Believe In Humanity
You can dance
Like a drunk
In the summer night,
Laugh with strangers
In the moonlight,
Gaze at girls
That walk in the red light,
Say prayers at hillside shrines
To Shinto Deities
That your parents
Never knew.
Everything is a combination
Of misery and poetry.
You have to swim
In a lake of suffering
To reach the shore
Of self-knowledge
About the reason
You’re living for.
I’m living to sing
A tender song at dawn
That will break God’s heart:
I want to make him
Linger here in tears
Until he helps us along
This sad journey
That we’re traveling upon.
I believe in Divinity
And I need for Divinity
To believe in humanity.

I'm Searching My Heart......
I sing a song in tears,
And the song to reach hers,
And get back my heart.
I'm searching my heart
That I lost when I was with her:
She came unto me;
Still I remember her steps.
I sing a song in tears,
And the song to reach hers,
And get back my heart.
She sat beside me;
Still I feel her presence,
She spoke with me;
Still I remember her words.
I sing a song in tears,
And the song to reach hers,
And get back my heart.
She wept for me;
Still I don't know why,
She lulled me to sleep,
Still I am in her lullaby.
I sing a song in tears,
And the song to reach hers,
And get back my heart.
I hear the notes of songsters,
And the babble of streams;
But not the pulse of my heart,
I weep unto the clouds,
I cry unto the zephyr;
But they all left me at sea.
I swim into the sea fast
Hoping to find my heart.
I sing a song in tears,
And the song to reach hers,
And get back my heart.

Girls
(d. bowie, e. kizilcay)
Producer: terry britten
Albums: break every rule (86)
Girls, we come and we go
We kiss, come and we go
Like a breeze, brushing your cheek
Like pain, like the tears on a face
Girls, we come and we go
Like spirits, we vanish at dawn
My heart, suspended in time
Like you, vanish like tears in the rain
Girls, we take our loves away
Like spirits living so far away
Girls, pretending to break down and cry
Girls, whispering wind, what are we giving away
We used to be so happy
Remember, remember, so happy
I never knew how lonely
Could feel

Moonlight Seranade
I stand at your gate
And the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait
For the touch of your hand in the June light
The roses are side you
A moonlight serenade
The star's are a glow
And tonight how there light
Sets me dreaming
My love do you know
That your eyes, are like stars
Brightly beaming
I bring you, and sing you
A moonlight serenade
Let us stray, till break of day
In loves valley of dreams
Just you and I
A summer sky
A heavenly breeze
Kissing the trees
So don't let me wait
Come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darlin
A moonlight serenade
So don't let me wait
Come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darlin
A moonlight serenade
A moonlight serenade

Mandolin Rain
(bruce hornsby/john hornsby)
The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
Id laugh and hed smile
And it would last for a while
You dont know what you got til you lose it all again
Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break, every time that he goes away
Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
Listen to my tears roll, down my face as he turns to go
A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air til they play the last song
And Ill do my time
Keeping you off my mind but theres moments
That I find, Im not feeling so strong
Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break, every time that he goes away
Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
Listen to my tears roll, down my face as he turns to go
Running down by the lakeshore
He did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now its washing him away once again
Once again, once again
Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break, every time that he goes away
Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
Listen to my tears roll, down my face as he turns to go
Listen to my tears roll, down my face as he turns to go

You Are the Only Song
If I could kiss
Your gorgeous mouth
In the sunlight
Beside roses climbing
Fences to find us,
My heart would burst
With unimaginable joy
And resound like a symphony,
I know Mozart would smile.
Around the corner from the liquor store
In this depressed city,
There is a small pawn shop
With a diamond necklace
That belongs on your goddess-like throat;
I will trade in my best guitar
To buy it for you
Because you are the only song
I want to hear.
Beyond this affection,
The world ceases to exist for me;
You are the dreams
That softly fall from the moonlight,
The stars dance over the hillside
When they see you walking
Barefoot in the night;
Summer has brought you into my life,
I will bathe in your light
And invoke all the ancient deities
To keep you shining by my side.

Girls
Girls
They come and they go
They kiss
Come and they go
Like breeze
Brushing my cheek
Like pain
Like the tears on my face
Girls
They come and they go
Like spirits
They vanish at dawn
My heart
Suspended in time
Like you
Vanish like tears in the rain
Girls
They take their loves away
Like spirits
Living so far away
Girls
Pretending to break down and cry
Girls
Whispering wind
What are they giving away
We used to be so happy
Remember, remember
So happy
I never knew
How lonely
How lonely
How lonely I could feel
Girls
They come and they go
They kiss
They come and they go

Brushing my cheek
Like pain

Pretending to break down and cry

Drunk With Poetry
Smile like a princess, Sunflower,
By the apple-orchard lake.
The dreams that dance in your eyes,
I’m certain, my heart they will break;
But I don’t mind crying in the moonlight
Drunk with poetry like the great Li Po.
I wish I could lay my head
On your long, yellow skirt;
I’d fall asleep for eternity
And forget that I’ve ever been hurt.

So Hot
Flash lights
Moon grin
Hot bodies grooving
I knew there was love in the air
Anticipation
My heart is racing
I'm yours for the night if you dare
If you wanna do it
Make your move right
If you want me baby
Keep me in your sight
Ain't no use in fighting
Cos my mind's made up
You get me so hot
Don't you wanna
Dance to the music all night
Party till the dawn when the sun comes up
Kiss goodbye in the moonlight
You got me feeling hot
Please don't ever ever stop
Dance to the music all night
Party till the dawn when the sun comes up
Kiss goodbye in the moonlight
You got me feeling hot
Please don't ever ever stop
Now I know I've got you
Exactly the way I want you
And all of your defences are down
My body's craving
Why the hell you waiting?
My fantasy is what I found
If you wanna do it
The time is now
If you want me baby
I can show you how
Ain't no use in fighting
Cos my mind's made up
You get me so hot
Don't you wanna
Dance to the music all night
Party till the dawn when the sun comes up
Kiss goodbye in the moonlight
You got me feeling hot
Please don't ever ever stop
Dance to the music all night
Party till the dawn when the sun comes up
Kiss goodbye in the moonlight
You got me feeling hot
Please don't ever ever stop
Take you where
You've never been before
(I wanna freak you down in all the right places)
I wanna Make you feel
Like you never need no more
(Make you hotter than the one you ever tasted)
I wanna take you where
You've never been before
(I wanna freak you down in all the right places)
Make you feel
Like you never need no more
(Make you hotter than the one you ever tasted)
Dance to the music all night
Party till the dawn when the sun comes up
Kiss goodbye in the moonlight
You got me feeling hot
Please don't ever ever stop
Dance to the music all night
Party till the dawn when the sun comes up
Kiss goodbye in the moonlight
You got me feeling hot
Please don't ever ever stop
Dance to the music all night
Party till the dawn when the sun comes up
Kiss goodbye in the moonlight
You got me feeling hot
Please don't ever ever stop
Dance to the music all night

There is a song in my heart......
There is a song in my heart
and I want to sing it for you in the misty night
No one will ever knows what I have written for you
because it has been written with my heart only for you
Let us be alone when I sing my song for you
and let the melody of my song echo in the sky
I want our world to sleep deep when I sing for you
then only my song will get into your heart softly
My nights are not enough to love you
nor my songs cannot be sung without you
I sing with my heart to tell you how much I love you
I sing with my soul to tell you how much I miss you
My song will wipe your tears away
and immerse my body into your arms for thirsting love
These feelings of loving song comes when I am only with you
and let my love song, sing in your living heart forever

Dance all night and laugh all day
I like to prance all right
As I like to play
Let dance all night and dance whilst we pray,
For these avenues run straight to the heart, so we
Dance all night and laugh all day
And on our would the stage we’ll play our part
Nothing but actors imprisoned by a magnetic cage
So we hunt a thrill and kill the time
For we have potions and magic within our brains
I dance all night I dance all day as this is the energy of peace at play
When the heavens were created god was at play,
in the 6 he moulded and on the 7 rested a day
So in celebration we dance wholly with joy,
And with divinity, share energys between all within the routine
As we dance all night and we dance all day peace be upon us and us upon peace

Tender Is The Night
Between the darkness on the street
And the houses filling up with light
Between the stillness in my heart
And the roar of the approaching night
Somebodys calling after somebody
Somebody turns the corner out of sight
Looking for somebody
Somewhere in the night
Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight
Tender are the motions, tender is the night
Between a life that we expected
And the way its always been
I cant walk back in again
After the way we fight
When just outside there are people laughing
Living lives we used to lead
Chasing down the love they need
Somewhere in the night
Tender is the night
And the benediction of the neon light
Tender are the hunters, tender is the night
Youre gonna want me tonight
When youre ready to surrender
Forget about whos right
When youre ready to remember
Its another world at night
When youre ready to be tender
Tender, tender tender...
And in the hard light of an angry sun
No one remembers what was said or done
Tender are the words they choose
You win, I win, we lose
Tender
Tender is the night
Tender
The benediction of the neon light
Tender
Tender are the hunters
Tender is the night
When they hold each other tight
Tender
Tender are the undercover
Tender
The stranger and the secret lover
Tender
Tender are the motions
Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight
Tender, tender tender...

The Real Me
The real me,
I'm living my life the best I can.
Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm the smart ass
Sometimes I'm overwhelmed
Sometimes I'm angry
Sometimes I'm Upset
Sometimes I'm flustered
Sometimes, is as i am.
No reason to worry about my past
No reason to worry about my future
It is the here and now.
And when I'm down and out I write
To bear the light in my soul so bright
I got to keep it strong
When I get burnt I need ice
And this is my device
It heals
Its my window into a world that as i will it i make it
In my fantasy, is the love i need
Its healing powers are beyond the greatest divinity.
It is my angel whisper in the night.
It is the stars held above my head so high
It is to keep me alive

The Path
There is no turning back from this unending path of mine
Serpentine and black it stands before my eyes
To hell
and back it will lead me once more
It's all i have as i stumble in and out of grace
I walk through the gardens of dying
light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time would've passed us by
With
every step i take the less i know myself
Every vow i break on my way towards your heart
Countless times i've prayed for
forgiveness
But gods just laugh at my face
And this path remains
Leading me into solitude's arms
I see through the
darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless but i'll carry on
The shadows will rise and they will fall
And our
night drowns in dawn
Amidst all tears there's a smile
That all angels greet with an envious song
One look into stranger's
eyes and i know where i belong
And the path goes on...

Has music gone from poetry?
Has music gone from poetry?
Words and music, still agree?
Dance and rhythm, song and laughter,
Do they echo, now, hereafter..?
Has singing gone from poetry?
Words that sing a listened tune?
Lullaby and melody,
Old rhymes that sleepy mothers croon?
Has rhythm gone from poetry?
Quick as a dance-step, slow as a glide?
Laughing now; now weeping; now shouting with glee –
Dancing round you, singing, can’t catch me…
Has magic gone from poetry?
Spells that summon fairy Fates?
Incantations solemn spoken,
Heroes, giants, to danger woken?
Have light hearts gone from poetry?
Hearts that know the tears of life,
hearts that know the grief of strife,
yet sing and dance and laugh with glee?
Who loves, who loves not poetry?

Moonlight Serenade
Stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming,
My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you
A moonlight serenade.
Let us stray till break of day
In loves valley of dreams,
You and i, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees.
So dont let me wait, come to me tenderly in the june light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight,
A love song, my darling,
A moonlight serenade.
We can stay till break of day
In loves valley of dreams,
You and i, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees.
So dont let me wait, come to me tenderly in the june light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight,
A love song, my darling,
A moonlight serenade.

Emotional Tools
some use the brain
the right most of the time
so they can earn a living
u and i, use the left
to sing that song and read a poem
at night
with our special friends
we toast wine
we light candles in the dark
we laugh together
at our shortcomings
we celebrate
anniversaries of our failures
we also remember
our little triumphs
we share our grief and joys
we are together in this
journey of the self
and the world
our brains fail us
and so we begin to resort to the heart
filled with so much emotions
and then we are drained
with so much love and departures
we invoke love
all the gods and goddesses of love and pity
on broken hearts
we surrender and yet we never promise
not to love and fail again
and then we resort to silence
and acceptance
we get used to all these processes of thought and feelings
emotions that burst and subside
we gaze at ourselves
in the mirror
white hairs cover our head
some bald and skinny and
gnarled-looking
and then we finally wish to reach the apex of this journey
murir es descansar
to God, to God, we all go back
HE is home.

Dancing Girls
Its all become a fantasy
She sits and reads about tiffanys
I moan all day about the state of the world
And the sun beats down
Her book if full of pastel shades
Filigree femmes in lusts of jade
While all around the bullets flew
And the sun beats down
Oh heavy heart, as deep as the endless sea
A thought for every fish, why dont you let them be
Your books so frivol, but Im tired of mine
Show me some
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
So many years but nothings changed
We curse the fire but we still feed its flames
My cards repeating the same sad song
Why dont you put them down?
Tonight is young, as young as she needs to be
Theres room for love, as much as there needs to be
Show me a drink, show me a smile
Show me some
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
Make me laugh and make me sing
