Unrequited....
not everything that shines is a
fluorescent bulb
there is also an incandescent heart
that we point into
when we get so mad
because we are
rejected by the one
we love.

Love Shines
You've got a sweet heart
Never will you be replaced
And it's so hard
The memory can't be erased
Love shines when I think of you
You make it happen
You make it true
(love shines)
Love shines there can be no doubt
What this feeling is all about
Oh baby your
Love shines, love shines so bright
(so bright)
Did you know your
Love shines, love shines so bright
(on and on and on)
On and on it will always be
Rhythm, rhyme, and harmony
Yeah, baby your
Love shines, love shines tonight
(tonight)
You cast a spell
A magical revelation
And I see so well
My ultimate destination
Love shines when I think of you
You make it happen
You make it true
(love shines)
Love shines there can be no doubt
What this feeling is all about
Oh baby your
Love shines, love shines so bright
(so bright)
Did you know your
Love shines, love shines so bright
(on and on and on)
On and on it will always be
Rhythm, rhyme, and harmony
Yes, baby your
Love shines, love shines tonight
(tonight)
After all the reckoning
After all the promises
All the darkness in my heart
Has gone away
Gone away
(on and on and on)
So on and on it will always be
Rhythm, rhyme, and harmony
Yes, baby your
Love shines, love shines tonight
Oh don't you know your
Love shines, love shines so bright
Oh baby your
Love shines, love shines so bright

The shining. For Tara.
It shines.
It shines from the new-born baby;
shines in the magic of birth.
It shines in first love;
in lasting love.
It shines in laughter,
in tears of sadness,
in tears of joy.
It shines in wisdom,
shines in goodness,
shines as beauty.
It shines in the held breath
of the peace of dawn about to break;
it shines in the stillness
of the hour of sunset.
It shines as life.
There is no limit to its shining
except the denying of it
and even then,
it shines
Since you know it so well,
does it need a name?
A name perhaps, to praise?
Nameless, known to all,
beyond all praise,
it shines.

The untold love
The love expressed
Only can be rejected.
The love withheld
Cannot be rejected.
There are more people
Who haven’t let their love
Lest it gets rejected.

Little Star
Little star, dreaming of the night and sky
So alone living above and beyond
Under the crescent moon, so peacefully
Little star, gleaming within sight so high
So well known for your love and solar bond
Under the fluorescent lune so calmly
Little star, streaming with bright cosmic ties
A lonesome dove within the wishing pond
Under A quiescent tune sung softly
Little star, beaming lightly and nearby
A cyclone of trove and heavenly monde
Under the incandescent harvest-moon
Little star, of the holy northern edge
Sweet slumber, under a spiral of dreams

I get mad at people who talk about traumatic job interviews, about going on one and getting rejected. I get rejected all the time and not only do I get rejected, but people have no problem being really specific about why I was rejected.

Succor....
This is also a reality,
you can't say
it is peculiar
for me, it is
a common occurrence,
A dimming light
from an incandescent bulb
in a room dressed up
in darkness
look closely!
someone is engrossed
with a book
that promises to relinquish
him from the grip
of poverty and anguish
that it will
pull out the nails
driven to the palm
of our daily deaths
Now and again
to appease the pain
he shall place the sun
or
the moon, and the stars
or the blue
crystal ball
on the crimson ceiling
shrouded as he begins
to write his
verses
but when the weary eyes
and wounded heart say
that it is enough
we give up,
soon
the windows will open again
letting in the wind
to sing its songs
again

Switch on the light, please
I always rise from a fall
From the floor I lift my bottom
Up this table
And from this table I stand
And reach this ceiling
It is dark and you simply sit there
Like a blind creature
Learning to live & even love
♥
This darkness
You keep telling me about your
Broken dreams
The walls enclosing you
The wails of the past
Screaming at you
Up here I hold this
Fluorescent bulb
And put it on the socket
On the ceiling and now
It is finally done & ready
To have light however
It is still you
Who must stand
Move to that dark corner
And then switch on
This tiny thing

Oh How She Shines
(doug johnson/pat bunch)
Darling I have a true confession
I ran into an old flame today
You wouldnt like the way our conversation
Turned to how we let each other slip away
I was reminded of a half forgotten feeling
One I shared with her so long ago
Since honesty is one thing we believe in
Let me tell you something you should know
Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
There was a time when she was all that mattered
Long before I gave my heart to you
But standing there only inches from her
She touched my hand and suddenly I knew
If there was a time I ever doubted
What Id do if she walked through my door
Could I turn around and leave without her
With all my heart now I can say for sure
Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
Oh how she shines

The great challenge working on this show for me is wearing polyester all day long and having the worst haircut known to man at the top of my head and sitting under fluorescent lights. That is America, people. Polyester, bad haircuts, under fluorescent lights.

In a hall, lit with a bulb and a lamp,
Moths smother the brightest.
The bulb off, moths go to the lamp.

One Broken Heart For Sale
(words & music by otis blackwell - winfield scott)
Who wants to buy a heart
One broken lovers heart
One broken heart for sale
Well, excuse me if you see me crying like a baby
Since she rejected me
Theres nothing left to save me
Hey cupid, where are you?
My heart is growing sadder
That girl rejected me
Just when I thought I had her
She would not listen to the things my heart was saying
She turned and walked away
And told me I was playing
Some guys have all the luck
And my heart hasnt any
I think Ill paint a sign
For sale for a penny

Psalm 118
O give thanks to the Lord for He is good
And His mercy shall never end
When I cried to the Lord in my distress
I discovered a King and a friend
Forever and ever I will trust in the Lord
And hide beneath the shadow of His wings
It's better to trust in the Lord your God
Than to trust in princes and kings
Open a door that no man can shut
And with praise I will enter in
Open your heart O Father above
And invite me deep within
You were discarded and rejected by man
And you died on a tree all alone
They had no idea they rejected the Lord
And you became the chief cornerstone
Now the sun it shines on a brand new day
And for this we will always rejoice
We will sing of the glories of our risen King
We will make a joyful noise

A Light Bulb To Light Our Dark World That I Wish Painted In Red And Black
yes, a light bulb to light our world
these dark worlds
outside and inside us
yes, a light bulb, a single light bulb
to brighten these dark worlds
inside and outside us
it is only the Great God
who can switch it on
who can switch it right.
and so, okay, okay, let there be light
from this single bulb
of my innocence
Let there be light forevermore.

There in the Sky
There in the sky
Lies a simple cloud,
Plain, white, but proud.
There in the sky
Come down some rain,
Cold, wet, and mundane.
There in the sky
Shines the bright sun,
Warm, brilliant, but only one.
There in the sky
Glows the mellow moon,
Gleaming, incandescent, yet changing.
There in the sky
Millions of stars beam,
Small, big, or in the middle.
There in the sky
What ever could that be?
It is whatever you see...
Old Flower
She is a flower given
in rainy hours
in her is ocean-ness
moving soft winds before her;
floating lightly
shiny new soul blooming
untouched by sentiments darkly
all experience her delight
having never known mean love
only love requited.
Joy seldom comes to the stapled heart
her's has never been.
I am older than she
aged older than my years
mangled innocence
unrequited
the winter bulb
underground
she is summer's sun
warming waters.
I ask her if
her heart,
and my dark bulb
can yet be fertile?
What irony
meeting brings
in words wandering
'cross pages
when individuals
invest
their souls
and their best
summer flailings.
So rare the soul not potted yet
not yet a bulb a'growing
yet wise enough
to love the flower
covered by
winter ground
frozen.
Whisper me
just one word
your soul's summer smells
inhaled
bouquet refreshing
my dusty soil
my winter eyes ungreying
stirred still
by youthful seeds
yours
which arrive with summer's souling
on summer winds
whose innocence
coax old flowers
mine
into fitful starts
re-blooming
in instant's remembering
but destined in the next
to extinguish
happily.

It Was an English Ladye Bright
It was an English ladye bright,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
And she would marry a Scottish knight,
For Love will still be lord of all.
Blithely they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
But they were sad ere day was done,
Though Love was still the lord of all.
Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
Her brother gave but a flask of wine,
For ire that Love was lord of all.
For she had lands both meadow and lea,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And he swore her death, ere he would see
A Scottish knight the lord of all.
That wine she had not tasted well
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell,
For Love was still the lord of all!
He pierced her brother to the heart,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall:--
So perish all would true love part
That Love may still be lord of all!
And then he took the cross divine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in Palestine;
So Love was still the lord of all.
Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
Pray for their souls who died for love,
For Love shall still be lord of all!

The Love Of The Unknown
mankind has invented the love of the unknown.
unknown has no face. Or if it has, it is masked.
only the eyes can be viewed, and the one viewing it has no
emotions.
it is honored. Loving the unknown is fame.
The mask is glorified.
One does not reveal
what love is, no one has it anyway.
the whole face is wrapped
the other stands without a heart
by the door.
the only sun there is the bulb
and shadows make their show.
Pity looks at you with pity.
This the hour for giving and
forgiving.
You take a body, like you take God.
It is given with another cup of blood,
and then the ceremony begins.
at the end both are satisfied.
names are not called. The bulb is turned off.
The time for departure has come.
The rule is still: secrecy,
this is the meeting place of the mundane
and the divine,
the giver and the recipient,
respect and honor is there
leaving a door and then locking it forever.

Love Me Till The Sun Shines
You dont have to look at me
You dont have to smile at me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You dont have to cook for me
You dont have to laugh with me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Take my money, I dont mind
You can be such a helpless kind[? ]
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You dont have to sleep with me
Or rest your head upon my knee
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Baby you can wear my clothes,
Play my records, stay at my home
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
You can take it, I dont mind
Please dont be such a helpless kind
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Baby, baby I dont know what Im doing
Everything I do it turns to ruin[? ]
Baby you can kiss my friends
Baby theres nothing that Ill end[? ]
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
You dont have to walk the streets
When theres someone waiting here
Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines
Come on, baby, I dont mind
Two lonely people, the helpless kind[? ]
Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines
You dont have to look at me
You dont have to smile at me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You dont have to cook for me
You dont have to laugh with me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Take my money, I dont mind
You can be such a helpless kind[? ]
You just have to love me till the sun shines
