The President's New Clothes


The President is wearing
new clothes --

designed, especially,
for him.

Only those unfit for their positions,
incompetent, or stupid,

could see the attire's deficiencies.

*

Only so-called weavers
could have tailored

such attire.

Self-Advice


Don't assume
how the music should develop.

Just play the notes,
as they're written --
whether someone else's,
or, your own.

To Protect the Country,
I'll not be Questioned


"To protect the country"
covers many topics.
That should make it easy
for me to govern --

I'll not be questioned
on any EO I issue,
by either the Legislative or Judicial
branches of government,

or, by the press,

or even, by the American citizenry.

It'll be for their own protection.

Don't question me!
I know what's best for the United States of America,
and the world!

How is it possible to change from a heavy political scene? You know the answer --
just try reading the heart's desires of a lady-friend!


My Heart's Desires


There are some things,
which I'd hold dear --
Things, that my heart desires.

Precious, that I'd hold quite near,
from which, I'd never tire.

My life, thus far,
has jilted me --
Reward, at rainbow's end.

There's love, which comes for free,
though money has no end.

How long, endure,
for me, my life --
Awaiting gentle shove,

Towards that of happy wife,
who'll take a chance, on love.

A Lift, for Julie D.


Down in the dumps,

You know the solution --

Charles Dickens


History, does, repeat itself,
Mr. Dickens.

If you are ever permitted
to review the years --
if not, ages --
since you passed away,

perhaps you'll read our laments
on how a man can still
possess enough selfishness in himself,
that he could watch another person die,
for not having a crust of bread to eat --

and not offer him a loaf.

Will we ever be able to experience compassion?
Or, love?

To possess all --
and have nothing.

To give away everything --
and possess the world.

And, only God
is your witness.

Perspective


When lines start to rhyme,

When their rhythms
match that of the breaking waves on the seashore,

Or, complement the effortless
soft sequences of a suckling baby,

When new, relationships'
full potential
must remain unrealized,

Then, one finds that his own life
has, itself,
been realized --

And, true wisdom comes, from accepting it's concluding chapters.

Inside of me and giving me
Freedom to be.

Show me the truth.

Candyfloss

C’mon Johnny,
Come over here,
Come see the flowers
In my hair.

C’mon Johnny,
Come and feel,
Your love,
Around the world.

I hear your name
In my bleeding ears.
I see your face
In my mind.

I feel your touch,
When you’re not there.
You’re my candyfloss,
My candyfloss.

Oh you’re the air,
That sweetens my thoughts!

C’mon Johnny,
Come and see,
The real reason
I want to be.

C’mon Johnny,
Come over here,
Be my baby,
Be my lover..

I will give you the sugar
Of my heart.
I will give you the sweetness
Of my soul.
‘Cause you’re my candyfloss,
My candyfloss..

Liefde Maakt Sterker

Veel vijven en zessen,
Met die derden.

Hard zijn en graag zien, vinden we
In de ware dingen des levens.

In hogere sferen, vinden
We de lichtste wolken..

Jouw liefde is mijn liefde
En mijn liefde is jouw liefde.

Overal hetzelfde verdriet,
N.V. Verdriet.

Met de kap af
En de kop omhoog, want..

Mijn liefde is jouw liefde
En jouw liefde is mijn liefde.

Wat je niet doodt, maakt je sterker,
In de gelukkigste tijd van het jaar.

Liefde maakt sterker!

Met de kop omhoog,
En de voeten op de grond,

Vinden we elkaar in de
Wortels van onze toekomst.

Jouw liefde is mijn liefde
En mijn liefde is jouw liefde

Jouw liefde..
Mijn liefde..

A Horse in the Family


Giddyup! And off we went --
the old nag, with me on her back.
We were enjoying a good time of it,
just letting the breeze pass us by.

You were beside me,
on a magnificent stallion,
and patiently giving concern
for the enfolding drama.

How do you stop this animal,
I exclaimed?
Ha, ha, you replied.
Just pull back on the reins.

And, so I did.
It was a ride
I'll never forget --
with you.

Stolen Dance (thinking of you)

What else can I do, but
Sleeping all through the day,
While thinking of you.

I might as well be dreaming,
While thinking of you.

What else can I do, but
Thinking about you.

What else can I do,
But loving you and
Thinking of you.

Oh tell me baby
(I’m dying without you)

I’m only living, while I’m
Dreaming in my sleep.

I might as well be
Thinking of you,
In my dreams.

What else can I do,
But thinking of you.

While I’m awake,
without you.

But what else can I do
What else can I do..
What else can I do,

But thinking of you.
But thinking, about you.

Stardust We Are

Lots of you
Lots of me
Inside of us

Lots of people
Are roaming the world
And taking a look inside
The universe mirror.

A look inside.
A look inside..

Where the answer to
The sunshine lies.
Where the answer to
The sunshine lies.

Inside of all people,
Roaming the world,
And looking to see
What needs to be seen,
Hearing to hear
What needs to be heard.

Lots of her
Lots of him
Inside of us

She is waiting to give him
A sign, and letting him look
Inside of us..

Where the answer to
The moonshine lies.
Where the answer to
The moonshine lies.

She burns our skin with
Unintended rays of light.
Our skin inside,
Where the answer lies,
Where the answer lies..

Stardust, we are.
Stardust, we all are.

.... as could be written by a dear, lady-friend --


My Journey


A complex mind
that troubles me --
I seem to find
duplicity.

I want to live
a normal life --
as such, to give,
as loving wife.

But, no one cares
to hold my hand,
though shyness bared,
by caring man.

Yet, loneliness --
my quest's address.

Waiting For Elvis

One morning you came
One morning you left
And broke my heart.

Can I have some glue?
Can I have some you?

The silence in my head
Is screaming to hear you.

I will keep the silence down,
Until you hear my call..

The air is filled
With my love for you-ooh.

Broken hearts of ours..
Can I have some glue?
Can I have some you?

One evening you came
One evening you went
And stole my broken heart.

It is with you now..
My broken heart is with you..

No more need for any glue,
You are the one that is true.

The joy in my head
Has driven away the silence,
That reminded me of my solitude.

One day you came
One day you stayed
And kept my heart.

It was yours,
For ever and a day.

The Universe Alone

As she was looking through the window,
With her eyes on you,
Trying to remember things
That made her think of you.

As she was moving through the living rooms,
With her eyes on the walls, Mary was counting.

She never knows what to think,
Looses the count of things.
When she looks at the numbers,
They are dancing in front of her eyes.

A new beginning..
7 world wonders are seen through
The telescopes of our hearts,
Beating on the blind side of life.

Their minds create dark energy,
That thing that’s blowing up our universe.

You really think you’re gonna be saved?

She never knows what to think,
And that’s a good sign.
Enough trees left to make her blow her mind,
And that’s a good sign.

Her dreams were in white..
The dreamer in my dreams,
Sat with the last three.
Tomorrow was one other day.

You’re Divine

You were mine last night
I was yours forever and to hold
You in my thoughts
You in my heart
And between my thighs
Where the absinth from
Our Abraham’s herb garden
Lead me straight to you
You’re divine
You’re mine
Forever and to hold
You in my dreams
You in my mind
You’re the light that
Makes my darkness disappear
Straight to you
I’ll fly straight to you, ‘cause
You’re divine
You’re mine
The sweetness of your skin
Tastes like cotton candy
Our lips find each other
In an endless kiss
That curves ‘round our souls,
Intertwined for you and me.
I was yours forever and to hold
You in my love
You in my life
You’re the road
That leads to infinite joy
Straight to you,
I’ll walk straight to you, ‘cause
You’re divine
You’re mine
Forever and to hold
Forever and to hold..
