My Joyful Day

I will silence the winds 
And have the trees stop their dance 
Until called upon to do so 

I will call out the clouds 
And say to them, this day 
Just this day, spare me your rain 


And the grass will know to keep to a height 
We greed on, upon a gentleman's handshake  
Not too high a' not too short, just perfect in trim 


The sea will calm their rattle 
The dolphins will synchronise their jumps 
The salmons will not yet go red 


I will have the sun come out  
And the birds will line in choir, well tuned 
Ready and willing to sing at a moments notice 


And the sky will give me 
Its bluesiest of colour so picture perfect 
For ceremonial  me, to sit in adore   


To name this day 
My joyful day, oh what a day 
To have this day be  

Announce Tables

Announce tables 
A stage set, a page turned  
A letter head with an unknown name 


A picture drawn, with an unknown face 
A character stands undefined
A faint disturbance from a standing mic


The winds blow, the curtains dance
 A Mexican wave gathers form   
Slowly with grace, like a ball room dance 


A whisper of sound, awakening light 
Ignites blaze, glow of fire  
Slowly gathers ground like the waves 


A figure enters a crowded room 
He takes a step, and nears the stand 
He finds the center and comes to light 


A stage is set, a page is turned 
A character is defined 
In a sea of crowd gather 


Who are you to be 
In a crowded room, taking steps 
While shoes wait to be owned, claimed,  filled 



Announce tables 
A stage set, a page turned  
A letter head with an unknown name 

Faded Tapestry

Drum rolls, pictures fade on project-al, slowly   
Faded memory of prime, lovers that came a' went  
There was a time, when I used to swing and lights sparkled 


Playing gallantry with the dance floor 
I made the earth vibrate down to its very core 
With such foxtrot moves, I conjured up tango and danced 


There was a time, in not too distance past
When my stands brought novation, adored, stage light bright   
And I charmed the most pessimist to believe in miracles  


Occasionally I walk past walls, such walls 
That once captured shadows of dance, in my prime 
In my prime, in my prime, oh in my prime 


A song in my heard, tap tap, foot movements 
Tempts a come back, with dim lights flickering 
And I heard an old soul calling 


My brittle bones, fights to escape 
This captive surrender, rose cottage signal signs  of an end 
I fight so I can be  a matador again, 


To bring shadows back to this life again 
To bring shadows back to this life again 
Drum rolls pictures fade on  projected walls

Dancing to the Beat

Vibrant sounds echoes from distance

Hibernated energy awaken in the souls of man

Dance brings movements, celebrated hour

Charlie Chaplin

Oh Charlie , back when I was so young 
And the box set, I sat in front  
Only showed in black and white, so small  


No words spoken to show intent, signs 
Act, actions, oh but you made me laugh so loud 
And I brought the house down, with giggles   


Like the house of cards, tumbling, rolling with belly laughs 
Running in fast forward, on walk steps, dance steps
On two legged fork doing the one, two step 


You knew how to wow the girls, so much, you show off
Moving in cartoonish ways with sway 
Oh Charlie, oh Charlie, oh Charlie Chaplin  


What good old classics, truly time tested  
You gave to me in gift of joy and laughters 
Like clock works you never failed to amuse, like clock works


You made me laugh a thousand laughs, belly laughs  
Tears in my eyes, my jaw hurts, I ask for more 
Just on silent movies, oh  what such classics  


Oh what such happiness 
You brought to my door step 
Oh Charlie, oh Charlie, oh Charlie Chaplin

The Dancing Joromi

Today I saw an epiphany, Joromi in the shop window

Hanging on a doll, sat on a Victorian rest

Cinderella's shoes and a necklace to match

Joromi looked alive, incandescent bursting with excitement

She moved on pause, pulse, in a beautiful, butterfly print 

She had a heavenly spirit, that drew on my hunger

Today I saw Joromi in the shop window

Next to her, stood such adoring dancing shoes 

So tonight, when the bells go din dong, in moon light show

I will be at the ball room, with Joromi

Ready to dance  my tango and foxtrot

Dance my High-life, to win the heart of my love

Today I saw Joromi in the shop window

Tonight I will become one with Joromi

And dance the night before dawn

Today I will win my lovers heart


And take Joromi home with me 
Today I saw Joromi in the shop window 
Tonight Joromi would share my bed
