BLACK STAR
The rumble of my belly
Blended in perfectly
With the sound of
A motorcycle going by…
There is a split in the curtains..
I can see the night outside…..
I can hear the rain
But I Can’t see what colour it is
Scramble for Another Word
Scramble to another world
I unearthed a relic today
It Reminded me of you
Pretty And Pleasing On One Side
Dull And Blank On The Other
It is a very tough piece
To have survived This World so long
More.....

Thick Crimson
There’s A Goddess In A Crimson Robe
She is Standing There – Stark Still
Her Presence Gives Me Pleasure
And her endless Deep Green Field
Carpeted In Constant Flowers
She Floats There - All Alone
Thick, Sensual…. Not A Dream
Thick Crimson Scene
There Is An Earthly blue Light – ‘Surrounds Her
Follows Her Essence Everywhere
And This It Helps Parade Her
The Sky is blue –well Indigo
147different shades
For Her Movement to Diffuse
Thick, Sensual…. Hard to Conceive
Thick Crimson –
Do I Just Stand Here - Or Dare move closer ?
Chills were Never Grander – Running Up My Spine
Please Be There for Me
“And We all Float on …OK ?”
Why Cant’ I touch Her ?
Where Did She go ?
That Alluring Glow
That Essence Rare – She’s There Somewhere
I Will Look Until I Find Her Again
I See Just Black And white - No Colours
Can Almost Touch The Shades of Grey
Emanating From The Emptiness
My Mind Is Drawn Back -To That Thick Crimson
Her OOooozing Presence
And A Face That I Can’t See
Or Touch…..Or Be
Thick Sensual – not a dream !
Thick Crimson !

The Powder
Sometimes It’s Him , Sometimes Its Her
Sometimes It’s His Overcrowded head
Sometimes It’s The loud loud noise inside
Some times its this inescapable need…
Sometimes It’s His Awkward nature
Sometimes It’s Just Pure Fear
Sometimes I he simply feels compelled
Sometimes It’s The Dark Silence Inside
He disappears
Off On A Powder
Sneak Out A Back Exit
Or use the bathroom ploy
He Just Need some Quiet
He Just Need That Space ….To Think To Dream
If its Rude - He Don’t Care….
If its vain - He Don’t Care…
If its selfish - He Don’t Care….
Swears its absolutely inescapable…a craving Strong As Love, Which We All know is : Required
Sometimes It’s Other’s Constant babble
Sometimes It’s The its His inner battles
Sometimes It’s a Show Of Strength
Sometimes - He seems so fragile
Sometimes It’s a Cry For connection when there is none
Sometimes He Just gets Overwhelmed
Sometimes He’s Ruled by total inhibition
Sometimes – Sometimes it’s the only way
So….. He Takes A Powder
Disappears into the air
Like an Old Houdini Trick
He Just Need The Quiet
He Just Need The Space to lick….. the wounds
If its Rude - He Don’t Care….
If its vain - He Don’t Care…
If its selfish - He Don’t Care….
Claims It can be necessary, fucking impetrative, unavoidable, Required
Required

This Song
After days and days of thinking
of other ideas and themes
I Keep Coming Back to the fact
That this Song
Really needs to be about love:
Should this Be Howling or Breen ?
Or something way more obscene
Love Takes over So Many Things
so many Songs
This Song Really Needs To Be About Love
What Is Love ?” – No one Even Knows
How many Poets and Blues men
And Before and beyond
and all of us afters
Have wailed that same old painful Line
Same Question – All throughout time
But No one Ever Really came Up
With Any Really Good Answers – Did They ?
Some Great Songs, books and poems
Everyone has known their own
But We Are All suck Here
To Wonder and Spin !
Confusing Journeys Willingly Taken
Unknown Pleasures – For those Who are Patient
Stop Wanting More…..
or Trying to Get What’s Gone Back
Believe your Heart And In Truth
Believe
in Ultimate Dreaming
Empty Pockets And Trees that Heal
And long, corny Walks in the Rain ?
Or Just Throw up your hands and steal that RHCP line
“Yin Yong Yin Yang Yong Yin - den dawn din dang???”
That vexing hilly ride - this Love Thing
This Song Really Needs To Be About Love !
This Song Really Needs To Be About Love !
Is There Soul Love ?
Eternal Love ?
Is There Pure Love ?
Unconditional Love ?
Are We are Really talking
“That Connection” ?
Another Stare At The Sun
Another Dare to be Won
Don’t Be A Wolf
Be an Eagle
This Really Needs To Be A Song About Love !
This Really Needs To Be A Song About Love !
This Really Needs To Be A Song About Love !
Love is Work
And Lovers Work
Lovers Work
And Love is Work

Little Kids
Little Kids are So Durable - Fall Down Every Day
Do the Curad Rag For A minute Or Two
But they Don’t Fall Apart - Like their cheap toys do
Inside They’re Fragile – Open And Fearless
Help Them Find Thier Footing – Treat them like They matter
Love Is The Answer - Love Is Always The Answer
Give ‘Em A Break - So They Don’t
Give Them Space –
To Be
To Breath
Little Kids Learn By Example – Mirror What They See
Show Them The Good Things – Show them Right Things
Teach Them How To Be..
If You Want Respect Gotta Give It – It Doesn’t Grow On Trees
Treat Them Like People - And expect upheaval
But Just Shut The Fuck Up And Listen Anyway !
Little Kids Are Wild and Adventurous – Don’t Take That Away
It Comes From Inside – And It Wont Run And Hide
Unless you Scare It Away – Unless you Scare It Away
Give ‘Em A Break - So They Don’t
Give Them Some Room –
to Breath
Then They’ll See
Then you’ll See
Then We’ll All See

Found My Fight

FOUND MY FIGHT
I Found My Fight
Won’t Give It Back
When A Wolf Retreats
When An Eagle Nests
They Find Their Fight
Begin Again
I am Not Afraid
Not of The of the Dark
Not Even of Death
At Least I Don’t Think So
I Learned that from Jim
I am Not Afraid more wasted Time
Not Even Afraid to Take A chance
I Might Even Dance
I Learned that From This Dream I Had
I am Not Afraid – Not of People
Not Afraid Of Them
Not Afraid of You
Not Even of My Self
I Learned that From The Spirit Deep Inside
I Found My Fight
Wont Give IT BACK
THIS RENEWED Strength
Helps Overcome The Fear
At Least most Days
I Had to Let Go Of The Fight
To Get it Back
I Let Some things Steal it
But I Took it Back
I am Not Afraid Of Fear Itself
Not Even of “Somedays “
Not Even of the Devil
I Learned that from Mr Elliot
I am Not Afraid Time
Not Afraid of Its Movements
Or It’s Ceaseless Spinning
We All Eventually learn that From Someone
-or something
I Miss less Beautiful things now
And Be Here When I can – In Full Color
Life’s Jokes - Are Childs Play
Molehills Aren’t Mountains
I Might Even Be Free
I Found My Fight
Licked My Wounds
A Hibernation of sorts
A Quiet Bravado
Each Time I loose My Fight
When I Get it Back
It Comes Back Stronger
And I Know More Of What’s Right
Don’t Want To Shrink
From Those Little Blasts of Fear
That Blow in My Ear
I was A Slave – Now I’m Free
I Learned that from William (Blake )
I’m Not Afraid To Be Who I am
Just Take Life Head On
Revel In The Simple Stuff
I Learned That From Lather
I found My Fight
Wont Give It Back
I’m Not Afraid Of Life
I’m Not Afraid Of Fear
I’m Not Afraid Of Them
I’m Not Afraid Of You
I’m Not Afraid Of Me
I’m Not Afraid Of Death
I’m Not Afraid Of Time
I’m Not Afraid Of Time
I’m Not Afraid Of Time………………..

Rollo Ellis Melbourne, Australia
I met my Spirit Guide, Chollis Ellis in 1979 under a chair at University. I heard his voice from time to time over the years –messages and reminders. I saw Chollis again in 1999 in my small bedroom studio. He saif “You are ready now-you are Rollo Ellis.” He never specified “what” I was ready for – but I knew “It” was Spiritual and Creative. The right half of my brain IS literally Rollo Ellis. ... more
