Like riding on waves wavering
not sure where it takes me
searching for a log just to hold on,
but helpless, and alone in an abyss.
Slumber, how I wish a day's sleep
to keep everything aside, and rest,
in my beloved’s lap, that warm lap.
Hours of cuddling , sweet lovemaking
the joy of belonging, drugged in love
kissing her wet lips, warmth so alluring
And a rest in the arms of the beloved.
But now left in life's wilderness
Searching For the lost oasis.
will I reach it before die of thirst?
or be buried in unfulfilled dreams.
Night again, pitch dark, dead silent
A chill passes through my spine
Spreads and chokes me like a python.
Unable to move, pushing to oblivion.
Me not alone ,have memories so fond
enough to rekindle, like resurrection,
The memory of love and her warmth
the lingering fragrance of the past
Enough to live on but why tears still?
This silence has thousand tongues
Audible silence of a forgotten living
told in a lovers song, life of the lonely.
long ride of a dreamer, moving yet still,
pangs of fatigue, a thirst so hurting.
The morning sun, on a spring
winter not far away, naked trees shy
Rushing to cover with new foliage.
song of the cuckoos, resting on twigs
Echoes of distant church bell chimes ,
the creepers waving to the farmers
dews, shining diamonds in dawn rays
the gurgle of the sparkling stream
In thickets the chirpings of love birds
smell of raw earth, ants lined in order,
the cattle linedup, heading pastures
A silhouette afar dressed in snow
A hoof sound of a horse in its course
It's all fine dear to exalt my heart
but on a lonely day it's all wasted gift.
Wandering in search, to love reclaim
Where should I search that I lost
than in your own heart love preserved
my life, a loser's lament, a dirge-
of a priest burying the dead in cold
a whisper of the devil to the cursed
a mistake of the master of creation
Blemish on the moon reflecting sun
yet a crave to live, if she were here.
Even the mirage formed by memories
Make me wander in arid deserts
where the sun burns all it's fuel .
I sustain on dreams wandering
living! a faint feeling now hurting.
the heart is dried unable to beat
but somewhere, just a feeble throb
a throb that lost rhythmic speed.
just waiting for her sweet breath
To inclaim my life with her love.
No one asked me if I’d like to play,
they just dealt me a hand anyway.
Said I could learn as I played along.
So when I plopped down the ace of spades,
they said a ten’s what I should’ve played.
So I guess I’d learned the rules all wrong.
I said, it’s the best card there can be.
They said unless you’re born before three,
on a Wednesday in the pouring rain.
Seems every time I try hard to win,
I will only lose my way again.
This game of life’s driving me insane.
Chorus:
When it comes to living,
looks like I lose again.
In this life if you don’t cheat,
then you’re never going to win.
Hard work and honesty,
ain’t gonna get you there.
If you end the game face down,
no one’s even going to care.
They said boy, I guess it’s a real shame,
that you don’t know the rules of the game.
They slapped my back and said with a smile.
Don’t make a tinker’s damn anyway,
you’re wrong no matter which one you play.
The rules keep on changing all the while.
Repeat Chorus:
When it comes to living,
looks like I lose again.
In this life if you don’t cheat,
then you’re never going to win.
Hard work and honesty,
ain’t gonna get you there.
If you end the game face down,
no one’s even going to care.
Yea, they slapped my back and said with a smile.
Boy, don’t you know the rules keep on changing all the while.
Just one look you make my heart fly, with your deep round eyes darker than the night sky,
Just one touch,
Sweet life giver, make me run like a river, burn like a fever, just one smile can make me run a mile,
Cos baby, baby, baby, you’re here to simplify my life , you’re here to amplify my soul, baby you’re my life and baby you are my goal..
Don’t deny my love, I can see it in your eyes,
I`d give the world to be with you, I`d give the heaven in the skies..
I love you so much baby, I `d even let you win, but I can’t let you go,
Cos to lose you would be sin
Cos baby, baby, baby, you’re here to simplify my life , you’re here to amplify my soul, baby you’re my life and baby you are my goal..
Just one look you make my heart fly, with your deep round eyes darker than the night sky,
Just one touch,
Sweet life giver, make me run like a river, burn like a fever, just one smile can make me run a mile,
Cos baby, baby, baby, you’re here to simplify my life , you’re here to amplify my soul, baby you’re my life and baby you are my goal..
Come listen to our life story
Suffer for something more important
My plan to strategize
Prepare for a burden
Unless they let us slide
Hard times, you’re at home
But how do you provide
Once more, I find myself asking why
I’m guessing it only rains when the heavens cry
And even though darkness doesn’t seem to fade
We’ve been blessed with something lighter than shade
Dear sister don’t cry
All I see is something heavenly made
My criminal elevation
My peers doom, a similar revelation
A lifetime subtracted from a broken quotation
Who’s gone love me, whether I’m right or wrong
Was I so unright to live a life alone
Write my truest feelings, my deepest thoughts in a song
And I’ve been waiting for days to hear your voice
A decision in my worst ways, it was all my choice
We could never be enemies
For you will always find a friend in me
And that’s all that matters
What remains after our dreams shatter
And even when the nights refuse to fade
We’ve been blessed with some than shade
Dear sister, don’t cry
For all I see is something heavenly made
I’m too old to live out these songs I sing.
There has been too much pumped into these veins.
But if you remember how I was back in time…
Won’t you toss me a nickel or a dime?
I used to travel all around the world.
and I bought my condoms by the case full.
I stored all my cocaine in quart-sized mason jars…
in my yachts, jets, and fancy armored cars.
Man, those were sure some good old glory days.
Before I smoked and drank my dreams away.
When everything I touched turned into solid gold…
Back before the horse took away my soul.
You know that once the devil seals the deal.
There’s no way you can beg, borrow, or steal.
Another second of the fame that you ain’t owed…
No matter how bright the lightning you rode.
Chorus:
When I was on top, man I was the best,
I was so damned far above all the rest.
I’d give my life to have that spotlight once again…
Not outside on this sidewalk begging change.
Standing here playing guitar in the rain.
Your tracks may have faded away with time.
But all those old wounds that you left behind.
Left me with so much more to remember you with…
I can’t say that I thank you for the gift.
I wonder is there nothing left in me.
but the memories of what used to be.
and those sad dreams about how my life could have been…
Knowing I can never go there again.
Now I’m playing these old forgotten songs.
begging change from strangers that come along.
Hoping to get enough to buy a fifth of gin…
I lost my wife, kids, and even my friends.
So heed the words of this broken-down man.
Hold on tight to any dreams that you can.
Because once they're gone, they won’t be back again…
And you’ll find yourself outside, playing guitar in the rain.
(Repeat Chorus)
This opened moment viewed together through the mirrored glass;
Reflections of tomorrows past with all the deigned and feigned
And foreign feelings felt. This moment deep into the next will melt.
Deep enough to fill the reservoirs of all eternity’s yesterdays.
Heart to heart and soul to soul pressed together in a binding, bundling way.
As stars collide, the air will whisper across the words of all that we could say.
My dear, my sweet beloved, gather close unto your heart the far flung feelings
Of the universe. For you are like the sun and all it does provide.
An amber droplet born, the crimson life of color torn, from pages yet unwritten;
With touch that marks the night with lightning fiery hot.
There you are, and there, and there, for wherefore are you not?
The edge of lining, all my reason, birth of life and cradle rocked.
Given to release and given to self-sacrifice and given to relief
And given to the well from which all springs,
Heart to heart and soul to soul the endless song life sings.
Your breath from some joint reservoir unites with air expelled
And there is never time enough or words enough or reach enough
To so embrace this starry starry world. There is no time or distance
Between the watcher and the watched. They are the same.
We are the same. This moment opened as a gift bestowed.
Unfolding you and I and all that may begin.
The opened moment beckons sweetly
Come in, my love,
Come in.
I think I’ll tell you all about,
the things you should not hear.
About the reason for our life,
why your God placed us here.
We’re given life to sample sin
of flesh and mind and soul,
and grab a bit of devilment
to take back to the whole.
For when at last our life is run
we pass to greater things,
and grow our wings and float back up
to where the harpist sings.
To sing a song of harmony
and smile with joy all day.
Oh God, if that’s what heavens about,
that’s not a place I’d stay.
For in heavenly fulfilment
my soul would rot away,
I’d shed my wings and tumble back
.... to live another day.
For life is for the living,
not for dead beats on a cloud.
To be born again is better
than to always wear a shroud.
Join your Godhead if you must,
stay for eternity.
But I’d go back to dwell below,
where life is meant to be.
To share a bit of hell on Earth
and have fun every day,
for living I’ll have a beer to drink
and different tunes to play.
So sing a song of harmony
and joke and laugh and dance .
for when you’re dead it’s possible,
………...you may not get the chance!
Ivor G Davies
Tiny eyelids flutter ...
The orbs beneath, busy with their magical meanderings,
Monochromatic piano keys gently holding up your cherub cheeks.
I wonder, Squeaker, so close to the instrument ...
Do you dream of melody and metre?
Are your tiny legs yet dancing across a whimsical landscape,
Black and white cobbles underfoot -
While marvelous creatures tumble and play for your charms?
Or is it possibility and hope that hammer the strings of your heart?
Oh, my precious and darling little one,
How I pray for your life to be full and fancy!
How I hope that you hear the music of wonder and enchantment ...
The white, shiny tones of joy and love and beauty!
But I wish for you to know the black keys as well,
The sharps and flats of life and love,
The darker and more concerning harmonies ...
Only in moments, but enough so you'll know their importance -
So you'll appreciate the bright melodies all the more,
And learn that it's the balance and delicate interplay of BOTH,
That makes this song, Life, so exquisite - so priceless and amazing!
I wonder, what will your song be, my little one?
What pattern will you follow as you skip atop the keys of life?
Whatever your song, Squeaker, it will be YOURS ...
And it will most certainly be joyous ... and loud!

Wrap around me
just so
string yourself through the needle of time
chase the froth of foam lipping the tide
let my nascent heart tap with the tip of your toe
samba, slow dance, make romance
Oh wrap yourself around me
just so
slide down the capo across the strings
through this opening in cosmic signs
birth the waiting wonder of my love mi corazon
limb to limb entranced, your head inclines
Wrap yourself around me
just so
just so
pluck me from the moving melody of rhyme
dip with me as the moonlight strides
let my petals curl with the click of heel I love you so
samba, slow dance, make romance
Wrap around me
just so
*Meant to be sung to Peter White's song “Life Story”.
Now,I only see you in my dreams,
but in real life I have lost you;
I shouldn't have been so afraid of you...
when you needed somebody's
open hand to hold yours;
I held back, and let another kiss your lips...
I let you slip through my fingers:
all I can feel is emptiness and remorse!
Now,I only see you in my dreams,
but in real life I have lost you;
I never realized how lucky I was;
it is a great pity not to have you...
I didn't find the right words
to explain this hidden feeling!
I have been hanging on to it
for a quite time,and never said
a word about it: so many
chances passed me by!
Now,I only see you in my dreams,
but in real life I have lost you...
