Esoterica
Time,
Like a rhyme
May be found pleasing,
But, the wonder of what comes next,
What it means,
And when it will end
May go on and on,
Forever teasing.

Thin Line
I thought the time was passed when I could
Find beauty in a birds
I set the stage and the scenery
Rehearsing every word
Yeah but when I tried to make it more
Well it was always less
And its a thin line between pleasing yourself
And pleasing somebody else
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
All right
With my confidence on fire
I set to fixin up my roles
My separation of desires
Just left me deeper down in the hole
Yeah when I tried to make it more
Well it was always less
And its a thin line between pleasing yourself
And pleasing somebody else
Yeah and when I tried to make it more
Well it was always less
Its a thin line between pleasing yourself
And pleasing somebody else
Now Im tryin to get back
To what I know that I should be
Hoping to God that I was just
A temporary absentee
Yeah when I tried to make it more
Well it was always less
Its a thin line between pleasing yourself
And pleasing somebody else
Yeah when I tried to make it more
Well it was always less
And its a thin line between pleasing yourself
And pleasing somebody else
Somebody else oh yeah
Oh yeah
All right

Heart Of Glass (Live In Oxford)
Once I had a love and it was a gas
soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out, I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing
And I'm feeling fine love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion
And I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using
Please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising
Yeah!
Yeah riding high
On love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing
And "I'm feeling fine" love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good you teasing like you do

Times A' Tickin'
Its half past forever...
And i'm wastin' no more time--
I gotta get through...
Your reason and your rhyme;
Gotta make sense--
Of the things that you do--
Gotta find answers...
To the enigma thats you;
Its half past forever--
And i'm wastin' no more time--
I gotta get through...
Your reason and your rhyme;
Gotta try to understand...
Why your heart is so cold--
Gotta find out...
Before i get too old;
Tell ya i been tryin' so hard...
To figure out just what makes you tick...
Gotta find the answer---
Before it makes me sick;
Its half past forever--
And i'm wastin' no more time---
I gotta get through...
Your reason and your rhyme;
Tell ya i've never known--
Such a hate filled guy...!
Gotta find out...
Your reasons-and your why;
'Cause its make or break time...
For me and for you--
Gotta settle this one pronto...
Or we will be through;
Its half past foever--
And i'm wastin' no more time--
I gotta get through...
Your reason and all of your rhyme;
Gotta find out...
Just what makes ya tick...
Gotta find out...
Before it makes me sick;

Death means Love means
Death means freedom
Love means pain
Which would you choose?
Death means rest peacefully
Love means restless motion
Which would be comfortable?
Death means life
love means death to the heart
Which one would you want?
Death means everlasting happiness
Love means confusion
Which would be more rich?
Death means rejoice with loved ones
Love means losing someone
Which would be better?
Death means peaceful dreams for forever
Love means fear of nightmares
Which would you perfer?

Rhyme
Poets rhyme from time to time
They don’t find rhyme a crime
It’s no sin, their using rhyme
Inspired rhyme is so sublime
Can often form a perfect line

I can’t think of an intro
For the poem I have in mind
Stop teasing me, my dear
I want the feeling to be in rhyme
Don’t make me lose my words
Don’t kiss me here and there
I can’t concentrate, I can’t create
My man you’re so hot tonight
Ok, I’ll turn off the computer now
Wait, I’ll just highlight these words
To save the thoughts for tomorrow
I swear I’ll continue these lines
‘Cause I know I will have
A better piece, a better rhyme

Weve Got Forever
[intro]
(weve got forever, forever)
[verse 1]
Ill plant you a garden
Of laughter and tears
With rain and with sunshine
Love will grow through the years
The dreams that were dreaming
Have time to come true
[chorus]
cause weve got forever
And forever is meant for so very few
[bridge]
We shall have music
We shal have rhyme
We shall have each other
One minute after the end of time
[verse 2]
Then well add up the pleasures
And treasure the sums
Caring is sharing
The cake and the crumbs
How lucky we are to be me and you
[chorus]
cause weve got forever
And forever is meant for so very few

All We Ever Find
Say exactly how you feel
Right now youre free to say it all
There is no one here to judge you
I only love you
Youre free to close your eyes and fall
You can trust me, this is real
Say exactly how you feel
Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
Well lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find
Every breath of who you are
Tells a story that I love
I have finally found the truth
In what I see in you
And what I feel with every touch
The simple beauty of your heart
In every breath of who you are
Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
Well lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find
Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
Well lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find

Sonnet IV. How Many Bards Gild The Lapses Of Time!
How many bards gild the lapses of time!
A few of them have ever been the food
Of my delighted fancy,—I could brood
Over their beauties, earthly, or sublime:
And often, when I sit me down to rhyme,
These will in throngs before my mind intrude:
But no confusion, no disturbance rude
Do they occasion; 'tis a pleasing chime.
So the unnumbered sounds that evening store;
The songs of birds—the whispering of the leaves—
The voice of waters—the great bell that heaves
With solemn sound,—and thousand others more,
That distance of recognizance bereaves,
Makes pleasing music, and not wild uproar.

Sea & Sky
(michel legrand / harold david shaper)
The sea goes on forever
The sky goes on forever
Its all a vast unmeasured shore
If you just think about it
The waves are always sighin
The sea birds always cryin
Where time means nothing anymore
If I could I would take up the sea
Join hands with the sky
Id melt with the shore
Theyre part of all I adore
And all the love we will share
One moment more, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahh, the sea goes on forever
The sky goes on forever
Its something no-one can deny
If they go on forever
And they go on forever
Then why not you and i?
Like sea and sky
Sea and sky
Sea and sky

Souls of Sweetness, Souls of Sour.
All that is, forever was, forever it will be
It takes only the eyes of a child to unravel the mystery.
You’re over thinking everything
You’re sinking in the songs you sing.
You should be dancing.
Slashing in the inhibitions of the past.
Making ghosts of the demons to which once you were host.
I have found upon my journey
Souls of sweetness, souls of sour.
With each I’ve spent an hour
Learning from myself.
Tell me; tell me of the dreams that rest your heart at ease.
Listen; listen to the whisper of the trees.
Does it please you?
Can you hear the secret teasing you?

Deathwishes
yes there are three of
us
that makes a company
that day when it is about to rain
but doesn't
we are three
wearing white and i am the bad one
wishing death
for the other one that we do not like
to be with us
but will always be a part of us despite
our deep dislike
it is the truth
that death-wish that is there but we do not like to admit
it is there
speaking, singing, teasing, taunting
and no matter how we silence it with our handkerchief
they all speak
louder
singer wildly
teasing
badly
yes we are watching the burial
of a death that comes true
we are silent
do we have the same mutual wish for each other?
i am sure.
i do not wish to be the bad one forever.

Love Somebody
Always and forever is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement
The dark side of the sun
Gotta dream the dream all over
And sleep here tight
You dont wanna sing the blues
In black and white
And its hope that springs eternal for everyone
If it aint broken break it or the damage done
Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Theres just no pleasing me
Trying to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me
Violet in the rainbow just melt away
Theres not enough minutes in the hour
Or hours in the day
The song played in a circle that never skips a beat
The stranger in a country that I have yet to meet
And its hope that springs eternal for everyone
Got a lifetime in a second oh the damage done
Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess theres just no pleasing me
I want to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me
Itll come in your sweet time, lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free
I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
Theres just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lay lay, lay your love on me
Itll come in your sweet time, lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

Uh-Uh
No need to tell me you don't understand.
Uh-uh...
I'm not the kind to seek a rhyme or reason.
No!
Don't snap your fingers and from me demand.
Uh-uh...
To have me do
What you want.
Just to be pleasing you.
I am no monkey in a zoo!
Uh-uh,
I'm told you talk about me with your friends.
Uh-uh...
What makes you think I have armored feelings?
So,
There are some things about you I can't stand.
Uh-huh...
You like the kind,
To be backstabbing people like you,
I may be weak but not a fool!
Oh...
No need to tell me you don't understand.
Uh-uh...
I'm not the kind to seek a rhyme or reason.
No!
Don't snap your fingers and from me demand.
Uh-uh...
To have me do,
What you want!
Just to be pleasing you...
I am no monkey in a zoo!
Too many folks like you,
Don't appreciate.
Or affiliate,
With what is good!
You think you are the world.
And others should
Accept you as their precious diamond!
Wishing to touch you,
As they stand in line!
Oh, uh-uh!
I'm told you talk about me with your friends.
Uh-uh...
What makes you think I have armored feelings?
So,
There are some things about you I just can't stand.
Uh-huh...
You like the kind,
To be backstabbing people like you,
I may be weak but not a fool!
Don't snap your fingers and from me demand!
Uh-uh...
To have me do

Just to be pleasing you.
I ain't no monkey in a zoo!
Oh, uh-uh...
I may be weak but not a fool!
I'm through!
My time is not all about you!

Being good is difficult.
To favour one means to disfavour someone.
To favour none will leave you an orphan.
To favouri everyone means pleasing none.

Everything Means Nothing To Me
Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain at
Attention looking backward
In a bowl of water wishes with a blue songbird on his
Shoulder who keeps singing over everything
Everything means nothing to me
I picked up the song and found my picture
In the paper the reflection in the water shouted
Are you men still trying to salute
People from a time when he was
Everything hes supposed to be?
Everything means nothing to me
