In the beginning there was only God. He had just finished mowing the lawn and as he lay in his hammock sipping Yerba Mate He wanted some tunes. God of course loved Elvis but he needed something different. A little wilder and more primitive like, Alien Sex Fiend or The Cramps,” I know” and he reached down and touched a puddle of mud below. There was some smoke, a little fuzzy electric sound, and then poof “ManApes”. He listened and knew it was good and so he bought a Tee Shirt from www.cafepress.com/themanapes
Oh and a bumper sticker for his golf cart.
She nudges down beside him
Warmth in the warm summer waves
She’s a child again in her escape
A far away waterfall drains silently
So nice to find on these rainy days
And she paddles against the rhythm
Very slightly to lengthen her stay
Breathing soundless deep and softly
Not wanting to disturb the water
Hearing the falls she moves to the side
Whatever she needs to stay the high side
Reaching out holding the sunshine
Even licking a little to sooth her thirst
The intensifying water brightens
As she lets herself flow down
Like pulling all the threads tight
Before running through her mouth
And as she falls so fast and deeply
Weightless splashing down the mountainside
That fond warmth engulfs her completely
And so she hikes back up again

Sweet and Sour
Oh you’re such a perfect love
A wonderful mystery
So dark and so new
Who are you running to?
You’re broken
It’s who you are
Now you can’t trust anyone
My little diamond
I feel the rubble
Crumbling as I walk
I Feel the power
Every time we talk
Little rich girl
All grown up
She’s going to tear you apart
She’s my little shark
She tells me he’s bluffing
His pride his reveal
He thinks she’s imitating
But I know she’s real
My Talents are obsolete
With a gun in my hand
And daddies demon complete
The world deals in fear
And for the most part it wins
Power is what money appears
They all just want money
I only worshipped power
What do you think honey

Three Lessons from ManApes
1 "The day rises and sets with faith and as you go about your life remember that the most powerful are those who put their faith in greater things than themselves. Greatness is not a virtue but a result."
2 "Beware of those that worship themselves for they stand on the backs of others, and like helping someone that's drowning, they will pull you to the bottom."
3 "Use discretion when responding to the cynical because they will not learn. They only seek to justify themselves."

In a scarlet velvet room I meet you

The dust from outside world is gone

The beads of water on the window fall

I can’t feel the bed I’m laying on

It’s a dream that you found yourself

A lie you tell yourself in the mirror

A joke like all the small talking heads

A world of posturing pride and posers

You’re trying so hard to be relevant

On the cold wide lake of deceit

You arrive and to find your crutches

Reading the lines they all repeat

You’re alone and I’m here for closure

If only you were broken and aware

But you’re pointing your finger at everyone

It’s all, their fault that they don’t care

I lay your silk robe across the chair

And light a small fire in the cold room

You sip your wine to keep yourself safe

But it’s a tomb living in a vacuum

The Scarlet Velvet Room still glowing

In the deepening evening of thought

Your alluring river of desire flowing

But your mind you’ve left out to rot

Need Some SweatShirts for Winter?
By some for your Lover

Absinthe
I lay my fingers along your cheek
So close I can feel you breathe
In your mind a Princess a queen
In mine perfection a dream

The tall valleys and long shores below
Drunken forests in snow
So cold and lovely eyes
I see my punishment inside

I let the gun fall from my hand
I turn and resign myself
The wind is cold and lifeless
As I looked out across the great ocean

Your souls deep takes me inside out
I feel it I the low laying clouds
I can’t escape from this growing old
Its grasp unpleasantly cold

I see the future so vast and deep
I see them alone and I pity them
Through you I could see the light
Now she’s free and I’ll start again

I dreamed and dreamed but I was empty
So deep and cold rolls out into another world

He said “I just stole a little bit just a tiny little bit. No more than my needs." She looked up at me and asked” Didn’t you let him go? ” And I said “You can run run run as far as you can across the wide world baby, But the devils always going to catch you. But I didn't kill him.” She said "Oh good, he just seemed so lowly and clever." and I said, "You are so right dear. I hired him to entertain the crowd during our intermission"
