Not Feeling Like It

how many times
shall you change a word
simply because
you do not feel liking it?

how many times
shall this world of ours be destroyed?

how many times
shall this war be waged shall lives be wasted
in the name of change?

this feeling of
' i want change i want something new'
how many times shall we cut
edges and then feel the pain of
desolation?

now, i must leave a space
at the start of the lines. I protest
one blank line
between the sections.

no link. no connection. how many times
shall you do this to us?

Troubled Times

Troubled times again are here.
It seems they leave, then reappear.
But that's an illusion that's not real.
For some it's always what they feel.

The ones who have no say at all,
hungry, thirsty since they were small.
Their troubled times are nothing new,
not like the ones that we're used to.

We equate these times with the price of gas
and think to ourselves 'this too shall pass.'
We equate these times to climate change
and think to ourselves it's all so strange.

What's strange my friends is how we perceive
that troubled times are just what we receive.
Troubled times are never really gone.
They come to some on each new dawn.

A feeling like this

A feeling like this
~
I hate this feeling
like a child powerless
to change the world about me
I’ve put my heart soul into it
and still feel like I'm failing
I try daily to maintain strength
to to retain a positive outlook
but at times its not so easy
I'd rather hide in bed
beneath the sheets and sleep
where the world can't see me
reach me or speak to me
its the weight of it all
however hard I love someone
its not enough at times
the energy I give to friends
to the projects I enter into
all feels wasted, lost
like it all comes to nothing
and I’m left feeling sorry
wishing I could do better
to change the world about me
I hate this feeling

Samuel and Harold discuss Ovid's dictum

S You look much the same, Harry
H You don’t look much different, Sam
S Though times change
H They don’t stay the same
S Or perhaps they seem to change
H Or seem to be different
S And we change too
H We’re not quite the same
S Though perhaps they only seem to change because we’ve changed
H Perhaps we’re different and they only seem to change
S On the other hand, perhaps times do change and we only seem to change
H Perhaps we only seem to change because times do change
S Or perhaps both change
H Perhaps neither stay the same
S That would make it difficult to tell
H It wouldn’t be easy
S Perhaps you’ve changed and I don’t notice it
H Or perhaps I’ve changed and you don’t notice it
S I feel mostly the same, though
H I don’t feel much different
S Though in some ways I feel different
H I don’t feel quite the same myself
S Life moves on
H It doesn’t stay the same
S Though I’d know you anywhere
H I can’t imagine not knowing you. Anywhere.
S Our plays change, but the dialogue…don’t you think?
H They are different, but the dialogue…as you say..
S Alive or dead… the play doesn’t change…
H Dead or alive…the play stays much the same, , ,
S Though the dialogue…
H Ah yes, the dialogue…
S Yours, for instance…
H Or indeed, yours…
S That dictum of Ovid…
H Ah yes, Ovid’s dictum...
S So true…
H Not untrue…
S Plus ca change... as they say, Harry...
H... plus ca la meme chose, as they say, Sam...

(Curtain)

A Hundred Times Over

A hundred times over words have flowed through my fingers to the keys
A hundred times over I have released the freedom that is in my mind,
A hundred times over I have become one with my inter most longing,
A hundred times over I have taken a journey to show you my own world.
A hundred times over I have written of pain and life, of sorrow and joy,
A hundred times over I have used my art to show you what's in my mind
A hundred times over again I will show you.
A hundred times over I have cried for those, whose names are untold,
A hundred times over I have showed you their pain.
A hundred times over I have become their connection to you,
A hundred times over I have showed you the beauty of our world,
A hundred times over I have taken you somewhere you may never see,
A hundred times over my words have screamed the horror of darkness,
A hundred times over I have sung to you the beauty of light,
A hundred times over I have taken your hand to lead you to a new place
A hundred time over I have written for those who have no words to write
A hundred times over I have tried to show truth in a world of lies,
A hundred times over I have have tried to show the world's beauty,
A hundred times over again I will lead down these paths,
A hundred times over and over again I will show you reality,
A hundred times over and over again I shall show you my world,
A hundred times over and over again until you have memorised truth,
A hundred times over again until you can repeat what I have told,
A hundred times over again shall I create an art of words, time, of life.
A hundred times over again I shall do this,
A hundred times over again.
A hundred times over.

On Betrayal

we often feel as if we've been betrayed...
and we're hurt, angry, scarred, and vindictive...
but the truth is we lead lives of betrayal.
times we fail others, times we fail ourselves.
times when we mean to do the right thing,
and dont follow through.
times we excuse ourselves by
saying we're following our heart.
times we turn away,
and blame it on circumstance.
times we dont dare to do what life demands.
times we choose indifference,
times we think we've already given enough.
times we choose the easy way out.
times we are not grateful...
times we dont forgive but expect forgiveness.
times we dont speak what our heart feels,
until it's too late....

There Are Times

There are times
when life goes topsy-turvy.
There are times
when we are full of dismay.
There are times
when pebbles dropped in water
can be felt across the bay.
There are times
when life gets a little crazy
and we know not which way to turn.
There are times
when everything is rosy
and in everyone’s life, there is sunshine.
There are times
when you feel lazy
and want the world to roll on by.
There are times
your world is filled with laughter.
There are times
when you want to
just sit down and cry.
There is a time for everything
and it will happen when it wants to.
We can only live from day to day
and take these times when they happen.

We Are Here To Change The World

(from captain eo)
Were on a mission
In the everlasting light that shines
A revelation
Of the truth in chapters of our minds
So long, bad times
Were gonna shake it up and break it up
Were sharing light brighter than the sun
Hello , good times
Were here to simulate, eliminate
An congregate, illuminate
(we are here to change the world)
Gonna change the world, hee
(we are here to change the world)
Gonna change the world, ooo
So do surrender
cause the powers deep inside my soul
Sing it
(we are here to change the world)
Gonna change the world, sing it
(we are here to change the world)
Hee, gonna change the world, ooo
(we are here to change the world)
Were gonna change the world, girl
(we are here to change the world)
My brothers my brother na
Were gonna change the world
(we are here to change the world)
Hee, deep down in my body,
Deep down in my soul, baby
(we are here to change the world)
Hee, were gonna change the world,
Ooo

With Change Comes Pain

With change comes pain, branches hit on the roof
where at a time you could sit on the porch,
the garden is falling into disrepair, with weeds everywhere,
roses and lavender bushes are only growing at places
and turned into yourself you take life at ease.

In loneliness you decide to move,
with the emptiness in the big house almost suffocating you,
at times you want to fall on the bed and cover your eyes,
with change comes pain.

At times things go out of control, so intensely that you gasp for breath,
it feels as if everything is declining, you feel like a wreck,
are walking from empty room to empty room,
with a feeling that you can die;
with change comes pain.

Times…They Change

Times…They Change

Nothings the same
From the time we open our eyes,
Till the time we shut them,
Time’s Change

Every Morning &
Every Night might Seem the same,
But
Time’s Change

We believe that one day we will achieve something
But fail to achieve as,
Times Changed

Existentialism is what I learnt,
But Duality became fate
Only to realize
Times..They Change..

So Connected To You

There are times when I'm happy
and times when I'm sad
and all of these times that I have had
are all connected to you,
so connected to you.
so connected to you.

There are times when it's sunny
and times when it's not
and all of these times I never forgot
were all connected to you,
so connected to you.

'Cause you have my heart on a string
and I can't control one little thing.
Where's my composure? Where did it go?
'Can't even answer for I don't know.

There are times when I'm jumpy
and times when I'm still
and times when I'm playful
like Jack and Jill.
And they're all connected to you,
so connected to you.

So what do I do to get over you?
You've got me crazy in love with you.
I take a step forward and fall back two
and everywhere that I go
there'll be times when I want you
and times when I don't.
There'll be times that I'll have you
and times that I won't
but there's absolutely nothing I can do
'Cause I'm connected to you,
so connected to you
So I know we can never be through.

Love apart

We look at the same moon,
we look at the same sun,
we look at the same stars,
just at different times…

We are on the same planet,
We like the same things
We have the same feelings
Though we are far apart…

We can’t change the moon – there is only one.
We can’t change the sun – there is just one.
We can’t change the stars – we just have these.
but we can change the times – we just have to meet.

We can’t change the planet – we just have one earth
We can’t change the things – we like what we like
We can’t change our feelings – time doesn’t heal love!
But we can change the distance – we can move!

These lines are for Ivan,
The love of my life!
though far apart for years,
Our love still survived,

We belong together,
We both know it's true
Always and forever!
Ivan, I really love you!

Remember The Good

Mickey newbury
Yes, I suppose at times
I think about her
She was once so much a
Part of me
Heaven knows Ive learned to
Live without her
And hell, it was, at times
It was a painful memory
But for all it matters now, if it does
For all that tried to be, but never was
For all the times Ive tried,
I wouldnt change it if I could
For all she meant to me, Ill remember the good
Ill forget the bad
All the good times weve had
Wont make me quite so sad
When Im remembering
And for all the times Ive tried,
I wouldnt change it if I could
For all she meant to me, Ill remember the good
For all she meant to me, Ill remember the good.

Times Like These

Baby, will you be my girl
Kristi, will you be my girl
Ill take you to a better place,
Theres no pain and no disgrace in a perfect world
Well drive that ragtop cadillac
Well drive that ragtop cadillac
Straight across the nevada line
Radio playin hair flying
No turning back
Chorus
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Baby, I live for times like these
Give me a reason to believe
For a moment times stands still
For a moment times stands still
I feel no shame, I feel no violence
For the moment and in the silence
I feel that peace.
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Baby, I live for times like these
Give me a reason to believe
Solo
Sun rises in the east
Sun rises in the east
For a moment in your eyes,
I catch a glimpse of a different life
Smile at fate
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Baby, I live for times like these
Give me a reason to believe
Theres no famous final scene, no movie starts
No limousines, everything well leave behind
Theres no waiting on the other side
Just you and me for a better place
I swear I live for times like these
Youre all I need
Thats all I need
Youre all I need

Some Times I Feel Like...

Some times I feel like a ship gently sailing on the ocean
Some times I feel like I’m an owl hooting in the dark
Some times I feel like I’m alone in this Big Cold world
Some times I feel like no one cares
Some times I feel like I walk alone on a dark trail leading nowhere
Sometimes I feel like a ship droning in the Deep Dark Ocean…

My Love

Oh how I wish I could save the times
that I have spent with you.
For if you leave I could take them out
and have them to review.

But since it is not the way things work
I must remember in my mind
All the times I could not save
and never leave any behind,

The times when we laughed, the times when we cried
and the times we just were still,
The times we embraced, the times we faced
when both of us were ill.

Not enough time is the time we have
and so it will run out.
So we must make them count and never forget
what we were all about.

Desperate Times

(tom snow/barry alfonso)
Never thought it would be so rough
And i wonder if i have enough
To keep from breaking down
No mercy in this town
Every day is just another test
Seems i'm always second best
But you learn along the way
That's the price you have to pay
I try to stay defiant
Be tough and self-reliant
Though i get tired to the bone
Love is just a wish you keep inside
How's it gonna help me to survive?
Looks like i'm in this fight alone
And i'm livin' in desperate times
Being alive's my only crime
Don't care what i have to do
I'll find some way to make it through
Oh, and i'm livin' in desperate times
And it's too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run
Innocents get taken in
By the promise of an easy win
You start out so naive
So eager to believe
But the glitter of the city lights
Only covers up a lonely night
Of strangers slamming doors
You're hungry and ignored
I've faced the competition
I've made the hard decisions
Will it be worth it in the end?
Taking any chance that comes along
Getting hard to tell what's right or wrong
I only wish i had a friend
And i'm livin' in desperate times
Being alive's my only crime
Don't care what i have to do
I'll find some way to make it through
Oh, and i'm livin' in desperate times
And it's too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run
And i'm livin' in desperate times
Being alive's my only crime
Don't care what i have to do
I'll find some way to make it through
Oh, and i'm livin' in desperate times
And it's too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run
And i'm livin' in desperate times
Being alive's my only crime
Don't care what i have to do
I'll find some way to make it through
Oh, and i'm livin' in desperate times
And it's too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run

Sometimes and Most of the Times

Sometimes I disagree,
but most most of the times, I confess that I am

Sometimes I assume,
But most most of the times, I confident the things are

Sometimes I ignore,
but most most of the times, I notice the way one thinks

Sometimes I conceal,
but most most of the times, I reaveal as I am

Sometimes I act,
but most most of the times, I show what is the real in Me

Sometimes I lie,
but most most of the times, I stand as Honest

Sometimes I hate,
but most most of the times I like the way one likes Me

How Many Times

*how many tears have you cried
How many eyes have you dried
How many ways have you tried
And dont you get tired of people sayin
How many times, how many times
How many dream have been bad
How many nights have been sad
How many days have you had
When you get tired of people sayin
How many times, how many times
How many times, how many times

I said tired of people sayin
Dont you get tired of people sayin
How many times, how many times
How many times, how many times
How many times, times, times, times

Sometimes

Sometimes..
I wish I would have met you in a different time, a different place
Sometimes..
I wish you really knew how I felt
Sometimes..
I wish you could just read my mind
Sometimes..
I wish things were different
Sometimes..
I wish I had told you how I feel
Sometimes..
I wish I had let you in
Sometimes..
I wish you could feel how I feel
Sometimes..
I wish you had tried harder
Sometimes..
I wish you wouldn't have given up
Sometimes..
I wish you would just be straight with me
Sometimes..
I wish we had a different method of communication
Sometimes..
I misunderstand what you are trying to say
Sometimes..
I over react
Sometimes..
I am so utterly confused
Sometimes..
I'm so frustrated with you
Sometimes
I wish you didn't mean as much to me as you do
Sometimes
I wonder what my life would be like
If I had never met you..
Because
Difficult as it is my friend,
I hope we can remain
Good friends
Sometimes
I wonder if it means as much to you
Sometimes
I push you away
Sometimes
I wish we could just fight
Sometimes
I wonder what making up would be like with you
Sometimes
Your methods of communication or the lack there of
Leave me alone with my thoughts
And, that's just not good
Sometimes
Sometimes
I'm amazed by you
Sometimes
I'm glad it's you
Sometimes
A lot of the time
I can't help myself
I think of you
Sometimes
I write poems, like this
Sometimes
I think you know
Sometimes
I wish..
It's just
Sometimes
Many times
I wish you wouldn't hold your self back
Many times
I wish you would say...something
Many times
I wish I could go back in time
Many times
I wish I would have said yes for all the times I said I couldn't
Many times
I wish you would just make me
Tell you
What you already know
Some times I wish you knew
How many times a day
I think of you.

I Don't Think So

I Don't Think So
We've been through this time together
AlI in my mind the love was so alive
Oh I never wanted for another
Then I saw the beginnings of a Iie
Good times and the bad times
Through the good times and the bad times with me
Good times and the bad times
Yeah I wonder why I never see
Good times and the bad times
Oh maybe there was always something wrong
Good times and the bad times
Did l wait too long
Chorus:
You said you'd love me for all of your life
I don't think so
Through the best of the best and the worst of the times
I don't think so
You said the world was a beautiful place
l don't think so
You swore the love was perfectly sale
I don't think so
People can only stay together
If in their hearts they know they can say what's on their minds
Would you say
Good times and the bad times
If it can't really be then I gotta move on
Good times and the bad times
Is it really time
Chorus: (repeat)
Said the check's in the mail and the maiI's on time
I don't think so
Said out of touch ain't out of mind
I don't think so
Couldn't live without me, and that's a fact
I don't think so
Love is real and it's not an act
I don't think so
Come on
Good times and the bad times
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
Baby our love was a beautiful thing
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
You said you'd love me for all of your life
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
Through the best of the best and the worst of times
I don't think so
l don't think so baby oh baby oh baby come on
I don't think so
The love was right but the loving was wrong
