Poetry and Promises

Alright, so a couple of people have asked me to republish the lyrics to some of the songs i wrote a long time ago, cause my archives are hard to navigate. For simplicity's sake, I have started a new blog, only for poetry. I imagine most won't read it; I have put on to begin with, a few of the more recent ones, or the more monumentous ones.

The address is: www.poetryandpromises.blogspot.com

In case anyone cares.

The Would-Be Chef D'Oeuvre

The sections of the song that are in quotations are quotes from Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". A brief synopsis can be found at the following website for anyone who is unfamiliar with the play (though I highly recommend reading it. Easily my favorite of the Shakespearian Comedies)

http://www.nodanw.com/shows_b/beatrice_benedict.htm

Beatrice and Benedict

So many words are passed
And yet so little has been said
Caught up in the webs we’ve woven
To hide the truth that we both dread
Mask, ignore, erase
Pretend it isn’t real
Til we stand at a stalemate
Neither ready to reveal
What we can’t conceal
The finger’s prick on a spinning wheel
That led us down this path

“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never”

Beatrice and Benedict
Would have sworn they never knew
All the banter, the disdain, the anger
Was need, was passion misconstrued
And all the eyes around them
Saw what they never could have seen
Sometimes things aren’t always what they seem
Sometimes things aren’t always what they seem

You toss your words around
Like little daggers to the heart
Of whatever hope existed
That must first be torn apart
Rancor, spite and venom
But something more still bleeds true
There’s never been anyone like you
That could make me feel
So completely real
When everything else around is an illusion
Can we still fall back on our sad delusions?

“Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love”

Beatrice and Benedict
Were king and queen in their denial
The push, pull, the love, the hate
The never ending trials
And only through the eyes around them
Could they see how they’d been blind
But real life doesn’t seem to work that way
And we are not but players in some Shakespearian play
No, we are not but players, and our world is not a stage

So cower now, and don’t dig deep
And we'll protect the secrets that we keep
And we won’t listen to a word that they say
Maybe it’s just better off that way
Beatrice and Benedict belong in plays
Beatrice and Benedict belong in plays
“Speak low if you speak love.”
“Speak low if you speak love.”

Last Night

Last Night, Kevin Smith, director of Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Mallratts, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back borrowed my cell phone to call a total stranger and leave the following message on his answering machine: Fuck You.

He did not know the answer to the question of 'when the mongols ruled China' but did make a decent guess by saying between the 7th and 8th Centuries. I laughed. A lot. He had no Stanley Cup predictions. Didn't want to piss off the Oilers fans. Smart Man.

Good times.

Circus Clown

I am weak
I am broken
I am battered
I am bruised
I am hollow
I am lonely
I am wretched
And abused

I am angry
I am scared
I am guilty
Unprepared
I am blind
And I am deaf
I would scream
but there's none left

Strong
Tell me what it means
To be strong
When everything it seems
has gone so wrong
And every painful step along
This obstacle course
is wearing me down
Just another crying circus clown
I am not strong

I am jaded
I am raw
I've been conquered
By what I saw
I'm a cynic
I'm a knave
I've forsaken
I have craved

I'm a bully
I'm a child
I am raging
I am wild
I am clingy
I am strife
I am dying
I am life

Strong
Tell me what it means
To be strong
When everything it seems
has gone so wrong
And every painful step along
This obstacle course
is wearing me down
Just another crying circus clown
I am not strong
