Filling The Gap
He sang, some fifty years ago, this song:
I would so love to still my raging thirst
and wait here, at the door to hear the Gong
to be the only one and yet the very first.
So please allow me to partake of it, I will
leave you immersed within the warmth of bubble wrap
just rest your eyes and let me touch that little hill,
it is my duty now to fill that lonely gap.

Final
When he asked her to stay,
when he pleaded and begged,
when he reasoned with logic
she just stood by the door,
briefly smiled with her lips
and, in a gesture of finality
slowly, with delicious sterility,
rotated her oval Madonna's head
left to right, silently, beautifully.
There was no need to read her lips.

Final Song
They called him Opa,
he was so....old.
He took l-dopa
and hoarded gold.
Behind each hedge
he saw a hider
it was his pledge
that a lone rider
from evil places
with devil's claws
was counting paces
avoiding flaws
so during sunrise
he flipped completely
this ain't no fun, guys
he folded neatly
and stretched supinely
he stopped his breath
then went divinely
to his own death.
You see the shock did
that morning sun
and like a mock kid
on his last run
he was the victim
of his own mind
which really tricked him
and fate was blind.
The final plea
which made him fail
was, on a tree
a nightingale.

Finito
Du bist, ich muss es sagen, ohne Reuhe,
ich auch, es lebt das Leben vor sich hin.
Ich habe Dich, mein Schatz und halte Dir die Treue,
so weit entfernt von Deiner Blume Lohengrin.
Kein bisschen Hadern und kein Zoegern, er bestimmt
welch Leben bleibt bis in die Zukunft meiner Welt.
Es ist die Hand, die ihn an Zepter's Kragen nimmt,
ich habe Dich und alles an'dre ist bestellt.
