“Sugar Blues” (A Little Diddy)
Wouldn’t be the first time
Likely not the last

It’s just a part of nature
We want what we can’t keep
And since I have not an ounce of control
I might as well just sleep

“Coming Through”

Artist’s Note
I do have other songs that are not so tame, etc., but I post what’s closer to “acceptable.”
Quasar (Song)
You see me far away
Emitting high energy
So imagine if closer
Quivering pulsings
Trying to contain
Competing forces
I’d be clumsy giddy
Distracted graceful
Because your gravity
Tugs at blood’s flow
You know there’s
No slowing collision
In Forces of Nature’s
Hardwire inclination
Ah, darling, I’m worried
‘Cause I need you badly
I don’t want to wait for
Ok from mum or daddy
Yes, I want to be wooed
But I need your impetus
If I give it all to you too soon
Will sun still crave moon rest?
Or will the dust in all of the galaxies
Call your break from our synchrony?
Don’t you see I’m the key
To your alternate destiny?
Take that ride inside
Where we bend reality
Trip through that portal
To find Heaven’s waiting
Discovering new worlds
Ready for our awakening
Current “Reality”
“Briefly back in bed to get warm while dogs are out back and cats are indoor meandering, all waiting for me to muster will’s power to get up and aim for another version of daily functioning.”
Synergizing (Song)
It’s been there growing
Been a long time comin’
In the airways
In the elements
Like calls to like
Rules wild magic
It’s just a matter of
If you also believe
That I am the one
We’re meant to be
‘Cause I felt it then
And undeniable now
Looking over history
We’ve grown talents
Coming from wreckage
Of past love’s mistakes
Finding truth in ourselves
We never wanted to forsake
I guess many others also dream
But what I need’s been honed clean
That firebrand’s understanding
We’ll play dirty and counter mean
Any godd**n fool who dares to
F**k with our mantra’s obscene
Whether from family, friends, or society
I’ll be in the heights and trenches, baby
Just need to know you got my back
Can’t settle again for possibly maybe’s
Indiscriminant relegating negotiating
When all I want is for us to come clean
(I’m On Fire – Elderbrook, Hotel Session #46)
Dear Alex,
I’m terrified to talk to you
Afraid anything I say or do
Can get misinterpreted
Because people project
And fears conscript moments
That need to breathe truthfully
I’ve been fighting off demons
I can’t kill that keep reaching
I see them everywhere I look
It’s like we’re all a bit infected
And I don’t want to lose you
I want us to be inoculated
Do you understand meaning
When I say I want to dance?
Is your heart at last ready
For this feast after famine?
Are you willing to fight hard
For truth buried underneath
The lies everyone’s gonna tell
To pull us apart and sabotage
Everything we have both earned
By hearts’ loss pure endurance?
Tell Me True (Song)
I’ve been workin’ the ropes
I’ve been searchin’ for hope
Not from anybody – in fact
I’ve been out of circulation
Because I can’t give away what
Funeral pyres’ grief made of me
Can’t be trapped by empty ones
Gotta get with a real man’s love
Through all this damaged reverie
Light that match for soul synergy
Come on now baby tell me truely
Do you wanna be the one for me?
I see your plans generating
Elemental world dominating
I don’t need the fame and fortune
Just need our hearts’ collaborating
I’ve got my own things to prove
And want to do them beside you
So tell me now baby tell me truely
Do you wanna be the one for me?
Come on now baby gonna set us free?
Give me the key to your Lamborghini
Set us on that roadway of speeding
Out of control until we’re colliding
If I’m confidin’ got to tell everything
‘Cause I want us to have it all honey
Borealis (Song)
No, memory, I won’t slow
Heat has got me pulsing
All this death’s dominion
Let it stop its mourning
I’ve found a man evolving
He’s got fire at command
Lights it up in the darkness
Knows how to make a stand
I’ve been searching my soul
For too many years to know
You”ve gotta grab onto that
Second chance when find it
Bad Dreams
“Last night in a dream, he came to me.
Said he wanted me back – just as it’s likely, if you and I got together, she’d try to reclaim you.
But it was lies, all lies, and demanded my compromise as he wanted others, too.
Is that what would happen to you?
What’s the price you’d have to pay?
Could we work it through?”
Spontaneous Combustion
“Witnessing you pour your being into your art and feeling my heart respond like a phoenix bursting out from its ashes – fire bright lit and taking flight into ascending – has got me aching to know if it’s really you.”
Skin Deep
“He had closed off to me long before his injuries.
I didn’t know how to get him back – we were way off track from where we’d begun.
We were so young.
What had I done but been naive and asked him about something, too trusting and wanting his opinion?
Was it those “friends” who tried to falsely corrupt my reputation – make him think I would be a bad thing – and convince him to discard me for their gains?
Was it my sending away the woman who suddenly reappeared, trying to leverage their history and dethrone me?
I knew something about his past was unresolved and was soon projected onto me.
It shut down our connection’s honesty and sealed tight his mouth, glomming onto me like sticky taffy.
It was like I couldn’t move or breath freely, and every move I made or word I said was used as reinforcement to distance him.
And those hormones made me feel and see the cracks of our impending loss too clearly.
I begged him nicely – but then the women flirting and his ambiguity”s lack of reassurance got me yelling.
Our truth was there – why couldn’t and wouldn’t he fight for it?!
It was in how we drummed together, and in how our bodies confided.
But I couldn’t reach him; couldn’t talk to him.
He kept avoiding and denying while going through the motions of being together.
I could tell he resented my challenging and rallying, as he withdrew even more from me.
Our love before had been alive and vital – and I’d be damned if I would let it die like this!
But I was damned because I didn’t let go of it.”
Safe Haven
“I have learned to share on-the-fly my mind’s eye to posting by finger tips, more easily forming complex thoughts and concepts.
But in an external relationship, free-flow brain to mouth still hesitates.”
My New Mantra
“A disco ball is hundreds
Of pieces of broken glass
Put together to make a
Magical ball of light
You are not broken
You are a dusco ball.”

Trouble In Paradise
“When we marry young without good advice and guidance, we often contend with struggles in ourselves and with each other – sometimes to detriment because we don’t know yet how to manage conflict better.”
