Weather Girl Four

Two of my worlds collided today/

Turned out pretty well/

I'm happy to say/

Strict Rastafari meets halfway/

When I say, hey/

it's OK to be gay!

That's how we roll here by the Bay/

Ditto on drinking/ oh-blah-dee/

Oh blah day/

Even Jah-wari a big bobo dread/

Had to lose screw face/

And show love instead

Sake explains my new set of buds/

Young Chinese-Americans/

cute but not studs/

We broke down barriers of insularity/

I thought they were dope/

they thought same of me/

And although toasted/

They remained classy/

A great 48 hour party

And now I'm at home/

The rain falling hard/

It's finally time to let down my guard/

In remaining Imo/

I put up a good fight/

And now, gentle reader/ goodnight/

goodnight

Supermoon: The Deana Trilogy

Love without the Sting

As a life-long romantic/

and passionate lover/

I felt my heart-quotient/

was high as any other/

I bought into the 'bittersweet'

belief/

but going beyond that one/

brings me relief/

I know you can love deep/ and without grief/

And by my example/

I will teach

Love without the Sting/

Love without the Sting/

Love without the Sting/

Love without the Sting

You can choose in an instant/

The scene you're creating/

By looking for the thought which feels best/

love or hating?/

When the loving thought is always/

the one which feels best/

You've found the secret to happiness

You've got to focus on the good stuff/

Let all else delete/

Think just of happy endings/

And no more''bittersweet'

Licence To Love

Intro(spoken word)Mr. Bond?

James Bond?

Yes, it's me/ imo

Can you help me, Mr. Bond?

OK, James

I need an appointment with "M"?

I need a licence/

Not to kill/ no 007/

I need a license to love!!!

(chorus) License to love/

I need a/

License to love X 2

My heart's in the right place/

I set a fast pace/

I may be bull/ in a china shoppe/

But when I love/

I don't stop

License to love

License to love

I always barge in heart first/

It's always bulging/

But it won't burst/

Gregory's gone/

I'm the night nurse/

But don't be frightened.

It could be worse/

I'll fire warning shots/

You'll disperse/

(chorus)Licence to Love

Licence to Love

Licence to love/

Licence to love

I've got a record/

As long as your arm/

A heavy rep to go along/

If you should cause/

my heart to beat/

I won't try to be discreet/

Give up/ my dear/

Accept defeat

(chorus)I've got a

Love Explosion (Sufi Style)

What feels as good as love?/

Nothing in the world/

Great results like wind whipped flags/ unfurl/

When love's high on your list/

You don't mind the risk/ risk/

Coming from a place of bliss/

Life goes nice/

as you would wish/

Real life without artifice/

An inner glow/

a constant kiss

This comes from feeling loved/

And feeling loved/ best comes from loving/

Love Explosions/

as I would say!

Always spiral outwardly/

Expanding waves of joy/

joy and positivity/

'Cause that's all there is/

do you see?

What's called acting impulsively/

Creates a Love Reality/

Positive nuclear activity/

Exploding waves of ecstasy

Exploding waves of ecstasy

Whirlwinds of interplay/

As heart-whorls twirl us lovingly/

A stunning play of ecstasy/

A dazzling dance, as of Sufi

(chorus) Love Explosion X 4

St. Patrick's Play

You know me as Imo/

But my name's Maureen/

Which makes me part Irish/

A seasonal colleen/

To celebrate/

I chose to make/

A dish fit for a queen/

And as they are verdant/

I say: Baking of the Green

Baking of the Green

Baking of the Green

Only slightly legal/

The Baking of the Green

Tsunami or not 2 B?

Tsunami Poem

A natural curiosity/

About a tsunami/

A giant swell/

Could very well/

Be the end of me

To be swept out to sea/

While strolling in Mill Valley/

That would be/

Extremely trippy.

At 23 Janes Street/

In the foothills of Mt. Tam/

I'm likely to stay high and dry/

So that is where I am

Safety first/

It could be worse/

Let the Raiders know/

A change of route/

Would be astute/

A safer way to go

By noon this should be history/

The waves' effect no mystery/

I'll be trodding on the path/

Observing the aftermath

Call me a whus, a whimp, or scaredy cat/

But below sea level is not where it's at/

I'm sure you and yours will be safe and sound/

But for the moment I'm taking high ground

In a moment of truth/

It must be said/

What a great excuse/

To stay in bed :) i

Love is Everything

In the most mundane way/

When it comes to brass tacks/

Survival/

Growing life from scratch/

Love is Everything.

Love is Everything

It's the double helix/

Spiraling DNA/

Undulating waves of light/

Carving out our way/

The active principle/

Which moves us from/

First breath/

Is also our first cause/

For happiness

Love is Everything

Love is Everything

Once you know/

"having feelings"

You join the rest of us/

That extra loving feeling/

Of which we make such fuss/

Having feelings for another/

A natural state of grace/

No less a miracle/

Because it's commonplace/

From hovel to estate/

A natural state of grace/

Always a sacred space/

Although it's commonplace

Love is Everything

Love is Everything

Love is Everything

Love is Everything

Weather Girl

A change in the weather/

For worse or for better/

Makes my heart undulate/

Like fish trolling for bait/

When the rains began to start/

They played / tattoo on my heart/

Making my love more intense/

Well, rain is wet/ it makes some sense

Then the days turned balmy/

and so did I/ constantly sniffing at the sky

Inhaling the air like a fine pinot noir/

Wondering wistfully where you are?

The sweetness of an early spring/

Mirrors the joy which love can bring

A shift in pressure barometric/

Is one more thing making/

my heart tick

And when the fog begins to slither/

It makes me want you to come hither/

A carousel of micro-climes/

Makes me more lovey all the time

Weather Girl Part Two

Saturday's mildness/

Gave way to a wildness/

Which always gets me going/

I feel especially cuddily/

When the winds are blowing/

The leaves are whispering secrets/

Our hearts already guess/

Ushering in hours/

Of Sunday's happiness/

Supporting the moist atmosphere/

a cloud of luminescence clear/

Titanium's the focus here/

At least for a few minutes, dear

Weather Girl Part Three

The pond ripples/ tickled by a breeze:

Hinting of nature/not quite at ease

The clouds threaten rain/

but are merely hanging/

Awaiting their close up/

When thunder starts banging/

The ducks have chosen to swim in a line/

Avoiding a tumult which will come in time/

The paths' loamy moistness/

Makes a slow transit/

Perhaps, baby grumpling,

that's just how Jah plans it/

Blessing each step which acrues pre-precip/

With weather/ it's making the most of it/

Saturday was Mediterranean

I'll think about that

when it starts to storm again.

I'm asking a question

which starts to perplex me/

Why changes in weather

make me feel sexy?/

I channel my urges through poetry/

Illustrating transmuted energy/

When tempest peaks/

I hit the sheets/

Producing vibes extra-ordinary/
