LORD, HAVE MERCY

I found this old crucifix buried under all these things.
The fact that Jesús was nailed to the cross,
It makes you wonder…
Your faith manifests itself.
How much suffering in the world is there?
We get back on our feet only to fall back down again.
Suddenly, I’m drowning in the deepest of the world’s oceans.
Amid this emotional turmoil, I think to myself…
Wait a minute, I have faith; I know it…
Meanwhile, the world is turning.
Things don’t always work out…
Shit happens, you know…
I open my eyes…
I’m holding this cross tightly inside my fist,
And the sight of you sobbing doesn’t urge me
To put my arms around you,
It makes me wonder…

There is all this darkness coming over me,
It’s a shadow over my head.
The universal order of things,
Which moves the oceans and the lands…
The world keeps on turning…
Oh shit, what have we done?
God is watching over our heads now.
Judgment day is creeping in,
Just like the first rays of sunlight
Hit our numbered days everyday.
Please God, just watch over her head now…
It’s all am asking you for.
Lord, have Mercy!

My evangelist friend recently told me
That I could always talk to Jesus,
Not with prayer but with very words.
The other day I finally went to do some Jatha Yoga,
I even danced to the Hare Krishna chants right after…
Nothing seems to work here…
I think I’ve used all the strength I had left in me,
I’ve come as far as I can go.
I just climbed the highest mountain in the world
And looked up at the sky
Only to see the grey cloud that hunts me now,
which prevents sunlight from reaching my head.
As if I was blinded by it, I roll my eyes turning my head away,
And I wonder…
Why did you stick around and wait for this to happen?
I mean, why the fuck didn’t you just tell me before?
God dawm…

You couldn’t believe the tears I’ve shed lately.
Our dearest treasure caught in the middle…
For Christ sake, she’s so fragile and little.
It’s too dawm painful…
The sight of her makes me cry instantly…
Having her in the first place was such a divine blessing…
But now, I’ve got to look beyond the cracks,
I don’t wanna fall in the devil’s trap.
I know shit happens, but still…
I don’t wanna drown in this mess.
To be a cheating Judas would kill me imminently,
I wanna leave a legacy of faith, hope and charity to her.
Thus, the world keeps on turning…
How could I possibly make it up to her?
She won’t understand…
When our so-called protection is so corrupt,
Again, it makes you wonder…

What does the future hold for us?
I’m afraid this is for the best.
Jesus Christ!… Please forgive us.
Now that I’ve found it,
I shall hold on to this cross.
I wanna be a solid rock like Saint Peter was.
I know I can put my knees firm on the ground,
And pray to God that we can get through this safe and sound.
She’s a tough one; I know it…
She’ll understand that, finally, we may all rest…
As it is ought to us,
In the name of The Father, of The Son and The Holy Spirit,
Let there be light in our path again.
Mercy bestowed on us!..
Amen to that!

CANDY LOVING

Sweet and beautiful soft skin, I’m splendidly dreaming…
That you’d unfold me, grab me, want me…
I’ll protect you, I’ll taste you, I’ll have you.
Those bitter-sweet lips, so soft and lonely,
as if waiting for the charming touch,
a perfect moment and a perfect gentleman.
Honey, our eyes were meant to meet again…
Such a loving surprise with a box of chocolates,
in a heartbeat I’ll be at your door.
I’ll be your toy, a transforming one for taking apart.
Starving sensation, gently savoring defeat.
The stars will shine right then and there.
Anywhere you like, there will be no wasting time.
The taste of truth, isn’t it so sweet?

We are one, I feel so whole, and I feel so young.
Gimme some of that candy when I get there.
I can taste it with my tongue, your bittersweet loving.
You know about this longing, it’s written in the stars.
Honey, I’m dying to eat from your sweet loving candy.
So warm and wet, I’ll be right in there.
Peaches and Cherries when I open your fridge…
Since it’s not my heart, it’s gotta be physical chemistry.
I know we’ll have each other from there to eternity.
I care so much and I want it so bad.
I’m your tender loving man! Yeah!
“My thirsty loving”
In honest truth, black magic has to do with this.
Everywhere, we’ll let ourselves go.
You’ll feel me from head to toes.

If you’d only caressed my hard-ass ego.
Blessed be that moment…
On and on you’ll come with your candy loving.
Your hair will be all over.
Arousing goose-bumps, and static feeling skin deep,
let me hold you, unfold you, tingle you,
caress you, massage you, feel you…
‘Cause I’ll be your kind understanding man,
“My candy loving” for eternity.
It’s gotta be your spell delicately playing tricks on me.
No hurting hearts this time around though.
We’ll share it again and again…
With your body language you’ll signal the way.
However we go about it, there’d be no turning back.
I’ll be at the mercy of your candy loving…

Anywhere, everywhere, and however you want it…
You’ll open your eyes to watch me,
As I lay down relinquishing the hunger.
Bittersweet flavor, finally upon my luster feat…
I can just taste it, it’s a picture perfect revelation.

Anywhere, everywhere, and however long you want it…
You’ll proudly open up for your hard working man,
Begging by means of your candy loving.
Bittersweet hearts, we’ll fall prey to deceit…
Right then and there, I’ll be your today’s man.

“My candy loving”…
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
You’re so tight,
my bitter-sweet honey…
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
“You’re my candy loving”…

No John

John’s worried about fuel prices
and sky high mortgages to come.
Sits down on the couch and dreams of the day
That we shall all be free…
Trying to make sense of things.

He thinks to himself for the hundredth day,
What if I was in sand-matching uniform?
A shaved head interrupts his panoramic sight,
His personal safe haven suddenly crumbles.
Safe ground starts trembling again…
Back to reality code red…

Yes sir, Oh sir,
Bring it on man, take your time to decide.
Another round and another blast it is.
The fall is deep and dark, more so than you think.
It’s been a while since he’s felt like this.
Back to reality pussy…

Time might heal old wounds,
And suppress leftover cowardice.
But he can stay in all day if he wants now.
Guilty pleasure is turning around on him.
Speaking of pussy…
Get Back, Back, Back, Back…

Get back here, Roger!
Lately, an all too often souvenir,
A little fragment lingering inside his head,
which detonated not too long ago.
A plain and difficult-to-conceive deja vu.
And he feels the pressure closing in.
Get back to your feet…

He recalls the little village girl,
a 16 year-old athlete with
mommy lying on her death bed
and unimaginable living conditions.
Already she’s an Olympic winner!
Get back here right now…
Back, Back, Back, Back…

Back to the local news…
Flips the channel,
Yes we can! it reads loud and clear…
Together we shall all be free…
The change will happen.
Come on now!
Get back to reality,
Or keep on dreaming…
That you’re back…
Back, Back, Back…
Home…

Is the world a safer place?…

Back Home with his gear still on…

ELEMENTAL ENOUGH

City lights, cars passing by,
The poor and the rich intertwined.
Day to day it all materializes
Like particles in the air.
Day and Night she counts the stars,
The breeze rubs against her hair.
She’s an angel, you see…
Who demoralizes about her own existence
Because she’s free, floating over these good airs…

Down on the ground, it’s a hollow place;
I’m only a brute masquerating as an angel.
It’s you who portrays me this way;
Elements of different shapes and colors
Circulating in my head.
None of them are cohesive enough
To make me wanna pursue my wildest dreams.
Elements elemental enough to guide my way.
Again and again we find ourselves so distant.

Is it a question of morality that you’re raising?
Is your conscience telling you otherwise?
Are you afraid?
Or perhaps is your mood reflecting your vice.
This is not an apology masquerating as forgiveness,
This is the present of the future babe…
Destiny is a tricky thing you see…
You never know when it will hunt you down
And bite you in the ass.

“I gotta learn sometime,
To hold on to myself,
To live her love, believe in love…”

If only there prevailed some sign of peace,
A better element that would compensate
For all the bad memories;
Beautiful shapes and colors.

“If only you’d look at me without your mask on.
It’s always been elemental enough for me…”

I wish there was some sort of measurement to this
That I could grab and toss away towards the stars,
As if to backtrack light-years into outer space.
At this point, my rhythm doesn’t skip a beat babe…
Must be the cosmos contemplating my dear…
I can dance all day and night
Because I don’t need a quick fix anymore,
And what do I have to gain?…
Absurd as it may sound, I want something amazing…

And yet, this here feels like such fucking pain.
Do I stay until the storm passes?
It’ll get colder in here anyway…
Soaking wet I’ll put up with it.
For you damw well know that you’ll forget
That our cosmos will collide in space again.
Ultimately, I just needed to sing
The sweetest tunes to level your heart
That keeps beating out of tune…

“I gotta learn sometime,
To hold on to myself,
To live her love, believe in love…”

If only you were there for me,
To lift me up from the ground,
Fill up the hollow with divine energy
And carry me…

“If only you would look at me without your mask on,
It’s always been elemental enough for me.”
