Lost in reverie
Of being with you
So far and yet, so close
No good wishing for what can't.

Hope in words
To redeem found spark
Never assume, always ask
Can't ever know what reward awaits.

So, lark some more
By window ajar, lovebirds
Flutter onward with affection
Whose depth can be but felt in song.



Star Toucher,  22 March 2013
To anyone who's ever felt the futility of a hopeless situation...and yet still hopes, in spite of it!

Paving the way into the future
Sharing Montmartre songs
With painters on the side
Picturesque ideals....

You were once with me
Scarred by words of yore
Said beauty was all yours
Said I'd never high cheekbones.

I look'd within and sought light
And mixed colours, all from white
Temerity to stare life in the eye
With pain(t) dashed across my cheek.

So, now the years have roll'd
And many a canvas sold
You pass by...gaunt, high cheekbones
Wanna buy a painting?



Star Toucher, 22 March 2013
Kind return of a slap in the face....lol
You should see the painting....

Pedal Verse
O, keeper of the soul, entrusted to your care
Mind where you leave the baby
Cos Mama's gone a-walkin'
O, keeper of the soul, go and mind your back door.

Refrain:
'Cos baby's all a-cryin' , oh no!
And somebody's a-lyin', oh-hoo-oh!
Momma knows not why
Heaven knows how she forgot
To lock that back door in her head!

Chorus:
Momma, go and lock your baby away
Please go and lock your back door
Momma, don't give your baby away
Please go and lock your back door!
'Cos in the doorway stands an ugly beast
Waiting to take him away....


You're guarding the front door, all locked and barreled
Peeping through half-drawn curtains
To keep out, what you know you must face!

Didn't she hear the whispers, behind her prayers, no!
That trusting too easy....would be her downfall
To tempt the hand of Fate?

Don't you know, when you went a-walking
The devils crept into your Light
And stole it away, when you didn't guard that back door!

Pedal Verse
O, keeper of the soul, entrusted to your care
Mind where you leave the baby
Cos Mama's gone a-walkin'
O, keeper of the soul, go and mind your back door.

One of the saddest songs I've ever written.
Penned a few years back.
st64 Mar 2013
Walk thee behind me, woman
Cast down thine eyes; thy mind
Deposit thy wealth in my account
Pay a penny at this coast of mine.

Moonlighting is imperative to survive
Veil thy face and hide thy tongue
Do obey my word upon thy ear
Bother not with thoughts at all, *****....

Seek not a soul to assuage thy pain
Fall upon me in eternal gratitude
I grant you the wherewithal for my pleasure
And always behind me, thy feet shall be.

Sad state of affairs in the world we live in...
Hard to believe that we're in 2013 !
:(

I will cut your eyes from you
Place them in the waiting dark
An oubliette prepared just for you
They will grow and let us feed.....


Star Toucher, 19 March 2013
Just a window-silly conundrum....figure it out, if you dare!
Just jokin'.....lol

Can I have a crystal-clear hour?
Please give me the gift of warmth...

Why do I feel as if I were two people
Oh, why do I feel as if I were two people?
At once rotten...and then, heaven-high
At once so rotten and then, heaven-hi-igh!


Could we unwrap a little bit of happiness?
Would you pour us a tiny tot of tenderness?

Why do I feel as if I were two people
Oh, why do I feel as if I were two people?
At once rotten...and then, heaven-high
At once so rotten and then, heaven-hi-igh!



Chorus:
Why won't you, and only you....follow me
Why won't you, and only you-ooh...follow love?
Why can't we....yes, only we-eeh follow love?
How is it that you're so sure to be carried along?
That may be your supreme gift, but only part of it.
Just erase the chill, put reality in pure starlight.


Refrain:
Suppose you wouldn't speak with me
So we skirt around issues, so close, can't cope
Can we ever pierce this stubborn membrane of confusion?
And not hesitate to take that steep road together?

Are we too involved ....to see the picture?
Gotta defy that slow chill....
To thaw, to release, to be someone else now.
Free.
Don't wanna know that.
Suspect it's too alone.

Gotta break down that wall, gotta thaw that chill
Really gotta explode into life - E R U P T ! !
Yeah, gotta burn that chill !

Make no mistake:
Miscommunication leads to confusion, when ego is well-fed.

Drop-tuned song written in 2009.

Dab, soak
Scrub out blue.
Who wants
A bleached soul?


Star Toucher, 15 March 2013
Some stains can add character...like a spackeled ceiling yielding pretty patterns for the open mind.
And...there's colour in a rainbow :)
