Shadows dance on subway walls
Through crowded bars and pachinko halls
I came equipped for fun and play
You dont have to tip but boy you pay

The night runs deep when you miss the train
After this trip you're never the same
I fell into forbidden zones
Ancient temples turned into internet shops dial for *** to her cellular telephone

Step to the beat invent your own way
If you can't dance you've got two left feet
What's the difference let your hair down its time to play and dance the...

Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no
Don't dance the...
Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no

Down the street there's a ceremony on
It's a cinch when the pink lights on till dawn
Get to grips with a ancient kind of street dance
Kissing cherry lips or grape or mango
Do every dance but NOT the Tokyo Tango

Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no
Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no

Zakuza dance

Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no
Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no

I had a dream about you...
We were standing in a garden
I gave you my evil eye
You gave me your Adam's apple
I took a bite and it tasted like forgiveness
My clothes were made of sin
Your boots were made of snakeskin
Paradise
v.
||
a voice of an angel
and the heart of a devil,
lead me not into temptation--
I know they say it was an apple
from the tree of knowledge,
but are you sure it wasn't a pear,
because that hour glass body looks
much more luscious than any apple
i've ever eaten.
temptation?
Actually I think I would rather have a fruit
Or a leaf
Pennies don't get you much
Where I come from
Actually
They don't get you anything
Except a weird look
But that is okay
I don't care
It is pretty
I love pretty things
Even if they hold no value
I cherish them
Like I cherish adhesives
Adhesives are great
They stick things together
Sometimes
I wish I could adhesify
My love
And stick her to me
Forever
I love her
Now I am sad
Just letting out my thoughts

There was a sound, cracks on a door and an apple tree, no relevance whatsoever.
Apples were red, Tree was old, branches were everywhere.
A child giggled vivaciously, a witch gobbled little apples ferociously.
Tree was standing tall and there was no relevance at all.

Sound is loud and sky is bright, school bus coming, child is sad.
Tree was wooden and red was an apple, a door opened.
It was raining and there were fishes, chips were hot.
Witch sipped a beverage, Tree grew old and clouds were dark.

Chips were cold, an apple on the ground, sound is LOUD.
Child stood up, bus stopped and there was blood.
Fishes swim, eagles fly, violets are red, roses are purple.
Witch cast a spell and there was no relevance at all.

Nothing is full, everything has things and there was an apple.
Blue roses wither, fishes die, eagles fall and sound is silent.
Witch has smiled, child has cried and sky was cold.
Door was not, people sad, relevance cannot be found.

enticed by   \\  the alluring
promise of everlasting sweetness•i had
shed all trepidation to indulge in this lone
songstress•hanging on its own, just enough
within my arm's length•seemed so easy but
a formidable test of strength•i had reached
and plucked without in mind, the doubt of
myth•held it for an instant before sinking
in my teeth•it's the sole mouthful that
had brought about this perpetual
racking cough•it's the apple...
that i should've never taken
a big bite        out of...•

It has always seemed forever
That I could ever hold you closer
The reality that always embraces me,
I will never get why exactly

Your wisps as black as ebony,
Your lips as red as cherry;
Your eyes as blue as the sea,
Your skin that seemed so snowy

If only I could caress you,
In my arms I’ll surround you;
I know your body’s not that feeble,
But please, never eat that apple

For it surely will ruin my dream,
Dream of having you as my Queen;
Of course, there’s only you who could satisfy,
The thirst that in heaven, I could fly

You, M’lady, could never be replaced
‘Till I die and my body be laid
But still, you did what I asked you to never do
Now my life drained out of color, of hue…

It will always seem forever
That I’ll never ever hold you closer
The reality will eternally restrain me,
My heart will, for all of time, be lonely

Something about you makes me weak in the knees
You must be working for the queen of thieves

Something about you doesn't seem right
But I'll grab the apple and take the first bite....
To be continued....

Here are some things I know:
2+2 is always 4, in the center of an apple lies the core.
One foot is left and the other is right, you need lots of wind to fly a kite.
Puppies are soft and the earth moves slow, red means stop and green means go.
Clouds are white, the sky is blue, and I am absolutely, completely, in love with you.
Here is a happy poem for a change :) oh, and it rhymes.
