01-31-17 There When You Need Me

There are times
When life gets tough
And the world
Won't give you a break

But I will always
Be there for you
To dry your tears
And give you a hug

Sweet puppy
Good doggie
Here's a treat

Spending our days floating by

Inside your thoughts 

Where my words echo 

Throughout your life 

Straight from my pen

Into your eternal heart 

01-25-17 Future Vultures

Lullabies for breakfast
Enlightened in the ancient dawn
Salvation will restore our power
Freedom in the western world

So much silliness going around
It's ok to feel scared right now
June winds are blowing colder
We will be electrified in the future

01-24-17 Late For Work Again

Fast asleep 

Wake up early 

Take a shower 

Get dressed 

Brush teeth

Lock the door 

Race down stairs 

Run to the subway 

Wait for a train

Try to find a seat

Go into the city

Grab a cup of coffee

Hustle to the office 

Stumble to the door 

Forgot the keys at home

01-23-17 For A Rainy Day

Sleeping quietly
Under warm blankets
Dreaming sweetly

Rains pour down
Rat tat tat on windows
Crackling skies outside

Peaceful stillness
Safe from the storm
One with the universe

A great day for art
Forget the weather
Stay alive inside

01-22-17 Storm On My Mind

Waiting for the storm
Seeking shelter at home
Restful thinking in mind
Hide from the local demons

Stocked up on chicken soup
Save water for emergencies
Dream about the sunshine
Wait until it's safe to return

01-21-17 Get Out Of The House

Discover a new world
Learn another skill set
Find a hidden treasure
Catch a rising star tonight

Walk in legendary footsteps
Work on fresh pieces of art
Meet interesting neighbors
Have exciting experiences

01-20-17 Ghosts From Beyond The Moon

Ghosts beyond the moon
Waiting until June afternoons
Surfing in a cartoon typhoon
Creature from the black lagoon

Indoctrination on the other side
Striking a cool comet glow alone
On the telephone in an elevator
Complete with a blade and a smile

Blind extraterrestrials are coming
Time traveling space cadets spin in orbit
Chasing big green monsters from Saturn
Sucked through a black hole into nothing

01-19-17 Another Hundred Years

In another hundred years
The sun will still be shining

In another hundred years
Elephants may be extinct

In another hundred years
The oceans will rule the planet

In another hundred years
None of this will even matter

01-18-17 Morning Dew Haiku

One tiny dewdrop
Resting on a sweet tea leaf
In the morning sun

01-17-17 Crazy Nights In Our Secret Hideaway

A warm light shines
In a blizzard of darkness
Spin an underground  buzz
Awakened spiritually clean

Red hot lava excitement
Popping firecrackers alive
Jamming to endless music
Rise up to another level

Dance party bodies grooving
Moving under flashing lights
Smoke screen lost wet kisses
Talk of the town tomorrow

Vibrations cling to eternity
Ghosts of late night legends
Pieces of yesterday's stories
Stumble out into the sunrise

01-16-17 When All The Walls Fall

When the walls fall
Down all around us
I won't leave town
I will stick around
To help you clean
And pick up the pieces

Yellow taxi cab lights
Like a million full moons
Racing against the clock
Moving upstream faster
Through hot steam clouds
Rising from the underground

01-14-17 The Old Wizard's Code

Broken lightning heart rod
Hot jump into overdrive live
Dead trip wrap tight birthday
Slash the traffic nightmares

Dirty ocean extinction curse
Air pollution lung cancer smoke
Check the electric test machine
Static shock trap rest stop destiny

Leave the message intact for others
Run as far away from here as you can
You will need to trust your neighbors
Life will be hard once the cities collapse

Elevator love button triangle
Riddle in the end of the movie
Fight the war in space all year
Then fly off into the sunset

01-13-17 Winter Warmer

snowstorm blowing outside
under a warm blanket together
watching bad movies on television
eating tons of junk food for lunch
hot chocolate delight on a cold night

01-12-17 Jungle Kiss

Survive in the swamp
The alligators are restless
Fresh meat is always waiting
Climbing trees with good intentions

Swimming in the darkest muddy waters
Thick fog rolls on across the jungle
Piranhas circle around your face
They will never find a trace

01-11-17 Radical Radio

Tight squeeze of the snake

Earthquakes everywhere

Let them rule
In radiation

Clear violation
Of our freedoms

And the blind fools
Who eat their lies
To buy their time
Die the first deaths
When the virus hits

But there will be sun
On the other side
We will stand tall
Hand in hand in hand

01-10-17 Elements Of Elephants

Face the eyes that made you
Sparkle in the western winds
Farewell to the glories before
Through the end we will dance

Balloons up above angels sing
Killing kisses with garlic vampires
Boiling point at the top of the pops
Open your heart to the light of love

01-09-17 Subway Morning Meltdown

Take a bite out of the apple
Cash back for every dollar

Stand up for what you believe in
Stand up for those who can't stand

Evil is here
Make no mistake
But goodness is better
Don't mess with the good guys

Don't stop believing

Through laser beams
In fog machines dreaming
About what it would be like
To be a human being

Luck of the draw
Choose your destiny

Upon a star
Your dreams
Will come true

Here we are
Upon a star
Intergalacticly
In this moment

01-04-17 Escape From Golden Spotlights

Sinkhole moon pie stink eye
Mumble in a stumble jungle
Noon day sun zone clown
No doze special at night school

Toothless witch pin curses
Stand behind what you believe
Super soda soaker in cool mint
Melt your face away in stardust

01-03-17 Ancient Artifacts

Broken knowledge in the pit
Fractured pieces of history
Scratching below the surface
Relics from voices of silence

Energy from centuries ago
Contained inside ancient relics
Unleashed upon the universe
The curse has now been unlocked

01-02-17 Unexpected Consequences

Last night after the ball dropped
The pictures told all the stories
In the master plan of the universe
Sparkling inside a cloud of glitter

Familiar faces shifting glass glances
Next stop at the drop of a hat flattered
Next step backwards away from here
It didn't turn out the way you planned

Still affected for the rest of all eternity
I will be here waiting for you tomorrow
When the world sends your first curveball
I will lend you a hand or a shoulder to cry on

01-01-17 Ghosts Of Madison Square Garden

spirit roaming free
always alive at MSG
deep in the catacombs
down in the tunnels
old rock shows echo
vibrations from yesterday
bouncing off the walls
screaming our anthem
electric on a classic evening
when they broke the record
the music played all night
our souls became energized
