My eyes move over the beautiful mountains beneath the sun
Although they are treacherous I am pulled to come
Beautiful faces are the same but explain why they need so much attention
Vanity in objects of desire often seek but you start to run
Don't hide away because the less you see then the river will flood the landscape hum..............................................................­..
Two souls in the wind.

Now I'm a Clown

I was floating around with two feet on the ground
I took what I needed and sometimes what I could
I was the king of my own town

I was lost and now I'm found
I was fighting the coldness inside my blood
Alone with my thoughts they alway get me down

I had taken some more drugs but then I couldn't hear a sound
I woke up in a hospital full of people who thought they understood
Now I'm a Clown...........Now I'm a Clown...........Now I'm a Clown

The morning mews.


Bring me home and I'll go right to bed

for the little bird heard everything that was said;

return to yourself and judge not of what you have read.

The dormouse agreed and returned to his shed

with which the two pigeons consented and nodded their heads

and the snails on the grass speedily adjourned to cling to a wall or under a ledge.

The spiders could only digest what was caught on the web and the ants were too busy to listen but caught a little from the morning mews instead.

The dog had caught the cat and the cat he was dead.

People say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one


I dream of a winter in the hot blazing sun
I dream of a world with no need and no want for a gun
I dream of sacrifice being worth more than a handshake or well done
I dream of no murderers because evil wouldn't exist so there'd be none
I dream of a peaceful life with no big noises only whispers like a warm hum
I dream of no disasters because nobody built anything that could ever go wrong
I dream of free love with no diseases because everyone is everybody's cousin
I dream of a great get together between all of the people around the world becoming one
I dream of all the animals in the world being friends because they saw humans being humane in kingdom come
I dream of a map of the Earth with one name called The Earths Kingdom of Babylon
And I dream that one day all of the earth will be filled with joy and true freedom forever till we become part of the stars that shone.

Dull

Elephants mascarading as plastic Chinese dolls
Fox tail daffodils are waiting for spring turn sacred skulls
I find the secret garden were dogs play with their squeaky plastic newspapers tugs and pulls
A dead fish on some stainless steel amongst the ice as eyes look back and tell me if life is beautiful
A million Lobster soldiers with nuclear bombs shoot the sky to end the futility of everyone who ever lived and died then dull.

Could be wrong

Filling the air with inspiration
Stars from the street light constellation
Journey into space exploration
Wearing a smile full of situation
Call your mother for graduation
Rush of blood to the head of verbalization
Ticket to ride to Paddington Station
Mountains are full of inclination
River so deep into speculation
Sun so sweet causes saturation
Bastardization of the population
