handyman...

went to bed last night 
wasn’t nothin’ right
no bing in my life ain’t got no zing
so many things needin’ fixin’
but what’s a girl ta do
some things just take two
course, i do what i can
but i need me a handyman
 

 
went to bed last night and just couldn’t sleep
wound up thinkin’ ‘bout countin’ some sheep
tossed and turned and tossed some more
had a little fever that couldn’t be ignored
curled up like a baby and sucked my thumb
but sleep wouldn’t come
course i do what i can
but i need me a handyman 

went to bed last night and by mornin’s light
fever’s so high thought i’d ignite
feeling all tired and blue
sweet tastin’ elixir long overdue
but there i was home all alone
all dressed up in just my cologne
course i do what i can
but i need me a handyman
 

went to bed last night stayin’ in bed till noon
kept thinkin’ bout that big ‘ole moon
lay there in my bed with my head in my hand
gettin’ real tired of a life all bland
so i got up and found those yellow pages
ain’t gonna be livin’ them dark ages
course i do what i can
but i’m gonna git me a handyman

lost...

feel

so
lost
can’t see
outside
of
me
through
the

dark
hole
in my heart
feel
so

lost
can’t see
inside

of
me
try
as
i
might
can’t find

the

light
feel

so

lost

gypsywoman gypsywoman...

gypsywoman gypsywoman

i see you here

i see you there

i see you everywhere
but who are you gypsywoman

with sweet words and a pretty smile
your spirit tempts taunts

but do i dare 
would you could you be

 the gentle breeze here today 

and gone tomorrow 
softly fluttering 

sooth my aching heart

ease my hidden sorrow

 * * * * * 

a gentle breeze i am not 

i am the storm of storms a gale force wind
the tempest fierce

the raging tsunami taking with it all defenses
sweeping away washing away

the debris of yesterday 

this life transcend
so do you want to know 

to really know the who and what of me
or would you rather just imagine me 

on the playground of what if
where your heart of stone

is safe and sound 

from the likes of 

me

this wild banshee

~

he dares...

to ripple my lake -

yes

he

does!

deep down dirty burnin' mind-dancin'...

so

do you
do you dare
to dance with me
 
do you dare
to dance with me
to really dance with me
you know the kind
the dance
the dirty dance
the deep and dirty dance
the one
deep down inside the me of me
where you can see
all there is of me
and
dance with me there
there
in the deep and dirty
way down inside of me
there where
when we dance

and you hold me close
all that deep and dirty
works its way up from
the deep and dirty shadows
of my past
and
grips you just like
the arms of me
because
it
is
a part of me
that deep and dirty

so
do you
do you dare

to dance with me

do you dare
to dance with me
to really dance
with me
you know the kind
the dance
the fire dance
the dance of fire
deep down inside the me of me
where you can feel
all there is to feel of me
and
dance with me there
there
in the burning fire of me
the fire deep down inside of me
there
where when we dance

and

you hold me close
that raging fire flames its way up from
deep down inside of me
from the fire that burns to eternity
and
grabs you like the legs of me
singeing you burning you
causing you to burst into flames
just like the burning pit in me
deep down inside of me
because
it
is
a part
of me
that burning fire

so
do you
do you dare
to dance with me
 
do you dare
to dance with me
to really dance with me
you know the kind
the dance
the mind dance
the dance of the minds
the dance of words
the one
deep down inside the me of me
where you can read
all there is of me
and
dance with me there
there
in my mind
the mind deep down inside of me
where words take a life of their own
there
where words
do the deep and dirty dance
the dance of fire of desire
there
there where
when we dance
and
you hold me close
all those words
those verb words
work their way
down from
the mind of me
and grab you like
the magic in me
because
they
are
a part
of me
those words

so
do you

do you dare

to dance with me
the me of me
the all of me
in the deep down and dirty
in the burning pit of fire
in the magic of my mind
of my soul

deep down inside of me

do you
