July heat
it enters right through
the middle of my armpits and keeps the thick hair
confused to the introductory giggle
and then it keeps on staying
on a perspiring state
rushing through the shoulder
blade and keeps the tinge on
the esophagus
this slimy feeling and yet so
delicious to the palate until
it slides direct to the
cozy chamber of
my heart

Laughing
I'm laughing at your funny face
I'm laughing at this funny place
I'm laughing in my space
I'm laughing at a fast pace
I'm laughing and cannot stop
I'm laughing feeling the bop
I'm laughing at your top
I'm laughing with a cop
My stomach hurts
My cheeks are sore
Yet I want to laugh some more
Just want to laugh day and night
Want to laugh 'cause it feels alright
I'm laughing with Pat
I'm laughing at the cat
I'm laughing at the mat
I'm laughing as the cat sat
Giggle, Giggle, Giggle
Giggle, Giggle, Giggle
Giggle, Giggle.

A Few Words Of Praise
to a child who must feel the constant need to be loved
a few words of praise is all enough
you cannot give him a car or a chick
he isn't old enough to drive or to be driven
touch his hair, giggle his armpits
and you will hear his childish laughter
a few words of praise and a heart beat
to a child his day is already complete

Enlightenment
light, there is light,
too light, above my hair,
a little sun floating
above my eyelids,
it settles finally on
my lips as a moon
sits on the the marshes
at night,
the mouth opens
and it enters,
light, swallowed
inside my esophagus
finding its way inside
my heart,
it becomes the steel
core of my being,
a heart so strong now,
ready for another
surrender to love,
so gentle and yet
so objective,
savoring and yet
unaffected.

56
he is in the middle of something
Painful
Choosing between slashing his wrist with a blade
Or firing a bullet in his head
In the middle ambiguities
he stopped
You called.
What if the blade slashed his wrist?
And blood squirted on the Floor like a basin of water
Like falling tears On his cheeks
What if the gun fired?
And his brain spills on his chest
What if you did not call?
It is the middle of pain It is the middle of confusing things
Sometimes, it is the middle That saves.
Luck.

Know?
When looking through the dark, tinge of light,
When looking through the light, tinge of dark,
When piercing through the heart, tinge of hurt,
When brain storming session, tinge of intelligence,
Those who writes a riddle, should know the answer,
Those who do the research, should know the hypothesis,
Those who work in the restaurant, should know to serve,
Those who represent the people, should know the misery,

Heart And Sholder
Wanna cry for you
Would it do any good?
If I rained for you
It would just be water
And the night's with you
And the storm's in your hand
And you're down, and you're down
And I can't lift you
I'm powerless to change your world
I'm powerless to stop the hurt
But I'll give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
Over and over
Wanna run for you
Would it do any good?
If I flew for you
You would still be standing
And it's hard watching
'Cause I'm part of you
And it's hard not to
Not to know what I can do
I'm powerless to change your world
I'm powerless to stop the hurt
I'm trying hard to be your tower of strength
I'm trying hard to bring you back to joy
I'll give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
When the night just cuts you through
And the dream is lost to you
When you're worried and confused
I will give you my heart give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
Over and over
Time and again
Give you my shoulder
I will
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I will
Time and again
Over and over
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder

Beyond The Touch Of Reason
stepping beside the edge of time
reason tiptoes like a swan lake ballet dancer
it slides on the slimy part of the linings of the heart
now limping asking for love
yelping for sympathy

A Complete Poem
i like to start it with a naughty word
like the one that slaps your butt
and you smile and even giggle
(you like it too
you like to simply start with lust)
and then i write more words
something that cares and worries
about you
our future about us in the middle of
this long and lonely journey
and i will put some pauses
a little stop here and there
but i will not be staying for long
there will be interjections
and even emotional bursting
no sobbing
but exclamations of joy
nothing to annoy
but definitely there will be no questions
and then we will be there somewhere
until the strong light begins to slowly fade
and then, of course, you must agree,
and this will be free
surely, i will put a happy ending
red curtains falling with matching music marching
and then later something romantic live a
violin playing with flute accompanying
this fugue of love
yes,
it is all about love & passion
those that conquer all
age and wisdom
and monotony
and then i put on the finishing undertones of faith
this final fidelity
and the color of sunset
and then on a peaceful night
you shall hear
a white dove that coos in its cozy nest
deep down into a very sound sleep....

Confused
I am confused with love and fear.
I am confused with the taste of my tear.
I am confused of where I'll go.
I am confused of what I'll know.
I am confused of whos my family.
I am confused of what makes me happy.
I am confused by what I do.
I am confused of what's true.
I am confused by your touch.
I am confused oh so much.

What To Do When You're Confused
What to do, what to do, what to do
When you're confused
You could
Choose to stay
In this new found state
Of confusion
Marinate in it..so to speak
But
That may leave you
With unanswered questions
You could write in your journal
Pour over all the possibilities
The various solutions to your confusion
You could talk to someone who doesn't know you well
Because you'd want some impartial input
Which could leave you even more confused
Because they can only help you according to
Their understanding
Of your situation
You could google some answers
Turns out..
You can't find the answers to
EVERYTHING
On google
Some situations
Still require old methods for resolution
You could talk to a good friend
They may not have all the answers
But
They'd probably be willing to listen
Provide you with some feedback
That's what friends are for...
You could speak with the person
If it is a person indeed
Who has left you
In this state of confusion
I mean
At some point
Isn't the direct approach
Really
The Only approach
So,
You take a deep breath
You tell yourself 'here I go'
I'm going to get my answers
And, then
I'll know
I won't be confused
At least not by this confusion
What to do, what to do, what to do
I've given you some options
But, I can't tell you
What, for sure, you should definitely do
I can make a suggestion..
But, again it's up to you
You should listen to your inner voice,
Do what THAT tells you
I can say this
It's probably not as bad as you imagine
And, who knows,
It's a possibility
That
After all this stressing
You end up pleasantly surprised.
But we know for sure
You'll have all your answers
And, you, my friend
Will no longer be confused.

All The Fiends Are Out
Nobody's leaking any more
No-one said a thousand times
My brains' been scattered about
Forced to deal with suffering
Making more than I mean
Leave my past behind me
Life... LIFE
Show me show me SHOW ME (3x)
Now the fiends are back in
I'm through with resort
Just one more time
To keep my face in
LIFE
Smile , while the blade slides down your face
Pain, for at least 2 or 3 days
You , dont' you love all your scars
Feel, all the Medicine released
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE (8x)

Her Kiss
He steers hurriedly the hardened handlebar
The light dims out in a cozy red chamber
A door of dreams opens with a moan ajar
A want of breeze lays layer upon layer.
Her dress is colorful but simple and modest
Her jasper hair falls on her white shoulders
He enters her cave beneath the jade forest
An old book on the shelf silently moulders.
Her skin is velvety silk, delicate and smooth
Her eyes brightly glisten, the pearls of Atlantis
One cannot find such jewels in any booth,
Her breasts pomegranates, sweeter than raisins.
Forgive me, he says, for not kissing your mouth
And she smiles and agrees yet somewhat amiss
Then he moves to the door turning to the south
But before he leaves she kisses him on the lips.

Fairground.
Fairground,
Big sound,
Music everywhere.
Great rides,
Brill slides,
Wind blowing through my hair.
Roundabouts,
Ins and outs,
Candy on a stick.
Ups and downs,
Groans and frowns,
Oh no! I'm feeling sick.
Lots of yells,
Cooking smells,
All going on around.
The great rides,
And brill slides,
At the fairground.

It Makes Me Giggle
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the spirit album, and has also been released on the changes and country classics albums.
It makes me giggle
It makes me giggle
Just havin my baby around me
It makes me giggle
Sometimes I wiggle
cause Im so glad she found me
Sometimes I wake up feelin crabby
She gives me love as sweet as candy
It makes me giggle
It makes me giggle
Everytime I see my little boy child
It makes me giggle
Sometimes I wiggle
Sometimes I even jump for joy, child
He knows just how to make me happy
He gives me love and calls me daddy
If I ever felt better I cant seem to recall
It just blows me away to be part of it all
It makes me giggle
It makes me giggle
Just singin these love songs for you
It makes me giggle
Sometimes I wiggle
There aint nothin that Id rather do
Id like to give one to the whole human race
If I ever felt better I cant seem to recall
It just blows me away to be part of it all

Hubris
she comes like air inside your nose
passing through your esophagus
and resides in the chamber of your heart
telling you
you're good, and kind, and the best of the rest
and she makes you feel at home with yourself
until then
she begins to make you feel that the rest should
behave like you
and that this world would have been better if
all people are like you
she makes you feel the arrogance of the mountain
and you become the center of this universe
because you have become the sun
that star

Trying to Leave the Pain
i think of you and every one that has hurt me and lefted me in tears
as i slide that blade across my skin
i think of the pain they all have put on me and on my heart
i think of leaving this pain
i think of every thing that has hurt me
so lost in my mind now
so confused
so much pain
dont know what to do
sliding that blade on my skin
more and more
faster and faster
trying to leave the pain
sighing with hurt
my heart beats faster
still cant stand the pain
i stoped the blade and moved it away from my arm
and slide it across my neck
That Most Beautiful Star
she comes like air inside your nose
passing through your esophagus
and resides in the chamber of your heart
telling you
you're good, and kind, and the best of the rest
and she makes you feel at home with yourself
until then
she begins to make you feel that the rest should
behave like you
and that this world would have been better if
all people are like you
she makes you feel the arrogance of the mountain
and you become the center of this universe
because you have become the sun
that beautiful star from where we have not gone
