Cad

Whenever you call me

And I’m not on the phone,

If you have a problem

And you find me at home,

You know you can

Count on me that much.

If you said you need me,

Just a couple days, I’m there.

I’ll drop what I’m doing

If it’s something I don’t care about

You can count on me that much.

Ours is just like one of those fairytales.

Ours is just like one of those shows. 

One thing bout our love that’s different;

It’s not a love that grows.

I’ll always be with you

When there’s nothing else to do.

When everyone’s busy

There’ll be only me and you.

It’s clear you can count on me that much.

Would you say it’s all you’ve been hoping for?

Would you really prefer something new?

Where else would you get this much

Attention devoted to you?

So don’t think you’re not special.

You’re kind of special to me.

There’s no one else like you.

Well maybe there’s just two or three.

Be sure you can count on me that much.

That Much

Unashamed . . .

https://www.facebook.com/FriedrichNietzscheAuthor/

 

Should every man yield to the yearning unashamed
Without hypocrisy and wastefulness;
Squander the strength he’s been endowed with;
Feign superiority as tunnel vision’s all he sees?


I’m trying to develop a superman;
Dionysus evolving into perfect humanity.

Gadding about helping each other get along
Won’t make us build the kind of man I see.
Inferiors are weak copies of betters
Printed on bad paper from old and worn-out plates now gone.

Selection, survivors mastering;
Bettering the species, irrespective of
Everything you’ve ever learned
About what’s right or wrong.

You hear the word, you’re quoting scripture that you learned
Originating from a deity.
But should that motivate your actions?
Such self-serving rewarding scheme. 

Yours or mine, that’s what both seem.

Melancholy . . .

https://depositphotos.com/stock-photos/melancholy.html

 

It’s a melancholy world
When you can’t tell 
The stones from the pearls.
You can’t image what
My motives are 
Or what I’m feeling.
But the lights are bright
On Broadway
As the birds begin to sing.
As America pours her first
Cup of coffee,
It’s a melancholy world.

It’s a melancholy world 
Choosing between the 
Big brass ring or the girl.
I just can’t seem to 
Hold on to the dreams
I’ve worked so hard for.
But the crowd is there
At midnight 
And the party’s just begun.
There’s a gold invitation
That bears my name
But it’s gotten lost in the mail.
It’s a melancholy world.

The mirror holds the 
Same old dour reflection 
That it used to.
But the sun will rise 
In the morning,
And the stars will light the night.
If they just took the time;
Listened to my sad song.
It’s a melancholy world.

Treachery . . .

https://penmancy.com/perfidy/

What’s in a name

Words are just words

Such compromise

Faithless was she

Deceitfulness; treachery

Breeching a trust; perfidious

No way to know 

Well in advance

Now it’s all clear

Reaped what she sowed

She had to go

Dishonor waits 

On perfidy

Rising above 

Your misery

False man forgets worldliness

Minus or plus; perfidious

Cowards and fools 

Hiding beneath lies

Accusat’ry

In you just like me

Will not die

Duplicity; two-facedness

Untrustworthiness confuses me

Such perfidy

Disloyalty

Baseless intrigue

Can it go on 

Indefinitely;

Perfidy?

Heart . . .

https://unsplash.com/s/photos/heart-and-soul

Sometimes the performance

Takes precedence over all,

Be there errors, be there clams.

Though, in length, may be deficient,

Compensation's found in the heart 

And the soul of the melody.

At least that's what I think.

Roomful . . .

 

https://blogs.bmj.com/bjsm/2021/05/27/hop-distance-the-elephant-in-the-room/

Love,

Triumphs I’ve heard,

Over all.
Is it really true?

One 

Many-splendored thing,

Conquering 

Obstacles revealed.

Gathered for this occasion, 

Politely civil in a social dance.

Mannerly; respectful discourse,

All in a room that’s full of elephants.

Talk,

Civility, 

Must be maintained

So we don’t set them free.

How many people 

Exist right here in this place,

So much the same?

Pride always goes

Before the fall so they say.

It’s like a parade.

Don’t 

Think its your own 

Imagination ‘cause its it’s real.

Though, 

Circus-like true, 

These pachyderms cannot be viewed.

                          2014

Ahora . . .

OHO's first release since our 2018 Gazebo album. 13 years in the making, this linkage of musical/lyrical extrapolations, prompted by an attendee's experience during morning sittings at a 2005 Guitar Craft course, manifest in this 36+ minute "operetta." Composed initially while musing on a Maryland beach during the aughts on a Martin Backpacker, and with basic tracks performed on an acoustic guitar strung in the New Standard Tuning. "This adventure should be consumed as a whole. Wondrous interlocking melodies buttress the theme of discovery. The plentiful instrumental interludes serve as guides while respectfully nodding to progressive music's golden era. Addictive stand-alone tunes pass through this expedition widening the musical palette while functioning as a novel's chapters. The exquisite placement of chosen instrumentation adds the desired spice to possess the listener's (now- galvanized) attention. Adrenalin jacks are plentiful, induced by spine-tingling crescendos. Ahora! is the culmination of the OHO experience thus far. Amazingly, after 49 years, there seems to be absolutely no decline in the quality of an OHO release. This, my friends, is another of the multiple peaks experienced during their highly creative journey. Discover the now...BULL'S EYE!!" (Warren Barker, Progression Magazine)
