Ode To My DaughterI confided with The Jeweler
I want a masterpiece
A wonder to the modern world
Where joy will never cease
He said he’d start with umber
A rich, golden shade of brown
use it from the very start
create a special crown
Next, sparkle from His diamonds
He used them from within
Distributed them quite...

On Turning SixteenOn Turning Sixteen
At sixteen seconds you cried
And so did I
At sixteen minutes
I held you and you held me
by the heart
At sixteen hours
We were heading home
and our family now
numbered four
At sixteen days
Our family was conflicted
Our little man now had a
problem; daddy...

So beautifully cultured but shy a motive.

ConsequencesJe suis toujours la meme personne
Pour t'avouer cela m'etonne
Etre gentil c'est du passe
Je vais devoir changer
Se soucier du monde
Etre present pour eux chaque seconde
je ne veux plus de cela
ceci n'est pas fait pour moi
A la fin tout le monde t'oublie
ils reviennent seulement en cas de...

a shooting starTell you this again,
When you see
A shooting star,
Someone loves you,
Someone tells you
“Eat chocolates”
Offer jewelry,
Think of me, then,
Pineapple flavors,
Mango flavors,
On a distant island
There is happiness,
Tell you this again
When you see
A shooting star,
There’s someone who loves you.
Dites-vous ceci,
Quand vous voyez
Une étoile filante,
Quelqu’un vous aime,
Quelqu’un vous dit
Mangez des...

little conversation with Paul Eluard great french poetNo, my friend Paul, it’s not about saying everything,
And we do not lack time,
But the point is to say what you love, to love what you say,
Like a saxophone solo in a New York club,
To say that there are people who have heart, to say...

This Is Not a PipeThis is not a pipe
I can see that
No bite, or burn, marks
It’s just a piece of art
Nothing you can get a grip on
A pipe is made for smoking
I keep mine stored away, haven’t used them for a long time
I remember a pipe, stuffed with gunpowder...

tout en volant très rapidement afin dans votre voiture
slamming into a tree & just barely
