ManicCC Poetry (71)

Wanna put my arms around you
Gathering you in
Till I can feel your heartbeat
Pressed against my skin

I will draw you even closer
Never letting go,
So forever feel me holding
My arms around your soul.

(Chorus)
I can hear you now
I can see you smile (Lighting up the darkness)
I can feel you oh so close to me (so close, oh so close yeah)
I am caught now
(Never let me go)
my hearts your prisoner
Never wana be (ee ee ee)
Ever set free.

Tell you that I need you
Tell me you want me to
An eternity together
Where all love’s dreams can come true

(Chorus)
I still hear your voice
I still see your smile (Shinning full of love-light)
I still feel you holding on to me (hold me, Hold tight darling)
I am caught now
(I would never let you go)
My hearts your prisoner
Don't ever wana be (ee ee ee)
(Never ever)
Never wana be (ee ee ee)
(your's forever)
An I never wana be (Oh oh yeah eh )
Never ever set me free

(Chorus (repeat to fade out))
II still hear your voice
I still see your smile (Shinning full of love-light)
I still feel you holding on to me (hold me, Hold tight darling)
I am caught now
(I would never let you go)
My hearts your prisoner
Don't ever wana be (ee ee ee)
(Never ever)
Never wana be (ee ee ee)
(your's forever)
An I never wana be (Oh oh yeah eh )
Never ever set me free

You can’t do that!
Gets lectured on self worth
by Confidence and Self-respect
Uncertainty is glumly undecided
and Fear isn’t helping one bit,
Dreamer is dreamily dreaming
future-fairytale maybe dreams,
Caution is cautiously warning
It may not be what it seems to seem

Whack go Self control, and Morals
Hitting Libido for something he said
Libido’s been whispering his own dreams
Inside the dreamer’s head
Happiness is s contently smiling.
He likes to contentedly smile
Take chances to win.
Thinks the gambler
Watching fate set the game for a while

Stakes are high on the gamblers table
Fate picks up his dice
He rolls them where only he can see them
Using rules that only fate really likes
Love and Longing,
Look on from the side lines
Each trying to work out the odds
The risks they must face in being part of the play
They must win or be forever lost.

Creativity intensively studies
Making notes on everything around
Then with the help of his friend Emotions
He carefully writes everything down.

Muslims, Christians and even Jews
you know your holy books aren't true,
There is no god of Abraham,
Man made god not god made man
No taking snake, no Adam no Eve
All those stories are make believe
No fall from grace no Cain no Able,
It is all just another fable
Just look at the story of Noah's ark
a six hundred year old man , it makes me laugh,
and as for two of every animal on his boat,
It wouldn't be big enough and it wouldn't float
And in geology not a trace can be found
Of a world wide flood that drowned all land
The one thing all your religions lack
is any support from any know facts

I've seen the fire, that you think that you should hide.
try not to show it, bury it down deep inside.
though you don't know it I've seen the flames there in your eyes
I know you don't think it's true,
but I see more light in you than you do.

I know the darkness and the deamons that you fight.
the daily struggle just keep your soul alive
I know your stronger, and will do more than just survive
I know you cant believe it's true,
but I see more strength in you, than you do.

I want to see your shining fire,
lighting up the world
I can catch only glimpses in your eyes.
I'd like to be
one to set it free
to help you keep trying,
to set you spirit flying
so you can see in you, what I can see.

Show me your fire, don't keep it locked inside.
let me be that someone from whom you've no need to hide,
though you're not sure yet, just you look into my eyes
Then at last you'll know It's true,
I want to see and know the whole of you.

There may come a time
When memory of places that we used to be
Fade away and die
like last years autumn leaves
I will close my Eyes
I still see your shinning smile
and in my heart
I will be with you once more

Your actions speak louder than my words can
you disagree so I must be silenced
I tell you that I see no great divine plan
Same old calls for hatred and Violence
to keep safe your comfortable lie
Faith requires a closed mind
The same old insults and misrepresentations
The unbeliever must die
It says in this book it’s all true
I hear pour forth from religious lips
you may believe your holy words infallible
But historical fact disproves it

Look again ,at that pale blue dot.
That's here. that's home.
That’s the whole wide world.
That’s you
That’s me.
That's us..

On it lives everybody.
Every human who ever was.
Everyone you know, or ever heard of.
Everyone you have or will ever love

All joy and suffering,
All the big small ideas
All religions, ideologies,
Economic doctrines,
You will only ever find them right here.

Every hunter, forager,
hero or coward,
Every loser,
Every winner
Every honest or corrupt politician
Every saint,
every sinner
Every king, peasant,
Teacher of morals,
Creator or destroyer.
Every mother, father, or hope filled child,
Every Inventor
Every explorer,
Every superstar, supreme leader,
Every hope,
Every dream
Happened here. On a mote of dust,
Suspended in a sunbeam

In this vast cosmic arena
Think of the wars that we wage
No matter how important we think them
Our dot is a very small stage
Think of all generals and emperors
the rivers of blood they spilled
So that in glory and their triumph,
They could extend their will
Once their battles were over
look at what they had got
They’d became the momentary masters
of a fraction of a dot
Think of the endless cruelties
we visit on each other
how fervent our hatreds, how eagerly we kill
our sisters and our brothers
inhabitants of one corner of this pale blue dot
scarcely distinguishable from inhabitants on another
how frequent our misunderstandings are,
So we make war on one another

The thoughts of universal privileged position .
the delusion that only we are right
all our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
are challenged by this pale point of blue light.


This Dot is the only world we know of .
There is no, where else,
That anywhere in the near future,
to which we all could migrate.
There are other Dots we can Visit
Travellers with us in space
Visit, yes. But not Settle,
So for now this dot is our place.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling
And the truth of this has been unfurled
There no better demonstration of human conceits
than this distant image of our tiny blue world.

Four seasons in one day,
a song no longer, but a prediction
Four seasons in one day,
will because of our hydro-carbon addiction.

Each step that both you have taken,
have you now upon this journey set
There are things behind that you may have broken,
but you should now forget about any regret
What if's from your history you must sever
don't let dead maybes prey upon your mind
The roads traveled have now brought you both together
Ahead of your future you will find
All past moments that have given you such sorrow
far behind you, all of them will now lie
Heads held high Stride into your tomorrow
with your true love walking by your side

you're a bastard bastard, bastard bastard
bastard with a sting
A total bastard, bastard bastard, bastard bastard
bastard with a sting
Oh you bastard bastard, bastard bastard
bastard with a sting
Malicious bastard, bastard bastard, bastard bastard, bastard
bastard with a sting

I take an idea
Elusive thoughts, That I am thinking
Try to nail them to the page
Tear the sentences asunder
Write them down,
look and wonder
At the emotion
That they convey
Is that the feeling
Are all the words, revealing
Just what I had to say
Make it longer,
Make it shorter
Check all the lines are in right order
Then post it
On a poetry page

All the Internet equations,
clever matching algorithms,
and the computer Cupid all agree.
After sifting through the data,
with digital precision,
think that she will be a good match for me
Binary blind dating
Technology’s temptations
Her photo on my screen smiles at me
But do I want to date her
That’s the tough decision
Based only on what she wants the world to see
