pink tulips blushed red

spring rain wet them all
birds hidden away through fog...
crows' watchmen silent

Jump in that puddle.  Make mistakes. Jump toward the edge. Hang on by your knuckles.
Dare yourself! 
Get muddy!
Laugh your truth. Make fun of the ridiculous.  Call them out. Live your life.
Stand in the rain.
Be yourself.
Every second of every day, no matter how mad...

Insanity enters my distorted simple mind
To raise funds for charity for some unknown,
Impulsive, heroic, death defying, maligned 
Save children or animals or even Sierra Leone 

mind can do anything, though body unwilling 
Something not to taxing, not energetic 
Ruled out running, climbing, and no swimming...

Hey, Johnny Jump Up,
Mischievous elf,
Your look like Viola,
Not like yourself.
Same shape, same colors -
Before our eyes,
Your yellow and purple,
Quite the disguise.

Vibrant, bright colors
Painted on your five petals
Love, luck and happiness
Your gifts on us settles,
You love the warm meadows
And cool ocean breezes

If I could jump in a rainbow
And soak up the rays
It still wouldn’t compare
To the love of my Babe
He showers me with sentiments 
He explains how he feels
He gives us a future
And makes fantasy become real
I can’t quite remember my life before him
And he thinks...

Sweetest voice ever asks me.
No, I admit. 
“I have!” he says with high glee in his voice.
“What color was the cow?”
Gold.
“What color was the moon?”
Gold.
What color was the sky?
Blue
“Dark blue or light blue?”
I meant gold....

Chairs lined with stripes, 
green and white,
became ski jump ramps
for feelings, innocent and pure,
taking off from the edge
hoping to defy the gravity of fears. 

Only a lucky few made it,
others turned into tears
landing on the grass of Green Park
as the warm air was getting dark....

Thanksgiving, 1971,
a parachute pilgrim approaches Northwest Flight 305
as Dan Cooper, anonymous businessman,  anarchist airborne, 
black suit, black sunglasses, a black tie
and a black briefcase broaching black motives,
Portland to Seattle, prison or criminal pantheon, 
before he can be inducted into purgatory, or the Valhalla of...

There once was a donkey
He was married to a horse
Donkey was to stubborn
So the donkey got a divorce

Cleaver was the ways of the hen
She married a bucking rooster
He took her by the wing then
Tried to seduced her

Don't want no green eggs N ham
Don't want to...

Bungee jump from the majestic hill top
wow!It makes me fly high across the sky
My exuberance,it is just non stop
Now I am a bright buoyant butterfly

Lost in the divine sounds of the nature,
I am literally floating on air
Despite the regular fear and danger
I love the beautiful...

JUMP IN JOY
I slept under punches last night,
Smiled to the hypocrisy of guns on my face,
Wondering how many night and days I should live,
And you still want me to jump in joy.

I wear uniform that has never witnessed water,
I am satisfied with the saliva that...

Jump up high, jump, don't come down
Fear nothing, smile, twirl and turn
Jump higher still, feel the sun burn
Don't come down, don't drown, don't drown

Lift your head, your eyes, see inside
See colours, fractals, see melody
Dance to music, hear deep, set free
Don't come down, don't drown, don't...

When love feels upside down and falling apart
From affairs that deal directly with your heart
We tend to over think them from the very start
Stuck in your head like a pointed dart
Looking for the right answer to jumpstart
The beauty in love that feels like art
Baby with...
