so, i got to thinking
about all those words
planted in my language
where fertility grew them
to leave and stalk and pod

the farmer's words scatter
my fields like seed on clod
watered by thundering flashes
awash, fertilized and germinating

progeny seedlings, my own growth
in some time-lapse photography
writhing their creamy roots
into earthy loam and droning
on through a summer daze

into fruits of sweaty labors
on humid chlorophylled days
silks sultry green, stalking me
through rows and rows as far
as i can see, if i squint

the farmer, suspended in time
stands with his hands in pocket
or on some implement toed to soil
and surveys life's prospects
for this season, before the

days bake the green back into
the humus and the cornucopia
spills the field and orchard
this verse of the farmer's song
picked and stowed away cool

eyes closed now, ears gently
strain to hear, worldly phrasing
come from where? my larder
or some ancestor gleaning meaning
and dropping it into her apron

to carry home to hungry minds
to feed them something of today
and sustain them through a fallow
solstice and the chilled breeze

any cultivation harvested over
picked clean and harrowed flat
nearly time to plow it under again
while the farmer gazes the horizon
and sips something in his cup

I am a man without good fortune
My heart can be filled with love for a bit
but then it goes and my heart lands back in the pit
for a while I have something special
then it turns to dust
my heart to beat without love
my soul to remain empty seems to be a must
I pray, i wish, I hope.
but my words are not heard
I feel I am cursed
I will continue to pray, to wish,
and hope One day my curse will be lifted
and my heart and soul will be gifted

It is Christmas and we have the santa claus parade
The children are excited restless and await
The crowd is waiting for the big man in red
I am enjoying the music and the singers
The floats are wonderful the elves are busy
It is a parade that is full of excitement
Love this time of year
It is the festive season
Everyone is happy and the children are rambunctious
It is a fun time for everyone
Let the festivities begin
The snow man is smiling at the children
The reindeers are eagerly awaiting the trip
Presents are being wrapped
People are holding on to their breath
It is a time to celebrate
The parade marches on and on
The drums are setting the tone
The bagpipes are providing the narmony
and santa and his elves are talking christmas
This is a wonderful day for the family
So get out and sing a few songs
It is all good

Look at this face
You can't help but smile
Even if your in a bad place

It can light up your life
In so many ways
A very positive start

That Happy face is saying
“That warm feeling in your heart
Is the love of mother earth”

The simple things in life
Are the ones to cherish
They keep us sane or we will perish

Have you ever seen the sun,
Shining high up in the sky
Shining when there wasn’t one
And didn’t know the reason why?

Could it be because my dear
That I did no longer fear
That I would have no one to hold
As the darkness took it’s hold

Always sleeping alone each night
Fearing another sleepless night.
Never knowing love again
Destined for a life of pain

You took me from that life of fear
And wiped away all my tears
You broke the chain that held me tight
Trying hard to make it right.

With all my walls and fears abound
You found the way to walk around
Those walls I built to keep me safe
And took me to a different place

Now I know the reason why
I see the sun up in the sky
It’s your love that’s shining bright
Showering me with it’s bright light

Memories drift ashore in the tide
Coming back, washing up again
Much is cast out and tries to hide
But seldom are they taken then

Clogging deepest consciousness
A clutter of conflicting emotion
Beware unhealthy anxiousness
Remove such inner commotion

A lonely walk with silent feelings
Bare feet footsteps and naked soul
Feeling like a whale a’ breaching
Unsure what’s blowing out the hole

All thoughts are created energy
So seek to create and not destroy
Be mighty careful of each boundary
Remembering life is to enjoy

Full of colour and so very gay
my voice it can be very shrill
keep me happy so I won't stray

See my feathers all in array
I sit and watch upon the sill
Full of colour and so very gay

Keep that beak of mine at bay
I can use it with such great skill
keep me happy so I won't stray

Now watch my fancy foot play
as I sit here and preen a quill
Full of colour and so very gay

so just sit and watch my byplay
its fun and will give you a thrill
keep me happy so I won't stray

thus my joy for you I will relay
fill my tray you know the drill
full of colour and so very gay
keep me happy so I won't stray

"Hey baby,, I got a new book,,come over
here and take a look",,,
So I wandered on over,, like I was in
clover,,,peaceful and happy,,,
till she said make it snappy,,,,, she
opened a page,,,just where she sat,,,
pointed to it and said,,,"I wanna do THAT",,,,,
I said honey,,,you're being funny,,,
I've too much blubber and I aint made
of rubber,,,,,no matter what you say,
there's no possible way,,,,but she
wouldn't take no,,,,so I agreed,,,once
we took it slow,,,,but she dived right
on in,,,it was practically a sin,,,my
hip got disjointed,, I got lockjawed,
she was disappointed,,,,it was over
just like that,,,,I was concussed,,
laid out flat,,,no more of that!
so beware of your mate,,,dont take
the bait,,,its all an illusion,,,just results
in contusion,,,,take my word it
won't suit ya,,,,,that's the

kama sutra

Drunk and Crazy
But Im allright
Tryin' to get over this night
And Im allright
Dancin' on Fire
That's how i go
Hair is nasty
And im just fine
Heart is broken
But Im allright
No words spoken
Only needs are talkin'
And Im allright
It hurts
But im gonna pass this night

Im without u
For the first night of many nights
But Im Allright !

I've traded this life as well as my name
So I'd have all the fame…

Got my name in flashing neon lights
Shining brightly through the nights…

I hit all the coolest bars
Drove the fanciest cars...

It's a life that’s cheep
I've lost so much sleep…

The thing about money
It isn't sweet like honey…

The greed
Kept me in such need…

All of Hollywood’s schemes
I got lost in so many dreams…

Crazy thoughts go through my head
As all of those drugs make me feel dead…

Fame isn't what I thought it would be
Now all I want is to be... ME!...
