Will you like to watch the sunrise
Will you have blue or brown eyes
What are the dreams you long to share
I hope you like Stevie Wonder
Are you afraid of thunder
I close my eyes and say a prayer your out there somewhere
I've been waiting all my life for you
I've been wishing on every shining star
I've been watching out of my window
Wondering where you are Wondering where you are
My heart's my only treasure
I've been saving it for your pleasure
I can't wait to give my heart to you
We'll walk this road together
That leads us to forever
I close my eyes and say a prayer your out there somewhere
Too many nights alone
And this house won't be a home until I'm with you
I've been waiting all my life for you
I've been wishing on every shining star
Wondering where you are Wondering where you are
Wondering where you are Wondering where you are

I've been having dreams the past few days about hoping to find someone to share life with and this is how i feel. Ok I'm done

I'd give anything to see
a little Christmas tree
And to hear, hear the laugher
of children playing in the snow
To kiss my baby, under the mistletoe.

But I can't promise my eyes this sight
Unless they stop the fight
Cause I'm a prisoner of war
Lying here in my cell, hoping
my family is well
Wish they wouldn't worry so much about me
Just try to get us home, in time for the
Christmas tree.

Listen, oh yeah, ooo, I want to see
snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Ooo, I want to hear jingle bells ring,
want to hear jingle bells ringing
But I can't promise my eyes this sight
unless they stop the fight.

Ooo, ooo, ooo . . . If I can't make it home in time
I know you'll be keeping my spirit bright
By wearing my name and trying to stop this fight
Ah, but I'd give anything to see you
the family. . .
and that little Christmas tree.

Ooo, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Oh, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Yes, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Ooo, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus . . .

trembling like naked branches, sleep beckons me.
i smile; slowly sinking and giving up to the arms of sleep.
i decorate myself with ideas of tomorrow.
mountains of essays consume me , but i should stop with ideas like this
because they slip me back into sanity.
a stream of memories passes by me.
i fall into the arms sleep.

"I'm an all day sucker
Coming to give something to get nothin'
I'm an all day sucker
Coming to give something but to get none of your love"



and


"Ahora me encuentro aquí en mi soledad
Pensando qué de mi vida será
No tengo sitio dónde regresar
Y tampoco a nadie quiero ocupar.
Si el destino me vuelve a traicionar
Te juro que no puedo fracasar
Estoy cansado de tanto esperar
Y estoy seguro que mi suerte cambiará
Y ¿cuándo será?"

When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call
Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove
for the first time in my life, I see I need love
There I was giggling about the games
that I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names
Then the thought occured, tear drops made my eyes burn
as I said to myself look what you've done to her
I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels
all I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal
Playing make believe pretending that I'm true
holding in my laugh as I say that I love you
Saying amor kissing you on the ear
whispering I love you and I'll always be here
Although I often reminsce I can't believe that I found
a desire for true love floating around
Inside my soul because my soul is cold
one half of me deserves to be this way till I'm old
But the other half needs affection and joy
and the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy
I need love
I need love

Romance sheer delight how sweet
I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete
You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and huddle
I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle
I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat
kiss you on the cheek and say ooh girl you're so sweet
It's deja vu whenever I'm with you
I could go on forever telling you what I do
But where you at you're neither here or there
I swear I can't find you anywhere
Damn sure you ain't in my closet, or under my rug
this love search is really making me bug
And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen
take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean
Fantasy's can run but they can't hide
and when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside
I need love
I need love

I wanna kiss you hold you never scold you just love you
suck on you neck, caress you and rub you
Grind moan and never be alone
if you're not standing next to me you're on the phone
Can't you hear it in my voice, I need love bad
I've got money but love's something I've never had
I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all
I love you more than a man who's 10 feet tall
I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes
we're so in love when we hug we become paralyzed
Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal
you're as soft as a pillow and I'm as hard as steel
It's like a dream land, I can't lie I never been there
maybe this is an experience that me and you can share
Clean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wet
I swear to you this is something that I'll never forget
I need love
I need love

See what I mean I've changed I'm no longer
a play boy on the run I need something that's stronger
Friendship, trust honor respect admiration
this whole experience has been such a revelation
It's taught me love and how to be a real man
to always be considerate and do all I can
Protect you you're my lady and you mean so much
my body tingles all over from the slightest touch
Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time
till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
If I find you girl I swear I'll be a good man
I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive
I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive
I'll search the whole world for that special girl
when I finally find you watch our love unfurl
I need love
I need love

Girl, listen to me
When I be sittin in my room all alone, staring at the wall
fantasies, they go through my mind
And I've come to realize that I need true love
and if you wanna give it to me girl make yourself seen
I'll be waiting
I love you

Some will tell you that you're wrong
You do it all the wrong way
Some will tell you that you're wrong
That you don't know the way
They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Don't let them bother you no
They enjoy the cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Oh no

It's no use sitting down
Don't walk round with a frown
Oh no (aah) keep looking
It's no use sitting around
With your head in your hands
Oh no keep looking

Say let my life alone

Some will tell you that you're wrong
You do it all the wrong way
Some will tell you that you're wrong
That you don't know the way

They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Don't let them bother you no
They enjoy the cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Oh no

It's no use sitting down
Don't walk round with a frown
Oh no (aah) keep looking
It's no use sitting around
With your head in your hands
Oh no keep looking

Oooh
Aah
Keep looking
Oooh
Aah
Keep looking

Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Thinking about your problems
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Keep looking
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your problems
Thinking about your troubles
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your problems
Keep looking

Keep looking

If you never let it show
They're never gonna know
Aah Aah
Keep looking

If you never let it show
They're never gonna know
Aah Aah
Keep looking

He told me sweet lies of sweet love
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
Fourteen years he said
I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungrey for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As i reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo

I am the one that will rip your heart out
I am the one that will drink your blood
I am the one that will splatter it
Across my face
While it is still hot

I am the one in every dark corner
I am the one that follows you around
I am the one that shades the day
Like a corona
Without a sound

And your world will falter
Yeah, your world will end
I will take you
To another world
And we will be friends

Robin sings
Robin sits
In an attic
And Herman wants
Herman wants
To be somewhere else
Someone shouts
At the bottom of the stairs
Yelling about how
It's rude to exclude yourself
Like it's not rude
To shame your son
In front of everyone


I don't love you
I always hated you
And hated, hated, hated
How you flip the pages
Of your precious books
Your fucking pristine books
So I tore a page out
Every one of them
And glued them to my wall
I read and I read
But there's no story here
There's no story here
There's no story

If only knew
How much it meant
To moon you
Ass to glass
Ass to glass
And a tram drove by
And we walked off
Into the night

And now the building's down
Like I am down
And only chipmunks can save me
Chipmunks n mohawks
Like the buzzard in my window
Tearing out the pigeon's
Insides



And Freddy said, sorry love
But you need to sleep
Your mama will wake you up
And take you
To where you wanna be

Mama will wake you up
With the coffee machine sounds
And smells of the 80's
And Maria will ignore you on the stairs
But that won't matter
She's grow to love you
One day
Just wait
Get your bag
And pack your books
Drive to school
Drive to school
All on your own today
Around the corner
Through the trees

And while you drive away
You will be leaving me
Drive, drive, drive away
But take a part of me
©J. Faulkner

“Robin Red Breast”


When the nest falls from the highest
Hitting every branch on it’s way down
Smashing into obstacles left, right and centre
Will they shatter on contact with below?

With clipped wings desperate to begin
The need becomes greater in emergencies
And the screams of assistance get louder
The closer they speed towards the end

Dropping to the ground with bounces and rolls
Tiny stars rotate around confused little minds
Frantic flaps all in vain as they end up going nowhere
They are not safe with panicked running and crawls

With hands doing everything
Except being helpful
You know that when you surround this little soul
That he cannot fly straight upwards

With a sky mocking and stretching miles above
Spin look in every direction
Tiny heart beats treble quick
As the ground gets smaller and closer

A flap fast fright
To beat twist hide…
When the red chest no longer directs the breath inside.
So where will he go to survive?

"Broken"


When the lights burn bright at the height of your fires
And below seems so far away
Please remember that I may still be down there somewhere-
Lost and wishing that I didn't have to stay

When the sticks and stones no longer touch your bones
And so there's no reason to always phone
Please remember that I'll probably still be sitting there-
Waiting patiently for you to call home

And when the parties and invites get thrown at your feet
And all the fabulous that you may meet
Please spare a thought for the one that is caught
Stuck indoors, weakened by the sound of a street

With tilted brim smiles and recently tagged clothes
You stride fast with the beautiful and bold
So there's no need to look back at all the second-hand crap
And that includes me who's still so broken and old.

Yeah, that about says it.


That was beautiful, btw.

You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from
me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it

Raze said:

Thanks- glad you liked it and could relate too.
Remember the broken can always be mended...or something?

A lot of things have happened
Since the last time we spoke
Some of 'em are funny
Some of 'em ain't no joke
And I trust you will forgive me
If I lay it on the line
I always thought you were a friend of mine

Sometimes I think about you
I wonder how you're doing now
And what you're going through

'Cause the last time I saw you
We were playing with fire
We were loaded with passion
And a burning desire
For every breath, for every day of living
And this is my Thanksgiving

Now, the trouble with you and me, my friend
Is the trouble with this nation
Too many blessings, too little appreciation
And I know that kind of notion - well, it just ain't cool
So send me back to Sunday school
Because I'm tired of waiting for reason to arrive
And it's too long we've been living
These unexamined lives

I've got great expectations
I've got family and friends
I've got satisfying work
I've got a back that bends
For every breath, for every day of living
This is my Thanksgiving

And have you noticed that an angry man
Can only get so far
Until he reconciles the way he thinks things ought to be
With the way things are?

Here in this fragmented world, I still believe
In learning how to give love, and how to receive it
And I would not be among those who abuse this privilege
Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge
And I don't mind saying that I still love it all
I wallowed in the springtime
Now I'm welcoming the fall

For every moment of joy
Every hour of fear
For every winding road that brought me here
For every breath, for every day of living
This is my Thanksgiving

For everyone who helped me start
And for everything that broke my heart
For every breath, for every day of living
This is my Thanksgiving

You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry

So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away



ish

I'm telling you that, oh, oh-ooh, wo-o-wo!
I like it - like it this (I like it like this, I like it like this) -
So keep it steady, like this. (I like it like this)
And you should know - you should know by now:

And then you hold me tight, you make me feel all right.
Yes, when you hold me tight, you made me feel all right.

Whoa, honey, can't you see? Don't you believe me?
Oh, darling, darling, I'm callin', callin':
Can't you see? Why won't you believe me?

There you are, cryin' again
But your loveliness won't cover your shame
There you are, you're takin' true love
And while you're takin' true love, you given the blame

(How could I ...) Could I be so wrong
To think that we could get along?
Days I wasted with you, child
If I count there'll be a million or two
Now I stand alone through the memories
That haunts me, that haunt
Yeah, and I walk alone through the rhapsodies
That taunts me, that taunts me, me

There you are, cryin' again
But your loveline-ness won't cover your shame
There you are, you're takin' true love
And while you're takin' true love, given the blame

(How could I ...) How could I be so wrong

That haunts me, that haunts (... me)
And I walk alone through the rhapsodies
That taunts me, that taunts me

Now, there you are, cryin' again
But your loveline-ness won't cover your sham-ame, hey
There you are, you're takin' true lo-love
While you're takin' true lo-love, given the blame

(How could I ...) How could I ...

It's true

You're mine
In innumerable ways I can't describe,
that digs up bones I can no longer hide,
You're mine.

I'm yours,
And they'll witness it from the pews,
how I will cherish, honor, and protect you,
I'm yours,

NOTHING.
On god's green earth will come between us,
nothing to prevent your lips around my penis,
your lips around my penis,
your lips around my penis,
Nothing.

It's true.


--imago 2008

My face to the sky
Dreaming about just how high
I could go and I'll know
When I finally get there

Taking of my glasses
Sun pokes through my lashes
And somehow I know
There's a time for every star to shine

Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child

People keeping score
Say better hurry up and get yours
Cause somebody else get your spot
Before you even dropped

Seek and you shall find
Everything in my own sweet time
I'll take my chances
With what I believe is only mine

Busy holding on
So the roof don't fly
Keep you from moving on
So get it right
Turn the tide over
Like a love song
Like a butterfly
Believe if you hand it over
You'll come out all right

Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child

Illuminate the silly things
Shed some light on all that's wrong
Everybody need it sometime
Sometimes the only thing you got
Is what makes you feel like
You're something else altogether
You have everything don't need
Another reason to be something
I've been on a ride
And caught up in the landslide
But I'm gonna spread my wings and fly...

Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child

There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star...

Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in
Make belivin' is hard alone,
Out here on my own
We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin' for that risin' star
To guide me far and shine me home,
Out here on my own.

When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me,
Baby, belong to me
Help me through, help me need you.

Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears
I dry the tears I've never shown,
Out here on my own.

When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me,
Baby, belong to me
Help me through, help me need you.
Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in.
I may not win but I can be strong,
Out here on my own, on my own.

"Quien me va a entregar sus emociones?
Quien me va a pedir que nunca le abandone?
Quien me tapara esta noche si hace frio?
Quien me va a curar el corazon partio?
Quien llenara de primaveras este enero,
y bajara la luna para que juguemos?

Quien me va a curar el corazon partio?"

Who will ask me to never leave them?
Who will cover me tonight if it's cold?
Who is going to cure my broken heart?
Who will fill this January with spring?
And bring down the moon so that we could play?
Tell me if you're leaving. Tell me, my darling.
Who will cure my broken heart?)

she spread herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
i now know the depths i reach are limitless
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
