Re: Never Shake Me

phoriner said:
How do I describe an angel - oh, for the right words to say;
'Cause when that girl does love me, Lord, she takes my breath away.
I love to hold her in the morning, and she'll be with me tonight;
Time just passes much too quickly, as the darkness fades into light...

She could fly into the clouds - hide at the bottom of the sea;
Run to the ends of this universe - but she'll never shake me...

Another day on the horizon, and she's lyin' next to me;
I'd give her anything in this whole, wide world - she taught me how to be.
Hasn't always been that easy - known my share of pain and sorrow;
She says she loves me, and I believe it, as we walk in a new tomorrow...

She could fly into the clouds - hide at the bottom of the sea;
Run to the end of this universe - but she'll never shake me...
...no; she'll never shake me...

As usual I love your songs. Your soul that you put into your lyrics is true poetry to me.
 
*~...littlekateyes...~*

*~...my wish for you...us...~*

I'm just sitting here watching the rain fall from the sky;
Another lonely night without you by my side.
I wish you were here to rest your pretty face on my chest -
I love to feel your heart beat so softly while you rest...

And as I think of you...you always make me smile...

I really wanted to see, I miss you so tonight;
Life has it's funny way of staying on the move.
I look out my window and I watch the people passing by;
Without you by my side, I'm such a lonely guy.

I remember all the walks we had down along the beach;
Holding hands and laughing as the moonlight showed the way.
And even though I'm lonely, I'll still make it through the night;
Cause I'll see you in my dreams, and that makes it alright...

And as I think of you...you always make me smile...
 
*~...lilly munster...thank you...littlecateyes...~*

*~...purring...contentedly...~*

I remember the day just like it was yesterday;
When that autumned-haired beauty moved my way.
A creature so lovely, her radiance burned my eyes -
Forver etched in stone on my mind...

Walking down a country lane, down by the old oak tree;
And I still can't believe how she came unto me.

A stranger and yet somebody I seemed to know;
And without a word we spoke soul to soul...
She sat down next to me - smiled and took my hand;
Filled me with desire and a love that I still don't inderstand.

And every night I dream of her face - my soul will know no peace;
Until I'm with my angel...angel in white lace...

We made love with rhythm and grace;
Losing all track of time and space.
Our very beings interwining until we became one;
Then our passion burst, burning hotter than the sun...

All too soon the Shadows took her away;
And though she cried, she could not stay.
My heart burns for hers - I search both day and night;
I'll endure anyting just so I can hold her tight.

And every night I dream of her face - my soul's in agony;
Until I'm with my angel...angel in white lace...
...my angel...angel in white lace...

:kiss: :rose: :heart:

*~I sing...for you...my sweet lady...~*
 
*~...breathing...~*

*~...hearts are beating as one...no longer questions...the road before us seems...to lead us...together...it is warm now...I feel safe now...I abandon myself...risk...though it doesn't seem so...I long to breathe with you...powerful...I melt...missing her so...but cannot turn...don't even want to...I am losing a battle I don't even want to win...~*

Living Alone

His personal space extended to every corner -
one man of many furnishing occupying his place.
He longed for a lived-in look that warms walls
and brings soft glow when switches are flipped.

Plastic coverings out with the discarded -
material worn thin and smooth,
creases and impressions left
by those paid to come and sit.


edit: *Had to correct a stupid typo!*

Internally

I smile since you
You hold me close
Your arms are powerful
I feel small, yet cosseted

I no longer inquire why
Nor is the coast a problem
For you are the one
I hold internally
 
*~...internally I breathe...with her...~*

*~...a man is moved by who you are...what you do...by you...~*

Sweet Ariana, holds my heart in her hands;
Sweet Ariana, it wasn't part of our plans.
But something happened that day -
Did we see it the same way?
Something said "run away";
But I knew I should stay...my sweet Ariana...

Sweet Ariana, is that a tear in your eye;
Sweet Ariana, who are we to ask why?
We saw our words take flight;
Desire too deep - too slight.
Something said "it's not right";
But we shant give in to fright...

Winds of trevail blow o'er a stormy sea;
Waves of broken dreams - never meant to be.
Dark clouds as far as the eye can see -
But if I take your hand;
Would you believe in me...

Sweet Araian, please give me your hand;
Sweet Ariana, come away from this land -
Walk into the New day;
Let us see it the same way...
No, we musn't run away;
Sweet Ariana...please...stay...

Too Late for the Sky

Neither walking

nor running
nor late falling
too late
for the sky

nor vain emboldened
by wine attempts to
fly can help her catch

her breath

but still she watches
stars and stands
outside unmoving

poised and waiting
for some truth to
to intervene

illuminate the scene
but it is darkness as
before

and there is nothing
for it but to head
back to the door
and once gained
be led inside.
 
the weather outside

bragging rights for being
the first one the block to have one

youth remembered
creative playful spirit
fed and kindled

scraped and full of leaves
the first snowman of the year

I love that little man
 
Despair

Despair

My head is in obscurity
My heart is ripped, sheared for all to see

I want ecstasy
I want the passion

My head will not let go
My heart is in pain

I need the tête-à-tête
I need the power

My head is a silhouette
My heart is holding on

I see the sun,
I still think of former times

My heart is at ease
My soul is still darken
 
*~...heartbeat...~*

She walks on rainbows but she don't even know;
I try to tell her but she handgs up the phone.
If I could only just erase all these years -
I'd find a way to stop the flow of her tears...

She rides on moonbeams but she don't even know;
I try to tell her but she hangs up the phone.
She had to find out it's a lonely ol' world -
It's such a shame she should be somebody's girl...

I would've been there - but she pushed me away;
I would've been there - just a heartbeat away...
I'd like to be there - she'll just push me away;
I'd like to be there - just a heartbeat away...

She hides in the Courtyard and she won't let it show;
I try to tell but she hangs up the phone.
It's such a shame she should not be alone -
I try to tell her but she hangs up the phone.

She is the music of her misery's dance;
I tried to love her but I never stood a chance.
If I could only erase all those years -
I'd find the way to stop the flow of her tears...

I would've been there - but she pushed me away;
I would have been there - just a heartbeat away...
I'd like to be there - she'll just push me away;
I'd like to be there - just a heartbeat away...
...a heartbeat way...a heartbeat away...

Heart is sheared for all to see
You do not know what you mean to me
How you have touched my life
Yet you walk
I am yet crushed.
 
we are not legal
in 5 southern US states
we both kissed a girl

I looked up "meaning"
yesterday,
it was different.
not the simple thing
I thought things
are supposed to be

but things roll
and tumble too
to the bottom of Fryn Hill
 
My husband keeps asking where his socks are.
Today I told him the bizarre but true truth.
As I sat here on this very computer,
typing important words to Doug,
I heard a "thump, thump, thump."
A long line of mismatched socks -
doing not a prance but a hi-ho march -
walked across the floor and out the door,
on the porch, down the steps, up the walk
to a waiting truck with confederate flag.
Socks jumped in the back and sped away,
leaving one behind...
Now my husband wears only one sock
with tread marks.

We should be happy, instead you're killing me;
What will it take to set you free?
Is there something I can say, is there something I can do;
To help you find that part of you?

You seem lost sometimes, but you paid the cost alone;
Now I'm knocking on the door to your heart -
And I'm afraid...nobody's home...

Sometimes I see I see it there, or I lose it in your stare;
What stops you from letting yourself care?
You're pushing me away, you're begging me to stay;
Why won't you talk, we've so much to say?
There is no guarantee, that I can set you free -
I only know I'm where I need to be...

I'm sorry your head was turned - a painful lesson learned;
Hard to get it back once you've been burned.
Oh, won't you let me try, girl, I really wanna try;
But you keep it inside and won't tell me why...

You seem lost sometimes, you paid the cost alone;
So I'm knocking on the door to your heart -
And I'm afraid...nobody's home...
...oh, how I hope that she is home...
 
The Adventures of Duh: The Brenda Tape

Last month Duh rented Brenda Behaves Badly.
He didn't watch it.
He taped it so he could keep Brenda forever.
He didn't attempt to view it for 3 weeks -
Duh likes to anticipate.
The tape was blank except for opening credits
and peek of parted lips.
Duh zipped and rushed to Video Quickie Rentals.
Rows of well handled boxes in alphabetical order
offered Anal Alice in Assland
and Connie Cums Back for More
but no Brenda behaving badly in the B's.
That guy behind the counter was clueless -
and had greasy hair, Duh noted.

Brenda wasn't on the shelf.
Brenda wasn't behind the counter.
Brenda wasn't even on the computer.

Where was Brenda?
Who had Brenda?
Was Brenda Behaving Badly wherever she was?

Duh was dejected.
Duh called the greasy guy every night.
No Brenda.
Duh suspected foul play.

Last night at midnight, oh what a night,
Duh pranced into Video Quickie Rentals.
Behind the counter was a woman.
She was the Video Quickie manager
and she had lips like Brenda's peek of parted lips.
She knew where Brenda was.
Another Video Quickie had borrowed Brenda.

"Will Brenda be back?" Duh inquired.
"Do you want her to come back?" Brenda-like lips asked.

Duh went to amazon.com and now he owns Brenda.

Well I have to thank my muse for this one. Thanks you amusing muse. lol
 
*~...for those women to whom this concerns...~*

...warning...

Coal black Friday as I cruise the Drag;
Lookin' for my woman workin' out of her trick bag.
Same old weary faces on Heartbreak Boulevard;
Feel my anger burni' so I have to swallow real hard.

I see her walkin' up the street a-holdin' his hand;
And what she sees in Skinny Boy I'll never understand.
I swear before I'm through with her she'll trun my heart to stone;
It's foolish not to quit her, but I can't leave her alone.

Girl, one day you'll push it too far -
No one can love you the way you are.
And you might laugh at me...but baby;
You're headed for a fall...

I gave her everything but she only wanted more;
I pick up the pieces - that's all she wants me for.
Now soon she'll be knockin' on my door a-cryin';
And with every beating a part of her is dyin'...

Now when the sun comes up it's a new day;
And in the light you can make your get-away.
Make all the excuses you want...but baby...
You're headin' for a fall...

So now she turns the corner and suddenly she's gone;
An' if she wants Skinny Boy I guess I should be movin' on...
The ambulance screamin' chases thoughts of how we once were;-
It may not be tonight - but one day it's comin' for her...
 
*~...once again...alone...~*

*~...retreating to the edge of the Shadows...ready to decend back into their darkness and take the long walk back down into the Valley of Despair...home...~*
 
You seem distant
Lost for words
Two different worlds
Would like to be in the same

How I miss you
 
I'm Right Here

Open your eyes dear lady...I am right here...

Went for a walk down by the Boat Landing;
It was another lonely night...
No company, except for the shadow following me;
Etched in the pale moonlight...

And it's not fair I sing this sad refrain;
When you could heal my pain.
You took my sunshine and left me in the rain -
When you could heal my pain...

Once I was asked, "Is there someone in your life";
Well, I really don't know.
You gave me your heart - you pledged your love to me;
That's not the time to go...

Come back home - oh, won't you please;
If you look...you'll see I'm on my knees -
Yet you could heal my pain...

Instead you keep your distance so that you won't see;
How you make me cry...
"We'll keep in touch, I'll write you every day";
Sounds like a long goodbye...just a long goodbye...

And it's not fair I sing this sad refrain;
When you could heal my pain.
You took my sunshine - and left me in the rain -
When you could heal my pain...heal my pain...
...yes, you could heal pain...
