Can I say, I love you ?
Will you permit?
Or you can do just one act of love
to caution; you might be a gambit.

When they heard it screamed a 'Damn it!'
One of them had dared to submit
That Charles, Incurable Hermit,
Chair their forthcoming First Summit
"I'm not shocked, his own dad Hermit:
Why wouldn't he such views permit?"
More screams of 'Bull !' and 'Damn it!'
Didn't George reckon that summit.
To hermits is outside their remit
Not like to a kin cash remit
And face a life of self-limit...
He is a piece of me,
That was cut off my loin
And manifested in a she womb.
Ever grateful for bearing my name.
Be firm for my misstep and my fame
For i bore a true reflection in person.
The bearer of my blood seal
The only reason if am to blood spill.

Big red scooter in laneway.
Learning to drive standard on grandpa’s knee.
The sun in my face.

Hate traveled on four wheels,
Illuminated the night,
And came with a permit
Two by two
Hate came to unite
The night
By the light
The bright white light
From every torch in sight
Hate faced the resistance
In the darkness
But hate's light
Could not outshine
"This little light of mine"
Hate could not outshine
Tyler's hugs
Hate could not outshine
Heather's smile
Hate could not outshine
Jay and Berke in flight
Hate came without "stability and competence"
And the resistance came without a permit
If I think how will dawn;
Can I see the morning light?
Then the unrest will consume me,
I'll be sick then.
If I think tomorrow I may die;
Then my dreams will die,
I will be older from my mind,
Frustration and depression will eat me up.
Can people live without dreams?
Allow me to bathe in the sun's light,
Let me touch all the stars in the sky,
Allow me gently to tell you, 'I love you'.
Allow me to stay in my room,
Let me feel the sounds of the nonstop raining,
I really love you and could you hear me?
Allow me to roam around so that I can breathe freely.
Let me put the autumn breeze on my body,
Nock at my door loudly,
Let your words burst in the sky,
I'm waiting for you over the ages.
Kermit Left Cold Permit
An actor who was named Froggy Kermit
Wanted to live in silence like hermit
Till wife called him old
He told her she’s cold
Kermit just croaked her an ill cold permit

Hey no ifs ands or buts about it
problems come from a bottomless pit
Chicken roasts and all
the roots of your fall
My Sullivan needs a work permit
Deliver me into the arms of the one
That has renewed my hearts life
My life’s now begun
Let me gaze upon her beautiful eyes
As they see me completely
Accept no surprise
Let me know the scent of her skin
As the air provides it lift
To my nose, there within
Let me hear her words softly in my ears
As her breath enters my world
Releasing my fears
Let me know then, the wetness of a kiss
As her lips press on mine
No better than this
Let me know her in a most loving way
Where two hearts are one
Rising at day
