Love's complete

love's cruel,
love's tender
love's a wonder
love can change
in a flash of anger

most of all it's sweet
has you on a lead
somethin' you can't beat
love's complete

a shot of love
nourishin' your brain
can have a cold touch
soaked in poison
straight to your heart

it'll tear it apart
that cold cold touch
love can stare
and have enough

It'll choose another victim to stay
set it on fire by wild desire
by wild rage it's caged
and it won't go, won't leave

this love's complete
stays uncounted days and nights
you've discovered life hang on
where love's...wild

Drizzlin' rain

on a rainy day
London an' Paris
are much the same
no use lookin'
for a better place
It's all drizzlin' rain

it is when I found him
at the station,
sittin' on a bench
last train went
waitin' for it to happen

alone in the dark
waitin'for some love
he knew nothin' about
was comin' 'round
puttin' on a show
makin' believe
he was a pro

he was afraid
to blow the game
I led him on
in his believe
he was makin' it all
with me

I taught him
what love was
when he left
he was spent
still it happened

he kept comin'
to that bench
now ev'ry night
he's comin'
takin' it all
takin' it in

learning fast
like a fish's first swim
he drained
all I know
in the rain

drizzlin' rain
in the surf of my life
got a man
took him down
in the rain

Sunshine

there ain't no Sunshine where I go
no Sunshine...where love grows cold
no Sunshine...when it dies in the Streets
no Sunshine...when its destruction
is...
complete

Without rules

I haven't forgotten love
it's just not around me
any more
I feel disappointed

I'm without rules

nobody
to rub shoulders with
no expecting kiss,
it's not there

I'm without rules

they say to me
how to behave
whenever it comes
not knowing how to cope
when it comes to my door

when it does, I'm shocked
I'm scared, I've forgotten
the...

'RULES"

Down came the thunder

water on the rocks
coming down through
the splendour of the grass
as our love is where we rest

heaven never was that steel blue
joining in at nature's special tune
silent as a summer morning in dew
never, never was the earth so pure

our love as water on the carved rocks
coming down over the rich land
cuting corners, cuting stones and sand
through the splendour of the grass

creating its own road to travel
towards us where we rest at last
as the love is we both share
killing the fears at our feet
below us, way down deep
in the sand

water on the rocks don't seem to end
water on the rocks coming down
as the love we found
water's coming down and down

giving food to what we found
giving it reason to survive
keeping it alive in shimmering lights
letting it grow in to its daylight
setlling down in our hearts
where it is like water on the rocks

heading for that final count down
where the water frrom the rocks
comes down, keeps coming down
from those heights we try to find

ignorance blocking us we still find the way
way deep inside we find what's hidden
what the eye doesn't see, almost leaves
in its retreat

yet, we find our way in water from the rocks
yes, water of the rocks showed us within
we saw the secret where it began  ended
we drank our water from the rocks

wanting more and more where it came from
 satisfying our thirst, then came the word
we lay down next to our fears that had
disappeard when we became man

down came the hunder, down came the rain
making us clean, washing the sins away
one day water of the rocks will come down again

There was thunder

 

 

 

 

 

a

 

woman can kill with so much

 

as

 

a

 

breath of love

 

a

 

woman

 

can kill with a look, love with an embrace

 

cry in the shade

 

a

 

woman

 

can kill with so much as a gentle touch

 

 

feel

 

the coldness of her arms, see the chill in her eyes

 

the

 

hate when she smiles, still she speaks of love

 

which

 

she

 

promissed but easily forgot

 

 

 

whatever

 

reason took her love, it wasn't completely lost

 

like

 

a

 

desease some of it never leaves, a faint  feeling remains

 

disturbing in fact, 'cause it doesn;t rest

 

 

always

 

a

 

stir a movement is there

 

she

 

knows it all too well, leaves her in despair

 

'cause

 

strong the hate, it's done in passion, love its name

 

 

 

her

 

strenght weakening, comin in for the kill

 

close to total surrender

 

there

 

was

 

thunder

Like to read

love

 

to

 

read in my own time

 

I

 

need to know what's goin' on down the road all the time

 

 

it's

 

a way of life that has to be satisfied

 

and

 

I

 

want to know it all

 

 

read what's there to tell, sometimes it rings a bell

 

 

the

 

story they tell I know it all to well

 

it's about myself it is so crystal clear, I must have been here

 

come through a door opened years before

 

 

I,

I

 

didn't know I was on show

 

my

 

tale had been told, it's all in here to read

 

 

I

 

can't believe it's about me, 'cause I wasn't there

 

has been written in another time, that's the answer to me

 

 

so

 

I

 

read,  and read it well

 

first

 

person to know how life's gonna be

 

when

 

i

 

finish I wonder are there more like this

 

'cause it doesn't give  all the answers how a life

 

has to be lived

 

there

 

must be more people like me who like to read

 

come

 

across a story they can hardly believe

 

what it is they read when they understand they know they're

 

the

 

few chosen  that get a look

 

ahead

 

and

 

know what life's gonna be

Feelings

 

 

 

you

 

speak to me of love

 

 

you

 

speak to me of faith

 

 

you

 

speak to me of tenderness

 

were

 

such things to be true

 

where

 

would I find them

 

 

JR. 2013

Maybe I can care or even love

 

 

comin'

 

from the past reachin' in to my dream

 

you come to me in the shadow of my thought

 

maybe

 

I

 

can care or even love

 

as long as you stay, don't leave me again

 

as

 

you

 

did

 

when we were kids

 

took of an' you were gone,

 

you came in to my thought, when I least expected it

 

in

 

my dream you were caught

 

maybe I can care or even love

 

 

I

 

try to make you stay, I want to know where I can find you again

 

but

 

my dream's  fadin' not much time left

 

so tell me where you are, I want6 to know the place

 

'cause I really care

 

 

 

once

 

you were in my world, it's somethin' I can't shake

 

I

 

shuffle my deck o' cards

 

up

 

comes the queen o' hearts, yes, you belong in my heart

 

maybe now I can care or even love

 

 

many

 

do say a dream's no fake

 

come back to me tonight, to tell me exactly

 

wher it is you hide, 'cause I can feel somethin's  not right

 

once I know I'll come an' take you away

 

from

 

whatever it is, that keeps you caged,

 

in the shade

 

where we met, laughed, never realisin'

 

what we had

 

after

 

so much we shared

 

I

 

think I can care or even

 

love

Eyes the face

 

 

 

 

 

there's

 

a

 

 

 face

 

 

it can only excist with eyes that live

 

that

 

see inside the thoughts they hide

 

 

the

 

fear that's there,  love enough to share

 

it

 

casts coldness in despair

 

it's all in the eyes, maybe not much

 

but's it's all they've got

 

 

so

 

it is eyes can be tamed

 

eyes can be made to mate, eyes can destruct if must

 

eyes can turn insane

 

if

 

jealousy is the hurt

 

eyes can scream wild

 

for what they want, and didn't get

 

eyes can be bad

 

 

it's all in the eyes, might not be much

 

but

 

the eyes make it a lot

 

 

eyes,

 

the

 

face

 

express anger, laughter, sadness, badness

 

almost anything at will

 

love for life, a pain inside

 

show the fear

 

 

it's all in the eyes, maybe not much

 

but

 

it's

 

what they've got

 

 

 

(c)  JR.  

A slow pain

 

 

 

 

 

there's

 

a slow pain penetratin' my heart

 

I

 

think somehow, I'm almost certain, almost convinced

 

it has reached, each an' ev'ry part, it must be love

 

there's

 

a

 

slow pain penetratin' my heart

 

 

strong talk is what you have

 

talk of what it is, to be on top of things

 

seems so very important, I don't need it so much

 

 

only

 

thing I can think of, is it in you to love

 

'cause

 

a

 

slow pain is penetratin' my heart

 

all

 

the strong talk cannot disguise cannot even hide

 

what's

 

goin' on inside, what's happening to you

 

I

can

 

only guess what I see

 

it

 

must be love you need

 

 

somethin' you could get, if you don't let it be

 

 

now

 

you've stopped, your eyes lock in to mine

 

with a strange temptin' look, an' you feel a slow pain rise

 

it

 

shows in your eyes, I  read in it your thoughts

 

 

I

 

know what you've got

 

there''s a slow pain penetratin'your

 

heart

 

 

now

 

you

 

hold me in such a way, I know you're not playin'

 

I

 

have no doubt you know

 

what it is like to have, this feelin' inside

 

 

to

 

be caught up in a web, you know must be love

 

'cause a slow pain is penetratin' your

 

heart

Roses

remember me to the roses

 

we took

 

remember me to the fiields

 

we lay in

 

 

remember me to the alleys

we

walked through


could I say we were in love

remember me as I was


I

can remember you even if I can't

get to you

ev'ry day you are more beautifull

in

a mind that's been restricted for timeless

years


remember me to the roses



and the roses have grown as they

must


those fields  must be larger I trust

our

alleys will be longer to run


will love have lingered on long enough


will you remember me as I was



could I say we were in love


remember

me

to
 
the
 
roses

Easy livin'

the

 

candle's burnin', a sherry in me hand

 

feet on the table, so very relaxed

 

my ears catch the music, my senses are sharpening

 

my arms are wantin'

 

love's near

 

 

 

I'm right here, just where you are

 

it's no game, I'm for real if you are

 

jsut enough light to land my kisses

 

growin' in to the night

 

light's dim

 

gone out of sight

 

 

so many sighs, intens exploration

 

so many lights in her eyes

 

a very easy livin'

 

 

i'm not very uptight

 

actually

 

I

 

unwind

Infinitive love

My

 

body

 

is

 

a

 

temple

 

where my soul

 

reigns

 

 

 

filled up to the rim

 

with faith, truth, compromise

 

if

 

needed

 

when it reaches out

 

for

 

the boundries

 

of

 

infinite

 

love
