Nothing's The Matter With The Matter Of Me (Oldies From Voo's Vault)

 

Nothing's The Matter

                             With The Matter Of Me

I  had worked on my hair

It was all such a mess

But as they pointed out to me....

I had forgotten to dress.

I brushed most of my teeth

They were shiny and clean

But my socks were so dirty

With no shoes to be seen.

I cannot be expected

To remember these things

It's enough I am walking

Cause I've mislaid my wings.

I have run till I'm ragged

Then I fell with a thud

I have clothed with a feather

I have showered in mud.

I have been so imperfect

That I'm perfectly wrought

I have studied so hard

That I used all my thoughts.

I cannot say the matter

That's the matter with me

I'm just willy and nilly

And so silly, that's me.

So if you see me out flying

O're the top of some wall

Don't point out that I'm wingless

Cause I don't want to fall.

I'm a clown and a jester

I'm a sad little mime

And I know who I am

At least most of the time.

So, I'll leave you with that

Now that's all done and said

I will go finish my hair now.....Oh!

What have I done with my head??!!!

Obsession (An Oldie From Voo's Vault)

 Obsession

When I see your eyes

I lose my mind, I lose my balance

And I go tumbling down

Down into the deep, dark warmness of your soul.

When I see your mouth, I feel an overwhelming hunger

A thirst for the dew of your lips

A desire to be devoured by the one thing

That I cannot live without which is you.

When I feel your nearness, I cannot breathe, I cannot think

I can only feel and feeling you

Is all that sustains me, brings me to life

For life without you is not even existing.

Let us dance the dance of love

Let us eat the fruit of love

Hold me in your hands

 And feel my heart.

Hear me speak without words,

 See without eyes, love without reason

I am yours as surely

As the birds believe the sky is theirs,

I am yours as surely 

As the fishes think they own the sea

If I am deceived then it's because I wish to be

I am blind with my eyes wide open.

Loving you, I believe myself to be immortal

Loving you, I think my love to be indestructible

Yet every day that you're not here

I am destroyed and slowly dying.

I feel like a dry and arid desert 

Come, pour your love out on me

And I will blossom and flourish

Like a garden in your care.

I love you. I want you. I need you as air

Let me fall into your eyes

And tumble there forever

On and on, over and over

Forever and ever, falling in love.

Sometime in the past

One Last Sweet Time (Oldies from Voo's Vault)

 

One Last Sweet Time

on the edge of a dream at the edge of the dawn

not stirred enough to wake

I saw you walk into my view

and there did my breath take

from behind a veil of soft chiffon

 you stepped into the light

and oh, my cries as oh, my eyes

beheld that wondrous sight!

in golden glow you stood as though

in Heaven's spotlight stood

and smiled that smile that only you

could smile at me and would

I reached my hand to touch your face

but your face touched not my hand

it seemed you dwelt a thousand miles

away in another land

your eyes held mine in timeless time

and I looked at you and yearned

I tried to kiss those lips I love

but my kiss was not returned

a ghostly shadow pulled you back

and I tried to make you stay

but you faded as you told me you

did not want to go away

I held onto the dream till I

could not hold it any longer

and day was tapping at my door

and sun was growing stronger

I rose to open up the shades

and let the morning in

when came a knocking loud and long

two military men

in uniforms so starched and neat

with voices sad in tone

we're sorry to inform you of this news...

but the one you love is... gone

all day I sat there in the silence

looking for reason and rhyme

and finally, grateful that God let me

see you one last sweet time.
