Lullaby

Butterfly, sing to me a lullaby
Of the wonders I placed in a box
I am in the middle of time
In the middle of theft and crime
Take me away to the fantasy
Of living in truth and honesty
I'll listen to your whisper
Carefully and attentively
Why would I do otherwise?
You know I try to be wise
I am open to your lullaby
Dear butterfly
Can you see it in the depth of my eyes?
Sing to me about the place I dreamt of
Bring me the true message of love
Take with you a message of my own
To the skies you fly in
That I expected my wings to have grown
By this time in my life
How come I feel glued to the ground?
With hungry wolves all around
They want to take everything
Even your beautiful sound

In Four Walls

In the pit of my stomach…
I hold my chest
My hands hold nothing else
I go forward with my bed ready
To embrace me when I pull back
I know I can't make it
My tank has been emptied
The love and care and understanding
Somehow flew out the windows
And now I keep them shut
I can't stay with myself anymore
I've seen too much of how I am
And too much of who they are
Nothing but a big bore
Being either rich or poor
Everyone seems to fly carelessly
Into the soft clouds
They smile so endlessly
My voices are too loud
Maybe yours is too

You know you can get gaudy with something, and they didn't do that. To me, I think it's very tasteful, well done, with the silver and gold and the engraving. I think it's very tasteful.

The Castle Of Indolence

The castle hight of Indolence,
And its false luxury;
Where for a little time, alas!
We lived right jollily.

O mortal man, who livest here by toil,
Do not complain of this thy hard estate;
That like an emmet thou must ever moil,
Is a sad sentence of an ancient date:
And, certes, there is for it reason great;
For, though sometimes it makes thee weep and wail,
And curse thy star, and early drudge and late;
Withouten that would come a heavier bale,
Loose life, unruly passions, and diseases pale.
In lowly dale, fast by a river's side,
With woody hill o'er hill encompass'd round,
A most enchanting wizard did abide,
Than whom a fiend more fell is no where found.
It was, I ween, a lovely spot of ground;
And there a season atween June and May,
Half prankt with spring, with summer half imbrown'd,
A listless climate made, where, sooth to say,
No living wight could work, ne cared even for play.
Was nought around but images of rest:
Sleep-soothing groves, and quiet lawns between;
And flowery beds that slumbrous influence kest,
From poppies breathed; and beds of pleasant green,
Where never yet was creeping creature seen.
Meantime, unnumber'd glittering streamlets play'd,
And hurled every where their waters sheen;
That, as they bicker'd through the sunny glade,
Though restless still themselves, a lulling murmur made.
Join'd to the prattle of the purling rills
Were heard the lowing herds along the vale,
And flocks loud bleating from the distant hills,
And vacant shepherds piping in the dale:
And, now and then, sweet Philomel would wail,
Or stock-doves plain amid the forest deep,
That drowsy rustled to the sighing gale;
And still a coil the grasshopper did keep;
Yet all these sounds yblent inclined all to sleep.
Full in the passage of the vale, above,
A sable, silent, solemn forest stood;
Where nought but shadowy forms was seen to move,
As Idless fancied in her dreaming mood:
And up the hills, on either side, a wood
Of blackening pines, aye waving to and fro,
Sent forth a sleepy horror through the blood;
And where this valley winded out, below,
The murmuring main was heard, and scarcely heard, to flow.

I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.

Lets talk about something beautiful
On the face of this earth, something very close to you
About something that is tasteful
Like something that makes the heartbeat faster
Certainly/probably something is very interesting/pleasant

Melting Pot

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red indian boy
Oh like a curly latin kinkies
Oh lordy, lordy, mixed with yellow chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the beatles or the sun god
Well it really doesnt matter
What religion you choose
And be thankful little mrs. graceful
You know that livin could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think Ill call up the queen
It s only fair that she knows, you know, you know
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Coffee coloured people
Coffee coloured people
Coffee coloured people by the score

Boys & Girls

Boys and girls come out to play, playing till theyre old and grey
Time to leave the old school suit, grown ups can be real cute
Do you think theyre wiser than in the past
How long do you think its gonna last
I dont have to prove to you adults can be kidding too
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls stay home today
Think theyre more mature that way
Secret friends can soon be found
Indiscretions underground
Maybe growing up can seem more graceful
If they make their style become more tasteful
With your looks you could go far
But better watch the calendar-iahhh
(the sound of a church wedding)
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh

Warmth

Pull over
Let me do all the work
Chorus
My hands wrapped around
Stroking up and down
But nothing can compare to
The warmth of my mouth
I love every sound you make
When I'm down
Nothing can prepare you for
The Warmth of my
Verse 1
Mouth against your mouth
Getting you aroused
Whisper in your ear
I think I'll take it further south
Kissing on your neck
Rubbing on your leg
Slide a little further up
I feel you get erect
And now we're flesh against flesh
Breathing on your chest
So anxious to touch it
My mouth is getting wet
Just like the water from the shore
Let your rain pour
Baby brace yourself for
Chorus 2
My hands wrapped around
Stroking up and down (let's see how long you can last inside)
But nothing can compare to the warmth of my mouth
I love every sound you make
When I'm down (Just hear the water splash about)
But nothing can prepare you for
The warmth of my mouth
No place warmer than my mouth....
Bridge
Start off slow
Circles
Then deeper and deep it goes
Kisses so sensual
Tasteful
I love giving you a show
The warmth of my...
Do you like that?
Now it's my turn

I don't think that people should wear dresses two sizes too small. I just think that sexiness is better left to the imagination. It's just more tasteful.

I think a woman's body is so much more sensual than a man's. I'm not saying strip off all your clothes, but there are certain photos I like people taking of me, where I'm comfortable. As long as it's tasteful, why not?

Hate Everything About You

Night after night, day after day. I pass by the house that once was our home. I look through the windows, I lean on the bell. theres a light but theres no sign of you. the strangers new car i
Driveway tells me your there. I know youre there. I feel like a chump doing time on the street. low life and useless as the rags on my feet showin through. you dont know how much I hate everything about you. your honey red lips and your eyes big and sparkling blue. the curve of your hips and your black irish hair. sends a shiver that runs through me too. you dont know how much I hate you, wish it was true. the alleys are dark, sidewalks are bare. times on my hands empty and cold. Im looking for something to knock out the night. till the sun comes up shining like new. the chill in my bones reminds me life isnt fair. and nobody cares. to the lost souls surviving on hard knocks and vice. in a world just as nasty as your world is nice. (baby blue). you dont know how much I hate everything about you. your voic
E like good bourbon so elegant, tasteful and smooth. youre a goddess, a priestess, a temptress, a queen. greta garbos got nothing on you. you dont know how much I hate you, wish it was true. you were kind to my brother. and good to my friends. you were passionate, faithful and strong. I must have been sleeping. it feels like a dream. I cant tell just where I went wrong. like a dog in the garbage with rocks in my head. Im strung out and crazy and cant find the thread, running through. you dont know how much I hate everything about you. the poison that runs through my veins telling me what to do. with a flick of a match I could burn down this house. taking every last memory of you. you dont know how much I hate you. I say, you dont know how much I hate you. you dont know how much I hate you. I wish it was true. oh, yes I do.

Artist or Hurt(ist)

Artists have special tastes
They display their talents
To please the
Audience, if direct
Viewers, readers, if away

Their creations never meant
To hurt others
Their works invariably trigger an
Excitement among their fans
And in less artful general public
A wonder at the marvel outcome of
An extraordinary imagination and
Its delighting display

Artful creators invade the hearts
Of all, cutting across region or religion
A tasteful art form
Penetrates hearts of people
Of even less learned level
Cartoonists too fall in the category
Despite their spicy displays for their
Demonstration of wit
And extended interpretation
Of a personality or an event

Art touches the hearts
Cleanses it off ill feelings
And some creations
Educate and enlighten

Real art is one, which has common appeal
And even after a snap-shot exposure to it
People fall in love with the creation

There is no hidden intension in an art
There is no vulgarity in an art
There is no belittling of some person/sect nor a faith in an art

Artistic creation
Loses its status
If found to have hurting elements
To be depicting biased versions of reality
And to have been created of bad taste
With a seemingly draw-attention intent

Despite the excellence and the social acclaim of the artist,
Creator of such arts
Does not deserve to be called an artist
But, yes

Priceless Beauty

My cup is being poured with tasteful liquor of tea.

A prominent face comes gradually in front of me.

So many commitments have been proclaimed by him(for the sake of our society)

I'm just here to consign a request politely.

Of course, I must as he is an executive of our society.

So, I am being served with a cup of tea…….

Now, I said to him, ' Sir, we need several activities

As the slam dwellers are being suffered from servility-only your executive power can diminish.'

Though He knows about the calamities,

But he don't want to surcease.

Therefore, I got a clement smile,

and a response, ‘ No'.

He just shows his pride.

He just explores his parade.

He is just a glib.

Now, I have to go back with grieves.

I couldn't fetch a hope, and pleasure on their faces like dry petal leaves.

A man, I think, becomes a beast

When two reasons I'm going to enlist (for it) .

Firstly, he might be a dreamless

Like a day surmounts in sunless,

Explicit Pictures

I am very fine and you are very glad,
But stripped naked was the muse of your love last night!
And like the impression of your service offered;
But with quite explicit pictures,
And your presented love-food was quite well and tasteful.

Fully Riped

Of the clusters of your vine of love,
Of the grapes of your breasts which are fully riped!
I will now swim in your great river of love with,
A kiss from your winepress.
I have waited dearly for you and,
Your love is very rich and tasteful;
Like the sea of romance mingled with love.
I have been waiting for this love like,
The sea of passion mingled with emotions;
And today i am made whole like a man because,
You have given me your sweet love.
