Conversations With The Sun and The Moon, Page 2

step into the dark oh baby
Every smile that’s crossed your face
smiles again on my mind baby,
oh and I hate to go away.
But I gently close the door my baby,
leave the memories behind.
I crawl into the night my baby
to get so numb and high.
Early moonlight’s calling baby
and I can’t stay away.
So don’t you cry, don’t you cry,
I’ll be here by morning
to keep you warm and safe.
I’m reaching out for your hand baby
to pull me back from space.
I search the stars all over baby
looking for your face.
Early moonlight’s calling baby
and I can’t stay away.
I’ll search the stars forever baby,
find you a better fate
Revolution
say the words
you’ll understand
what I’m talking about
listen close
mark it down
find the significance
feel my breath
warm your ear
I feel yours exhale
pins and needles
broken glass
eggshells in the air
say the words
you’ll understand
what I’m talking about
listen close
mark it down
this is our last chance
feel my lips
against your cheek
I feel yours exhale
pins and needles
broken glass
eggshells in the air
take my words
onto your tongue
taste them in your mouth
speak them close
mark it down
this our living past
feel my chest
against your back
I feel yours exhale
pins and needles
broken glass eggshells
in the air
say the words
you’ll understand
what I’m talking about
revolution
evolution
no more underground
.
Turn Around
I’m not finished in the water.
I’m not finished in the water.
Turn around.
Listen to my mother.
I’m not finished in the water.
I’m not finished in the water.
Turn around.
I’m turning in the water.
Whatever!
You think I bogue too much?
Whatever!
You think I’m high too much?
Whatever!
You think I lie too much,
fuck guys too much?
You think I drink and binge too much,
run out of money and steal too much?
Come to my place, watch me over do tying my shoelace.
Come to my face and tell me your verdict: Am I worth it?
You don’t like my dog too much?
Whatever!
You think I drive like shit?
Whatever!
I hurt your feelings too much?
Whatever!!!
Come if you can handle it.
Come if you can use your dick
to make me come.
Get it? I’m on my own.

A Helping Hand
I’ll watch my hands move along
as if nothing in the world is wrong.
Day by day, working hard,
keeping true to the task.
I’d ask them, if they could hear,
if it is a strain at all
to keep on moving all the time,
never giving up in any way.
I don’t suppose they would think so.
It’s what hands do for sure.
If ever some day I lost one
or heaven forbid, lost two,
I could not carry just as much,
or heaven forbid, on at all.
Keep my hands safe and warm.
Lend them to someone else.
Let them hold a lover’s hand,
and watch them move along.
@ Soccer
And if the birds are chirping
does that mean it’s summer?
Well, it could be spring.
But if the flowers are blooming,
you know what season it is.
In yellow grass
a brown snake slithers to the shade,
heading for a slow, sleepy lounge
out of the sun.
Eagles watch from above
in a hollowed old oak tree.
Ivy crawls up its spine –
very lethal company.
And with the passing of the day
and of my state of mind,
love comes calling me awake
and opens my eyes wide.
I can see now
seasons shift like clockwork without a tock.
Rather, windy winds whistle a timely tune.
Trust in nature’s way
and time will come to you.
In the flow of daily living
a rhythm makes its way
into my heart, on through my body,
tapping on my brain. And I can hear it.
And then I can feel it
And you do feel the same.
It Was You
Once I had a man.
Once I had a woman.
And they were the same people.
Once I had a dream.
Once I had a life.
And they were the same picture.
It was you all along in my eyes.
Once I touched the sky.
Once I fell through the ground I’m standing on.
And they were the same sensation.
It was you all along,
my love for you coloring the sky.
It’s Impossible
Forgetting
what you said
to me
outside
on the stairs:
it’s impossible
but I did it
and I dood it
and I done it
yipee.
Forgetting
what you did
to me
outside
on the corner:
it’s impossible
but you did it
and I didn’t.
You did it to me.
Why didn’t I just
stay away
from you?
But I didn’t
and you did it
and I didn’t
even fight it
but don’t think
that you were hiding it.
Every body knows
what you do.
They know your face.
They know your crew.
One day you will get
what you deserve
and I will forget
you even lived.
It’s impossible
but I’ll do it
I’ll do it
I’ll do it.
But I’ll do it
I’ll do it
and I done it
yipee.
Jazzy Love Tune
You sure know how to fool me
into feeling so alone.
You sure know how to trick me
into believing you would come home
to me, to me.
What if I had fallen for some other?
Would I still be clutching my pillow so at night?
I’m holding on to it tight because
you know how much I miss you
when I can’t hold and kiss you
or gaze into your eyes.
Oh when you’re out of sight,
I know you ain’t doin’ right.
You’re wrong to stay so gone so long, so so long.
Lullaby
Dove is not so pure
as the sweet soft blowing
of your breath upon my cheek
that like a mother rocks her baby
lulls me now to sleep.
And just below
my waking state,
comfy on the cloud,
no purer bliss comes to my ear
but your heart’s pulsing sound.
Oh! let us lie here like two feathers
blown just now to the ground,
resting on each other
until forever comes around.
Mmmm
Flat
just like that
this pancake
is fucking rad
Sweet
sweeter than that
this flapjack is dripping
with Aunt Jemima’s
Liquid Love
Round
and perfectly browned
just like that
this pancake is going down
into my mouth
Mmmm
Pancakes for breakfast
everyday.
My Favorite Potion
Imagining flying things
high in the sky,
low around my toes,
through the horizon,
that’s what my eye’s on.
Imagining a world
with you and me together,
where seagulls fly above our heads
and I can see the ocean
in your reflection:
sweet maple confection;
brown and naturally inviting;
exciting.
One look and you have me
in bed
thinking of you flying about me
over my head.
But I know you’re not over yours
imagining a world where we can fly
and dance and sing together.
Such a notion is my favorite potion
and I’ll die in your arms yet.
Over the fence
If you want change then just stand still.
Don’t walk away or take the pill.
And if you love me like you say you do,
You’ll stay right here and see this through.
You say if I jump the fence I might fall down.
I say I’ll risk a bruise to get off this ground,
This shady ground of hunger and death,
This shaky ground of pretending friends.
This bloody place is bleeding my soul.
I can’t make out what’s right or wrong.
Confused in the head when I open my eyes,
Dizzier and deader as the day goes by.
I can’t stay here day after day
Month after month and drink after drink
So it’s over the fence to see what the neighbors are doing
Just to see if the grass needs mowing.
I push the fence down and I’ll plant some seeds
Of wildflowers and cedar trees.
And they wont grow-they never do,
But at least I try, I try for you.
I try for us because we are dying,
Just like everyone else on this side of happy.
Oh but I come back to our side of the fence
And here’s already growing the seeds from my past.
So pick me opium poppies and come inside.
Pick me marijuana and we’ll get
Every smile that’s crossed your face
smiles again on my mind baby,
oh and I hate to go away.
But I gently close the door my baby,
leave the memories behind.
I crawl into the night my baby
to get so numb and high.
Early moonlight’s calling baby
and I can’t stay away.
