If We Don Need Um-Why Feed Um
 
We do not need to feed -
who we do not need
Every since they yelled
thar's gold in dem dar hills
dars oil in dat der groun
there's
diamons in dat der mine
there is salt in dat mine
ders water in dat well

There once was a lady from London
Whose blouse inadvertently came undone
Out popped this guy
With two dark brown eyes
And a jolly jiggle, dum-dee-um-dum

This is a song I wrote in German. I've given my translation in English. If you are a german speaker, please let me know about mistakes I've made..
 
Nichts bleibt jetzt zu töten doch die Zeit und der Schmerz
Als ich Schutz vom Regen suche, dem...

SORRY  PAGE NOT FOUND ERROR 404
NOW WAIT A MINUTE UM I WAS JUST HERE YESTERDAY
I SAW WHAT THIS CANIDATE DID HOW THEY TAKE THAT AWAY
HOW MUCH DO THEY CONTROL AND STILL WANT MORE
ERROR 404 IS THE PATRIOT ACT COVER SIGN
BLIND SEE NO HARM AND...

Cowboy rides horse cowboy boots in stirrups
Cowboy hat waving in hand, yeehaw it’s grand,
Cowgirl is on the range!  Lasso by corral
Appaloosa horse hurrah!  Glad he’s a cowhand.

Dreaming of equipage horse-drawn
Carriage with attendants at wedding,
Hoedown rootin’ good time with
Root beer float, now kiss bride...

There's no prose, poetry, verse or line
That could ever move me like she does.

Bare to my front, naked and soft,
Moving senuously, quivering, melting.
With a sudden rippling thrill,
Building and building, in raptures tease.

She clings to me, in a unconcious rhythm,
Sighing and moaning continuously.

Between kisses and near...

Lulled by the no–see-um’s song
the grasses and I are yawning
tilting our heads 
in the breezes falling off the day
as if cocooned in imagined protection beneath 
a raccoon mama’s chin
we sway…we sway…we sway the night to day …away

and above us the grasshopper's song floats 
in swaths...

Our
faces
are novels
still in progress
Each year we add another line or two

Some
authors
decide to
erase the lines
they're unhappy with, fearing bad reviews...

My legs hurt.
I don't know what to do.
There's blood everywhere.
All I want is you.

I'm so confused.
You're the only one I love.
You hugged me and kissed me.
Made me feel like I was floating 
up above.

You're gone,
But I can still feel your touch.
You'll always be here
No matter...

What I never say is  

Should be a question on a game show quiz  

Did I tell you about the time  

Standing in line  

Only to find myself most likely declined  

Since I did not have the right look ...

I am a true Saints fan
(A grouchy old 'Aints' man)
Always pessimistic
(Let's be realistic)
Disastrous seasons
Futile beyond reason
Professional losers
Cast-offs and boozers...
Could it be we're undefeated?
Shake me and repeat it!

We started many fads
(Fans in paper bags)
Would they have the GALL
To maybe win it ALL??

Yeah, Bourbon Street would shake
Hang-overs...

I might self-destruct at any minute
tick tick 
boom goes the dynamite
it’s suppression
confusion
so tangled i can’t even put it into 
words
What a tangled web i weave.
Or we weave.

Is it you or i at fault?
it’s just that i am sensitive
to things (under)
the surface
a pulse of a real...

Um novo dia

Hoje, 
Um novo dia para ver!
O dia de ver 
através do vidro 
pela janela da infância,

[...]  
o dia de servir
o dia de ver as primeiras imagens do tudo...
o dia das velas de cera;
o dia do não, 
o dia do sim,
o dia da...

Poetry um what should I say
Ist of all thank you Jesus for the words you send my way
And because of him I'm able to write poems almost everyday
I hope to give encouraging words to make everything okay
Poetry is what inside me heart
It's more than just...
