Raw, a nubby grey knuckle-boned day, when the wind blows through my skin pulling at the cord which holds my insides in, oh infernal internal wall keeping without without and within within, off key Wednesday crashing chords that I have swallowed not a passing thought for the blue tunes of tomorrow, or the music I have made thus far in life and the ones that I have...

forever
a fault of tongue has made the air grow thinner and suddently I don't remember the eyes that reflect back at me perhaps it's too soon to yell but I've been here before with each new visit feeling longer than the last i start to feel like this is the place I belong to destined to reside...

GOD ONLY KNOWS
songer.co/song/viootoniewxyj6ra7fsadyjk Verse 1 I saw your name carved in a dream I forgot to remember You lit a match in the fog of a long-lost December You walked the safe roads, quiet and confined, While I built altars from the scraps left behind.

Listen to the voice of the poet
Come on big men of the world You that owe the power You have already had much money To move on soldiers You have already had much gold To feel stronger You have already had luxury palaces To live comfortably safer in And fields, ground, soil, trees, Rivers, lakes and seas. You have taken in everything your eyes can see to the horizon. But do you...

Still, Always Yours
I never let your name rot in anyone’s mouth. I stitched you into my shadow, wore our love like a second soul — barely tethered, always flickering, but burning just the same.

I swallow...

I knew, and you knew, that if I listened to "Unchained Melody," I would have surrendered to yesterday. Without the praises and disappointments, those deep, lingering sighs during moments of passion, our love seemed superficial by comparison. Everything changed the moment I saw his face in my dreams. Suddenly, the sweet sounds of Gheorghe Zamfir’s...
