Friends and lovers

Friends and lovers we all are
on life's highway
wishing on a star
Friends and lovers we all know
crossing all boundaries
letting love grow
Friends and lovers from the past
strength and experience
help to make love last
Friends and lovers yet to come
looking for a friend
waiting for the sun

though if the sun don`t come
I hope my friend will come
he usually comes
even if the sun don`t come
I say to everyone
It seems
to me
that our time has finally come
and now
after all
after all has been said and done
It appears
to me that

Friends and lovers we all are
on life's highway
wishing on a star
Friends and lovers we all know
crossing all boundaries
letting love grow
Friends and lovers from the past
strength and experience
help to make love last
Friends and lovers yet to come
looking for a friend
waiting for the sun

The Great Explorers

Columbus sailed over the ocean blue
And like a snail I shall trail over you
In search of spices and gold Vasco da Gamma
sailed around the Cape of Good Hope
Exploring, I venture to all your hidden treasures
You may feel out of control and unable to cope
Juan Ponce de Leon travelled far and wide
discovering Florida in search of The Fountain of Youth
From tip to toe, pit to pit, fingers, toes and tits
I've yet be steered wrong; seen and felt
nothing but your truth
Discovering Timbuktu and the heart of Africa
Was quite a feat for Mungo Park
but the locals didn't like him
ambushed and speared he died on the Niger
Your peaks and valleys, your bends and curves
You have me exploring fearlessly
Seems there's always something new
James Cook wow now there was a man
New Zealand and Australia and Hawaii too
The entire Pacific Ocean, not to mention
Speaking of Cook-ing as in Hot, as in you
From the way that you look and smell
To the way that you walk and talk too
I'll be your Dingo if you'll be my Cockatoo
A Missionary with a true mission of freedom
Rewarded with a true vision; Victoria Falls
and dysentery; Dr. Livingstone I presume
I have all the earthly treasures in you
And you are my stars, sun and moon
John Cabot and Jacques Cartier
we owe you so much for giving us
Newfoundland and Canada eh
I feel for all the aforementioned
They were brave all, each and everyone
All their struggles, trials and tribulations
Without these guys who knows where we'd all be
So thank you gentlemen one and all
But sometimes the biggest adventure
The greatest treasure of all
Is usually right in front of us
I know because I have you

From the Inside

I wish that you could tell what I am wishing;
That you could read my mind
You'd be surprised I think
You'd realize that I'm
Not the person who you thought
On any given day
In fact I bet you wouldn't even come close
And if you could read my mind
You'd be impressed at what you might find
I'm not complicated in too many ways
We all have our quirks and individual displays
But the fact and point of this is
That I am me and you are you
Bound together, tethered willingly
by wedlock; we two
For better or worse
In sickness and health
Till death do us part
Change me if you will
But not conventionally please
Do it from the inside
Step inside my shoes and mind
Stay as long as you please
But be forewarned
That there's a surprise in store for you
Don't be too hasty to try and make me change
Or rearrange me
For remember that by changing me
You also change you
For every action a reaction
One turn deserves another
But what gives you the most satisfaction
Be true to yourself
And without distraction
Close your eyes, let your mind go
Think about nothing until I come to mind
I wish that you could tell what I am wishing;
That you could read my mind
