The Carnival Has a Bunch of Rides
She couldn't see a mystery
watching questions seep
from his wounds.
More of a riddle
that told a joke
that nobody understood.
watching questions seep

Stooping Thoughts
Why should her light become my light
Her ears and eyes become my hearing and sight
Her promises alone the retardant of my might
I have sat upon these steps from morning until deep into the night
While looking to the stars and the heavens up above
Please bound my hands and feet before explaining this thing called love
Is it as small as an atom or as vast as the almighty universe
Is everything improv or do we both have time to rehearse
If scripts are being handed out I need mine well in advance
It's kinda hard for me to remember my lines...
Her ears and eyes become my hearing and sight
Her promises alone the retardant of my might
I have sat upon these steps from morning until deep into the night
While looking to the stars and the heavens up above
Please bound my hands and feet before explaining this thing called love
Is it as small as an atom or as vast as the almighty universe
Is everything improv or do we both have time to rehearse

The mystery of 'Ode to Billy Joe.'
In the 1970's, a song caught my attention called 'Ode to Billy Joe.' It was written by Bobby Gentry.
Millions of others heard its spooky tale and it immediately became controversial.
People have wondered for over fifty years why Billy Joe Macallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge. And what did he and the narrator of the song throw off that bridge one day?
In 1976, it inspired a movie of the same name.
Below, is the song with lyrics. Below that, is a guy named Bo who explains the song in the best way I've seen so far....

A Campaign For An Overture
It's another harvest of emotions here
In the gray side of our lives
With the bitchin' and whinin' and babies cryin'
Over mothers who recently died
In the arms of chaotic dreams
With no cares to say "goodbye"
For the numbness soon resides
Shared in patterned tales
They dispatched all their laboring units
As you will almost certainly
Prepare for today
In love with the freedom
Excuses prepare away
But there are unseen ways
That exist somehow
Since you hold the keys
Will you show the way now?

Cheating The Ramparts
I wasn't here, my bad
Just a second caught in the slipstream
Guess what I had
Left in the vault of a childhood's memories
Sometime searching
For any conclusion or what does it mean
Just to be happy
But I'm back on square one, I failed to see
Just what is my bag
A feat in itself that's a mystery
Why can't they shut up?
Listen for once what's deep inside me
Standing like pillars
The stars will never ever let you go
'Cause we're all stuck here
The Universe is in firm control
Cheating the ramparts
And...
Just a second caught in the slipstream

A Concert
The theatre was unexpectedly busy, about a third full. I sat in the centre where I had a good view of the flat stage. On Friday, I too would perform on stage and I felt excited about it suddenly.
The lights dimmed. The conversation died.
Applause rippled through the old auditorium and a man and woman stepped out of a green room, onto the stage. A well-known violinist and piano accompanist, although I'd never heard of them. They played Beethoven's Spring Sonata. Lovely, like a gentle stream with a few waterfalls.
I thought of Philippa all...

The walls
I had a dream about you
You were calling me:hey sexy"
Your voice went up to the corner of my ceiling
I knocked it into the walls,you were entombed
You were calling me:hey sexy"
Your voice went up to the corner of my ceiling
I knocked it into the walls,you were entombed

A Mysterious Love
Chloe, I didn't leave because I no longer loved you
My intense love for you was affecting my mind
I left because of the extent to which I loved you
The way I loved you was a mysterious thing
Honestly, I didn't intend to leave you for good
And I didn't expect you to feel that way, Chloe
You lost heart and you were aggrieved at my action
And you wouldn’t let me explain the situation
I called in the late morning and asked for you,
Your mom said, “I don't think she wants to talk to you"

A Near Death Experience?
I get up and leave, shivering outside as I walk across the hospital front in the freezing rain, the northern winds biting at my fingers and face, the downpour reaching deep into my trainers and socks. It's nearly half four in the afternoon, and already almost dark, more like late autumn or early winter.
An ambulance rushes into the front area of the hospital, lights flashing, and pulls to a halt by the entrance. For a while, I stand watching in a type of daze, remembering another time when an ambulance pulled up in the clearing at the bottom of Whaley Hill to take me to hospital...

Towards Cadbury
Old god of this green silenced place,
how I wish you’d speak to me
I know you’re here. I feel your breath,
like dark lace laid across my neck,
a scurry down my back.
Come, give me now a small assurance
of my worth,
some sign of welcoming.
A whispered word of grace
is all I need from you.
Haven’t I returned, pressed poor,
compelled once more against myself,
to Camelot?
Look. My palms are raised
My knees are ready to be
trembled to the ground.
And oh, the clouds, the greying lights
you gather far above my...
