Never, never, never,
Conclusive word if ever
No way round it
Can’t be cancelled
Can’t avoid it.
Sometimes good
Sometimes helpful
Sometimes hinders.
Can protect us
Guard our pathway
But so precious
When God says it
As his promise
Safe to keep us
Evermore.
‘I will never leave,
Nor forsake you!’
Never, never, never!
Hebrews 13:5
storm
howls
in nether regions
licking the dust off the earth
like powdered sugar
shaking
and rattling loose
all that's not tightly bound
driving and pounding
it spanks smooth beaches
wave after wave
lashes and crashes
against drenched shores
tide swollen
beyond its limits
challenging places it's
never been
like the wind
in every nook and cranny
groans
tosses
jostles
exposes
releases
its pent up
energy
in raging blasts
making you die
so many little
deaths
then rocking you
its baby
to sweet never never land
where you dance with
enchanted flora and fana
until sparrows crying
and fresh morning shining
awaken you lying
in the strong tender arms
of your gentle snoring
monster
The verb "hate" can never be
My darling, in my vocabulary
I can only love you night and day
I can only think of you all day long
I can only dream of you and long
For your presence at midday
When the bells are ringing
When the birds are singing
Gleefully on the branches
Near the sumptuous ranches
I can simply love you, my dear
Please come now, over here
Over there, much closer
Over here, much nearer.

Heart Swore An Oath, Never, Never Again
When the joy overcame the epic pain
Heart swore an oath - never, never again
Letting life and love's great loss break this heart
Torn asunder, lost and ripped apart
Where love only exists as in a dream
A tragedy, drinking from a dry stream.
To see her eyes that inspired our lives
She with heart's true beauty that yet survives
Hear her sweet voice say, "good morning my dear "
Wake to morning sun's golden rays of cheer
Alas! Such paradise has now been lost
To regain it, I would pay any costs!
When the joy overcame the epic pain
Heart swore an oath - never, never again.

Never Never ever will I query…by T Wignesan
For Andrea MOTIS and the Joan CHAMORRO Jazz
Band’s version of Nancy Wilson’s « Never Never will I marry » (Original lyrics by Frank Loesser)
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=mKCdi71MRi4&list=RDAMVMmKCdi71MRi4
Never Never ever will I query
What lies beyond the Dead
No race No religion not Country
I will blindly not be duped or led
Born to one Mother and lone Father
Long bred from Dark Ancestor
Neanderthal or Fontéchevade Brother
Will I let some god put asunder
No doubts No fears nor Myths
To keep this World in one Family
Never Never will I ever blunt Truths
Split countries to foist ethnic party
One father-mother One brother-sister
No nose No chin No brow Nor skull
One from the other higher or better
What Just god would want us Hell
No more wars to boost economy
No more lurid lies to breed enmity
No more priests dividing Almighty
No more excuses to halt equality
Never Never ever will I bury
The Dead in shrouds blood red
Gone to worlds far from envy
Gone to worlds where gods aren't bred…
(c) T. Wignesan - Paris, December 7, 2020
I always think people are nice
until they aren’t.
Most are nicer in person than on the phone.
Real meanness comes out in texts or other writing.
If you have a problem with someone
go see them
If there is a pandemic
pick up the phone
If you have an I-phone
face time them
If you do not at least speak to them on the phone.
Never Never Never Never Never put anger into written words.
It comes across as much more hostile and unkind than it was ever meant to be.
Never, Never Quit
When the entire universe is out
to do you in,
When you know you have both
morality and integrity,
My friend, what lies ahead of you
is one gigantic win!
For you have the wind at your back,
the sunshine on your face.
You are far, far above falsehoods and
jealous, human disgrace!
God and we, know you honor Him and
human life!
We acknowledge your courage and stand
behind you,in this moment of human strife.

I’m lost and my Chevy is my Never, Never Land
A place I go to where everyone understands
The rules are the same for everyone to follow
There’s lines marking lanes for everyone to know
There’s signs everyone can see
Everything’s defined and for now you’re free,
You can be someone who can get somewhere, like part of society
Someone who matters as much as all of them
You sing wrong and they don’t condemn
Some guys flirt, hold a cigarette out the window and smile
Then head in another direction so there’s no trial
You are your own, not a pretty rental, used for the trips of travelers causing damage deemed incidental
The terrible things that happen are accidental
They didn’t really see you and ignore you deeming you inconsequential
They just didn’t see you – it was just an accident you must understand
They would never intentionally hurt you in Never, Never Land.
( true feelings)
I never want to fall in love
I never want to be in love
I can't picture myself being with someone I will never trust.
I can't picture myself wondering if he will remember the time we met.
I never want to fall in love
I never want to be in love
I can't picture myself wondering if someday we will wind up
Be apart from no longer be in love.
I can't picture myself wondering if he will ever call.
I never want to fall in love
I never want to be in love
I can't picture myself being married after all the work that
was put to wedding, then to wind up being divorce in the next two years.
I never want to be in love
I never want to fall in love
I thank my past relationships for making me to avoid alot of mistakes.
all you done
my repect you won
your gone to sky blue
forever still love you too
i'll
NEVER NEVER FORGET
YOU

Never Never Land
come little children lets go for a ride
theres nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
2nd to the right then straight on till morning
come for the ride of your life you've been yearnig
mermaids and elfs and fairies
you'll come back home with tales and stories
lost boys and girls and indians
you'll want ot fight the pirates all again
seductrists and their lavish tails
if that is it and all else fails
then here will come peter with his lovely birds
they'll weave up tales you've never heard
do you think this is all a game?
that peter pan is only a name?
then...
welcome to never never land
You are only in this place I call never-Never Land,
I love you so much though.
You’re everything I dream of having,
Come down to the world.
My protective, blonde-haired, beautiful eyed prince,
Come down and save your princess.
In Never-Never Land you hold me tight.
I have no pain nor fear the night.
I hold no fear for the following day,
And know that you are there for me.
Come out of Never-Never Land and,
Be with me forever.
I don’t want to have to close my eyelids,
Just to see my love.
I hear you in the night time.
You’re always calling my name.
At times you scream for help,
But I can’t find you anywhere.
I awake in terror,
Knowing you’re in suffering.
I want to be able to save you,
But you’re only a figment of my imagination.
I stare out into this huge blue Sea,
And the waves, well, they just carry me.
My mind drifts so far away,
Because the Ocean is where I lay!
I’m off to never-never land once again,
So take my hand and let this journey begin!
I listen carefully to the Oceans roar,
The waves, well they just help me soar.
My mind relaxes with my day,
Because the Ocean is where I always lay!
I’m off to never-never land on a hunch for so much more,
So take my hand and let’s find new places we can both explore!
I can see blue water with big fluffy white rolls,
Waves, well they just capture my entire soul.
My mind just helpless with my day,
Well, it is the Ocean where I lay!
Off in never-never land I can always see,
A gigantic Ocean covering over me!
Far away in never-never land near the Ocean is where I always lay.
Lifeless in the sand is where I’ll always be.
So take my hand and be lifeless with me in the sand.
Together, just you and me on our journey to never-never land,
Just lifeless in the sand, together you and I and always we’ll be hand in hand!

A red bounds to halt
ears radar,
and the Nulla Nulla
rolls to beats of thunder
and smash tribute,
in a lightning
conducted heaven
An invite of ozone
in the showered mist
heralds,
a first riff,
as black opal clouds,
open
to concert
A drop hits,
the emptiness
before the tempest,
consumed silence
--------
living
out day-dreams
in the present-
prisoners of past
cravings
