I Miss You

Verse]
In the desert's hush where shadows creep
A cactus stands tall no need to weep
With spines like armor it guards its soul
Underneath the stars it feels whole

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

[Verse 2]
A lizard darts by to steal some shade
Beneath your arms a haven made
Your roots run deep in the sandy sea
A lesson in strength for you and me

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

[Bridge]
When rain does fall your flowers bloom
A splash of color in endless gloom
Your thorns they speak of trials endured
A silent story raw and pure

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

Cactus King (feat. Lenny O’Connor). Lyrics in description

[Verse 1]
First met you on the courthouse steps
You had a ticket for a car that was borrowed
You said "Take me to the firemen's ball
They'll forget about it by tomorrow"

[Verse 2]
We danced and you introduced me as your husband
It was just a little white lie
But I loved it
You said
"Let's go make it a little more true"
And we took off in a hurry
We got hitched and got it over
While the wedding bells were still ringin' in my ears

[Chorus]
Tell me
Girl
What was wrong with me?
Was it my taste in music or the way I kissed you?
Or the hours and hours that I spent with you in bed?
Was it something that I said?
Was it the way I held your hand
When you introduced me as your husband?
Why a girl wanna leave such a smart and gentle man?

[Verse 3]
You brought me to your parents' house
You said
"Just play along for the weekend"
They had their questions and their doubts
But by the end
They were believing

[Verse 4]
We had fun
We put on a good show
I guess some people just get off on pretending
I could tell that your daddy didn't like me much
So I left
'cause it seemed like the right thing
It was just the one time
But I know how much it meant to you
And I hope I didn't mess it up too bad

[Chorus]
Tell me
Girl
What was wrong with me?
Was it my taste in music or the way I kissed you?
Or the hours and hours that I spent with you in bed?
Was it something that I said?
Was it the way I held your hand
When you introduced me as your husband?
Why a girl wanna leave such a smart and gentle man?

Lyrics

In Saira's glow we wander far
Beneath the light of a dreaming star
The yon whispers secrets untold
On Eta's sands where stories unfold

[Verse 2]
King of my weary heart I plea
Guide me through this eternity
Your name
A song in the desert's breath
On Eta's edge
I defy death

[Chorus]
Oh Eta
O where the winds do call
Through the sands of time where shadows fall
Hold my soul in your endless tide
On Eta
O my heart abides

[Verse 3]
In Saira's arms I find my peace
The ceaseless pull
It will never cease
A kingdom born of golden grains
On Eta's shore where love remains

[Bridge]
The yon may shift the stars may fade
But Eta’s throne is where I stayed
A timeless hymn in the desert's glow
On Eta
O forever I go

[Chorus]
Oh Eta
O where the winds do call
Through the sands of time where shadows fall
Hold my soul in your endless tide
On Eta
O my heart abides

Glad I am

Lyrics

Intro – Spoken/half-sung, atmospheric]
Yeah, they trim the trees,
They rake the fire away.
Build fences strong,
But can’t outrun the laws today.

[Verse 1]
Juan’s got a scar that runs ear to chin,
Said it came from Sonora, not from sin.
He brings his boy on Sundays, just to play
Near the pool he’ll never swim in anyway.

[Verse 2]
Mowin’ lawns under redwood shade,
Hands in dirt while the rich get paid.
Sings to the birds in broken slang—
Every word feels like a chain that hangs.

[Verse 3]
They came last night in unmarked vans,
Took three men like they weren’t even men.
Left their tools in the morning dew,
Leaf blowers still, boots filled with truth.

Verse – Chicano’s Voice]
I send my pay to a border town,
Where mamá lights candles when the sun goes down.
My name’s not ‘hey’ or ‘you in the hat
I got stories, but no time for that.


[Bridge – whispered, rising tension]
Is this freedom, is this fear?
Do we only welcome those we mirror?
My friend cries but hides his face—
Guilt’s a shadow you can’t erase.

[Final Chorus – crescendo, all-out delivery]
They build your world and vanish in the smoke,
Names unspoken, dreams that broke.
You walk on marble, they crawl through flames,
Still you can’t even learn their names.
No green card, no last call—
But they stood taller than us all.

Lyrics

I walk the streets but no one sees
The face behind the flashbulb freeze
They cheer my name it cuts like glass
A fragile mask I can't surpass

[Chorus]
The spotlight burns it blinds my soul
A shining weight that takes its toll
I scream for peace it echoes thin
Fame's a game you never win

[Verse 2]
The mirror shows a stranger's eyes
A haunted glare beneath the guise
The crowd adores but they don't know
The cracks beneath the golden glow

[Chorus]
The spotlight burns it blinds my soul
A shining weight that takes its toll
I scream for peace it echoes thin
Fame's a game you never win

[Bridge]
I traded dreams for fleeting fame
But lost myself inside the flame
The echoes fade the crowd moves on
But I remain when they are gone

[Chorus]
The spotlight burns it blinds my soul
A shining weight that takes its toll
I scream for peace it echoes thin
Fame's a game you never win

Polar Bears are everywhere in Churchill Manitoba
Copyright 2025. Vesuvius

[verse1]
Up in the north where the frost bites deep
Where the wind hums secrets that the tundra keeps
The stars hang low like they’ve lost their way
Churchill wakes in the icy gray

[Chorus]
Polar bears on the streets tonight
Ghosts in fur under pale moonlight
You can hear their breath in the frozen air
In Churchill town
You best beware

[Verse 2]
Snow piles high where the train tracks end
A place where strangers turn to friends
But the white kings roam
No throne in sight
Their kingdom stretches past the night

[Prechorus]
The ice cracks loud
The river groans
The bears walk soft
Like they’re carved from stone

[Chorus]
Polar bears on the streets tonight
Silent hunters in the fading light
Eyes like embers in the northern glow
In Churchill town
The wild runs the show

[Bridge]
They own the alleys
They own the shore
Legends whisper they’ve been here before
No fences hold them
No walls too tall
The Arctic’s call
It conquers all’

Cit Aikya 
Becomes 
My sight 
The willingness 
To move  
From my fright. 
Don’t perceive 
The attack 
It will put you 
In a state  
of lack 
It’s time  
To go back 
To a place  
That doesn’t  
keep track. 

The mind  
Is not 
White 
Or black. 
The perception 
May not be 
The fact. 
Oneness 
And awareness 
This is a  
State of 
Poetic clearness. 
The state of 
True conscientiousness 
My vision is 
The decision 
Of my original 
Nature. 

Original sin 
The crucifixion 
Where my mind 
Has been 
The lifting of 
The veil 
The understanding 
That all is not 
Necessarily real. 
Is it you 
That you feel 
Oneness 
And awareness 
The granting of 
The universal 
Harmonizing seal. 
Limitless and free 
Power and strength 
Abide in me. 

The mind  
Is not 
White 
Or black. 
The perception 
May not be 
The fact. 
Oneness 
And awareness 
This is a  
State of 
Poetic clearness. 
The state of 
True conscientiousness 
My vision is 
The decision 
Of my original 
Nature. 

Let go 
As my root 
Extends deep 
And my mind 
opens 
As my heart 
Embraces 
The awareness 
The presence 
Of a soul’s purpose 
And nature 
To love and serve

My True Nature

I've been in a dungeon
Where no one's coming
But I don't care
It's dark and it's haunted
I like being alone
So don't try and save me
But they were like

[Chorus]
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them

[Verse 2]
My ex tried to save me
He said he was coming
I guess he got lost
He was cute but it's funny
'Cause I like being alone
And now he's gone
But they were like

[Chorus]
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them
There are five beautiful girls locked up
And only a prince charming can rescue them

All songs, -music and lyrics - are copyrighted..
As an author - composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
