02-28-15 Let's Have Lunch At Wo Hop

That's the place
where I get my breakfast
on those cold mornings
when I have to be
at the court house early

We can go to Wo Hop
for lunch before we go
back home since it's only
a short walk from the
court house downtown

Hot wonton soup
steamed dumplings
egg rolls rice chicken
dipping crunchy noodles
shrimp with oyster sauce

Best service in town
delicious menu
large portions
inexpensive prices
open all the time




   

02-27-15 In Search Of

Nimoy investigates

Ghosts in the old castle

Paranormal phenomenon

Bigfoot creeping through the woods

Nessie splashing around in Loch Ness

Spiritual powers and mind control

Missing persons dead or alive

Lost in the city of Atlantis

Fly away in a UFO 

     

02-26-15 Extraterrestrial Love

A new alien invasion
From outer space
Or inner Earth

They're coming
To take us away
To their planet

They're coming
To breed with us
To create life

They're coming
To have us for dinner
To eat us alive





   

02-25-15 Someday I Will Lose You

The phone rings
My heart sinks
Waiting for
The call

The line has been disconnected

Someday I will
Lose you
I will always
Love you





 

02-24-15 Living A Leap Of Faith

Sometimes the signs are clear
But sometimes they're hard to find
We continue down the road regardless
And try to fly blindly into the future




   

02-23-15 Old Country Farmhouse

Slowly turning
Under the hot sun
Every single day
In the afternoon
To cultivate food

Ten generations
Grew up in this house
Walls thick with paint
Stained with layers
Of golden memories

A bank owns it now
The broken roof leaks
The wood floors creak
It will be bulldozed anyway
To make room for condominiums





   

02-22-15 Manhattan Freeze Machine

This city is beautiful
In the frozen winter

Slippery sidewalks
Snowy slow motion
Slick streets still alive
Silent traffic lights change

Chilly evening downtown
Freeze me out in the cold





   

02-21-15 Winterland Fairytales

Snow top smokey mountain
Ancient birds soar the skies
Winter music wind softly blows
A sweet frosty melody out loud
Like living in the land of ice cream
Chipping ice off my windshield
Forgot my gloves in the morning
Air so cold my teeth all hurt
Frozen to the bone without heat
A steaming hot coffee hit the spot




 

02-20-15 Cycles Of Sunshine

Those incredible sunsets
Melt into the crisp skyline
They never seemed so real
They'll never be the same
We'll never see them again

Stay up all night
Gazing at the stars
Take a deep breath
Make a wish

Those amazing sunrises
Burst across the great horizon
They never felt so real
They'll never be the same
We'll see them again someday

02-18-15 Messages Inside Your Brain

Call the shots
Straight up

Truth is open
To interpretation

The content
Is meaningful

Blink twice
You missed it

Shining bright
Under the surface

The content
Is meaningless

It's all about
Branding




 

02-17-15 Painting Colors All Over The Walls

Blue cartoon skies
Running away from life
Hitch a ride on a shooting star

Animals on parade
Escaping from their cages
Wild panic in the city streets

Heroes save the day
Rescuing innocent citizens
Making this world a better place





   

02-16-15 Space Travelers On The Run

Spiders in your eyes
Enough of the lies
Freedom of the mind
Sleep for a million years

Days and weeks have no end
Ships slip on frozen water
Start up the engines again
We're going back home




 

02-15-15 Sentimental Memories

free to say goodbye
escape from the cold
drank a few more beers
crazy in the morning

those old friends we lost
makes me smile when I remember
an incredible journey forward
setting an exit time strategy

don't worry about anything
let the waters run dry outside
sit out on the front steps watching
life passes by so quickly




   

02-14-15 You Have My Heart

The feelings go deep
Inside my DNA
Where emotions are heavy
From unbreakable bonds

Sweet memories of good times
Laughs we shared echo forever
Dancing to those great old songs
Smiles shine brighter than the stars

The blood runs in my veins
Stronger with each passing day
My love grows more and more
So lucky that I share my life with you






   

02-13-15 Winter Weather Nightmare

Temperatures drop severely
Frigid cold frozen to the core
Blasted with crisp icy winds
Broken rails in the subways

Snow storm blowing through
A deep chill kills any sign of life
Dig your car out chipping away
Plows push through the city streets





   

02-12-15 Famous Fried Chicken Poem

Lick that chicken
Right off the bone
So juicy and tender
Yet crispy outside

Herbs and spices
Entice us with flavor
Smells like home cooking
In Momma's kitchen




   

02-11-15 Neighborhood Secrets Exposed

Population
overload
in this town

Bumping
around
on the subways

Breeding
like wild
diseased vermin

Living
off piles
of toxic garbage

Exploring
dark tunnels
in a labyrinth

Finding
enlightenment
underground





   

02-10-15 Enchanted Infinities

Slow jams posted
Radio message brain freeze
Exposed to the disease

We still have fight in us
Revolution is on the way
It's going to rain today

Alternate futures in the past
Broken bonds of impossible life
Liquid gas in a solid state

Vanished into thin air
Imagination becomes reality
Magic is the key to eternity





   

02-09-15 Cartoon Freak Out Funhouse

Oceans of creamy root beer
Floating along in Sugarland
Sweeter than chocolate syrup

Sitting on the floor
Playing with toys
Watching cartoons
On Saturday morning

Cold pizza potato chips
Secretly breaking the rules
Getting away with it all




   

02-08-15 Frosty Freeze In The City

Blue flames of winter fury
Cold ice strong gusts blowing
Snow bomb frostbite fireballs
Heavy delays on the subways

Chilled to the bone outside
Slippery steps are a dangerous slide
Hot coffee steaming cup in hand
Goes down smooth and warm




   

02-07-15 Cashing In Your Rewards

Work so hard
Day after day
Climbing mountains
Push to the top
Survive the slaughter
Saving those earnings
Get ahead in the world
Let the hunger burn
Invest aggressively
Fight kill love drive
Keep yourself alive

02-06-15 Save The Day

Saving the world
Is not as easy
As it looks

A series
Of odd
Misfortunes

And the
Shining smile
That never ends




 

02-05-15 Ghosts Of New York City

As we wind through the sidewalks
We pass by millions of strangers
Some appear stranger than others
I'm not so sure I recognize anyone anymore
But the ones I miss the most
Are the characters we left behind
I can see them now through teary eyes

Andy Warhol holding court at Max's Kansas City
Jimi Hendrix jamming after hours at The Scene
Janis Joplin dancing around the bar at El Quixote
Jack Kerouac stumbling through the White Horse Tavern

Those days are long gone
But the spirit lives on




   

02-04-15 Keys To The Magic Kingdom

Unbreakable bravery
Spirit in the air on fire
Rock festival electricity
Hot power production
Irrelevant information
Decoded messages opened
Secrets revealed from beyond
Frozen in another time frame
Double dipped in the morning
Discover a new universe rising





   

02-03-15 When The Robots Took Over The World

We got back in our spaceship
And set our course for the moon
But it was too late when we arrived
The robots had destroyed our ship

We spent the rest of our lives in slavery
Until the robots had no use for us anymore
Then we were all eliminated without cause
Now humans are extinct and the robots rule





   

02-02-15 Today's Hot Stove Report

Tires screeeeeeeeching
Rubber burning
Cars parking
Out on the street
After a huge storm
In subzero temperatures
Everything is frosted over
Between big piles of snow
Coated in a thick sheet of ice
While I watch from my window
Warming my hands on the hot stove
Wishing it was baseball season already





   

02-01-15 Golden Wings Of Fire

Hot steam rising
Mouth watering
Soaked in sauce
Crispy on the outside
Juicy on the inside
Meat drips off the bone
