06-30-12 Down At The Sea Shore

Sitting out on the boardwalk
Enjoying a late afternoon cocktail
The smell of saltwater on the ocean breeze
Sounds of laughter in the distance
Looking out at gorgeous sandy beaches
Blue skies stretch out across the horizon
Tropical flowers growing all around
Feasting on a delicious lobster for lunch
Drenched in hot butter and lemon juice
Cool air massaging soft sunburnt cheeks
Perfect summertime romance in paradise






   

06-29-12 Flying Saucer Disco Party

Millions of people stood
paralyzed out in the streets
looking up into the skies
screaming and begging for mercy
as the mother ship came down
in it's descent from the heavens above
and when it seemed that all hope was lost
strange colorful laser beams began to flash
then the air was filled with sweet funky music
before all the people began to dance and sing
suddenly the streets were filled with celebration
and the world was united in peace and harmony





   

06-28-12 Seasons In New York City

One of the many great things
about living in New York City
is the change of seasons
and the variety of weather

Cool crisp breezes in Autumn
transitioning into frozen blizzards of winter
fading into fresh springtime rain showers
sliding into steamy summer heatwaves

So if you like it warm all the time
then Hawaii might be the place you call home
and if you hate the hot and love the cold
then Alaska could be the place for you to live

But if you love to walk the city streets
in two feet of blinding white snowfall
before three straight months under a blazing sun
then New York City is the greatest place on Earth

06-27-12 Demonic Godess Of The Damned

Hard edge on a metal sound wave tip
Smashing glass out of anger and pain
Destroying the entire world for pleasure
Twisted strange insane inside fatal movements
Fighting all the dogs out in the junkyard
Raging kick start strong on a bolt of lightning
Knocking down doors toward deliverance
Into the vicious flames of eternal hellfire





       

06-26-12 Upper Deck Haiku

Out at the ballpark
Enjoying the summer breeze
Watching a great game

06-25-12 A World Without Superheroes

When we were children
we'd read comic books
and watch cartoons
on Saturday morning

We'd see catastrophic disasters
and evil villains plotting to destroy the world
but there would always be superheroes
who would show up to save the day

Now as an adult I look at the world around me
I see catastrophic disasters on a global scale
I see evil villains plotting to destroy the world
but I'm still waiting for superheroes to save the day




     

06-24-12 In Search Of The Secret Safari

underwater neon sharks
swimming in the deep end
with a thirst for blood

wild starving lions
hunting in a jungle wilderness
roaring under a hot sun 

giant hairy sasquatches
hiding out in the dark woods
leaving huge footprints in mud

magical golden dragons
flying around the mountaintop
breathing flames into the sky

evil robotic dinosaurs
shooting laser beams out of their eyes
turning invisible at will

humongous green sea serpent
splashing below the ocean surface
eating pirate ships for lunch

mutant cyclops gorillas
swinging through the tall trees
secretly plotting to rule the world

vicious zombie unicorns
feasting on forbidden flesh
devouring fresh brains and hearts






       

06-23-12 Dope New Shades

the tricky part of the whole thing is 
you can only really wear 
one pair of sunglasses 
at a time 


yet the question remains 
how are you supposed to rock two signature styles
if you can only wear one pair of sunglasses 
at a time 


The answer is obvious
Don't wear sunglasses at all










  

06-22-12 Central Median Audio

Lost in a musical soundscape
Of colorful rhythm and melody
That takes the listener
On a sonic journey
From start to finish
While simultaneously 
Dropping fresh sunshine rainbows




 

06-21-12 Lunatic Fringe

It's a new look
for the out of style
who live in fear
of dying young
against all odds
while under arrest
after a crazy night
running wild inside
out on the town
upstaged downtown
at the freak show
where hot animals howl
with animal magnetism
cracking the whip
under the neon lights
setting the next trend
at the peak of perfection




     

06-20-12 Rebirth Of Creativity

first words spoken last
written on notebook paper
burning with the wind's whisper
fanning flames of excitement
wasted wisely spent carefully
inside timeless thought patterns
frozen in waves of eternal motion
chosen from nowhere when
all inspiration is lost within
cynical clinical sterilization
killing all imagination without
regard for future knowledge
and it's effect on the process
of creating unimaginable art
from out of the blue up in smoke
rising from the ashes of an inferno
in a gigantic explosion of expression





   

06-19-12 Countdown To Destruction

the climate has changed
and the word on the street
is that doomsday is upon us
so the time has come today

to love the one you're with
to settle the score once and for all
to finally forgive and forget
to find peace within your soul

so saddle up to hunker down
hold on tight to what you've got
get ready for the big bang boom
and kiss the world goodbye

06-18-12 UFO Crash Landing

Up from the skies
We saw it fly
In a fireball
Across the night

Orange flames
Like napalm clouds
Burned a trail
Of intense destruction

Little green men
In silver pilot suits
Came out of the woods
Running and screaming

The Air Force arrived
And told us never to speak
About the events we witnessed
On that strange evening





     

06-17-12 Unplugged

Blackout shutdown frozen in motion Information lost forever in a moment Never to be retrieved again Left floating out in cyberspace Technological nightmares growing Faster inside a wireless snowball Robotic revolution taking over Sparking an electronic evolution When the lights go out for eternity People will read old books by candle flame The fires will burn brightly again As the struggle for survival carries on

06-16-12 Atlantic City Devil Magic

Stardust showdown out on the boardwalk
Underneath a deep blue summertime spell
Towering skyscraper hotel suites sparkling
Like crisp champagne bubbles fizzing

Waves crashing against the sandy beach
Slot machines singing electronic melodies
Seduction of wealth and self destruction
Lust for fantasy amusement park excitement

Street corner hustle
Slick jive scam talk job shuffle
Hideous evil lurking in shadows
Creeping around the casinos





        

06-15-12 It's The Innocent Who Pay

Car chase through crowded streets tonight
crazy running straight through red lights
no regard for what's wrong or what's right
nobody survives the everlasting fight in flight

Gunshots raining bullets into the crowd
innocent mother shot in her chest
with a baby by her side she bleeds to death
a pool of red blood running down the sewer





 

06-14-12 Secret Within A Secret

Robotronic underworld computations calculating
fabulous prophecies teasing the promise of immortality
captured within memories of lost civilizations
reprogrammed to fit the framework of existence
through the persistence of time winding down to doomsday
counting numerical equations to figure out the codes
to unlock the collective consciousness of our species



  

06-13-12 Summertime Soul

Smooth talk to nowhere
listening to your favorite song
on the radio in the kitchen
late in the evening

Kids in love with each other
hanging out on the fire escape
smoking cigarettes and kissing
where the summer lasts forever

Open fire hydrant spraying water
on everybody in the neighborhood
cooling down out in the street
jumping into the stream






      

06-12-12 Purple Dinosaur Broken Heart

LOADED IN RED HOT NEW YORK CITY
ON THE VERGE OF SUPERSTARDOM
STUDYING THE WORDS OF LUCIFER
WHERE ALL THE NEW POETS HANG OUT
SMASHING BEER BOTTLES ON THE WALL
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TIME IT IS
WHEN YOU'RE ALL LIT UP LIKE LIGHTNING
STRIKING OUT FOR THE THIRD TIME TONIGHT
HITTING THE BIG ONE ON THE FOURTH TRY
UNDER THE HILL AND OVER THE WEATHER
IN A BRAND NEW AGE OF GOLDEN DREAMS
WAITING FOR THE BIG BANG TO BLOW
BUBBLES FIZZING AWAY INTO NOTHING
KEEPING IT CLEAN OUT ON THE AVENUE
ALL CAUGHT UP IN CARTOON FANTASIES





  

06-11-12 Old Together

We'll look back on these times
and smile into each other's eyes
as we watch the golden sun set
when we grow old together

We'll remember the days when we struggled
and those difficult sacrifices we made
to make all our dreams come true
when we grow old together

We'll reflect upon the good times
playing carelessly like happy children
and we'll pause for the sorrows we shared
when we grow old together

We'll stroll hand in hand
while walking through the neighborhood
wondering how the time went by so fast
when we grow old together

And I'll love you more than ever



   

06-10-12 Encounter At Pere Lachaise

When I landed in France
I didn't have a place to stay
so I walked around in the night
drinking a bottle of red wine

It was late and I was tired
so I found a park that was
full of beautiful art sculptures
made from stone and marble

I took shelter inside a sculpture
but realized that I couldn't sleep
because there were too many people
walking around outside the structure

When I crawled out of the sculpture
I was surrounded by people who
were dressed in a peculiar style
as if it was three hundred years ago

I befriended a beautiful woman
who was wearing a long yellow gown
with her hair all done up in a big mess
hidden beneath a bright yellow hat

All the people were walking in a daze
but no one uttered a single word out loud
and when I spoke to the woman in yellow
she put a finger to her lips and said Shhhhh

It was at that moment that I realized
that all of these people were ghosts
and the stone and marble sculptures
were tombstones in a cemetery

So I asked the woman in yellow
if she could bring me to the grave
of the great Jim Morrison himself
and the woman paused for a moment

She waved for me to follow her
and we walked together into the night
along a dark path littered with dried flowers
as strange cats scurried back and forth

We passed the graves of Isadora Duncan
and Edith Piaf then walked past the tombs
of Frederic Chopin and Oscar Wilde
then we continued on a narrow cobblestone path

Finally we arrived at the top of a steep hill
where we saw the mighty Lizard King perched
then he glared at us with a wicked smile and laughed
as he transformed into a giant fiery demon with red eyes

I gasped in horror and ran away as fast as I could
down the hill along the narrow cobblestone path
and over the wall without ever looking back again
but I could still here Jim's demented maniacal laugh

The very next day I got on a plane and flew back home
to New York City and sometimes when I am alone at night
I think of the beautiful woman in the yellow dress and
I hear Jim Morrison calling to me from his haunted grave

06-07-12 Thunderstorms In The Neighborhood

Rains pour down
out along Queens Boulevard
as cars race back and forth
splashing in giant puddles

For a brief moment
the hot summer sun
shines straight through
a break in the clouds
and unleashes a rainbow
across the endless sky

Traffic lights reflecting
on the wet streets below
as people with umbrellas
run for their lives to cross
all the way to the other side





      

06-06-12 Fighters And Lovers

The days are long
and there's a lot of work
in the brutal metropolis

We fight hard to win
then we fight even harder
simply to stay on top

But when the fighting is through
the only thing I want to do
is come right home to be with you

06-04-12 Strawberry Moon Eclipse

It's armageddon outside

on the apocalypse planet

Everybody's pushing and shoving

but nobody's loving a lot

All the freaks are running crazy

in the streets of hell town central

When the Devil has his way with you

it's hard to keep yourself clean

So all the children are nasty dirty

where the wicked winds set sail

It's nobody's business but your own

if you want to go gruesome today

Growing out of control quickly

dancing naked in a circle around fire

Smashing windows in a sinful jubilee

burning down the neighborhood

Feasting on flesh in the name of blood

creating chaos breaking down society

Sensual warfare fought in sinful bliss

kissing in the name of destruction

Violent euphoria busting out all over

feeling furiously alive in passionate pain

All the animals are running free

in a tribal cult of ecstacy 

          

06-03-12 Natural

Taking a deep breath

to enjoy a moment of nature

back to the beautiful wilderness

where we were born

and where we belong

so far away from technology

without being poisoned by pollution

bathing in quiet human reflection

to enjoy the Earth and it's inhabitants

and to exist in peaceful tranquility




    

06-02-12 Robots And Race Cars

Two tons of steel
Hell bent on destruction
Faster than the wink of an eye
Racing towards an uncertain future

Hot rods on parade
Terrifying display of power
Greased up gears all ready to go
Dominating dreams of all little boys
