I stole a line

We were talking about the places

Where some of us have been and some have not

And what our world could be

We were talking about balance

Peace and the Black condition

We were talking about dreams and about theft

We were talking about Dostoievski and life’s miseries and tragedies

Did we laugh?

Oh not enough!

What do you want what do you need

When you come undone

Walking away

They were living together in the land of the sea

And the land of the sea drifted away

They were miles apart

and miles away

Walking together walking away

My baby crane

My baby crane has gone by

Baby cranes hit the cray

Slow down the fav

And walk away

My baby crane has gone by

I’ll miss him all led astray

Fored
 

Roads and Rivers flow

And I can’t find my way

Babies crying, babies dying?

I am contemplating

Between sad and numb

Feeling and observing

Maybe I’m not a great poet

Maybe I’m not a great artist

Maybe I can start being honest with myself at once.

I remember a man so sensitive

It feels like another life

We would talk about the world

About religion and about myths - how to make it better

We would talk about a world that seems to have even left people’s imagination

That is how gone it is

Tormented homie

You tormented homie…

I never understood your enigma

And you’re not a problem to analyze

I hope you know there

Will be brighter days

The past don’t reproduce…

Everything can be different now…

It’s only a matter of time

Silicon rainbow

Today I walked and I bathed

Through the sun and through the glass

My eyes were shining

Like silicon rainbow

After sunset

Too much sunshine

Too much sunset

For my poor eyes

Flashing by

Too much sunburns

and cigarette burns

From the hill

And from the ride

Tonight

Good mourning?

So if you don’t want to be with me so I understand

As the wind drives

Flashing down my ears

And sudden memories with no beginnings

Wrap their fingers around my wrists

So yes I understand

Not without you

I sabotaged on purpose coz how could I let you go

Share this song around you and remind them of what you do

No no I don’t really have the voice

No no not without you not without you

No no I don’t really have a voice

But baby baby can’t you see

It is the time of our destiny

Can I prove you right

Oh can I prove you well

When there’s a heart at stake

Oh can I prove you well

Baby baby oh won’t you stay with me

Maybe hunny we’ll go together one day

But baby baby oh don’t you see

Now is the time of our destiny

Baby baby oh won’t you stay with me

Baby baby coz this is the time of our destiny

Doodoo dood doobeedoobeedoo

Woohoo woohoo doobeedoobeedoo

Woohoo woohoo oobeedoo

Woohoo woohoo oh doobeedoo

Why do we keep our hearts from falling

It didn’t happen it didn’t hapenn

Why do we keep our hearts from falling

It didn’t happen no no it didn’t happen

Endless nights

Endless nights

Like I couldn’t remember it could be

What is the future holding

I don’t know…

I feel myself better although it hurts

And I feel myself better although it hurts

And as I write I ground myself better although it hurts

My brain in these days is my very best friend

Helping me understand…

Another stolen line

We were talking of…

What were we talking about?

We were talking of…

We were talking of…

We were talking of…

The painting on the wall detaching, wind and storm I see

Oh windy it’s all so windy

I want to feel it surfacing

Let it all come up and surface…

Poem

The river flows down

And the alley is ridden by pussycats

Where do I look, where do I go?

I gently

walk

slow

I'm too cold

Why am I too cold

Why am I so cold

I am too cold

I envy those women and those people who have this warmth in them that I don’t have

I lost the love of my life

I am devastated

I lost at this game called love

And I wish I were with you

And how do I always forget all the. harm you do to me

Because my love for you

Like a brother

Tu ne peux pas accélérer l’art et l’amour.

Tu ne peux pas accélérer le temps.

You can’t accelerate art and love.

You can’t accelerate time.

I don’t know what to say or to believe

For I know they are doomed

Is my body not at peace

For I know time lost

For the magic of time

For I don’t know what to say or to believe

For Life is full of mysteries

And I am very tired

For tomorrow is another day

For who am I to tell the mystery

For what is it that makes 2+2

And what is it that sands the land

For fortune and fortunate don’t sound the same

And immaturity takes many given names

For my road again lonely

Yet this time my cross I bear happy

For tomorrow may be another day

And I don’t know that 2+2 makes 4

For lonely and lonesome the people

And yet and yet

Oh he lay his eyes on me

Oh I lay my eyes on him

Desert to island to draught to waves

And the navy and the air force and ground forces

And the sergents and referents

References referenced and

Extraordinary circumstances

How did we get there

Where do we go from there

How did we get there

Where do we go from there

How did we get there

Where do we go from there
