in search of mermaids

I am off to Hawaii for the next two weeks.

I'll still continue to post regularly!!
Talk to you from the tropical jungle in no time.

she would never say where she came from

She comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still, I'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

"There's no time to lose," I heard her say,
"Catch your dreams before they slip away,
Dying all the time,
Lose your dreams,
And you will lose your mind."

Eye to eye
Thigh to thigh
I let go

I was a willow last night in my dream

And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine
My Love, the pleasure's mine

Let me go crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, Ohhh

Wild man's world is cryin' in pain
What you gonna' do when everybody's insane?
So afraid of one who's so afraid of you
What you gonna do...ohhh...

Ooooo...Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

But they're so spaced-out

So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful

love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Today, I spent a small fortune on fake-flowers and created a dozen flower headbands for my friends and I.
We'll be showcasing them tonight.
It was a successful Saturday.

Remember the day when you were Adam and I was Eve?
We adorned ourselves in giant jungle-sized leaves.

I think that's when I knew we were going to be great friends.

And they'd crawl on each other's bodies, like reckless waves that crash wildly, over and under one another in the deep, finally finding the seashore.
Sometimes, nearly drowning, but recovering each other, and catching their breath.

Then, they'd kiss like shipwrecked survivors kiss the sand.

Oh, but I was a risk.
And he was terribly afraid of risks.

There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.

She looked me over
And I guess she thought I was all right
All right in a sort of a limited way
For an off-night
She said, "don't I know you, from the cinematographer's party?"
I said, "who am I to blow against the wind?"

I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

wild hearts and doe-eyes

There's so much that I want to write. It's almost over-whelming.
But, I need some time to figure out how to word it.
