I would engage the world as my ally
I would engage the world
Against jealous fear and bitter ambition
That only aspires to the done and the dead

I went down to the sea
Don’t care if you don’t believe me
It spoke to me about my life
It spoke with the voice of reason
It told me to risk it all with the chance of nothing returned

Isn’t that the task of love?
Isn’t that the challenge of love today?

Please, will an angel come over to hold up my shoulders
And help me back on my feet?
Or put your money in the payphone
Tell them you’re running
Blowing up in a big way
Putting on make-up
Changing your name
Now you’re standing in the shadows
Or for whomever is paying
Sonny, you’re a big shot now
Sonny, when you come down, how you gonna count?

Happy Birthday Raquel Zimmermann


Raquel Zimmermann is such an amazing artist and an even more stellar human being. It’s hard to think of a more talented model today, especially with an impact spanning more than two decades now. From her personality, creativity, talent, and benign spirit, it’s no wonder Raquel is the force that she is. Fashion is so lucky to have her and she truly makes the world a brighter place. Happy Birthday Raquel Zimmermann. Wishing love and happiness, always.


Always upon you, light never ceases
Lost from yourself, light never ceases
Thousands of eyes, gaze never ceases
Light is upon you ’til life in you ceases

Happy Birthday Birgit Kos: Vol 1. Kos Cool! 🇳🇱

Everything and always to me
Everything and always was she
Beautiful Alone
Beautiful Alone

I’m the fool the lights were on
Knock on the door I’m raising hell
I’m the fool I saw you cry
Knock on the door I’ll ring your bell

I remember stars above her
Scattered across this sky just for her
And how very much I loved her
Beautiful Alone

Check the passer-by with the headlights on
On the interstate, I’m heading east
On the way to a place where the sun shines
Where the concrete meets jungle green

I’m on the promenade with a passer-by
Puking up the parade and the scenery
But I’ve lost my way I’m in camouflage
keeping up the charade of an alibi

She took the funk out of my soul
My rhythm is bluesin’
I see the moods, that you been swinging over me
Climbing mountains we can climb together
I shed by standing in your way
Or is it the money that I can’t pay

I remember day first came in that room filled with sun rays
With gin-juice as intake, therefor the smiley faces
From these sliding, gliding, grinding ladies
That vaguely had me gaping like a spaceman looks at human faces
Then you got right, in the corner of my eyes
Getting rendered on my retina, printed, saved inside my memory card
With a rhythm for my heart, more than visibly off the charts
So heartfelt, that I dealt, all cards I held, smart
Though, really, guy like I, try to stay far from sacrificing
But that day I’d give my life to get a slice of those voluptuous thighs
Easily top five I’d ever eyed
With an effortless granted victory, only, mostly ’cause I
Got mesmerized, by your atlantic eyes
Who left me stranded like poetry when I dove inside
To read your constellations, looking for conversation
Mainly, maybe some fornication with your mind

What to say?
I guess that something changed
I guess when I met you
You’re my baby, baby

This love we share
Has got me insecure
Has got me fearing more
Has me really fearing more
