12-31-15 The Art Of Expression

we all create art
in some special way
in everything we do
that art is all out there
in fact art is everywhere

art can be
neither created
nor destroyed
art is self employed

everything exists
in the atmosphere
so say what you think
and do what you feel
capture it real
in any form
of expression





     

12-30-15 Shady Lawyers At The Courthouse

you should see these guys
with their hair slicked back
in the morning at the courthouse
spending their grandfathers' money
wearing sharp tailored pinstripe suits
sitting cross legged all spread out
reading a giant unfolded newspaper
dropping in to request a postponement
briefly before leaving to cash the check





   

12-29-15 Curse Of The Secret Ninja Warriors

There is a monster in my mind
All thoughts are transforming
The madness is growing strong
Poison flowing red in my blood
Voices calling out from beyond
Trapped between duel existences
Bowing to the sun on the mountain
Channeling sacred ancient energies






   

12-28-15 Spirit Of The Frost Goddess

Whisper in wintergreen
Kisses on a snowflake
Sparkling stars twinkle
Lights flicker in a chill

Ice crystals shimmering
Enchanted visions of beauty
Songs of birds flying south
Monster blizzards up north

Cold winds blowing down
From the distant mountains
White clouds obscure the sky
The silver moonflower blooms




 

12-27-15 Push The Reset Button

ran out early
to pick up food
at the supermarket
before the rush

spilled coffee
all over my pants
which I washed
yesterday

got soaked
when it started
pouring rain
on my way back

all the groceries fell
out of the wet bags
as I struggled up
the tall staircase

turned the key
walked in the door
no one home
I was all alone

dried myself off
changed my clothes
it's never too late
to start over again




   

12-26-15 Behind The Magic

A wizard's work
Is never done
That's why we
Have fun

Spells can tell
Another side
To the same
Glorious story

At the castle
Whipping up
An old potion
Against evil

Mystic energy
Can wear you
Down slowly
Exhausted

Tired out after
Long days spent
Fighting dragons
To the death





   

12-25-15 Christmas In The City

Electric rainbow
Christmas lights
Blinking on and off
Silent Night on the radio

Early morning
Subway ride to nowhere
People barely smile
Waiting for a miracle

Sidewalk Santa
Collecting change
For the poor kids
Who have nothing

Smell of the trees
I used to gather
Broken branches
To make a wreath

Wrapping paper
For sale on the corner
Two for a buck
Stolen from a truck

Empty streets
Quiet buzz around town
The pigeons don't know
What day it is



 

12-24-15 There's Always A War Going On

BRUTAL BLOODBATH
RAINING DOWN ON US
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
OUT IN THE STREETS

SCREAMS FOR HELP
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
MILITARY EXORCISM
EMBEDDED TROOPS

BURNING CARS EXPLODE
BOMBED OUT SCHOOLS
COLD AND EMPTY SHELLS
DESTROYERS OF FREEDOM

MORE TAX DOLLARS TO KILL
OVERTHROW ANOTHER WORLD
INNOCENT LOST ORPHANS CRY
SOMEONE'S MAKING MONEY




       

12-23-15 Marble Tunnel Mystery Box

missing pieces are found
midnight in the afternoon
vulnerable to the elements
subterranean ceremonies
destroy any good ideas
power is finally restored
to those who had none

Riders Of The Ocean Rain
Murdered In A Secret Order
Kill These Skies With Poison
Build A New World Again

12-22-15 Children Of The Darkness

They'll eat your heart out
In exclusive outer space circles
Until the paparazzi come crawling
Calling out to the vampires in the night

Rocketship in your back pocket
Sailing off into the blazing sunset
Get your free drinks at the cocktail bar
Before the zombies multiply into a crowd

Embarrass all your fake friends
Tell them what you really think
Spill your drink and make a mess
Throw up in the bathroom sink

Insanity is never ending torture
Too many nights spent running around
Success can do more damage than good
Mortality is a tough lesson to learn







     

12-21-15 Another Year Passes

Farewell to the old days
Growing old is always painful

Changes are never ever easy
I suppose it's all for the best

Or at least what's meant to be
But we survive to grow stronger

Then pass on what we have learned
To the next generation of children

As we make a smooth transition
From this life into the next






   

12-20-15 Genuflections For The King

High dive
Into the deep end
Without getting wet

Walking on water
Didn't catch fire
Until the legend

Sing the blues
From your heart
Until you drop

Never stop the music
Make the girls melt
Then leave the building





   

12-19-15 Unbroken Chains Of Friendship

special friendships last eternally
bonds of love that cannot break
good times bad times sad times
connected by common threads

spirits intertwined in space and time
locked into a cosmic dance through the ages
meant to be all in the family forever
together on the journey of life







     

12-18-15 We Are The Star Wars Generation

We grew up after Vietnam 
But before the Gulf War
And in the days between
We had Star Wars

We played with action figures
In the backyard after school
We became powerful Jedi masters
Dueling for the fate of the galaxy

We read comic books and novels
From an ever expanding universe
We dressed up in Boba Fett costumes
When it wasn't even Halloween

We've studied the teachings of Yoda
And practiced the ways of the Force
We stayed away from the Dark Side
And learned to use our powers for good

We wished we were Han Solo
And fell in love with Princess Leia
We'd defeat Darth Vader and the Empire
From our seat in the Millenium Falcon

We are the Star Wars Generation
And Star Wars is forever





   

12-16-15 Stepping Off The High Wire

Midnight
Mind erasing
Mine is racing
Heartbeat chasing

Jitters chatters grinders
Finders keepers creepers

Pacing around
Back and forth
All night long
Until after dawn

Hands are shaking
Body is quaking
Fever warm chills
Fear trembling
Sweat dripping
Brains flipping

Neither here
Nor there
Can't decode
Won't decide

Deep breaths
Don't work
Slow songs
Speeding up

It never stops
Then one day
It stops forever






   

12-16-15 Living In The Blink Of An Eye

On the edge of eternity
Rooted in extreme reality
Existing in this moment
Like a snapshot memory
The picture fades in time
But the image lasts forever




 

12-15-15 Visions Of Blind Meditation

Leap tall buildings
In a single bound

Test the boundaries
Break down the borders

Raindrops crackling
On the windowsill

Floating out in space
Sailing through the moons

Reach out from beyond
Come back with a sign

Early in the morning
Birds are singing

Reward your brain
With food for thought

Remember the spirit
Feel the soul





   

12-14-15 Choosing The Right Words

I borrowed some words
For this special occasion
When there was nothing
Left to say to anyone

Let's get back to goodness
Return to mint condition
Turn the whole ship around
Tell it like it really is

Believe in magic
It's all you have to do
When you have nothing
Or something left to lose




 

12-13-15 Antique Energies

broken glass on the floor
droplets of blood on the tiles
kaleidoscope of colors swirl
echoes awakened suddenly
loud voices in the hallway
far away from the city streets
silence in the early morning
decades spent stuck in time
find a little something extra
golden memories never fade
extra action under the umbrella
ghosts can live inside objects
sitting on the porch playing music
interpreting messages in the air
preserved for future generations
sooner or later they will find you
masters of precision execution
realistic scientific fiction scenario
risking it all out at the speedway
getting everything under control
another sidewinder sneaking up
believe in the unbelievable truth
miracles in fast food technology
remembering the best experience
victories on the battlefield of life
at the end of the good old days








   

12-12-15 Reflections Behind A Two Way Mirror

Tell us how you really feel

Behind the smiley face you play

Beyond your mask and costume

Past the lies you tell yourself

To sleep alone another night

Before the wounds have healed

Between emotions covered up

There is poison in your blood

Somebody hurt you real bad

Deep down inside your heart

And that hurt never went away

You wear it like expensive jewelry 

I see myself in your eyes

Reflections of the pain

Examining why we cry 

To grow stronger at last

      

12-11-15 A Hidden Cabin In Deep Woods

isolated

alone

quiet stillness 

desolation

protected by trees

shelter from storms

primitive 

simple

not a single

luxury

no electricity 

no traffic

remote 

solitude 

space to think

freedom

fresh air

peace at last

    

12-10-15 Eve Of The Apocalypse

Stay tuned
For the rest
Of your life

I will protect you
Take my hand
Let's go far away

Tempted by
Evil serpent
Seduction

Monsters are real
Don't be afraid
You are a monster too

Eat the apple
Drink the poison
Escape on doomsday

No way out
In the garden
Of destruction



   

12-09-15 Cipriani On A Tuesday Night

Marble columns surround us
Golden trimmings adorn the walls
Underneath higher ceilings above
Fancy celebrities wear hot fashions
We're talking ball gowns and bow ties
Paparazzi snapping shots on the street
These guys are all worth a million bucks
The drinks are free and the food is incredible
The band plays on well into the evening
Long historical vibrations echo all around
Legendary men and women have walked
On these articulated mosaic polished tile floors
A timeless energy fills this space for eternity
And here I am wondering how I wound up here





   

12-08-15 Liberal Use Of Magic

Midnight radiation
Pouring out of my skull

Pure love from inside
The best parts of my heart

Remembering when
We were kids together

Casting spells around
On the crowded city sidewalk

Making people believe
In the spirit of excitement

Lavish gifts showered
In golden castles from nowhere

Make it all better
Don't let any more bad stuff happen

Fix all the problems
With the power of a few words

12-07-15 Country Style Sweetness

Nowhere here
Out in the clear
Sincerely yours
For a new year

Blue sky stretch
For miles beyond
Dreams blooming
Make a wish

Listen closely
Call of the beast
Leave it alone
Stay awakened

Check this out
Reloaded again
Shoot off steam
Fire away






 

12-06-15 Time Travel Vortex

Step into the vortex
To travel through time
Let's get back to yesterday
Live again in the old world

Sing with the cowboys
Groove with the beats
Dance with the dinosaurs
Paint with the masters

Hop into the vortex today
To travel around through time
Let's get back to tomorrow
See you again in the future






   






   

12-05-15 Chelsea Hotel #105

Take a long walk
Up the staircase
And look around
Catch a glimpse

Elevator is broken
Down the hallway
Inside a dream world
Explosive energy

Subtle red glow
Lightbulb blinking
Someone screaming
Or singing opera

Fire alarm again
She slowly fell asleep
With a lit cigarette
Burning the bed

Soft whispers of smoke
Swan dive through time
Bohemian gypsy spirit
The smell of old perfume

Hidden in a mystery box
Glamorized fashion lifestyle
Tumultuous in New York
Hot blazing afternoon fun

Art school death squad
Rooftop party until morning
Sunlit shadows create shapes
Patterns of movement shift

Loud knocking tonight
Strange feelings permeate
A voice from yesterday
Music from somewhere else






   







 

12-04-15 Immortal In This Moment

infinity
always comes
with a price tag
attached

sleep
never comes
without small
sacrifice

frozen
in a time warp
at this moment
captured

luck
sometimes comes
from out of nowhere
infinitely





   

12-03-15 New Sun Drop Honeydew

Make the right decision
Stay away from the drama
Try not to do bad stuff
Be friendly and kind to others

Miracle breakthrough
Right around the corner
To change the way we live
Exploring every option

Reach out to save a life
Don't turn a blind eye here
Create more goodness
Spread the best energy

11-30-15 Sasquatch At The NoMad Hotel

Big hairy ape-like creature
Strolling uptown on Broadway
Checking out the ladies at lunch
Living on street corner hot dogs

Large smelly swamp beast
With reservations at the NoMad
Holding court with the monsters
Killing it downtown this year

Mysterious bipedal primate
Taking the subway home after work
Watching the game at the bar tonight
Finally getting a good night's sleep





   

11-29-15 Finding A Path To Peace

It's a long way to go
To find a special place

Where it's so silent
You can hear your own voice
Speaking clearly and loudly
Out into the universe





 

11-28-15 Psycho Rocket Astro Catastrophe

Something strange 

Is in the air tonight

Hold on to the tail

Sail into supernovas

Flying into the future

Automatic brain eaters
Feasting on your soul
Revenge of the undead
My heart yearns for you

Stuffing and sweet potatoes
Killers stalking their prey
Roadside hitchhiker ghost
Thanksgiving day parade

Lick the sharp knife clean
Vultures circle in dark skies
Rats eating the decaying flesh
Hot apple pie for desert






   

11-25-15 The Warrior Inside Us All

Beyond what words explain
Fall in love to live again
Fight against the dreaded beast
Then live to fight another day

Bet the farm and beat the odds
Rise above the brutal pain
Strong enough to win the war
Man enough to walk away


   

11-24-15 Prophecy With A Scooby Doo Ending

I saw a snake on the subway today
Your venom is more red than green
Kill quietly undercover in the dark
Holy robots serving tea in prison
Disco lights flashing our youth away
It is now time to start counting animals
Slaughter in the rainforest destroys us
Create new worlds with your imagination
Our government is corrupted absolutely
Objects have been reported in the skies
Believe in magic no matter what they say
You only have to worry about everything
Destruction of our natural resources is bad
Obviously this planet is in significant danger
Oblivion is right around the corner tomorrow
Polluted oceans breeding radioactive fish
The air we breathe is not much cleaner
Earthlings are not the only life forms
This universe is expanding everlasting
Healthy trees grow towards the sunshine
Fantastic bumblebee golden chocolate
Marble puzzle pieces put back together
Haunted theater with a funky phantom
It was actually the old usher in disguise
And he would've gotten away with it
If it wasn't for you meddling kids




 

11-23-15 Angels Are Everywhere

Challenge yourself
To make a difference

Heroes rise to the occasion
Created by their circumstances

Fix the broken system
Do all you can to make it right

Let your positive energy
Spread like a wildfire virus

Help those in need
Assist people less fortunate

Be a genuinely nice guy
In a town where nobody's nice

Use your own voice
To pass along a good word

Send a message of love
Across the blue skies above






   

11-22-15 Holiday Dinner At Mom's House

wash the salt away
listen to the silent symphony
hot spices in your soup
running barefoot in the grass

fall trees all sway around
early afternoon sunset colors
a slow drive out in the woods
holidays at mom's house

fireplace cooking tonight
marshmallow chocolate cookies
watching an old movie on tv
snuggled under a warm blanket

gather around the table
precious family time together
feasting with full plates
thankful for this wonderful meal






   

11-21-15 Kiss Of Destruction

Swimming in pools of cherry blood
Fire and brimstone in earthquake zones
Prophecies are coming to fruition now
Soldiers of doom celebrating death

Killing off all the life left on this planet
Mass extinction couldn't have had worse timing
Polluted humans toxic sludge smokestack poison
Genetically manipulated food in chemical baths

Quiet darkness of nothing left alive
Storms roll in and echo another time
Computers left to continue the next phase
Robots will inherit Earth when we're gone

11-18-15 This Is A Special Report

The sky is falling
Here we go again
The cycle continues
Wait patiently still

In a time of great sensitivity
No one really knows anything
The cable news channels melt
Breaking up to the minute now

With tension in their bones
Take these threats seriously
The praises of apocalypse
No time for entertainment

Evil has returned
To spread darkness
In the grip of fear
This is no joke

feeling the pain
together


                   sunset at the beach
                              summer peach
             teardrops
                            dipped
                                       in
                                             candy
  stars and shapes
                             moon in full bloom

       loud and clear
                              i love you







   

11-16-15 Power Of Light

enjoying life's liberties
enlightened in the universe



 

11-15-15 Grandma's Voice

Sometimes
I hear your voice
In my own voice
Speaking through me
From my heart
From your heart

Sometimes
I hear your voice
In my own voice
Speaking to my son
Like you spoke to me
When I was a boy
From your heart
To my heart
And now
To his heart

it was all pretty quiet afterwards





 

11-13-15 Visions Of Invasions

We sailed into the sky
On a magical flying ship
To see the stars in space

Intercepted transmissions
Radio waves television signals
Messages out into the universe

The massive warships attacked
In the middle of that cold dark night
By morning our cities were destroyed

They took our women and children
To a planet out beyond this galaxy
Repopulating their dying world

How's the weather up there

Are you alive somewhere else
You are always alive inside my heart

11-08-15 Riot In The Old Church

Smash hits through the stained glass

Light a candle sing a song say a prayer
Don't waste your time on the bad things
Celebrate the life you have




 

11-07-15 Speeding Ticket Highway Drive

Long drive at night
Passing lights too bright

So many billboard messages
Every tollbooth has a story
This adventure never ends

Enduring cycles of suffering

Cleaning everything up inside
Good as new like true love

Castles rise from the shore
Surrounded by a giant moat
Full of salt water and sea shells





   

11-03-15 Awesome Poem

A wishful whisper
confused With a whistle
strolling along into Eternity
immortality is not an exact Science
fighting a giant Octopus inside infinity
lost in deep Meditation out in the universe
receiving Extraterrestrial messages





 

11-02-15 Spiders In The Garden

A quiet spot in the shade
Under the old willow tree
Behind the barn where flowers grow

Sitting spinning delicate webs
Under silver moonlight showers
Catch a fly for breakfast tomorrow

Droplets of fresh morning dew
Under a new day swaying in breezes
Existing forever within this moment






   

11-01-15 Analyze Every Little Detail

Coming along strong but wrong
Tied up popped high into the air
Take the shot now before it's gone
The robots are reading every word

Playing some music to heal feel good
Earn cash back after every purchase
Winning at the top of the power rankings
Get ready for the main event of the season

Legendary performance when it counted
Catch a hot beat running in my mind
Always hustle when you cross the street
Never leave your pants on the floor





   

10-31-15 Dance Of The Skeletons

Boney tree branches
Grabbing at me
In the dark night

On the farm picking apples
Monsters hiding in shadows

Anticipating the fun to start 
Forever comes to those who wait
Spooky goblins running wild




    

10-30-15 Mischief Night

Sing a sweet song to sleep all night
On the road to success and happiness

Life changing opportunities appear
Once in a lifetime experiences arrive
Then they disappear before your eyes

One day these words will catch fire
Yesterday those worlds passed by
Tomorrow these seeds will sprout
This exact moment is all that counts







 

10-25-15 Sewn Into The Fabric

United in our passions
Undivided in our love
Ultimate excitement
Used up all the gasoline

Save our souls from evil
Shotguns out in the old barn
Shooting at tin cans on a log
Slaughterhouse politics

A cold beer on a hot day
A great ball game on TV
A slice of warm apple pie
A juicy steak on the barbecue

Dead leaves on the ground






   

10-21-15 Champagne Soaked Drama

Trick track stack
Saints from somewhere
Primed to celebrate
Flip the fruit for fun

Destructive urges
Morning terrors

Sick on the carpet
Far after last call
Crush your heart
Sadness forever

Lose everything else

10-19-15 What Will You Do

What will you do
When the internet crashes
When the smart phones die
When the electricity turns off

When the money disappears
When the hospitals shut down
When the food supply runs out
When your family is torn apart
What will you do

Cities evolving
Like a garden
In the universe




   

10-16-15 Monster Sightings

Dark winds blow stronger
Sinister movement in shadows
Spirits gather quietly at night

A strange creature was spotted
Somewhere out near the swamp
It's eyes were red and it stood up
Before disappearing quickly




   

10-15-15 Underground Nightcrawlers

Creatures creeping everywhere
Microscopic monsters multiply
Subway science experiments
Construction zone building up
Digging tunnels while we sleep
Do it all again tomorrow night

Warm dry and alive
Frozen slow motion
In a peaceful moment





   

10-13-15 A Good Baseball Guy

He was a good baseball guy
Each and every morning
You could find him reading
With his wrinkled newspaper
Checking the box scores
Of the all the games
Circling key stats
With his pencil

He was a good baseball guy
Each and every morning
Drinking his cup of coffee
Telling us all golden tall tales
About The Clipper Joe DiMaggio
And those good old Yankees legends
He saw them play back in the day
He heard the crack of the bat
Then the roar of the crowd




   

10-12-15 Space Monkey Rocket Zero

Eating us for breakfast
We were the experiment

When you pause to reflect on everything
To slow down low but never miss a beat

Dreams guide our way to destiny
Believe in those ideas that set you free
Do whatever you truly enjoy forever





 

10-10-15 Sliding Backwards Into The Future

Long drive home
Don't take it all
So seriously

Active relativity
Down the road away
Sinful existance

Send assistance
Stuck in prison
Life is good

Send our best
Kiss the wind
Touch the sky

Late night movie
October monsters
Junk food buffet




   

10-09-15 Too Far Gone At Comic Con

Golden dragon's fire raining down
Space pirates make their escape
Giant green creatures terrorize us
Classic movie monsters haunting

Comic book masterpiece illustration
Vintage action figure treasure hunt
Costume creations on display today
You never even knew this stuff existed

Superhero magic colors splashing
Evil genius master plan to destroy
Toy robots buzzing around the room
Save the world all day long again

10-08-15 Hudson Rail Yard Blues

Towers rising
Up from the ground
Like upright cities
Scraping the skies
From high up above
The old neighborhood

We used to grab
A hot dog and a soda
From the cart on the corner
Then we'd sit on a bench
In the park across the street
Sauerkraut and mustard
We were both so young
Now that bench is gone
The whole park is gone





   

10-07-15 Out On The Field

Out on the field
Nothing else counts
The world stops spinning
This game is everything

Out on the field
There are no friends
The score will be settled
A winner and a loser

Out on the field
Spending free time
Hanging on every pitch
Summer lasts forever




   

10-06-15 Final Hours

Last gasp of air
Before the end

Remember the thrills
Feel the love of your life
Let go of all the bad stuff
Follow the golden light




   

10-05-15 Autumn Birds

A small bird
Sits on a
Tree branch
Quietly
Eating a bug
Before
Flying away





 

10-04-15 Notes From A Time Traveler

Destroyer on the run
Fear the ultimate fate
Demons with evil eyes
Cities burning far away

Skies of fire blazing bright
Black smoke clouds rising
Future uncertain at this time
Faster internet connections

Monsters of science are alive
Silent killers creeping beneath
Raging like frightened animals
Ready to rule the world tomorrow




   

10-03-15 Playtime With My Son

Someday
You'll remember
These good times
And smile

When we'd play
Carelessly casual
In the afternoon
Laughing out loud

Setting up blocks
Knocking them down
Singing our songs
Dancing like fools




   

10-02-15 Champagne Hallucinations

Dolphins swimming 

Down Main Street

Schools of Swedish fish

Multiplying exponentially 

Sweet candy soda stream

Ice cream cookie cupcakes

Golden gods riding motorcycles

In hotel hallways hell bent on heat 

The latest fashions on display

Grotesque monsters lurking below

Too much garbage piling up above

The stink of hot trash is overpowering

High class excess hidden in plain sight

Weekend backstage party with the devil

Low tide flooding in mint green oceans

Beautiful sunrise on the train tracks

UFOs and flying saucers spinning in the sky

Rainbow in your eyes with the future ahead

City streets silently crackling in a rain storm

Lightning crackles on a hot electric evening

Cartoon comic book spaceship laserbeams

Superheroes flying forever in your imagination

    

10-01-15 Apocalypse Of The Week

All the animals
Driven to extinction
Earthquake rumble
As cities crumble

Superstorm hurricane
Floods swallow everything
Sea levels rising higher
Until its all underwater

World at war
Destruction everywhere
Innocent children
Slaughtered in the streets

We'll survive the crisis
Living to see another sunrise
Rising like a Phoenix
To rebuild this world stronger




   

09-30-15 Attack Of The Killer Spiders

that lasts
for
a long time
without
interruption
brings
everlasting peace




 

09-28-15 Genetically Modified Food Poison

My food is genetically modified
And it's eating me all up inside
Pesticides preservatives chemicals
Poison runs through our veins
And the cancer waits patiently 



   

09-27-15 The Warlock Of Words

I'm on a quest
For supreme magic
To conjure up words
From out of thin air

To sculpt a poem
From nothing at all
Into something special
That might impact you

Fine crafted work
The power to create
Is infinitely stronger
Than the power to destroy




 

09-26-15 Infrastructure Evolving

Construction detour up ahead
Improvement plans in effect
Plant some trees make it better
Building strong walls and bridges

New roads take us far away
Tunnels and highways open up
Shelter from the coming storm
Homes to keep us safe and warm




   

09-25-15 Rocket Fuel To The Fire

Riding a rainbow comet
Into radioactive clouds
Circuits are overloaded
The circus is in town

Hard rocket ship landing
Light station laserbeams
Insect warriors from below
Quiet fires burn brightest

Lessons turn never learned
Greater treasures are buried
Impossible daydreams die
Don't waste the energy again

Hot shot straight to the heart
Broken mirror beauty shattered
Gone quicker than light speed
Programmed for eternal happiness




   

09-24-15 Indian Summer Sun Burn

Called out for replacement
The turning point of this season
Hard to adjust to all these changes
Making a killing giving second chances

Hard cool wind in September days
Wolfman lurking right around the corner
Storms swarm the coastline crying rain
Flooded with devestation once again

You can never end with a bend like that
Let me bleed and do all the work for you
Robots will rise and take over the world
I will meet you in some future apocalypse

is left meaningless still
when it doesn't matter
anymore in the end




 

09-22-15 Panda Bear Poem

Magic and mystery are real
Deep in the forest you find it
Sitting quietly in the dense trees
Munching on eucalyptus leaves

Make a wish and tell your story
The universe is spinning around
Time stands still for a moment
In the presence of panda bears





   

09-21-15 Lost In The Early Morning

In the quiet darkness of night
I will follow the light home

Evil streets are sparkling
Electric romance in the city

The subways are so lonely
This is not a great place to be





   

09-20-15 Cloud Iridescence

Rainbows in the clouds
Ice particles inside bubbles
Beautiful weather phenomenon
Like a halO around the sun

Catch it while you can
Don't hold your breath
If you blink your eyes
It will be gone forever






   

09-19-15 Deep Country Style

Pickle jars in your neck
Of the woods are good

We won't mind if the
Dirty whiskey gets warm

Out in the country farms
Our biscuits are buttered

Bacon and eggs at breakfast
Hot cup of coffee at sunrise

Splashing trucks in the mud
Climbing trees in the summer

Swimming in the cold lake
Looking for mysterious monsters

Settle down quiet in the evening
Time to rest and do it again tomorrow







     

09-18-15 Mood Ring Colors

Listen to my heart
Crying to my Mom
Screaming in pain

Music in my soul
Singing out loud
Overloaded with joy

Furious blind anger
Hatred flowing inside
Vicious destruction

Radiate positive energy
Start off on a high note
Share the love for life




   

09-17-15 Taxi Rider

Cruising uptown
In the back seat
Of a yellow cab
Windows down
On a warm day
With cool wind
Blowing softly
Headphones in
Smelling tasting
Watching it all
Tall buildings
Crowded streets
My city is alive
And I am here
To soak it all in




 

09-16-15 Golden Advice Frim Electric Angels

Live again

09-14-15 The Best Is Unexpected

Destiny is in the hands of fate

Chain reaction events transpire
Make a wish and watch it come true

But it never really happens that way
The road ahead is chosen for us already
Led down the path on a life journey
To put you in the right place





 

09-13-15 First Frost Of The Season

settle down for the night
preparations have been made
there's a chilly feeling in the air

snuggle up under a cozy blanket
safe from the harsh weather outside

The battle rages on ahead

Moving sidewalks rolling

Take a moment to make a wish
Here is where you're supposed to be
You are exactly where you think you are

Delayed reaction on the call
Reverse decision after review
Pass the test with blind colors

Win the race faster at any cost
The score is tied forever again

Take care of the people who need help

Greed before survival for some
Come home hungry for dinner early
Walk on the moon for a moment

Sprung a leak
Wrecked everything
Setback to move ahead
Here we go again

Broken down
Trapped in an elevator

Rise above the bad

These politicians can kiss my ass
Freedom comes with a heavy price

Play ball in the afternoon

We were kings for a day every day

With strawberry gumdrop rainstorms
Where I can finally get some peace




   

08-20-15 Misunderstood Sasquatch

Bigfoot lays down the law
At the right time to get up
But he's misunderstood
And it's no good

He seems to like how it tastes
And when he raids your camp site
He'll go for the cookies
But he ain't no Wookiee

Stand up in the incredible world tomorrow 

Focusing clear on the current core issues 

Magnetic messages lost in the translation

Find your way back home again to safety 

    

08-09-15 Those Rarities You Never See

We will show up anytime
The fun will never end

Strange beasts shift in the night

Evil lurking on a dead end prowl

Shivers in a cold foggy nightmare

Terrors jolt fear into our hearts

Bloodlust thirsty after midnight

Demons dance to an unnatural rhythm

As the city never sleeps away the moon

Electric beauty of the sunrise shines

In golden tones of poison radiation

Their pale skin burned to a crisp

This was the end of the vampires

    

08-02-15 Robotic Invaders From Outer Space

They were programmed

And now we live on to celebrate
The independence of all mankind

We find our spirit guide
Following shapes of stars
Carrying the fire around

You'll never see it coming
And you'll never forget it

Take a rocketship to the moon

07-17-15 Bryant Park Morning Madness

Subway breakdown sunshine
Stroll through Times Square
On my way to work today
Electric energy on the street
Tourists take a million photos
As I boogie down Broadway
On a warm summer morning
New York stories in motion
Yawning before my coffee
Cutting through Bryant Park

Take a deep breath

Tall buildings tower above
Random characters reading
Behind the great old library
Wake up in a beautiful daze
Ozone haze sparkling around
Yellow taxis and city buses
Police car sirens wailing loudly
Sitting quietly in tranquil peace
Away from the everyday hustle
While the whole city blossoms

07-13-15 Cascadia

Middle of the night
Suddenly frightened
At that exact moment
When it all changed
Forever until the end

Rumble into a brumble
Crumbling underground
The sound of dogs barking
Fires burning everywhere
Chaos in a state of emergency

Tsunami waves swallow
A storm of rubble debris
Swept away in an instant
Into a soup of destruction
Washing over the toxic city





   

07-12-15 Broken Down Dream Factory

One hour photo
World wide web
Pulling strings
Behind your back

Hide from dreams

Invent the war
Invest in the guns
Blow up the world
All the way home




   

07-11-15 Late Afternoon At Yankee Stadium

Hinted at powerful crystal magic
Swimming at the hidden waterfall
Fried chicken and a cold root beer
The meaning of life is meaninglessness

Red apples on your left
As soon as you open the door
Warmer welcomes never seen
Invisible eyes off the top

Up the staircase into heaven
Flashing lights and cartoon colors
Over the rainbow into outer space
Sonic landscapes evolve into visions

Time travel gets old after a while
Your strange trip is getting weirder
Going home to where you need to be
Lost in an alternate reality for eternity




 

07-04-15 Cherry Lolipop Firecracker Kisses

stunning beauty from above
life unfolds before your eyes
summer breeze flowing in
through your open windows

fireworks exploding in the distance
a little bit of love goes a long way
the smell of freedom floats in the air
hot sweetness sweating out open pores

we are young and having fun
light the fuse then run run run



   

07-03-15 Nostalgia Act

Those old songs
Bring back memories
Of when we were young
To feel so good again






 

07-02-15 Cool Down Slow

Sitting on a bench
In a quiet little spot
Breathing fresh air
On a blue afternoon
Under an orange sun
Blazing summer heat
Peace and tranquility




 

07-01-15 My Golden Son Shines

You are my magic

The kiss of true love

Put under your spell

The art of affection 

You are the spirit

That guides my way

On the road of life

Deep down in my heart

You are the light

That shines in my soul

Glowing so bright

Don't ever forget it

    

06-30-15 Little Heart

Little heart
Broken
So disappointed
Crying
Sad sad sad

Little heart
Feel better




   

06-29-15 Hack The Code

Silence those evil voices
Clean your house occasionally
You don't know me at all
Serious business experience

Space flight interplanetary
Travel through the dark spaces
The key can be found somewhere
One hundred armies have failed

Nobody left to defend the planet
Evacuation was a necessary plan
Nowhere to hide from the supernova
Close the book on extinction





 

06-28-15 Believe It Or Not

Rock monsters evolve
Robot masters revolt
Experimental science
Rockets exploding

Mutant hero radiation
Beast that shouldn't be
Escaped from the lab
Out into the wild

Ghosts in the mirror
Creatures in the swamp
Wicked witch melting
Wizard magic electricity




   

06-27-15 Rebel Heart

Break the rules
Now is the time
Rock N Roll
Never say die

Don't care
Fight against it
Rise up strong
Independence




 

06-26-15 Love Is The Answer

This is a great day
Today is awesome
The law has changed
We can love

Don't stop the fight
It's not over yet
But it's better than
It was yesterday

Amazing grace
Is singing out
And we don't care
What you look like

Love is free
Love is all the same
Love
Love
Love





   

06-25-15 Intergalactic Superhero Monsters

Save the universe
Ride the train to work
Eat cars on the moon
Fly away into space

Crush cities instantly
Kiss the future goodbye
Total world domination
Triple play from yesterday

Kill you with a smile
Laserbeams and silver spaceships
Fighting for freedom's justice
Bring peace and harmony





   

06-24-15 It Gets Late Early

Lazy days
At Yankee Stadium
Sure are fun

But

Nothing compares
To a warm afternoon
In the middle of June
Spent running around
The old schoolyard
Tossing a baseball
Way up high in the air
With long shadows
Under a golden sun
With my little son
While we're young






   

06-23-15 The Paradox Of Politics

So much
To be
Said about
Nothing

Nothing
To be
Said about
So much




   

06-22-15 Atomic Fireball Sunset

The beauty of summer
Flowers in full bloom
Antique designs in wood
Country biscuits and gravy

Birds fly from treetops
Soft clouds blanket fluff
Blue skies shining bright
The moon comes out tonight




   

06-21-15 Pirate Bay Castaway

Lost at sea
Nowhere in between
Last sight unseen
With no direction
Turn around again
Switching gears
Changing lanes
Surviving storms
Sailing away
Into the sun





   

06-20-15 Twisted Twilight Zone Ending

Family junkyard sandwich clothes
Distant memory check return trip
Highway savage syrup tire flipper
Waffle fruit breakfast lunch menu
Astronaut apple pie taxi can milk
Midtown middle management melt
Hot trash trouble brew in full force
Pottery in motion flying to nowhere
And we all lived happily ever after





 

06-19-15 The Sixth Extinction Has Begun

get behind mother nature
save all the endangered animals
stop destroying our planet for profit
don't pollute the world anymore




   

06-18-15 Confessions Of A Time Traveler

Three days ago
Tomorrow became yesterday
Today began to fade out
Years changed to minutes
Memories crumbled away
The course of time shifted
True life alternated reality

We walked with legends
On their own turf





   

06-17-15 At Least We Had Internet Access

If there was
Anything to talk about
At least we had
Free WIFI

06-15-15 UFO Flight Shift Revelation

Spinning saucers
Magic fire in space
Swept away forever
Touched off an explosion
Storms moving in our direction
Shooting stars sliding down
Swimming in the universe
Intergalactic vacation




 

06-14-15 The Song Of The Sky

Listening
To each raindrop
Individually
Like voices
Speaking
In conversation
Cheering out
In a chorus
Of millions
Splashing
Wet music
Crackling
Chattering
Pitter pattering
Singing
The sky's song






   

06-13-15 Magic Forest Dwellers

You can find us
Hiding out quietly
Deep in the woods
Underneath a buttercup
Making friends
With little creatures
Dreaming about clouds
Riding on a rainbow
Through the garden





   

06-12-15 Knowing When We're Glowing

Keep the flow going
When the winds are blowing
The skies outside are snowing
Where their underwear is showing
Their bank accounts are really growing




    

06-11-15 Paradise Punchline

Deliver the joke
With a huge punch
Calm like a palm tree




 

06-10-15 Human Meltdown Masterpiece

golden paint brush strokes
swooosh across the canvas
swirling around inside silver
washed out within colors turning
black dotted with red droplets
little bits of blue sky sprinkled
inside an evolving expression
splattered out for all to see





   

06-09-15 Underground Messages

That's the end
Of another
Long road

Ten million
Cash reward
Corruption

Another revolution
Is quietly brewing
In the shadows

Save the planet
From pollution
Extinction

Work hard
For a brighter
Future tomorrow

Never trust
Giant dinosaurs
To babysit

Mild comfortable
Warm breezes
Fresh air sunshine

Space astronauts
Traveling across
A new galaxy

Enlightened
Knowledge
Redemption

Walking across
An old bridge
To nowhere

Before getting
A nod of approval
For immortality






 

06-08-15 Sci Fi Haiku

Lost in the darkness
Hunted by a strange creature
Running for your life




 

06-07-15 Code Green

Recycled success deconstructed
Great contributions to the community
Dissected moments disassembled
Crushed velvet curtains opened up

Push the doors down around you
Kiss the computer screen goodbye
Insane ideas do not come easily
Misunderstood differences are unique

Marquee match up on Seventh Avenue
The garden grows thick in midtown
People hustle past taxi cabs speeding
Their eyes can see everything all at once






   

06-06-15 This Is A Special Bulletin

Rescue at sea in the sun
Raccoons on the run
Stormy Monday ahead
Prison break lockdown
Tragic fire in the morning
Politics are out of control
Rent regulations extended
Traffic jams on a holiday
Rising prices triple cripple
Outer space mission success
Lottery winners revealed
A busy day in local sports




 

06-05-15 Collapse And Rebuild

The roof fell down
When the walls
Were caving in

Dig yourself out
Live to fight again
Another day

Build a stronger house
With a solid foundation
Live happily ever after





   

06-04-15 Ghost Alien Poem

strange lights                                 in the fog

                        crystal colors shine

beyond         the             spirit             realm

            to infinity                         floating      in   the    heavens     above

                                mysterious            voices

             in           fire              we          worship         the dawn alive


a thirst for blood                     eerie mischief                  hidden in shadows


     evil eyes                bad energy                  horror       fear


                           it haunts this place


for eternity                    roaming              through         time

               passing          into       your           soul

fading away

                                                        for eternity
