Poison Was The Cure
I miss the warm embrace I felt
First time you touched me
Secure and safe in open arms
I should have known youd crush me
A snake you were when we met
I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poisoned fangs
The venom never goes away
Serpent swims free in my blood
Dragons sleeping in my veins
Jacky| speaking with tongue
Roach egg laying in my brain
Once stalked beneath your shadow
Sleepwalking to the gallows
Im the sun that beats your brow in
Til I finally threw the towel
Never knowing if Id wake up in a
Whirlpool got redundant
My brain was just some driftwood
In a cesspool I became dead
]from a rock star to a desk fool
Was my destiny someone said
Loves a tidepool
Taste the waters lifes abundant
Taste me

She Storms My Brain
She storms my brain
in psychedelic colors
and discordant rhythms,
leaving me breathless
as I explore new shapes
and forms of knowing.
Like Lucy in the sky
and Marijane-
she storms my brain-
my strange new flower
with feverish bright petals
that leave me mystified.
She dances to the synesthetic
music of red and orange
notes that I can taste upon
my tongue, laughing like
a transparent angel
in a warm summer rain-
yes, there she goes again
storming my brain.
And I have no way of knowing
where I am or where I'll be-
I just come out deranged
and beautiful, smiling like
the sun. And she...
Well, she just laughs at me
and storms my brain.

Defamatory
what you said
was too defamatory
you paid him money
to tell a lie
and he got the money
and told the lie
the lie becomes a snake
with sharp fangs
the fangs contained the venom
and now
it spits back at you
you may not be dead
but i know that you are numb
for more lies
you too has become the snake
that spits the venom
that has grown fangs
now so immune
you manufacture all the lies
in that snake pit
of yours
how can the gods explain
such existence as you?

Let the Blood Rush Out
Midday I lay
Here in the dark
Fever rages
Extinguish it won't
Will not cool down
Try to run
Try to hide
Can not as the danger
Steeps deep inside
Finally clear
What must come to be
Extreme but the risk is less
Than the damage already done......
So open up my heart
Let the blood rush out
Spill out what's left of you
So I can start anew
Rewire all my cells
So they'll forget your touch
Send the ether of your scent
Out of my burning lungs
Let my eyes stop seeking
And be blind to your face
My lips to stop wanting
Just one more sumptous taste
Keep my hands from trying
To hold you in my arms
My body from aching
Each time I hear your name
Wash my brain from thinking
Your song is the only one
My spine from breaking
Under the absense of your lust
Let not one hair upon my head
Know the pleasure nor the pain
Of the pulling on my heart
And the pushing of the same
And when it's done
All blood run out
Finally cured
My soul will rise
Free of the fire
That burns in vain for you

My Heart Beats For You
I felt the love so deep in my heart
Like a knife tearing me apart
I felt your breath in every
Pulsating blood vessel flowing
Through my veins, and I knew
That my life would never be the same.
I felt my heart wanting to break
Every time I’d look at your face.
Your eyes would take me on a long journey
To places I’ve never been before
Like in a whirlpool going round and round
And my self going further down.
You are every breath of my life
Every desire in my soul
And you are the one I want to hold.
My heart has become an open book
Pick it up and take a look.
My heart no longer has anything to hide
So come on down and climb inside.
Look at the way a heart truly beats for you
And there is nothing that I wouldn’t do.
To capture your love and put it in a bottle
For all the world to see, that your love
Belongs to me.
This is my heart and I give it to you
Like a bee gives us honey
Taste the sweetness and the joy it brings
For your love is my everything.

Kissing In The Park
A magnetic circle of attraction supported by nature’s rapture
Damn, I’ve been captured
A soupcon of love in the dark
Now tranquilized by his touch
We begin kissing in the park
A brittle prey, his venom fills my veins
I invite his angelic restrains
I’ve become a predator’s mark
I’ve been taken, kissing in the park
To my surprise I found more than a star
Lured by this idyllic yard
Close to falling please don’t stop
Let’s continue kissing in the park
I am drawn to this lethal noxious snake
Its vibrant rattle and clandestine strength
Paralyzed I am ready to be its bait
I’ve been ambushed by its flare
How could I have missed this penetrating stare
From this silly search for truth or dare
I’ve been stunned, a piercing metal dart,
An everlasting sting received from kissing in the park
The perfect trap, it’s a wrap
I can’t resist this urge to be submerged
I feel heat; it ricochets off my predator’s fangs
It travels in pursuit of my pulse, this line he sang
A deadly dagger used to plan his feast
I’ve been poisoned to say least
All this for kissing in the park
I never thought to be smart
Who would have known to avoid it from the start
No longer in the dark a bright white light
It’s a pattern, no its art
With open eyes I embrace this fate,
The predator before me has backed away
Now watching my head tilt, on a shoulder it lays
I’ve been felt in a haze
My venomous snake has disappeared among the clouds
The ruffling of tree leaves the only sound
I was surrounded by a sweet embrace with a heavenly human face
It was not death I faced, the lost of life to a snake
It was the taste of passion the bite that nourished life
Alive I embarked on love
In this idyllic yard by kissing in the park

That First Taste Of Wildness
oh, that first taste of wildness,
danger electric, intoxicating,
walking on the edge,
flapping your arms
...as if you could fly!
the first kiss, the first warm bodied
lover naked in your arms,
the first taste of flesh....
the first whisper of secrets exchanged,
the first tear of parting.
the first battle fought, the first time
knocked down, struggling to your feet,
the first taste of blood,
the first questions why,
the first resolve to endure!
the first bareback ride,
the first motorcycle too fast,
the first spinning out of control....
the first laugh to hide your fear,
the first brush with mortality!
oh, that first taste of wildness,
that never leaves your mouth!

Loves Gone Bad
Ah I feel a fountain in my brain
Ice-cold water runnin through my pain
Got a bad taste in my mouth from bitter tears
Heart so sad cause loves gone bad
I see a rainbow all in black
Must be a sign that you aint comin back
Wake up at night callin your name
I see a face on my window pane
Ive been this way since youve been gone
Without your love I cant go on
Look in the mirror, what do I see?
A cryin face, kinda looks like me
Now wheres the love you promised me?
Wheres he tenderness to comfort me?
Everytime some love I choose
I seem to always be the one to lose
Bad taste in my mouth from bitter tears
Heart fells sad cause loves gone bad
Loves gone bad, heart fells bad
Black crows flying up above
Its a sign that I live life without love
Slimes on the man, slimes ont the sea
Slimes everywhere I said Im destined to be
And this world where nothings right
Since youve been gone I cant sleep at night
You said youd be true to me
Instead you made a fool out of me
Heart feels sad, loves gone bad

Snake Bite
Snake bite
Venom strikes
Into your bloodstream it goes
To kill you slow
Oh so slow
Watch the venom as it flows
Your blood it pulses
Your body convulses
Onto the floor you'll be
Deader than dead
Venom as thick as lead
Anger in the snake's head
A poison quick
The killer kiss
Snake venom is the way to
Death's Slow Bliss

Love is Dead
Artistic brain-drain
occurring after loss-
when words fail and wither
on parched, broken lips.
Not knowing self from Self,
bouncing from warm bed to warm body-
Loss of identity and direction.
Wandering, wondering-
wishing on a shooting star, but
the stars above are ghosts long dead.
Artistic suffocation
occurring during rapture-
two bodies entwined;
legs, arms, hearts, all broken and
remade, though easily broken again.
Lost in a kiss, embrace; drowning in
raw lust, all stale and purple-
writhing under the dead dead stars.

Its Always Australia For Me
(olivia newton-john/john capek)
As a young girl I came here by the sea
To a new home for my family
It welcome us with open arms
A chance to live my dream
And theres no place that Id rather be
Yes-its always australia for me
As the years went on I moved far away
And I always said Id come back some day
I think about it all the time
My friends all here me say
That theres no place that Id rather be
Yes-its always australia for me
Live-love knowing that were all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And theres no place that Id rather be
Yes-its always australia for me
Live-love knowing that were all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And theres no place in the world Id rather be
Happy birthday to aussie from me

Watching Her Sleep
He loves to watch her sleep.
Likes to hear her breathe in
And out; see her breasts rise
And fall like sleeping giants.
He likes how she exudes a
Sense of peacefulness as if
Angels touched her brow and
Breathed a deeper love somehow.
He loves how her red lips move
In silent conversation, how now
And then her tongue brushes her
Lower lip with moisture of saliva.
Should he wake her from deep sleep?
Ought he to kiss her lips and bring
Her from sleep’s warm hold? Should
He touch her limbs with lust to life?
No, no, don’t wake her from her sleep,
Too dangerous; for although he is her
Lover, she’s his busy boss’s pretty wife.

Hot Toddy
Warm
Brown
Sugar
Vanilla
Silky smooth
Makes me relax and forget about my day
As she infects me
Everything inside me begins to sing
Steam rises
And in its wafting presence
Is her scent
Her sweetness is not overpowering
Because it's all real
I place her at my lips and take a drink
Instant comfort
Makes me feel like I'm covered in a perfect
Warm
Soft
Cozy
Feels like I'm home
A place I felt safe
Blanket
She's the perfect mix of sweet with a kick
The color of brown amber liquid
Soothing, as I taste her on my tongue
Instantly, I want another drink of her
She travels through and through me
Leaving warmth in her wake
A low flame in my veins
A dying fire on a winter's night..
Giving me just enough heat to want to stay close
I take another sip..
She leaves a smile on my face
And, when I'm done
I finish with a knowing
That soon,
I'll want her again

Open Arms
If love is what you want
Baby here I am
If tenderness is what you need
Ive got that to give
If you need some affection
Baby these are open arms
Open arms open arms open arms open arms
You come hem youve had a hard day
Every door you tried to open
Was closing in your face
Im right here Ill be right here
Ill embrace you
Ill be open with my heart
Ill let you in
Ill be open with my thoughts
Ill be your best friend
If you need some attention
Baby these are open arms
Open arms open arms open arms open arms
Every corner you turn
Trouble come your way
But when you get home
Ill try to be there
And Ill embrace you
These are

These are
Open arms
If time is what you need
Baby Ill stop the clocks
If youre looking for something
Maybe Ive got what you want
If theres one thing to remember
Dont forget that these are open arms
Open arms open arms open arms open arms
These are
These are
These are
Open arms

Dead Rock Star
(feat. The Stooges)
They think that I've got the bread
They want to read my head
The position show his cool
Like football star in school
Someone to sell me
Someone to tell me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
I'm so afraid of failing
I hang onto the railing
This cold hard graduation
Kills all infatuation
I took the hazing
They said "amazing"
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
I gathered awful knowledge
You cannot get in college
Would you like Cain or Abel
I'll bring them to the table
They try to rope me
They try to grope me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
What can I hope for ?
What can I hope for ?
Nothing to live for
Nothing to live for
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star

Destiny
Look at the world outside
Beware its evil tide
Too many endless days
Cold streets and alleyways
The poor come crawling out
They speak but never shout
I think youd rather be alone
Youre hiding in a shell
So easy I can tell
Can you sell me some thoughts
Though drugs just cant be bought
Tell me is it some crime
To wait a long time
I think youd rather be alone
Can you hear me
Can you see
I dont want this destiny
To be destined
Destiny
Somethings been happening here
Dont touch
Dont come so near
Dont ask me to reply
Cant think of no more lies
The hand thate reaches out
Can crush without a doubt
I think youd rather be alone
Oh much is left unexplained
Its getting to my brain
Yet still you wear that smile
Then walk your crooked mile
Some day youre bound to learn
Too late
Theres no return
I think youd rather be alone
Can you hear me
Can you see
I dont want this destiny
To be destined
Destiny

One more time for M'lady Ernestine
I yearn to see the dragons fly.
Just one more time before I die
As I did so long ago.
Around Mount Kilimanjaro
I slept beneath the moonlit sky
and often saw the dragons fly.
It was a privilege to see
the dragons dancing gracefully
But I fell ill and had to go
back to the city far below.
Where the doctors treating me
convinced me it was fantasy.
Induced by fever of the brain.
When I was fully fit again
a crisis in the family.
Meant that I was no longer free
To indulge my wanderlust
I had no choice but to adjust
to the rules of society.
I am sure where I’d rather be.
In Africa where I could see
The silver dragons flying free.
I know I have not long to live
But what I have I’d gladly give.
To see the dragons one last time
To see them circle swoop and climb
Around mount Kilimanjaro
As I did so long ago.

Look The Other Way
I know shes sleeping with him
But it cant be true
She loves me too much
Thats just something she wouldnt do
Now you may say I look the other way
You may think Im blind
But I say dont go looking for what you dont want to find
Wouldnt I be the one that youd come running to
Wouldnt they be my arms
I look into your eyes as you tenderly hold me
So safe and secure, oh how I wish I were
I know shes sleeping with him
But it cant be true...
I say to myself, Ive given all I can
I tell myself this game must end
But in the mirror do I see a new man
Or will I look the other way again?
I know shes sleeping with him
But it cant be true...
I know it, you know it, everybody knows it
I cant look the other way
I wont look the other way again

Brain Shake
Alright, hold tight
I really want to ball tonight
On my fender, no space defender
I enjoy it on the floor, I get it tight
Toe to toe with the blood below
Fee fia foo smell the blood of rock n roll
All night drive on the rockin suicide
My feet are jumping, shes a joy to ride
Joy to ride, a joy to ride
Shes an all night drive on the rockin suicide
And its a brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
All I can take
Brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
Shes a mean lean rocking machine
A hip hugging blue jean dream
Shes a one horse town (? ) with a sweet sweet kiss
Her hips are right around me
And its toe to toe with the blood below
Fee fia foo smell the blood of rock n roll
All night drive on the rockin suicide
My feet are jumping, shes a joy to ride
Joy to ride, a joy to ride
Shes an all night drive on the rockin suicide
And its a brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
Ready to shake
Brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
Its a brain shake brain shake brain shake
For mercy sake
Brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
Shes a joy to ride
Joy to ride, a joy to ride
Shes an all night drive on the rockin suicide

Wake Me Up Before You Go-go
You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high
When your loving starts
A jitterbug into my brain
Till my feet do the same
But somethings bugging me
Something aint right
My best friend told me what you did last night
You left me sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming but I should have been with you instead
Chorus:
Wake me up before you go-go
Dont leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I dont wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
cos Im not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
You put the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than doris day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
cos youre my lady
Im your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on baby lets not fight
Well go dancing
Everything wiil be alright
Chorus:
Cuddle up baby, move in tight
Well go dancing tomorrow night
Its cold out there but its warm in bed
They can dance
Well stay at home instead
Chorus to fade

Don't let me drowned in your own sea
What's it feel like to be loved?
What's it feel like to wake up every day, with the
Most beautiful girl in the world laying beside you?
My heart had turned the darkest shade of blue,
It felt like bullets had pierced on threw,
Life was living under a dim light,
And threw my pains, I could only bare the slightest screams,
Ropes were rapping around my body as my internal clock stuck midnight,
And all my dreams,
Were lost in an endless empyreal of hate than remorse.
And I felt my life had finished its course,
But than an angel came from unknown light,
Making my heart begin a new flight.
When I see her face,
That smile,
That feeling of sublime,
Those open arms waiting for me,
I wondered, what she sees in me,
When I star into her eyes, I'm lost sailing on the longest sea,
And life stops abruptly,
at that second,
And I wish with my soul, that she will never leave,
And I believe,
that I will never again grieve,
Because my heart yearns to be with hers,
And at that time only one thing occurs,
My life has started anew
And I can only utter three words,
I love you.
