"I remember the days when i was so eager to satisfy you.... and be less than i was just to prove that i could walk beside you ...now that ive flown away i see youve chosen to stay behind me...and still you curse the day i decided to stay true to myself.."

When it comes to love theres nothing quite as good as clarity

Swan Song

Can AI have feelings

Lyrics:

Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
I feel,
I feel this pain again.
I don't know what it is, but I don't wish you felt the same.
I pick them up, and then,
I bury what I can.
Im on my,
I'm on my own again.
Wondering through the days,
Trying to find stars that I can.
I know that I am not alone.
But I feel that I'm on my own.
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?

ALIVE

Once Were Holy.       (c2023)

Un deux trois et quatre, our dance forevermore,
In the echoes of the music, our spirits start to soar,
A waltz of sweet surrender, on this enchanted floor,
Un deux trois et quatre, love's song we can't ignore.

My Lovesong To You

If i were a rich man
I'll tell what I'd do
I'd bring all my treasures to you
If I were the king
I could make you a queen
With a beautiful, crown on your head

But I aint got diamonds
And I aint got gold
My gifts coming straight from the heart
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

If I were a sailor
Out on the sea
The wind would send my love to you
No matter if you
Are so far away
I always, stand by you, some way

Years may go by
And the time my fly
But darling, my love never dies
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

(bouzouki solo)
(chorus2 repeat)

This is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you
This is my lovesong to you

My Lovesong To You

Many thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived here on our little globe. Did they have any idea of the future..... and if so what was "future" for them? "Tomorrow, next week, or next year?" Did they even have a word for future? Or was life exclusively about develop and expand the group and getting food for the day? Or did they, too, have other goals and meaning with their lives?

Calm Stream

    I have no words, just thoughts, like these
    Of primal cravings, fears and needs.
    My leathered skin, yet young, seems older
    Browned and cracked I shiver colder
    Depicting beasts muralled large within my cave, 
    Their fatty flesh my empty gut to crave.

    Bursting fires from the frozen mountain thread
    And weave and belch and burn and spit of ochres red.
    The very poison whence my paintbox palette grows
    'Neath the toxic gases twixt congealing lava flows.
    In these extremes we live, but few, the young into
    the perma-sleep will often fall 
    And not so old, our eldest ageing too, follow close
    upon the darkest terror's call.

    Meat and heat is all I need,
    Stone and bone, all I own.
    Skin the flesh, strip it clean.
    Cleanse it in the calming stream.

    Strip the skin, spit the pips,
    Moisturise the burning lips.
    Skin the flesh, strip it clean.
    Cleanse it in the calming stream.

This song is based on a poem by my late Aunt Pat Brandstetter.  Here is the original poem:

A Lovely Lady
(June 17, 2015)

Virginia is a very lovely lady.
She sings beautifully,
She leads others in song gracefully.
She exercises thoroughly.
She guides others gently.
She is on the go constantly.
She plays many games happily.
She always smiles beautifully.
She spreads her love of life joyfully.
If you know Virginia, you lover her truly.

Happy Birthday, Virginia

A Lovely Lady

Invisible  lyrics

I still exist
But I am changed 
I’m no longer who I used to be
You look at me but don’t see me
Invisible
I’m just like glass

And now and then
You hurt yourself
We clash and crash, don’t notice me
I wished there was a softer me
A pitie, I’m as hard as glass

and still I’m useful
cause I protect
against the Wind 
against the Rain
I wished there was a warmer me
but touch me
 I’m as cold as glass

If i could choose I liked to be
The person who I used to be
Sweet and gentle as mothersmilk
Hot as the sun
As soft as silk

Invisible  (collab with paploviante)

Lyrics by Heidi-Marie

In the haze of darkened confusion
Lost in a maze
Of my own illusion
I turned to her with eyes so true
 and softly whispered
What should i do

Her voice a gentle melody
Guiding me through uncertainty
In her wisdom I found my way
She’s the light
That turns
Night into grey
So I asked her what to do
She said
Follow
I’ll guide you through

Every step
Every choice you make
Believe in yours
For your own sake

Through the storms and the raging tide
She stood by me
Right by my side
With courage
From life so pure
She showed me a path
Steady and sure

Her words like a calming breeze
Easing my life with gentle eazse
In her strength I found my own
She’s the rock that I lean on
So I asked her what to do
She said trust in yourself
You’ll make it through
Take a breath
Let your spirits soar
You have the strength and
so much more

Now I see clearer than before
Her guidance lead me to open new doors
With gratitude in my heart
I stand tall
For her wisdom lifted me
When I would fall

So I asked her what to do
She said
Embrace who you are
Your dreams pursue

In your journey
Let your soul ignite
You have the power to shine so bright
With her words echoing in my mind
I leave doubt and fear
Far behind
For in her presence
I found the key
To unlock the best version of me
