Blue

One day soon

I’ll count the layers

in an onion.

Won’t you stay with me?

If you know what I mean

avocado green

We’ll watch the bees

alfalfa yellow

Sometimes you’ve seen

that sometimes

you need to be

blue, haven’t you?

Talk

Talk
why won`t you talk to me
Speak what`s on your mind
I don't care what it is
whatever you may find
I just need to hear you
Talk
why won`t you talk to me
Speak what`s on your mind
be it clever or unkind
Either one suits me fine
Talk
why won`t you talk to me
I just wish you would unwind
Come down off of that cloud
Down here to cloud nine
Here everything is fine
If you want it to be
Talk
why won`t you talk to me
I have the time
So tell me
what`s on your mind
It doesn`t matter
Nothing`s too much
no hill
too big to climb
Talk
why won`t you talk to me



Slow down
take the time
speak your mind
and release your heart
I will make the time
to feel your love
and make you mine
Talk
why won`t you talk to me

last kiss

Here I am today
I came here to say
today
to you
Please accept this one last gift from me
This may be your last kiss
We'll see
You know how it is
It's why you're here
But I never promised you
anything dear
So here
Here I am today
Here and I've come to say
today
to you
I never thought it would come to this
And now they say they want you too
They fucked with me
But they won't fuck with you
No matter what it takes
Or what I have to do
This may be your last kiss
We'll see
One things for certain
This is not the end
It's only the beginning
for me
You'll see.

This place

I got this feeling
deep inside my brain
I got this feeling
telling me again
I got to get out of this place
or change what`s happening here
there`s too much shit
happening here
I got to find a place
Where the people aren`t so queer
or rearrange this place
And change or rearrange this place
and all the shit that`s happening here
It`s a shame, it`s a disgrace
There has to be a better place
I am going to try to find another place
Or rearrange this place into another place
another place to stay with a lot of sunshine
every day
a place where I can relax my mind
and get away
from all the confusion
every day
I got to get to that place
there`s way too much shit happening here

I got to find a place
I got to make this place
a better place
it`s way too crazy here
So put your hand in mine
we can work together
everything will be fine

Did you hear me
I`ll say it again
I got this feeling
deep inside my brain
it keeps telling me
to get out of this place
or change what`s happening here
there`s so many people
playing way too games
got to save my own face
got to save my own name
can`t even walk the street
without being scared off your feet
people owning the streets
the neighbourhood
too many people
doing too little good
look at all of them
with all their different faces
I`ve seen them all before but
in other places

So reach out, get up
put your hand in mine
if we get together
it will work out fine
we got to put the bad people down
someone has to
put the bad people down

Perhaps someday
they too will realize
in the end we all will die
and when looking death in the eye
the strong become weak
and the strongest begin to cry
and in the end we all will die
we all will die

Heaven

Let there be light, there was
let it grow dark and it did
let there be life, there was
let it grow old and it did
You ordered all things within your heart.
All things were created through your Word,
Just as you wished.
Now
make life alive
move all things
be above all living things
and you are
try as we might
to escape heaven
be it above or below
fleeing, no matter where we go
heaven supercedes all
encompassing and guiding all
heaven energizes every sacred life
and the entire wheel of the cosmos
is centered around your word
The Word of God
The Word is living,
giving, spirit and soul,
all things living and green,
all of your creativity
All creation is awakened by you,
called upon by you,
with resounding melody,
God's invocation of the Word.
Never do I want to hear
The Angels singing to the world
of warning, singing out your scorning
we listen, I listen and obey
I am only one though
please don't turn me away
you know what I think, do and say
God of gods, creator of all.
If this were truly heaven
why are so many seeking refuge
is heaven not more beautiful
more enticing than the rest
if not then make it so
we listen, I listen and obey
it's just something I suggest
please don't turn away
a different opinion or another way
there's more than one solution
you let me think and I think this way
slow the world down, slow down time
if I could see heaven a bit longer
if heaven could be seen by everyone
on everyday
then heaven could be heaven
in every way
take away the pain and salvation
replaced with love and understanding
take away the pain and broken hearts
replace them with friends and brand new starts
peace, love and understanding
until everyone cares

The turn around

Oh hey it came to me today
For lately I've thinking
It seems to me that I'm dying
And it's been happening for some time
Now, I know that time is flying
Fleeting past us despite all of our trying
We can't slow it down or make it stop
We can't do it for love
We can't do it the name of God
But, oh hey it came to me today
Because lately I've been thinking
It seems obvious I am dying
And it's been happening for some time
And it's happening today
Slowly death creeps
Like acid it seeps
Everything it takes it keeps
It weakens my in the knees
It strengthens with all of my pleas
There's no more innocence
I've done and said it
Dear God
It came to me today
But I've been thinking all along
That I am dying
I have said and done things
I have taken you in vain
I have forgotten my faith
In my own words
I should be forgiving
even in pain
But I felt alone and forsaken
My mind and body were swallowed and taken
By the anger and fear
Of the uncertainty of here
When it came to me today
That I may be dying
But I'm still here
I may have pain
and my finger on the trigger
but the love I feel is bigger
I feel so alone
but I can still smile
even through all of the pain
I'm not alone it seems
None of us will ever be the same
We all grow old and have pain
But when it yours it means more
It hurts much more
Then you can explain
It pains you more
than a neighbour next door
Compassion and sympathy
don't make it go away
they don't really mean a thing
until you can say you've been there
and felt things the same way
And it makes you say
Hey, I was thinking
And it came to me today
It feels so good to be alive
Let's celebrate another good day
We can go out for a walk
Or grab a coffee
Still it's a good day
No matter what way
As long as we're alive and well
until you can say you've been there
and felt things the same way
And it makes you say
Hey, I was thinking

Thin

I used to be thin
Thin skinned
Thin stature
Shallow minded
Quick to lash out
Quicker to blame
It was easy to be unkind
To be in control
At least that’s what I thought
Yet eaten by guilt
Lost and distraught
Varsol to paint
Tears to love
Alienation
Subjectiveness
Persecution
Demanding and
Notwithstanding
The control
I thought I had
Time connects
Wounds
As it slowly passes
Soon numbness
Followed by dumbness
Becomes me
And then you
Somehow I feel
Quiet now
I feel like glue
Thick and slow
Bonding to you
The feeling I hope
Has transcended
The thin within me
Is now thick because of you
To live a day without you
Is something I have yet to do
And until that day arrives
Let this glueleg
Stay and stick in love with you
Somehow you have managed
To change me
My heart and my soul
Your presence it calms me
When I need it most
A million dollar prize
The finest slice
A million miles walked
A language outspoken
And so much more
The rubber is connecting
Its tight band retracts
It draws near to me
A twinkle; a spark
My fluttering heart
Pounds deep inside me
It rumbles
It rolls and
It rubs me the right way
I am complete
Yet empty
Completely empty
I suppose.

Reality trap

The fast and energetic mind and heart
Of the Hare
Working overtime to try and keep up
Inside the battered and worn out shell
Of the Tortoise
That's how I feel
The pain outside
Keeps the inside real

Cheer my soul

Oh how you cheer my soul
Demonstrating your magic
In this world full of profit
And all the greed
Between the north and south pole
There are kings and queens vying for power and control
Though obeyed in the land they rule
They do not raise the wind nor move the clouds
Stretching their power by flexing their armies
They are feared in the minds of most
Till the roar of your thunderous magic rolls across the land
A sound that rumbles and shakes the very foundation
With a magic that can make or break any nation
Such astounding magic can only be attributed to you
Our Mighty God
Only to you
In all my labours, in everything I do
I embrace all of nature’s treasures given us by you
Filled like a glutton, filled full with deceit
The mutates
And with each day that passes by
You vision remains incomplete
Your wish is my command
But alas my dear Lord
I am but one man
Fear not though, nor doubt my resolution
But resolve me of all ambiguities
So that when I walk through the valley
In the shadow of death
I walk with the armour of your commandments and the helmet
of your wrath upon my head
for dear Lord, dear Lord above
oh how you cheer my soul
and fill me with love.

Ownership

Sometimes I find it hard to breathe
I get scared and the world closes in
The room is too small,
there's not enough air
I panic and try hard to maintain focus
To maintain control
But my mind wanders as I cross examine myself
First my ankles
Then my knees
Hips, arms, wrists and shoulders
Neck and back
Then each muscle, joint and tendon
And when I'm all done
There's the inside of me
The insides of a baby
So I've been told
Then how come the rest of me feels
so damn old
So let's travel further inside
To where our secrets reside
Inside our mind, inside our brain
We come face to face
with our fears, troubles and pain
For me it's the night time
Or when I'm alone
We all need a break or time to relax
No down time, no pleasure and no fun for me
When it hurts to lie down,
every joint cracks as you move
It hurts me to pee
But arthritis has befriended me
Of that I am certain
And brought along a friend for me
The last thing I needed
After hepC
Let me introduce to you
the one and only
High anxiety
Oh what would my life be
without high anxiety
Sometimes I find it hard to breathe
I get scared and the world closes in on me
Caught in a web of fear
The more I struggle
The less chance of breaking free
The more I think
The later it gets
It gets too late
I begin to hyperventilate
I cough to clear my throat
To catch my breath
But that cough leads to another
Gagging, coughing, gagging, retching
and puking is next
I no longer have control
My ribs, my back
My head and stomach pay the toll
Twelve hours in the shower
Gravol every hour
Not sure what else to do
As I beg for relief from God
and you

Those days these days

Don't know why I stay here
Don't know why I care
The things I used to feel from you
These days I hardly feel from you
I get the feeling that you love me
But then you seem to not really care
The way that you used to, about me
Those days these days are rare
Know that I have hurt you
With things I've said and done
But I'm as hurt by this as you
To see what we've become
I wish I knew the answer
Or better still the way
To make you see past all of this
To make it through today
Please don't let me leave
Don't let me fall apart
I wish that I could be as strong
As my love for you is in my heart
Don't know why I stay here
Don't know why I care
The things I used to feel from you
These days I hardly feel from you
I get the feeling that you love me
But then you seem to not really care
The way that you used to, for me
Those days these days are rare
I once had a notion about you and I
We once had a dream together
And I won't let it die
So reach out trust me, please take my hand
Let's fly off together
Far from here
To our dream land
Our worries like the sunset they'll fade away
All through the night our love takes us
Into the light of a bright brand new day
Don't know why I stay here
But I'm starting to see
That leaving here and leaving you
Isn't what I want for me
All those days full of doubting
Anger and fear
Put them behind us let's start from here
Let's make those days, not these days, disappear.

Give a little love

Watching the tube
I see too many guns
Too much hate
Too many guns
Not enough love
Where did the love go
Surfing the web
I see too many crimes
Too many crimes and criminals
Everywhere you look
They're there
They're in your face
They're everywhere
So just keep doing what you're doing
Keep on doing right
You must be right
Because there's a gap between
What you do and see
It's up to you
And it's up to me
To pave the way
To take the lead
To be the first
To love
There's too much hate
But it's not too late
Take a little love
Watch that love grow
Shake somebody's hand
Let your fear go
Help someone who's troubled
Go the extra mile
Give a little love
Watch it grow a smile
There's too much hate
But it's not too late
Take a little love
Watch that love grow
Shake somebody's hand
Let your fear go
Help someone who's troubled
Go the extra mile
Give a little love
Watch it grow a smile
Give a little love
yeah
Give a little love now
Give a little love
All it takes is a little love
So give a little love now
Give a little love
Give a little love now
Give a little love

Simplicity

Simple as a pimple on a dogs cock
You can tell a dog-fucker by the way that he walk
Jump in line
Everything’s fine
It’s all good
Except we’re all out of time
Hickory dickory dock
With every tick of the clock
Times keeps slipping, slipping, slipping away
Until there’s none left
Until tomorrow’s today
Rhyme without reason
Fishing out season
Ever wonder why
Things take so much longer when you watch them
Water to boiling
Paint to dry
Down by the lake
On the lakeshore
She sells cockle shells
And so much more
Down by the lake
On the lakeshore
She sells cockles shells



And much, much more
Of that you can be sure
Walk like a blind man
Talk you deaf mute
Ever wonder how others see you
Do they see what you do when you see you
Or do they see what they want when they see you
And look right through you
Locked inside the garden gate
There is no reason for the gate
Locked inside the garden gate
What’s the reason for the gate
First I saw a mountain
That’s what I saw
That’s what I saw
Then it was a molehill
That was all
That was all
Locked inside the garden gate
Locked inside the garden gate
Far too long
Far too long
Seeing things differently
From here I see
From here I see
This how the world is to me
How it appears to me
From the inside looking out
Everything is greener
Everything I see
Everything’s much greener
That I can see
From where I stand
I see the world differently
From where I stand
Seeing things differently
Is the only way to see
For me
It’s all I know
It’s all I have
And that’s how the world appears to me
To be
Spend a day in my shoes
Help me wear them in


Then fill it to the brim Jim
Gimme some more
No shirt, no shoes, no service
Toss em out the door
Locked inside my room
Locked inside my room
What’s the reason for the door
What’s the reason I am here
Were I not
Where would I be
I would not be
Locked inside my room
Inside my room
What a mess
Sitting locked with a mess
Inside my room
Inside my room
But worst of all
I can’t find a broom
A good sweep is all
That I need
Inside my room
Inside my room
Layer upon layer
Emotional dust piled high
Caked on
Baked on
After years of tears
Free to leave whenever
I want
Whenever I find the door
Inside my room
Or is it the garden gate
The hedges have grown so tall
I can’t see the garden or the gate
I can’t much
But I’m still seeing things differently
Just like before
Sure the grass might be greener now
I still can’t find the gate or the door.

A letter to me

Wrote myself a letter today
Hope I get it soon
Told myself all about you
The things you say
And the things you do
Sure hope the postage is right
I don’t send many letters you see
But the return address is my own
So it’ll come right back to me
I told myself how lucky I am
To have met a woman like you
It really doesn’t matter where we are
Or the things we do
I’ll take what I can get
It all feels right with you
I wrote myself a letter today
I wonder when I’ll get it
I’ll have to wait and see
I don’t get many letters you see
And I’ve never gotten one from me
I wrote with words of wisdom
And words that are kind
I hope that when I open it
Those are the words I will find
The letter that was written
The letter that was sent
The letter full of words and thoughts
All of which I meant
Today I wrote a letter
And sent it off to me
I wonder when I get it
What reaction I’ll get from me
When I read the words I wrote
In the letter I wrote to me

Makes

Air makes air
Good makes good
Tree makes tree…
And wood
Water makes water
Makes metal rust
Doubting makes doubting
Trust makes trust.
