SiP card #84: David & Katchoo kissing

Poems and Lyrics from the Stories

The poem David read Katchoo in the coffee shop:

And only legends know that once there were gods in the sea
Giants in size, with lullabye eyes, and dreams
But when the lands broke out in war
The oceans in between were raging storms and fiery hot
And filled with children's screams
A few survived to see the daywhen sunlight was dark amber
And heard the sounds of gods at sea
Leaving us
Forever.

--Star--

There's a shadow on my back
From a light that never cracks.
I come to you in my sorrow,
A broken man who has to borrow.
In my eyes it's plain to me,
You're my star and destiny.
An empty house I can't call mine,
Deep in debt and buying time.
Turn what's left of energy
Into you, my only dream.
In my eyes it's clear to me,
That you're my star
And destiny.
Shine for me,
Blind my sight,
Don't let me see
What I can't fight.
In my heart
You are there
Precious pain,
But I don't care
Cause in my eyes
It's clear to me
You're my star
And destiny.

I Still Dream of You

I don't know why but I do...
Dream of you.
Losing you...
I still dream of you.
Is it the same way for you?
Doesn't hi and goodbye sound so cruel?
How can I take my heart from you?
Even tho' I'm losing you,
I still dream of you.
Losing you...
I still dream of you.
I don't know why but I do...
Dream of you.
Losing you,
I still dream of you.
I still dream of you.

Strangers in Paradise

Scribbled and scratching
Half finished pages at dawn
People that live here are wondering
Where all their strength's gone.
Moments of splendor
Wind up like ashes in rain,
One look you're smiling,
Another your face is in pain.
I wake up at night
with the sweat on my head.
A look in your eyes
that will haunt me til dead.
I just can't seem to shake it,
Something about what you said;
How love's like an orphan,
A motherless child gone unfed.

So we laugh with the joker,
Hold back the tears til they're gone.
Drink and be merry
They'll find us all dead men at dawn.
We're so far away
From wherever we came
That sometimes I wonder
We'll see it again
It's true, what they say...
You can't always go home,
You can't always be warm inside.
That, in love, we're like orphans,
Strangers in paradise.

Baby June

I know you know the tale of Baby June
You know the way she could deliver a tune
She was a killer in a petticoat
A little bit of everyone you adore
And if you're baby let you down at night
Well, Baby June would make it up alright
And I was never ever happier
Than in the arms and in the charms of her

Echoes of Home...

Echoes of home are haunting me
It must be so, but
Oh God, why me?
Like a stone thrown 'cross the water
My eyes across the crowd
How rain my hope sails
on the day
til nightfall drags it down
In hell the women scream in pain
That echoes down my hall again.
At night their voices wake me
And I clutch my heart and pray they'll
leave. "A TOAST TO THEE"
my host did shout, tonight
at dinner, in this house,
yet now designs to murder me
And since I'm home
I cannot leave.

Said the straight...

Said the straight
man to the late
man,
"Where have you
been?"

"I've been here
and I've been
there, and I've
been in-between."

I talk to the
wind.
My words are all
carried away.

I talk to the wind.

The wind does
not hear.

The wind cannot
hear.

Do you remember yesterdays?

Do you remember yesterdays?
Do you remember what I was like down?
I feel that madness come my way
I must drink to the vicious clowns.
I don't know if they found your ears
But I used to have a lot of names
Then one so tender pushed me here
And I watched as they fade away.
Again I wake up on the tiles
It's like I was never gone.
And just before the pain comes on,
Remember, this is where I started from.

Somewhere far away...

Somewhere far away, the sky cries
out in thunder.
And there's nothing I can do.
So I wail. And I watch. And
I feel his breath against my face.
Cool and brave
His salt licks my skin, his promise
burshes my hair.
His fury drives the wind to touch
my cheek,
And whisper something I can't hear.
I think he loves me. I think he
comes to see me.
I am young.
I will learn.

If you're leaving me...

If you're leaving me
please don't tell me
You're still pleasing me
Do I fail you
I will wonder today
if tomorrow you'll stay
I can hear your voice turn cold 		when you turn to me I know
I'm the one who won't let go
Are you blaming me
for holding on
when you let me know
It's my last chance
And I know it's gone

All of my life...

All of my life
I was waiting for you
How is it we never met?
Here in the latter days
Time on my own
I find to much to regret.
All of the time I spend
Thinking of you
Nothing to say but I call.
Over and Over
It plays on my mind
How come you come and you go?
How is it happening only to me?
Now after all the time we spent
I was careless and made a slip
Suddenly your love is
Too much to lose
Now I've fallen in love with you.
Were you waiting for
My heart to break?
Though I've fallen
In love with you
I have fallen in love
Too late.

Effortlessly touching me

EFFORTLESSLY TOUCHING ME
FROM ACROSS THE ROOM IN
THE DEEPEST OF MY NEEDS
SHE HAS REASONS
ASTOUNDING ASTRONOMERS
BUT OH DELIGHTING ME.
I'LL OPEN UP MY HEART TO
YOU IF YOU'LL TELL ME WHY
YOU CALL YOUR LOVER THE
MOON. SHE HAS REASONS
ASTOUNDING ASTRONOMERS
BUT OH DELIGHTING ME.
MY MA MALAI.
MY MA MALAI.
