“Fool’s Gold”

Look into our future
Truth be told
Our love still shines
Though the tarnish grows
I’m seeking shimmers on the ocean’s floor 
Oh, what the hell you only live once you know

Not coming up for air today
(You’re) still digging in 
Yeah… I think I’ll stay below

Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding on to hope
To hope for your treasure down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s nothing but Fool’s Gold

Your love I can’t hold

Sending out a Save Our Soul
Though I know our chances are low
Deeper and deeper and deeper we go
But all we have to blame is -- this hope

Sinking deeper into the cold
What do I have to give up? My soul
 
Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding out for hope
To hope for your danger down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s nothing but Fool’s Gold

It’s a fool’s goal
I know…  I know…  I know… 
Your love I can’t hold
   
<Breakdown>

Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding out for hope
To hope for your treasure down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s fool’s gold
 
Your love I can’t hold
Your love I can’t hold
Your love I can’t hold

Fool's Gold

one upon a time we went to the House of Nanking restaurant and as we sat down a quarter-pounder cockroach strolled down the counter. nobody was bothered and we stayed and ate 'cuz the food was so damn good. still a favorite and inspiration for this exotic musical dish called House of Nanking Blues.

The struggle between doubt and hope.  Many rules broken on this one, I'm sure.

All those times when you tried to play at the at top of your game
lately your enthusiasm’s starting to wane
You’ve been trying so hard to re-ignite that fire in your belly
lately your resolve, it’s turning into jelly 
You've been trying to be the best that you can be
but maybe you’ve been barking up the wrong tree
if your Spidey sense starts to tingle, maybe it’s a sign 
that you should open up the curtains and let in some sunshine
Sometimes you need to listen to your inner voice
Every morning that you wake up you still have a choice 
You’ve been swinging for a home run, but you can’t even seem to get to first base
You feel stuck like a rat in a race, like one of those monkey’s they shot into outer space
There’s days when it feels like you’re hanging by the end of your rope
And you struggling so hard to find a solution so you can cope
if your Spidey sense starts to tingle, maybe it’s a sign 
that you should open up the curtains and let in some sunshine
Sometimes you need to listen to your inner voice
Every morning that you wake up you still have a choice 
You try to make it through each day and sometimes you feel like the missing link
White knuckling your way through all the changes, trying not to be the first to blink
People doing things fast with AI that you're sure would take you several weeks
But you swear you’re going keep doing things the old-fashioned way with your luddite techniques
Your life is like a river that’s constantly flowing, 
You get swept along by the current You’re never sure where it’s going
Sometimes it feels like you’re playing a game of musical chairs
You’re afraid that when the music stops, you’ll be the one whose left standing there

If your Spidey sense starts to tingle, maybe it’s a sign 
that you should open up the curtains and let in some sunshine
Sometimes you need to listen to your inner voice
Every morning that you wake up you still have a choice

All Those Times

Many years ago I was in a bar out in the Mid West of the US and I fight broke out... It was weird coz it seemed like I was watching a real life film... lot of over weight 'chaps' swinging fists and kicking out like donkeys.  a very funny thing to behold. Anyway I wrote this track and am working on an album to go with it.  'The Buckled Wheel Inn'.

More Beer, One More Fight

Lyrics:
Steady your hand, hold it out in front of you
Palm down, open wide, keep it still
Steady, steady like a rock

Fill the lungs, hold it in, don’t let it out
Oxygen is life, oxygen is life
Without it slip away

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Getting reps in, keep a mental count, the turns
Generally speaking, random mark
Pump it out, turning over rocks

Over under, beat the odds on favorite
Carrying the bag, subjective satisfaction
I feel satisfied

In the presence of certain company
Discretion opposite honesty
Find the right moment and then lay it out
Save the hurtfulness for next time

In the presence of certain company
Save the hurtfulness for next time

Discretion Opposite Honesty

“Tome of Stars” is a 100 sonnet journey, equal parts art, therapy journal, and exorcism, both a celebration and an elegy, a single narrative arc tracing the birth and death of a relationship. All poetry by Stargazer. The verse and accompanying synthetic art and music are public domain, CC0, with no restrictions on use. Nothing is monetized.

The final section of “Tome of Stars”, “Scripture”, leaves narrative behind to consecrate the poet’s enduring, unrequited love as sacred text. Comprising nine sonnets, it transforms the terminal condition of quixotosis (a delusional devotion stripped of belief in reciprocity) into liturgy, adopting the voice and cadence of timeless religious writing.

Adapted largely from an earlier prose work written from the perspective of a devotee of the Stargirl, these poems elevate her from mortal beloved to astral deity, blending hymn, confession, and myth in a tradition of sanctifying suffering and idealizing beauty. “Scripture” offers no reconstruction, resurrection, or resolution, only the permanence of ritualized longing: words repeated, a mantra, because they are all that remain.

“Panacea” is a sonnet of transformation and spiritual renewal, depicting an ecstatic encounter with a divine presence that (temporarily) purges the speaker of human flaws and dogmatic falsehoods. Set against the imagery of the sea, the poem uses metaphors of healing and purification to describe the poet’s surrender to a transcendent force. The experience is one of profound catharsis, stripping away pride, shame, and madness, leaving the speaker spiritually naked yet whole. The poem seeks to capture the duality of agony and joy in moments of ultimate revelation, offering a vision of love as the ultimate cure.

Lyrics

Full overcome by her divine embrace,
I knelt upon the shore, where waves entwined.
Her eyes consumed my heart in healing grace;
Within their depths, eternity was mine.

I laughed through tears, a newborn tasting light,
Dissecting human madness, pride, and shame.
The lunacy of dogmas lost their might—
Demented lies, psychotically proclaimed.

I rent my hair in tragic joy, with awe,
Perceiving cosmic essence: raw and pure.
I kissed a sea released from human flaw, 
As plague she purged—her love transcendent cure.

Profoundly naked, spirit bare, but whole,  
I drank her endless breath to cleanse my soul.
