I've Got A Rhythm (In Me)
It's plain to see
That I've got a rhythm in me
Yeah, I've got a rhythm in me
Boy, have I got a rhythm in me
I've got power
And I've got poetry in my soul
'Causr I've got a rhythm in me
I can't help but let it show.
(Chorus)
I"be got a lot of words
Running through my head
I got to write them down
While they're still fresh in me
'Cause I've got a rhythm in me
And I'm driven to do my thing
'Cause I've got a rhythm in me
Yeah, I've got a rhythm in me
Some say that I've got soul
Well,...
That I've got a rhythm in me
Yeah, I've got a rhythm in me
Boy, have I got a rhythm in me
I've got power
And I've got poetry in my soul
'Causr I've got a rhythm in me
I can't help but let it show.
(Chorus)
I"be got a lot of words
Running through my head
I got to write them down
While they're still fresh in me
'Cause I've got a rhythm in me
And I'm driven to do my thing
'Cause I've got a rhythm in me
Yeah, I've got a rhythm in me
Some say that I've got soul
Well,...

Bear With Strings Attached
Bear be my nickname
Because I am as
as soft cotton when I
play my guitar I spoil my
girl rotten she like it when
I say me and you and you
and me and me and you oooh
through the mesh of the microphone
She got the eyes of a
Tiger that's why I took
her home and
Tuned up my strings
got her hypnotized
Now she's under the
spell of my rhythm
Perfectly synchronized
Doing a slow dance
moving her body like
a snake got me plucking
the strings and thinking
about taking...

You
When you’re sad, I’ll hold you close to me…and catch your tears.
And when you’re old, I’ll still be there for you…through all the years.
You are beautiful like evergreens, riverbeds, and rocky streams!
You caught my eye!
You are beautiful like daffodils that grow along the rolling hills!
I’m so in love!
And I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about anyone but...
You.
And when you’re down, I’ll always be around…to make you smile
When you’re glad, I’ll be there for you too…I’ll stay awhile.
You are beautiful like...
And when you’re old, I’ll still be there for you…through all the years.
You are beautiful like evergreens, riverbeds, and rocky streams!
You caught my eye!
You are beautiful like daffodils that grow along the rolling hills!
I’m so in love!
And I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about anyone but...
You.
And when you’re down, I’ll always be around…to make you smile
When you’re glad, I’ll be there for you too…I’ll stay awhile.
You are beautiful like...

A Little This
With a little this, and a little that
something to amuse myself
perhaps memories of guacamole
or a cat cradle with strings
winding around your fingers
silence whispers, reading Gunga Din
baa baa baby have you kissed my shadow
with a little this, and a little that
a little birdie told me so
something to amuse myself
perhaps memories of guacamole
or a cat cradle with strings
winding around your fingers
silence whispers, reading Gunga Din
baa baa baby have you kissed my shadow
with a little this, and a little that
a little birdie told me so

[2015] It Takes Two To Ghost Dance
I've traveled this trail of tears
so many times before
always ending with a crying shaman
left behind holding the bag
waving a white flag
Here I am, not as lawman, just a layman
giving you a taste of your own medicine
Man, do you hear what I'm sayin'?
when I say that
Apache servers make for poor spirit horses
charging flaming buffalo wing style across
battlefield littered with bull shitters impaled
by their own disdain dipped arrows...

POETDITTY
(Sung to the tune of Waylon Jennings' "Momma Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"-intended to be funny not inflammatory, after all I'm a member of the tribe)
*"Momma don’t let your babies"
grow up to be poets
don’t let’em write stanzas
or live in a loft
expose ‘em to hard labor
before they go soft
"Momma don’t let your babies"
grow up to be poets
they always complain
and the best are insane
pining for someone they love
* Quoted verbatim from Waylon Jennings' song,...

There’s a new song in my heart
since Beautiful Em
has set it free
There’s a new song in my heart
it’s a wonderful
synchronicity!
Most of my cares
are cast away
via transparencies
on display. . .
O what peace of mind
this is sooo sublime
There’s a new song
in
my heart!

The Right Side of the Grass
Well, I done lost my grip...
and my skin don't fit...
My perky parts ain't perky any more.
Cain't find my keys
and now my knees
are evenin' the score...for
all the stupid things I done
when I was a young lass.
So don't just mope
'cause there's always hope
on the right side of the grass.
Every cliff I climbed
All the falls I took
as I bounced down the hill on my ass.. ...
and my skin don't fit...
My perky parts ain't perky any more.
Cain't find my keys
and now my knees
are evenin' the score...for
all the stupid things I done
when I was a young lass.
So don't just mope
'cause there's always hope
on the right side of the grass.
Every cliff I climbed
All the falls I took
as I bounced down the hill on my ass.. ...

Haste (For the Rap Hastily competition)
At this stage Humanity is tested. Stumbles and inspects itself, all alone.
Pages express. Plays to crumble your dome. Rage in check.
Don't toy with my dome. I'm like Gregory Peck
Destroying the Guns of the Navarone!
Blast when I'm prone, I'll wipe the map of your whole zone
Tight path of stature for the massacre-prone
I'm at home when I slay
Poems of disarray, get stoned and spray, never atone for what I say,
I won't be having that. Because caveats? Are just pandering to lies,
Scampering eyes, words running away; you made of clay?

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Eyes that can see what
lives inside my heart
send their ray to me,
which l love to see.
This enslaving ray
in my core will stay,
giving me a breeze
that won't leave with ease.
Love at that first sight:
some say it is right,
but l say it's true
since my eyes saw you.

Rapped Around My Finger
Rap them round your finger , then "snap" gone , word done
though they have no idea where you comin' from , respect
defect last time checked there was no connect , no introspect
just a need to interject and redirect thinking they got some
intellect dialect when all it was was a doppler effect and a
misdirect misanthrope one more reject let my bitch slap
push them back yak thwak full frontal attack a bushwhack
comeback feedback maniac coming full bore what they
begging for locked them in and sealed the door...
