Similar Du

Lounging poolside
Covered in sunscreen
Sipping on South Beach Triple Ginseng
Magnified 10 times through the bottle’s lens
Was the same hair du as my ex-girlfriend

On the city streets
Magazines, TV
Driving in the car
Right next to me
On the young, the old
And this just in
It’s even on store front mannequins

Whether night or day
The time or place
One thing that just is not fair
I may never see her face
Be on the same page
But I’ll be haunted by that hair

Bright blonde and straight
Curves underneath
At about chin length
If you’d like to see a prototype
Just take a quick glance anywhere outside

Are they spying on me?
Picture taking paparazzi?
Recording my every move
My deepest secrets on the loose

Try and hide but can’t escape
Dark sunglasses no match for blonde rays
Sped past the sign that said beware
When it’s said and done she’ll be everywhere

Rudy Awakening

Rudy on the fast break
Early morning earth shake
No chance to sleep in late
When Rudy is on mission awake

Punches on the stereo
Redlining the speakers
Dances with the light switch
In blue robe leisure
Shouts “Torture rise and shine you bunch of bums!”
“Happy smiles, lazy ragamuffins”

Toward the bedroom
On a rampage
Determination on his face
Bursts through the door
To unleash
His tactics to end sweet dream peace

Don’t even think about
Trying to ignore
If you know what’s coming next
Prepare the night before
He’ll rip the covers off
And if that doesn’t phase
Rudy will pour
A cup of water on your face

No siren can compete
The rooster looks on with jealousy
The alarm clock will never share the scene
With the Rudy Awakening

Sonic Remedy (Part II: Jimmy)

Doors swing open
Eye squint from the bright lights
Music through the speakers
Ears receive her
Head nods in time

Body follows
Dance floor swallows
Motion coined by daily grind
Completion found
Within the sound
No past or future
Just the now

Slip away
Within the amplified sounds
All anxiety in the background
Let the past fade away
Save the future for another day

Can’t stay still
The sound’s invisible potion
Moves from ears to soul
In a single motion
Sessions of rehabilitation
Stress factor evacuation
Remedy for any situation

Forgiveness never kicks in late
Luxuriate under rays of grace
Illuminate body, soul, and mind
All senses revitalized

Mic’s Hot At Midnight
By Tim Hawkinson and Anthony Silano

Fists in the air
As the subs kick on
The music explodes like tempered napalm
Shouting from a depth deep within
Jumping around until the floor caves in

United we rise
United we stand
The mic’s hot at midnight
And the party just began
United we rise
United we stand
Want to know just who I live for
Come and take my hand

North, South, East, West
Nation wide
Thanks to you our friends
Who keep the dream alive
Not out to set trends
Or raise the fashion bar
We can only have as much fun as you are

The road may be narrow
And may be less traveled
Let’s support each other
As our lives unravel
One may be overpowered
Two can withstand one
A Threefold Cord is not quickly broken
