a lovers lullaby

don't cry my darling forget your pain my dear it never was as real as the love for you I feel rest your head upon my chest and know you are now safe forget the world and all it's ways my love for you forever stays let your eyes softly close calm your heart and feel composed your in my arms and in my heart you always were right from the start so sleep now my angel rest up among the stars i'll be here as your sleeping and be there when you're waking yes i am always near as long as you do hear the calling of my heart as i sing to you my dear

A fragrance of Love

Open up with me trespass upon my Soul open up your Heart and show me God on Earth He's here, Look! I bare my chest! look beyond my naked breast He dwells inside us all! Awaken Good Day for in this moment is Love let not sleeping eyes deprive me of this Peace! I swoon in the warm ocean that you bring I float effortlessly on the breeze of your breath I cry such sweet tears of Joy so as that I may never thirst again You haven given me the Life that I have always denied myself how great is Your Love that it does surpass my sorrow to give me Hope I pray, I plead, let this Love flow from out of me May I be the vessel from which you pour infinitely hear you well world the word which rings out always It is Love and It is here to stay!

a dream, a vision

Spanish noble in 1400's ish with a younger boy they are off to talk to a native people they are known to be able to hold their breathes like ocean creatures they have their own religion they are there to show their superiority in all ways because of their faith and mondern way etc their is a caste of sorts in manner of what matter of head piece they wear those without one completely are the most advanced and are able to do super human like holding of breath as a whale the noble is of course the young boys master and is his apprentice in training they are their to challenge the native people they wait for the right person one who has no head piece a boat comes up with such a person and they talk the young boy is to go into their temple the place where they begin to learn how to hold their breath Goethe? it is a series of different paths underwater with little holes periodically to breath from but always with the option to get out from under (like underwater aquifers with the tops of it cut out from time to time to allow places to breathe as the water pushes them along the path of art) the native elder tells the little boy there are different levels of paths ones with longer distances between breathing holes and where breathing holes are smaller then others (so as less chance to breathe) while underwater the child is shown all this magnificent art from non traditional points of view and it causes him to hold his breath as he takes it all in all the beauty he has never known he barely makes it through but is changed by it he gets out of the temple and professes how superior their art was within the temple and the effects it has on him the noble tries to make excuses clearly not prepared for this outcome he asks the elder about possible doping of the water and the boy answers out of turn about how if it were so there certainly were no side or after affects least none he could speak to the noble knows when he is beat says something sort of harsh and leaves to speak with teh elder alone when they come back the noble looks for the boy amongst the crowded dock he tells the elder "there is still a boy i must slap" he finds the young boy waiting not wanting to leave now that he has seen and felt what he has he slaps the boy across the face and says "don't take this seriously" and walks away as he walks away the boy smiles broadly the salt sticking to his beard looking white and and older beyond his years he runs over to the elder who is waiting for him and so he starts his new life and new apprenticeship living a life he is now called to www.myspace.com/tattoosbygoethe

Levi asks about you

Levi asks about you and i don't know what to say how do you tell to children that a love has gone away i never got to tell you about his plans for us how he wanted to see movies with just the three of us levi asks about you and i don't know what to say how do you tell to children what the heart can not convey i never got to tell you about my plans for us how i wanted to go on dates with him, his girlfriend and just the four of us levi asks about you and i don't know what to say how do you tell to children that you feel you've been betrayed

Can't you feel what we are missing?

How can I convince you of the happiness I could bring Or the laughter that would ring Or the songs that we would sing Can’t you feel what we are missing My body aches while you’re away I pitch and sway I lean then fall the other way Like the sailboat I planned to take you on My knees buckle under me As if I’m out to sea But even though I taste the salt I can’t seem to see past the stream of tears This was not the way it was meant to be We were anchored off a cove Watching sunsets fade away Swimming naked in the moonlight Exploring islands never seen And living life just how we dreamed How can I convince you of the happiness I could bring Or the laughter that would ring Or the songs that we would sing Can’t you feel what we are missing I shudder and I shake I gasp trying to catch my breath Just the way I had hoped to make you laugh Except this time the tears that are falling down Are not so sweet in fact their awfully much to bitter I had pictured this so differently There was you and there was me Watching movies, making fun Doing what we could of our impersonations And in between the heights that we would find We would wrestle, tickle, kiss and snort All the while in the safety of my fort While I am driving I sing my heart out to songs Just how we could if we would have and now how I long But instead of chirping words like love ,joy and happiness I scream pain, I bemoan change and lament loss This chorus is killing me, it’s not lifting not at all I saw us driving distances tracing plots across the globe And all the while we drove in style singing to the world The wind was in our hair the birds were in our wake We left behind the things that we did hate But instead you’ve ran away And maybe now I am some how Just another thing that you couldn’t wait to leave behind How can I convince you of the happiness I could bring Or the laughter that would ring Or the songs that we would sing Can’t you feel what we are missing?

i am you are

i am the light house and you are the haze i am the island and you are the waves i act as the beacon calling you near but you are the sea and it's low tide i fear i act as the safeguard giving you rest but you are the weather which blows down the nest i am the lover you are the muse i am the poet and you are confused i adorn you my dear for this is my way you enjoy it a while but go off and away i write my words to let go of emotions but you are unsure despite my devotions i am the hopeless romantic you are the young girl i am the martyr and you are a young girl i see your beauty how no one else can but you shrug me off and let go of my hand i've given all for you and wish for more to let go but you are unimpressed for all of my show i am that which never gives up you are that which never knows i am the arrow as to you are my bow i promise a love, steadfast and always true while you go through your life figuring what you will do i am supple and strong and trust i will hit my mark i only hope you will know when you have felt the spark

love loss is like...

like a bird with broken wing i'm a crippled ugly thing trying desperately to fly yet failing with every try what use am i to the sky who once held me up, aloft like a fish who has no fins it wont be long till it begins the sea which was my breath be the thing to bring my death there's nothing for me left as i sink into the depths to let the cold take over me like conjoined twins with but one heart after operation one does part i've lost my lover there is no other i call out for mother as i am smothered by the bleeding of my missing heart

waking from the current nightmare

too long have i been held a hostage of my culture too long have i been manipulated and misinformed i grow weary with the conflicts battling within me on one hand there is the scripture of the society while resting in the other hand is the heresy of the heart too long have i been taught to deny the rights of the soul my dreams of purity perverted into the many malformed visages of civilization no longer do i wholly trust myself instead my intuition lays impotent a side effect of the supposed public education i am the great prisoner of social conditioning where once were bars, now lay shadows i don't dare cross i only wish i was but one but sadly this prison ward is plump and over populated we board the boxcar of abandonment which is bursting at the seams our destination? apathy, cowardice, degradation, desecration the ashes of what once was our pride, our sense of justice our sense of self or just plain sense they choke our lungs and chap our lips till each time we go to speak we cough and wheeze, we choke and bleed what hope do we have of a hero if not ourselves in this post industrial apocalypse this place where shattered dreams lie littered everywhere this place of pustulated principles which ooze of overindulgence do you not see your own reflection are your eyes now so far sunken back that you strain to see what once was seen so easily wake up from your drunken stupor stir from your drugged coma arise from your cesspool of sex separate yourself from the inherited guilt of scholarly interjection that passes for religion see yourself for who you are forget yesterday, never mind your memories forget tomorrow and all the schemes you ARE! but only if you allow yourself to be come run away with me! let us forage a brand new path let us find the footsteps of the ancient ones and pick up where they left i have a hope inside this heart that disallows me from giving up i refuse to succumb to the succubus of modernization i believe in the possibility of hope i have faith in the foundations of humanity love, respect and equality help raise these pillars so they may become the beacons they were meant to be let us be the light that sets this world aflame let us be the rain that floods and cleanses this earth we each must do our part or for sure we'll fall apart
