...It was one of those parties with
red silk-lined windows and
blonde people draped all over the
furniture. Someone called my
name. "Sherman," they said. It
wasn't my name, but

I'm used to that by now of
course. It was Wanda. She had
fangs and resembled
a Japanese ceremonial
teapot. "Good God Wanda what
happened to you?" I asked.

She gobbled my drink
and ate my nuts. Later

I was listening to the trains and
smoking a cigarette. This time she
was more honest. "Joe," she whispered
softly. "Oh, Joe." "You're learning," I
said and took another drag.

Where'd I put the barricades, that surrounded my heart?
They were here until I met her, I remember that part.
Scrambling now to learn the dance, let alone score.
So foreign. It's not like it's happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before


Eighty-six thousand seconds in any given day.
If I could sqeeze another million in, on my knees I'd pray.
Thanks to the lights that guided her, to my door.
That was a first. Not like it's happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before

Bridge

Walking 'round in circles. Talking all day to myself.
If she's not in my arms. So lost. Need a lotta help.
Pick the phone up darlin'. Lemme tell you what's in store.
Our love tonight is gonna be like it's never happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before
pour your fuel on this fire
you're so hot. it's hardcore.
Our love tonight is gonna be like
it's never happened before.

Down down downhill
Spinning spinning tricycle wheels
Jumping houses, jumping trees
Brakes somewhere out of reach
Carried by breeze like a free flying witch

Down down down the hill
Spinning spinning spinning wheels
That felt like it lasted forever maybe...
A miracle happened I could not foresee
My father was there to grab hold of me

Good morning Love,
Can I watch the sun rise in your eyes
Catch an early morning bike ride
with you by my side.

A tender touch, a wink
and the words
I need you so very much
to fly to places in my mind
beyond the daily rush,
....and bustle
which will soon bring my focus
to an earthy plane.

The sky so many different shades of blue
the autumn trees displaying their varied hue
could be so easily missed,
if it weren't for loving you,
...so very much

We are travlin
this road
together
and there's love here
to discover
WHO WE ARE

And together
we possess
all the knowledge
to recover,
what we were missing
when we were growing
TO WHO WE ARE

Let's go back now
to where
was
lost
that little
child
in each of
us
So we can
nurture
one another
to the greatness
OF WHO WE ARE

And we can heal those
who come
behind us
with all the love
that
we possess
cause our gentle
ness together
is teaching us.

Then some day
we'll look around us
and see the joy
that
God intended
when He placed us
on this earth

Cause that image
of Christ
within us,

IS....
WHO WE ARE

Why did you do this, I asked tonight
Why’d you give me a lonely life?
More years than not I’ve spent alone
There’s no one here to make a home.

I have thoughts I’d like to share
But when I do, there’s no one there.
My own voice I hear the most
And those closest to me are all ghosts

I know you’re God and know what’s best
But I have doubts, I must confess
As to why you say man shouldn’t be
All alone, but you make me

Don’t you get tired of hearing me
Talk to you incessantly?
I don’t mind, but it’d be nice
If you’d talk back just once or twice!

The pendulum swings.......
both ways....equally as far.

And so the heights my heart once knew,
now too,
must know it’s sorrows.

And though I hold no fault
with its ensuing arc

I wish that I could alter
the stubbornness,
of my heart.


The vastness of one’s solitude
the depth of one’s void

can only be judged....
by the comparison

that I have come
to learn.


Pain is a longing
that can never be fulfilled
torment is wanting
and knowing it never will
happen.

Lonliness,
is like a reaching
to nowhere.
Like grasping empty space..

There is nothing like the written word
To give form to feelings past unheard
'Tis as if the writer were on a mission
To release years of shyness, inhibition
To leave the buttons off is best
we can all go weak at your manly chest
Whilst naked chest is good to bare
A soul is very brave to share.

Touch this, stroke that
What a lot of old woman's hat
At 21 can you not deduce
This love stuff is just a clever ruse
To ensure that humans reproduce?

Woman make happy thanks!

happy new year my friend..

I believe you are there,
Somewhere in the endless air,
A presence felt but never seen,
A whisper in the silent dream.

You are the gentle touch of breeze,
That rustles through the autumn trees,
The warmth of sun upon my face,
A reminder of your sweet embrace.

I sense you in the morning light,
As birdsong greets the dawning bright,
And in the starry, starry night,
Where constellations gleam with light.
