Your laughter glitters like a thousand jewels
Your eyes sparkle like the stars
Your voice is like soothing music
more beautiful than the heart can express
Yet that soothing pierces my heart
pierces to the core
for it is not followed by
is not born of
love
Your hair
red
Flaming Red
like the fire of my love
Yet my fire
my desire
my passion
smoulders deep within
smothered by sincere
thoughtful
reluctance...
Questioning
a trial where the defendant is guilty until proven innocent
But what am I guilty of?
I love you!
and that makes you suspicious
Is it so hard to tru
I can walk and I can sing, but I cannot feel the sharp bee-sting.
My love on its haunches, crouching to kill
Is all but sobbing, weak and still
How can it be that my love is lost?
How can it be that my all is tossed,
torn, beaten and bruised
with nothing left to loose?
I have not walked that mile.
I have not felt awhile.
Empty is the ocean that filled me with passion
Empty, the ocean I filled in some fashion
How can I turn with my face to the gale
when I can't even walk, straight-faced and pale?
A frozen numbness seethes in my soul
As I scramble to play my role.
The depth of the ocean of love I had full
Is the depth of my bein
What is America that it should hope?
There is no assurance of a bright tomorrow.
Who are we that we dream?
We are not tall enough to reach those clouds.
Are we really silly enough to follow the rainbow?
There's no gold at the end to satisfy our cravings.
Are you really going to follow that yellow brick road?
This wizard is grand but clicking your heels won't get you home.
Yes, we see the beauty of the New World,
But do we consider the present inhabitants?
Yes, we hear the shots,
But do we ever wake up to the holocaust?
Dough, the stuff you use in bread
Ray, a special type of gun
Me, the one I like to be
Far, the distance to the sun
Sole, the bottom of my shoe
Law, the thing which people dread
Tee, just hope your swing is true
Which brings us back to dough (Doh! Doh! Doh!)
The truth is inside yourself,
But it's neither the easiest road to follow,
Nor the hardest to make yourself lead.
The truth is inside yourself
Covered by the fears you know you must swallow.
God put it there to be your own seed.
In this dark night
I watch the fairies dance
to music I do not hear
in light I cannot see
And I think of the light
I long for the dancing
and the basking...
the fairies
Oh! that I could move
that I could scream!
Oh, that life
would, could return to this
lifeless darkness!
And in this dark night
all my senses leave me
all my passions forsake me
and I,
I am left to convulse
for naught
White and soft
with rose all around
A warm glow
eminates deep down
A green glow,
the growth of my heart
Leafing out
To reach for your heart
Fire springs forth
The warmth on my part
I dreamt I had a heart
and that it broke.
I dreamt I had a life
and that I wrote.
I dreamt I had a love
and it was true.
I dreamt my love was true
and she was you.
I was so sunny
I didn't think I'd get burned
It was so sunny,
It's almost like the steam came from my eyes
It was too late
When I started to feel the burn
I was melting in the sun
Now I'm raining in the sun
I dreamt I had a heart
and that it broke.
I dreamt I had a life
and that I wrote.
I dreamt I had a love
and it was true.
I dreamt my love was true
and she was you.
White and soft
with rose all around
A warm glow
eminates deep down
A green glow,
the growth of my heart
Leafing out
To reach for your heart
Fire springs forth
The warmth on my part
In this dark night
I watch the fairies dance
to music I do not hear
in light I cannot see
And I think of the light
I long for the dancing
and the basking...

Oh! that I could move

Oh, that life
would, could return to this

And in this dark night

I found an old map of my life in the closet today,
worn almost to the point of tearing.
It was burnt at one end, my birth I suppose.
Pieces of it still crumble when I'm not careful.
The first roads are drawn in crayon and lead only in circles.
There is a picture of a man sitting at a table shaped like the moon
somewhere around my sixth birthday.
My father perhaps. I don't remember.
By the age of eleven the first small houses appear,
my friend Tommy with his German Shepard shooting cap guns,
further down, real guns, another hole. Of course
none of this is to scale. The first graves appears at age
twelve, my grandmother is dr
I rest back,
steady on my haunches,
and watch the world go by...
So many colours,
all going to waste
on eyes that'll never see
So much music,
all going to waste
on ears that'll never hear
So open their eyes!!
if you want them to see,
but i cant guarantee,
they'll see the blood underneath
So open their ears!!
if you want them to hear,
but i cant guarantee,
they'll hear the sobs underneath
So paint a picture,
or write a song,
do it just for me.
and i'll hold your hand,
as we pity those,
who'll never feel this pain
