Are invisible
So does a thought
Ultimate strength is
To stay invisible
Be anonymous
Are invisible

Ultimate strength is
To stay invisible
Be anonymous

Zydeco Girl
Zydeco Girl
She is the best dish at the restaurant
Whose smile is a rare spice
Found only where cannabis is legal
Her eyelashes bat like a Mamou Two-Step
While my gaze follows her lead
The Zydeco of her baby-Blues
Turns me into her Clifton Chenier
Ready for her Cajun waltz
When gumbo is the appetizer
On the Oyster bar of love
She is the best dish at the restaurant
Whose smile is a rare spice
Found only where cannabis is legal
Her eyelashes bat like a Mamou Two-Step
While my gaze follows her lead
The Zydeco of her baby-Blues
Turns me into her Clifton Chenier
Ready for her Cajun waltz
When gumbo is the appetizer
On the Oyster bar of love

Xylanthia
Xylanthia, both far and near
with Nommoland, the place that we're
leaving for from Earth and Sun
by moving faster 'til we come
to Sirius...A, B and C
eight light years so speedily
with lightbeams left so far behind
that years will pass before they find
the skies. where no night exists
Xylanthia's in midst of this
in whose sky there's always one
sun that's shining as we come
to Nommoland, whose oceans warm
lap the seashores that have formed
the inter-tidal species who
created all on Earth we do
...

Empathy: I should know better by now.
As an empath,
I am often responding to you
with my words and ideas
but
YOUR
emotion.
I can superconsciously
see it in your posture
hear it in you voice
smell it in your pheromones
taste it in your blood
sense it on your mind
and feel it in my heart.

FLAMES
The Flames
Two bodies, 0ne soul
Very much the same
L0v3 has its own kind of fame
Its not about a face or a name
Lave behind all judgement and pain
TWO FEEL S0 DEEPLY THE SAME
Doubt and whispers of fear no longer live here
Time to end the game
To reunite is why we came
Distance causing resistance is to blame
Its time to shine, its time to reign
With a clean slate everyone gains!

The Great Migration
It’s finally spring – time to sing;
As we prepare for a daring flight.
With only the stars to guide our way,
We fly at dusk tonight.
A perilous path lies just ahead,
O’er many miles of open sea;
With no place to land to rest our heads,
There’s no turning back, you see?
It’s a 3-day flight across the ocean,
With a thousand miles left to go!
And we must stay in constant motion,
Or it’s… well, I think you know.
Some of us are bound to die,
Only the strongest will survive.
Through violent winds...
As we prepare for a daring flight.
With only the stars to guide our way,
We fly at dusk tonight.
A perilous path lies just ahead,
O’er many miles of open sea;
With no place to land to rest our heads,
There’s no turning back, you see?
It’s a 3-day flight across the ocean,
With a thousand miles left to go!
And we must stay in constant motion,
Or it’s… well, I think you know.
Some of us are bound to die,
Only the strongest will survive.
Through violent winds...

Ink
ink
i’m dripping in it
black on white
day and night
i can’t work with colour
i'm colour blind
it’s like eating ice cream
and not tasting the flavour
like sex without love
a fuck you can’t savour
it's just ink
and i'm dripping in it

If love could be heard in colour
If love could be heard in colour
I would sing your name in gold
whisper sweet nothings of rose
cry for you in deepest blue
and call for you
in shades of longing
I would moan
in blushes of red
from where I lay tangled
in white cotton sheets
wishing upon a yellow moon
for love to return to me true
but at night when all is dark
black tar spreads over my heart
your betrayal reeks of a different shade
as her purple lipstick
reluctantly fades
the orange sun of morning
brings you home to...

Banner of the Sun
there will be days that never seem to end
as we sit in gloom, they always do
one way the other we make it through
when the strain gets to great
your shoulders seem to not be able to bear the weight
condition yourself for future endeavors
because life has not yet dealt all it has to offer
fear not for the life we lead is only governed by the attitude we display
be grateful with what you have
straighten up your back to push through the day
the current times seem strenuous, tedious
with nothing to do but be governed by fear
remember...
