Nobody Knows

Nobody knows
Who we are,
Where we're going to,
What we're doing here
And why..

We have to go..
We have to go
And change our way of life.

We have to be like the Angels
In everything we do,
In everything we think.

We have to live in peace..

We are like a brick wall
They keep on crashing
Their heads onto.

If they go,
You go,
We go.

If they go..

For another dear lady . . .


My Boundaries


What are the boundaries of this sea?
I seek the distant shore.
Created In my memory,
I hear no breakers' roar.

A steady breeze to fill my sails,
is all I ask of you.
To speed me to my destiny,
with sky, forever blue.

But, dreams I have, including you,
might have a darkened cloud?
No wind can come from crystal sky,
nor whisper, from a crowd.

The boundaries I seek, you say,
are just within . . . to form, your way.

Man Is Five

Right..
Stuck right in front of you,

Left ..
For no reason.

Both sides are happy..
And if that's the price..
I'll be happy to take it.

And I ain't not falling in love
With you, baby.

I can't wait any longer..

If you believe in something good,
It can happen today..

Earth is like outer space,
Where I came from..

If you believe in something good,
It can happen today..

We'd never have the chance again.
No sign of contact,
Now our hearts are
Lost forever..

And now I'm talking sweet
'bout nothin'.

I'll take the bus to your heart, baby
And God will be closeby..

If you go, I would surely die,

Right..
For no reason.

The picture of you

Left..
In the darkest corners
Of my room.

As freedom blows,
Our minds succeed
Into the non-existing
Corners of our Multiverse.

All sides are happy..
And I ain't not falling in love
With you, baby.

Some songs from above,
Some songs from below..

I've had enough of this ruckus..

Wallpaper People


Wallpaper people
in driverless cars,
twittering nonsense
that doesn't go far.

TV in sports bars,
sans captions, of course.
Can't be distracted
by show-boat discourse.

Sportscasts are truthful,
as people demand.
All else discounted,
as being too bland.

Driverless people.
Sans captions, of course.

Shadows and Light


Shadows and light --
L. da Vinci's
prescription
for depth.

And,
that's what
most people strive for --
depth.

But, many don't want
the shadows.
Just life,
lite.

A song about our very own Rocky's Cafe, still working on the arrangements and the music.. The song will be on my 8th album, which will be recorded the end of April.

ROCKY's CAFE

Went into Rocky's today,
With the two Bobcats.
We had a beer by the fireplace.

The sun shone today,
Everybody seemed happy.
I ask Mike for the usual,
The usual is coming up, he says.

Yeah the place to be,
Friends to meet,
Good stuff to eat.
Everybody's got a seat
In Rocky's Cafe.

Right, said Bob,
Bob and I, we'll have
The usual as well.
Coming up, says Mike.

You kinda have an empty look
On your face there, Bob.
Is that right, Bob?
I was trying to catch your eye,
I couldn't find it..

Yeah the place to be,
Friends to meet,
Good stuff to eat.
Everybody's got a seat
In Rocky's Cafe.

Rocky's has them Bobcats, you know,
And them Koala bears, always right on time
With your drink, especially that #7.

Yeah the place to be,
Friends to meet,
Good stuff to eat.
Everybody's got a seat
In Rocky's Cafe.

I wave at Annie by the window,
Her son is doing much better.
Long time we've seen Uli,
She lives in the States,
The United ones of America.

Yeah the place to be,
Friends to meet,
Good stuff to eat.
Everybody's got a seat
In Rocky's Cafe.

Hey Bob, you're from California, right?
Have you heard from Uli?
Yeah, I talked to her on the phone yesterday..

Yeah the place to be,
Friends to meet,
Good stuff to eat.
Everybody's got a seat
In Rocky's Cafe.

The Meaning of Life


The meaning of life,
is a very serious subject.

It has to be --
it's played out

on a three-dimensional pool table.

Be Baby Be

Going on up that road,
Where trouble finds its peace.

Where the rainbow tells you,
The colours of everything that be.

Be Baby Be
Be Baby Be

Is what the road is telling you.
Going up, washing all the troubles away,
Up below and down above.
Rolling up and down, round and round,
Into the wheel, the circle of life.

That's what I'm telling you,
What the rainbow tells you,
What the stars tell you.
The colours of everything that be.

Be Baby Be
Be Baby Be
Be my Baby
Oh Be

And go on, up that road,
Where trouble finds its peace,
Is what the rainbow is telling you,
What the stars are telling you,
I'm telling you.

Be Baby Be
Be Baby Be

The colours of everything will be.
My Baby will be.

Be Baby Be
Be Baby Be
Baby Be
Baby Be

Hockey fans' anguish . . . plus some memories, thrown in, for good measure --


Road-Side Humor


I sat me down,
as did, you, too.
The sofa, worn,
the Bruins, too.

But, hands, we held,
to keep me warm --
and hoped the Bruins
returned to form.

Triple 777

Alright, let's do it...
On the triple 777.

Take a sip from my special wine,
On the double A,
Thinking Triple 777.

The capo slides to the fifth fret
And the tones fly high
To the Triple 777.

They dream it,
They do it,
They do the sound,
Flying high up Venus'
Illusionary mirages
Of colonized monopolies.

On the double A,
Thinking Triple 777.

We dream it
We do it
Alright..... alright

On the triple 777.... On the Triple 777

Take five out of the Book Of Love,
Take five and Be Love,
On the triple 777,
Alright, let's do it...

Wohow wow wow

On the double A,
Thinking Triple 777.

I dream it
I do it
On the Triple 777.

My Friend

The wind was rolling
Down the clouds.

A breeze left behind
A blessed mind.

To the stranger in the street,
I find my friend in need.

His hat covered his eyes,
Kept away from sight.

The bird in the sky
Found his friend indeed.

The wind was rolling
Down the riverbank.

The water reflected
The stranger's sight.

He told me everything was alright
But the wind told me otherwise.

The story was well-known
In each Joe, Love had grown.

The breeze left behind
A desert angel.

To the stranger in the sky,
I found my friend indeed.

In the eye of the beholder,
The stranger in the street.

And the wind kept on rolling
Down his eyes,

Where it hit the street,
With all its might.

He was the new grown seed,
Not ready to be sowed.

He was my friend in need,
My friend indeed.

He told me Love heals everything
And the wind was about to sing,

Sing a song for my friend in need,
My friend indeed.

To The Lord Of All Creations

To the Lord of all creations.
I thank Thee for Thy trust
In us, humankind.

I thank Thee for fighting
The monsters with me.

I thank Thee for all
The insights You have given me.

I thank Thee for keeping
That demon away,
That demon, with reasons
That crucify your mind.

I thank Thee for thy patience.
I thank Thee for helping me..

You are precious, dear Lord.
Make us strong,
Make us strong as the soldiers
In your army of righteousness.

I thank Thee Lord,
For all the blessings
you have given me,
For all the good friends
That crossed my path.

To the Lord of all creations.
We trust Thee with all our hearts.
We follow the path you have chosen for us,
With the perfection that is Thee.

We breathe the love that is Thee.
We breathe the life that is Thee..

Here is an environment we might pray to the Lord, to soften:


Commuter Time


Outta my way,
I'm making bread.
If you don't move,
I'll leave you dead.

Don't tread on me --
I'll tread on you.
First come, first served,
Is now thee rule.

Faster, faster,
Is the game.
Up the pace,
But, feel no pain.

Puff a joint,
Rich, the point.

A Journey
Into Infinite Smallness


Smaller, and smaller . . .
Outside the hull of our ship,
the dimensions shrank
beyond comprehension.

Inside, we seemed
to be unaffected.

Finally,
we could hear music
from far away.

After becoming exquisitely smaller,
our environment
suddenly transformed
into normal size,
once again . . .

And,
the music became
painfully beautiful.
