SONG POEMS

GET SERIOUS WOOD IS BURNING

Wood is burning

Small logs slow

Soft smoke whispers

What’s an Indian fire yo

A fire you can talk with

Reach across and reach back

Save sparse wood with

Look around and sit close

Wood is burning

Large logs fast

Hard smoke screams

What’s a white mans fire yo

A fire you must talk back from

Reach nowhere to close too

Feed hungry and noisy

Look around for wood too

Wood is burning

But only wood is true

A knot in its lifetime

Tells a story to you

Wood is burning

Woods burning

Wood is burning

Woods 

BEFORE THEY WERE AFTER

Before they were after

And in a strange place

They woke up no sooner

And left not a trace

Love in the morning

Light in the afternoon

Days all turn to nighttime

Nighttime turns to love

After they were before

And in the same place

They slept no sooner

And left not a trace

Love turns to morning

Day turns to night

Night needs the light

Put your love to sleep

Before the night

After the day

Time turns to love

Sleep loves you.

DON’T TOUCH THE FIRE 

Don’t touch the fire

It way to hot

It burn you up

But stand real close

It warm you up

It feel Alright

A the fire is bright so

We dance in the night

Don’t touch the fire

I sit close by

I warm my bones

But add another log

Spend a little time

Spend a hot night

Don’t touch the fire

It way to hot

It hurt you bad

But dance a little closer

I warm you up

It feel alright

We dance through the night

A the fire is just right

A the fire is bright so

We dance into the light…

Don’t touch the fire.

PAINT YOUR HOUSE

Driving down a slick street

Houses in rows so neat

Painted so brilliantly

when I see the sky so blue

Look at your home at you

Driving around a corner

Houses stare in disrepair

Needing paint so desperately

When I see the sky so blue

Look at your home at you

Sighs fill the air oh know

You ought a paint your house

Cause it’s like smiling at me

So come on and let it show 

When I see the sky so blue

Look at your home at you

AWAY

I THOUGHT I WOULD

HAVE IT ALL

IF AND WHEN

YOU GIVE YOURSELF

TOO ME

BUT I SEE YOU WALKING

AWAY

MY BRAIN IS TALKING

AWAY

IF ONLY I COULD FIND

AWAY

NOW YOU LEAVE ME HERE

IT’S A ACHEY FEELING

MY BODY IS REELING

AWAY

AWAY

REPEAT:

WITHOUT YOU

Just the other night 

I was reaching out for you

I tried to call your name

Just the other day

I was walking along  blue

It has been so long  without you

Just the other night

I began to again grasp you

I remembered your name

Just the other day

I was crying   I’m blue

Its been so long  without you

Without you  Without you

I have no reach or grasp

I have no color but  Blue

I can only recall the name 

Without you  Without you

RIGHT NOW DID

Today is the first day,

Tomorrow is the last.

Yesterday doesn’t matter,

So right now did.

Yeah I’m talkin’ about,

All those times you’ve seen,

All those days since then,

Yeah right now did.

For sure I imagine;

You I know do too;

‘Cause I’m dreaming of you

Or right now did.

1/4 heart club

BREAK MY HEART IF YOU WANT TOO

BUT YOU WONT GET HALF CAUSE HALF IS

ALREADY GONE HALF IS ALREADY GONE

FEATHERS DON’T FLY BIRDS DON'T LEAVE

WITHOUT EM I CRY NO TEARS I CANT SEE

WITHOUT EM AND I CANT TELL LIES

LOOKS LIKE I’LL BE JOINING THE ONE-

QUARTER HEART CLUB LOOKS MAYBE LIKE

BABY YOU’LL BE JOINING UP TOO SO

BREAK MY HEART IF YOU WANT TOO

BUT YOU WONT GET HALF CAUSE HALF IS 

ALREADY GONE HALF IS ALREADY GONE

GO ONE WAY

Sometimes I do it at night

When there is no light

It’s hard to see right

And I thought I just might

Sometimes I do it all day

Just keep going one way

Come with me what you say

Would you like to see me all day

Never when there is no dark

Do you believe in Noahs ark

Why does it rain in your park

Have you been there in the dark

Never have been there at night

When you are the only light

Can be hard to see right

And I thought I just might

Lets keep going one way

If we can’t see to play

We’ll shine our lights all day

Come with me what you say

Sometimes I do it all night

Sometimes I do it all day

It’s such a luminous feeling

When you just go one way

Sometimes I get left in the dark

I think I missed my ride on the ark

Why am I lost in the park

Must be this rain in the dark

It’s hard to go just one way

SCHRATNELS OF TIME

Schratnels of time

Explode outward

From the center

Of your mind

The middle of time

Is all that is

Left behind

There you find yourself

At the spherical center

Of your perception

PERCEPTION…

Schratnels of time

Expand outward

Like little splinters

Of your mind

WINTERTIME

Take it

Take the cold

The breezes blow

Wintertime

Is a long time

Is a time

In your mind

Can you make it

Take it

Take the cold

The breezes blow

Through your mind

Wintertime

Is a long time

Are you alone?

It’s a long time

In your mind

You’ll always be

Alone 

Alone with the heat

Of only your soul

Can you take a cold mind

Wintertime

WHAT YOU CAN DO

AHHH  AHHHH. AHHH  AHHHH

OH O  O  O

OH O  O  O   ooo

OH.               Oooooo

Oh   O  Oh  Oo  I said I KNOW YOU

I used to know you

But you left me

You left me sitting here

With nowhere to go o o o

BABY baby  

I don’t know Oh o o o   anymore. 

What am I gonna do

I can’t get over you

Oh O O O  o o o    oooo

BABY

I CAN’T GET OVER YOU

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

I’M SO LAZY

OH Won’t you come home my baby?

I NEED YOU

And what you can do

I don’t mean maybe

BABY

I can’t get going

But I’m trying

Gonna get up

I’m fadin

CONTRARY

Everyone has one

One of those nights

When the music is loud

But it isn’t quite right

And you can’t turn it off

Off forgot it won’t help

‘Cause it ain’t the music/mousa

It’s you needs the help

Though you’re not to blame

Blame’s just unnecessary

It’s just one of those nights

When you feel contrary
