Lyrical Halloween

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but (Yeah) leave a message
And I'll call you back................................ND

 

 

Well, I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin'
Start a little fire, and baby start cookin'
I'm a hungry man
But I don't want pizza
I'll blow down your house
And then I'm gonna eat ya

Bring you to a simmer
Right on time
Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine

Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
He's a psycho
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love
And it's feeding time......................AC

 

Their brands were still on fire

And their hooves were made of steel

Their horns were black and shiny

And their hot breath he could feel

A bolt of fear went through him

As they thundered through the sky

He saw the riders coming hard

Heard their mournful cry

Yippee-i-ay

Yippee-i-o

Ghost riders in the sky

 

 

Flirting with disaster
Mornign after killing me again
Hiding from the laughter
And the demons dancing round my brain
Always dancing on thin ice
I guess I'll have to pay the price
Hey, Hey, Do the Zombie Stomp
Thinking how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, Hey, Do the Zombie, Zombie Stomp............OO

 

 

The sound of shoes
A shadow that moves
Something odd is tic tac ticking
Someone's in here
I'm so full of fear
The telephone is ringing

Now I can see you
Oh no, please no
Now I can touch you
Oh god, please go
I am right here now
Oh please, tell me where
Ha ha ha ha
I'm in a nightmare
You better run
I'm back to haunt you down

Halloween, in the death of the night, hear me scream
I'm coming, I'm coming
Halloween, is the fear that I fight, in my dream
Keep running, keep running.................Aqua

What A Beautiful Day!

My eyes slowly start to flutter open, morning light pouring into the room. As I'm draggin' my ass outta bed, a happy thought washes over me. While my coffee is heating, I'm checkin' the local weather....Sunny with scattered clouds, 86 degrees, no rain predicted....BEACH DAY!!!!! 

I grab my beach bag (always filled with beach stuff), flip-flops & off I go. I'm enjoying my coffee while driving down the freeway...top down in the Jeep...Matchbox 20's newest album North, helping to get the groove started for the day. The sky clear & sunny with a few light puffy clouds, like angels had left balls of cotton blowing around. I mean just nothing but beautiful ahead of me!

I also apparently wasn't the one thinking that same idea. Rightly so...it's been rainy a lot lately which has kept my white butt away from my sun spot. So I end up having to park a full parking lot down from my usual place. As I step out of my Jeep that beautiful sound of waves lapping at the beach beckons me onward!

Ahhhhhhhh.....the BEACH! The sand warm as I crush my toes into it for the first time. Nothing but bright blue skies mirroring the ocean into the beyond. Beach-goers tanning themselves on towels of all colors of the spectrum. People playing in the ocean that is 80 degrees of warm wonderful. I pick out my spot, lay out my beach blanket & lotion up because skin protection is important!

First thing I do is set my mind free & meditate into a state of complete bliss. I take the time to send out my thanks & prayers & best wishes. Then I sit & just soak up the environment. Let the wind go through me, taking with it all negativities, sorrows, & hurts. Let the sun boil out impurities & bring warmth, brightness, radiance & a much needed dose of Vitamin D!

I then return this Pisces to Titan's home. I walk out letting the waves draw me into it. With each wave more of the negative & bad are washed out to deep sea. With each new wave also brings nourishment to mind & soul. I swim around & splash as much as I want. I body surf back into shallower waters then back onto my blanket & allow myself to just drip dry. What a beautiful day it's been!

I then take out my music player & press play. As Alanis sings to me my life songs, I start walking. I walk up & down the beach for 2 hours. Walking on the beach I've met quit a many unique & interesting people. Today I even met a chef from France! I often will also stop & gather seashells & pick up others trash, hey each thing we do helps our beautiful planet!

I also love drawing in the wet sand & letting the waves wash it away. I will often write a prayer or name of someone who needs some extra energy & let the ocean sweep it out to be taken care of. Like as if God washes it away once its been noted. So you all get a special blessing/positive energies from me each time I go. Again, just doing my part in sending out positive energies!








Then as the day starts to break into night, I make my departure. Never sad that the day has ended but thrilled that I had such an incredible day! Top down on the Jeep for the drive home as Pink keeps me grooving with her new album, Truth About Love. Arriving back home & into the arms of my love!


What an Incredible & BEAUTIFUL Beach day it had turned out to be!!!!!!

Light Of A Clear Blue Morning

It's been a long dark night
And I've been a waitin' for the morning
It's been a long hard fight
But I see a brand new day a dawning
I've been looking for the sunshine
'Cause I ain't seen it in so long
But everything's gonna work out just fine
Everything's gonna be all right
That's been all wrong

'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

It's been a long long time
Since I've known the taste of freedom
And those clinging vines
That had me bound, well I don't need 'em

'Cause I am strong and I can prove it
And I got my dreams to see me through
It's just a mountain, I can move it
And with faith enough there's nothing I can't do

And I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay.......................................DP

Season's Change

MMMMmmmm.....can you smell it?! It's here and it's starting to feel good! The first feeling of Fall...Autumn....changing from boil to chilled. I love seeing the colors go from bright greens to purple & gold & orange & yellow & red!


(Minnetonka, Minnesota)

Its the time of year when Mother Nature starts to pull inward before winter. Unneeded things are shed & seeds are quickly sowed for the next year. Time to harvest the summers growth & prepare for the winter freeze.

(Flagstaff, Arizona)

The crisp early air as you walk out the front door & see your breath for the first time & yet it doesn't feel 'that cold' yet.


(Flagstaff Aspen)

Along soon comes the scents of autumn. The scent of pine or spruce on a fire as it crackles & pops. Or driving down a street & all the sudden you notice right away that someones BBQing just because your windows are finally open. Opening up the front door to the surprising but oh so tantalizing aroma of pumpkin bread or pumpkin pie wafting through the room.


(Homemade Pumpkin Pie)

Some of my memories of autumn are some of my fondest. Memories of my childhood in the mountains of Flagstaff. Memories of partying with friends in Minnesota. Memories of walks after dinner blowing off steam from the day. It's a beautiful time of year...indeed!

Empathy

"Empathy"

There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face

There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait

You come along and invite these parts out of hiding
This invitation is the one that I've stopped fighting....

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy

There were so many times, I thought I'd die not being truly known
There've been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation

You come along and celebrate each feeling
And there you are all honor and inquiring.......

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy

There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me
Required too much you see
To accept your generosity
And to know myself enough to let you help me

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy...........................................AM

 

This is dedicated to Lesli....one of the closest friends I've ever had & the one that has truly seen me for me...no questions or trying to change me....she just loves me for ME....Congrats on your engagement!!!!!

In Loving & Caring Memory

 

3 Years!

“Into A King”
It started harmless enough
Animal infatuation
But something within it prevailed

You were a sweet amalgamation
Of all the parts I have loved
The hottest slippery slope

And out came depth
And out comes healing
Out comes friendship unlike any I have known

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from complicated to complete

continued and softened us up
our rocks are hewn by this water of love
and steadfast: our pinky swear

and out comes fun
out comes relief
out comes championing unlike any I have known

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from a complicated to complete

And how far have we come
how far we’ve yet to go
til we’re gray great grandparents
til we’re one tiny little wrinkle
I say I do I do I do

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from complicated to complete

And so, we’ll trapse from paper through diamonds
A family tree’s genesis
Our fingers t’wining together

And out comes ever
And out comes alchemy
And out comes drooling on your chest

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from complicated to complete.....................AM
