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
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.
writers note: this is one of my songs that i wrote for my band Carpe Diem. ummmm that is
all i have to say, if you like it and want some of your music that you write to be on my
album, Eat Spit, then you can soup mail them to me and i will contemplate putting them on
my album. enjoy!! :)
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!
