To be or not be, that's kinda silly
You are or you aren't, a dude or a filly
No mistaking this dude
Ladies I do woo
A yummy specimen of peace and tranquility...

A girl ate a hat, what a thrill,
Mistaking it for her contraceptive pill.
In her moment of haste,
A hat she did taste,
Now she's throwing up,  her tummy's bloated still!...

Thank you for the guilt
you planted in me
for making me worry
for what I never did
for mistaking my intentions
and make me plead
for stealing my confidence
and my peace...

My

My back is breaking.
My heart is aching.

Everyone thinks I am faking.
BUT I am not mistaking.

My whole world is awaiting.
While I am hesitating.

Nothing to be debating....

Well here and now, I'm gonna come clean
There'll be no mistaking exactly what I mean
I love the young ladies
Though I'm in my eighties
Waiting to do battle with my anxious submarine

When you give to another
  you take the greater reward
Give whatever you can
  as much as you can afford

Seek opportunities for giving
  They're yours for the taking
You'll see what you've been missing
  On that, there's no mistaking...

A COLD AND NUMBING WIND

BLEW ALONG MY SPINE

A HOARD OF IMPRESSIONS 

FLOODED MY MIND

THERE WAS NO MISTAKING 

THE SENSATION

I SAW CLEARLY IT WAS A THING

OF INDESCRIBABLE CREATION

SO……

I RESISTED DISCOVERY SUCCESSFULLY!...

LOW MAINTENANCE
ABSENT MINDED
NO PATIENCE
COMPLEX AND BASIC
DON'T SEE ME 
UNLESS YOU NEED ME 
I CAN TAKE IT 
THEY HURT YOU 
THEY FIGHT ME 
THERE'S NO MISTAKING
I NEED YOU TO LOVE ME 
I'VE BEEN FORSAKEN 
YOUR SECRETS 
MY SOUL 
CALL ME CRAZY...

Irritable bowel syndrome
When you have it
There is no mistaking it 
For anything else.


Irritable bowel syndrome
Makes you realign 
Your fantasies dreams and purpose.


Irritable bowel syndrome
Not welcome in the world of work
Or anywhere else...

He who gives to another
       takes the greater reward
     Give whatever you can
       a poor man a snub can't afford

     Seek opportunities for giving
       They're yours for the taking
     One kindness leads to another
       ~ There's no mistaking...

Magical Glasses looking within these lenses
 That glares through these hidden shadows.

Scenarios of traps, mistaking fantasy, illusion 
Selfishness eluded by compulsion yet gracefulness 
and mercifulnedd intervene these cloudiness of
these Magical Glasses....

One day I got scared, having grabbed a snake that was sleeping in the grass, mistaking it for a motley rope. One day I was frightened of a motley rope, which was lying in the grass, thinking it was a snake. 

I was wrong both times
unreal things misled me
only fear was real...

What is that mama?
Sun was in mama’s eyes but there was no mistaking the polka dots.
It was a leopard, about thirty foot off the ground slumbering in a tree.
Mama lifted her child off the ground and signaled for silence.
Tiptoeing her away from imminent danger.
Glad they had made an escape....

We've learned what our statesmen seek to achieve:
Thinking we'd believe all that we receive.
We perceive each view and trick up their sleeve,
These elegant thieves, who try to deceive.
Mistaking our peeves, they call us naïve;
In lieu of reprieve - our sad hearts must grieve....

   drinking the water…
     … from his bath… 
   destroying whatever’s…  
     … in his path…

   mistaking the floor
     … for the loo…
   whatever’s a parent
     … to do?!... 

   With this advice you’ll agree …
      what’s more, it is free …
   … tell your terrible two
          …to turn three

Produce flaw-make it show
I did not know the pinch.
Watch grow-less than absent: six pounds toward water,
mistaking me for the warmth of mothers.
Comfort swims obtuse-long running privilege and fathers.
May June daughters toss back hands with laughter.
If nothing matters I'm the complete backwards of notice to compare....

I Flew in the Afternoon Skies
Looking for North Star.
I Swam across the Oceans
Mistaking Submarines for Whales.

I Followed a Random Road,
To a Dead End.
I Ran through the Woods,
Looking for an Iceberg.

And Today, I Realised..
I'm Lost, All My Life.
Chasing the Wrong Things at 
Wrong Time and Inappropriate Places....

i feel your warmth in my heart
i only feel warm when you are close though
right now your no where to be seen
are you near by? or is this something else?

not just passing by
in my tear stained dreams...
