Love...
many words for a dove
which never has flown.
such fragility has
fallen

At the root of the tree,
singing loud a brilliant song ...

"Mister Donne" (a dalliance with piano)
Everyone is beautiful and scars
Are sexy ...
He said :
"No man is an island",
Would that make him the sea ?
Don't ask me for whom,
Mister Donne, Mister Donne,
As it sure as Hell
Isn't for me.
So tell me now,
Mister Donne, Mister Donne,
Can a woman be
Such a wonderful land,
Whilst your tides
Would dance
Upon
Her bountiful shore ?
Such a man, a man,
An island is not
Some barren old sand.
Only the rarest would bear
No fruit to the poor.
Whilst You, Mister Donne,
Finally read your own tome
It was thee,
Not me
For whom that bell tolled.
You got so old !
Much older than me ...
And now
You are
Just dead !
So sad Mister Donne,
That you felt so alone
But you never remembered inside of your head :
That everyone is beautiful and scars
Are sexy ...

i know i'm not alone in that my weakness is my strength
i know i can't condone until our meekness runs it's length
i know it and i show it and i really can't bestow it
it's my boat
and i'll row it
so watch the water flow.
bestow it ?
the world ?
i don't have it to give ...
but you know
that I would, girl
with all my sails unfurled
and you know
that i could, girl
conquer this wide world
you can whisper it to me and you can tell me so true
just say "baby ...
Give me the World."
