BIN JAMAL

A pervert by the name of Bin Jamel
Was charged with bizarre sex with a mammal 
the charges were read
Bin Jamal went red
Cos the charge was bonking a fat camel...

Wally Needs To Lighten Up a Little
We went on a Lampoon vacation
Drove damn near across our great nation
We found Wally World
The rides made me hurl
(Can’t repeat Wally’s exclamation)

To Lighten the Day
I love a bacon sandwich 
and I'm partial to a sausage or two
I can't think of anything nicer 
Than a dumpling with beef stew .

Then I pulled a vegetarian 
A real tree hugging babe 
She tried to tell me eating meat
Would put me in my...

Inception: Lighten Up My Load - Collab With Mikey Part 7
I esteem your presence
Glowing with glee 
At times, you do say things without thinking 
I’m the god of distress – 
You’re leaving me breathless 
Cutting me down like I’m some decaying tree
You don’t see how much you make me…
Guilty for your crimes
Taking the blame about...

Lighten My Load
Enlighten the love in my desire…it burns on like a fury fire…
Benevolence is burning a hole in my head…
Because I’ve gave you it far too many times

Change is a challenging choose
You fail and you lose…
But, I am a successful loser with you
And I love you...

Lighten Up
Lighten up
 You know those feelings come in waves
 One day you'll be back on dry land
 Breathing the sea air
 Not
 choking on salt water
 
Unless god forbid it's medical
 In which case I prescribe
 Reading or better still
 Writing poetry
 Until the pain

Lighten Up
tears of sadness
tears of delight
fall from my eyes
pain and loss burn deep
whereas tears of joy
carry hope
soft voices spoken 
in love and lust
may roar in anger
destroying the soul
tender touch of a hand
raised in wrath and hatred
weigh heavy on your heart
lighten up
push through to the light
make sense...

Lighten Up Baby I'M Too Old For You
There was a 
beautiful woman
Too old for you
She lived
 in the energy
Of lifes worn shoe
With things to plan
And thoughts to hatch
She stayed inside
Where it was warm 
and grown...organic
Comforting and
surreal in 
the reality
Of the old souls
 leather
The walls behind her
every corner
She sipped her tea
and baked her...

Premium Member To Lighten the Load
To lighten the load, I suggest 
stop adding to the stack. 
Next, are there things you could sell,
return … perhaps send back?

Perhaps your load is more challenging, 
than just, a lot of things.
Perhaps load is a lack of funds,
and all the stress … that brings.

Perhaps...

A self-learned means I follow
Though I am not god Apollo;
To those who approach me with ills,
Of psychic nature those slow-kills...

I talk less; make them to pour out,
All in their hearts; that turn them lout;
Within deepest oceans of pain,
That they might soon true freedom gain...

They go...

“Good day!”  Such makes hearts jubilant
While expressed with face that’s vibrant
Wishing all to be triumphant
Along the Lord’s light --- radiant.

“Peace be with you!” Words so joyous
Hope-filled against being anxious
Since the Creator is gracious
Granting sweet bliss, indeed precious.

Easing the angst of...

Lighten Up
Lighten up!  Don’t lose your mind, losing
Looking back, you've had lucky breaks
Learning lessons from mistakes
Letting loose with license
Leave early, come late
Live and let live
Love's losers
Leap then
Look

Premium Member A Promise
Do not simply promise someone 
If you're not sure of the outcome
Not ruling out the possibility of unexpected circumstances
Not ruling out the limit of your ability
A promise is not made to be broken
It's  made to be fulfilled
It's made to light up people's heart
It's made...
