Unspoken Rush – Collaboration w/ Sakshi

Stumbling in and out
A blurry vision stuck in the corner
Moments ripped at the seams
Strangers on the edge of thirst
There was a rush
Some unspoken urgency
His alluring eyes dripped desire
Intoxicated with need
Thoughts unraveled
Urges climbing to the top
Animalistic hunger bitten
Senses enhanced
A throbbing pain
Engulfed her senses
Enthralled and smitten
By his glance
Intensity bursting
Hidden gliding hand
Slightly revealing
Inevitable attraction
Both were in trance
Captive in each other’s arms
Heaving and breathing
Forgetting all moral qualms
Deep thrusts of fire
Like a train in a tunnel
Torn clothes
Devouring velvet
Their night of passion
Met the break of dawn
They savored each moment
And moaned to climax

Something About This

(1st Verse)
I’ve been chasing rainbows in the dark
As you pull the strings on my heart
Wondering where can I turn
I’ve been misled by the curves of your words
As I stand in the quicksand of the hurt
Wondering if I will ever learn
CHORUS:
I’ve leaned in too far, too quick and too fast
Something about this tells this wasn’t built to last
I’ve ignored the logic and leaned toward all the emotions
Something about this tells me you aren’t about devotion
Something about this tells me you are already gone
Something about this tells me I’m not wrong
(2nd Verse)
I’ve been running against my intuition
Finally seeing something inside is missing
Wondering if I will ever see the message
I’ve been walking alone hand in hand
Finally seeing you won’t ever understand
Wondering if I’ve asked all the right questions
CHORUS:
I’ve leaned in too far, too quick and too fast
Something about this tells this wasn’t built to last
I’ve ignored the logic and leaned toward all the emotions
Something about this tells me you aren’t about devotion
Something about this tells me you are already gone
Something about this tells me I’m not wrong
Bridge:
And the walls are caving in
You are no where to be found
And when things seem to get tough
You are not around
And the pain seeps further in
You twist the story every time
And our world seems to fade
You seem to leave my mind
(2x) CHORUS:
I’ve leaned in too far, too quick and too fast
Something about this tells this wasn’t built to last
I’ve ignored the logic and leaned toward all the emotions
Something about this tells me you aren’t about devotion
Something about this tells me you are already gone
Something about this tells me I’m not wrong
Stand in your love – Josh Baldwin

Strangers and Lovers – Collaboration

I didn’t mean to fall for your
magnificent intellect and brilliant eyes
I didn’t mean to fall for your
stunning curves and accent
I didn’t mean to fall for your
innocent laugh and magnetic charm
I didn’t mean to fall for your
echoing fortress and wide skies
I didn’t mean to fall for your
lips of ecstasy and golden tongue
I didn’t mean to fall for your
luscious skin and blissful scent
I didn’t mean to fall for your
beloved moon and drops of silver
I didn’t mean to fall for your
desirous flame and solid wick
I didn’t mean to fall for your
intoxicating personality
still we have no control over destiny
and luck is not the same as fate.
Reflections blending through a window
lovers and strangers, the cruelest fate.
My heart is a bird trailing its shadow
Its course charted and true</
I never meant to fall,
but I’ve fallen like the night for you.

Fifty Years

(1st Verse)
Remember when
I wrote I love you on a napkin
Remember when
You read it and you couldn’t stop laughing
Remember when
We danced in the pouring rain in our lawn
Remember when
I said “Look at you baby, you got it going on.”
CHORUS:
After fifty years
You know nothing has changed
After fifty years
Still in love, can’t get enough,
All this love and passion remains.
(2nd Verse)
Remember when
We made love on the kitchen floor
Remember when
We played hide and seek in the grocery store
Remember when
We listened to Chesney on those summer nights
Remember when
we talked until the morning light
CHORUS:
After fifty years
You know nothing has changed
After fifty years
Still in love, can’t get enough,
All this love and passion remains.
Bridge:
As the decades pass by so fast,
I can see our love was built to last.
Every minute and second I embrace,
I wake up still loving the shine on your face.
CHORUS:
After fifty years
You know nothing has changed
After fifty years
Still in love, can’t get enough,
All this love and passion remains.

Collaboration w/ All About Life – The Serpent’s Descent

Jungle like appetites dangle
Salivating like a savage
Like a cherry to be swallowed whole
Gulping down the passion
Engulfing like a predator
Primeval serpent enslaving
With exquisite poison, lashing
Languishing deep within
Force, forced ever deeper
Into the narrow, miry abyss
Gobbling and feverish groans
Temptations shredded to bits
Comfort and smoothness meshing
Melting desires in our hands
Tasting a scrumptious spot
Arching, stretched bow taut
Drawing ever deeper
Writhing lost in ecstasy
Agony, awareness fades
All sensation focused
Animalistic tension glaring
Expletive moans thicken
Ignoring the glowing sunrise
Peaks of euphoria strike
Unbelievable chemistry
Clutching, rising, reaching
Gasping, the final plateau
Feeling omnipotent, puissant
Shuddering slow descent
Into childlike peace
Releasing the outcome
Intoxicating visual
Mind blowing eye contact
Flowing like a heavenly river
Round one complete

Tori Amos, Me and a Gun

241st Chorus, Jack Kerouac

And how sweet a story it is
When you hear Charley Parker
tell it,
Either on records or at sessions,
Or at offical bits in clubs,
Shots in the arm for the wallet,
Gleefully he Whistled the
perfect
horn
Anyhow, made no difference.
Charley Parker, forgive me–
Forgive me for not answering your eyes–
For not having made in indication
Of that which you can devise–
Charley Parker, pray for me–
Pray for me and everybody
In the Nirvanas of your brain
Where you hide, indulgent and huge,
No longer Charley Parker
But the secret unsayable name
That carries with it merit
Not to be measured from here
To up, down, east, or west–
–Charley Parker, lay the bane,
off me, and every body

House of 10,000 Socks

I’ve walked in the house of 10,000 socks
Right in the center of the room was
a checkerboard clock
From zig zag, polka dots, solid and all the colors from the rainbow
I couldn’t believe what I saw and had no where to go
Piles and piles, stacked up next to the walls
Socks everywhere and down the hall
When the clock struck nine it made a rambunctious noise
From the very top bursted 10,000 tiny toys
The socks begin to move and out came the Zentals
I couldn’t believe what I saw, they seemed very kind and all very gentle
They played and played until it was dark
They were very nice and had big hearts
The Zentals were giving and very caring
They had wonderful manners and understood sharing
They crawled back into the socks and turned off the lights
You could hear 10,000 Zentals saying good night!
A Mime’s Brainstorm

Stumbling into a fuzzy
and sanitized brainstorm
Watching the fury
leave stains where the mime
inside placed his hands
on the four by four box
Chatter dissolves
Blood clots stricken
Nonstop convulsions
A falling stigma is spread
like dust on the tricks
of my broken down mind
Fears wallow
Doubt hangs like tree branches
in a distraught hurricane
Analytics in bold
Emotions shredded
Wiping away the dirt from
my cynical and distant eyes
Leaving the mime inside
cry like a new born baby
Constantly misunderstood
A misguided circus fumbling
through the fog
A part of me is the feather
of a soaring bird
Never falling to the ground
without direction
Grasping the words of the prayer
Sent to God from a letter
Please save the mime
