23rd Janus

by JAC Enriquez

 

fate brought a dreadful site

thoughts won’t take me there

embellished by joy and grief

leaving fumes of bitter strife

 

                       with the absence of light

                       a lady wept in silence

                       eased the pain in tears

                       lines that tell the same

 

                       the angels came that night

crushed mighty grounds of Cain

praise the legion from above

noble bearers of empyreal ire

 

looking closely as you sleep

                       you were off to somewhere

                       far from reality and harm

                       to ethereal echoes of dream.

PALS OF MY CRADLE DAYS

(song of Lola Mameng and Lolo Biling)

Pals of my cradle days

I needed you always

Since I was a baby upon your knees

You sacrificed everything for me

I stole the gold from your hair

And placed a silver thread there

I don’t know any way

I can ever repay

Pals of my cradle days

(This song was passed on to me by my father from his parents and will be passed on to my children in the future…)

"Forgetful Lucy" by Adam Sandler

The Hukilau was the place Where I first saw your face We liked each other right away But you didn’t remember me the very next day Forgetful Lucy Has got a nice caboosey I used to trick you into pulling your car over so we could chat But my favorite time was when you beat the shit out of Ula with a bat Then we drove up to see Dr. Keats And found out why Doug always has to change his sheets Forgetful Lucy Cracked her head like Gary Busey But I still love her so And I’ll never let her go Even if while I’m singing this song She’s wishing I had Jocko the walrus’ schlong Forgetful Lucy Her lips are so damn juicy How about another first kiss

I WANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU

by Adam Sandler

i wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad

carry you around when your arthritis is bad

all i wanna do, is grow old with you

i’ll get your medicines whenever your tummy aches

build you a fire if the furnace breaks

oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

i’ll miss you

kiss you

give you my coat when you are cold

need you

feed you

even let ya hold the remote control

so let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink

put you to bed if you had too much to drink

i could be the man who grows old with you

i wanna grow old with you

"LOVE SONG" by 311

Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am home again
whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am young again
whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am fun again

However far away
I will always love you
however long I stay
I will always love you
whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am free again
whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am clean again

However far away
I will always love you
however long I stay
I will always love you
whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
