A friend of love,
Yes this is true,
I become more aware of it,
I hope you do too..
At first I would say,
I love, love itself,
But how can anyone say such a thing,
Without first being a friend of love first,
To recognize its own existence.
When I was a baby,
I was unconditionally loved,
It didn’t matter a thing,
I could crap my pants,
And there was an,
Oh, did you do a little poo-poo,
That’s so cute..
Yet the older I get,
The less of that kind of love I get,
That is from a some one else..
I was excepted and loved,
For simply being in existence,
And I never forgot that love,
What happened to every one else?
You see,
I got not a one thing against you,
But only this,
Whatever it is you got against me,
Is what I have against thee..
For I love, and admire you,
With a deep essence,
Believe this,
Have no guessing,
My gratitude of your living,
I do not take for granted,
You all are a lantern,
For my ether,
As well,
I hope it’s in a reverse for you,
That I’m a lantern too,
For I will not look up,
With the clasped hands to above,
For I am already,
A friend of love…

Appreciation
Brings me into liberation
My adornment of you
The memories I’ll keep
Inside all of me
Of the beauty you do
How long does it take
To appreciate
All of you?
Not long at all
If my mind doesn’t fall
Into taking you for granted
But I’ll not do that to you
I have a grand flavor
That I do and shall savor
There’s no debate
Within my minds eye
I have dined
In the eye of my mind
With the best flavors
And the grandness of you
It is good to know your diversity
Filled with harmony
It wows me to see
How things can be
I’m in a labyrinth
Of blooming amazement
I’m not sure I want to get through
For each blossom
Is creating its own aroma
I realize that I’m not alone here
In this wonderful maze that blooms
Each one of you
Has somehow tickled my funny bone
I feel now more than ever
Closer to my home
I know I’m an odd one
Yet in a good way
But I must say
That I’m more thankful this day
And more in love
With each and everyone of you
I just wanted you to know that
And that I love and appreciate
All of you
Thank you

Charlatan,
Hi, and hello my old friend
How long have you been around again
You crept up on me
I didn't notice that you came back again..

Well, Ryan my old friend,
From afar I could see
That you were in a mystification
So I came back for an old relation
So that you wont bust your mind
I came back for your relaxation..

Charlatan, I hate to disappoint you on this
But as I've spoke with you before
I really don't care for your business
And you wont help me on a relaxation my guest
So you may stay for a moment or so
But then you must go..

But my old friend
I thought you liked me again
For I heard your call
And you know me Charlatan,
Can be the fairest to you of all..

Yes Charlatan, you are beautiful
And in the past
You got me out of many troubles
But I realized that if I started with you
I depended on you more and more
To cover me in my first steps,
And you became heavy
Full of wait
I could no longer carry you anymore
You know it was hard for you to get through my door..

Ah, Ryan,
But look at me now
I've turned very beautiful this hour,
With my long hair
And smooth skin so fair
I'm light as a feather for you
And I'm your favorite shape too
Why do you want to push me along?
Have I really done you that much harm?

Ha-ha, Charlatan yes you have
You have done me horribly bad
I know you might think it sad
But I am glad
To see you no longer do I have,
So be on your way Charlatan
I will have no part in
Another love affair
Go on your way
I have no idea what brought you here
But let this be clear
Be gone from me
Never should you ever come close you see
Just forget that I am
And leave this man
Is that clear Charlatan?

Yes, Ryan and I shall let you be
But I tell you know that there are more than just me
So if you can't handle me
My sister will come along to seduce thee,
So never more shall you see me,
But you will have a hard time with identifying my sisters
I know Facade is on her way
This very day
To play with you
In the truth
But you will not know
Who she is
But she goes by another name
And you know not her face
So, ha-ha!!
To you
And good riddance too..

Charlatan!!
You forget I know who you are,
And I have traveled afar
And as far as Facade coming to me
It's only you
I know this truth
Buh-bye
Charlatan..

Damn it Ryan!!
I'll find a way
To play
And get you again
I never quit
We'll meet again..

Well fuck you Charlatan, Facade, or whom ever youll be!!!
Get your hell-ness out of my house!!!
You are no longer allowed!!!
And when I recognize you!!!
I'll slay your throat!!!
I'm warning you!!!
I do not stand alone!!!

Dont you know your fighting things you cannot see?
But pointing the finger to blame at one who is seen.
Dont you know the enemy is within?
Its not with some other man.
Never mind the things I say.
I forget you dont want to hear it anyway.
So for me Ill become silent.
The way you like it.................

.
Entertain me,
So that I may be,
Distracted from
My heart and mind of me
Put me at work
Give me something to do
Because I can't do nothing
And face the truth
You see for me
When it gets to quiet
And oh my friend
I cannot deny it
The truth comes out
Really loud
So give me something
That will divert me
Be it even a book
Or magazine
Or the lady
Who flirts with me
I know what I'll do
I'll blare the radio
So I'm not alone
And when I'm there
I'll watch the boob
Yes the boob tube
And free my mind
In TV land
That will keep me
From thinking
Entertain me I say
I cannot face the truth
Another day
It bears its claws
Within my head
And says
Hey boy!!
You need to
Look at this here!!
The dogmatic
I threw out the window
Quit pushing me
Haven't I seen enough to see?
Let me play in a pleasure bath
And be like the others
Please at last?
What's so wrong with them?
Any who?
Oh wait
Forget I just asked
Another question
That I've already passed
I don't want to go
Through the maze again
I just need to be entertained
So that I can get
Some sleep my friend
Divert me
Flirt with me
Dance and sing with me
Just simply do anything
That will keep me away
Away from my brain
Here it is simply put
I enjoy myself I do say
I see no reason I shouldn't
Any way
But I say
Entertain me,
So that I may be,
Distracted from
My heart and mind of me
And the truth that be
For all to see

Hey you.
Who said that?
Me.
And who are you?
I.
What does that mean,
And why bother me?
Await.
Await for what?
Quietly.
Quietly about what?
You.
You who?
Me.
The me of who?
I.
I don't understand.
I know you're just a man.
So what are you saying?
Be still and listen.
I am still,
I am listening.
No you're not,
You want to see.
I want to see what?
Me.
Who are you the me?
You're getting it.
I'm getting what?
You'll see.
You said it's about listening.
It is you're seeing.
I'm seeing what?
Me.
I still don't understand.
Because you're on the land.
What land?
Mass my friend.
Mass of what?
You.
Stop playing with me!
Whos playing,
Surely not me.
Go away you make no sense!
That's because you're of the scenes.
Stop it!
Stop what?
Go away I say.
I cannot.
Why can't you?
Because I am in you.
Just forget it.
Why?
Because you're a crippling.
I cripple not!
You have me,
Let us reason.
Reason on what?
Me in you.
What?
Why do you wrestle with me?
Because I might not believe.
Believe in what?
You in me.
What is it that you need?
You and to see.
You have me.
But I don't see.
Stop your want,
And youll see.
I don't know what I want.
Than stop be silent.
Silent on what?
Me.
Ok.
Dont want.
Dont want what?
Anything.
So you say,
OK...

Run,
Run,
I've heard the gun,
It blares all around
I'll fix my problems
I'll shove them way down
Get away from me,
So I flee.
Run,
Run,
Lets have some fun,
Forget of the troubles,
That venom within me,
Let me play,
Let me be free,
Run,
Run,
I cant hold my energy,
I'ts the splinter of me,
Can't you see?
I must move around,
So Im not found,
The battle rages within.
But you wouldn't know it,
With my mask of my raisin',
Run,
Run,
I must be free,
What in the hell is this,
Which slowly kills me?
Run,
Run,
The blades of truth,
Are on their way,
To do me under,
This very day.
Run,
Run,
Let me drink myself in,
I can't take the sting,
Of the truth of being.
The holy, and unholy wars,
Which fight is right?
Isn't a fight in any manner a fight?
They all bring death,
And blind the light.
But let us,
Run,
Run,
And do ourselves in,
What do we care,
We have the only one,
Who takes away sin,
Ha-ha-ha.
If this be true,
Then fuck a new soul,
Let it goForget about a heart of gold,
And the traditions told,
Run,
Run,
Run,
Let us build from the outside in.
Instead of cleaning the vessel within.
All we need is roofs,
Forget about the foundation,
And what the hell is a real relation?
Run,
Run,
Run,
I've heard the gun,
But Im crippled ya see,
All I can doIs change that which is within,
Me...

Come out my love, into the sun,
it's time to have true love, with one.
It's not a thing of pride, you will see,
to not have to run and hide, but simply truly be.
And yes I know your feeling all alone, within yourself,
but complete independence, well, it doesn't exist.
You want a relationship, that has no ties,
and if you keep going that way, you'll end up alone, and that's no lie!!!
All I see right now, is that you hide, your killing yourself, with your double life.
Now here's what we can do, to ease the pain, you come, trust in me and truly be my friend.
I've done no harm to you, what do you hold against me.
Or is it true my love, your just scared of a good thing?
Well, it's your life, and it's your choice.
You know I'm loving you, but that's not enough.
You see, it takes two, in the truth, to have a relationship,
and the choice remains up to you.
My love, yes my love, mmm my love, don't you want to be my love?

Tree
Will you speak to me?
You have a knowledge I see,
For how long you will exist
No one will know,
But something made you
So that you may grow,
Yet in the wintertime you lose your leaves
And in the spring they return even more beautifully,
You do exactly what you’re created for
Tell me how I may do the same,
Make the same score..
///
So I sit my rump
Next to its stump
Ready for its speech
Or some explanation for me,
And I wait,
And I wait,
I have to leave,
And come back the next day,
And I wait,
And I wait,
This last for weeks,
Then finally the tree speaks to me..
///
Little one
So it says,
You want to know the things of the unsaid,
Why do you wait at my stump?
Do you really think I shall give the answer you want?
You are a piece of mankind
You are but a young bud,
A little runt..
///
Oh thank the goodness that is,
You can answer the question that I’m tangled with
For I walk about
And within the depths of me
There is something amiss
And I don’t know what it could be,
Would you tell me,
Old great tree?..
///
Young one,
The tree did speak,
Are you sure you want me to speak this great truth you ask of me?
It looks as if that’s a yes I see,
Well there was a great man whom said you must be born again
It’s what you have to do to live fully true,
Here is how I did it, I’ll explain it to you, you’ll see,
I came from another,
And fell upon this ground
Made my way with the rain into where I’m found,
I was doing great,
At least as far as I did think,
But I merely was a nut
Crazy you see,
Then I lost myself
And split wide open
And what do you know
I started growing
Into what it is
That you see this day
But if I didn’t loose myself
I’d still be a nut,
Not knowing it,
Useless
But for the creatures to eat me away,
So I have revealed the answer to your question,
Did I make it clear to you?
Are you still in a guessing?..
///
No old wise tree
I do believe I see
Until I let go and loose myself
I’ll remain a nut
Crazy,
And when I finally let me go
Is when I actually start to grow,
Be reborn if you will,
As the wisest of man said,
He was the follower of the only one who needed not to be lead..
There is only one thing that remains to be said,
Am I in the fresh ground?
Or am I found on a stone?
For if I loose myself
If I’m not on fresh ground
I’ll only become comatose..
The tree with a loud laugh I must say
Said this that day,
Now what would it matter
If you became that way
You wouldn’t know it if it were to happen any way,
The best thing to do
Is to do as you have been requested
For obviously it is of you
Just think about it,
Think about whom you’re talking to,
You’re a nut
Just waiting to split
Because
You’re talking to me
What you call
The tree…

Yo ho there she goes the bubble in my mind and then she popped and left me behind,
but never fear came near to see the sun ,
and how it runs and how we fly night and day a trillion miles an hour through out time and space.
But what brings us down is our own doubts,
so ho let it out, go on shout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yo ho said the crow and where do we go from here.
Up or down or all around or perch upon this peer.
Await hey!!!!
Dont be late, the end is always near.
To lower your head is the spoken unsaid,
Why must you go there?
So opened mind unbinds the gold did speak here.
Open fields did appear wile the man boy stood near.
Nervously shaken but completely awakened he waited for to hear.
The boy man gave uncut loaves of bread to those who said his name and in return he gave never for it in vain.
He turned to him and saw through his sin the mans arms were opened wide.And in a second without any guessing the man disappeared into the light.
