Loophole

You have a way 
To make me smile through my tears 
Much to my dismay
I get so lost when you're not near

And I am so afraid 
Everything I thought was crystal clear 
Now is badly stained 
How do I make it disappear? 

Just to think I had it under control 
How dare you love again? 
I need a way out, to find a loophole 
I'll spare you the pain

I wish you would stay
Although I claim I just don’t need you here
My love won’t go away
You’re all I’ll ever hold this dear

Just to think I had it under control 
How dare you love again? 
I need a way out, to find a loophole 
I'll spare you the pain

And come what may
Yes, come what may
Don’t let me fall

Yes!
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

Ooh no!
Just to think I had it under control (there’s no control)
How dare you love again? 
I need a way out, to find a loophole (loophole)
I’m so not ready for a leap of faith
Into the aching void of the unknown
Please spare me the pain

How Was I Supposed To Know

John Palmer & Spiralizer - How Was I Supposed To Know

Lyrics inspired by the poem 'Raindrops' by Ciarán Parkes.

Photograph is a statue of Oscar Wildes wife Constance Lloyd in Merrion square, Dublin taken by Ciaran Parkes.

Angel

I'm reassured in a small way
by the sound of raindrops falling 
as I lay here in my bed.

They come down as they do,
countless tiny Angels
down from heaven.

Without wings these 
Angels bring,
the gift of sweetly shattering 
on everything they touch.

So radiant 
still when they land,
they're only here to change 
my plans and save me 
from myself.
A tragedy that I avoid 
damn I really could have died 
you saved me!

ooh ooh Angel

They turn sunlight into rainbows everyone of them 
reflect the setting sun.
Falling to their own reflections destiny in each and everyone.

ooh ooh Angel

I'm reassured in a small way
by the sound of raindrops falling 
as I lay here in my bed.

Trancission

up and down.. emotions come and go.. but each one is powerful..

Lights Out

Wonderful poetry and arrangements by Wivresse on one of my tracks !

Lyrics:
Far from the great snake
The sighs compete with the Zephir
In the honeyed heart of feminine flames
This intimate mead
summon ecstasy
And flowering fertility among the dunes
in obscene dances
in creative cries
in flesh water
sassy libations
for explosion of life
in honor of Derketo
We are all on our knees,
on all fours,
Her sacred milk to our lips
in obscene dances
Canticle of canticles
for Derketo

Sensual Theorems

At Derketo's Feet

At Derketo's Feet - Wivresse & HyLGZ22

From the '17 CD "Autumn's Soul". Played on a Tony Vines Artisan guitar in dropped D tuning, capo #2.
In composing this tune, I definitely had the feeling of someone waiting for a loved one, not knowing if that person would arrive. Wondering, hoping......never sure. An image of a lonely train station as the setting for this uncertain and fragile moment. 
Thanks for listening!

WHILE I WAIT FOR YOU

This is the second track inspired by E.M. Forster's, "The Machine Stops". 
Vashti reluctantly leaves her cell to visit her errant son on the other side of the planet. Here's the passage that inspired me:

"The air ship service was a relic from the former age. It was kept up, because it was easier to keep it up than to stop it or diminish it, but now it far exceeded the wants of the population. Vessel after vessel would rise up from the vomitories of Rye or of Christchurch, would sail into the crowded sky and would draw up at the wharves of the south - empty."
