The dreadful curse of a man like me Is no-one to share that cup of tea. Loneliness the silent killer Insiduosley creeping closer . Would be alright for a man like me Except for the thing that burns in me. Could easily be fixed with someone here But my soul has only space for her. What need a bath for a man like me I only take them if I get fleas. But I don't get those little critters So the baths not for me but one that matters. Goes over her head and past her ear Does not see all I've done is for my other. Can't see what I do here is not for me But for the other soul with which to have tea. I can feel this life literally slipping away Can not fix it with food or any other way. Cause the fuel for my life rests with another Loneliness fixed only when the yin is hither.

death by misadventure
Here at zero Gone at twenty. Lost time never regained Future untold. No one here No one to hold. Nothing lost,nothing gained It just keeps spinning in my brain. Here at plus thirty Gone at plus forty. Lost time never regained Future untold. No one here No one to hold. Nothing lost,nothing gained It just keeps spinning in my brain. Will it always be this way, Or will it change some rainy day? Only time will tell the truth, But times running out,not long now then only earth!

lost in life
I think of you everyday And everyday for you I pray. But you ai'nt coming hometoo soon A pair of cats and a nice full moon. It may all be inside my head But without you here I'm as sure as dead. It's been slow and a long time coming But it won't be long without you running. And not away like you've done before But coming back on through your door. I'm still standing in the same old place But without you you'll be the one who wins the race. I'm scared and lonely,can't live alone Without you to do for my lifes blown. I knew where I was going when you were here I had someone to do for and someone to care. Your the one that makes my heart skip a beat Gave me purpose,a future and goals to meet. Now there's nothing but an empty shell Now its just a lonley dell.

paradise lost
I've known you now for thirty years And still you bring me down with tears. Loved you twenty of those years But now all you do is play on my fears. I'de take you anywhere you want But feel your putting on a front . You keep me dangling on the hook I've read about you in a book. You always call for me in time When your lonley or need to chime. I always come ,you know i will But god its hard to swallow this pill. You know that I'm in love with you And use that knowledge to the full. But watchout soon I wont be here Then you can live with all your fears. I can't go on without you here And I can't go on while you are there. So now its time for me to run Use someone else to have for fun.

FOR YOU
Love is not a virus something you shift with pills. its a feeling and emotion and if your not carefull kills. Lonliness is horrid, and not something to endure. Its destroying and pudrid and there is no physical cure. You can call your head to rule your heart but it doesnt fix a thing . Cause loving someone in your heart you cannot start to understand what makes your head all spin. We dont choose to fall in love with someone it happens naturally. we cant control those weird feelings their unexplained reality. So try to put it down to science the gut controls the brain. But if you try to explain it all that way in your life it will always rain.

for a friend
Total departure to our needs is the reckless stupidity of how we are becoming our own executioners.When looking down on mother earth from father sky they wonder as to what their siblings are dreaming of as they hurt and maim their own mother. When will people who justify their greed ,instead of need realise that their greed will not even give them their very basic requirements for being here! Humanity,through some strange concept,has set itself up,knowingly,as the controller and destroyer of all that gives them their basic needs,"their mother and father". Man in his greed has even tainted the rays of light which give us our birthright,LIFE,for without it we would not exist. By an infinite membrame,or so greed presumes,lying between good and bad,we live or die,but greed has stretched and widened that belief to horrific depths in the name of need.How long before it SNAPS?! The coolerof our mother and bearer of us is poisened and wasted every moment. The ever overexploiting homo-sapiens will not letgreed stop them,even in their mothers death cries.A huge propergater of everything,mother gries in pain as she starves and with her ,her siblings. The sun now burns her soft skin and moisture does not stay to cool her as she sweats.How long must or can she endure this torture? Would we do it to our human mothers? A family tree of pain is her reward for nurturing us.Her womb dries as the moisture is ****** from her veins and poured on to her belly as she screams.The sun rips it from her no longer cool and loving but hard and fierce like a furnace. Onwards greed trespasses into herpumping heart,her skin is poisened and erupting like puberty,but still man is unmoving in his attitude to himself. She speaks to them everyday but they do not hear or sense in any way her agony.Oblivious to everthing greed rumbles on deaf to its very basic needs and requirements. As she criesfor help,her breath encompases all as she resusitates all with her sibilation.Can you smell you mothers breath?Will this last vain hope of hers go unoticed as greed races against its now foul wind? "YES" because greed has stunned even your basic senses.Yo do not see,you do not hear,you do not feel,you do not taste ,you do not smell,even your most common sense of all is wasted "SURVIVAL!" Between the three elements lies another.Without any one of the three the other is non-existant. Running headlong,greed does not even notice its own reflection,blinded by its own need!Our mother is wek,her milk is drying,her skin is wrinkling,her touch is burning,her sight is blined,her taste is foul,her breath is stifling and her hearing is fading,she is DYING. Her umbilical cord is strangled as it dries up with the assassination of her soul. Will her soul be heard after we have vanished or will we awke from our sleep of arrogance and greed and realise that EVERYTHING is not worth NOTHING. For when she dies her death throughs will mame and slaughter us even as we count-? "OUR MONEY"

Took my heart Took my soul Took my friends Almost took my life. Left me with nothing Inside of me . Like an empty pod Thats missing a pea. Come and go like everythings allright. But then again you dont hear my screams at night.

Here i am lost at sea My rudder parted company, with me. My guide for life broke away, and has left me floundering like a whale. My luck has turned, it drifts on back. I go to grab it but it turns its back. Just enough so i get a touch, then drifts on past. What the hell was that. Enough to give one fading hope, Then taken away, What a joke. And on and on it goes around, just when I get it it lets me go. To drift again all alone. I've grabbed at other parts to fit but this boat only takes on bit. That rudder that guided me straight and true has left and taken my life with you.
