“Shine Out”
by Iain Jonze
Dedicated to AMZ
Flow baby
Glow baby
You know how
To make yourself
Feel real nice
No need to hesitate
No need to apologize
If there ever
Was a price
Then it's been paid
Paid in spades
Not just once or twice
Shine Out
Flow baby
Glow baby
Forever your right
To dispel wispy bars
Of darkest night
Like the moon
Shrouded in shadow
Be not hid from sight
Shine Out
Like the moon
Shedding her shadow
Willing to feel
Willing to be
A sliver she
Hanging free
Ever so elegantly
To emanate
Soft
Pale
Silvery
Incandescent
Bathing
Eternal light
Flow baby
Grow baby
Shine out
Don't need no
License to survive
Don't need no agree
Don't need to arrive
Am already be
We all have the right
To shine out
Stripped of shroud
Free and proud
Being there
To feel and see
Flowing baby
Growing baby
Glowing baby
You and me
Shine Out
“Sad”
by Iain Jonze
Dedicated to AMZ
As I was sad
I thought as sad
I felt as sad
I did as sad
I gave as sad
I had as sad
When I was happy
Sad was a sad thing.
“A Friend Of Mine”
by Iain Jonze
Dedicated to AMZ
Death is a friend of mine
A secret deep inside of me
A universal mystery
Wilder than a hurricane
Gentler than the softest rain
To hide from death is not a sin
To hide from death is an impossible thing
For without it, where would I be
Crawling down the road to misery
Stepping into eternity
Overburdened with memory
Death reaches out its hand
Knowing exactly what to do
Regardless if I'm rich or poor
Old or young
A name of fame
A dying flame
A friend of mine
A witness to my honesty
A witness to my darkest crime
An inspiration to my mind
Death reminds me of who I am
How to let go
To become anew
A friend of mine
The perfect date
An affair without pretense
It's never too late
“Midnight Moon”
by Iain Jonze
Dedicated to AMZ
Like a midnight moon
In a dark sky
Swept of stars
Shrouded in her mystery
You were hid from my sight
Like a midnight moon
Reaching out to delight
You touched me
With your majestic light
Like a midnight moon
Slowly disrobing from her shadow
Something of you
Was there to see
Like a midnight moon
In a dark sky
Swept of stars
As a sliver
You hung free
Playing
Somewhat teasing
Definitely pleasing
Like a midnight moon
Portraying her power
You positively know
You will continue to grow
Like a midnight moon
In a dark sky
Swept of stars
In her full glory
You truly glow
Baby you glow
