Motor Mouth

My mouth
ran ahead
of my ears
i'm so
taken aback
not even a dam
will hold my tears.

All Over The Earth

Dappled and bay horses,
Four chariots came out from between the two mountains!
And like the wind of war being held aback,
But one day it will blow all over the earth.

People are taken aback by a confident, pretty girl who knows what she wants in life and isn't going to let anyone get in her way. And you know what it's all about? Jealousy.

I've never really been star struck. I was a little bit taken aback when I was doing a chat show recently and I was sat in the make-up chair chatting to a guy say next to me but I couldn't look round and see who it was, it was only when I got up I realised it had been Bryan Adams I'd been talking to!

Take Your Courage To the Fighting

Take your courage for the fighting
It's not some soft words
As ironic as it can be
Your opponent is waiting here
Take your courage for the fighting
it's not some irrelevant issues
just come and fight
Why are you afraid of loss
Why are you trambling
Why are you running aback
to where you started?

Lovers

The two men in the road were taken aback.
The lovers came out shading their eyes from the sun,
And never was white so white, or black so black,
As her cheeks and hair. `There are more things than one
A man might turn into a wood for, Jack,'
Said George; Jack whispered: `He has not got a gun.
It's a bit too much of a good thing, I say.
They are going the other road, look. And see her run.'
She ran. - 'What a thing it is, this picking may!'

Kissed A Frog

I kissed a frog last night,
A kiss I will never easily forget,
Was a kiss I will carry along,
So nice to despise easily,
So tasty to refute cheaply,

The frog screamed my name,
Each time I bite it,
Moved it even closer,
Throwing hands all over,

This frog was fat and sweet,
With deep red and shiny lips,
Heavy hands, scattered hair,
My mind was set for the lips,

It shouted:
I love you!
I was taken aback,
For the first time I saw a ghost.

Gracias', 'La vida Latina'! !

Why had your bed been taken out from under you? !
But i bring you peace and love to you;
'Shalom Aleichem'!

Where is the horizontal trade mark of your love?
For the casualties of the war had taken you aback!
But i now bring you peace and love.

'Gracias', 'La vida Latina'! !
For the ants are a tiny nation but they prepare their food in the summer;
And i am here to help you with my peaceful mind,
So be very strong on your dreams and move on.

the Man

Before the world of lazy fellows,
The man has proved himself aback.
And in the race of pains and gains,
He led by good by far the track.

The day he turns to the fire in him,
He'll enlighten the hearts of everyone.
The day he gets the feed he needs,
'What is that light? ' shall ask the sun.

He keeps his thoughts from sins away,
He swims his way through thick and thin.
And in the battle of risk and time,
He's a tall black shining tin.

He has the right, he has the might,
Towards the innocent, he will not fight.

There Is No Retreating Or Ceasing Done

Painful realities
Are rising and creates unrest.
Truths today are being expressed.
And this is bringing those who know this...
Extreme unhappiness.
Acknowledgements leave some cringing.
Hiding misdeeds can no longer be kept swept.
Or buried under falsities...
Now clearing from the eyes of those who slept.
Those who 'see' the bigger picture.
And the difference between deceit and honesty.
One is clearly based on fact.
And the emergence of facts,
Have shocked those taken aback.
There is no retreating or ceasing done.
Enforcing a condoned ignorance,
Comes 'home' to stun!
