They're Noticing

I sit
An average day
I roll my arm over
He notices first
What happened to your arm?
I look at the cuts
That are freshly there
Nothing my cat attacked me
I say
He smiles and turns back around
But it's not my cat's fault
It's my fault
I made the cuts
With my old scissors
Next, She notices them
What happened?
I look at my arm
With the healing scars
Nothing, My cat
She smiles and laughs
I smile a little, too
But that poor cat
Taking the blame
When it's really me
And my scissors
Then, She tells me
You need to put your cuts
Some place else
People are noticing
Your cover is falling
Your cat won't last forever
I nod and cry
She tries to help
But what can she do
To make me stop
They're noticing, Darling
They're noticing

When It Cuts

cannot justify your envy
But I will be understanding when you stay
Then I will satisfy you in every (way)
But I'm not feeling coherent when you say
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again
Again
Though I'm right, I don't think I'll win this fight
But I'm trying though it's ripping me inside
Just in case that I'm taking up your space
I'll be feeling too, whatever's left inside
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again
I can't go on
I'm not that strong
I'm so alone
You just gotta set me free
I'm still living day, no way
I don't care what you say
Your eyes dispise my lies
Just say goodbye
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again
Again, again
Waste your breath

In the spirit of Rumi - 71 - In praise of Metaphor

It’s not a playground where
you run around shouting
without noticing whether
there’s a listener

or a playgroup where
there’s paper, paste, scissors,
all over the place,
thoughts pasted on thoughts,
without noticing anyone else

no, it’s some specific calling,
saying, see that far-off other?
we’re related; see us as together,
your surprise may tell you
about that vastness –

maybe, awe, wonder, beauty,
wisdom, truth…goodness…

so treat me, metaphor,
as if god’s priest:
respectfully, sparingly, carefully;
as you would look at twins,
each sleeping, but holding hands;

love requires that

Cuts

It's a tied rope
Life flips
Someone else
have found the mood
Break to another world
I got to tell them
I was the one before
and it's not my fault
I'm what you adore
Take my flesh I am real
What you gonna do
if I let you feel
Cuts
I'm not a maniac
Cuts
I'm not a maniac
The time is up
fighting against the miserables
When I step into your room
I know what's on your mind
So shut your mouth
I was the one before
I got your time
I'm what you ignore
It is true I'm healed
so what you gonna do with
if I let you feel
Cuts
I'm not a maniac
Cuts
I'm not a maniac
Say it I know you can't
Follow cause I'm to fast
Say it I know you can't
Lay with me
Say it I know you can
Follow cause I'm to fast
Say it, say it again
Cuts
I'm not a maniac
Cuts
I'm not a maniac
Cuts
I'm not a maniac
Say it, say it again

Not Significant

on a jackfruit
tree hangs
a brown
jackruit

wilted by
the past drought

no one notices
it
except myself
who writes
a note about
its
insignificance

below is
is a dead
black snake

no one notices
it except
myself

don't you notice
aren't you
surprised
why i keep
noticing
these insignificant
things?

beyond this view
is the murky
sea

possibly it rained
so hard
in the mountains

Cuts Both Ways

It cuts both ways
Our love is like knife
That cuts both ways
Its driven deep into my heart each time
That I realize
How it cuts both ways
Cant be together
Cannot live apart
Were heading straight into a broken heart
But I cant stop
(bridge)
cause I feel too much to let you go
Im hurting you and its hard I know
To stay and fight for what weve got
Knowing itll never be good enough
cause you and I are dangerous
We want too much and life aint that way
Dont ask for more
Dont be a fool
Havent we already broken every rule
It cuts both ways, were in too deep for sorry alibis
Cant have regrets or even question why
We cant say goodbye
Because it cuts both ways
No more illusions of the love we make
No sacrifice would ever be too great
If you would just stay
(bridge)
Cuts both ways
Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways
Its drivin deep into my heart each time I see we livin the lie
And it cuts both ways
It cuts both ways, mmm
Cuts both ways
Cuts both ways

Is Everyone Ready For The Cuts?

Is everyone ready for the cuts?

'Yes.
The people are waiting.
That is what we have promised.
And we must deliver.'

Then I shall proceed.

'Ouch.
What are you doing? '

Beginning the cuts.

'Do 'them' not us.'

You do not understand.
We are the reason the cuts are needed.

'But,
That means...
We are the ones going to suffer.'

The people demand a government that works,
For the good of the country.

'What's the matter with you?
No one expects us to deliver that.
Come on!
Those were just campaign speeches.
We all made them.
We are here to celebrate our victory.
Get rid of a few social programs.
And that's it.
OUCH! !
Stop that.'

I am not a career politician.
After I slit a few throats around here,
I know I will be sent back home.

The One

'Come over here' he said

'Let's you and me
talk private.

I've noticed you
noticing me
and I wonder if
that is illusion
and am I making it up
or if it is true
and you did
notice me.

If not fine
I'm gone.

If so
let's talk.
What is the truth?

She:
'Yes I noticed you-
I saw you;
I mean
but that is all-
I noticed'

He: 'Well what did you think of me
when you noticed me?
Did you like me? '

She: ,
'Like you?
I don't know you'
.
'Well what did you think.
Well I thought you, , , ,
Actually I didn't
I wasn't thinking
I was just noticing?
'
Ok, nothing
no spark?
'No, no spark.'

In my twenties i would look into every
face and ask
are you my Future One?

And each face I peered into
would be examined and evaluated
and ultimately graded
and done within 3 seconds.

But if one
noticed me
noticing
I would end up
in conversations
like the above one.

Alone Or Not Alone

I was left in the darkness
Everyone walked around me, taking no notice of me
I cry tears that are not noticed
Blood runs down my arm from the cuts that were made my my knife
I hear someone calling out to me
I look up
I see someone tht stands out of the crowd of strangers
A hand reaches over to me and picks me up
Tears stop and cuts heal
His smile warms my heart
His presents gave me the strength to get myself back on my feet
Strength returns to me and i smile at the sky, grateful to be alive
Im not alone anymore... or maybe i never was

Scars

I once knew a girl.
Who forever had scars and cuts upon her arms.
Hope was insribed.
Not in the colour of ink.
But in the colours of the scars.

With stitches on her skin.
Plus tears in her eyes.
And bumpy scars.
Filled with hate and shame.
For whats she done.
But she'll do it again.

She once saw someone.
They asked what is that on your arms.
Ciggerette burns came the reply.
Deep inside the girl was lost.

I once saw myself drowned in tears.
Cant understand the purpose of my being.
For the cuts and scars.
The pain goes so much deeper

No One Lives Forever

You worry too much / you make yourself sad
You cant change fate / but dont feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can / its just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!
Lets have a party theres a full moon in the sky
Its the hour of the wolf and I dont want to die
Im so happy dancing while the grim reaper
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he cant get me (Im as)
Clever as can be, and Im very quick, but dont forget
No one lives forever!!!
You think you got it rough / what about your darling doggy?
Ten short years / and hes getting old and groggy
I dont think its very fair
Cold, chop, low, but its all relative my friend cause
No one lives forever!!!
Lets have a party theres a full moon in the sky
Its the hour of the wolf and i
Dont want to die (but) . . .
No one beats him at his game
For very long but just the same
Who cares, theres no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
cause any second it may end.
And when its all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust (cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one . . . . . . . (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (hey!)

Cuts Like A Knife

Drivin' home this evening
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt

The I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new
Well who is he baby - who is he
And tell me what he means to you

I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go

Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right

There's times I've 'bin mistaken
There's tines I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could

This would be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away

Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right

Yes Im Glad

Lend an ear to what I have to say
The rain outside has stopped with you to play
But if you notice just what I am noticing
Youll be glad
Step outside
Step outside youll find
Look above
Look above your mind
Lend an ear to what I have to say
The sun outside is going to shine today
But if you notice what I am noticing
You will be glad
Look around
Look around youll find
See the sound
See the sound of mind
Lend an ear to what I have to say
Turn around and see the light of day
Yes, I know just what you are noticing
Are you glad
Thank you for all you have given me
The reasoning to see what is good and bad
And I am thankful finding a way to
See the way and feel the way I am
I said look around
Look around youll find
See the sound
See the sound of mind
Lend an ear to what I have to say
Turn around and see the light of day
Yes I notice what youre noticing
Are you glad
Yes, Im glad
Are you glad
Yes, Im glad
Are you glad

Making Of A Rose(Triolet)

Just making of a rose a Rose
Cuts and folds plastic or paper
Then paints with all pink rouged a Rose
Just making of a rose a Rose

Blooms, scents, charms rosy Rose her rose
Thorns and scissors-they don't differ
Just making of a rose a Rose
Cuts and folds plastic or paper

Cutting edge

Like a sharp knife
cutting through a bitter lemon
into red lips dripping

the hairdresser takes my pleasantries,
chops them with a cruel hand,
throws them back in pieces in my face

snip snip into blond hair, brown hair, black, grey, white,
what heroic restraint, condemned
to a lifetime’s cutting, and not
to plunge the scissors into a spinal cord…

this little girl who cut her finger with
her mother’s scissors perhaps
to try to explain how they cut her heart
her love that would grow like hair

how can I know the heart
of this woman who cuts my hair
so expertly.. snip, snip..

Beginning of destruction

pride it’s all your fault
Pride it’s all your fault we in this mess
Pride it’s all your fault we are suffering
Pride it’s all your fault people are shedding blood
Pride it’s all your fault families are destroyed
Pride it’s all your fault people are so greedy and selfish
Pride it’s all your fault people have no love
Pride it’s all your fault are so jealous of each other
Pride it’s all your fault people are so lost
Pride it’s all your fault dying from this horrible diseases
Pride it’s all your fault we have so many orphans
Pride it’s all your fault people are betraying each other
Pride it’s all your fault are dying of hunger
Pride it’s all your fault fathers are sleeping with their children
Pride it’s all your fault people are so heartless
Pride it’s all your fault there is no peace, unity and harmony in this world
Pride it’s all your fault we have all this sorrow
Pride it’s all your fault God has rejected us
Pride it’s all your fault people are so evil
And they have decided to be in love with evil rather than good
You have ruined this world
You are to blame for all this misery
If lucifer did not have pride in his heart we wouldn’t be in this mess
Pride it all your fault! ! !

Savage Earth Heart

Ooooh!
...let me see the savage
I want to see the savage coming
Crashing through your face
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through
I wanna be a witness
Or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
Dressed in shadows
Red like a carousel
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
...cuts through
Will you lay all of your
Deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
Rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!
Then I was taken smoothly
By the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That numbs the tongue
And he led me like a cinder
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends and to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
...cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
Then my savage earth heart
...cuts through
And the culture of the soul laid waste

Change

you woke me up at 3:00 a.m.
to tell me about the fire
you said that she was more than a friend
you were consumed by your desire

CHORUS:

and so it goes
this too shall pass away
it cuts so strange
the only thing that stays the same
is change

your love was here but now its gone
and your eyes no longer want me
and now i can't hold back the dawn
and the truth that seems to haunt me

CHORUS

the only thing that stays the same
is change

the only thing that stays the same
is change

i'm not so sure where i have been
i don't know just where i'm going
hard as i hold it in my hand
i can't stop this wind from blowing

and so it goes
this too shall pass away
it cuts so strange
roll me away
it cuts so strange
the only thing that stays the same
is change

Nursing Home Neglect

I've seen those who are suffering very bad
Those whose mere existence very sad
I am blessed to be well and alive each day
For those people I continue to pray
I have seen so much neglect and abuse
For the young and elderly never a truce
So hopelessly lying in their beds, day in day out
They can't say a word, just an occasional shout
Have to lie in their waste most of the time
Their bodies covered with dirt and grime
Does anyone out there really care?
Or is this a cross for the poor elderly to bear
They can't eat or drink when they need to
It's not their decision, not part of the crew
Their minds are gone and they can't remember
So taken advantage of, a smoldering ember
They have no control over their life anymore
Often found in their rooms, laying on the floor
The cuts on their head, don't know what happened
They either fell or had a good slapping
Call an ambulance they say out loud
Keep it quiet, don't want a crowd
They can't tell the hospital, what happened to them
Can't remember anything, the home was a gem
Many broken bones and cuts on their face
Is this normal routine at this horrible place
So bad an infection, that they finally die
Who's to blame, the death certificates a lie
The hospital doesn't report the neglect
It's not their problem, what the heck
The doctor lies to make it so easy
Has no consience, he's pretty sleazy
If you have a loved, better check where you put them
Because most of them are bad and need condemned
My mother is gone to a better place now
It's in heaven, where there is plenty of chow
She is not neglected or abused anymore
God knows what happens, and isn't found in the floor
She's singing and dancing and waiting for me
She's sad no longer but full of glee
God will restore what was done to her
Since she's in heaven with her new transfer!
