Songs and Poetry From My Heart

BeautySong

I thought I'd sing, a BeautySong,
in the pastel fires of autumn's sunset,
to quell the flames of my regrets.
But regrets are merely wishes gone wrong,
to such an endeavor, I shan't belong.
So the thought progressed, to what could be,
if I gave to others, the good inside me.
I began to sing, a BeautySong.....
With vibrant voice,
harmony abounds by choice,
these words to which we must belong....
Freedom,
Peace,
Compassion,
Love........
This is, The BeautySong

StoryBook Affair

Why can't love be a storybook affair,
the prince and the princess, magic in the air.
Why can't two hearts beat as one,
each day a new beginning, each day love songs sung.

Yet there's this world in the back of my mind,
and the front of my dreams,
where each day I find, and it always seems,
that when I wake up alone, to face another day,
this house ain't no home....
I need a new place to stay,
I need a new place to stay.

Why can't love be a storybook affair,
the love and the lovers, magic everywhere
like from some black and white movie, in a time of long ago,
where two souls touch truly, and Love's true beauty flows.......

Yet there's this world in the back of my mind,
and the front of my dreams,
where each day I find, that it always seems,
that when I wake up alone, to face another day,
this house ain't no home.....
I need a new place to stay,
I need a new place to stay

It Feels Good

There's misinterpretations floating through my head,
this thought, that,
am I alive or dead...
Social restrictions try to put my mind to bed.
Stop and go and yes and no,
and what was really said.

Who can tell me, who can know,
where the truth lies at, and what I am to show?
Teach to me and preach to me,
your words are all the same,
you inflict me with your standards,
it's just a silly game.

Hell, no,
no, no more.
I won't stay weak, and I won't stay on the floor,
hey, yo,
I'm out the door,
I just can't take it,
no, no more.
To have a mind, then you choose to use it,
to have a power, with a faith that won't abuse it,
to hear good news,
that's coming through,
with the power to lead you on-a,
back to you

To find your own soul, and the mind to refine it,
to wind up whole, and a spirit to define it,
to live life good,
just like you should,
be all you could,
clear conscience true.

It feels good, finding a second choice,
It feels good, I'm speaking in my own voice
It feels good, I'm getting away from the pain,
It feels good being me again

It feels good, I'm getting away from the past,
It feels good being me at last,
I see it all, with message clear coming through,
I'm standing strong, with a heart that is true,
I know my path, and the things in life I must do,
and it feels good...........

Looking For God

Everybody goes looking for God....
Each has their own way, each has their own say,
'bout what they believe
Everybody has the right to their own voice,
the right to their own choice,
and the only absolute is what we call "mystery"
If every little secret were known,
the faith would be pointless, love couldn't be shown,
and no hopes be carried out, life's tests remove the doubt,
'bout who's kind, or not,
You can find a lot,
when conscience comes,
and you suffer not in vain,
cause out of the pain, you can find......
one heart,
one reason,
and one mind.....
Everybody goes looking for the truth,
as only life can show it,
life let's you know it,
as only it can,
when you open up your heart,
dear friend
**************************************************

Star of Love, Shine

I sing to myself, lovesongs in the dark,
the night so alone,
it's always coldest before the dawn....
The sun appears over the horizon like a spark,
lights the day,
I'm on the way to the heart.

Visions you, in promises of two,
here in my silent heart,
(lies) this love of me and you,
so find now this heart,
lying broken in parts,
when ever I wake alone,
first vulnerable, then prone,
to,
shivers from the cold winds of being so far,
from the warmth of the Love Star
As I wait for seasons change,
gentle spring rains,
come lead me back to you,
let your love flow, and shine,
like the Star of Love shines
so shine,
sweet radiant Star of Love, shine,
shine one me

There's a calling to answer,
through reaches of space,
beheld by such beauty,
bring tears to my face,
love lit from heaven,
starlit from above,
come turn my world into a paradise of love that shines,
like the Star of Love shines,
shine,
sweet radiant
Star of Love, shine,
shine on me

And my dreams of you, they hold me through,
as the darkest times are with out you,
as I wait for seasons change,
those gentle spring rains
as I wait for you to come, so I can be done,
then to bask in the rays of the sweet Love Sun,
that shines,
like the Start of Love, just shines,
so shine, sweet radiant Star of Love, shine,
shine on me,
shine on me, shine on me,
shine on me

Injustice is the Shame of Doing Nothing Wrong

A Shot in the Dark is Occasionally a Direct Hit

Closed Minds are like Closed Doors,
Sometimes You Just Gotta' Kick 'em In.

I'm Involved Because I'm Evolved

(recently said to others)

When You Find Your True Integrity,
Only Then Do You See Your Place in the World.

When Love and Humanity Become Second Nature,
You Breathe It In Without Effort, like Fresh Air .

Complicity is worse than the evil it allows,
because your conscience knows the difference,
and demands you stand against what is wrong.

by my father, Alfred Duncan Wilson, a month before he died, and the best advice I ever got anywhere...I don't know his source, but he said...

"Your most valuable possession is your name.
You can't buy a good one and you can't sell a bad one"

***************************************************

Train Into The City

Train into the city, destination, the night
Train on tracks of pity, passengers in flight,
train moves to with rhythm, tracks provide the beat
A steel snake that's living,
and all the dead cargo, just sit in their seats

Where will this ticket take me?
Mr. Conductor, please don't you fake me
Where is the last stop?
Tell me!
Tell me!
I gotta get off this train

Passengers on a time machine,
on schedule to the next stop
Perspectives changing with the scenes,
I'll always remember, what they forgot

Life is like a train, don't ya know,
keeps rolling on down the tracks.
And though return trips you can take, my dear,
you can never really ever,
no never go back

Where will this ticket take me?
Mr. Conductor, please don't you fake me.
Where is the last stop?
Tell me!
Tell me!
I gotta get off this train

****************************************************

Random Words

Random words just cast together,
and they've got the nerve to call it "poetry".
Paint just splattered on a canvas,
is it from an artist, or a child of three,
I really can't tell.
Have we really become so vain,
we now accept paying cash for trash,
what a shame.
And the things that made me glad, now make me sad,
and melancholy,
but that's just part of the game.

The name of the game is insanity,
and all humanity plays.
This time we find we call out rat race days.
And selfish souls with no self-control,
hold only one goal,
some kind of escape.
But there aren't really any that work,
I guess we create our own fate.

And the random words jumbled loosely
profusely flow from warped minds.
And we, who understand the difference,
without resistance,
resign.
*********************************************

Stop!

Hey, there, little one,
when it seems your world's come undone,
you play all day yet nothings fun,
feels like you're always under the gun

So you look up towards the sky,
with a million questions why,
and no one see the tear in your eye,
for all the futures you know will die

Stop!
the world spinning for just a moment
Stop the war, stop the hate,
the postponement...
Stop!
and remember that under earth sun,
from love comes birth, and we all are one

Hey there very old one,
with all the things you've seen and done,
you wonder why thing's have come so undone,
and all you want do is run

So you teach all that you've learned,
to shut minds and doors where lands burned
words of wisdom ignored and spurned,
while peace is still the thing most yearned

Stop!
in your tracks and stand demanding,
for a world of love understanding
Stop!
and give humanity just one more chance,
in joy and in step with life's dance

Hey there, little one,
listen close, a secret comes,
the old one there will show you a path,
and if you listen some good may pass

Then, when the walls fall that divide us,
and we release the beauty inside us
eyes, will see love in thy neighbor,
and pain will pass like a birth's labor

Stop!
The world spinning for just a moment,
Stop the war, stop the hate,
no postponement
Go!
With integrity towards a new day
we must stop and find a new way......
Stop!

Watching Negative Utopias

On the Beach, we’re melting away,
Great God, we’re all through,
Am I "I Robot", too?
Colossus, Metropolis,
Controls what I say and do
Orwell says it’s 84
And I can’t take it any more
There’s a Brave New World,
Waiting for me and you.
Feels like 451 in here,
Even Klattu ran in fear
911 on 911, all this oil just for fun
And all these nuts each have a gun
Watch all this blood just run and run…
Away..
I just want to run away
Dear God, can’t you hear the pleas
Of the innocent who drop down to their knees,
And take a bullet in the head,
They never listened to what you said…..

Hitler and The Jews,
And history now repeats
Jews do unto whom the choose,
And Palestine lies in ruins at our feet
And Hindus die in Pakistan
And Africa is burning land
North Korea kills another man
Just because he wants to stand
And drugs from Latin lands below
All these things just have to go
And Bush and Rush scream from the right,
What’s left in darkness is the light
Failing schools while jobs export
We follow fools of that sort
Just build more jails everywhere
And spit more carbon in the air
We’ve got our cable so just don’t care…
If there’s solutions just tell me where
And I’ll go……
To solve or escape, I swear I’ll go
To end greed, hate and rape, and know
The world just for once the way,
You would have hoped it’d be by now
I’d make it real I don’t know how….
It all ever got to be
A place when only few are free
And God in silence waits above,
For man to learn the gift of Love

On the Beach, we’re melting away,
Great God, we’re all through,
Am I "I Robot", too?
Colossus, Metropolis,
Controls what I say and do
Orwell says it’s 84
And I can’t take it any more
There’s a Brave New World,
No soma kills the pain
Face it all day after day,
And never ever walk away
Still I want to run away
Dear God, can’t you hear the pleas
Of the innocent who drop down to their knees,
And fight for humanity
One day when we all stand hand in hand
And plowshares are forged in every land
And gone are greed and insanity
And you and I can truly be,
Standing on the beach, as free
This is the day I live to see….
‘Til then God sits in silence from above
Waits for us to find one love

It's 5 a.m.

It's 5 am,

the world awakes,

I think of you again, and my body shakes...

and as I give up,

in submission to this fate,

again and again and again,

no matter how long it takes....

In a cup of coffee,

I see my reflection,

a tear in silence on my cheek my detection

and as I give out,

in submission to this fate,

again and again and again,

no matter how long my heart breaks.....

I'm reaching out to you,

to love you like none before,

can't you see this love true?

I'm reaching in to your soul,

to break through all locked doors,

until we both lose control....

I'm reaching out for your heart,

can't you feel my love as it moves?

As the sun breaks the night,

and I greet a new day,

I remember why I fight for love to come then stay

And as I give up,

in submission to this fate

again and again I wait

no matter how long it takes

I shut my eyes,

yet can't escape your face,

this tear I realize reminds me of the empty space

and as I resolve,

to pick up and carry on,

again and again and again,

no matter how long.....it takes

I'm reaching out to you,

to love you like none before,

can't you see this love is true?

I'm reaching into your soul,

'til we're complete,

and love makes us whole,

what else can I do?

I reaching out for your heart,

can't you feel my spirit move?

It's 5 0 1, and the world awakes...

I think of you again.......

Come Hither Here

Come hither here me Bonnie Lass,

and let me feel your hand...

The winds are hard, and I am scarred,

by the wrongs I'd to withstand...

But stand I do, and even now,

with faith and love untold,

and if I could, you know I would,

you hand I'd take and hold

Love, love, is all we lack,

and all we truly need...

To stand so true, and make it through,

to the place we want to be...

Love, love, is we all must have,

it's the treasure of the soul,

and we find it in each others' eyes,

when we live, let life unfold...

Come hither here, me Bonnie Lass,

come take now my hand,

and we'll both stand firm, we'll live and learn,

and the hard winds we'll withstand...

And stand we will, from now until, we both grow old and die,

and in the ground, we'll hear this sound,

as we lay there side by side....

Love, love, is all they knew,

and all they ever had...

and hand in hand, their children stand,

against hard winds, not sad..

The lessons learned from a Bonnie Lass,

and her light and love, her man

served them well, and this truth I tell...

this you must understand....

Love, love, is all we need,

it's the best thing we can give...

and by good heart, and in good deed,

that legacy will live...

Love, love, is we have,

it's the treasure of the soul

So find your love, and stand your ground,

Come hither, here, and hold

To the love that's in your soul

Sunrise

The sunrise was so beautiful,

as it was coming up over the trees

My mind was set on being free,

it was playing with the birds and the bees...

I decided to talk a walk that morning,

to see what I could see

my heart is my compass and my shoes are my home,

taking life, naturally

Sunrise............

as the world cycles round once again

Sunrise.............

as we're hurled there's a sound that never ends

Sunrise...............

You can surf gravity and never fall

Sunrise................

and Eternity doesn't take too long at all

Sunrise.... Sunrise..... I'll answer the call

The Sunrise was so beautiful,

as it was coming up over the sea

waves rythum reprise, I realize,

in the end I'm just who I'm supposed to be

I decided to stop and rest a while,

smile at all I've seen

The good and the bad, the happy and sad

taking life, naturally

Sunrise..............

Can say volumes without a word

Sunrise..............

The best silence ever heard

Sunrise..............

The world spins around once again

Sunrise...............

Single step to a dance that don't end

Sunrise.... Sunrise.....

my friend

Working In The Heat Of The Day

Heat of the day, money made by sweat

I'd pray for rain, but I'm already wet

Heat of the night, and I can't even sleep

I'm burning with promises made I must keep

It goes on and on and on,

and it takes way too long

to reach simple goals,

to sing a victory song

It goes on and on and on,

but I guess it's all okay

Somehow I feel whole

in the heat of the day

Hard work and respite,

famine and feast and inbetween

I could say the same for desolate cold,

these are just the things I've seen

And working in a heat wave,

like a fast track to a grave

Life so good can get so mean,

pennies earned with so few saved

And it goes on and on and on,

in the furnace is the working man

to forge out a better life

for wife, for kids, he must stand

and it goes on and on and on

and somehow it'll all be okay

and it always seems to long

working in the heat of the day

*******************************************

You & I

You and I, will never find the deepest parts,

until, we try,

to to touch the sky, to reach the shores,

to stand, side by side,

live and love, like in days gone by

You, and I, must walk the path,

to reach the end,

to see, eye to eye,

to build this love and make it last,

to stand side by side,

just like love was in days gone by

When we lived, when we touched,

when we gave, no matter how hard or how much,

when we laughed, when we cried,

when we stood even when we died

when we held, held on strong,

even though if felt as if it all took too long,

So we reach, reach inside,

just to try

to find the way back to a world gone by.....

You and I, join as one

just like that day, we came, to say,

standing side by side, we made, a vow, to stay,

the way we are right now, inside,

just like love was in days gone by

When we knew, what we know,

and were true, true enough to show

show the love , deep inside, that we share,

and never fear or hide,

now I pledge, as do you, to face this life,

and see everything through,

til we reach, the very end,

and our days go by for a message to send,

to the ones, who follow, and

will make days gone by never end
