Sleeping Beauty
Gracefull face
Lips embraced
Tightly yes
Tightly no
Shining beads
Revealed
When
The embrace
Waylaid.
Lids over her eyes
The sparkle I could see
And the moat above
Checked
The youthfull thoughts
Wander
Doubt
If she knew
The humble breath
Which the nose drew
Lovely hands supported the gait
Deep urge
Lids stretched
And the moat
Let her see
Let her see.

What Has Been Revealed
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even with eyes tightly closed...
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even with an upturned nose...
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even with pretensions,
Left to charade.
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even with the cool-aid made...
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even with debates...
Created for more time to waste.
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even those who protest,
Unaccepting with wishes to reject!
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even the message,
And the messenger to detest!
What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.

Squeeze Me
I...
Choose you to be,
That someone...
I can trust.
And I desire,
No more...
Than most who rush,
Into love...
Wishing respect.
And with caresses,
Never to reject...
When you,
Hold me close...
So tightly I can't move!
I...
Choose you to be,
That someone...
I can trust,
To hold me...
So tightly I can't move!
And I desire,
No more than most...
To be held,
And very close.
So tightly I can't move!
Hold me please.
Hug and squeeze,
So tightly I can't move!
Don't let go,
Hold me close...
So tightly I can't move!
I...
Choose you to be,
That someone...
I can trust.
And I desire,
No more...
Than most who rush,
Into love...
Wishing respect.
And with caresses,
Never to reject...
When you,
Hold me close...
So tightly I can't move!
Squeeze me baby.
Come on, come on,
So tightly I can't move!
Come on, come on...
Squeeze me baby,
So tightly I can't move!
Come on, come on...
Squeeze me baby,
So tightly I can't move!

Hold and Escalate It
The flame I see within you brightens.
Something has dawned,
To ignite a dimming need.
Something has connected,
To spark an increase...
Of a desired feeding pleased.
You have attached to happiness.
An entrapment has been detached.
You have come to decide,
Whatever you carried...
To lift it off your back!
I hope you allow this to magnify.
Hold and escalate it.
Embrace and motivate it,
To keep you satisfied!
Whatever it is,
It has come to you as a gift!
To identify any remnants of darkness.
I can tell by your smile...
And the ease of it.
You once tried to hide from escaping,
To show on your face.
And tightly shut lips!

My Foolish Eyes
High up on my ceiling
before I fall asleep
I see a darkened shadow.
I need to count some sheep.
I cannot make the shadow out.
Its shape I can't discern.
I shut my eyes tightly
as restlessly I turn.
I swear that I will keep them shut
but my lids defy the vow.
The shadowy figure appears again
and my vision's blurry now.
One more peek is all it takes
for me to realize
that the shadow's only in my mind,
not my foolish eyes.

Missing You Terribly Meta
The days always seem gloomy
The nights are cold and lonely
Time also passes by so slowly
When I can't see you daily.
Though I'm as busy as can be
I still think of you constantly
Wish I could hold you tightly
as tightly hold the pilow
And tell you that you mean the world to me.
I just miss you so terribly
That without you life seems empty
I can only look forward longingly
To all your hugs and kisses especially.
Meta.

My Castle In The Sand
I held on tightly to my child
Tightly i held on
The waves were crashing overhead
But still i did hold on.
The waters drove us up the street
Past where friends and i would meet
Dashing down their houses
And leaving not much there
But i held yes i held on
And on my lips there was a prayer
That these torrents would not make me weak
That somehow i would find
Some calm some peace some easiness
And the earthquake left behind
I held on god i held on
To that tender little hand
She was now my sole ambition
And my castle in the sand.
I caught my breath
A hundred times
A hundred times or more
All that i was grasping was
Her clothes and nothing more.

Looking at a Portrait
O why are there eyes like these,
That sparkle and dapple and tease,
So wide with the morning, so deep with the night,
Dancing and gleaming in passioned delight?
O why are there eyes like these?
O why are there lips like these?
Caressed by the southern breeze,
That beckon and call and hold a slave
All who therewith each soul-cry leave?
O why are there lips like these?
O why are there arms like these?
That crumple and crush as they please
A weak man's heart, and in their embrace
Bring a glow of red to a strong man's face?
O why are there arms like these?

Black Knots
[Moodpomes: Calendar of Correlatives]
At twilight scrawny starlings screech
like harpies hunting empty streets,
braid trees and ledges in high-pitched fuss,
knotting in rows at hollow dusk
like charcoal beads tightly queued
entreating night's protective hood,
unless a hawk-cry snaps their thread
and black beads scatter, half unsaid.

Making Love..... Cork To Wine...
to really please my senses
this time
i make a poem without balls
it is something erotic
i do not talk about a revolution
i am away from any motive
a hidden agenda
i step down to the lower level
of social irrelevance
you touch my body
you kiss my lips
we lie down to bed
you are my moon
i am a hill
we let go the bluebirds from our mouths
scatter them
to the universe
they are all free now
as we embrace tightly like
i am the cork
to your bottle of
wine.

Grammar of beauty
The stress long, jet black, tightly plaited,
The eyes, fish like, black, brows blackened,
The face, moon shaped, yellow, with red lips,
And the bosom massive were once of beauty.
Jewels and silk in profuse adorned every part.
Short cut, dishevelled, unoiled is the hair,
Eyes and lips are kept in subdue with out paints,
The face of any shape, stripped of blush,
And the toned body are now taken for beauty.
Coarse garments without jewels adorn.
With the yellow skin, also came in dusky skin.
Plumpness went out and thinness came in.
Why is this somersault in beauty grammar?
Fashion is invented by the upper one and
Is caught by others to identify with the upper

Morning Light
morning light
comes as a stab to my eyes
like your stare
last night
when she kissed me
on the lips
when her hands tightly held
my swelling
crotch and i
did not make a sound
of that lovely
protest much to your
jealous chagrin.

A girl of my dreams
I hold her in my dreams
Gaze deeply in her eyes
Which shine more beautiful
Than any stone known to man
She is my greatest distraction
I hold her in my thoughts
With a loves honest devotion
Admire her very nature
She is all I could ever ask for
Or all I could imagine
I hold her tightly in my heart
Never wishing to let go
To take seed of this passion
Nurture it tenderly
That it will grow and flower
To a thing of great beauty
I hold her in my dreams
Kiss those soft sweet lips
And in her eyes I see
The most beautiful of all
A girl of my dreams

At The End Of The Day
At the end of the day
let's have dinner together
drink together
laugh together
and sleep together
with me in your arms
so tightly close.
At the end of the day
let's forget about the whole world
and let there be
only you and me
just as in the evening sky
where only the moon and the stars
are shining
...at the end of the day.

In The Night (Shine On)
Beauty in the setting sun
is what you are
when the day is done
where dreams have just begun
in the night you glimmer
and heaven is not too far
I see your eyes
sparkle like twilight
starlight in the night
moonbeams shining in your hair
a face so true and fair
Your lips sweet like wine
pretty as a desert flower
like an endless moment in time
in the night you shimmer
And in the morning dawn
when the day is shining bright
the sound of silence dies
you will still shine on

The Same Deep Water As You
Kiss me goodbye
Pushing out before i sleep
Can't you see i try
Swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"the shallow drowned lose less than we"
You breathe the strangest twist upon your lips
"and we shall be together..."
"kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me"
And face pushed deep reflections meet
The strangest twist upon your lips and dissapear
The ripples clear and laughing break
Against your feet and laughing break the mirror sweet
"so we shall be together..."
"kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep
It's lower now and slower now the strangest
Twist upon your lips but i don't see and i dont
Feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
Before my fading eyes and in my eyes your
Smile the very last thing before i go...
I will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you
Forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will
Kiss you and we shall be together...

Object Of Ridicule
The usual carping
The mocking in sarcasm
Like a lash, each senting a spasm of pain through me
Though, i just bore it in silence
To whom can I go for help
Either ignorance or sympathy
I closed my eyes
Struggling to marshal the expletive about to issue from my lips
I kept my face immobile
Trying to maintain a calm demeanor
All of them speak with such forthright authority
All of them cruel beyond belief
I closed the door
Hugged my arms tightly about myself
My eyes wide, darting under bedraggled hair
The froth of anger and violence shook me
'Am I really..'
It was a barely whisper that begged for no one's confirmation

Unable To Keep From Looking Back
Unable to face facts...
Is an unfortunate mindset to have,
When all foundations of the past...
Are being revealed to have cracks.
Every question one can ask,
Can today be traced to the truth.
And every denial one offers back,
Slips from a validity needlessly pursued.
The few amongst the many,
Feeling to be at peace with themselves...
Without the need for traps,
Also have a need to isolate from those...
Who stubbornly refuse,
To accept with belief these times we are at.
Unable to face facts.
Unable to keep from looking back.
Unable to shake away hours from a yesterday.
And...
Unable to say a grip held tightly,
Begins to fade and to drift away...
From one's existence.

Hold On To Everything
surely you have hands and surely you know how to use
your hands
like holding on tightly to joys and sorrows
holding on to pains and reliefs
holding on to misgivings and thanksgivings
and hate and love and giving and taking and speaking and silence
you hold on to whatever
in the place where you are an alien
to all things honorable and miserable, defeats and triumphs,
losses and gains, you must hold on, you must tightly hold on
to life.

Hold On Tightly
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the its about time album. it has also been released on the john denver (italian) and country classics albums.
Lost in a boat on the ocean
Lost in a ship out at sea
Lost in the dark of misfortune
Where is a light I can see
Where is a light I can see
Where is the highway to heaven
Where is the love we all need
Where is the peace that we long for
Where is the man who is free
Here in the heart there is freedom
Here in the heart there is peace
Here in the heart is the answer
To questions much deeper than these
Youve got to hold on tightly
Let go lightly
Its only surrender, its all in the game
If you just hold on tightly
Let go lightly
Theres always forgiveness and no one to blame
Some will take fame over fortune
Some will take love over gold
Some will pray only for power
Some never want to grow old
Some see the day that is coming
Some only see what has passed
Someone will always be first in line
Someone will always be last
Here in the heart there is freedom
Here in the heart there is peace
Here in the heart is the answer
To questions much deeper than these
Youve got to hold on tightly
Let go lightly
Its only surrender, its all in the game
If you just hold on tightly
Let go lightly
Theres always forgiveness and no one to blame
