06-30-16 Reflections On Expressions

Surfing supersonic waves

Splashing in green laser beams

Locked into the eternal struggle

Colorful imagination comes alive

Delicate sounds of illumination

Brighten up your days on a high note

Morphing into a deep dark dirty hole

Spiraling into endless oblivion

Kiss the spell of magic fire 

Lick the soft skin of creativity

Express your soul in the sky

Artistic explosions in your heart

06-29-16 The Passion Of Liberty

Reach for the new wave
Another way to live fast
Stuck in slow motion video
Under the electric sunshine

Fireworks in the night sky
Music echoes in the streets
Old brick buildings crumble
While the kids dance and sing

Remember the joyous feeling
Let it flow from inside you
Your heart is full of light
Another reason to smile

Wild ride through town
Philadelphia freedom train
Seek out positive energies
Then spread it all around

06-28-16 Cookies In The Bathtub

Birthday gift
In my mailbox
And I don't know
What it is

When I got home
I opened the box
And I saw a superhero doll
It was exactly what I wanted

Then it turned into Christmas
So we went to the beach
We saw a flying man in the sky
Then we saw TV in the sand
And there was a sandcastle
Sitting on somebody's head

We all had Christmas cookies

06-27-16 Midtown In Motion

Traffic continues to flow
Down Fifth Avenue all day
Racing into tomorrow's future
Love pushes all the buttons

Hipsters hustle in the morning
Fast talkers rushing late to work
Fire engine red sirens screaming
Symphony of city sounds singing

Famous footsteps on the block
Walking with ghosts of greatness
Capture the spirit of revolution
To create beautiful artwork

06-26-16 If I Had Stayed Silent

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
heard my voice

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
received my message

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
changed your mind

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
changed the world

06-25-16 Thirteen Secret Codes

Bring your dreams to life

Daylight comes too soon

Drink the electric Kool Aid

Wake up before the dawn

Discover ancient pyramids

Flying saucers coast overhead

Sasquatch hiding in the woods

Sea monsters splashing around

A boost of universal energies

Harness the powers of existence 

Ancient mysteries uncovered

Secrets evolve into the truth

Our destiny is set into motion

06-24-16 Psychedelic Radiation

I land on an island
To escape the city

Country lemonade
Political recreation

Revolution revolving
Evolving evolution

Involving pollution
Prostitution or institution

Mushrooms make it spicy
Interesting visualization

Pink ponies try trotting
On Stoney Ridge Road

I'm in love with a mountain
Heartbroken and excited

Look into the forest
Deep into your eyes

Don't forget to lose
My number gun

Fun sunshine syrup
Stories on the highway

Hungry for affection
Reflection in the pool

Mirror mirror melting
Faces stolen in molten lava

Swirling in sterling silver
Diamonds in your soul

Blood in the newspaper
Read between the lions

Reading dirty magazines
Appreciate the art of comics

Cartoon hallucinations
On a trip to inner space

Recipe to rule your brain
Listen to the music play

06-23-16 Serpents In Your Home

Slippery snake

In through the exit

Moving slowly 

Then the attack

Hide in the grass

Slip into shadows

Seduce with a smile

Hidden agenda

The face of evil

Burning yellow eyes

Rattle in the distance

Can't trust a murderer

Best hand forward

Shake the skin back

The bite is worse

Venom kills quickly

06-22-16 Disconnected Connections

Above just another time
When we couldn't resist
The tension that had grown
Between the connection
And disconnected spaces
Which roam free in the web
Poisoning the heart of minds

The dangers are real today
When you shop around town
Between the bedroom sheets
And disconnected spirituality
On the road to self awareness
Where flying fish are landing
Inside visual display screens

It's all over the internet today
They sold your dirty pictures
Now you'll never be real again
When the news hits the streets
Between broken bonds of love
And disconnected emotions
Beyond the boundaries of life

06-21-16 Underground Darkness

into the tunnels
way down deep
below the streets

where monsters lurk
shadows grow stronger
in complete darkness

06-20-16 Playing With My Son At The Park

Walking in the sunshine
Holding your little hand
On our way to the park
To play ball together
Running around laughing
In beautiful green fields

06-19-16 Kids In Space

Floating in space
Surfing the stars
Playing in the yard
On our trip to the moon

Astronaut explorers
In the final frontier
Dancing on Jupiter
Fly away with you

Zero gravity adventure
Meeting little green men
Riding the tail of a comet
On a sunny day in the universe

06-18-16 Nap Time Daydream

Working hard all morning
Lifting up large walls of brick
Pushing all available strength
Mighty powerful explosion

The root cause of mayhem
Is misfired primal passion
Misguided in the wrong place
I wish we could go back again

Drink another cold lemonade
Mild sweat on the skin's surface
Hot summertime sunshine sting
Light makes you feel alive

Listening to undecided voices
Split open in another direction
Fire the missle in the middle
Fall asleep in the afternoon shade

06-17-16 The Red Wine Diaries

Scrambled brains in the morning
Red wine for breakfast all afternoon
Walk through the park on your way
Talk to the animals at the city zoo

Don't tell me you don't love this
Don't you want to try some more
It's all my fault at the end of the day
Open another bottle of red wine now

Wake up screaming after midnight
Turns out it wasn't a nightmare anyway
Sleeping anywhere at any time tomorrow
Can't remember yesterday or five days ago

Paranoid about the private eyes watching
Hiding out in plain sight at the public library
Reading books as if life depended on it
Then spill a bottle of red wine all over

Last ditch attempt to save a lost soul
Damage control at the final hour of time
Blurred lines between red wine and blood
This is no way to go through life

06-16-16 Back To Nature

head space
in a quiet place
far away from cars
far away from people

breathe in the trees
walk in the rain
swim in the air
sleep in the grass

out in the green forest
peaceful in deep woods
balanced with the planet
blending into the wilderness

06-15-16 Power Of Music

My wish
would be
that instead
of picking up
machine guns
people would
pick up
electric guitars

The power
of music
can affect
more people
than the power
of violence

06-14-16 Sitting On Sexy Furniture

midnight Monday
full moon on the prowl
rose rising clothesline
earthquake milkshake

glitter business family
dancing into the past tense
in a penthouse apartment
high above the city below

nothing but net on a jet
swift decision throwing up
sweet candy dish growing up
out at the ballpark on Sunday

champagne popping warriors
spraying money all over you
spilling the dark secret news
or pretend that it never happened

06-13-16 Dark Side Haiku

Demons inside you
Thirsting for evil vengeance
Ready to break free

06-12-16 Wildfire

judgement
is coming
you will need
to pick a side

good or evil
light or dark
love or hate
right or wrong

find your spirituality
hold on tight to your faith
find the spark inside your heart
and let it spread like wildfire

06-11-16 Something Out Of Nothing

heart beat
race
pulse pounding
from within
the enemy
among us
to prosper in time
against the flow
of energy
 moving slowly
going down
when the face
melts everywhere
serendipitous
for destiny
beyond the gold
on the road
licking salt wounds
while driving home
  call it all back
cattle drive up above
the fields are alive
with the sounds
of salvation
  flying like an angel
invading your life
for a short time
while making
an incredible impact
that will last forever

06-10-16 Double Heart Punch

We spend
the first
half of
our lives
making friends
and falling in love

We spend
the second
half of
our lives
losing friends
and feeling the pain

06-09-16 Seven Seas

Capture the incredible energy

Cultivate a great environment

Create a vibe of instant invincibility

Challenge the standard description

Collect experiences for a living

Clean up the planet for tomorrow

Clown around and crush the groove

06-08-16 Lost Poet

lost another poetry slam
drank too much and fell asleep
forgot to remember all that stuff
nothing to write about

along another open road
burning messages in a fire pit
won't let it grow for too long
seeking knowledge is not enough

work at it as hard as you can
don't ever stop creating dreams
never give up when you fail
rise up strong and live to write again

06-07-16 Late Show At The Old Fillmore

Electric infinity visits us here

For a brief flash if you catch it

Sucked inside an energy vortex 

Into the center of the universe 

Voices singing for eternity

Songs playing in the old style

Imagination is the only ticket

Sounds still echo in a chorus

Immortal warriors on stage

Digging the vibe of the moment

Light show visions tickle your mind

So much to see right in front of me

Best seats in the house for the show

Legends create misty masterpieces

Old psychedelic jazz musicians

This place is haunted by ghosts

06-06-16 The Owl Knows

The wise old owl
Watches time pass
As seasons change
Cycles of life revolve

The wise old owl knows
He watched your father grow
He's been watching you too
Since the day you were born

06-05-16 Birthplace Of Urban Decay

spray paint on the wall
it all happened on the ramp
on the roof of the garage
ghosts appear like a mirage

06-04-16 Rope A Dope

The art of the fight
A poet in a slaughterhouse
Find the right words
To destroy with grace

A flurry of fury pummeling
Punches from every direction
Slow down and wait for the moment
Then attack with everything you've got

Battle for what you believe in
Recite poetry to your opponents
Knock down the walls in your way
Sting like a bee but float like a butterfly

06-03-16 Rainy Midtown Morning

rainy midtown morning rush
taxi cabs splashing through puddles
umbrellas of all different colors
broken bottle glass on the sidewalk

heavy rains explode into a downpour
people soaked scatter in the streets
seeking shelter under some scaffolding
this city needed a good wash out today

06-02-16 Silence In The City

Tasting violence
Finding the science
Behind silence

Or

The art of being
Left alone
In New York City

Instead of always running
From the punks who are gunning
To take you down and push ahead

Sirens wailing car alarms blasting
Garbage trucks slamming steel
Crash bang boom boom bang crash

Help me find a quiet place
To reflect upon my thoughts
To hear the music in my heart

06-01-16 Vampire Seduction

Soft spoken eyes
Hypnotized
In shadows
Under a spell

Passionate kiss
Romantic bliss
Say good night
Then a bite

Licking wounds
Sucking blood
Go to sleep
Live for eternity
