Weird World

Drip, Drip, Drip

Danced with the devil

Stepped on his tail

Got drunk in a tavern

I found Jesus in jail

Drank enough beer

To piss me an ocean

It’s hard to get lost 

If you don’t care where you’re going

Bummed me a smoke

Fired up a light

Now I’m stuck in this tree

Like a tattered old kite

Chased a few rainbows

Searching for a pot of gold

When I was young

I never thought I’d grow old

Times a wad of gum

Stuck on your shoe

You can try to out run it

But it’ll catch up with you

Fates a leaky faucet

It goes Drip Drip Drip

What you deserve

Is usually what you get

One night stands

Well I had me a few

When it comes to love

I bit off more than I could chew

Made some mistakes

but I paid my dues 

Smashed my TV

Tired of the same old bad news

You might same I’m crazy

Nutty as a fruitcake

If the fish ain’t bitting

It’s time to change your bait 

Chased a few rainbows

Searching for a pot of gold

When I was young

I never thought I’d grow old

Fates a wad of gum

Stuck on your shoe

You can try to out run it

But it’ll catch up with you

Times a leaky faucet

It goes Drip Drip Drip

The good times I’ll remember

Bad ones I’ll forget  

All That Ever Is

All That Ever Is

By Victor Uriz

The freeway sounds like the ocean, city lights look like stars

The ole moon singing down at me, to sound of a Spanish guitar

Trash dancing in the wind, my words cold clouds of steam

If I told you how I felt, would you say you still know what I mean

Streets dark and damp, puddles where the rain it fell

If I looked you in the eye, would you say you still know me well

Old friend have they gotten to you yet

Compromise yourself

Mayas what you get

What we become, these things we pretend

Careful what you value 

These things become you in the end

All that ever is, ever will be or was, from original sin, to unconditional love

Beneath a crooked smile, I hear a tenor sax sad and low

The nights so lonely, I feel it in the notes he blows

Play it sweet, make it true, Lay it down real sad, brother won’t you make it blue

We can change this world, if we change our minds

Put it down in poem, for the deaf the dumb and for the blind

Old friend, have they gotten to you yet 

Sacrifice yourself, Dharma’s what you get 

What we become, these things we pretend

Careful what you value 

These things become you in the end

All that ever is, ever will be or was, from original sin to unconditional love

Where No Ones Been

Where No Ones Been

When nothing seems to matter

And no one seems to care

Love leaves no trace

Autumn unfolds, naked and bare

What was it you said

As you turned and looked away

Come with me

Before we fall, and time fades away

Empty rooms

Empty space

No matter where I go

I always feel out of place

I know your scent

I know your skin

I know your touch

In those secret places where no one’s ever been

I swear I can hear your heart

I can taste your breath

If you’d only let me

I’d find you again between this life and death

Wherever you’d go

I’d follow you down

Through darkest of streets

Of the loneliest of deserted towns

Are you broken like me

Black and blue, painted sad

Letting go of all those little things

We could of had 

I know your scent

I know your skin

I know your touch

In secret places where no one’s ever been

Something

She was crying, crying so very hard, and it almost sounded the same as hysterical laughter——It was a sound steeped in deep emotions. Emotions are strange and uncontrollable but never wasted. She had the fading foundation of a woman who in her younger years was pretty, No, not pretty—-She had once been beautiful. She’s my Sad Autumn girl.
Getting older is rough, even more so for a woman. Losing ones attractiveness is a cruel trick of time. There’s no punch line, just laughter and tears——and we all live somewhere between the two?
Kindness is more attractive than beauty 
right there and then
I wanted to change my life
We all want to
We are all
Afraid to live
Afraid to die
some days leave us feeling like forever

Somedays will never be forgotten
somedays show us what we’re made of
It would take all my strength 
To beat back the darkness
When did it get to be so hard
Maybe nothing and no one changes
Or, maybe it’s only me who changes
I don’t really know anyone
Anymore

And no one knows me

I prefer it this way
I wanna figure it out
On my won
I miss everyone
Everything hurts
Nothings easy anymore
How do I carry on
I just want something
Something to hold on too
But something is so hard to find
I’m lost in the wonder of it all
and it makes me cry and laugh
living somewhere between the two

Private Moment

I bet you been on the other side of this thing before, but never with me

take me up to your room, to all those secret places

Take me to where nothing else matters

Shut the light off so I can see you better

the streets are full of people who have dreamed of having you

but they will never see you the way I do

cause I’ve seen you in me, and me in you

and maybe thats love, or a private lie

gonna dream in fire, roll like thunder

live like a child, lost in the wonder

the way of love

the way of change

don’t take the risk

if you can’t take the pain

You’re my mirror and I’m your echo

the distance between us grows ever closer

I bet you been on the other side of this thing before

but never with me

water colors, roll down your cheeks

a portrait painted in tears

I’d trade it all, for a private moment with you

Let the sky fall

and castles crumble

love becomes the truth

when your pride is humbled

the way of love

the way of change

don’t take the risk

if you can’t take the pain
