The all-seeing eye makes it clear
that you are not welcome here
Why do you say that? You ought to feel lucky girl
given how much that I owe you in this world
so tell me, enlighten me why
I'm not welcome here
See I think you are the one
with that sullen glare is the one who feels shunned
Now why do you say that? You ought to feel guilty boy
given how much you stand to gain in this void
But tell me, enlighten me how
the burden of proof is not on you my dear?

Thought Universe
04:24
|
|||
Spirit alone
is one solid stone
born and torn
from the scolding fire
A thought universe
saved in reverse
freed for a while
from gross inquiry
Leaves each with one
indestructible home
she sings on
so tirelessly
man no other man shall own
who to himself belongs alone
are you catching my drift brother?
I'm catching your drift sister?
Father the sun
mother the earth
all in all the all is mind
a fine matter world
into coarse matter turns
only to respond in kind
that spirit alone
is an indissoluble stone
fallen from
the infinite sky
which we're not gonna shirk...
sing on you heartfelt choir
from which we're not gonna move...
are you catching my drift brother?
I'm catching your drift sister
sister oh won't you sing on

My Silence Is The Mirror
04:19
|
|||
My silence is the mirror
wherein your past and future coalesce
if you read well enough
stop a moment if you please
that will be forevermore the sweetest song you'll ever sing
the sweetest song you'll ever bring
the prettiest piece that you'll ever show
get out of here
get out of here you who does not know
you say get out of here
I'm out of here and yet I do not know
that you are moving on
moving on moving on
Why must such solace linger on
so long, until you are
singing songs all along
and think and eat and dream
in rhythm and blues
on and on and on it goes...
on and on it goes to show
I'm out of here
I'm out of here and yet I do not know
get out of here
get out of here you who does not know

Waltzing With The Angel
03:38
|
|||
While my brain is going through my teeth
he said
with a sudden smile
consider that broken sleep
add the one or two who might notice but soon
our son recruits forevermore a loon
to his tribe
with great abundance he abides and he
concludes that the
living metaphor is a game oh so sweet
who the hell am I to be
thinking about stuff no one can treat
in my own time
He'd be typing a book of mysteries
one which I'm in
and things that I gleaned
among the many yet to complete
as I wondered which side I liked best in thee
being friendly or the you who would plainly disagree
that only two or three will ever notice the moon
and that the son recruits evermore a loon
to our tribe
while that angel is going through my sheets
I sit with a broken thigh
consider that wrestling feat
and my brethrens deed
when the waking life is more akin to a dream
so what else should I bequeath
to this child?

You and I are alike, except you're boring
you're on the side of the angels don't you see,
they'd weep for you but not for me
they heed to truth so out of glee I'm snoring
it's so boring
It's raining, it's pouring/The rain keeps on pouring
Sherlock is boring
I'm laughing I'm crying/Everyone's crying
Sherlock is dying
The angels are weeping
worry not it's just like sleeping
you and I are just the same
except you're lame
you tell me
danger's part of your trade
well don't you think it's dangerous
to keep a loaded firearm
in the pocket of one's gown
my god I frown
You're so boring
I'm snoring
and the rain keeps on pouring
Sherlock is boring
I'm laughing I'm crying
Sherlock is dying
The pain you always feel it
But you don't have to fear it

Puck's Epilogue
03:00
|
|||
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearnèd luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

Auguries Of Experience

some are born to sweet delight
some are born to endless night

Put On A Happy Face
05:00
|
|||
Haha...
Put on a happy face
Put on a...
slow ballet
when your mind will sway
you say goodbye, good day
I say good night
sleep tight
Here I just might
dancing on my own
with me, myself and a happy face
take it down a notch
because no one will behold such grace
I don't stand a chance
I crashed into an ambulance
and I don't stand a chance to stand
nor to take a stance
because the people that just got on
might start talking
well people do little else
As I'm about to burst out laughing
I'm even thinking of a joke as well
Do tell why laughter is the best
medicine accessible around us all the while
smile never fade unless I'm buried
in my work place
I don't stand a chance
I crashed into an ambulance
but my smile lines will never fade
until I'm buried in my grave
I don't stand a chance to wail
nor to make this place a peaceful world
You're going out of your mind but then
you wouldn't be the first
nor would you be the last
I'm about to erupt in laughter
I'm even thinking of a joke as well
do tell why slaughter is the worst...
Haha...

The Lesser Of Fools
04:01
|
|||
Of all the fools in this world
you are one of them
Of all those boots that you tear so well
I can wear none of them
So brush that dust
right of your shoes
and save yourself the trouble when
the present's offering you a clue saying
I would never I would never
No I would never mistreat my own
dignity or solar plexus
nor neglect whatever that perplexes
the solitary wanderer
the vagabond existing on the borders
of nowhere
How the city sit solitary
that was full of people
how is she become as a widow?
I do not know
I do not know...
Know I would never mistreat her no
you say that now for all you know
the greatest tool for fools affirms that
I would never I would never
Would you ever let yourself
be filled and drunk on all the bitterness
that consumes of all
the wormwood and the gall
remember Ieremia's affliction and misery
be filled with all the tenderness
the signs of kind affection
and the innocence of the small
How the city sit solitary
that was full of people
How is she become as a widow
I do not know

I'll build a stairway to paradise
with a new step every day
and I'm gonna get there at any price
stand aside I'm on my way
I've got the blues
and up above it's so fair
shoes go on and carry me there
I'll build a stairway to paradise
with a new step every day
- Gershwin Brothers, Ira and George

I've got some mail that you probably
will tell me to return
but I'm gonna hand it to you anyway
I'm not the garbage man you know
you've got no choice
your name is printed right there
spoils your preconceptions
right but listen here
I've got some mail that for all I care
you could throw away or burn
I've got some mail that you probably
would jokingly prefer
that I should keep or throw away
I'm in a hurry don't disturb
you've got no choice
I'm gonna shove it in there
voice concerns to "mottagarservice"
I've got some bills that for all I care
you could throw away or burn

Bonny At Morn
03:01
|
|||
The sheep's in the meadow,
The kye's in the corn,
Thou's ower lang in thy bed,
Bonny at morn,
The bird's in the nest and
The trout's in the burn;
Thou hinderest thy mother
In many a turn.
Canny at night,
Bonny at morn,
Thou's ower lang in thy bed,
Bonny at morn.
We're all laid idle
Wi' keeping the bairn,
The lass wi' net learn,
The lad wi' net work
Canny at night,
Bonny at morn,
Thou's ower lang in thy bed,
Bonny at morn.

Shamanic Journey (Poem)
02:35
|
|||
I met upon a child of god
who spoke unto me
when I was old I'd use this shard
to capture all my dreams
Hearken unto this drum
to my solemn beat
Dim your eyes before the sun
undertake this journey
Now take this oar and travel
far and past the sea
Aboard this gull unravel,
will your destiny
And greet will those who came before
such as you and me
and they shall grant what is in store
indeed what's in your tongue and cheek
They fill your palm with shells
They bring you to the obsidian stone
you hunger for their love and tell
yourself I am is gone
then as you descend
they throw kisses and
a riot of perfumes
rushes right through
the you that's subsumed
I wonder then
does it keep thy heart
with all diligence
for out of it are the
issues of life
and from that are we
such tools for strife
out of which it seems
that in the rhyming mind
there towering a gleam
midst looming signs
Take this oar that I brought
off my humbled heart
I abandoned wars and overwrought
I plunged into a mess
Echoes of those forebearers
pang throughout my chest
I was a skeleton now I wear
new sets of flesh
In that heavenly garden
where they dwell
mothers fathers sing to them
I wonder well
Do the angels sing for you too
Did you keep thy heart
with all diligence?
