Blind innocence, _ excitation in the Mirage
There, at top,
Lonely poplar sublime in a Mirage, _
Naked letters without a metaphor,
The eremite did not notice beauty of a cypress,
And in it there was a pleasure …
Blind innocence, _ excitation in the Mirage,
Squeezed out love juice of the moon …

I am just a mirage
Oh - I am just a mirage
When you look at me
Thru your crystal glass you will see
That I am now your past
But you give your love to me
In your life I wasnt meant to be.
Oh I am just a mirage
Oh I am just a mirage
Just a mirage fading away like water
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
I am just a mirage
But until that day has come
When you say Ill be your only one
I will live the way its meant for me
With ups and downs and mystery.

Mirage
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Is your love darling just a mirage?
From the distance, you call to me like an oasis
Though your kisses, keep drawing me near
Is your love a mirage that will disappear?
Like a man in the desert, Im lost
Is this dream just a trick of my imagination
Though I thirst for your lips, night and day
Is your love a mirage that will fade away?
How I pray, heaven answered my prayer
When I reach out for you, youll be there
In the search for my love will be through
Like a dream a mirage, will come true
How I pray, heaven answered my prayer
When I reach out for you, youll be there
In the search for my love will be through
Like a dream a mirage, will come true
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage

Dating For Lonely People
Like a mirage in a desert
Is dating for lonely people
It would solve the problem,
Can be seen in the mind's eye,
It seems to be near,
Until you reach out to touch it.
You move
And it moves.
Even though it gets clearer,
You are no nearer.
Something is wrong
With lonely people
Or their vision
Of the mirage
Of dating for lonely people.

Lookit here

The lights go out
The smell of doom
Is creepin into your lonely room
The beds on fire
Your fate is sealed
And youre so tired
And the reason is camille-mille
Shockadelica
The girl must be a witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched
Shockadelica
You need a second opinion
But she never wears a stitch
So you cant take her home
She got you tied with a golden rope
She wont let you play your guitar
And when youve cried enough
Maybe shell let you up
For a nasty ride in her shockadeli-car
Shell make you beg (please) girl
Shockadelica
Got you in a trance
cause when this woman say dance you dance

You need a second opinion
But you just cant leave her alone
As though you got no mind of your own

The smell of doom

Is this a dream
Or is this real (or is this real)
Or is this just a mirage you feel

She got your mind, body, and soul hitched

Again is creeping into your lonely room

Or is this just a mirage you feel

My Mirage
In my mind I see a mirage on the wall,
But unfortunately its not there at all.
So I guess Ill draw my mirage on the wall,
Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all.
My mirage, Ill be drawing you soon.
Then all of the beautiful people that come to our home,
Theyll be seeing you too.
My mirage,
Ill be drawing you soon,
My mirage, Ill be seeing you soon.
In my mind I see a mirage on the wall,

The Secret Pond
you know the way to the secret pond of my heart
meet me there
and stay there for a while
do you not notice the wild grass growing there?
think of me as the unintended
think of me as the wanton beauty of the grass
that plans nothing to spread anywhere
think of me as a free vine
bringing soon a flower to you lips
do you notice the grey stones blunt and the pebbles black?
think of me as a certain hardness uncracked by the pain
of infidelities, think of me as pebbles that you through
after some sweet confidences after some utility
think of me as a stone that may kill a mocking bird
do you notice the stagnant waters there?
still, and quiet, and not flowing
it is what my love is all about, no noise, no words, no transfering
from one brook to another
do you notice my absence? be patient, wait for a while.
soon i may come but like a cloud above that secret pond
i may just be a drifter, a passer by, a vagabond, a wisp of air, a hush
a ghost, a phantom, an image, a shadow, a mirage.
yes, it will still be sad and lonely.

Making Of A Poem
What's a poem?
It's a metaphor, it's a metaphor,
What's a metaphor?
'It is a device for seeing something in terms of something else.
It brings out the thisness of that, or a thatness of this.'
How do I write a metaphor?
Think of rain as the cry of the heavens,
Think of love as a rose,
Think of burning candle as the agony of a lonely heart.
How do I piece together metaphors?
On a moonlit night, I see my love reflected in the moon's silvery light,
Holding her tight, I smell the fragrance of jasmine tonight,
Adoring her smile, I see the beauty of monarch butterflies,
Staring in her eyes, I see the oasis of love in my high desert lonely life.
How do I write a poem?
I love her but have not a spoken a word.
You have the inspiration, put in some romantic words.
On a beautiful moon lit night, I wonder who is prettier,
When I look at you, I forget about the moon.
Knit together love, loneliness, fear and tears of heart,
Into a beautiful tapestry of emotions and feelings that mask your heart,
Stitch some metaphors, make it a heartwarming comforter.

A Dance in the Moonlight
The night so serene
As whispers of the cool breeze
Touch my soul with a calmness not known before
It is a full moon tonight my love, sleep no more
Away to the mountain top we go
To relieve the pleasure of the night
Beaky birds as couples hurried to nest
Chatting the lover’s song
The fragrance of your closeness I breathe
And the succulence of your womanhood I feel
As we tango in the naked night
With no emotion to hide
I live for this dance every full moon
My Cinderella whose face is hidden
Dressed in red all in a mirage
I woke up again, to meet an empty bed.

Forgotten Hills
Again I was giving chase
to a mirage.
Wiping off the transient thoughts
oozing from every orifice,
I will sell my dreams today.
Limb by limb,
the naked and brute will buy
the bonanza.
For a lost scent
I wandered from moon to moon
flitting past the sky of doves,
and the lonely winds
of crowded griefs.
The trampled earth
will not soak the joy of burning sun.
The tree and the flowers,
and the seeds falling in a heap
went unnoticed.
Now I will go in the forgotten hills
through mist and rains.
Give me some more pain,
it makes me move faster.

Echo is the mirage of Sound

echo it is - the mirage - of sound
i walk into a concert - happening
at the other side
body - it is the mirage - of the soul
i walk into it - to be told i have -
a choice to make - between heaven and hell

Adinkra Symbols
I am the girl that you seein the mirror and,
I want to climb on a ladder to reach to the top;
But who will please me and show me love?
For my social life and my school life have stories,
And these have made me what i am today with my sweet love.
I have the 'Adinkra Symbols' all over me and,
You need to look into the mirror always!
For my love will reflect back to you like a mirage because,
I am ready to share my hot games with you.
I am the girl that you see always in your mirror and,
I want to love you for what you are;
Because the day and the night will be with you always,
And like a mirage across the muse of your sweet heart.

Could Ive Been So Blind
How could Ive been so blind
So empty that Ive never felt warm
Can I spell it out
Turn myself out of my home
Lookin like a fool
Feelin even worse than it seems
Tryin hard as nails
Believin only in myself
And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know whats wrong
Feeling lonely thats the way it goes
Sometimes
But my greatest fear
Paint a smile from ear to ear
Alone and cryin
Living like this is no better than dying
I tell you baby things are gonna change
Looking like we were caught out in the rain
Feeling lonely
Thats the way it goes
Sometimes
Chorus:
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Solo
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Hardest thing I ever had to do
Was stand up straight and tell it all to you
Look you right in the eye
Tell you baby sorry but I have lied
And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know whats wrong
Feeling lonely thats the way it goes
Sometimes
(repeat chorus 4 times)

An Elegy to Heart
Heart within heart
Life within life
A hope?
A mirage?
A foolish whim?
Unfulfilled hopes
Testing idealism
Unnerving anxieties
Dark lonelinesses…
Ah!
When love, scarce
When the known, a caricature
When companionship, a test
When heart shatters in silence
When agony performs a ghost dance
Still…
To love as you’re
To love me as I’m
Isn’t that a vain hope?
Isn’t that a mirage
Ah, a foolish whim?

Is There Anything Wrong In The Wanting of This?
Is there anything wrong,
In providing an environment...
In which one prefers quietness,
Than the conflicts of daily argument.
Is there anything wrong with not wanting this?
Especially if it comes to one who has invested,
In the elimination of certain relationships...
That did not fit to mix,
With a growth that is felt matched up with.
Is there anything wrong with not wanting this?
I hope not.
I would hate to be the one to admit,
The happiness I have that has arrived...
Means nothing more than a mirage described.
When I know...
On the other side of a door I turn my key,
Peace and harmony is there to greet me.
And I,
Can sit and eat.
To fall asleep,
Butt naked if I choose to.
Is there anything wrong in the wanting of this?
I hope not.
I would hate to be the one to admit,
The happiness I have that has arrived...
Means nothing more than a mirage described.

The Blind Love
The blind love
Beauty and love
Together resided
Heavenly resorts above
And were guided
By the spirits divine
Incited them to always align
Gamboled they hand in hand
Place like a fairy land
Happy like victorious prince
Jealous were the happiness thence
Love, importune for beauty
Forgetting her divine duty
Hovered over like a moth
On the lightened luminous path
Never would they go astray
Promised under the broad day
One night they were making love
The beauty saw shining moon above
The moon light was so sweet
Beauties praised it and too repeat
Love was jealous of beauty infidel
Could not bear the moon rival
Come at beauty with a hard blow
Plucked out love’s eyes glow
Since that day the love is blind
And the beauty does not mind
Love and beauty part the way
Since that day are at bay

Island of Lust
I stand in the Island of lust
Surrounded by angels with dirty devil looks
Surreal yet so beautiful
Temptation in my mind
Where love remains helpless & blind
Eyes closed I take the pleasure inside
Leaving my values far aside
I don’t dream of love
It reminds me of you
I know this soul of mine
Has to do without you
Shame carved in my heart
I drown my self in guilt
I cry out for your love
In Vain I try to hold your hand
Happiness seems like a mirage
In a world made of sand
Oh dearly I searched for your hand
To take me away from this lust inhabited land

The Vanished Mirage. by Ray Subrata
Yes dear, with my feeling, and heart,
I wish to share your part.
Stir your brimming brook,
My hooker’s madness in your hook,
Thus happiness gives us Life’s delight,
It withdraws darkness even in night.
A flattery, an wise, taunted.
And I acquiesce, with pain,
For love needs no praise,
If so it leads to dreary mirage.
A liberated Vagabond, cried,
Oh! No advance more a step,
Desire of flesh and lurking rape,
I disclosed to my lady love,
And with a smiles she said,
If it were so, to them I had to serve,
And like you they were paid,
The intoxicated rape vanished mirage,
And they died in me slaving allotted age.

All That Jazz
I thought they were over.
All those lonely years.
Souls rolling in clover.
Until the mirage disappears.
Now I kiss the moon adieu.
As on my window pane
Run the tears of rain.
And music
Ascends in blue.
All that jazz
Plays back to me
As we danced
And kissed with urgency.
These memories stab
As they fly.
Oh God
Who wouldn't cry.
I thought I was your lover.
After all my scars had healed.
Never knew
I would recover.
Until your beauty was revealed.
You rescued me my dear.
Shipwrecked
And trembling.
Now all That jazz I hear.
Played back to me.
Cruelly assembling
A mental picture
In a frame.
Of you and I,
Waving goodbye
To a love I couldn't tame.
Oh God
Who wouldn't cry.
