While My Guitar Gently Sleeps

boogie woogie is on my mind
my toe tapping a thousand times
slapping snare and top hat crash
back to sleep dreamy night fade away

is it a festival of jazz marching by
raz-ma-taz New Orleans style
clarinet and trumpet and tuba blow
blind melon singing do-dah do-dah-day

Latin fever makes me thrash
trying to remember the tricky steps
the cha-cha of the island girls
watching how the shapely hips sway

Spanish marimba mambo twist
taps clacking as the flamenco flies
big box acoustic cat gut strings
fingers twitching wanting to play

square dance cowgirls and dudes strut
thumbs in their pockets stomping boots
fiddles and steel race through my heart
gonna do it all do it all someday

roll over and change the world another day
dreamy night fade away once again
screaming guitars in triple tones
while my guitar gently sleeps away

Gomer LePoet...
no rest for the weary frustrated musician :)

Taz
He came into my life
Without any warning
I didn't know
Of his existence
A week ago
Whereas today
He means the world
To me
And I,
To quite an extent,
Feel responsible for him
I won't say my world has changed
Completely
Because of him
But it has indeed
Become a happier place
;
Everyone is supposed to
Live their lives
For themselves
But there's no denying
That there's a different beauty
To life
When it's lived
For someone else
So even though life's
Quite the same
It's more bright
And colorful
With the induction
Of this newest
Family member
And even though I will
Be leaving you tomorrow
I know I'll see you soon
Whilst you grow
And are nurtured
Under the care
Of one of the most
Responsible person
That I know of
;
My love for you
Is on another level
I'll see you soon
My Tasmanian Devil
This is for my brother's new pup
Con un menino del Padre,
Tu mandil y mi avantal,
De la cámara del golpe,
Pues que su llave la trae,
Recibí en letra los ciento
Que recibiste, jayán,
De contado, que se vían
Uno al otro al asentar.
Por matar la sed te has muerto;
Más valiera, Escarramán,
Por no pasar esos tragos
Dejar otros de pasar.
Borrachas son las pendencias,
Pues tan derechas se van
A la bayuca, donde hallan,
Besando los jarros, paz.
No hay cuestión ni pesadumbre
Que sepa, amigo, nadar;
Todas se ahogan en vino,
Todas se atascan en pan.
Si por un chirlo tan sólo
Ciento el verdugo te da,
En el dar ciento por uno
Parecido a Dios será.
Si tantos verdugos catas,
Sin duda que te querrán
Las Damas por verdugado
Y las Izas por rufián.
Si te han de dar más azotes
Sobre los que están atrás,
Estarán unos sobre otros
O se habrán de hacer alIá.
Llevar buenos pies de albarda
No tienes que exagerar,
Que es más de muy azotado
Que de jinete y galán.
Por buen supuesto te tienen
Pues te envían a bogar,
Ropa y plaza tienes cierta,
Y a subir empezarás.
Quéjaste de ser forzado,
No pudiera decir más
Lucrecia del rey Tarquino,
Que tú de su Majestad.
Esto de ser galeote
Solamente es empezar,
Que luego, tras remo y pito,
Las manos te comerás.
Dices que te contribuya,
Y es mi desventura tal
Que si no te doy consejos,
Yo no tengo que te dar.
Los hombres por las mujeres
Se truecan ya taz a taz,
Y si les dan algo encima,
No es moneda lo que dan.
No da nadie sino a censo,
Y todas queremos más
Para galán un Pagano,
Que un Cristiano sin pagar.
A la sombra de un corchete
Vivo en aqueste lugar,
Que es para los delincuentes
Árbol que puede asombrar.
De las cosas que me escribes
He sentido algún pesar,
Que le tengo a Cardeñoso
Entrañable voluntad.
¡Miren qué huevos le daba
El Asistente a tragar
Para que cantara tiples,
Sino agua, cuerda y cendal!
Que Remolón fuese cuenta
Heme holgado en mi verdad,
Pues por aquese camino
Hombre de cuenta será.
Aquí derrotaron juntos
Coscolina y Cañamar,
En cueros por su pecado
Como Eva con Adán.
Pasáronlo honradamente
En este honrado lugar;
Y no siendo picadores,
Vivieron pues de hacer mal.
Espaldas le hizo el verdugo,
Mas debióse de cansar,
Pues habrá como ocho días
Que se las deshizo ya.
Y muriera como Judas,
Pero anduvo tan sagaz,
Que negó -sin ser San Pedro-
Tener llave universal.
Perdone Dios a Lobrezno,
Por su infinita bondad,
Que ha dejado sin amparo
Y muchacha a la Luján.
Después que supo la nueva,
Nadie la ha visto pecar
En público; que de pena
Va de zaguán en zaguán.
De nuevo no se me ofrece
Cosa de que te avisar,
Que la muerte de Valgarra
Ya es añeja por allá.
Cespedosa es ermitaño
Una legua de Acalá;
Buen diciplinante ha sido,
Buen penitente será.
Baldorro es mozo de sillas
Y lacayo Matorral,
Que Dios por este camino
Los ha querido llamar.
Montúsar se ha entrado a ****
Con un mulato rapaz:
Que por lucir más que todos
Se deja el pobre quemar.
Murió en la Ene de palo
Con buen ánimo un Gañán,
Y el Jinete de gaznates
Lo hizo con él muy mal.
Tiénenos muy lastimadas
La justicia, sin pensar
Qué se hizo en nuestra Madre,
La vieja del arrabal,
Pues sin respetar las tocas
Ni las canas ni la edad,
A fuerza de cardenales
Ya la hicieron obispar.
Tras ella, de su motivo,
Se salían del hogar
Las ollas con sus legumbres;
No se vio en el mundo tal,
Pues cogió más berenjenas
En una hora, sin sembrar,
Que un hortelano morisco
En todo un año cabal.
Esta Cuaresma pasada
Se convirtió la Tomás
En el Sermón de los peces
Siendo el pecado carnal.
Convirtióse a puros gritos,
Túvosele a liviandad,
Por no ser de los famosos,
Sino un pobre Sacristán.
No aguardó que la sacase
Calavera o cosa tal,
Que se convirtió de miedo
Al primero ¡Satanás!.
No hay otra cosa de nuevo,
Que en el vestir y el calzar,
Caduca ropa me visto
Y saya de mucha edad.
Acabado el decenario
Adonde ahora te vas,
Tuya seré, que tullida
Ya no me puedo mudar.
Si acaso quisieres algo
O se te ofreciere acá,
Mándame, pues de bubosa
Yo no me puedo mandar.
Aunque no de Calatrava
De Alcántara ni San Juan,
Te envían sus encomiendas
La Téllez, Caravajal,
La Collantes valerosa,
La golondrina Pascual,
La Enrique mal degollada,
La Palomita torcaz.
Fecha en Toledo la rica,
Dentro del pobre Hospital,
Donde trabajos de entrambos
Empiezo ahora a sudar.

Lyricist diss a ***** named Ill
Your heavy head,
My heavy heart.
Your too-long tongue,
And too short start
In life that was but 5 years long.
I won't believe that now you're gone.

Your greeting tail's
A silly length
So you must wag
With all your strength.
Your eyes filled up with hopefullness
Of love returned to you by guests.

Our mountain lion,
Our baby pup,
You've gone from here.
We're all cut up,
We love you so, we always will.
To have you here was such a thrill.
This love we shared with friends as well,
Our snuffly, snorting, smooshy girl.

See pets are best,
They understand,
No matter what
They hold your hand.
They sit with you
When no-one's there,
They've been with you
Through all despair.

Taz, I miss you everywhere.

Dash check in yo cash

All the time
With these dope lines

Crossin- me is like
A step through eternity
Journey with me
The yosef aint going
Out quietly roughly
I be the G super slick
With no perms on me
Keep a pick in my hair
Step if you dare
Bound to get mauled
If you to my lair
Rhymes stack like layers
Pyramid scheme cyclin' beams
As my force shows supreme
Slim yo weight
Cuz im gainin' much clout
No doubt
Put my shades on
So i can block spectators out
I make ya scream and shout
Like service in a
Church building hittin the ceiling
And im chillin'
Free willin' makin' sales
Like dealin'
Shot rhymes faster than
Matt Dillion noggins fillin'
Like buckets of water
Step to the arena be prepare for slaughter
Breakin' off so properly
Texas state property
Move so gracefully
Nothing but tha ahh
Southern playa in me
Sora Jul 2013
You took me up so high. Higher then the Empire State Building. You took me up higher then my drugs could. You're the reason why I gave up my drug addiction and fought to be free. I've been clean ever since that night you helped me come down off my dirtied high. Thank you.

You dragged my sorry *** up off rock bottom and I've still got some cuts and bruises from then, but it's gonna be the reason I'm still alive in 2080. Same goes for you babe. Thank you.
You yanked me off the edge of the bridge near my house on a dark, rain-soaked night when I thought there was no one who loved me and wanted me. From that night on, I silently promised you each time I walked on the bridge, I would make it to the other side. I'm still here today... Thank you.
You held me the day after the "Suicide Night" happened and I was scared of the shadows.. of everything. You told me that I'd be okay... that you'd be right there with me and you wouldn't let them take me. You never once gave up on me. I'm alive because you held me for all the days until summer came. That's the best decision you'll ever make. I owe you. I love you. Thank you.
You're why I cried myself to sleep most nights since 1st Grade. I wanted to be perfect for you.Be your tiny little Romeo even though the world knew me as a little girl. You've always been that Juliet every boy dreams about. I felt like I was bringing you down. But I guess I wasn't somehow. Thank you.
You're the sole reason I'm so strong and brave. Brave enough to tell you all my filthy, ****** problems. Brave enough to trust you with my life. You're never gonna let go of me. I'll hold you forever. Thank you.
You're my wish on Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we'd all wish for one thing we wanted to have or happen and every ******' year, I wished for you to live forever and be happy. I regained my belief in miracles because of you Taz. Thank you.
You're the one and only thing I'm grateful and thankful for in my life. Nothing's worth you and our bond. At dinner on Thanksgiving, I would look to the window and say, "I'm grateful that Tasman's in my life and she gives me a world worth living in." Every ******* year baby. I love you with all my heart and everything else. Thanks.I hope I could do the same for you.
I'm not sure if my best friend ever made it home. And if she didn't, I want to be able to tell her these things even though she'll never hear me..
I was born
Into a fake dream brother
Hard to shake them demons
Around me
Cuz laws go everywhere they follow me
Subliminally
I raised my conscious
Now I got Haters feeling nervous
Every time  I preach revolting service
I'm holding back with the gat
Quick to act
Don't be mad at me
They hate me cuz my skin is black
And if at all? I have a ****** downfall
Ill still pick up the pieces
Standing tall fools on the gall
But all I gotta do is make a phone call
My homies answer with no panic
Hey get there guns bring the nation to panic schizophrenic
Cuz the world is so crazyyyy
Yeah I try to sway away from being wicked
But I can't cuz I'm focused on meal tickets
Gotta eat and keep my family Fed
Church hypocrites ain't breaking me no bread
False dreams of a reality
Sun Tzu gave me the recipe
And ingridients secrets of war
Hitting ya back
Listen to the sound of my Mack
As the world's getting colder.
And colder in feelin bolder
This is strictly for my soljaz bitchhhhh


Strictly for my strictly for my strictly strictly for my soljaz
Strictly for my soljaz making cheese


Yo I can't help but myself
So I keep autos on the self
Just incase of a confrontation
With the cops I mute there conversations
Yeah back to back against nation
Hidden in colors I got ghetto congregation
No hesitatin
We ready for the war to pop
And we ain't our ancestors *****
Well make ya heartbeat stop
I know they wish I stayed in hell
But rap stories will never
Fail thugs prevail sailin like Gail
Through lady liberty
Just justicccce yeah just as
Spin around critics like taz
So y'all can miss with the jazz
How long will my reign last
As the nation of mobsters
Ready to ****** blast duck fast
Cuz we tearing **** switch
Out the clips
Down goes another *****
Look em in the eyes
Before gave em peace
Shot em right between his eyes
Another fool dead
I'm feeling good
Politicians I'm running out the hood
Back into the white house
Stuck in a safe haven
But I'm misbehavin since I got wisdom from a maven
And give it all that ya ******* got
And keep bustin at the racist cops
Fool now drop
Strictly for my strictly for my soljaz
Strictly for my strictly for my soljaz
Strictly for my soljaz making gs
Just like i told ya
