LYRIC POETRY

escape from the planet of the apes


i'm gonna turn it all around  
it will  be so different this time  
prickly goo mothafucka!  
kick karma square in the cocksucker.... whoop!  
i'd like to hear a few less kum ba yas' with N bombs  
somebody give god back the megaphone  
you need to sleep more and dream less there switch blade  
no more epitaphs about wasting time  
i'm up off the couch and mingling  
hey ! how ya doin?  
i'm an anarchist and a murderer  
but i'm cleaning up so well  
no more gingivitis and half ass writings  
about the inability of nail biting on a cross  
fluffy bunnies and greener pastures on the west side  
this 1 man spaceship is blastin off  
extra terrestrial  
cryptozoologists'  
will sure have a hard time  
analyzing my fecal remains  
rubbish and relics of tom selleck's relish accompanied by a gospel of good reasons to grow a moustache  
here we go again  
rots' off his rocker and up in a rocket with no intention of communicating back here  
maybe i'll send a message in a bottle about how to rig the lotto  
and proof of what you thought impossible  
angels lay eggs  
thas just the way it is  
i'm not gonna say it again  
thas just the way it is  
i guess were all liars

seeing the carriage in flight
roll of the cinders
so fly
always signature
burn
the endless Knight,
Blackmore
Man on the silver mountain
and this child in time

rides that blazed the trails
Rainbow, a present with Candice
screaming cries the bullets wail

kept up his line
though bitter with rhyme
he stepped foot backwards
in time
lifting lofty castles and dreams
no rest for laurels
brooder and the bard
this Ritchie reigns
always ever supreme

the days of the castles
wanderers and battling cries
chivalry of men carried on steed
Argus crossing the seas
hearing tales epic these rides
over rainbows bridge
from Valhalla skies
claims of the fallen
victories these Tall men
we cull on crafted Loves


from owls and the doves
perched amongst the sides
The Goddess' and the Gods
casting ominous eyes
Nyx bore us Oneiroi
cousins to Sky and Mountain
the flow and the fountain
clashes of the swords
and the kings busy court
Faerie and a ways
escape within days

D                                                Am                    Can we just all get along,
Tryin’ to get a job I planned to keep                    For we share the same vision
D7                   G                                                  Let us unite.

Every year when Christmas comes                      G

Am                                 D7                                 What’s a missing letter in a name?
Dancin’ to the rockin’ band.                                D7                           G
                                                                            MACA without an “A”
(Repeat same chords as I)                                    D7              G

                      II
I’m new in your neighborhood                                   *** end ***
Wonderin’ what’s in a name
It puzzles me.
It’s just another organization
This new group still looks the same
Enlighten me.

Reunited Souls

Intro: D - G - A

You're the girl of my fantasy
In your dreams I'm your reality
Now that you're with me
Every minute seems eternity
Every word we say
Sounds like a melody
Every song we hear
To our hearts, a symphony
Every time we make love
It's full of ecstasy

(Refrain)
Through all the years that we've been apart
The bittersweet memories remain in our hearts
And Fate has been kind to show the right path
A path to shining hope for you and me

And when our souls so long denied
Finally crossed their paths
Our eyes did the talking
As we used to do
We embraced so tight
As if never to let go
Our lips were locked
As if it was the first time
Long lost souls
Reunited at last

(Repeat Refrain then fade)

Beneath the Willow

Do you remember?
My dear
Sitting beneath the willow
For so many years
I miss the sunsets
That we shared
The gentle breeze
Blowing through your hair

Where have you gone now?
Have we moved on?
I've been waiting for you here
From dusk till dawn
Been a long time since
We've been buried here
Beneath the Willow
For so many years

Do you remember?
My dear
Sitting beneath the willow
For so many years
Been a long time since
We've been buried here
Beneath the Willow
I'll stay with you my dear

Time nor space hold no boundaries

and sweetheart, there's nothing on this earth
can keep two souls apart, so don't you cry for me
because we don't just see with our eyes anymore
not since the very start, when we danced for the stars

so when you need me, just search the night sky
and look to Mars, then you'll see me with all your senses

oh Francine, do you remember when we came clean
we'd a gleam in our eyes, it was then, right there
that moment, that stare, where both our souls
touched the first time and the only time
because they've never let go since

Her legs glistened in the moonlight


and there, she sat by an open window
her skin caressed a night breeze
that was cool and slow,
good for her soul to ponder
and then her mind would wander west
past the sand and the oceans
and a beat would thump hard in her chest
because she yearned for something

I'd see her sit staring into black
and I'd watch her hands glide across her body
like only a woman can, and she'd arch her back
and move her hand down then back up again
god.. her face lit with passion

and she moaned a low moan, sucked in some air
then groaned a slow groan, a low slow primal groan
her long lean legs glistened, and she hastened her touch
to a much more heated tone and her voice
had grown with such surety, a full on expectancy
a raw ecstasy, then she shook, and she'd a look in her eyes
that screamed nature, and then she cried
for the love of him.
 

a poet never knows it


phoebe, write your poetry
and then when you're grown
they'll leave you alone
it's such a terrible crime
you're next to nothing
till you die, till you die
 
some men never make it
some men make it to the top
still a poet never knows it
no, not until he drops
 
you can hang in there, mama
write your soothing songs
rock-n-roll to your music
till the music's gone
when it's all over
then you're on, then you're on
 
phoebe, write your poetry
and then when you're gone
they'll acknowledge you
they always do
it's still a shame just the same
honey, they just never do
acknowledge you
till you die, till you die

forever yours


should the moon
retreat forever
behind a darkened sky
and all the stars
fall earthbound
without their
twinkling light
if the sun should
cease to rise
the clouds go
their separate ways
and all the birds
no longer soar
i still will
not forget you
for, in all truth
i am forever yours

only for a moment


only for a moment
as the rain fell on my face
your body long and lean
played on my memory

it was winter once more
i was lying in your arms
that fireplace ablaze
so far away that place
once was known as laurel farms

i was still so unsure
reaching for you in the night
words so softly spoken
as your heart beat close to mine

then the sun came shining
warmed the sand beneath my feet
as quickly as you came
i felt you leave my memory

Self-Loathing Narcissist
 
Walk a thin line between narcissism and self-destruction
What can I say..? That part-afflicted is well-constructed
Hard to fix it.. My heart is distant and disconnected
Starving art insisted a partial image had been reflected
Pieces to a puzzle.. I don't know where to go from here
We're sleepless in a struggle, where no one's over their hope or fear
It's grounds for obsession.. Hear a stomach growling?
That's the sound of recession with countless rounds of aggression..
In and out of bounds now with bouts of depression
Been spinning in and out, around town with doubts and deception
I can't call it...
Sometimes I feel as if we're all but sick and dying
This could be a better place, yall just sick of trying
Feelings I could never shake; alternate denial
While you legislate, I medicate, my altered state's on file..
Down with lost souls and the misdirection of pain
Who had found their crossroads where the intersection had changed
And this is no intervention.. This was never arranged
No, this an interjection, a quick expression of rage
They rid us of writ exception.. Fitted the rest for chains
So we'll give in to bigger questions and live for the lesser gains..

At Arm's Length

The walls are closing in.. The water-line is rising up
The ceiling's getting lower now, and time, it flies and dies with us
The winds will grow colder.. Shoulder the burden
As these kids grow older, know these soldiers are virgins..
The children of men, who had nothing to live for
Just a past love, but that's something to sin for
That's not enough, this vast dungeon'll give more..
I need the pain and chains and things to rearrange this reign of kings
Hundreds run ragged; what'd dad punish the kids for..?
Your father's an angry god.. War monger
Born conqueror; scores wander to change these odds..
I feel doom looming, the looting and shooting-sprees
The grip on the noose loosened, and soon I'll be truly free..
Bare and bleeding, barely breathing, yet spewing so fluently
It's said love conquers all, it's true.. Including me..
You can see, I'm not sure if I'm dreaming..
Torn at the seams, she's not sure if I'm leaving
Still searching for something I'm not sure I believe in..
At war with my demons.. Can't keep from drowning
These wings are holding onto the things that keep me grounded..
The blackening of a heart.. The collapsing of a soul
The scavenging in the dark for the patching on this hole
I just can't see what's happening; the gravity.. Its hold
On depravity is maddening, this cavity..? Is cold
And I'm deep inside myself.. Keeping myself at arm's length
Reach, and I might help; the reason? Why else, a calm strength
I knew it once before.. This truant lust for war..
This useless sin has use again, there's few I've trusted more..
