Adrift


Being adrift
Sounds so peaceful
But how can something so peaceful
Bring such stress
And uneasiness

What I was once so sure of
Has abandoned me
Leaving me adrift
Without direction
And no oars

A friend once told me
Those who wander are not lost
So why do I feel lost
On a sea of uncertainty
While others sail on

Adrift and alone
Once again
I should be used to this
So why do I feel
So confused and lost

One thing is certain
I won’t go on this way
So please excuse me
I must turn my attention
To finding the oars

'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

-----------------------------



your life can be more
outrageous, you see
unique and exciting
abstract and complete
ready for it
expect it to improve
no more hiding so come
out and get into the groove
told that, yes we were
and so we believed
life would get better
once we no longer deceived
now here we are
everything has not changed
freedom still restricted
reaching out, and
in vain
every day a new challenge
not so easy, it seems
don't give up, keep moving
step up, reach for your dreams


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

I wish I could express to you
with words just how I feel
but the words, they seem to fail me
they can't describe what's real

2006 is about to end
and though I should feel tall
the new year makes me anxious
and I find I'm feeling small

There is one thing I'm sure of
it's that I have a big heart
and all of you are in it
you each take up a part

You've made me laugh and smile
you've held me when I cried
caused me to think about so much
you made me feel alive

2007 will bring good things for us
of that, a part of me is sure
but a part of me is still afraid
to walk through the open door

My head keeps me in the clouds
my feet are on the sand
but I'm uneasy on the inside
will you hold my hand


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''

Brotherhood


------------------------------------------


take those in life, and hold them close
or one day you may have regrets
my oh my how time flies by
you should make sure you don't forget
bonds that were formed between each other
may sometimes not feel so strong
but brotherhood is always there though no
real blood makes you belong
on through life in forward motion
sharing thoughts and fears with me
you feel afraid, then turn and look
over your shoulder, and there I'll be
understand that life's not simple
real life can beat us down
extend your hands out to the others
they'll help turn you around
here's to friendship and brotherhood
each person raise a glass
because it's time to toast to us
every single lad and lass
so put your arms around me tight, hold me close to your heart
treasure each and every moment, so we'll never be apart

The day after Christmas, 2005
had just seen a movie, made my mind come alive
two cowboys in love, but could not make it work
gave my mindset a shove, gave my life a strong jerk
could not just go on, letting things be
time to make changes, and start them with me
grow up, shed my skin, leave the past behind
get myself healthy, in body and mind
heal my heart, and mend my soul
trust myself to take chances, and let myself grow
open my mind, so my muse can inspire
let my talent run free, like it was wild fire
start to travel around, new people to see
open myself up, and let them touch me
cry on their shoulders, funny stories to share
I hope they all realize, just how much I care
accept what fate gives me, dealt out from above
celebrate life, take risks to find love
the future is mine, in the palm of my hand
so it's time to go grab it, and I know that I can
so now I move forward, there's no turning back
and it's due to the story of Ennis and Jack

Celestial Sparkle

---------------------------------------------

End of day, and I lay in my bed
Thinking the best that will happen
Is a night’s sleep
Suddenly, I’m surrounded by an aura
Pale green light envelopes me
And I levitate from the bed
And out of the window.
It must be a dream.

I find myself in a room
Surrounded by stainless steel
Or so it appears
With flashing lights, and an audible hum.
And it feels like the entire room is moving
Suddenly, sliding doors open
Revealing my hosts

They stand in front of me
And they make me think of polar opposites
Short in stature, but large in intellect
Skin an iridescent opal, eyes as dark as onyx
The eyes of God? No, but close….very close

They take my hand, and I feel a sense of peace
And they lead me to the main deck
Of their craft
I look out the window and see Earth far below.
I’m surrounded by a beautiful scene
Lights and colors beyond my comprehension
Celestial sparkle laid out
Against an inky backdrop of black
I look back down to Earth and realize
I have left the realm of man
And am now in the realm of God
Beauty beyond compare

One of my hosts approaches me
And touches my inner arm
There is a mild burning sensation
And everything goes black

I wake the next morning
And find myself back in my bed
A dream, it must have been
But what a fantastic dream
Then, I look at my arm and see it
A mark left behind from where my host touched me
A crescent moon
A reminder of my fantastic journey
And that I have experienced something special

Why I was chosen, I don’t know
But I will always be grateful, and never forget it.

Monster's Prayer


-----------------------------------------



Monsters and goblins
And zombies galore
Rise up from the pits
And lurk across the floor
Witches, grab broomsticks
And take them to flight
It’s what we’ve waited for
It’s Halloween night
Covered in blackness
This night is so rare
Legitmate times
To go out and scare
The humans that live
On this delicate sphere
Move onward, lurch forward
Go out and strike fear
In the hearts of men
Who think they're so bold
Just wait to they feel
The touch of the cold
Hand from the grave
With wide eyes they’ll see
Vampire bats
Descending to feed
The humans will run
They’ll scream and they’ll yell
But we’ll keep coming on
From the deep pits of hell
They won’t be able to stop us
Though they’ll try as they might
We’re far too strong
And it’s Halloween night


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'

Come Back

-----------------------------------------------

kindness is what you deserved
everyone who knows you knows that
life of the party is what you are
laughter follows to where ever you’re at
yet someone decided to step to you
call you out for a remark that you made
off of the handle that person flew
maybe they made you feel afraid
excuse me, but who are they
butting in where there is no need
acting holier than thou
cutting you and making you bleed
kvetching about what you said
fretting about what is assumed
obnoxious right up to the end
rash acting, it has them consumed
get back here, to where you belong
everyone will be so relieved
to see you smile and your face
that you’re gone, it can’t be conceived
hope the trouble maker soon shuts their mouth
alone is how they’ll be in the end
talking to no one but themselves
bemused that no one is their friend
I ask that you hold your head up high
to be proud of the things you did, dear
can you please come back to your friends now
hell, don’t let yourself be run off in fear

Size?


--------------------------------------------------------




So I sign onto the 'net, for something to do
I log into a chat, to see who is who
I create a profile, I put up my pic
I started to chat, I met people, really quick
In under 5 minutes,  was messaged by 3 guys
and the first question they asked was, "what is your size?"
That was their first question, right after the "hi"
wanting to know what was, between the thighs
No "what's your name", or "how are you",  nothing else to say
Just wanted to know,  if I was up for a quick lay
I wanted to say,  "can't you show some class?
do you know that,  you made yourself look like an ass?"
Did you look at my pic,  and think you'd push your luck
he looks like a guy,  who'd give me a quick fuck
I really do hope,  I don't come off like a prude
but I just have to say,  I find your approach rude
"Hey, how's it goin'?,   My name is Nick,
if you've got some spare time,  would you suck my dick?"
No "do you want to meet?",   "Do you like to dance?"
your only thought was,  to get into my pants
well here's a news flash,  I don't do casual sex
if you're looking for that,  go call on an ex
If you want it go get it,  go for yours boy
I hope you find someone,  who will let themselves be your toy
I've got no problem with you,  go do what you can
but I have higher standards,  because I am a man.

Here we sit in silence
no sound breaks through the night
and even with the candle lit
there isn't enough light

the heat, it is so stifling
the humidity is worse
here we sit in our uncomfort
it's enough to make me curse

Here we sit in silence
not quite sure what to do
hoping for relief soon
so we can see this through

In the silence and the darkness
Nothing feels quite right
hoping that together
we will make it through the night


DAMN THE POWER OUTAGE!!!!!
DAMN THE POWER OUTAGE!!!!!
