Old lyrics I wrote as early as when I was a teenager.

“FLY” *from 1990

Stiletto heels – a flashy smile
Black dress, tattoo, she’s feeling wild

She walks in the room
Like she owns the place
They know it’s true
When they see her face

Black on black-
Lipstick so red
Wild burgundy flames
Around her head

He knows she wants
To take a chance
It’s said so clearly
In her dance

She whirls around
In a ball of flames
It’s the only way she knows
To forget the pain

(She’s so wild – but just a child
She knows what she wants – but not how to get it)

Her eyes glow bright
As she flies down the street
The bike’s her escape
From reality

The motor whines
Inside her head
She wonders what it’d be like
If she were dead

Faster and faster
Life passes her by
Now’s a time to fly
- not to die

(She’s so wild – but just a child,
She knows what she wants – but not how to get it)

Morbid
7/19/1991

Morbid sensations?
Oh, yes, they might be
Decomposing the sense of your reality

Darkness intrigues
As does the night
Shadows that scatter at the flick of a light

Curiosity invites
A glance at the knife
As it tears apart what’s left of your life

A glorious bloodbath
It washes you in
Drown in an ocean of un-repented sin

You cannot escape
A road bound to Hell
Do not pass Go – We wish you well

Destruction
7/19/1991

Another loose end
Rocketing towards destruction
No time to mend
The lull of death’s sweet seduction

Timeless thoughts
Buried just beneath the surface
Another holocaust
An accidental circus

A tortured soul cries
Hands aloft in anguished surrender
Twisted evil lies
These are easy to remember

A cruel twist of fate
A hatchet buried in a heart
As those old dreams suffocate
And your soul is blown apart

and now for something completely different

Together 2001

We’re together
Together my lover
Forever

Together
Even apart we’re together
Together
Since the start
Forever
You’re here in my heart
They can’t sever

Something they never will see
Unless we open their eyes
You and me

We’re together
Together my lover
Forever

Together
Even apart we’re together
Together
Since the start
Forever
You’re here in my heart
They can’t sever

Something they never will see
But we can open their hearts
You and me

Help them realize
Fantasy
Is a reality
If they believe
Like we believe
You and me

The magic between
Our souls
Our hearts
Our dreams

Run 2001

So why do I feel like you’re still here
Lurking and loving
behind the fear
Staring into my soul
As I grow old

There never really is an end
Are we that weak
Or do we just pretend
Has something swallowed us
Smoking choking
Lack of trust

CHORUS:
Breathing each other’s breath
Sliding closer in our sweat
I see your eyes
It’s no surprise
Have I been here before
Or am I looking into a mirror

Are we running from ourselves?

It’s too ******* hard
I see it in our stars
This world shreds my soul
A lonely battle to stay whole

There is an easy way
I won’t take that path
I’ve walked in darkness before
I know the aftermath

CHORUS:
Breathing each other’s breath
Sliding closer in our sweat
I see your eyes
It’s no surprise
Have I been here before
Or am I looking into a mirror

What am I running from?


You put your darkness in me
I put my darkness in you
Now we face OURSELVES
Can we handle the TRUTH

Is it Hate
Is it Love
Are the answers coming from below or above
A knife in my heart
A knife in my side
I twist them sometimes
To remember I’m alive

CHORUS (modified)
Breathing each other’s breath
Sliding closer in our sweat
I see your eyes
There’s no surprise
I HAVE been here before
I am looking into a mirror

I am running from myself


What’s left to do
What’s left to say
We either hold out our hands
Or turn away
To face this life
On our own
Forever searching for what we left alone

It all seems crazy
To give up before we’ve begun
To continue to fight a fight
We had already won

I breathe your breath
I smell your sweat
I look in your eyes
For all of time

Crazy Poetry 2006

You make me crazy
And sometimes I like it
You make me crazy
And sometimes I fight it

I don’t wanna need you
I don’t wanna want you
I want you to crave me
I wanna haunt you

I don’t wanna wonder
What you’re doin’ tonight
I don’t wanna see this
In the cold morning light

But Baby –
It’s all so beautiful to me
It’s all so meant to be
It’s romance, its poetry
It’s everything I knew it would be

You make me crazy
And sometimes I like it
You make me crazy
And sometimes I fight it

I don’t wanna touch you
In my dreams… in my mind,
But when the dream is over
I hit rewind

Cuz Baby –
It’s all so beautiful to me
It’s all so meant to be
It’s passion, its poetry
It’s everything I knew it would be

LOVER’S TOUCH 2006

I want to touch
But not too much
I might forget
To breathe

I want us to melt –
My hair on your lips
Your breath in my ear
My cheek soft on your neck

I want to smell
Your longing
And taste
Your demands

Baby, I think about you
Getting’ hard
to breathe
Without you
Too much
Too deep
Inside you
Gettin’ hard
To see
Without you

Love to think about you

Crawling on my knees
Without you

Sweet Surrender 2006

Everyone trusts their feelings
Love, lust, loses meaning
The plan is the plan
Don’t you understand?
The reality your games
Are concealing


Fight all you want
Create a good story
Pain, sacrifice, excitement
And glory

I like to float in
The sweet surrender
I like to suppose that
It’s just getting better
More love and more freedom
Every day
All of my dreams
On the way

Do you have to lose hope?
You smoke and you mope
I find you quite interesting

I like to float in
The sweet surrender
I like to suppose that
It’s just getting better
More love and ideas
For fun
More challenges
Waiting to be won

Self Deception 2006

(I can feel it)

I’m about
To do something
Stupid
Again

I convince myself
That this
Is the end
I can make myself
Fall
For another man

And escape this
Feeling
Of love
And of sin

I’m a master
At
Self
deception

(and SO ARE YOU!)

I can’t have you
But I can start new
For a night
Or a year
The future’s unclear

Does it really
Even matter

It helps me to
forget
I can focus
on other things

Like how they disgust me
And my own self-loathing!
I’m about
To do something
Stupid
Again

I convince myself
That this
Is the end
I can make myself
Fall
For another man

And escape this
Feeling
Of love
And of sin


They aren’t even close
But I pretend

I’m a master
At
Self
deception

This one is one of my old favorites


Candles Again 2006

Candles again
Filling in
The blanks
With question after question

Learning again
Yearning again
Searching, seeking,
I have a suggestion

What now
And when
Don’t do it again
Closeness, it ruins my perception

Too much to hope for
Too much to lose
Psychic empathy
Cryptic clues

I like my pleasure
With only a little pain
I do like falling in love
Again and again….
With you
With you
Always something new
With you
With you
Forever in my heart
It’s true

I like to tie off
Somewhere firm
Floating, flying,
Trusting love’s return

With you
With you
Always something new
With you
With you
It’s always you

Can you tell I grew up in the 80's?

Hi Star thanks for listening. You "love" them?! Thanks so much
I can count the number of people who have heard these on one hand.

More '06 these are scribbled notes

I'm not perfect
Don't you see?
That pedestal's too dam' small for me
I need to dance
and share my story
share the mystery
inside of me

I can't stay pretty
like a doll in a box
admired and dusty
and never loved
Just don't break me
or put me away
u don't wanna play

Let me be your muse
and you be my inspiration
what 'ave we got to lose
well, now that you mention it...

Let's lose our inhibitions
let's lose our clothes
If we lose what we came with
You never know
it might be beautiful
it might be beautiful
it might be beautiful

More from the very early 90's

Sweet Sweet Love

Soft smooth skin and bright blue eyes
Long soft hair and quiet, gentle sighs

Two special hearts join together as one
It may be wrong, but now it's done

They came together beneath the sky
And side by side they both now lie

The stars smile down at the two young souls
They once were young, but now quite old

Something special has happened tonight
A stronger force than either could fight

Their hearts knew the Truth when they both felt lost
And they were brought together - no matter the cost

Her devil eyes - his angel smile
It looks like they'll be together... for a while

But how long can this magic last?
The future belongs to them - if they can forget about the past

The moonlight shines down from above
And together in the grass they make sweet sweet love

Another charming captured moment of bitterness
dated 5/7/91 the old ones usually took me about 3 minutes to completely finish each one... if that.

Easy Living (NOT!) <--- um yeah, "not" - Anthrax

Death comes swiftly
in the night
cuts through your heart
like a knife

rips to shreds
your tired soul
how could someone so young
grow so old-
so quickly

sliced your heart
filleted your brain
didn't notice the extent
of the pain.
But it was real.

Pass that whiskey bottle to me
I'll show you things you've never seen
And never want to.

But what the ****
who gives a dam*
No one really
understands
your mentality

So kill yourself
show them all
let others be responsible
for your Fall
Isn't that the easy way?

Who said it wasn't easy?
Some ****** up b*****d who doesn't know
the Grand Finale
to life's final show

Death comes swiftly
in the night
No need to run
No need to fight
No need to even shout
Cuz baby, you know,
you've got the easy way out.

So there's no problem
who gives a dam*
you just **** up God's
final plan

Cuz you've got the brains
you know it All

Just don't expect me to
be around when you FALL

Death comes swiftly
don't you know?
So, die if you must--
But Die Alone

Ok, next in the notebook a scribble chart that says the words "bi-polar" and "chemical imbalance". Naaahhh...

Then some poems from a "friend" and this little ditty...

My soul is torn
completely apart
So much love to give
but only one heart

Three special friends -
different kinds of love
expecting me to choose
one heart above
- the others

But I'm just so lost
and confused
wondering if I'm being
used.


Asking for some
time for me
before I decide
who I want to be
- my one and only

Wanting to learn to love ME
Before facing harsh reality


(it was all I could do not to taunt myself here at every line, how melodramatic)

Wrote this one for my friend Matt-- still a beloved friend

That crazy smile
My knock 'em dead
But what goes on
Inside your head

You laugh and joke
But that's on the outside
When they're gone
Is when you cry

You've been a child
but now you're grown
You need someone with a heart
and mind like your own

Take some time
Some time to live
Worry about who you are
Not what you can give

Wrote this one for Jon who wrote me pages of "songs".
Most of the above are amalgams of more than one man and more than one experience, but when I was young I was always "writing songs" to the men I loved (even if it was 3 at a time, like the one after this...)

Jon was way too young for me so I took off with a Sag.


It's true - I still love you
It's true - I can't leave this feeling behind
It's true that when I close my eyes
Your love is still on my mind

It's true - I'd die to hold you
It's true - I'd love to touch
It's true - I won't forget our time
Our love was way too much

So don't just walk away
Don't turn your back to me
Because our brief and shining love
Was my reality.


(we used to sit around in a smoky room talking about "reality" man)
(is it just me or do I rip off my own lines? So much "dying" and "souls torn apart". Sheesh)

OH! The agony of it all!!!


ONE
Last time to be with you

ONE
Last chance what you put me through

ONE
Last dime to call you on the phone

ONE
Last dance and then we're both alone


Each line has a different guy's initials.
What? It was a rough year. :rollseyes:

Actually, I over dramatize... I only "did wrong" two guys in my life. One was totally my fault (see line one above when I left my young poet for a rock n roll Sag) and the other was this stubborn ass Taurus who was in the Army (oh that was something) wouldn't budge on anything or try to hear me, and I kissed his friend without any warning to him because he took off for a brief time with full intentions of coming back.

Why am I unloading all of this?

Because PLuto says so.

Ok, I think it was Xena who posted the anti-smoking poem..? Well, this is the one I was thinking of when I read that... the one I wrote as a teen (or maybe I was 20 in '91?) anyway... it was after one friend died from substance abuse, one committed suicide, and another was stabbed. It's MUCH more offensive than the anti-cig poem. I was dramatic. Ahh, to be young at heart.

typed below as it appears on the original (lucky you, although it will be highly censored, it rhymes, well, except the last word, just pick one there) page:

Don't Run Under the Gun Stupid
A Hypocritical Song

I've got the drugs
If you've got the time
I hold in my hands
The destruction of your mind

Cuz I don't care
What you do
I don't care
who I screw

Cuz thanks to you--
you ****** up slob
I don't even
need a job

I just take money
from you ******* *****
You'll pay anything for your fix

And it doesn't really
matter to me
Cuz All I care about
is the green

So you're on the street
Or maybe you're dead
Brains blown twenty feet
from your head

I don't even give a ****
I just deal the destruction
And wish you luck (*******)

This was written the same time as "One More"
I was 19 or 20. Boo hoo but true.

Too Many

Too many decisions
Too little time
Too many people
Saying "mine! mine! mine!"

Too many people
in such a hurry
Too many problems
Too many worries

Too many times
the tears run down your face
Too many times
You get caught up in the race

Too many times
You don't know what to do
Too many times
Feelings are hurt by you

Too many times
You'd like to scream
Cuz life is crushing
All your dreams

unfinished scribbled one, must have been "trying" to compose instead of letting it pour out

Someday baby
I'll wake up to find
You're next to me
Not in my mind

My mind starts to wander,
and I think of you.
We had just begun
And now we're thru

Sometimes it's not worth it
Livin' each ***kin' day
The feeling might be there
But there's nothin' more to say

It started out a dream
But it's going nowhere fast
Each day it gets worse
Can't keep livin' in the past

I try to hold on tight
but I can't do it alone

(that's it)
(scribbled on the back says something about "smokin' a last cigarette" and wondering what happened to my life)

Ok, and the 1991 GRAND FINALE!!!!!! Da dada DAAAA!

(there's more, I'm just done typing them for the night)

Mellie was a good girl
Said she'd never smoke
Now she bitches for the joint
She wants another toke

What happened to the innocence?
What happened to the dreams?
She takes another drag
And pours a shot of Beam

She sits for hours
Tears in her eyes
Those who knew her then
Understand why she cries

Her mother always told her
Each day that school bell rang
To do her best
Forget the rest
It's that potential thang

She stays awake all night
Waitress at the truck stop
She smiles and offers another drink
And wonders when she'll drop.

She lives each day and thinks all night
She tries to look her best
Without water for a shower
Without some time to rest.

She checks the mail
As she drives by
Another day, another bill
She wonders why she tries.

Her mother always told her
Each day that school bell rang
To do her best
Forget the rest
It's that potential thang

There might have been a chance
But the grades went down and so did she
The diploma sits in her trailer
But what the hell does it mean?

Her car broke down - no way to work
Got kicked out - can't pay rent
On the streets all alone
Her money and energy spent.

Her mother always told her
Each day that school bell rang
To do her best
Forget the rest
It's that potential thang

Now she's moved away
Found a place that's calm and sweet
Blood pours from her head
the car's aflame
A diploma at her feet.

(hey, i thought the car was broke down..? ahh, no matter it's THE-AH-TAR!)

Goodnight Seattle!
