Yes i can swim
strokes through the sea
but the swordfish is better
much better than me

Yes i can fly
my eager engines burn
nothing to the falcon
simply done, once learned

Yes i can run
toss my legs in front
leisure to the cheetahs
three fold faster on the hunt

Oh but did you know
just how few of these?
When we left the gates
map and guide made me

If I could read your thoughts
Who knows what I might find
If I could read your thoughts, oh babeah
Who knows what I might find.

Perhaps it's BEST not to read you too much
Perhaps it's best not to READ you too much
Perhaps it's best not to read you too MUCH.

I might just find much more than I expected!

Refrain 1:
Watching you while you sleep
I wonder where you wander
Which paths you tread, where you say you go
And where you REALLY go!


Refrain 2:
I may just find you curled up in a corner
Waiting for the sun to climb up on your shoulder
Checking every move, watching every mo-ove
Escaping the clutches of your own fear!


So, if I could read your thoughts
Who knows what I might find
If I could read you . . . .


Star Toucher, 08 March 2013

We had a pig of whom my son adored
My wife and I did deplore
We gave in and let it stay
My son could not hold back hoorays

We sat through a wicked storm
My son went out to keep him warm
We heard a screech, running, cries
My anger peaked when I saw his eyes

We never thought the pig would bite
My son forgave, it wasn't right
We took the pig, to spill it's ******* blood
My heart broke down... my son's love

We thought it through and agreed
My son should never have to bleed
We got some rope and tied it down
"Only see and speak" brought a frown

We then considered, knock out it's teeth
My word! This shall end our grief
We grabbed a hammer and took a swing
My pig could only squeal and sing

We did not know what would become
"He's no longer friendly, just bitterly numb"

'I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty;
I woke, and found that life was duty.
Was thy dream then a shadowy lie?
Toil on, sad heart, courageously,
And thou shall find thy dream to be
A noonday light and truth to thee.'

Your voices when meshed
Make melodies unheard
A simplistic beauty
Yet not of this world

The pluck of your strings
Caressing of keys
Creating a harmony
To bring Gods to their knees

Your lyrics speak of shadows
Ravenous for light
To succumb would be wrong
So you stay faithful to the right

But I can spy your glances
Your looks of longing love
As your souls share a song
You're fit like hand and glove

How tragic is this timing
So close and yet so far
Both parties could submit
But that would leave a scar

So you soldier on through life
What's meant to be cannot
Staying true to your commitments
And the time that love forgot
