No Bittersweet

Such a gentleman

He’s no bittersweet

Sad you passed me by?

He bound love you dream you could un-wind

I love to be so close to him

Away from shady child’s play

I have a lovely hand of his

Far far from you and hustler play

I had to go & win all the games you play

Yes I have to brag

He’s the pick on top, you’re on the sideline

_____

In the past I’ve played your games

Wiped the competition lame

All the while my grass grows green

While you trek the same routine

Visceral Taboo

With no finish line in sight

The key’s in the ignition

There’s no route to entertain

Cause she’s standing in the way

His extended stare revives

My fixation with his eyes

His freckled disposition

Her fleeing caberet

A Visceral Taboo. A love long overdue. Why do I run from you, my

inerratic muse?

His contagious smile defies

My lonely condition

His platonic touch ails my

Candid disarray

If he’d only take my love

Draping him from up above

My spilling adoration

Our tired triple play

Under The Trees

Honey, I wait for you

Sit hear and dream of you

As you draw me from those eyes

You free me

You made the branches oscillate

You then approached against the wind

Lively inverted, you’re a child

A vivid cry, yet so mild

The twilight came

You’re never vague

Your words so fine

You freed my spine

From the wooded vine

Of the scarlet tainted wine

_______

You free me

_______

The midnight blue-black hue

Yearning a break

Before the sun

Wrapping my hands

Around your face

My hideaway

The gravity that brings the day

You came in view

I never knew

Your words so fine

You freed my spine

From the wooded vine

Of the scarlet tainted wine

______

You free me

______

Don’t be scared of me

Let’s take a nap under the trees

Now don’t be scared of me

We’ll blow a kiss right through the leaves

Lovely Fool

I’m sick of debating

The right brain to the left

No leverage to my bet

A lovely fool for you

I wait on you

The worthwhile comes slowly

As I’m put to the test

You slit me like the rest

I’m bleeding blue

Your fingers pick me out

My quivering nylon

Exposed from inside out

My lonely song for you

I wait on you

Me estoy ahogando

I’m suffocating

La victima de esta confución

A victim of this confusion

Me juegas cuando no sabes lo que quieres

You play me as you don’t know what you want

Me enfado del columpio

I’m sick of the swinging

El columpio de que me agarro desesperadamente

The swing I cling to in desperation

Que aquí te espero

And I wait for you here

Una bella mensa

A lovely fool

Y ni lo notas

And you don’t notice

Ni me avisas que tu amor

And you don’t even advise me that your love

Se ha desaparecido

Has disappeared

Hace mucho tiempo

Since a long time ago

For you. I wait on you…


The worthwhile comes slowly

As I’m put to the test

You slit me like the rest

I’m bleeding blue

Your fingers pick me out

My quivering nylon

Exposed from inside out

My lonely song for you

I wait on you. For you…

Bossa Cries

I think of you when my Bossa Cries
As it lays deep into your black eyes
Let your waters wash
Down the stream
The seas have waiting ages
Patiently
I think of you when my bossa cries
He cries…

Your face appears when my bossa tears
Sopping memoirs lost between my ears
The auditory seam
Sown in me
Craves you free my unsung melodies
I think of you when my bossa
Cries, he cries…

Apuñalado

Tu rio no calma
Your rivers won’t settle
Sigues bien protejado
You remain so defended
Contigo no hay fácil
With you nothing is easy

Ella te ha apuñalado
She cut at (stabbed) you
Yo no te ha apuñalado
I have not cut at you
Pero yo no soy ella, amor
I’m not her, my love
…no soy ella
…I’m not her


Siempre en la mañana
Every Morning
Tu cara me abruma
I’m overwhelmed by the memory of your face
Trago pensamientos
Guzzling the memories
Con un vino rojo
With a red wine
Lamo todo el nectar
Lapping all it’s nectar
Como una adicta
Like an addict
Conmigo no hay daño
With me, there will be no eradication

Ella te ha apuñalado
She cut at you
Yo no te ha apuñalado
I have not cut at you
Pero yo no soy ella, amor
I’m not her, my love
…no soy ella
…I’m not her

Don’t be too scared to let me
Love you like you need…

Side by Side

I tell you, I’ve been overwhelmed

Since the day I saw your face

You’ve made a childhood fairytale

Wrap the truth around with lace

But when I sleep in your arms

Life’s a memory, it’s only us

In a dream, wondering

Side by side

Though we’ve had

Our ups and downs

I’m at your fault, you’re at mine

The sunny days still dry the tears

And warm your face for me to kiss, just to kiss

But when I sleep

In your arms

Life’s a memory, it’s only us

In a dream, wondering,

Side by side
