(Inspired by all the Adams, but with special mention to Frank,
Dr. Ram, and Christopher)
For being a lazy head, see what you reap. . .
I came from your ribcage while you were asleep!
I’m second but best, and I’m looking fly,
so get with the program. Wise up, silly guy!
Don’t get all riled now that I’m not your type.
Have you seen a mirror? Talk about hype!
Go look in the stream then and see what I mean.
I’m needing a king because I am the queen!
You can’t lay down laws, for Eve is my name.
And as the First Lady, rule-breaking’s my game!
And neither to me does size matter a bit.
I’m after a man who has style and great wit!
Around here you won’t find a 7-11.
What did you think? That we’d gone to heaven?
Inside this here garden, with plenty to eat,
I’ll cook, but you catch it. . . And bring me a treat!
If being away from my voice is your wish,
then go to that stream there and catch me a fish.
I’ve already trained all the parrots to talk
to entertain me while you’re out on a walk!
Go be by yourself whenever you please.
I’m woman, and I’ve put the creatures at ease.
The mammals already have found me so grand,
I’ve got them all eating right out of my hand.
Because of my wisdom and my patient ways
I think we’ll be living here millions of days.
So don’t bother me and I won’t bother you.
And maybe we’ll even find “fun stuff” to do!
A doctor named Ram in a garden nearby
is looking for someone who digs a smart guy.
He says that he needs the “intellect’s touch”
I might just go there if you hassle me much!
And off somewhere else I heard of another
named Adam too. Could he be your brother?
I might like to check him out, though his Eve
has told me he fancies himself with a Steve!
And don’t think I’ll leave for your telling me to.
There’s only so much you can get me to do.
That snake tried to give me an apple. The fool.
I rarely eat fruit, but a roast sure sounds cool!
So gird up your loins and catch us a lion.
Then I’ll don my leaf apron and begin fryin’.
And just you remember, in sex’s sweet war,
The one with nice “melons” is surest to score!

I know you have heard many love stories, some that melt your heart
Can’t tell you about mine but you gotta know that love is still stronger
I never had to remember all it all started, cause I threw it in the cart
But there is one I held back, so I could never go to that place that will make me die faster
There’s nothing in making friends, there’s nothing in making love, can you make it last?
Promises are meant to be kept, rules are meant to be broken, not my screwed heart
All I’ve ever wanted is to hold that which is so real, you and everlasting enchantment
Do you ever imagine how it feels to be in love secretly with the one you cherished?
Waking up each night with feelings so deep, wishing I met you earlier on
Having many things in common but at the same time knowing that nothing can happen on the ferry
Loving against all odds so silently that it kills, so slowly like a poison
Still wishing you could see through the heart to know what I have held for you so dearly
Love can be so complicated; what if her heart beats is for another and not you?
You know a lot about me, my fears, my voice, my aura, these things you know
I don’t know a thing about you, but if you ask me, I’d say ‘’I know I love you’’
What if our heart beats are in the same resonance frequency but we don’t just know?
There is this little thing I’ve had for you and which I will still keep only for you
It has grown to what I can’t hide inside for that long time you think
But I still believe that the surest Angel will always know how to fly
Today I choose to fly with you even though I don’t know where it will take me, guess beside you
Common sense, once common indeed,
Now seems a forgotten human need.
We hurry through life with reckless force,
Placing the cart before the horse.
We seek the harvest before the seed,
Demanding success without the deed.
Racing ahead without thought or care,
Then wondering why progress isn't there.
Education fills the mind with facts,
Yet often neglects life's deeper acts.
Not teaching how to reason and think,
But leaving many on worry's brink.
For wisdom grows when minds reflect,
When consequences earn respect.
Every choice we make today
Shapes the paths we walk someday.
A thoughtful person understands
That truth is not held in one pair of hands.
Each circumstance has another side,
A lesson often pushed aside.
To move ahead, we first must see
What is, what was, and what can be.
For genuine progress, clear and true,
Begins with understanding what we do.
So let wisdom lead and haste take pause,
Let reason guide through life's great cause.
For the surest way to move ahead
Is to think before the path is tread.
Deep in the village, far from city's charm and gleam,
Primitive childhood days, with toys of mud we’d dream,
Swinging on tall tree branches, our airplanes up the skyways,
Butt scooting down the anthills, our high-end cars on highways.
Once a moonlit night so clear, with dazzling constellations afar
Would unveil a gem so rare, the SHOOTING STAR,
The stellar herald, our surest destiny's bearer,
That carried our dreams, through heavens' mirror.
We believed, if to this celestial magic, you spoke your wishes,
Assuredly, your future dreams would come true, even riches,
But only while the brief light streak shone, could wishes find their way,
Once gone from view, chance lost, 'til next uncertain day.
"I want to be a pilot!" one would exclaim,
"I wish to be a doctor!" another would acclaim,
"I'll be a president!" a soul would declare,
Wishes rolled as swift, as the star's radiant flare.
Today we're of age, the dreamed future's here and now,
The city’s beauty familiar, cars and planes are real, avow,
In our dreams, we still believe, hope gleams on our brow,
Ready to embrace our destiny, oh shooting star, where art thou?
Blue jays on the fence and a wren's perched on the 'pile
Lookin' out my window I can see it's been a while
Since I stepped outside of something, other than my house
I feel the need to find the speed of a little grey field mouse
Hurryin' to check the flurry of somethin's caught its eye
But in a rush to go nowhere beneath the summer sky
I used to stretch my legs a bit when then a younger man
I couldn't wait to close the gate and set out 'cross the land
I'd count the smiles between the miles as money in the bank
Never any doubt about what's left there in the tank
From notion to the ocean close as one foot out the door
But now it seems it's only dreams that get loose anymore
Yeah, now it seems it's just my dreams that get loose anymore
Chorus 1
Stretchin' my legs, my ol' heart begs
To be makin' tracks
Markin' time, "Get off the dime!"
What else could hold me back
Stretchin' my legs, throw out the dregs
Of what I've come to be
Find new smiles, out in those miles
Long as this heart beats in me
Long as this heart beats in me
Like an ol' dog chasin' rabbits dreamin' lyin' by the fire
Those joints'll stiffen if you don't listen and make that call a liar
The heart speaks truth it's not just youth that marks the soul of man
There's nothin' done beneath the sun that waits until you can
Decision's made when the plans are laid in the mind's eye lookin' out
And the surest thing is the purest thing that's left no room for doubt
Waitin' til the time is right might leave the fire cold
I won't get any younger at home waitin' to grow old
The time is never better than the weather of the day
Waitin' til the sun shines only makes sense makin' hay
The longest journey takes one step makes sense to make it now
Cause I keep growin' older, can't grow younger anyhow
Yeah, I keep growin' older, can't grow younger anyhow
Chorus 2
Stretchin' my legs, my ol' heart begs
To be makin' tracks
Markin' time, "Spend that last dime!"
What good is holdin' back
Stretchin' my legs, shake off the dregs
Of what I've come to be
Find new smiles, out in those miles
Long as this heart beats in me
Find the smiles, left in these miles
Long as this heart beats in me
Ask and Receive
I Wasn't Very Old, I Guess
When I First Heard of You,
And I Thought Some Awful Things
Because I Didn't Think These Things Were True
Well, I'm Older Now , You See.
I'd Say Old Enough to Know,
That the Things I Heard as a Child
Were True and Helped Me Grow
One Thing More I Would Say
And of it I Won't Loose Sight
Because of You and What You Did
I Now Walk in the Light
I Have a Quiet Peaceful Calm
That Has Come into My Mind
An Iron Clad Knowledge of the Fact
That Earthly Things Don't Bind
My Spirit Lives Within Me
And You Abide as Well
It's the Surest Way for Any Soul
To Escape the Bonds of Hell
So Thank You Lord for Coming to Me
Just like I Asked You to
I Needed You for Such a Long Time
Now...I Am Here to Serve You
I Would like to Be a Blessing
To Someone in this Life
I Know There's Something I Could Do
To Ease Someone's Pain and Strife
So If You Think it Right
For Me to Help Someone Today
Just Lead and I Will Follow
And Again Tomorrow...I Shall Pray
Painstaking plumes of surest gait
To wield diamond steel over fate;
With slow pair of wit-guarded lips,
As otiose words sway great ships.
Invincible flair and exacting knack
To stand out from the frothy pack;
Ochred with all blue-penciled skill,
For nabob’s dimwits do mimic still.
With the far-scanning aquiline eye
That fowls unborn miles like a spy;
Plus an ear for tiniest voices tuned,
For idlest vowel by vagaries ruined.
Gigantic empathy for pinched souls
Hewn down by lot’s inclement fouls;
Felt tear for fellow wayfarers stung
By blunt luck's blade rashly swung.
A little but constant sacrifice betimes,
For bereft chum eschewed by dimes;
Or even total strangers in want of bail
Out of a jinx along existence’s icy sail.
What if the sun never rises nor set?
To shine upon your face and let you know how beautiful you are
What if the rain never fall nor dry?
To fall upon you and wash away all your unseen tears
What if the moon never put-up a face?
To keep you company and let you know you can always talk to her
What if the wind never blows?
To soothe your perspiration and relief you of your fears
What if there’s no life?
You will never know how it feels staying alive for those who cares
What if there are no emotions?
You will never know the battles over the anxieties within
What if there no love?
You will never know the count of the heartbreaks
What if there is no pain?
You’d never need to suture the heart flashy wounds therein
What if I have loved you?
Yet you found it so hard to look beyond what you saw
What if I had trusted you?
Yet it was too easy for you to give away the ‘me’ time
What if I’d been faithful?
Yet you never felt a thing while having a mess of me
What if it was a lie?
To tell you that I have moved on without any feelings for you
What if I have sinned?
By giving away the heart to the place it belongs
What if there is heaven?
Yes there is, because I have seen the surest angels
What if there is no hell?
It does exist, I have gone through it, but never stopped by
What if I die?
I’d be happy dying for I loved, touched, felt, held, kissed the one.
What if am afraid?
I swear I won’t be, because am already dead
What if I just want to forget about the thoughts?
Just found another reason to live outside you
(Up-Tempo Shuffle)
VERSE A
Each war of personalities
Within your crowded soul
Reaps a gasp of mystery
Anticipated - anticipated ...
But just a flash of golden-green
One sweetened liquored gaze
I'm on a slope that's slippery
Intoxicated - intoxicated - oh
CHORUS 1
I drink you like a madman - ma-ad-man
With cubes of sugar, sugar - sugar, sugar, Baby
I'm clouded like a bad man - ba-ad-man
Bittersweet those sugar highs
Behind your absinthe eyes
VERSE B
You share your social destiny
Your bitter wormwood heart
Those classic drastic emojis
Interrogated - interrogated ...
But all you have to give to me
Is that mossy smouldered look
The surest way to poison me
Contaminated - contaminated - oh
CHORUS 2
I drink you like a madman - ma-ad-man
With cubes of sugar, sugar - sugar, sugar, Baby
I'm clouded like a bad man - ba-ad-man
Bleeding heart for all that lies
Behind your absinthe eyes
BRIDGE
Oh-oh, I drink you in
Oh-oh, that sip of sin
Oh-oh, I'm lost if I begin
(Solo)
CHORUS OUT
I drink you like a madman - ma-ad-man
With cubes of sugar, sugar - sugar, sugar, Baby
I'm clouded like a bad man - ba-ad-man
Angels weep as heaven cries
Behind your absinthe eyes
I drink you like a madman - ma-ad-man
With cubes of sugar, sugar - sugar, sugar, Baby
I'm clouded like a bad man - ba-ad-man
Drowning in a sea of sighs
Behind your absinthe eyes
Behind your absinthe eyes
Behind your absinthe eyes.

I am not moving away.
I disobey the reflex to flee.
I stay where it still burns,
where emotions have not been laid off
in the name of artificial calm.
What you call a halt
is only a temporary freeze,
a chosen anesthesia
to stop feeling contradiction.
But the soul is not a switch—
it wears down when turned off too early.
Your wall is not protection,
it’s a neatly groomed capitulation.
It doesn’t shield your chained heart,
it teaches it to love its chains
by renaming them balance.
Everyone has their limits, you say.
Yes.
But some limits are renunciations
masquerading as wisdom.
Giving nothing anymore
is sometimes the surest way
to avoid the risk of being transformed.
Your new life begins
where nothing can reach you anymore.
Mine begins
where something insists.
Disappointment is not regret,
it’s a call that hasn’t yet found its voice.
Firmness without tenderness
is a skeleton without flesh.
I choose active fragility,
the kind that accepts being wounded
rather than being irreproachable.
You say: once upon a time.
I say: it is still possible.
Caring is not a madman’s cloak,
it’s a conscious risk,
a refusal to become unscathed.
You closed your door.
I open none.
I remain on the threshold,
that unstable place
where one can still choose
not to move away.
