A Spanish Lullaby

A Spanish Lullaby

 

Hey senorita

You’re looking so fine

Hey senorita

I wish you were mine

 

I love you deep

I tell you no lie

My heart to keep

With a Spanish Lullaby

 

No hablais espanol

No way to tell you

How you warmed my soul

How my Love is true

 

I love you deep

I tell you no lie

My heart to keep

With a Spanish Lullaby

 

O woman come to me

Give this gringo a try

Your voice set me free

With a Spanish Lullaby

 

Hey senorita

You’re looking so fine

Hey senorita

I wish you were mine

 

I love you deep

I tell you no lie

My heart to keep

With a Spanish Lullaby

 

Note: Simple and sweet makes it complete.

Lovin In The Oven

Lovin In The Oven

 

Phone rings you tell me you’re working late                         

But baby there are things they just can’t wait                       

I said honey bunny I got dinner steaming hot                       

Tonight is my night or have you forgot?                               

 

Take me make me break me bake me

Oh baby I need some deep lovin’

Oh baby put the bread in the oven

Take me make me break me bake me

 

I only got on your favorite perfume

The red light shining bright in the bedroom

Fantasy baby my mind is flying to places high

You’ll be kissing a lot more than the sky

 

Take me make me break me bake me

Oh baby I need some deep lovin’

Oh baby put the bread in the oven

Take me make me break me bake me

 

In the outer reaches of suburbia we got a bake sale

When true love meets true love one can never fail

She’s needing the dough they’re taking it slow

She opens the door to the oven the fires glow

 

Once is fine but baby twice is real nice

A happy wife makes a good life great advice

You got everything and baby I’ll pay the price

The bread is cooked baby give me a slice

 

Take me make me break me bake me

Oh baby I need some deep lovin’

Oh baby put the bread in the oven

Take me make me break me bake me

A Magic

 A Magic

 

Early to the store the shelves empty              

Saluting the flag but I ain’t free                     

I see in the east the rising son                        

One day they say victory won                       

 

There’s a magic I lean upon

There’s a magic but it’s gone

The sunshine is currently on

There’s a magic but it’s gone

 

Tutoring Daniel he makes us laugh

I’m missing kissing my better half

There’s a rabbit hidden in my hat

I’m a wizard my voice is flat

 

There’s a magic I lean upon

There’s a magic but it’s gone

The sunshine is currently o

There’s a magic but it’s gone

 

I did it once before but no more

Through the years I fear a money whore

In the mirror I covet the score

It don’t matter in endless war

 

There’s a magic I lean upon

There’s a magic but it’s gone

The sunshine is currently on

There’s a magic but it’s gone

 

I got a guitar but all the strings are broken

They say Hey mister you must be jokin’

I got to the chorus before they revolted

I wasn’t hurt but I sure was insulted

 

These lyrics ain’t good they ain’t that bad

Sometimes we’re happy sometimes we’re sad

When did I begin to speak in plural

Use spray paint to make my mural

 

There’s a magic I lean upon

There’s a magic but it’s gone

The sunshine is currently on

There’s a magic but it’s gone

Grace

 Grace

 

You blessed me with the day I’m living                    

Saying son try to be forgiving                                    

Once I walked the winding road                                

The burden of sin a heavy load                                  

 

Grace is free

Grace and mercy

You’ll never desert me

Grace is free

 

Some songs they will never end my friend

There’s another verse around each bend

The wind whistles words of fire

Each note takes us a little higher

 

Grace is free

Grace and mercy

You’ll never desert me

Grace is free

 

Darling it’s almost time to put on your angel wings

The earth of our birth is not what the future brings

Heaven is our home hanging with the King of Kings

In every rhyme there is a crime oh how it stings

 

Faith is just the courage to walk on

One day all we know will be gone

Save the love that we did share

Tomorrow beckons I’ll meet you there

 

Grace is free

Grace and mercy

You’ll never desert me

Grace is free

 

Streets of gold or at least I am told

We’ll be happy never growing old

Time and space lose all meaning

Where every moment is a beginning

 

Grace is free

Grace and mercy

You’ll never desert me

Grace is free

Trouble In Ecuador

 Trouble In Ecuador

 

The Spanish walked right through the Inca’s door                

Like Genghis Khan and sadly so many more                        

A place of grace where the cocaine is pure                           

Tell it sister there’s trouble in Ecuador                                  

 

Trouble in Ecuador

A victim of endless war

People perpetually poor

Trouble in Ecuador

 

Priests came with their Catholic ambition

Defining the missionary position

Men dressed in black criminally scary

On your knees bow to the Virgin Mary

 

Trouble in Ecuador

A victim of endless war

People perpetually poor

Trouble in Ecuador

 

Paradise would be nice but gold is better

We’ll be kind do you mind an iron fetter

And the gods are sleeping just like before

Tell it brother there’s trouble in Ecuador

 

Trouble in Ecuador

A victim of endless war

People perpetually poor

Trouble in Ecuador

 

I want to laugh in the rain and live without pain

I want to be happy and be free from being vain

But there are gringos with capitalistic greed

Those who have plenty take from those in need

 

Quoting Marx the war of the classes

In our part of the jungle nobody passes

This is our own land of that I am sure

Tell it mister there’s trouble in Ecuador.

 

Trouble in Ecuador

A victim of endless war

People perpetually poor

Trouble in Ecuador

Love Don’t Come Easy These Days

 Love Don’t Come Easy These Days

 

Broken down in Gallup Nex Mexico                         

I had driven far with miles yet to go                          

Sleeping with my cat nestled in the van                    

My arms empty aching for a good man                     

 

Love don’t come easy these days

I’m contrary I got wayward ways

Be a good woman momma says

Love don’t come easy these days

 

My head buzzing with new technology

Keep it simple was my philosophy

Cars buzzing by without a single care

When is God going to answer my prayer?

 

Love don’t come easy these days

I’m contrary I got wayward ways

Be a good woman momma says

Love don’t come easy these days

 

Honky-tonk bars only serving stale beer

Me sipping I’m thinking why am I here

In walks a cowboy with too much cologne

Wondering are things so bad on my own

 

Love don’t come easy these days

I’m contrary I got wayward ways

Be a good woman momma says

Love don’t come easy these days

 

Hey there pilgrim there are years before you rest

Hey there pilgrim we’re expecting your best

When you say you love me I want to see you smile

You do love me dearie my it’s been a long while

 

I’m looking for honesty some of the time

I’m searching for poets who can still rhyme

Over the hill but I got the ride down

Come the morning I’ll be leaving this town

 

Love don’t come easy these days

I’m contrary I got wayward ways

Be a good woman momma says

Love don’t come easy these days

Kindness

 Kindness

 

The priest cold and cruel quoted the golden rule                               

God country and king I was the perfect fool                                     

I saw fatal cracks forming in the foundation                                     

In losing everything I found salvation                                   

 

Kindness a lover’s kiss

All the friends I miss

Kindness just short of bliss

Kindness give me more of this

 

Hustling for a buck they wish you good luck

The world ain’t moving forward somehow we’re stuck

You are me and I am you do you get the clue

Love ain’t an idea love is what you do

 

Kindness a lover’s kiss

All the friends I miss

Kindness just short of bliss

Kindness give me more of this

 

Hapy Jack spun a spell with every story

A humble man telling tales of God’s glory

Jesus touched the leper do you understand?

Jesus touched the leper with his own hand

 

Kindness a lover’s kiss

All the friends I miss

Kindness just short of bliss

Kindness give me more of this

 

Sometimes we scream wishing the dream was done

I’ve walked this trail before and it wasn’t any fun

But as long as you stay there close to my side

I don’t think that we will be denied

 

Open your eyes and please tell me what you see

Kindness only comes when you move beyond me

You do your part you when you start from the heart

Kindness is no mystery kindness is an art

 

Kindness a lover’s kiss

All the friends I miss

Kindness just short of bliss

Kindness give me more of this

Quark Soup

Quark Soup

 

I read the Bible at least John three sixteen                

Heard something about a king nothing of a queen     

I’m a man a science a regular physicist                     

Religion is a myth because you can’t prove it           

 

Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in my bowl

Quark Soup nothing is in control

Darwin is right on a Saturday night

Quark Soup it’s out of sight

 

I was smashing atoms in the morning haze

My sexy assistant was lavishing endless praise

I’m sure you’ll win the Nobel prize one of these days

Bob Dylan won it and his voice is out of phase

 

Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in my bowl

Quark Soup nothing is in control

Darwin is right on a Saturday night

Quark Soup it’s out of sight

 

She must have spiked neutrinos in our vino

I was quoting equations floating to and fro

The theory of relativity was feeling flat

I was howling mad sounding like Schrodinger’ s cat

 

Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in my bowl

Quark Soup nothing is in control

Darwin is right on a Saturday night

Quark Soup it’s out of sight

 

They’re having a contest for the best poem twenty bucks

They want rhyming sonnets talking about monster trucks

I got me a bag of stones we’re off to a great start

If our Quark Soup needs meat why I’ll rip out your heart

 

Don’t say love life’s best secrets are kept silent

I look at the world and ask God if He will repent

I’m free of faith it’s a filthy savage disease

But if I’m free of faith why am I down on my knees

 

Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in my bowl

Quark Soup nothing is in control

Darwin is right on a Saturday night

Quark Soup it’s out of sight

The Powder

 The Powder

 

Shadowy faces changing all with charm                   

Shooting up their living into their arm                      

Getting high live or die sound the alarm                    

Walking on the tightwire dismissing harm                

 

Eight damn years in the hole

Eight dark years searching my soul

Dancing with my sin of heroin

The powder it done done me in

 

When you hear that cell door shut that first time

No matter what you did you regret the crime

Ain’t no virgins around hear giving birth

Each day in every way you prove your worth

 

Eight damn years in the hole

Eight dark years searching my soul

Dancing with my sin of heroin

The powder it done done me in

 

Horrors within gives life to horror without

Make the most of my days soon I’ll be out

Yesterday is a lesson for today

Faith is what you do after you pray

 

Eight damn years in the hole

Eight dark years searching my soul

Dancing with my sin of heroin

The powder it done done me in

 

Sweet Jesus this cross is burning in my veins

I have hope but it’s running down the drains

The miracles on cable television are a fraud

But my mind has been touched by the Son of God

 

Think I’ll change my name and write mystery books

Got first hand stories of so many crooks

I’m gonna be big ride some shooting star

But the best gift is knowing who you are

 

Eight damn years in the hole

Eight dark years searching my soul

Dancing with my sin of heroin

The powder it done done me in

Forgotten Faces

Forgotten Faces

 

Red sun rose burning over the blue seas                    

Sugar is sweet and so is the word please                   

I had to ask baby but never twice                              

Come in for some more sin was your advice             

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

Yesterday was more than a song gone wrong

So easy to say why can’t you be strong

Love lost such a cost winter’s bitter frost

Summer loving like a coin that was tossed

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

Making love was easy but words can kill

Wish there was a cure a magical pill

What we had was a hundred one-night stands

Just me and you the two who understands

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

I wish we could have went to an island lost in the ocean

I would build you a golden temple give my devotion

We would swing from the trees and laugh in the breeze

Me for you and you for me and both only to please

 

Freezing wind blowing on these city streets

I’m writing these lyrics counting the beats

Just empty words you were the melody

I’ve got nobody but I still ain’t free

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Southern Lights

 

Southern Lights

 

When the whole world’s coming down on you                

The sky in your soul’s no longer blue                              

Heaven tells love’s story in the night                              

All right you’re all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight                                           

 

Dreams are the currency of the heart

A little from each we do our part

One day truth and love shall reunite

All right it’s all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight                                           

 

There is a grace beyond this temporal space

Searching the universe finding God’s face

The Southern Lights a melody of the muse

If you need a friend I’ll help pay your dues

 

Hold my hand as we walk through this time

A perfect echo giving off rhyme

Come here dear lady I’ll be your knight

All right you’re all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight

Emptiness

Emptiness

 

A green lizard slithers on a wet stone                        

Flies gathering one precious all alone                       

A wicked grin a sinful flick of the tongue                 

Goodbye to the fly no more forever young               

 

Emptiness a vacuum in deep space

Emptiness God has removed His grace

Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control

Emptiness like a banker’s soul

 

Demons screaming sizzling in eternal fire

Angels flying sighing singing with the choir

Before the Judgment Throne standing alone

Kneeling ain’t good enough be humble and prone

 

Emptiness a vacuum in deep space

Emptiness God has removed His grace

Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control

Emptiness like a banker’s soul

 

I’m dancing with the vampires on a Saturday night

If I offer my neck maybe one of them will bite

My blood is toxic contaminated with Mercury

I went to all the doctors none of them could cure me

 

In the leper colony we all revolted

Dirty unclean severely insulted

Marching to Zion we want to see the king

Oblivion is our god we are nothing

 

Emptiness a vacuum in deep space

Emptiness God has removed His grace

Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control

Emptiness like a banker’s soul

 

At the whorehouse my credit was denied

I saw a chick flick the hero crucified

A digital world with digital girls for hire

I am ashes, ashes of the eternal fire

 

Emptiness a vacuum in deep space

Emptiness God has removed His grace

Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control

Emptiness like a banker’s soul

Perfect Dark

Perfect Dark

 

A day when heaven closes their windows                 

It was the grandest of the grandest shows                 

The moon and stars played electric guitars                

The hippies and yippies gathered on mars                 

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

 

Dreams are shadows and life ain’t really real

I missed with my sweet kiss you’re the ideal

The gin makes my head spin I’m too far gone

Baby give me some love to lean upon

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

 

Where is God when the bombs destroy

As bankers laugh in strip bars in mocking joy

Sorry Darwin has some laws that we must enforce

They don’t apply to us you know of course

 

Eggs for breakfast with coffee black and strong

In the perfect dark please play me this song

We’ll walk to the well of infinity

Darling I dare you take that plunge with me

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

 

So lonely Joni plays only sad chords

Miracles of wonder fall under the words

Night goes on but there are rumors of dawn

I walked plucking the weeds from our garden

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

Rewind

 Rewind

 

Chasing dollars you were blind                     

Chasing skirts out of your mind                     

On your deathbed what do you find              

You can’t go back you can’t rewind              

 

Rewind rewind the world is blind

In everything try to be a little kind

Try to leave a lasting gift behind

Rewind rewind the world is blind

 

Mecchanical monstrosities marching to war

Wave the flag brag about Babylon the Whore

Our button is bigger than yours you stupid jerks

My button is bigger than yours and it works!

 

Rewind rewind the world is blind

In everything try to be a little kind

Try to leave a lasting gift behind

Rewind rewind the world is blind

 

Acid shrooms tripping in room seven

Jesus if you’re real I want heaven

Eat drink and be merry tell me why

Because tomorrow you’re gonna die

 

Rewind rewind the world is blind

In everything try to be a little kind

Try to leave a lasting gift behind

Rewind rewind the world is blind

 

And at the moment when life freezes perfectly still

When the light shines that there is more than the kill

That we’re all human beings and money is fiction

And you’re soul collapses in carnal contradiction

 

Rewind rewind the world is blind

In everything try to be a little kind

Try to leave a lasting gift behind

Rewind rewind the world is blind

 

At the cross at the cross at the cross

Every ill begotten gain is a loss

At the cross at the cross at the cross

Hells the wastebasket will you be tossed?

 

Rewind rewind the world is blind

In everything try to be a little kind

Try to leave a lasting gift behind

Rewind rewind the world is blind

A Hurt Lover’s Lonesome Night

  

A Hurt Lover’s Lonesome Night

 

By John Kaniecki

 

Late night hush

Silence transcends to heavenly stars

Eternal lights never knowing sleep

Countless secrets they keep

No horoscope, no divination could give insight

And Allmighty God chose not to speak that night

Just like yesterday

Or the day before

And before and before and before

But one day, some day, we hope for more

 

Ten thousand agonies of a heart broken

Emotions overflowing yet nothing spoken

Except for the screaming of her misty tears

And the sounds of creations that have been echoing for years

It is not that there is no voice

It is that we refuse to hear

And that is by choice

 

Who has not known woe?

Or felt the bitter pain?

That nobody could know

Let alone explain

 

And so she remains in her solitude

Cept for the infinite stars above

And thus we conclude

Keeping in tact the mystery known as Love




POET TO THE POOR, REVOLUTIONARY POETRY

Verisimilitude

Verisimilitude

 

When I was young before I could count time            

The so called priest committed a crime         

Baptized they said Father Son Holy Ghost                

One more for the score their carnal boast                  

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

 

I pledged allegiance to the sacred flag

On the red white and blue I’d boast and brag

I cheered the soldiers as they went to war

A loyal slave of Babylon the Whore

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

 

I learned the lie about Thanksgiving

Playground bullies were unforgiving

United we stand divided we fall

We all must answer the buglers call

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

 

There were cracks in the foundation holes in the ceiling

Late in a sleepless night what was it I was feeling

Capitalism greed it was the American way

Get more money and it’ll all be okay

 

The truth always comes with great sacrifice

My sanity was the costly price

But I can see though I wish I was blind

Seek and I suppose you too will find

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude
