Energy Mind
Well I wind up my mind
and peel back my eyes
and these diamonds I find
Well I know they are mine
A brilliant smattering swirling gaze
I can see millions of ways
I peel back my eyes
and I suck in the days
The best I've been yet
and everything explodes in my head
I wind up my mind
Everything all of the time
and who am I? To refuse the light?
And I do love the mighty mind
Without it I know I would die
The best I've been yet
and everything explodes in my head
Every way - all of the time -
I peel a back my eyes
Hungry -wonder-widened mind
Open wild - open wide
Everything all of the time
The best I've been yet.........
To build or destroy-
Only you decide which joy

Mini Toboggan
Our old house - Jefferson
when the old church rings - 3:30
Jen and I went out right after school
In the snow - bundled warmly
Out to our hill to build the jump
With bales of hay and icy water
Todder's ready, with mini toboggan
A fearless little man, with mini toboggan
He plops to his belly - in the snow
and he goes
Evil Knievel had nothing on him
20 or more times into the cold blue sky,
he goes
"Do it again! Do it again!"
Todder gathers scattered limbs
and scoots to the top of the hill again
To challenge all our icy dreams
Home in a crystal winter kingdom
Home in the country's finest farmland
Two brothers and a sister we could fly
Sunset orange through skeleton trees
Brittle fingers and breath that steams
A silent winter sky - that slowly dies
and three stumble home - tired and cold
Ice upon ice… Skeletrees
Rosy cheeks and dreams
When the school bus finally brings us home
Bundled warmly - in the drifts of snow

Wicked Sandbox
One day the world will be a wave
of anger and hate
That is not the way
And today the water and air fill with waste
But who am I to say
that that is not the way?
I want to live I want to stay
You've really got to be a lover of pain
You've got to really want to stay alive
in a cave
It sure seems we're headed that way
Progression Expansion Distinction Agression
Bloodshed no more my world
Everyday a million times a minute
there are millions spitting in it
How are we going to rise above it?
How are we going to solve it?
How are we going to heal the hole
in our stomachs
If we don't even care about it?
You know that not one of us can solve it
The only way is within us all
The only brick we can build with is love!

My Burning Time
Tucked in the mud in a mucky ole rut
Burned and thirsty blackened land
A shattered man in sweat and grime
The best of all my burning time
The mountain falls and the stone erodes
Ambition screaming "Defeat zero!"
Of all the lovers in my life
I love you best my burning time

Kiss A The Cold
Oh Mr. President I am a dying slave
Marijuana, Cocaine
Crack a my mind is a gutter spittoon
My loss of life isn't much to lose
What I crave is killing me
I kiss the cold reality
Mr. Sexuality spit away the moral dream
What disease?
Cheap and sleazy fire blazing
Twist the kiss a little colder
Decay---destruction is golden
It will allow me to do anything!
Simplicity
I heard just one wise man scream
Oooh Mr. Solitude now what do we see?
Oh a kiss a the cold deep inside of me
Starving pupil - blackened vacuum
Vacant circus - skeleton zoo

Love, Craig
Oh I thank you life you wild wired mother
I hated you once just yesterday
Only because you beat me
Only because I love you
You made me beg and today I kiss you
Oh I thank you pain
you familiar cutting brother
I let you in to show me a way
But you twisted my love into a fang
and you sent all joy wandering away!
I can't believe in your way!!
Oh I thank you mother life
Wild wired mother
I hated you so much just the other day
Only because you whipped me
Only because you love me
You made me yours
and one day I will miss you so........

Precious Human Stress
There is only gain in safety
But so we go into the black cold night
Where there is warmth
One must know such a place
The atmosphere is so rare and inviting
And slowly we do strip our rampant desires
Because they twist, and they whip
To the point of gasping nauseation
Cool me mother music
without you such emptiness

Down Beat Dirt Messiah
Down Beat Dirt Messiah
I come up from the clay
I am Earth - I eat the dirt
I am a raw torn broken bone
I say to you I save myself
Take away temptation
walk-a-my way
To the light - I know - I can
Make it happen
I can do anything!
Down Beat Dirt Messiah
I scream up to the sky
"Why am I so heavy?"
I cannot control this clumsy life
I am a man of passion
desire chaser - thrill seeker
man of passion
Sucking eyes - sucking mind
All out hunting --- man of passion!!
Down Beat Dirt Messiah
I come up from the clay
I am a raw torn broken bone
I say to you I save myself
Take away temptation
walk-a-my way
to the...........Light!!!
 

Mack Bolasses
My love is a caldron
My loss is a vacant plain
endless - horse and hay
Black Molasses
midnight pours into the lung
White street light stinging rays
reminding me
Stainless steel,
edgy ray opening until
It is there to see solitude (solid truth)
devouring!
Peering tongue - delicious
Twist and tease the shreds of these
Our stone cold moments of lonely truth
Are absolutely ------ lovely
My love ---- is a caldron

Blue Fly Fish Sky
I'll tell you it's a damn strange time
for me to fall in love
I want to carry you into that
baby blue sky above
Down by the lakeshore
we see a million swimming blue fish
weaving through the waves
I carry you onto the sand
and we dance like Aborigines
hand in hand
Girly whirly gonna share some time
together this soft summer night
Fine wine & chocolates
sweetie pie you know
we're getting mooshy all the time
Chivalry and I love you
we're gonna soak ourselves
in sweet perfume & fine cologne
Little love letters & cutesy calls
on the telephone
I'll tell you it's a damn strange time
for me to fall in love
I want to carry you into that
baby blue sky above
Fine wine & chocolates
sweetie pie you know
we're getting mooshy all the time
Chivalry and I love you
we're gonna soak ourselves
in sweet perfume this summer night

Papa Mugaya
Papa Mugaya
you've really done it this time
You were a man of many dreams
But not enough reality
Papa Muguya
you see how you've lived your life
Never ever satisfied
one more midlife suicide!
We believed in you - we believed
We bought stock in every struggle
We had faith in every scheme
Now it is clear
so many dreams but so insecure
Papa Muguya
From where came this emptiness
Never ever satisfied
Always filled with fire
You could have - learned - to live right
Papa Muguya
you've really done it this time
You're a man of many dreams
But not enough reality
But we believed in you - we believed
We bought stock in every struggle
We had faith in every scheme
It's just too bad - you didn't!

Oooh
You are mine
Love is the only thing that can never die
Love is the only thing that can never die!
And you are mine
