NEUROSES

If I were you, as miserable as this
I'd surely see the world like this

Rain and hot sun as weather's mess
A desasterous checkmate at boring chess
Waking up to a very sore throat
Freezing even with a warming coat
A journey in a silly car that smells
Through the countryside of Surrey's green hells
A joung dog with a very wet snout
Constantly running and jumping about
A moaning child sitting under the table
Me, losing my recharging cable
Some onions on a plate blue and white
Even if old not really right
Finally, you never giving me a call
And feathers, feathers, on top of it all

Let me tell you what I see
Since I chose it for me

Playful like puppies a black ball of wool
A climate never too hot or too cool
Having a jacket spare just in case
For a game there's always a time and a place
A cup from a past when none of us lived
With a plate and a saucer a precious gift
A girl full of joy who knows what she likes
Very good food after cross country rides
Surrey Hills so beautifully pure
A comfortable bed is always a cure
Getting a new recharger I lost
For once not having to worry about the cost
Instead of calling meeting you again
Even with a slight cold nothing's in vain

(C)
To HEB, 11 June

Didn't you tell me ten years
How do twenty fit in
Didn't you say no urges
How do needs get fulfilled
Didn't you speak of failures
How do we make it work

That silver lining is very bright
This far-out journey even
Might

If I needed you
More than any other thing
To be someone else

or: We All Lose



My heart is wounded by this war
Says my mind
But I have no blood

My life is threatened by this war
Says my heart
But I have no fear

My mind is blocked by this war
Says my life
But I have no tears

What ever force they use
What ever fence they build
There is no end to blood

What ever fight they fight
What ever fact they defend
There is no end to fear

What ever land they conquer
What ever life they take
There is no end to tears

I know what I hear
I know what I see
I know what I feel

As much as I cry out night and day
Force will never go away
Force is futile
But it will stay

Sill, one thing is absolutely true
No one, and certainly not me and you
No one can win a war
How ever we see it through
