Crazy in your light

"Crazy in Your Light 

*(Verse 1)*  

Margaret, you’re my sparkly star,  

Colors bouncing, going far,  

Your touch’s a wild, crazy ride,  

In your glow, I come alive!

*(Chorus)*  

Lost in your light, I’m spinning free,  

A kaleidoscope of ecstasy,  

Rivers of love burst in my veins,  

Dancing wild through crazy chains!

*(Outro)*  

In your storm of neon dreams,  

Laughing loud, it’s all extremes,  

Margaret, in your scream—  

This wild, wonderful, crazy dream!

 

I am a phone you can talk to me

 

I’m a Phone

I’m a phone, you can talk to me,
Held close, then dropped like nothing,
Here I stand at midnight,
Her laughter spilling into the air,
Gong strikes twelve,
And she walks away.

Men, women — mouths collide,
Bodies press, kisses scatter,
And I? I remain.
A shadow in the crowd,
A signal waiting for reception,
A device with no one listening.

I am touched when convenient,
Ignored when inconvenient,
I carry voices, secrets, laughter,
Yet no one carries mine.

I am alive,
Yet invisible.
I am here,
Yet unwanted.
I am a phone.
And tonight, I am alone.

bang bang records

 

Bang! Records!

He shot his past, he shot some tunes,
Beer in hand beneath the moon.
Vinyl flew, Slim Dusty cried,
We laughed so hard, nearly died.

Missed the mark, hit something true,
Kettle boiled—cheers to you!

Karren

O Karren, fairest flower of the dawn,
Thy beauty wakes when night is gone.
The morning bows before thy grace,
And sunlight lingers on thy face.

Thy voice, a silken stream of air,
Unwinds my soul from every care;
Each word thou speak’st, each breath, each sigh,
Turns mortal hours to ecstasy.

When near thee, time itself stands still—
My heart obeys thine every will.
Thy glance ignites the trembling flame
That burns and whispers but thy name.

Were I a poet born of old,
With quill of fire and heart of gold,
I’d spend my days, my nights, my art,
To paint the heaven within thy heart.

O Karren, love so rare, divine,
No sweeter fate than calling thee mine;
For though this world shall fade away,
My soul shall love thee — come what may.

lost to chance

In bustling streets of a distant, city, Georgena paused to dance so briefly, A fleeting moment amid the crowded throng, Her eyes met softly, then he was gone. In that brief pause, the world held above, A whisper of movement, delicate as love, A city’s rush, yet in that fleeting dance, She shared a moment—lost to chance.

Julie

In a world of colors, vibrant and bright, Julie shines with hues of purple and pink light. Her spirit dances, a warm, gentle breeze, A heart full of kindness, puts all at ease. With every stride, she embraces her grace, Her laughter, a melody, a sweet embrace. Hardworking hands crafting dreams into gold, Her beauty unique, a story untold. In her presence, the sun seems to rise, For warmth in her smile, a sweet, tender prize. With colors so bold, she colors the day, Julie, a masterpiece, in every way.

Muriel

In the night's glow, we shared some joy, Muriel danced, light on her feet. Her smile shone bright, a spark "O" boy, Every move felt natural, nothing discreet. With music around us, time slipped away, A few friendly spins and carefree sway. In that moment, it all felt right, Just two friends dancing, lost in the night.

Kerry

On the dance floor, under the starlit sky, Kerry and I twirled, letting worries fly. With stars above and friends beside, In laughter where our spirits could glide. Months later, I gathered my hope to declare, With a shy smile, she whispered, “Not there.” Disheartened yet wiser, I turned to depart, Leaving behind just the beat of my heart. Through whispered tales and midnight skies, In every shared moment, our spirit flies. No ties to bind, just hearts set free, Yet now I stand, alone with memories of you and me. In shadows I faded, never to return, A flicker, a burn, a lesson to learn. Under the Southern Cross where dreams take flight, I hold onto love, ever lost in the night.

shit

In shadows cast by grief's embrace, A heart once whole now bears the trace Of loss so deep, it chills the night, A son's bright spark extinguished, slight. Two hours distant, worlds apart, Echoes linger, pain in the heart. Neglect became the cruel thief, Stealing joy, leaving only grief. Anger simmers, like a flame, Directed at those who bring such shame. "How could you let this happen?" cries, A father's sorrow, endless skies. In silence, tears cascade like rain, A heavy burden, a weight of pain. Yet from this darkness, hope might rise, In memories cherished, love never dies. Though paths feel tangled, lost in strife, Every moment holds a piece of life. For in the depths of heart's despair, A flicker of light can linger there. So remember the laughter, the dreams once shared, The love that binds, the moments cared. Your story matters, your voice is true, In the tapestry of sorrow, there's strength in you.

In your arms, the poem

In your arms, the world feels right, A whispered dream in the soft twilight. Every glance, a gentle spark, Together we’ll light up the dark. Through the trials that life may send, Hand in hand, we’ll always mend. With you, my heart will always stay, My love, my life, come what may.

In your arms

In your arms In your eyes, I see my home, Every heartbeat, I’m not alone. Hold my hand, let’s never part, You’re the music in my heart. Through the storms, we’ll find our way, With your love, it’s a brighter day. Hold my hand, I’ll always stay, You’re my forever, come what may. In your arms, I’m safe and sound, With you, my love, I’ve finally found.

Ode to Narrel

**Ode to Narrel** In the garden where the wildflowers dance, Lives a spirit named Narrel, full of chance. With laughter like sunlight, a soft, gentle breeze, She weaves through the air, putting hearts at ease. Her energy sparkles like stars in the night, A whirlwind of joy, a beacon of light. With every kind gesture, each smile that she shares, She lifts up the weary, dissolves all their cares. Her voice is a melody, sweet as the dawn, Each word like a petal, gentle and drawn. In her presence, the world seems to glow, As she radiates warmth in the soft aftershow. Through valleys of shadows, she guides with grace, Transforming the mundane into a mystical space. With laughter like music and dreams painted bright, Narrel dances through life, a pure, shining light. So here’s to the spirit, enchanting and free, May her lovely energy continue to be. For the world is much sweeter in her joyful embrace, Narrel, our darling, a true gift of grace.

The end

(Verse 1) Underneath the twilight sky, We laughed as dreams began to fly, But fate, it whispered in the trees, A shadow hung on summer’s breeze. (Pre-Chorus) And in a blink, the world fell dark, A fractured moment, a piercing mark, I reached for you, but time stood still, In the chaos, love remained to fill. (Chorus) Oh, the whispers in the shadows, Carry me to where you are, Though the night has stolen hours, You’re my guiding star. In the silence, your laughter rings, In the echoes of my heart, Forever in the broken things, We’ll never be apart.

In the silence, your laughter rings, In the echoes of my heart, Forever in the broken things, We’ll never be apart.

In the silence, your laughter rings, In the echoes of my heart, Forever in the broken things, We’ll never be apart. (Outro) So let the stars weave our story, Through the night, we’ll rise and soar, In whispers and shadows, we find glory, Together forever, forevermore.

The end I love you Jan forever.

It was a night like any other, where the world lay cloaked in the twilight haze of a summer evening. Jan and I had spent the day wandering through the woods, our laughter mingling with the rustle of leaves and the chirping of crickets. We were not just friends; we were tethered souls, bound by the shared secrets of our lives. Those woods were our sanctuary, a place where we could escape the turmoil of reality and simply be. But as dusk settled in, we decided to climb the ridge overlooking the valley, eager to catch the last breath of daylight. We sat on the edge, our feet dangling over the precipice, eating the sandwiches my mother had packed. The golden hour painted the sky in hues of orange and purple, and for a moment, everything felt perfect. It wasn't until the sky darkened, and we started our descent, that the unexpected struck. A sudden crack echoed through the trees, and a heart-stopping moment ensued. A thick branch, weakened by the previous day's storm, broke free from the weight of its own age and came crashing down. In that split second, time elongated. I turned to shout a warning to Jan, but it was too late. The world erupted into chaos. I watched, paralyzed, as the branch struck her with a brutal finality. A sickening thud reverberated in the air, and my friend crumpled to the ground. I rushed to her, but before I reached her side, I felt it—a force, raw and primal, unfurling within me, everything around me consuming in a flash of blinding light. The world spiraled as I was thrown back, tumbling to the forest floor, gasping and disoriented. The impact left me wracked with pain, but it was the silence that followed which crushed me deepest. I turned back to Jan, now lifeless and broken, as the forest felt like a living weight pressing down on me. In that moment of despair, I experienced something profound. It felt as if the barriers between life and death had blurred, and I glimpsed a realm beyond the physical—a place bathed in ethereal light. I sensed her spirit as if she were just out of reach, flickering like a candle in the wind. It was both horrifying and beautiful, the agony of loss mingled with an inexplicable sense of connection. The minutes stretched into what felt like eternity. I lay there, cradled by the earth, the pain radiating from my body and yet somehow merging with the ache in my heart. I could hear the distant chirps of crickets and feel the cold breath of night creeping in, but my mind was lost in the other world, a shimmering arena of memories, laughter, and fleeting moments. There, I remembered our secret dreams and whispered promises, the warmth of her presence that had once filled the space between us. And even as I knelt in anguish, I felt the space where she had been, the light she had brought into my life, the love that stitched us together—woven now into the very fabric of my being. When the paramedics finally arrived, it felt like an intrusion on our sacred moment. They couldn’t see what I had seen, the connection that defied the laws of nature. Yet as they pronounced her dead, something forged in that boundless realm lingered within me, transforming my pain into a testament of our bond. With each passing day, even as I moved through life bearing this wound, I carried her essence with me. The glimpses I had experienced continued to color my existence, a reminder that love transcends even the fiercest of tragedies. JAN was gone, but the whispers of our shared life would echo in the silence of my heart forever.

The end

In shadows deep where silence lay, Her body torn, like night from day, A whispered breath, a final plea, And I was cast, unbound, set free. The force erupted, wild and fierce, It pierced the void, the seams it cleaved, I fell to earth, a shattered soul, In that dark moment, felt it whole. Pain knotted deep, a cruel embrace, Yet in that suffering, a sacred grace, A glimpse beyond the veil so thin, Where echoes dance and shadows spin. The other world, a haunting sight, With flickers dim of lost delight, It washed over me like a tide, A bittersweet truth I couldn’t abide. Her laughter lingered, a haunting song, A memory woven through the wrong, In every heartbeat, in every sigh, I felt her spirit, never to die. So here I stand, though crushed and worn, Carrying whispers of the forlorn, For even in death, love finds its way, In shadows and light, forever will stay.

lies wear a mask

Lies wear a mask—a faux friend by your side. They giggle and dance with a mischievous flair, Whispering sweet nothings that float in the air. "Oh, I’m not late!" they chime with a grin, While you wait at the door, feeling frazzled within. "I swear it’s the truth, I’d never mislead!" Yet they munch on your patience like a tasty seed. “Oh, I love your new haircut, it’s quite bold and chic!” While inside you’re thinking, “Did a raccoon sneak?” And that "gourmet" dinner from last night’s feast, Turns out to be leftovers from last week's beast! So here’s to the fibs, the tales spun so fine, To the weavers of stories who casually dine. They tickle our fancies, confuse and bemuse, In this grand comedy—what do we choose? For a sprinkle of humor, a dollop of fun, Life’s little deceptions? Well, they weigh a ton! So let’s laugh at the lies, have a chuckle or two, For who knows, dear friends—maybe they’re true!

Life’s a grand party, so come take a chance!

Life’s a grand party, so come take a chance! **(Chorus)** Singin’ whoa-oh, let’s dance in the street, With laughter in the air and the rhythm of our feet. We’ll twist and we’ll twirl, let the world fade away, In this crazy little life, we’ll find our way! **(Bridge)** So here’s to the moments that make our hearts sing, To the joy that we share in simple little things. With a wink and a grin, we’ll take on the day, In this beautiful mess, we’ll laugh come what may! **(Chorus)** Singin’ whoa-oh, let’s dance in the street, With laughter in the air and the rhythm of our feet. We’ll twist and we’ll twirl, let the world fade away, In this crazy little life, we’ll find our way! **(Outro)** In this crazy little life, we’ll find our way, With love in our hearts, come what may!

Dance away

Dance away In the dance of life, I find my way Through the trials and tribulations of each day I let the music guide me, set my spirit free And let the rhythm of love wash over me I dance through the pain, I dance through the tears I dance through the joy, conquering my fears With every step, I feel my soul ignite And I know that I'll make it through the night So let the music play, let the beat go on I'll keep on dancing until the break of dawn For in the dance, I am truly alive And I know that love will always survive So I'll dance through the fire, I'll dance through the pain I'll keep on dancing through the wind and rain And when the music fades, when the dance is done I'll know in my heart, that I've truly won Yes, I've truly won, in the dance of life Finding strength and joy, amidst the strife So I'll keep on dancing, with all my might Forever in the dance, my heart takes flight.

Be gone

Love was just a game But it left me feeling so ashamed Broken pieces of my heart Tattered and torn and split apart I swore off love, promised myself To let anyone back on the shelf But she came back,back around kept my feet on solid ground But I won't be fooled again she wanted start but "O" the pain Her love was there not to Dare I'll guard my heart without care No one is worthy of my things For I know the pain that it brings And I refuse to let it stray I'll keep it locked far away So goodbye to love, goodbye to pain My will is to start over again I'll rebuild that was torn apart With a healed and solid guarded heart I'll move on and find my way
