I am inhabited by a cry that weaves its shadows in silence,
Night after night it takes flight from bitter corners,
It searches in endless depths, with claws of longing, for something to love,
I am terrified of this shadow that sleeps in my soul;
All day I feel it spinning gently, like a dream, within me,
It stretches its soft wings, freezing my thoughts in silence.
In a sea of lost dreams, its sigh is a faint song,
I feel how it envelops me with its mute coldness, with hidden desires,
It is a burden that weighs on my soul, an echo of an eternal night,
Wandering through the labyrinth of my being, it whispers forgotten secrets.
A shadow dwelling in my ancient heart, like an unbounded longing,
It grinds my days with a whisper that knows no rest,
And deep within me, a stir, a call to the unknown,
A song of a turbulent soul, seeking solace in eternity.
Ah, to free myself from this dark dance, from this tumult,
To find my peace among the stars and let the shadows depart,
To fill my heart with the light of dawn, with love and peace,
To feel the cry dissolve in the sweet aroma of morning.
Walking under a tall sycamore tree,
I heard a bird tweet, "I'm stuck. Set me free!"
So I struggled to the branch where she sat ~
but the second I got there ~ she did scat!
That's the last last time I'm gonna fall for something like that!
the two- ton Iowa steer gave me a ***** leer
over hear, dear, come be my ever-loving peer.
Smile sheer, he wore rings in his nose and right ear.
I resolved not to go near until I had consumed my beer.
Nothing to fear bellowed the steer. Over hear dear, over here!
gnarly snarly wharly harly barley troll
when we use his path, he demands a toll
When we protest, he hangs us upside down
The villagers come by and call us clown
gnarly snarly wharly harly barley troll
Humiliating us kids is his ultimate goal
He is good at it, an expert in fact; I know.
He has hung me twice by my largest toe.
I lost a bracelet
Returned to the place where I bought
There I found it
Someone has tied it hanging
There a caption I read:
"Lost and found bracelet,
Claim with a receipt."
I gave the receipt and claim it again
I'm happy to see that there are still
People who have a heart of a good citizen.
Calling over a blurry video,
As much emotion as static would allow,
Natheless I knew you missed me; your kiddo
I can see it in your eyes and wrinkles now.
Ever since I boarded the plane for distant lands,
Venturing zealously for a better life
Excitement eclipsed the price of my plans;
Repenting now I didn’t kiss goodbye.
Recalling sweat and all the pain endured,
Even as I build another life anew,
This house lacks warmth and I'm insecure-
Underneath it all I long for you.
Rooted to home only in the tongue I hold,
Now I'm counting the debt which I've long owed.
For the millionth time I implored
the memory that I adored,
the only girl for me,
"I'll love you as long as I'm alive,
but, alas, how can I survive,
as you, from me, your love, deprive?
My love is all for thee."
For the first time, it gently spoke,
memory's ghost to a heart that broke,
"Listen close to me.
No one else can from you, deprive.
Your true love is within, alive.
It's time for it to grow and thrive."
And thus, it set me free.
Oh to be loved by a man!
A man who truly cares
A man who all my sorrows will bear
A man to cry to in times of despair
Oh to be loved by a man!
A man who is true to his word
A man who is bound to his vow
A man in whose strength I can rely
Oh to be loved by a man!
A man who makes me feel safe
A man whose warmth is a welcome embrace
A man whose every word is laced with grace
Oh to be loved by a man!
A man who doesn't falter when i go wrong
A man who doesn't shy away when i stray
A man with principles as mighty as his build
Oh to be loved by a man!
A man whose being i know inside and out
And yet have so much more to learn
Since he is like the seasons that change
But have a way of remaining the same
Oh to be loved by a man!
A man, my man, my Christ
A man who died for me
And would do it again in a heartbeat
Beneath fate's shadowed edge, I take my stand,
A moment granted by design's own hand.
The blade above me poised, a guillotine,
My neck upon the board, awaiting fall.
While others drift through life's unchallenged stream,
Letting time pass without a second thought,
I cannot share their luxury of ease.
If days were numbered, hours slipping by,
Would actions shift to meet the fleeting time?
Would calls be made, connections sought anew,
Or would desires still command the will?
At dawn's first light, I sacrifice and strive,
Pushing this vessel to its utmost brink.
In places dark, where trust and love may fail,
I question if this path is what I've earned.
Do I deserve respect, fidelity,
Or is this trial the portion I must bear?
Yet onward, toward a self none can replace,
I journey, trusting what's ordained will come,
And what is not will fade along the way.
Witch Wilma’s accurate abracadabras no longer work
Wiley wizard had jinxed her, that mean little jerk!
She had to give up favorite kinds of bewitching
Which made her pimply purple nose go wild with twitching
Incantations and spells are now a thing of the past
Mumbo jumbo sabotage of that little creep better not last!
We secured the dogs in a chain link fenced pen
I was gobsmacked to see the puppy ten minutes later
How had he gotten out?
Like a convict he had tunneled out
In ten minutes making a hole under the gate
Big enough to squeeze out his eighty-two-pound body
A space ship could have fit into this hole!
What is he doing now?
I turned to see; he was tearing up the driveway.
This is a black asphalt driveway!
We called a company to fix it;
They were gobsmacked that a puppy had done this!
Said a handsome New Orleans waiter,
"Sir, can I recommend some freshly caught gator?"
I said, "Are you for real?
Didn’t you hear about that poor woman Lucille?"
"But Sir, what if I can assure you ~ this ain't the gator that ate her?"
One glance at your face
Saw your eyes,
outer space.
Saw your smile,
heartbeat race.
A Perfect mixture,
love by a glance.
I watch you walking,
You caught me by surprise.
I almost dropped to the floor
looking into your eyes,
the whole world stopped.
I need to give you a try.
A Perfect mixture,
love and eyeing.
Gods creativity is at display,
You drew this girl with a pen of flame.
I looked again and there she reigned.
A Perfect mixture,
loves now ingrained.
She’s pretty like a house in Spain.
My heart took a picture,
now she’s framed.
And now it’s a matter of time,
I can’t get you out of my brain
My love please just be mine
Perfect mixture,
love in mind.
I’ll try my best,
Please give me a try,
Don’t let this love fail,
I don’t want to cry.
Oh no, you said no,
is it my face?
Oh no, you said no,
this feeling I can’t shake.
But just know i’ve tried.
I would’ve returned for one last dance,
but because I meant nothing,
you gave him a chance.
A Perfect mixture,
love by a glance.
they come with mirrors,
not to see themselves,
but to make you disappear.
you say the sky is blue,
they say it never was.
you say you're tired,
they say that you have slept.
you say they hurt you,
they say you begged for it.
they bend reality like Einstein,
grinning as you doubt your own memories,
your own breath,
your own name.
by the time you crawl away,
you aren't sure if you were ever whole,
or just another reflection
in their life of broken mirrors.
Eye hit the jakpot the other dey
When I mat a donky name of kay
We got long grate bye and bye
That donky was a terific gi
Laffed my ars off over and ovr
Roled down the hell, landded in dovr
Some werdo piked me up and dsted me off
Donky ran away, scarred of this gi’s coff
The coffing fuuul turned me this wey and that
My scarff fell off, so did my farmmer’s hat
Donky ran back with his frend the bare
Bare bit werdo’s but and we ran from thare
