'cos all flowers both big and blue
deserve somebody as scary as you
take to the race
and never delay
for the big green cup holder
is coming your way.
You are a forest fire
big, handsome and blue
cheers cheers they all cried
when the lemonade disolves
who will call your name
in the cave of surender
pick up your keyboard
the ghoul will take shelter
ashes and graves will fly in the sky
the day of large ribbons will beckon once more
your name is don grandio
let's play indoors.
One day when you open the door
the face will remember your old coat
never was he a dwarf or a man in a spacesuit
we know the games we know the default
we know the six spells on the waterfront
he once knows who he is but she never calls
it is the knight of plenty
holding cardboard memoirs of your forgotten past
drenched in koolaid and asking for forgiveness
you will shroud your large membership base
and take after the sky to forget and forgive your namesake
i am the one who was once you
climbing in the sky of everlasting blue seals
he is the one who hath taken the word
like a book which burns
over! over! they beg but he dares not stop for the twiring grows closer
we will take the number they scream... pathological brilliance!
asking for magazines in a circle of lies
is this the cart which you asked in.. that is to say you win
winning is the cloud which we hold onto when we sing.
Daugher of silver moon
she has two bells
one blue one green one always ringing
Increase the ammount the town lord says
never will they compute the dreaded toll for which we had once asked.

... hmmmmm...
... i'll play...
-
vagabond thinklings
-
these
are every single one that said you love me
please
don't ask what i did to the one's that said you don't
those
that would lie to the face of truth
would pollute beauty
lose
a place in my heart with the ones who won't
these
i send to you to tell you that i love you
please
remember they've already proven they don't lie
-
i could walk away
disappear
and not be missed
pour out all my love
strip my soul
and not be kissed
gone for seven days
times seven
and not be sought
purify myself
prove my worth
and not be bought
-
i don't want to be reliable
don't want to be predictable
i want to be just what you see
just not looked on mistakenly
alas, your view must be slanted
you have taken me for granted
-
should i seek communion with the spirits of the trees
or talk to jesus on my knees
will i be this way again in a different skin
or suffer the wages of sin
spend quiet times floating, flying on a silver thread
or by love alone never be dead
i must confess that i don't really know
does anyone really know
-
and to part...
one day soon
this soul will be unstrung
freed of the ruin
this place has become
you'll look for me
only to wonder "where"
at haunts i used to be
when my spirit is not there
when you can't rely
on the constancy you had in me
will you wonder "why"
or accept it knowingly
i locked the cuff
and kept myself still
when i waited enough
i changed my will
unstrung my soul
unstrung my soul
be well.
laeth

White as snow, black as pain.
Are the eyes in my head.
White as joy, black as regret.
The world is known through this double agent.
I see the smiles of children,
And the scars they hide.
I see the hope of a widow,
And that at night she cries.
White as snow, black as pain.
Is the method by which I see the rainbow.
And know your promises hold fast.
And those of others won’t last.
White as snow, black as pain.
Is that by which I craft beauty for your glory.
Is that by which I know the star light.
Is that by which I see your hand.
White as snow, black as pain.
Is what leads me down my path of shame.
Is what lets forth these torrents of tears.
Is what I would pluck out if only I could!
White as snow, black as pain.
They will be with me all the days I tread this earth.
I await for the days I tread new shores unseen.
The day when all will be white,
The day that I see clearly.

Relationships are like a pack of cards,
A heart for love,
A diamond for a wedding ring,
A club to smack her around the head,
A spade to bury the bitch
|

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Unchained Heart
For years I was honored bound to you
What was, what could have been
The ghost of our past haunted me, like a shadow
I yearned for you, and perhaps what may never have been
Love, so elusive, yet eternal
Now as I mourn the passing of that love
I feel the release of the pain in my soul
I know it could never be, my love was not returned
But I look toward the shining future, filled with hope
For I know I will love again one day
And it will be returned
All the days of my life.

I laid eyes upon you and my heart was smitten.
Without your warming touch my soul grows frost bitten.
Now please remove your skirt so I may play with your kitten.

Large whales swim with me
I am a whale I am a whale
celebrate celebrate the monkey is here
who said who is not worthy
let me buy you a beer
Whale Whale the fish of the sea
he is grand and tall
and drinks no tea
the whale will destroy you
like it or not
I am a whale so you will bear it while the whale makes his evil grand escape.
Did you know children of whales are dolphins?
and children of dolphins are whales?
who is a dolphin and who is a whale
woe woe me what a tale
i am a dolphin
i am a whale
sink into this apple and gaze and the maze
you willl take the final size. i love you.

I am horny.
I am erect.
I am thrusting.
I am sweating.
I am a unicorn in a race, preparing to jump over a hurdle.
