X1
the conversation last night
was the beginning of our own claim
that after all
our words do not really speak
for ourselves,
that what we are, shall,
remain unannounced,
we keep it, like an opinion,
we have diaries, with black
hard covers, that every night
we open and
make some more
Notes,
there are surprises within
without, there are only the boredom
of routines
i am not responsible for
what you believe,
i am only, a limited territory
for what i am.

Beginning To See The Light
(reed)
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Some people work very hard,
But still they never get it right.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Now Im beginning to see the light.
Wine in the morning
And some breakfast at night.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Here we go again
Playing the fool again.
Here we go again
Acting hard again.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Now Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Im beginning to see the light.
I wore my teeth in my hands
So I could mess the hair of the night
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Hey Im beginning to see the light.
I met myself in a dream
And I just wanna tell you - everything was alright
Im beginning to see the light.
Here comes two of you,
Which one will you chose?
One is black, one is blue.
Dont look just what to do.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light.
Now Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light.

Some people work very hard
But still they never get it right
Well Im beginning to see the light.
There are problems in these times
But none of them are mine
Baby, Im beginning to see the light.
Here we go again,
I thought that you were my friend.
Here we go again,
I thought that you were my friend.
How does it feel to be loved?

Its my direction
Its my proposal
Its so hard
Its leading me astray
My obsession
Its my creation
Youll understand
Its not important now

All I need is
Co-ordination

Ask my opinion

In The Dream Territory Of A Woman
In the dream territory of a woman
light and darkness
merge and unite
In the dream territory of a woman
all things ensue
except for man
In the dream territory of a woman
through the open window
rain enters, and
the breeze teases the curtains
In the dream territory of a woman
night passes on
but never rises the sun; and
there is an endless wait for the morning

It's Only Money
I smirk when people say 'it's only money' and with very little money we get by
But money it can do a lot for people and not much of course that money cannot buy
And money it can be your greatest ally and open doors to opportunity
If you could make one wish and one wish only I'm sure you would not wish for poverty.
I'm sure you would not wish to be a pauper for that would hardly be a dream come true
But perhaps you might wish for a billion dollars and change
your mind whilst wishing and wish for two
For there is no such thing as too much money with money you can do good for the poor
You can help them for to make a new beginning by making them financially secure.
To all of you who say it's only money you ought to know that words to speak are cheap
The one who struggles to pay his house mortgage for lack of money finds it hard to sleep
He has to support his wife and young children and he has to work hard just to make ends meet
You don't find rolls of notes growing on the tree tops and you don't find rolls of notes along the street.
It's true that money doesn't guarantee you happiness you've heard the tale of the unhappy king
But to those who struggle just for to make ends meet the money is the most important thing
And if you have millions you are very powerful though physically you may seem quite small
And 'it's only money' what a load of rubbish about the most
Important thing of all.

Serenity
Right at the weir in the river
the water in the early morning is pitch black,
the scenery around me etched rock hard
without human conversation, the silence folds over me
and when the first twilight comes, African red-knobbed coots lift
screaming form the water,
while the sun drive off the night
white-faced ducks whistles notes stretching out long
there’s an untouched purity,
a type of freedom everywhere around me,
as if everything for a moment hangs in time:
I am speechless for moments
in astonishment before the day comes overwhelming,
before it flowers open in a burning sun.

The Struggle Of Light And Darkness
the struggle of light
and darkness is just
like the changing of
day and night and
night and day where
matters are just the
routines of nature
changing its face
there are no winners
there are no losers
like a circle without
a beginning without an end.

Let's Take All Night (To Say Goodbye)
Music by: Barry Manilow Lyrics by: John Bettis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two A.M.
Two of us
Come sunrise I'm leavin'
You know I must
I can't bear the heartache
That's in your eyes
So
Let's take all night to say goodbye
You know I want to stay
How I want to stay
Let's take all night to say goodbye
'Cause goodbye is hard to say
Oh so hard to say
So let's take all night
Smile for me
Why don't we
Make this the sweetest of memories
The love that we make now
Is all we have
So
Let's take all night to say goodbye
You know I want to stay
How I want to stay
Let's take all night to say goodbye
'Cause goodbye is hard to say
Oh so hard to say
Let's take each moment
And every desire
You make the coffee
And I'll light the fire
And we'll take all night to say goodbye
You know I want to stay
How I want to stay
Let's take all night to say goodbye
'Cause goodbye is hard to say
Oh so hard to say
So let's take all night to say goodbye

After Invictus
Out of the night that covers me.
Black as the pit from pole to pole.
I thank whatever Gods there be.
For my unconquerable soul
Invictus.
William Ernest Henley 1847-1903.
Out of the night that covers me.
I will emerge into the light.
This dream I follow hopefully.
I know that morning follows night.
Black as the pit from pole to pole.
Though very soon the sun will rise
up to assume his rightful role.
Majestic ruler of the skies.
I thank whatever Gods there be.
That darkness is not permanent.
That we are granted light to see.
The glory of the firmament.
For my unconquerable soul
remains steadfast by day and night.
I know that I will reach my goal.
When death grants me the power of flight.

Late-Night Girl
Always there for me,
Keeps me company,
Everyone can see
That she's a late-night girl.
In the black of night,
She'll appear in sight,
Never gives a fright,
She's just a late-night girl.
Look around the bend,
2 A.M.'s only friend,
Hard to comprehend,
But she's a late night girl.
Don't let down your guard,
She'll make you fall hard,
Hard in love with her,
I'm in love with the late-night girl.
Speak To The Sky
Speak to the sky when ever things go wrong
And you know youre not talkin to the air, to the air
And the world will look better from up there
Speak to the sky cause things can get ya down
And you know when youre talkin to the lord, to the lord
The world will look better than before
And if I stumble and it seems that I am blind
Or if the road Im on seems awful hard to find
And though my conversation doesnt always rhyme
I always try to find some time to .......
Speak to the sky and tell you how I feel
And to know sometimes what I say aint right
Its all right
Cause I speak to the sky every night
And if I stumble and it seems that I am blind
Or if the road Im on seems awful hard to find
And though my conversation doesnt always rhyme
I always try to find some time to .......
Speak to the sky and tell you how I feel
And to know sometimes what I say aint right
Its all right
Cause I speak to the sky every night
Speak to the sky when ever things go wrong
And you know youre not talkin to the air, to the air
And the world will look better from up there

Design a New Life
Design a new life for the soul in your heart,
It came from the days and nights
Created by the Praiseworthy.
Describe to me your life if the day was night,
If this night was in black and white, your life.
You speak in many colours, any colours,
Yet you live in the old night, the black dark night.
It never changes from black to white, until the day
Arrives. This is the time for your life.
Tomorrow has come and become a day to remember.
It is today that existence has shifted like the sun.
Today, you can design the stone house, where your mother lives.
What is this stone house?
It is the life around us; it is hard to destroy it.

(You Make Me) Rock Hard
Hot lover, turn up the heat
I want your sugar, girl your love tastes so sweet
I feel a fire burnin' under me
I've got a hunger that you love's gotta feed
You make me sweat, you turn me 'round
You get me up, you never let me down
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love's like a glove and it fits just rights
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby all night
I'm under a physical spell
I'm a prisoner and your love is my cell
Once I get started I can't stop
I can't cool down 'cause this love is so hot
You make me sweat, you turn me 'round
You get me up, you never let me down
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love's like a glove and it fits just right
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby all night

Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby let's
Rock hard, baby all night
Love's like a glove and it fits just right
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby all night

Don’t open your eyes yet not until I explain last night I went to bed with Sleep last night I fell for Sleep last night Sleep unclothed me left me naked in a room painted black I couldn’t see Sleep because Sleep was dark too and the room was black and the foreground blended in with the background I couldn’t tell what was far and what was close I became frustrated because Sleep was either hiding inside the room or the room was hiding behind Sleep neither were being fair to my eyes who wanted to play hide and go Sleep I hide inside the room and Sleep seeks I said where are you Sleep I can’t see you my eyes can’t find you Sleep I said I wanted to fall inside you brought me into this black room and I am trying to wrap myself around you won’t you come inside of me you won’t stage scenes in my eyes created with color everything is black one long stretch Sleep are you moving and I can’t see you or are you standing still and I can’t feel you are here Sleep you are silent Sleep I feel alone Sleep I want you to be inside me if you take me to a black room and make me go to bed are your eyes open I can’t see you did you leave is Sleep here Sleep am I inside you explain Sleep explain did you open your eyes Sleep are my eyes open Sleep are you outside me Sleep you took me to bed and left me Sleep I can’t open my eyes until you are back inside me I can’t see Sleep when you’re not inside me open your eyes Sleep do you see me inside you explain last night am I still inside Sleep?

Come, Night...
come, night...
night of the holy,
open arms outstretched,
wrapping all that hurts
and burns in cooling blackness.
come, night,
night of the candle lit,
of the curtains blown,
of the silent whispers.
come, night,
night of the glass upturned,
of the laughter of comrades,
of the talking of the eyes.
come, night,
night of the bodies wrapped,
the tongues electric,
the hardness and the wetness.
come, night,
night of quiet reflection,
of soulful introspection,
of prayer beyond words.
come, night,
night of sleep eternal,
of the wind that leaves the body,
and searches the depths of emptiness.
come, night...
let us walk!

We Can Make The Morning
(words & music by j. ramsey)
I just thought I heard a small voice crying
Looked again and saw that it was me
I feel like a little boy denying
That he fears the night cause he cant see
Then a larger thought said stop your crying
Dont be scared to search cause you may find
Fate holds out a candle for your footsteps
Time rolls back the shadows of your mind
Its a long, long lonely night
You can make the morning if you try
Its a long, long lonely night
Oh, we can make the morning if we try
Girl, we can make the morning you and i
Together, together, together
Loneliness is darkness first companion
Spend the night alone and faith may bend
Share it all and see how fear starts fading
Chase away the shadows with a friend
Dawns elusive light is just beginning
Now the day can push away the night
Dreams can make the sun feel much brighter
Hope creates a foothold for the light
Its a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
Its a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
Girl, we can make the morning you and i, oh
Together
Its a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
Its a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
Its a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try

You Have Served Our Country Well
Stand up straight!
Suck in that gut.
Eyes forward!
And you better not blink,
Or twitch a muscle!
Now repeat clearly...
And speak as if you want my attention!
Do not mumble!
If I detect you are...
You will begin again.
Staying put and in place until I determine I understand
What you want me to know!
Now Speak...
'Honey,
I'm glad you're home.
And I can tell you have served our country well!
But ALL I honestly want you to do,
Is relax.
These inspection routines before we have sex...
Has gotten a bit out of control!
I'm standing at attention butt naked!
And you look absolutely ridiculous wearing combat boots,
With a pith helmet and goggles!
Your wish to have this kind of foreplay every single night,
Has affected 'Mr. Johnson'!
And you have 'him' afraid to death to perform!
See...?
He looks like a turtle!
Trying like hell not to come out of his shell!
I'm not with this women in the military business at all!
And you have taken your squad leader position,
Far too seriously!
Don't you think?
These routines are not helping my performances at all! '

Day and Night The Piano Played
Day and night the piano played
Never once did the soft notes stray
Over and over on and on they played
During my short stay t
Day and night, night and day
The same soft notes were played
Never did they stray the same notes
Played again and again night and day
The music wandered and wandered
Until with me it stayed
And I began to whistle night and day
The same soft notes over and over
Again and again and again I played

A simple message
I wanted my message to be loud and heard
I wanted to be free from bondage as bird
Until the time I was unaware of vast sky
I pondered over the prison and asked why?
How one can remain prisoner of his own and consent?
Why he would not like to come out and live in present?
In life one can have limited goal and do only small things
For big things you must have strong resolve and powerful wings
It is your feeble body and weak determination that stops you from performing
You have will power to do but you feel downwards from informing
It makes you to draw steps back and remain for a moment too hesitant
You lack the courage and fail to come out with steps so urgent or instant
Everybody wants fame and name associated with his work
He will take all the steps not to fall back from it or shirk
It is do or die situation that will compel him to rise to the occasion
He will try to be honest and dedicated to his work with passion
Kind words will not be short and easy to speak
Only strong can speak it and not the weak
You can’t just show off or play the trick
You must keep love in one hand and on another stick
Convey love with smile and sweetness in words
It is liked by HIM and has he blessings from the lords
It may be just beginning of love and will matter most
It may reward you in the end without meeting any cost
Let us not confine our selves in only raising the funds
God may favor us by giving it in abundance
It is we who fail to understand the clear message
There is clear way ahead with smooth passage
Your voice may not be heard and lost in oblivion
You may have different approach with different opinion
Still you may need magical charisma to reach to the hearts of people
It may be made easy for you and you will e in position or able
How would you face the world as defeated soldier?
How will you’re your self as crisis manager?
Will it not go in history as natural consequence?
They follow the natural route and come in sequences
Let it remain as unsolved mystery
It may create its own history
As a humble man you have done your best
Let your work speak itself and prove the test
