My lovely London what have you done to me
Born on your lung
Carefree dreams while the timekeeper  swung
A life with you led by midnight questions and glee
I wish you answered instead of me walking home at three

For now I live on far away lands
With mi amor and these hardworking hands
I think there will come a day when we are one once more
Though I will not be the same man as I was before
I will daydream of you until this Tejas Sun must go
See you soon old friend
I miss you more than you will ever know

I allowed purpose to sooth my soul
Yet I allowed poison to play its role

I allowed pain to strengthen my life
Yet I allowed poison so it heightened the knife

I allowed poison and it hurt everything I cherish
I allowed poison so it had to perish

I allowed poison upon my shore
I allowed poison
Yet poison did not win the war

The inevitability of the Universe taking a life
The futility of it taking the love

Some mystique plunder
A loveless life, little sense, no wonder
What is love if not clarity
Clawed back from the depths of disparity
What is love if not devotion
Setting sails on intimacies ocean
Being astray then found
Two souls on a high
With both feet losing the ground

Wishing you a merry Christmas
another year gone
somewhat tragic
still the time of sprinkled magic
what has gone you can ponder
readying for a new year venture with spirit and wonder

I hope your belly to be full with warmth  and rest
With joy and happiness
Saint Nick himself your gleeful guest
Love and family without fee
Then promise for the new year
We will wait and see

Welcome to a grand question
Look at your reflection
Try to have a go
Are you a true friend or are you a truer foe?
