you remind me of a creek
I used to walk along
that formed the border of Etobicoke and Mississagua
with my faithful dog
who was put to sleep by my family
after I did not return
much against my will
you remind me of the snow
I used to slide around
the rolling hills behind the house above the creek I recall
with my faithful heart
that was put to sleep by my family
after I did not return
much against my will
you remind me of the rain
I used to dance within
as it turned the gentle creek into a raging foaming storm
with my faithful dream
that was put to sleep by my family
after I did not return
much against my will
you remind me of the Spring
I slid into the creek
that formed the border of Etobicoke and Mississagua
with my faithful life
that was put to sleep
by my family
after I did not return
much against my will

Limits of Endurance
pushing past the limits of endurance can be done in many ways
in a few moments of fiercely vigorous exertion
after days without sleep
in love
even years of focusing on a single conundrum
pushing the limits of endurance can be done in many ways
and you can some times hear it when the music plays
all I have done at one time or another
reaching for bliss, rising against, conquering pain
all I have known at one time or another
and I feel I'm bound to know them all again
pushing the limits of endurance can be what this life is about
in a moment of experiencing peak epiphany
living beyond a hundred
in life
maybe the last thing a person has ever done
pushing the limits of endurance is how we prove we were here
it's in every new idea, every conquered fear
I have done it all at one time or another
reaching for bliss, rising against, conquering pain
I have known it all at one time or another
and I feel I'm bound to know them all again
but what gives it meaning, a purpose, a cause
what gives it feeling that before never was
how do we know it, we show it, we share
how do we tell each other that we care
pushing past the limits of endurance can be done in many ways
but when you give it a reason, your define you
giving it all you've got
in you
even after you've been torn up by your sacred friends
pushing the limits of endurance can drive a saint mad
maybe that's why so many prophets are sad
god is a monster, god is a dream
god is a devil that can not be seen
god is dog backwards, god is not real
god is the last thing that you'll ever feel
pushing past the limits of endurance can break a man down
but what does it all mean if no one can explain it
beaten and left for dead
and lost
maybe the only thing worth anything in this world
pushing the limits of endurance just to prove we're here
do we need to kill ourselves as well as it appears
just to find the courage to believe someone cares
I have done it all at one time or another
reaching for bliss, rising against, conquering pain
I have known it all at one time or another
and I feel I'm bound to know them all again
but what gives it meaning, a purpose, a cause
what gives it feeling that before never was
how do we know it, we show it, we share
how do we tell each other that we care

My Perfect Fantasy
do you take your lips for granted
do you know what they can do
the dreams they can inspire
the hope for kissing you
do you know the way you melt me
when you smile or when you pout
it may seem like nothing to you
but it's what I'm all about
do you take your legs for granted
do you know what they can do
the fantasies within them
do you even have a clue
do you know the way you send me
to the dark side of my mind
for I'm afraid you won't like me
and laughter won't be kind
and I try to look away
to forget that you exist
I don't want to creep you out
with my dream of being kissed
and I try to stay away
but you are my fantasy
what can I say, what can I do
you are a magnet to me
do you take your eyes for granted
do you look right past your soul
do I imagine the depth I see
as you look at me and I lose control
do you know the way I see you
as the answer to my prayers
and now that I have confessed this
do you wonder at my stares
I will come no closer
than this word
and if this does not please you
I will act as if you never heard
but if you are ever lonely
or just want to feel adored
know that you are worshipped
that is what I'm here for
and I try to look away
to forget that you exist
I don't want to creep you out
with my dream of being kissed
I will learn to stay away
you are just my perfect fantasy
I will be anything
you want me to be
and if you wish
I will act as if you never knew
you are a magnet to me
you remain my perfect fantasy

Can I have your children?
can I have your attention
I have a serious question
please take this seriously
you do something to me
I want to let it all go
let me let the whole world know
tell me that we can begin
can I have your children
can I have your children
can I have that part of you
I want to feel you growing in me
love can not be more true
can I have your children
just tell me what to do
I will do anything to be
the one to be with you
can I have your attention
please have no apprehension
I'm ready to die for you
I will see anything through
I want to let it all come
let me beat on the last drum
tell me our song can begin
can I have your children
can I have your children
may I have that part of you
I want to feel you growing in me
love can not be more true
can I have your children
just tell me what to do
I will do anything to be
the one to be with you
I will weather any storm
cover you and keep you warm
I will take the blows freely
to protect our family my promise is beyond the end
to be your lover and your best friend
and if you ever want to leave
I'll not stand in your way
I will grieve
but I will always believe
you are the greatest gift anyone can receive
can I have your children
may I have that part of you
I want to feel you growing in me
love can not be more true
can I have your children
just tell me what to do
I will do anything to be
the one to be with you

Dream Lover
did you know I was with you
every night
long before I ever knew you
were alive
you are my dream lover
every night
you are the one and only reason
I survive
every night you come to me
to sing a siren's song
every night I come to you
and gently sing along
as I explode with passion
and rocket off to sleep
I know nothing can mean as much
or touch me as deep
can you feel me with you
every night
long before you ever knew
who I was
I am your dream lover
it's alright
the fantasy of romance
time's great pause
the screaming silence
the gentle peace
eternal passion
perfect release
every day we run around
paying all the dues
looking for the meaning of life
hearing all the news
watching all the lonely people
pairing off in twos
wondering if anyone
really gets the clues
the deepest feeling
what we will die for
the insatiable
do anything for more
beyond pride
nothing can hide
the intensity
consumes infinity
can you feel it coming
every night
from the very first moment
till the end of time
I am your dream lover
it's alright
the fantasy of romance
symbiotic rhyme
the screaming silence
the gentle peace
eternal passion
perfect release
every night you come to me
to sing a siren's song
every night I come to you
and gentle sing along
as I explode with passion
and rocket off to sleep
I know nothing can mean as much
or touch me as deep
the deepest feeling
what we will die for
the insatiable
do anything for more
beyond pride
nothing can hide
the intensity
consumes infinity
dream lover
become real
dream lover
all we feel
dream lover
coming true
dream lover
me and you

Paper Fantasies
you are reading these words right now
or am I dreaming?
you can't get enough of me
you keep reading
you're falling in love with my words
you're fantasizing
it's getting too much to bear
you're realizing
you must reach for more
you look at the phone
you push off the fear
you hope I'm alone
you ask to meet me
you want to share it all
without even knowing
how far you might fall
these are paper fantasies
you are sharing here with me
in our imagination
we fit together perfectly
in our paper fantasies
you are living here with me
and feel the sensation
touching each other in places no one else can see
living our wildest dreams in paper fantasies
you know you've been seduced
now or are you dreaming?
you can't get enough of this
you keep reading
you're falling in love with the words
you're fantasizing
it's getting too much to bear
you're realizing
you must have me now
if just for one time
if just for one moment
we must share a rhyme
you come up behind me
you turn me around
you open yourself to me
and we leave the ground
these are paper fantasies
you are sharing here with me
in our imagination
we fit together perfectly
in our paper fantasies
you are living here with me
and feel the sensation
touching each other in places no one else can see
living our wildest dreams in paper fantasies
leave the real world for a while
or come and make it real
you know where you can find me
you know how it can feel
make these paper fantasies
more than just dreams inside
press yourself against me
till there's nothing left to hide
some things can not be denied
these are paper fantasies
you are sharing here with me
in our imagination
we fit together perfectly
in our paper fantasies
you are living here with me
and feel the sensation
touching each other in places no one else can see
living our wildest dreams in paper fantasies
make paper fantasies
you are sharing here with me
more than imagination
come touch in reality
make our paper fantasies
as real as they can be
and feel the sensation
touching each other in places no one else can see
living our wildest dreams of paper fantasies
living our wildest dreams, once paper fantasies
living our wildest dreams, no longer paper fantasies
these are paper fantasies
you are sharing here with me
in our imagination
we fit together perfectly
in our paper fantasies
you are living here with me
and feel the sensation
touching each other in places no one else can see
living our wildest dreams in paper fantasies

Stories
been to the top of the universe
been to the bottom of life
had an angel envelope me
had a black hole suck my soul
was a high riding free wheeler
was fast asleep on the street
and I'm still just barely learning
'bout this life, about my role
I don't think I'm here to save the world
or even save myself
I'm not built for heavy politics
or wishing wells
I don't want to be a leader
I just want to be a friend
and share this life with someone who
knows true love does not end
just a child with simple dreams
just exploring all the extremes
and still alone going my way
still haven't found someone to play
up or down in mud or gold
what I want can't be bought or sold
so money has no meaning to me
so most people just let me be
I'm not here to reach for glories
maybe to tell a few stories
bought the people at the top
who push and squeeze until the drop
or some few street surviving fools
somehow slipping between the rules
don't pretend to know from right or wrong
I just want to sing my song
I don't think I'm here to teach anything
just maybe learn myself
I'm not built for holy reasons
heavens or hells
I don't want to be a leader
I just want to be a friend
and share this life with someone who
knows true love does not end
someone who wants to hear my stories
someone who will tell me more
another child who knows true love
knows no ceiling, wall, or door
whether I'm well scrubbed and dressed up
or I look like the bottom of life's cup
what I want is someone to look in my eyes
and see what's real... and what matters
... the truth without life's lies
I don't think I'm here to save the world
or even save myself
I'm not built for people to follow
or to ring bells
I'm not better than anyone
and I'm not any worse
I just want to sing my life
and write another verse
life is full of long short stories
I just want to share some
with someone who can share true stories
whatever will come
I don't want to be a star
I just want to be a friend
and share this life with someone who
knows true love has no end
