The wind
Sudden bluster
Lever, balance, employ
Changing direction without thought
Pull-down...

Trick or treat
Smell my feet
Given me something good to eat

If you don’t
I don’t care
I’ll pull down your underwear

You complained, “Don’t come over today -
My throat’s sore, I’m tired, and achy.”
So why are you nude,
In bed with some dude?
If you’re going to lie, pull down the shades!...

Giraffes can grow up to eighteen feet tall
So pull down your shades, they can watch it all
The stripping, the foreplay
Super heroes you portray
Like Spideyman or a handsome neanderthal...

Ask me to fight the devils, 
Ask me to jump in a crater,
Ask me to pull down a mountain,
All are just possible, yet,
When i look in her sparkling eyes, her majestic body,
I then realize that i am just a man made of paper....

Phyllis Upman was a young maid
When she learnt the rules of her trade:
Show men what they want
Behave nonchalant
And be sure to pull down the shade! 

n.b.  Window shopping in 
Amsterdam is a more popular
tourist attraction than tulips ...

SEPARATE ME FROM THE LIVING 
FIND THE WORDS TO MAKE ME BETTER
WAITING BY THE BEDSIDE OF TODAYS DEATH
THINKING THAT IM OK
WITH THE SELF MEDICATED HAPPINESS
THE PLAIN SMILE THAT I SHOW
PULL DOWN THE MASK OF YESTERDAY
AND LET IT ALL GO
BY JOSHUA LLOYD...

After the wind stops blowing

We will pull down the shades

The thunder rumbles past our yellow, one story apartment.

Standing close to the foamy shores

I can hear the newscaster murmur its warnings of another flash flood watch.

I adjust my headphones, picking up a Vogue to pass the time....

Treasure the heart, desire the flesh
Gallantry and sin, deeply enmeshed
A man can be both knave and knight
Take what he wants, yet do what is right
Pull down the stars to weave in your hair
Stave off the light to keep you ensnared
Battle your demons, yet relish his own
The heart of a man is a depth unknown...

Come in from the darkness
let me wipe away your tears
pull down your hair let me hold you near
my love open your heart let your desire shine
lay with me we have all night
speak to me, we don't need to touch 
my heart is  beating, with such lust
my love believe in me, trust your inner and together my love we can become one.....

We sit and meet in the shadows..
Exchanging thoughts not shallow..
Real desires that can't abstain..
Like small candles who's fire rains..
As the wax drips it clings to our sounds..
With a silence of whispers we crawl till we're found..
When the darkness is empty and voices fade..
We drift into madness and pull down the shades.....

In darkness I sleep
A photoplay of dreams
Shards of light wakes me
To virgin sunbeams

Reluctantly I rise
And pull down the shades
Head hits the pillow
All consciousness fades

Momentary blindness
Dreams reappear
Short time elapsed
Seems like a year

A new day dawns
Feeling so rotten
Try as I may
All dreams forgotten...

Take a spoon and stir the air
  What pollutants do you find there

Your fence is rotting, pull out a stake
  Now it's got a huge toothache

Pull down a rake and comb your lawn
  Which side is the part on

In your sidewalk, count the cracks
  Step in one, get dog-doo back

Climb your steps and ring the bell
  It's out-of-order, what the hell...

Them Marrying Kind
They are NEVER hard to find
For One after the Other is Always behind
As if they NEED Each other's presence to unwind
Romancing in Public, doing whatever comes to mind
The kind of stuff, to which We would pull down the blind
Like they can't wait to get HOME, for a lil' 'bump n' grind'
But, that's how They are,  Them Marrying Kind...

How many walls I built,
And I got stuck inside them
All alone

How many walls I built.
Slowly brick by brick.
I closed the way to the light. 

Try to destroy them,
to escape from darkness 
But I'm too late 

In the dark inside the walls,
Sad but hopeful,
I need some sunshine. 

How strange 
Now I wish for a catastrophe 
To pull down the walls....

Patience


Patience, virtue of life,
   precious gift to bestow,
      permits willingness to
         prepare to wait in cool,
            perpetual calm, since
               pressure, fretful words
                  pull down goals and spirit.

Hard thoughts can't melt like chocolate 
Abiding by the rigid rules of the roulette
Pull down the ugly posters of mockery
Pour a sparkling glass of genuine irony
Illogical how frivolous minds can change
Nonsense to credibility inverting image
Encompassing the brain's viral intellect
Singling out the fallacy of insidious protest
Simply reconsidering another happy quest...

Longing for your simple touch
 upon my lonesome skin.
To have you near me
 I would even sin.
What could I do
 to win your tender love?
Would you have me
 pull down heaven from above?
For you're the only one
 that sets my heart on fire.
The love of my life...
 this souls one desire.
So tell me now
 what I need to do
To satisfy this heart
 which is in love with you....

Someone’s at the door, banging away
With each thud, I wish to scream out and say
Help me please, do not leave, stay
My lip quivers in fear, as on my bed, I lay
They are all gone, gone, faraway
The bangs stop, leaving a timber spray
My chilling blood freezes my vein, hardened like clay
I pull down my sheet and open my eyes after a final pray
The figure stood above me, “Spare me” I say...

Dan lost a finger and an ear
Going to the Doc he didn't linger
He never saw the ear again
But a girl gave him the finger!

Dan just could not believe his luck
When one day an ear was donated
The surgeon he hired was dyslectic 
But Dan was still very elated

The dyslectic surgeon sewed it on
On his butt it ended up laying
Now he has to pull down his pants
Just to hear what you are saying!...

I wish I didn't have to lie
I wish I could say I'm okay 
And it would be the truth
Or I could pour out my heart
And not receive judgmental stares
But instead I hide behind a smile
I pull down my long sleeves
I tell people I'm alright
I project an image of a happy person 
I act like nothing's wrong with me
But really, everything is wrong
I'm dying inside
But nobody knows
Because my life is a lie...

sitting on the highway
with nothing more to do
except to pull down the sun visor
so that i could look at you

it's almost like your here
you look at me and smile
your poses for pictures
for images frozen it time

if i use my imagination
we could have a conversation
and talk about the things
on our minds

yes, you make me happy
as happy as i can be
just by looking at your picture
and your smile...
