With only Smeagol as their guide

With only Smeagol as their guide,
two Hobbits, with no steed to ride,
and no army beside,

having left the Shire with no goodbyes,
they dreamt of green meadows and blue skies,
but trudged ahead with few friends but a few who were wise,
day after day, they awoke to desolation and spying eyes.

Their foe was powerful had but one flaw as he lusted for power.
He could not imagine them approaching his tower
not to possess and wield the ring's mighty power
but to restore it to the Earth to devour.

There they stumbled toward Mordor, 
hardly stouter than a flower

only to have Smeagol cheat them all in the end
and get the ring back for he had no other friend.
But then, when all was lost, the story took an odd bend,
for Smeagol finally accomplished what no one else could
and bore that terrible burden to its fiery end.

Why I'm so happy
today I shaved my head
though I'm wonderin
what my friends will say about

my 6 mm buzz

well that's what you get when
you neglect to brush your teeth
yeah that's what you get for
chewing gum in your sleep

a slumped sleepless sigh
makes a fitting goodbye

goodbye

I could swear them drainpipes
were burping
aloud

-burp-

Why so tired?
today you've done nothing
save carressing
what's left upon that scalp
and brush them dry flakes
off of the lashes of thine eye

see them tumbling down,
down to the ground
and frown
oh ol' freak flag of mine

goodbye

I could swear them drainpipes
were clogging
bawling, burping
and choking and squawking
about

chewing gum in my sleep
chewing gum in your sleep

6 Mm Buzz

Fantasy -(Written arranged performed and produced by unknown)

Cordelia
All your memorabilia
have been kept safe
and locked away
until this day
I hand it over to you
now that wheel
to which you were bound
is no longer on fire

Cordelia
I'm releasing you
Cordelia
All the more all the same
graceful in mine eye
yes I'm sure
your love is more
ponderous than your tounge
could ever conspire

Cordelia
Unlike Ophelia
and those harpee sisters
in your midst
forever foul and never fair
with neither inkling nor a clue
that it is your lips
men wishes to seal with righteous kiss
but you're tired
are you not
dear daughter of Lear

Howl

Your beauty puts my poems on par
with the talking ravens in the tower

Kraa...

Name The PL4CE

The lobby

Dans tous les recoins de l'espace et du temps
Mon Esprit crie, mon Coeur saigne et mon âme sombre
Dans les méandres de ma folie, je pleure et je ressens
Toute cette souffrance qui me plombe

L'idée qu'un jour cet avenir ne fusse plus
Qu'un doux rêve éveillé, un passé oublié
De ce lointain souvenir qui reste suspendu
Dans un instant qui se fige et d"où une lueur naît


Celle de la lumière et de la chaleur
De deux êtres attablés
Dont le sourire aux lèvres se meurt
Et dans mon esprit sans paix

Subsiste une demeure
Où mes visions de l'avenir
Plus jamais ne meurent
Et où le temps se fige


Elle est de celles qui apparaissent
Quand le temps est gris
Qui vous caressent le Coeur avec tendresse
Et qui laisse votre âme dans une tristesse infinie

Elle vous promet le ciel
Et s'en va dans le silence
Avec le goût du fiel
Et avec imprudence


Elle remue l'enfer
Qui s'abat sur elle
Pour l'envoyer sur le seul
Qu'elle a comblé sur son seuil

Lorsque la folie des uns
Ramène l'autre à ses tourments
Que les tourments du destin
Remue ces deux amants


Qu'un jour ou l'autre le regret
Finira par emporter sur son passage
Sans voir tout le mal fait
Au travers d'un seul message

Il y a des futurs manqués
Qu'un passé ne peut rattraper
Des visions bien étranges
Qui résonnent dans le Coeur d'un ange

Qui jamais ne s'ouvrira
Tel une fleur qui flétrira
Lorsque le temps, oublié
Viendra longtemps nous perturber
