love’s a sunny day • warm shelter from the rain a lonely little light ray • leaking true love’s a simple song • can we all sing along united in •one great bigº family love’s often confused • when tried hard we must choose between the misconstrued • and mis demeaned love love love love love love love love love love’s a summer day • a hammer hot as hades love ’s your favourite flavour • oF ice cream loving is a choice • a tremor in the voice your heart hoisted high • on 2 a beam love is the sun • shining from above love will always find U • in the end love love love love love love love love love love love love love • shining from above love they often say • will steal your heart away a blind eye turned • to face towards the sun a heart felt filled with shame • against a window pane the rain tapping • saying please love let me in love is a rose • the calming in the dose a baby sleeping • deep inside a dream an apple every day • 2 keep nightmares away make sure we all R safe • and sound asleep love love love love love love love love love love love love love • shining down on us love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love

when you gonna be - the dog that’s digging me - have you buried me forever like a bone
when ya gonna see - you can’t be wearing me the clothes you wanna wear - is not my own
where ya gonna run - the sun is beating down the ray gun set to stun - is burning holes
what ya gonna do - you’re hoping that the glue that stuck me tight to you - is gonna hold
when ya gonna care - it never has been fair - you always want a share in all this greed
what you’re needing now - is never what you want - you’re never wanting what you really need
who ya gonna trust - this gold gives such a rush - the drug will finally bring you to your knees
when you’re finally full – you’ll’ve traded in your soul - for something that ya coulda got for free
when ya gonna come – back to my heart babe - when you do - you’re gonna see - you’ll never be the person that you always say i am
when you gonna come - back to my heart babe – when you do - you’re gonna see - that i’m not you and you’re not me... more

she’s scared again as the thunder runs through her fingers
her thoughts are paranoid of sickness and serpents
the air is filled with so many poisons
her senses pretending to breathe it all in
the city is lonely, it takes her home
it surrounds her in all its concrete street strangers
her nerves string extensions without any endings
they reach out to nowhere they touch no one
she keeps all her dreams protected in plastic
the white picket fences guarding greener grass
she waits for the day to fade, the last parade, the wind to slow
for the wild blowing wishes that the dandelions have stolen X3

i’m so sad tonight, you’re leaving on the midnight train to Memphis, i’m out here crying with the rain, spent, ‘n’ penniless, the rain reminds me how we’ve been
i got ta stayed focused on the things that make me feel i’m breathing, forget that other stance that’s more appealing and get back on the track behind the train
homeless, hopeless with no reason for more potions to please appease these symptoms of love’s poisons, its perfumes left to linger when yer gone
i’m so so sorry that i never ever gave th-appreciation that they always well deserved for me to give them i hope this does not mean they’ll be forsaken
wait dear got one more thing to tell ya, so draw nearer, get a little closer to my good ear, let me whisper what i really feel

all i know right now love’s gonna make a fool of me
so tired of bending down • and begging her • please leave me be
but even though somehow • i’m dropped again • weak in the knees
i’m compromised 2 vow 2 C true love through faith fully
all i know right now • love’s gonna • make a fool of me
instead of falling down • i’m getting up again 2C
my heart so full of doubt • but brave•2bold•2B believed
i’m finally finding out • it’s not love’s fault • this we air we breathe (is LOVE)
all i know 4 now • you’re gonna make • a fool of me
safe and sound inside • a mother’s homemade recipe
if i’d made up my mind • by now my soul • would B set free
and floating from above • oh say i’d SAY(la C) • what i can C (with love)usa
all i know right now • love’s gonna • make a fool of me
from down here on my knees • my eyes can ‘t see • what i believe
the west has justice won • all change still chained to slavery
still focussed on desire while wandering round what really needs (our love)
all i know right now • love’s gonna • make a fool of me
she’s got me locked somehow • my head’s undone • without a key
my stomach’s up in knots • she cooks 4 me • but i don’t eat
in helping of my self •i think i’ll take 2• love sick leave
all i know right now •is i’m thinking about calling you
don’t know where you are • or whether you’re still feeling blue
i’m trying in my mind • remembering to forget how 2
instead i find a way • into your folded arms•a new (i’m missing you)
all i know right now • love’s gonna make a fool of me • she’s cut me off somehow • i’m turning blue • i gasp 2BREATHE • my heart is slowing down • 2KEEP PACE with this change in me

moaning bout - U
trying 2 find my way back home • from here 2 Timbuktu
set out on a journey • don’t really wanna do
weak unwilling • in2 the unknown
moaning bout - U
pacing back in 2 the past • 2 where we all once knew
a way into a future • with wide brighter eyes of blue
beginning in a second coming home
moaning bout - she...
is the apple of my eye • so blood shot i can’t see
blinded in the alley • wayward • wondering where i’d be
with out her • hungry hearted every day
moaning bout - U
blessings 2 the meek • and 2 the lame and stricken too
praying for the rain 2 wash away the awful truth
el salvador • won’t B returning soon
moaning bout - U
singing choirs of angels • knelt down • humbled by the view
eyes in envy opened wide • and focussed finely tuned
realizing • we’re all only passing through
Imoaning bout - me
feeling sorry for my former self • i’d seldom disagree
mourning for an other life • a longing wannabe
2B any body else • like brenda lee
moaning bout - U
moaning bout - U
i’ll moaning bout - U • from the top of this bell tower
i’ll be moaning bout - U

candy craving coloured candy sticky sickly

candy orange and yellowed corny tEEth
climbing up a hot tin roof of ginger breaded dreams
sweet dreams oF sugar plums and candied beets
peanut butter spreading me out thick
slices oF vegan cake
candy limping with my candy cane
in the rain craving something sweet
22 carden street • got 2 get my can-dy´
candy need to get some candy treat
grab the grape ape licorice sticks slippery
but so sweet • 22 carden st.

hey you, i find it hard to bleed for you - your blood is cold - and mine is wine
hey you, i guess you think you know me -you knew me for a while
hey you i tried so hard to see things through - the pink glass you supplied
hey you, i never really left you – you’re always on my mind
everyday i always think about you – at least a thousand times
i was always hoping you’d come to save me - it’s keeping me a live
i was always hoping for my baby to come and make me shine
hey you, i’ve walked with you a long way - along a jagged line
i could not change the day – my ways are always in the night
hey you, i guess i always knew - you never could be mine
i couldn’t care much less of ya (though) - i’d (still) climb through barbs and wire
hey you i’ll wait for you (‘cuz) i promised to - until you make me shine
hey you i’ll wait for you (‘cuz) i promised to - until you make me shine

AIN’T got TOO MANY SILVER DOLLARS IN THE BOTTOM OF MY CUP
i got enough to keep me busy though i’m down here on my luck
you’re always welcome southern comfort is the lap i’m licking up
i never even mind the praying much - one’s bound to fall in love
the road is long and ever winding hanging from a heavy sun
our hearts beat in (glory) heading forward fists pounding into one
can’t blink a second cause you’ll miss it - if you risk it
don’t risk it - don’t (U)dare to fall - don’t (U)dare to fall for love
there’s always someone slowly sifting through the pages of my life
faithful we keep on cleaning cages mocking changes star struck and striped
there’s all this talk of love as having that one big heart of gold
same old cliche still getting staler all (of) us (just) getting older
AIN’T got TOO MANY SILVER DOLLARS IN THE BOTTOM OF MY CUP
i got enough to keep me busy though i’m down here on my luck
you’re always welcome southern comfort is the lap i’m licking up
i never even mind the praying much one’s bound to fall in love

NEVER FOUND THE PERSON TO LOVE ENOUGH
BUT IT’S ENOUGH TO LOVE MYSELF FOR THE BOTH OF US
NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR ANY LESS - THE WORLD’S TOUGH TO LOVE ALONE
IF YA LOOK TO SEE WHAT’S IN FRONT OF US MORE OF THE SAME cold diamonds still holding in the rough
BUT IF YOU CAN GET YOUR WAY THROUGH THE DUST - YOU’LL SEE TO WHERE I WAIT FOR YOU

my love so longs for summer weather
bursting beams of warm light fill my cup
satisfied at length with life UP 2 the brim
the curious side of things still seeping in
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on you
to lose control to that your wishes should come true
my love is long and every lasting
longing with the winds that take the rains
my love lives strong and ever after
sleeping deep in dream’s realized landscape
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on you
i’m just a full 2 believe that your love can somehow be true 2
my love is long and everlasting
longing with the rocks worn by the waves
my love is fun fuck king fantastic
surviving all the slips of rough terrain
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on me
a fool in love is set to stun not 2 set YA free
my love races with the speed of light
reaching far and few across to u
hoping high with stars hanging up at night
turning with today back into blue
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on you
to lose control to that your wishes just might come true
my love is king at building castles
with walls tightening in pulling forth to reign
surrounding all that’s floating with such a heavy hand
keeps on calling out in sanely ‘bout some game
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on you
to lose control to that your wishes will be true
the morning is the bed i lay in (always late)
beside the one move summer shadows
inside the heart another blossom in the spring
hangs in wait to balance a hungry/hopeful flower
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on you
to lose control to that your wishes may BE true
my minds feels friendly as it’s weeping
tears of joy crying OUT in my brain
the meadow glistens dew to fuzzy buzzing things
the soul less taste every heavy evening craves
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on you
to lose control to that your wishes could come true
the one my mind is made up /on does not depend on you
to lose control to that your wishes will be true
my love lives sadly ever after
same old game begins to ebb and wane
my love is filled with song then laugher
the mood swingings of a ball and chain
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on you
to lose control to that your wishes should come true
the one my mind is made up on does not depend on me
to lose control into believing that truth can set U free
my love is longing like a river
flowing out of love in to the(heart) sea
my love winds(me) back to the beginning
ending the full circle where lovers meet
my love lies listless in the gutter
among many cartons of spilt milk
(got)soured in the hours seems it’s getting late
keeping things in side and love locked out
my love is blissful as a butter fly
flying fields of hoslteins in search of cows
churning every morning with a mother’s crying child
worried if the day will provides enough milk

love is the only thing that we can bring
across the board
love’s a wide range of things
but most oF all A splendoured roar
love is a factory setting set on
getting ready
love creeps A long A line arriving just in time to find
out in down to earth again
beginning things by scratching chin up eye on the itch
wait ON what day break will bring offering Glife, health and limb
signs warning under sun shining turning round A world un done
love is a thunder bolt reckoning with A vote
to stay here stubborn or to go
love is like many things a room with circus rings
round an elephant

the tortoise and my hair Guelph, Ontario
diary of a decomposing dog
this diary on this scary day is one of warmth again and
play i am not going to say what my feeling really is in fact it’s just a lark that i have any at all no one’s left to listen, no one ever has, my bed’s been made un-wizened so been judged to be the best, but somehow just one wrinkle in my head is always left.
