Rains - Once More
Fervently expected joyous times
are here one can tell
Guttural croaks of bullfrogs
herald an impending spell
Rumble in the distance and
streaks lighting up the dreary night
Perk up sullen temperaments,
infusing dose of expectant delight
It's time to find old brolly and
macintosh with hooded cape
Just to sit on the patio
relishing hot cuppa with sweetened crape
Precursor to petty indulgences
in rekindling touch of romance
To dabble in frolicking gaiety and
in bucketing rain merrily dance

The Lighting Fairy
The lighting fairy,
she’s full of
lighting...
You might want to
stand back..
When she throws
lighting bolts.
That’s only when
she’s angry....
The other times...
She will give you
a hug or....
A chocolate kiss...
She is the lighting
fairy...
Of them ALL!

Turn Up The Night
A rumble of thunder, Im suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
You know what to cover, I think for another its a story told
So get a good hold, yeah
Regiment fooled you, you thought that you knew who you are
A simple equation, thats the relation, but thats gone too far
A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know
So let it all go!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Nighttitme sorrow, taken like a pain
Black will not become a white, its all the same
Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark
Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!
A rumble of thunder, Im suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
So get a good hold, yeah
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
If it feels right
Turn off the light!
Turn up the night!

The Delibrated Rove
Coerced sort of subsistence
where your soul doesn't belong
The right that was in earnest
with time has gone awfully wrong
It's just a step in front of the last one
in a melancholic mode
Where each avenue is familiar
with most streets earlier strode
Routine at times is daunting
with a longing for spirit to sway
To ditch comforting environs
and step out in a jumbled array
Whole lot would try and dissuade
for impending sensibilities to deter
Tad difficult may prove the final call on,
the path which one would prefer
Expected or if were otherwise
some point in future would try and spell
Proving heart's precedence prevailing over
what head was trying to tell

In The Middle Of A Hot Sunny Day
the morning
is dizzy
the night has offered
it nothing
but that darkness that it feeds
whole and dreary
noon time is harsh
with an impending kill
the mind indeed is
unpredictable like
a rain that comes in the
middle of a hot
sunny day

Lighting Up The Candles
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles
To what use to be
Tender memories in moments of love
Happy times and bad times
All seem wonderful
When you have a toast to moments of love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles
To what use to be
Tender memories in moments of love
Happy times and bad times
All seem wonderful
When you have a toast to moments of love
I really think we could have made it
To that forever and a day
But destiny and fate decided
They would get in our way
Lighting up the candles
Wishing you the best
Like the happiness in moments of love
For lighting up the candles
Spark the memories
Helping us to see more moments of love
I really think we could have made it
To that forever and a day
But destiny and fate decided
They would get in our way
For lighting up the candles
Spark the memories
Helping us to see the need for what was
Helping us to see more moments of love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

Fifty Frogs
Bullfrogs singing melodies to the stars
The fog floats through the few lights of the lake
And the sky stretches over the ocean with diamonds in it
While the woods and the world
Croak and cry
With the calls of the wild
The beach is the most comfortable place tonight
The stars shoot through the fog like daggers
Lighting up
And dying
In just a glimpse

It Takes Two
This is the woman that i married:
She always distance herself from me and,
Expected to become pregnant.
This is the woman that you married:
She always distance herself from you and,
Expected to become pregnant.
But how can she become pregnant without the sperms?
She needs to be closer always than ever,
She needs to meke love for her to become pregnant,
For it takes two to plant the seed and water the seed.

A Gas Butterfly
Tell me what's happening to me?
Why is my heart beating so fervently?
why has this madness, like a wave,
Broken through the rock of habit?
Is it my strength or just my torment
I'm too disturbed to tell:
From the shimmering lines of life
I extract a forgotten phrase...
Is it a thief who turns his lantern
Upon the crowd of dreary letters?
I can't help reading the phrase,
But haven't the strength to go back...
It really had to flare up,
But it only harries the darkness;
All night, like a gas-flame butterfly
It trembles, but cannot escape...

Storm
The silken threads of darkness
weave their way across the sky
causing day to turn to night.
Rolling clouds clash together
bringing spears of light and sound
and then one cries a million teardrops
to splash upon the ground.
More dark clouds rumble together
and blue streaks momentarily
light up the darkened sky.
Everything shelters best it can
from the wanton storm
as it continues to fight
its way above their heads.
Soon the last teardrops are shed
and day returns again.
A single arch of colours
lingers under the sun
once the storm has passed
angrily on its way.

Good Night
Many ways to say good night.
Fireworks at a pier on the Fourth of July
spell it with red wheels and yellow spokes.
They fizz in the air, touch the water and quit.
Rockets make a trajectory of gold-and-blue
and then go out.
Railroad trains at night spell with a smokestack mushrooming a white pillar.
Steamboats turn a curve in the Mississippi crying a baritone that crosses lowland cottonfields to razorback hill.
It is easy to spell good night.
Many ways to spell good night.

Night of Dreary
Night of Dreary
By: Adam M. Snow
The moon beams upon roses of blood;
to those who sought the everlasting flood.
It is this night that I sought and wander;
for everything I've done, I've stopped to ponder.
Will I awaken or will I die?
This is the night that I cry.
Tis be my night of dreary wonder;
all and all why did I blunder?
In the dark I must lie;
for all things must truly die.
So let the voices echo in the night;
telling me whether or not I should fight.
It is this night that I sought and wander;
for everything I've done, I've stopped to ponder.
Will I awaken or will I die?
This is the night that I cry.
Why, oh why did I left my body so cold;
all alone with no sight to behold?
Who am I now for I am someone who is lost?
For nevermore is my soul cold like frost.
Twas upon this night of dreary;
that my essence was cold and weary.
I see the shadows coming for me;
though I not know what the curse may be.
Could it be that this is the end;
that there's nothing left for me to fend?
It is this night that I sought and wander;
for everything I've done, I've stopped to ponder.
Will I awaken or will I die?
This is the night that I cry.

A Dirge
Rough wind, that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;
Sad storm whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main,--
Wail, for the world’s wrong!

The Qualm
Sustained spans of inactivity
on own ability at times cast doubts
With the core riddled with uncertainty
educe dreary seeming bouts
Guess phenomenon is totally not off beam
in situation as such affects
Where pessimism it goes to spotlight
while keen fervor tries and deflects
One may seem as a persona practiced
still ambiguities repeatedly impede
Success may well be the expected hallmark
but inevitabilities often concede

Dear Momma
dear momma
i'm sorry for all the times
i lost my temper
fr the times i was rude
for all the times you
were patience with me
a viture that i lack
i'm sorry
for all the times i scared you
when i would go out and get drunk.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for being cruel
i'm sorry for all the times i lied
i'm sorry fro the times i stole from you
i'm truly sorry
i'm sorry for everything i have done to you
all i am asking is for you to forgive me
because i want to turn things around
and earn my trust back
i know it's a little to late
my deed can't be undone
i realize now that i was wrong
and i'm sorry momma
please forgive your daugther.

On & On & On
I was at a party and this fella said to me
Something bad is happening, Im sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights
I said, who are you to talk about impending doom?
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, Im a minister, a big shot in the state
I said, I just cant believe it, boy I think its great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?
He said, keep on rocking baby, til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
til the night is gone
On and on and on
til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
til the night is gone
On and on and on
til the night is gone
Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that Im a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, who am I and who are you and who are we?
Whats our situation, do we have some time for us?
I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, if youre going somewhere can I come along?
I said, keep on rocking baby, til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
til the night is gone
On and on and on
til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
til the night is gone
On and on and on
til the night is gone

Junior Cowboy
Looking down on a junior cowboy
I see myself at the end of each day
Im feeling sad somehow
My rumble tumble days are over now
Took loopy loo to a paper hat party
And fought the kid who tried to take her away
Im feeling sad somehow
My rumble tumble days are over now
Running away,you dont know,you dont care
Funny the way that we change
Playing spoof at the back of the schoolyard
With no thought for the rest of the day
Im feeling sad somehow
cause my rumble tumble days are over now

Kaleidoscope
the FLORIDA setting sun is as beautiful as can be.
it's like a kaleidoscope that everyone wants to see.
a light blue background with reddish orange streaks
with a dash of white to compliment this treat.
a full moon on the horizon lighting up the sky
the tips of the trees rising
to reach this prism on high.
there is nothing that can compare
to the beauty that is here.
and when i take my bed at night
i see every star in plain sight
the stars like lights in a darkened room
coming on very soon
to lighten up every corner
of my mind, so that the
thoughts could run free
of all the beauties that surround me.
to me, this is the kaleidoscope state.
where everything changes with time
and tends to release ones mind.

Gum Is The Sky
Glum is the sky, by night imprisoned,
As over it the dark clouds creep,
Not menacing or wistful is it,
But plunged in dreary, torpid sleep.
Alone the streaks of lightning, bursting
Through cloud and shadow, seem to be,
As they flare up and blaze, conversing
Like deaf-mute demons soundlessly.
As at a signal, for an instant
A strip of sky is lit, and Lo! -
From out the murk the forests distant
Emerge, set suddenly aglow.
But the light dies, the darkness fleeing
That cloaks the startled, wakeful sky,
And all is still... Is a plot being
Hatched in the silent wastes on high?..

Big Feeling
Come next september Ill be out upon the road again
And therell be times when I can hardly even say your name
But now were sticking to the sheets and I cant sleep tonight
And like a dream love were moving into light
Oh I feel like this is warning
Oh I feel like ten feet tall
And dont ever let me down
Dont ever let me down.
Big feeling
Oh its getting hard to hide
Big feeling
Like a river running growing wide
You are my thunder
And theres lighting here inside.
Oh come on darling now day has turned its time for home
I wont forget that night we slept out on the beach alone
Now the sun has come to take the moon and light the sky
Wave oer me flow over me
And oh I feel like this is warning
Oh I feel like ten feet tall
And dont ever let me down
Dont ever let me down.
Big feeling
Oh its getting hard to hide
Big feeling
Like a river running growing wide
You are my thunder
And theres lighting here inside.
Dont ever let me down
Dont ever let me down
Dont ever let me down
Big feeling
Oh its getting hard to hide
Big feeling
Like a river running growing wide
You are my thunder
And theres lighting here inside.
Big feeling
Oh come on darling now day has turned
Its time for home
Big feeling
I wont forget that night we slept out on the beach alone
You are my thunder
And theres lighting here inside
Lighting here inside.
