Category: Writing and Poetry

dance again
a late night soiree
felt within
my heart beat moves me
stay alert
i thrive on this beat
you and me
you and me

nicked at night
perplexed by this myth
of whether or not
i do or don't exist
i believe i do
i believe. i do.

a chunk 'a change
to make, to save
scattered through
the wind like sand
blown away, like sand
through hands
rough hands

i'm a shadow formed
by the sun
blurred edges
yet centered within
without and within
focused.
focus,
said that darn
chesshire cat
or that eagle-eyed
slugger at the plate
about to bat

Category: Writing and Poetry

crystal clear image from a camera's lens
some people enemies, some people friends
everyday -- everyday

gun blasts, fire bursts, metal flies through the air
why visit any place when you've already been there?
and why thirst for a thing that'll never be there?
a mirror reflects -- not much
i see a streetscape through a window at night
that's right.

what do i really want? not much...
to live in & die in L.A.?
to risk it all on a hunch? or a kick? or a punch?
to go down swinging, biting peoples' ears off?
maybe.

these ashes i sift through -- still warm
these burdens i carry alone... alone.
these ghosts to slaughter -- today & tomorrow
with these hands -- these strong hands -- i'm weak

defeated, deflated -- either i'm okay with
sometimes i'm awake, sometimes i'm asleep
birds churping absurdly -- at times other worldly
like the times i question the company i keep...
perhaps.

regardless of our well-crafted plans
it's spring time again. and again. and again.
even the things you know are coming
can sneak up on you in the end...
the end.

i have a glass jar to hold
all the souls that i steal
'gainst the will of my foes
it has a brass lid to keep
out the kids that for years
have bothered me so...

it's hard living these days
though i've known no other time
forgive me for speaking
without enough experience
school - i've had plenty
but i could always learn more
i'd love to know the secret stuff
discussed behind closed doors
america is prosperous
because we say it is so
though so many of us are in prison
and freezing out in the cold
rarely fighting for those
on the edge of our world
the fringe if you will - yes
that includes children, boys and girls
no child left behind - hell
they're easy to find, on the
street with their underwear
outside of their clothes
you think they don't care
you say they don't know

curiousity killed the kids - not really
but it certainly killed their spirits
chasing their (own) tales around all day
the truth - they wouldn't hear it

though, it's breathing deeply nearby
the beast who eats imaginations
and robs dreamers of their dreams
who wishes horrible wishes and
seeks to make enemies of all our friends

this creature kept at bay easily
by a mind that's strong
by a spiritual being who knows
how much believing's seeing
and by the indomitable power of childhood

so our tyrant sleeps until that day
when our lack of courage
let's him out to wreak havoc
on our best grown up intentions
when we're totally fed up
with abiding by all of these
general social conventions...

children scream
SUNSHINE DAYDREAM!!!
contrary mary sits
in her garden crying
all things refuse to grow
when the pressure's on
then it's time to go...

seeds are souless
husks that wait
to crumble in the wind,
ne'er to reproduce
ne'er to begin again
it's too bad though
the potential was within

a serious situation for
you to simply smile thru
starvation gets local when
there's no food at the drive thru
and no food at the kroger too...

cannabilism contradicts
conventional wisdom
either way the predator plays
the privileged role of the victim
if you can help sustain my life
even for a moment - it's worth it

well, then, there it is...
my teeth gnash flesh
i feel the flow of blood
and man, it tastes fresh
i strengthen my whole being
once again i'm worth seeing
and as we all know so well
seeing is believing...

do all boats stay afloat?
some sink in the stream
some disappear
ne'er again to be seen

do all planes fly?
most - and most fly straight
some do mid-air summersaults
some take off, land late

do all trains hold the track?
fuel burning day and night
pollution we can't undue
as cliches - smoke comes out trite

do cars keep us safe?
speeding down the gravel road
seat belts our optional saviors
choose to have us as they hold

i like your style -- your crooked smile
can you play awhile today?
forget your work and that other jerk
as your soul -- it wastes away

renew, rejoice, raise up your voice
lest darkness steals the show
with silence forced, a lack of choice
abundantly is clear (plentifully it grows)

to solve the plight of might makes right
the west wears weary, begins it's decay
no time spent sulkiing solves this problem
the coward takes flight -- avoids the fray

all is quiet while the western world fronts
an action packed lack of substance
performing lackluster stunts
with a proud soft shoe dance
our view so skewed, can't hear the news
a veil of ignorance forms
the way to engage an enraged world stage
most folks haven't got a clue

what i've done is not right
but without a conscience i'm stuck
can anyone save me
right here, tonight?

i'm not a lost cause
don't need your applause
but a little support would be nice
if things were flipped,
i wouldn't think twice...

"i can't" never did
he's still living with his mom
using decade old slang like
"oh yeah, that's the bomb"
think of all the cliches
about birds and leaving nests
pick the best for you
properly discard the rest

one man's trash is another man's lunch
sometimes the best advice
is to follow up a hunch
sometimes nothing is the best thing we can do
sometimes the words rhyme
sometimes they're too few
be brave -- somewhere deep inside
your heart knows what to do
