Little Boy’s Blues
           
  I  see  you  crying, from afar...
                      I tell myself I know  you,
                               but I wonder who you are...
                      You don't  know it, but we  share
                                so  many  things.............
                                 and I know  what  succumbing
                                                     to  yourself,  can  bring.........
                                 I  know  it's  hard  to  do  what's  best,
                                                     cause  what isn't, explodes
                                                     inside  your  chest............
                                 But I know  that  the  Star  you're  reaching  for
                                                     is  bursting  out,  from  behind that  door.........
                                  My  little  friend,
                                                                  so  fragile,
                                                                   I  long  to  see  you  smile.....

                                   I  want  to  see  you  grow  up
                                                                   but I like  you  as a child.




                   Winter, Oblivion Style


                       You were my winter season, and your snow drifts made me blind…
                       I was looking for a reason, and hoping it would rhyme.
                       It was raining when we parted; it was snowing when we met,
                       the thought of you is still a storm I haven't weathered, yet.

                      A lesson,
                      well-taught, and I was attentive:
                      but you always thought that I had-------no incentive.........
                      Well, time will take care of the pain I feel,
                      the cuts and the bruises, Time, too, will heal.........
                      But what about this thing inside this Love I can't show:
                      this Love I can't hide...........

                     Will It go away?  Will It ever leave?
                     Will It make me deny? Will It make me believe?
                     I keep thinking that maybe I'll lose it, somewhere.........
                     and no one will find it, and no one will care.......
                     But I won't try to lose it or cover it with dirt..
                     I won't forget it happened;
                     I'll just forget it hurt........

                     To Buffer, 1980
