03-31-15 Midtown Reflections

Raindrops in puddles
On Fifth Avenue sparkle
Reflecting upon bright lights
The Empire State Building

People don't care at all
As they scurry past fast like rats
Trapped inside their own worlds
While the heart of the city beats

Reservations at another restaurant
Taxi ride home after a long night out
Bagels and coffee in the morning
Madison Square Garden show time

03-30-15 Sleeping On The Nursery Floor

Lying down on the floor
In the nursery at nap time
Breathing softly in slow motion
Trying not to wake up the baby

Looking up at the bars on the crib
Cartoon animals all over the walls
Counting sheep into sweet dreams
Sleeping quietly on the nursery floor

03-29-15 This Is What Champions Are Made From

Down for the count
A seasoned veteran
Stuck in a steel cage
Bleeding and bruised
Last ditch effort attempted
Avoiding a disqualification
Relentless in hot pursuit
Perfection is the expectation
Trying to even up the score
On the wrong side of town
Lusting after the major money
Bombed out into submission
Beat up and knocked around
Pandemonium breaking loose
Overcoming all the obstacles
Pushing past all the challenges
Digging way down deep inside
To survive the onslaught of pain
Rising to the top of the mountain
Ascending to the world championship

03-28-15 Treasure Hunter's Paradise

Hunt down the jewels
So colorful in the crown
Obsession with possession
Thrilling negotiations on fire
Better deals are a great feeling
Add another holy grail to the vault

03-27-15 In Memory Of Aunt Diana

This candle burns
On a quiet night
As a tribute to you

Soft flame flicker
Dancing in shadows
Bathing in warmth

Golden glow of angels
Singing your song in the sky
Now it's your time to shine

May the light guide you
To your next destination
We will miss you here

03-26-15 Moondrops Of Rainlight

Steal the hunger scene
Drops off the planet
A fresh bag of cookies
Hot chocolate breakfast
Drive across town now
On the road forever strong
This was not an accident
Failed the initial inspection
Flying across Mars on air

03-25-15 Popcorn Apocalypse

Salty Crunch
In Fluffy Bunches
Fresh From The Kettle
Straight To The Movie Theater
Where I Stuff My Face With It
Before The Coming Attractions

03-23-15 Waiting For The Phone Call

So far away from yesterday
While facing forever right now
You are there and I am stuck here
You are still here not everywhere yet

Now I'm getting ready to say goodbye
Preparing to spend the rest of my life
Without having you around anymore
Not ready to spend my days missing you

03-22-15 Plugged In To The Electric Mother

Waking up in the garden
Learning to live on my own
Beautiful musical explorations
Through an infinite universe
Sonic fireworks sparkling alive
Penetrating deep into my soul
Thousands of flowers blooming
Brilliant thoughts shining bright
Positive energy flowing eternally
We captured it in that moment

03-21-15 Finding Peace In The Neighborhood

Evening madness takes hold
Breezes blow familiar scents
Earlier than usual this time
Screaming out loud at nothing

Old car driving around town
Kids playing ball in the street
Good food for lunch tomorrow
Feeding the flames with fuel

Taking a quiet walk after dinner
Crickets chirping in the night time
The silence is louder than noise
Reflecting for another day forever

03-20-15 Golden Angels Swirling In Sunshine

crawling across the floor
staring down the long hallway
into the shadows of darkness
searching for illumination

Friday night snowstorm
with a broken heart regardless
in a spiritual way on sad Saturday
sweeping up expensive teardrops

03-19-15 Purple Sky Wild Raspberry Morning

Woke up dreaming
About a fresh new dawn
Birds singing their overture
First rays of early sunshine
Dim light soothing the sky
Coffee is brewing hot steam
Morning news on the radio
Looking ahead at the day
Gazing beyond the horizon
Let's leave yesterday behind

03-18-15 Down In The Dirt

Kicking and screaming
All the way to the bank
Back from the last place
We came to fight the army
At the shopping malls
On the chopping block
Chipping your tooth again
There is a tingling in my arm
It's time to hide away tomorrow

03-17-15 Our Pot Of Gold

Chain reaction crash
Sinkhole smash

Music plays crazy
On parade today

Rapturous experiences
Improvise in the moment

Sunshine outside smiles
Illumination in brightness

03-16-15 Deep Breaths Of Fresh Air

unexpected consequences
expressing honest emotions
blowing off some serious steam
under pressure ready to explode

lend a helping hand to someone
put your heart to work for good
save the whales and feed the hungry
for the price of a cup of coffee

03-15-15 Paradise Pastoral Poem

Now I've seen everything
Dreaming of a quiet place
So far away from the rage
So far away from this city

Dreaming in fields of buttercups
Blowing blades of green grass
In warm winds of timelessness
White clouds float in blue skies

Nothing can take us away
From the feeling of this place
Locked deep inside our hearts
Where we will be relaxed forever

03-14-15 I Don't Remember Anything

Dinner plans on Friday
Yes it's a big freaking deal 
Remarkable rise in status
King of the nerds is in control

I used to get beat up a lot
When I was a little kid
And I never ever forgot
The pain I endured

Insane creatures under the moon 
Blind spot backstabber blindside
This was the decision for some reason
I only want to go to sleep and forget it

03-13-15 Pondering Thirteen Enigmas

The key
to solving
the mystery
of the riddle
is locked
inside the
answer

The question
asked once
must always
return to
the first part
of the third
chapter

This adventure
lies behind
the road traveled
left right
to be enlightened
on the path toward
finding the journey

03-12-15 Peanut Butter And Jelly Face

Peanut butter and jelly
All over your face
The official food
Of childhood

A glass of milk
Spilled all on the floor
We cried over it together
Even though they told us not to

03-11-15 A Speck Of Dust In The Universe

It's awesome to be here
On this incredible doomed planet
Riding on subway trains for fun
Driving fast cars far on the road

Swimming in the ocean underwater
Skydiving in a free fall out of a plane
Running free across the countryside
Dancing on tables at a hot new venue

Sleeping late on Sunday morning
After staying up all night on Saturday
Eating White Castle burgers for breakfast
Watching old movies on television

This can't be all there is to it

03-10-15 Magic Children

sound the bells
fly into the stars
catch a snowflake
make a special wish
sing your own song
slide across rainbows
touch the heart of joy
talk to sweet angels
swim across the sky
believe in miracles

03-09-15 Fragile Life So Delicate

The battle is real every day
The grip of pain holds on tight
Tomorrow is an uncertain gift
It can all fall apart immediately

There is hope
A light shines
Out to you
From the other side

Hold on
Don't give up
Stay with me
Don't give up

03-08-15 Snapshots Of The City Summer

pause to freeze
in the frame
close up shot
tight developed

capture the rapture
happening tonight
after the sun party
down at the shore

hot dogs on the corner
comic books on Saturday
running around Central Park
then we'll head to the Plaza

03-07-15 Escape Inside A Sci-Fi Convention

Personal love of science fiction
Movies expanding imagination
Learning to explore the universe
Collecting fantasy action figures
From childhood into the future
Hunting the toy you always wanted
It's fun to be young in your heart

03-06-15 Stuck In This Century

Light up the night
Levitate above the crowd
Emergency landing control
Miracle to be alive

Act fast against time
Weather worn and frayed
Still standing after the wars
Ready for the future

03-05-15 Listen To The Music Of The Universe

you don't have to feel alone
we are all pretty crazy together
melting into a puddle of thoughts

worms inside my brains
are quite different than
the worms inside my mind

slow jams flowing from destiny
happy to be alive safe and sound
shock and alarm inside you

happy little accident scheme
drawing pictures in the dark
start smooth in the morning

happy news for sad people
mass hysteria is all the rage
none of us are ever leaving

they have grown close to nature
heavyweight fight in the ring
lions will eat you alive tonight

twisted flip under cover up
plan to fight those tickets
the same scene covered in green

it was tough around here today
airplane slide right off the runway
cash money crash into tomorrow

03-04-15 Kids Today

Have no faith
in a future
they will never see
so why even try

The world will end
long before
they get their chance
to screw it all up

03-03-15 Pop Art Destruction Machine

Cross culture return trip
Postage paid in another way
Around the world flying high
Nicest piece of art in town
Sold your soul to the devil
It wasn't a cheap proposition
Immaculate mint condition
Fresh from the fun factory
Survived the long journey
Only to be destroyed at home

03-02-15 Sugar Sweet Evil

Cookies for breakfast
Watching cartoons together
Bright lights shining down
Push the limitations of power

Hang down on the candy train
Shocked by the trash machine
Survival in spite of bad weather
Find a warm spot and stay there

03-01-15 Show Biz Tragedy

Sit right back
Enjoy the show
Live on stage

That big old
Television set
In the living room

Sensational stories
Exciting programs
Entertainment songs

Drums rumble
Performers scramble
Airwaves crackle

Drunk on celebrity
Fame and fortune flow
The roar of the crowd

Evil all around town
Going down faster alone
Nobody hears you scream

Luxurious glamour
Bone chilling destruction
Ugly until the end

Darkness hides
Diamonds outside
Sickness inside

Spotlight shines bright
The money is insane
It's a lonesome life
