Thinking of You

I'm thinking of you
thinking of you day and night
from early sunrise until the pale moonlight

I'm dreaming of you
dreaming of you locked in my arms
floating around your magical charms

I'm wishing that you
wishing that you were here right now
planning our lives to last forever

A Kiss Goodbye

shed a tear
one last time
reaching out
was once mine
I recall
the dreams we shared
the love that died
nothing left inside
no regrets
no revenge
final verse
a kiss goodbye

Bridge of time

from here to there in a blink
the bridge of time can be crossed
taken in like a long cool drink
the circle completes dreams softly tossed

from the circles of Sanskrit sky of outer space
connections to the world beyond
may you find concern written upon my face
motionless without a sound

the knowledge of time and futures past
the feeling of the worlds pain
reaching out with stones cast
between the falling drops of rain

from the circles of Sanskrit sky of outer space
connections to the world beyond
may you find concern written upon my face
motionless without a sound

the Mahabhuta words so wise
millions upon billions lives gone by
below the ground above the skies
do we share the stars inside

the son of Brahma examines the list
to find the evil and the peace
the tender dreams at long last kissed
recorded in the past returned release

Just Make Love To Me

their bodies spinning
ever so close
loquacious meandering
with thoughts so verbose
they touch hands
from many miles apart
opening their eyes
opening their hearts
it's been a while she whispers
just make love to me
don't make it serious
just let it be

friends from the future
lovers from the past
renewing connections
no plans to make it last
he cries out loud
oh I've missed you so
if I hold you close
I may never let go...

Eighty-Five

eighty-five was the number
they told us that was all we could do
when you run out you are in trouble
you cannot say we did not warn you

do not reload the chamber
keep it clean you don't want a jam
we shook our heads in wonder
why are we here my brothers

They do not want to stop
they never want it to end
they lie to the children
they claim to be a friend

the rain never ends it seems
the mud covers our boots
who is the enemy I do not know
the auditorium is not an option

They do not want to stop
they never want it to end
they lie to the children
they claim to be a friend

will anyone remember
can anyone ever forget
the souls will forever burn
so dam tired of being wet

This a piece about the winding down of the war in Viet Nam

127 Hasham Street

dancing to the music in her head
she was the quintessential artist

Debussy and Ravel watched her
as she twirled around in perfect circles

her fine laced shoes with flattened toe
she could stand ***** or point

the direction of the flow of her beauty
her long black hair flowing gently

her painted lips so red so bright
I could sit and watch all night

she performed every single night
in front of the 2nd story picture window

I could sit on my deck slowly drinking
a nice glass of the finest drambuie

rolling a fine Cuban cigar under my nose
never lighting just breathing

listening to the music play and
watching the angel at 127 Hasham Street

Before This Night is Over

before this night is over
I will have returned to my post
turning back the clock
retrieving spoken words
that have fallen on deaf ears

before this night is over
I will have wiped away a tear
thoughts of what might have been
but wasn't meant to be
or the night would not have remained completely still

before this night is over
I will have given up on wishes
feelings that were never felt
dreams by only one
the meeting that never happened

yes before this night is over
things will be like they were
no more than a friendly handshake
good to meet you kind soul
before this night is over ...
