this, enjoy your joy
For misery comes like a childhood toy

If I look back into time
I guess I must have been a fool
But all I ever did was never stop the need in you?
And I love all of you
But you just crossed the line
And now your energy is mine
And I care about myself?
If I look back into time
I guess I must have been a fool
But all I ever did was never stop believing you?
And I love all of you
But you just crossed the line
And now your energy is mine
And I care about
And I love all of you
Well never know the truth
And I care about
And I love all of you
Well never know the truth

Heartless Land
I know the world is full of light
So why cant things just work out right
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
It used to be so full of love
But now its only push and shove
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
From deep inside, where love must lie
No need to play the perfect fool
Stand up for love, break the rule
Oh come with me
You know that you can
I see the sky, I see the ground
Whats in between must now be found
There is no life
Inside this heartless land
Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
Somewhere in your soul
Where love must lie
And I say ... come to the light
Everyday is getting closer
To your sweet surrender
Out of the cold
cause I found a way
That we can fly forever
With direction and peace of mind
The river will flow
Come to the light, my love
cause I need you here
I need you here tonight
The chains of love they run so deep
But the hand that writes the law is weak
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
cause its the place the broken go
The place that we dont want to know
There is no love
Inside this heartless land

He'll Never Be
98 degrees he'll never be...(what i used to be to you)
I heard you found yourself a new man
And you say you're as happy as can be
No one can play the game like you can
But does he give you everything you need
But in good time
You're gonna find
You're eyes were closed
And your heart was blind
Now it's too late to change your fate
Cause there's no way he'll ever take my place.
He'll never be
What i used to be to you
So if you wanna play the fool
Then make that move
And do what ya gotta do
You'll never find
A heart that is half as true
I guess you really never knew
But soon you'll see
That he'll never be
What i used to be to you
Does he even have a notion
Of what you really feel inside
Are you going through the motions
Livin' a lie like you're satisfied
But late at night
You realize
There's somethin' tellin' you it just ain't right
It's not the same
Am i to blame
And when you're with him
Do call my name
He'll never be
What i used to be to you
So if you wanna play the fool
Then make that move
And do what ya gotta do
You'll never find
A heart that is half as true
I guess you really never knew
But soon you'll see
That he'll never be
What i used to be to you
I gave you all my love
What were you thinking of
Guess it was just a game
It's all the same to you
Too late to try again
This story's at an end
It's time for movin' on
Now what ya gonna do
He'll never be
What i used to be to you
So if you wanna play the fool
Then make that move
And do what ya gotta do
You'll never find
A heart that is half as true
I guess you really never knew
But soon you'll see
That he'll never be

Chorus:
One look at you
And just look at me
Held under your spell
So helplessly
Yes Im still your fool
Any fool can see
One look at you
And just look at me
I thought Id be over you by now
But I guess its too soon
The truth was so plain to see
Tonight when you walked in the room
I just couldnt control the tears
When I saw you again
My love is still as strong for you
As its ever been

Im still your fool
Guess Ill always be
One look at you
And just look at me

The Kind Of Fool Love Makes
Anyone can read the sign
Or the writing on the wall
Its all right there to see
Except someone like me
Who cant see the truth at all
It takes a special kind of fool
To stand out in the rain
Somewhere in between
Nothing left to lose
Nothing to be gained
(chorus)
What kind of fool does it take
To go on loving alone
Like theres some answer in the ruins
Some silver lining to be found
An even bigger fool might think
That you would care if my heart breaks
Before the time that I admit
Im just the kind of fool love makes
A wiser one would see
Nothings gonna change
Theres a time for giving up
A time for letting go
To learn from our mistake
But I keep holding onto hope
In spite of everything I know
What kind of fool does it take
To go on loving alone
Like theres some answer in this ruin
Some silver lining to be found
It takes a bigger fool to think
That the dawn will never break
On this day that I admit
Im just the kind of fool love makes
On this day that I admit
Im just the kind of fool love makes
