So We Got A Little Crazy repost


So We Got a Little Crazy



So we got a little crazy

When the clock struck twenty-three
As the waiters in their penguin suits
Served champagne to you and me.

"Come here often?" asked your dark eyes

"No, not once." replied my own
"Then, you're lost and I have found you."
"Can I escort you back home?"

"You're a bold one aren't you, darling?"

"No, I'm really kind of shy."
And we did a silent tango
As you looked me in the eye.

"Care to dance?" you asked politely

As you pulled me to the floor
"No, not really." I protested
"I don't do dancing anymore."

"Is that a fact, now?" as you swirled me

And my hips began to sway
Your hand gliding down my bare back
As inhibitions fled away.

"More champagne?" you breathed in my ear

"I dare not." I tried to speak
But you pulled me closer to you
And my lips fell on your cheek.

"Waiter, bring another bottle!"

Sliding back the velvet chair
And we talked for thirty hours
Till no waiters waited there.

Then I sat on the piano

As you played "Tenderly" for me
In your bare-feet and my bare-feet
Till the clock struck eighty-three.

I was just in town for four days

You were just in town for ten
And you had no time for chasing
And I had no time for men.

But there was something in your dark eyes

And the way you sang a song
Made me wish I had a songbook
And that I could sing along.

Round 'bout dawn we heard a bell chime

And a sleeping waiter's snore
We put our shoes on and we tiptoed
Through the room and out the door.

In the shadow of the awning

You pulled me to you in the mist
Kissed my mouth with such conviction
That I knew that I'd been kissed.

"It's been great." I murmured softly

"Yes." you said with some delay
Then we got a little crazy
And both turned and walked away.

Valley Of Proud Men



 Valley of Proud Men



Sorrowed down
In the dirt of an unbloomed rose
I seek the light of a moon so weak
It cannot lift it's head.

What made me think
        I could find my way
Out of
This treacherous valley?

Where blood and bone
Have gone to ash
And dreams
Have turned to dust?

I hear the cries of moaning men
Their specks of life 
Snatched up by dogs
And buried under ground.

The whispers of the Old Ones rise
In the mouths of angry crows
And when they fly, the sky turns black
Like an endless, celestial sea.

I am an apparition now
Not dead or alive, not breathing breath
The ghosts of bison run me down
And the wolves devour my heart.

See them roaming
The tired brown earth?
Looking for flesh
        Of tired proud men?

The proud men 
Are all gone now
They live in memory
On the eyelids of the dead.

This is the place of massacre,
The land of boiling blood,
The resting place of those
Who cannot rest in death.

And I, you ask me, who am I?
I am the future that never was
The yesterday that died unborn
And the tomorrow that never came.

I am the nightmare
And eyeless vision,
Bitter water pooling forth
From the chasms of the earth.

Searching for the tall, green corn
And drums that beat for dancing
Riding on the backs of beasts
That no longer dare to fly.

I am the voice of children, silenced
And the howl of wolves, unheard
I am the desolation falling
That blankets out the sun.

Ride with me, my angry crow!
My hungry dog, my empty bow!
Ride with me on the bones of steeds
        Lying buried in the dust.

The mountains taunt me with their crowns
Stretching arms of evergreen
Point to splendor on their peaks
        Made virgin white with snow.

Calling me with teasing smile
To stand and walk the walk of men
The talking trees command me Come
And cool my fever with singing wind.

And I reach forth my eager hands
As seasons change and crawl away
Again and again seeking reprieve 
Touching my lips to the face of the sky.

The horse neighs,
The crow caws, the dog growls and sighs
As over and again, 
My hands fall to my side.

For the valley won't let me go
The valley won't let me go
I'm the shadow in the valley
Of the shadow of Death
And the valley won't let me go.
