(Lyrics in progress)

had it with the rain
had it with so much
Nothing is really lame
Nothing is the same

Let it come and let it go
Some things are out of your control
You know
You know
We do the best we can
Just need you to understand


Life lessons you need to learn
Some leave scars and some burn
Take your time and discern
Life lessons need to be learned

I want to write poetry
like a confession that I’m bleeding
like blood that I’m crying
like a heart’s cry that I’m singing
like it’s a love song that I’m feeling
like it’s a feeling that I’m fighting
like it’s a fight I’m welcoming
like it’s a welcome I’m inviting
like it’s an invite I’m opening
like I’m open and amazing
I want to write amazing poetry
like I’m reading some famous poet
and that poet in me

We played with words
and peddled euphemisms,
as we hid behind veils.

We had reality
twisted and bent.
We chided and spat
into the winds
of coercing gales.

Hearing one's self talk gets old
Even if what you say matters and counts
Thinking of something to say when one is talking doesn't bear fruit
Lately, listening and turning everything and everyone else off is refreshing, soothing, and calming
Tune in and tune out the noise
You can agree to disagree but have the courtesy of listening the person out
Interrupting is rude and unnecessary
Hearing them out goes in one ear and out the other
The quiet helps in a very mixed up world where what counts and matters and matters just like yesterday and today
Listening carefully for tomorrow.

Aphrodite broke my mirror
then she stole my lipstick
So if you happen to see her
tell her to just keep it
I got a secret room in the ceiling
where she sleeps sometimes
when the shelter is reeling
I don't mind it once in awhile
But I don't want a goddess around all the time
Yeah, Aphrodite broke my mirror
Tell her I'm sorry if you see her
My mirror could not withstand her beauty. Have fun.
He spoke.
He cried.
Yes, men do shed tears from their eyes.
It doesn't make them weak.
Even when others come with be a "big man" speech.

His mom.
His dad.
His child or spouse has died.
Yes, men do shed tears from their eyes.

Like women, we feel pain inside.

A child is born.
Yes, he cries.
A miraculous happening occurs.
Yes, he cries.
Yes, men of men shed tears from their eyes.

But don't get it wrong.
We are still very strong.
A man is not weak because of a few tears.
Oh, if only you would incline your auricle to me my dear
and walk slowly towards the wisps of my caress, your skin
cool and fresh as rain, would feel the touch of my breath
I would whisper little nothings in your shell and tell you secrets
comb your hair, kiss your face, like only a mother's love could  
I'd lift the collar off your neck and blow kisses on your nape
I'd guide you into the warm rush of air that fills your void  
I'd lay on your chest while you breathe and repeat your creed
if only you would draw your helix ear to me and listen softly
I would be your song, your poem or maybe, a tinkling chime
I'd be your constant companion and listen to you, all for free
If I were the wind on your back, I'd push you gently forward
give you so many gusts of joy you would never turn your back
If I were the wind on your face I'd make you blush with pleasure
oh, if only you would incline your ear to me, my dear,
what a proud wind I would be...

Strangerous
At once he feels the magnetic tug upon
His bones muscles nerves & fingertips.

Aflame she glows, her ice blue eyes ablaze
Amid the fire of her hair & lips.

Proximity mere bends space-time & light --
Captivated, into orbit he slips.
