Throwing Shadows

Pinky asked me if I thought she was kinky

I was fully blessed as she undressed

There were tattoos I would never have guessed

She beckoned saying Come on baby ink me

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

We were on LaRue Avenue scoring some dope

Long ago we had given up on hope

The drug dealers were banging at Al’s

When I preach in Jesus’s name we’re pals

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Well Monday morning the alarm clock screams

Pinky sighed then cried I was lost in my dreams

I went to the shower and I forgot to shave

Walking out the door I shouted “please behave”

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Well the house was rocking the circus was in town

The bearded lady was getting it on with the sad clown

I was searching the churches for Pinky deep in prayer

But something told me you’ll get old searching there

In the shadows the black cat hisses

I miss you Pinky and all your wet kisses

You were a demon made from pure shade

Sad to say in the light of day shadows fade

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Zoey Sunshine

Smile

This is me

Crazy and free

Simply divine

Zoey Sunshine

Like the glory in heaven high

I am a piece of art

There is music in my heart

Beating loud

Singing proud

I stand out in the crowd

Cause I got style

Smile

This is me

A wonderful beauty

Finer than fine

Zoey Sunshine

Simple Till Its Not

Dancing in dorm sixty two forgetting you

She laughed saying I’m crazy without a clue

I sighed looked in her eyes and held her tight

Baby maybe you can save me if only tonight

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

We blew up the latex gloves making odd balloons

In the corner gathered beer sipping goons

I twirled you under the magical mirror ball

It was there and then that I knew I had it all

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

The grand leader of the band didn’t understand

If I only I had a love song we’d be in demand

I said sir for all its worth I got a simple tune

I stole the melody from dogs barking at the moon

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

And the tuba went oomph bah oomph op

I was halfway in I couldn’t stop

And the tuba went oomph bah oomph op

I climbed Mount Olympus to the top

Hera was cursing Zeus who was running loose

I needed an ace but I was delt the deuce

I said we live only to die so what’s the use

She said go fetch me another cup of electric juice

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

You Are My World

Seeking words as beautiful as you

But no words would ever do

Who could define a miracle

Or know the essence of the soul

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

In the Book of Love so it’s begun

Man and woman the two are one

With you by my side I have no care

Even in emptiness we had all to share

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

Let’s take a spaceship to some star

Seek the pleasures of distant Jupitar

Heaven is any place we can hide

As long as you’re by my side

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

Let me sing you this love song

Let me kiss away every wrong

When we’re together time stands still

I love you and always will

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

Eye Of The Minotaur

Tis a Revolution (a11)

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution

Rich man sailing on his fancy yacht

People dreaming about what he got

All his workers slaving doing over time

Ain’t against the law but it’s a crime

Rich man better make restitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

The people are talking on the street

A lot of them don’t have enough to eat

Some don’t got shoes to cover their feet

And there ain’t no way to beat the heat

I tell you I know the solution

Come gather round tis a revolution

Rappers they singing the ghetto’s rage

We all agree we gotta turn the page

Right now things aren’t the way to be

God made man and he made man free

Listen to the words of your religion

Come gather round tis a revolution

Atomic powers is sick with nuclear waste

Gives everyone alive a bad taste

The toxic chemicals are beyond awful

For sure that stuff is criminal

The world is dying from our pollution

Come gather round tis a revolution

We understand yes we see

You fill the land with futility

Democrat or Republican

Ain’t neither one to my likin’

What we need is a new constitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution

Making Day Out Of Night

A sad song on the radio

About a lover who had to go

I cried my eyes dry

When you said goodbye

Making day out of night

Whatever it takes I’ll make it right

Jesus turned water into wine

It’s a miracle you were mine

Like an angel you flew away

Guess I had my judgement day

Half my life was an endless search

For a love you’ll never find in church

When I found you I was born again

Never knowing there’d be a final amen

Making day out of night

Whatever it takes I’ll make it right

You’re a rhyme from Shakespeare

But I’m no Romeo I fear

Help me Lord I’ll rewrite the play

In the end forever you’ll stay

Making day out of night

Whatever it takes I’ll make it right

Driving All Night

Woman you mean the world to me and more

I know I’ve never said those words before

Just like I never said “I love you”

But woman I really do love you

I’ve been driving all night

Oh Lord baby I can’t get nothing right

I’m a dirty old dog whose been chasing a bone

I lived a whole lifetime on my own

But you and me we made ourselves a home

It’s the only home I’ve ever known

I’ve been driving all night

Oh Lord baby I can’t get nothing right

So when you said goodbye what could I say

I cried when you said you were going away

I’m out on the road searching for you

It’s the only thing that I could do

I’ve been driving all night

Oh Lord baby I can’t get nothing right

Woman you mean the world to me and more

I know I’ve never said those words before

Just like I never said “I love you”

But woman I really do love you

I’ve been driving all night

Oh Lord baby I can’t get nothing right

Serious Songs

Colorful curvy crescendo

Lustfully laughing letting go

Creativity circling captivatingly

Whirling twirling revolving reality

Somewhere

In the melody of the air

In the space where grace

Kisses my face

In warmth of embrace

To be profound I dare

Of silent sound aware

Magical mystical mystery

Understand the mending hand

Of Theodore transcending history

An ancient relic?

Somewhat psychedelic

Mild insanity

Forbidding vanity

Loose lines of ink

Lavender, fuchsia, pink

A galore of more

The radiant rays of the sun

Reaching everyone

To tiny boxes square

Creatures confined with care

Who, what belongs?

In serious songs

Fantastically fine

Second guessing

Forever possessing

Yet never mine

Now from a distance

Reckless resistance

Be aware

Of spirals in prayer

So I say with pride

Break on through to the other side

Little Black Box

God grand creator of the universe

By whose hand the Earth’s form took

No matter how profound the verse

Could you be contained in a book?

Omnipotent infinite able to do all

To be in a block box ever so small

You’re able to make real the slightest whim

Would you make a home in my poem?

Black and white laws a system of rules

They quote the Bible as perfect fools

Twisting manipulative serving their own end

They mock your Spirit and call you friend

Crystal clear to Love it is to obey

Yet their love is but a word they say

In slavery bound by their sin and desire

They claim the truth but each is a liar

The little black box it sits on my table

Whatever your will it is then able

The little black box I put it on my shelf

I look inside only to find myself

A firefly captured by children in delight

They gaze at the magical mystical light

Your in the black box I have no doubt

Perhaps one day I will let you out

These words perhaps they depict your soul

To show you love yes that is my goal

In a little black box tiny as a star

In a little black box is where you are

Contrast, there is heaven there is hell

You’ll see the difference it is easy to tell

Love is the word written on my heart

In a little black box never to part

In a little black box kept secure

I wish it was something better something more

A little black box they do not understand

From deep within there comes the command

Listen my dear one and yes you’ll hear

But could you hear and not know fear

A little black box convenient in hand

I wonder if you’ll ever understand

Words

Around town the sound found on the street has a funky beat

Rappers and girl slappers struggle for victory or defeat

Politicians pontificate policies perpetuating pure hate

Their truth is lies in disguise how passionately they debate

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

Bums out in the cold surviving from dumpster diving

A chicken in every pot they forgot who they’re jiving

Rich men never go to jail if they fail they pay a fine

See the priest feast he got some line about being divine

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

Put letters together and move your tongue

In fuse the blues a song is sung

Rock and roll refugees with long hair

In the land of the free they don’t care

Debt slaves till we enter our graves

In the end my friend only Jesus saves

Propaganda penetrates a panoply of pretense

Killing and war is evil it’s a matter of common sense

The Vodka is strong you belong if you drink it straight

Don’t wait articulate what you think try to relate

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie
