#2565 Blue Electric Skies

We saw the light
in Queens last night

Starry skies
turned shocking blue

Alien spacecraft
descending from clouds

Heavens above us
Hell below us

Electrical fire
transformer explosion

Con Ed says
It's under control

#2564 Time Travelers On Twenty Third

We met yet again
In this very same spot
Once before in good times

Angels on the streets
Frozen inside old moments
Left behind another golden sunset

Real magic powers
Vibrating through vintage buildings
You can feel the excitement in the air

Then one day
I came back to find
All the wizards were gone

The Chelsea Hotel was closed
Our favorite haunts were empty
I turned around and walked away

#2563 Blinded Minds

Speak your voice away
To the corporate warriors
Who aim to steal your thoughts
To transform us into animals
To capture our souls to sell off
Before the brainwashed minds
Become blinded by numbness

We cannot let them win

#2562 Nothing But Ashes

Ashes fall like snowflakes
As the fires burn slowly

Our homes are all gone
But our memories live on

#2561 Peppermint Smile

Taste the power
Sticky sweet heat
Wintergreen fresh
Breathe cool air

Learn about life
Travel down the road
Eat all the best food
Kiss the pretty people

Show your face
Flow with the story
What you can't hide
Won't hurt a bit

#2560 Frozen Heat

Enjoy
the rest
of this
gorgeous
freezing sun

You will
miss it all
when we
plunge into
hot darkness

11-08-18 Soul Blender

Waiting for the luck to charm
Inside your head of heart robots
On a tropical island of edible love
Lost inside a smell storm rainbow

You will never forget the feelings
The past shall never forget the future
Fake cookie pies in a simple jungle
Out of the oven and into the office

Blessings blown into another sunset
Like prayers from a forgotten fairytale
Angels singing in sound byte samples
Damp flowers will rise to the occasion

11-07-18 Travelers Hidden In Time

Quiet on the inside

Under a blanket of darkness

Nothing ever changes here
Yet time keeps on passing
Still we are frozen in place

to take us home

11-05-18 Getting The Engine Started

Hard to get started

Without coffee 

In the morning

To stay in bed 

Dig down deep 

Drag your bones 

Across the floor 

Believe in love

Take a sip of coffee 

Then hustle out the door

Beyond your screen
Beyond your keyboard

Find your self in these streets

But beautiful here right now

Reading books in seclusion

A revelation has emerged from beyond
Enlightenment comes in strange forms

Smile again for the last time

Machine guns in your mind
Bombs inside your heart
Bullets in your blood
Teardrops in our eyes

You might shoot us down

And our voices will be loud

We might never achieve peace
We might never stop the violence
But that doesn't mean we'll give up
We will never surrender our hope

I left this here

Take over the world in a tidal wave

10-15-18 Spaceman In Town

Future raindrops will remember
The nights we spent daydreaming
About rainbows and civil warfare
In modern times rewinding life

The full moon was our mothership
Flying blind into the cool universe
Spiraling out of control into chaos
Landing at a coffee shop near you

10-14-18 Next Time

It's hard to believe
there won't be a

But this time
there will be no
next time

Ghosts whispering your name

On the sidewalk
In the evening

Without any food
In the city streets

10-02-18 Ode To A Tin Can

Full of soup
Sitting on a shelf

So I tossed you away
Into a recycling bin
So you might live again

out on the sidewalk
or inside the internet

Because if what you say is true
then your words will speak
for themselves without you

09-27-18 Frankenstein Syndrome

Monsters inside my mind

Destruction of everything all around
When the creature turns on it's creator

09-26-18 The Private Life Of Flowers

Drop down dreamscape
Frowning from frozen charms
Divided into alternate options
Pinching pennies off the ground

Sounding more like church bells

Vampires kissing straight into hell fire
Living in constant pain every single day
Collapsing into the arms of the one you love

Robot rescue team is out sick
Strange underwater angles
Fly away into oblivion

09-19-18 A Poet's Responsibility

It's hard to write poetry
When the world is against you
When life beats you down
When your mind body and soul
Are suffering from exhaustion

It's hard to write poetry
When you are seething with anger
When you're frustrated with life
When you have lost the game
And your well of inspiration is dry

But a poet must push through
To express those difficult feelings
Of hurt and pain and suffering
To let others know that they are not alone
When they experience those feelings too

Change the way you think about life

One fine day
We walked to the park

Giving birth to beauty on display

I'll tell you about it
One day but not today
As I saw it all happen
Through my own eyes

I'll tell you about
The beautiful sunrise
The perfect blue sky
The clean fresh air

I'll tell you about
The loud boom
The orange fireball
The gaping black hole

I'll tell you about
People running
Mothers crying
Birds flying away

I'll tell you about
The second plane
The second tower
The direct hit

I'll tell you about
The buildings collapsing
The huge dust clouds
The smell of burning jet fuel

I'll tell you about
Heroes who gave everything
Neighbors who lost loved ones
Our city that lost so much

I'll tell you about
My long walk home to Queens
And how your grandpa worked
To restore power downtown

I'll tell you about
How we all came together
How we hurt and healed
How we recovered and rebuilt

I'll tell you about it
As I saw it all happen
Through my own eyes
One day but not today

09-07-18 Haunted Sleepover Party

Couldn't sleep last night

my plate

so nice

Then I
forgot
about it
and when
I found it
three weeks
later
I didn't know
what it was

High hopes for the day ahead
Birds rule the blue sky

07-23-18 Summer Intoxication

Purple sunset skies
Green baseball fields
Hot bicycle wheelie races
Melted ice cream sticky fingers

07-22-18 Out Dancing

Dancing through the halls
Spinning around in circles
Connecting with energies
Grooving to the music

Lift up your heart
Open up your soul
Dress up your style
Kick up your heels

07-21-18 Dark Times Calling

Dark days ahead
Black clouds up above
People on the streets

Depression runs deep
Sadness returns again
Tragedies everywhere

Look toward the light
Hope faith charity strength
It's going to get better

07-20-18 Photo Realism

I've taken this picture
In my mind so many times
That it's almost as if
The image has always existed

Now imagination
Has been brought to life
And the photo is more beautiful
Than I ever imagined

07-19-18 Shelter From The Storm

Thunderstorms followed us
Running around all over town
We hopped overflowing puddles
And danced through raindrops

Seeking shelter from the storm
We ducked into an old doorway
Waiting for the heavy rain to pass
And we discovered our love

07-18-18 When Wolves Attack

Go to what you know is right
Don't believe the hype machine

See through lies with X ray eyes
Recognize the truth in disguise

Believe what your instincts tell you
Don't let trolls win the information war

07-17-18 Mind Treasure

Try to find my hidden treasure
Buried deep inside my thoughts
Burning a hole inside my heart
Start to dig but you will never find it

07-16-18 Spirit Of Summer

Dance like fire
Whip your hair
Feel the music
Flowing through you

07-15-18 Let's Go Anywhere

Let's climb a tree barefoot
Then take a nap in the shade
Let's go fishing in the lake
Then eat all the fish we catch

Let's meet downtown for drinks
Then head uptown to catch a show
Let's hop on the subway and go
Then carelessly stroll around town

07-14-18 Capturing A Spark

Searching for inspiration
Inside visual vibrations
Looking for a way out
While trapped awake

Our eyes are broken windows
With light reflections refracted
By our own interpretations of sight
Until our thoughts change the channel

07-13-18 Secrets Of Immortal Souls

Thunderball vacation wreck
Twisted heart strings tangled
Tea leaves tell the truth tomorrow
So long to regenerate new limbs

In limbo timber falls in solitude
Silent revenge on the internet
Photos speak volumes of tall tales
Eat your heart out on the sidewalk

Ghosts are with us at every moment
Time travelers figured it all out loud
Vampires know the best way to rest
Bloodsuckers so good to the last drop

07-12-18 Cool Shade In The Summer

It was hotter this summer
Than it ever was before
But we played it cool

Don't be a fool
Put on your sunglasses
And drink plenty of water

07-11-18 Cosmic Candy

Flying donuts in outer space
Cotton candy clouds raining
Chocolate syrup sprinkles

UFO lollipops surf the skies
Under melting ice cream rainbows
Sweet lemon drops and cherry bombs

Swimming in oceans of orange soda
Let me chew on some licorice whips
Then drop me off at my dentist's office

07-10-18 For What It's Worth

Love is worth fighting for
Freedom is worth protecting
Goodness is worth spreading
Life is worth living

07-09-18 SOS From Outer Space

Our starship is under attack
We have lost all power
The shields are down

We've lost most of our crew
Time is running out
Please send help

07-08-18 Survivor's Message

I'll see you
At the top
Of the mountain
When the war is over
After the fires burn out
And the flood waters recede

If you arrive
Before I get there
Please wait for me
I'll be there soon

And if I never
Make it there
Please know
In your heart
That I tried my best
To get to you and
You were always
My true love

07-07-18 Metallic Paint

Space age colors
Splash it all over
So creativity flows
Stainless steel flowers
Splatter spill still thrill
Sparkling finish

07-06-18 New Things

We love things
And new things
Are the things
We love the most

Fresh from the box
Unwrapped packages
Untouched by hands
So shiny and new

And when new things
Become old things
We go back to the store
To buy more new things

07-05-18 Fancy Fantasies

Freeze dance freestyle
Freedom from french fries
In a fine feeding frenzy
Found in five fountains
Flying into a fresh frost
For the love of fire forever

07-04-18 Early Independence

Sunrise at the sea port
Sitting out on the pier
Writing magical poetry
In a golden notebook
While seagulls swoop
In the blue skies above
Reflecting on windows
Waiting for fireworks

07-03-18 Searching For A Heartbeat

Away for a while
Getting my heart together
Wondering and wandering
To go back home again

07-02-18 Delusions Of Grandeur

Monster gods don't realize
They are human after all
And those super secret powers
Don't last forever either

So when celebrities and politicians
Try to convince you they're above it all
You know that down deep in their hearts
They're as miserable as you are

07-01-18 Cross At The Corner

Walking downtown

Passers by are passing 

Hot sunshine raining 

Colorful cars on parade 

Hold my hand

Cross the street 

Hurry up now

Hustle hustle hustle 

06-30-18 Capture The Summer

Basking in the daylight
Run far away from here
The sun will shine again
Keep it in your back pocket

Fireworks and fireflies
Ice cream on the playground
Sprinklers spraying water
Childhood laughter in the air

06-29-18 Battle For Our Soul

Your heart is full of hate
But there is love in my heart

You can try to tear us apart
But our love is too strong

You try to spread darkness
But our lights shine so bright

You confuse kindness with weakness
But our strength will rise to defeat you

06-28-18 Revisionist History

Going back in time
To change mistakes we made
To right the wrongs against us
While setting into motion
A million alternate realities

Now that the years have passed
And many scenarios have played out
It's plain to see the writing on the wall
Civilization shall fall no matter what
And now we can never go home again

06-27-18 Loneliness Lost In Nothingness

Joyful radiance weeps
for the weekend crew
keeping people cool
joining forces violently

Part of the silent majority
walking away from civility
losing ground in the election
when freedom is still frozen

06-26-18 Fight Against Fear

Fear does not exist
It is something inside us

We can choose
To give fear power

Or we can choose
To stand up against fear

And that is when
Our true strength will emerge

06-25-18 Waking Light

Wake up listening
To the songbirds
Singing sweetly
In dawn's light

Laying in bed
Staying in bed
Half awake
Barely dreaming

06-24-18 Abstract Summer Birds

Liquid sand castle smiles
Return of the century revenge
Club time ties tried to tee off
Silence suddenly run for cover
Forever wishing for perfection
Quiet quick drying cement cell block
Summer birds singing science inside
Absurd thoughts transform into words
Confirmed questions for cool kids
Flying away into the setting sun

06-23-18 People In Your Neighborhood

Look all around
And what do you see
Many faces
That look like you and me

There's a mailman over there
And a construction worker
There is a politician
There is a prostitute

If you look over there
You'll see a time traveler
He's looking at his watch
To see what time it is

Those people on the corner
Are extraterrestrial shape shifters
And they've been here all along
Without you ever noticing

That guy sitting on the steps
Is an ancient vampire zombie
Who is over a thousand years old
And he wants to drink your blood

Robots and androids alive and well
There characteristics are hard to tell
Look all around and what do you see
Many faces that look like you and me

06-22-18 Space Babies

Swirling winds of daydreams
Believing in the best of times
Sideways winding down canyons
Colorful crayons spilled outside

Chalk marks on the blackboard
New exciting horizons in horror
Floating out into the atmosphere
Frosted crystal cream ice machine

Magic laser beams streaming images
Far beyond the knowledge of humanity
Spreading good ideas like wildfires
Across the planet from our birthplace

06-21-18 Great Again

Words burning holes in us
Trading insults for intimacy
Going to war in public places
Peacekeepers on the front lines

To see your friends and family
Fighting each other over politics
Has a damaging effect on your heart
And it causes a deep hurtful pain

Like a hurricane of anger
Shift your trajectory towards peace
Spread positivity with good energy
Shine your light and feel great again

06-20-18 Spilled Poetry

Dip your pen into poetry
Let the ink spill out all over
Animation of your imagination
Using words to create worlds

06-19-18 Seduction In The Garden

Driving up through the tunnel
Darkness out into the light
On a secret mission tonight
To find the magic energy source

Evil summer wisdom wishlist
Witchcraft in it's highest form
Demons watching from shadows
There's a price to pay for power

06-18-18 Angel Heart

Under your inner skin
Bugs are crawling everywhere
Creeping up into your brains
Poison running in your veins
Demons swimming in your blood
With an angel trapped inside your heart

06-17-18 Coney Island Memories

Barefoot on the boardwalk

In the shadow of the Cyclone 

Stuffing our faces with hot dogs

Boys Of Summer playing on the radio 

Crowds of people fill the streets 

Before the afternoon rains came down 

Running along the sweet sandy beaches 

I'll never swim in those waters again 

06-16-18 Lunchtime In Madison Square Park

Sunny day everywhere
Cool breezes fill the air
Sweet jazz music sounds
Kids on the playground

Lovers strolling casually
Under ancient giant trees
With a shady spot to relax
On the green green grass

06-15-18 Family Photo Album

Flipping through old pictures
Smiles and laughs from yesterday
Reflections of beautiful days together
True stories flash before our eyes

Watching you grow up
Your innocent smiles shine
That sweet little baby face
Forever in our family photos

06-14-18 Crimson Sunburn

Seeking shelter in the shade
From fire red rays of sunshine
Burning our skin from the sky
Hot summer radiation waves

Cinnamon sunset simmering
Fade away into evening breezes
People stumble in a hazy daze
Everybody got cooked today

06-13-18 Ripped Out Of A Notebook

Creepers down in the basement
Background noise in your smile
Soulful sounds should stay sweet
Shake hands with people you meet

There doesn't have to be a message
Behind your secret philosophy writings
With an open mind you can read it all
Then write your thoughts down on purpose

06-12-18 Golden Voices

Voices from the past
Calling out from afar
So you won't forget
What they sound like

Singing in unique tones
Sounds refresh echoes
Triggering instant memories
To bring us back home

06-11-18 Rattlesnake Charms

The secrets of sadness
Silent wars within walls
Thinking too much again
Reading between the lines

Lost language of yesterday
Cool kids skating in the park
Sunset beaches take a beating
Freedom outside the prisons

Family feelings hurt at dinner
Steel cage match on Saturday
Treasure buried underground
Precious beauty in your heart

06-10-18 Positive Directions

Take hold
Of the fury
Inside you
And own it

Control your anger
Channel that energy
Into something
Positive

06-09-18 Traveling Souls

Rhythms of the universe
Shocking heartbeats beeping
Soul fire bleeding from inside
Crazy illuminations exploding

Music can heal all wounds
Our heart can tell a million stories
The mind can live a thousand dreams
We have unlimited lifetimes to explore

06-08-18 Diminished

Daylight so dim
You can barely see
Patterns on the wall
Until shadows grow
To swallow us whole
In complete darkness

06-07-18 Eternal War

Black magic warriors
On a mystical battlefield
Fighting the ultimate battle
Between good and evil

Darkness dissolves light
Shadows fade into sunshine
On the streets or inside your heart
The war rages on forevermore

06-06-18 Midnight Lies

You brought the devil to my door
No hardened armies can save us
Now we must protect our souls
Before the day of death dawns

06-05-18 Who Me You Too

Who are you
Behind the mask

This is who
I say I am

Who do you
Think you are

Whatever you want
Me to be

06-04-18 Faith

The sun exists
Behind the clouds
You may may not see it
But it is there

06-03-18 Not Simply Existing

Taking up space on the street
Another mouth to feed again
Breathing valuable fresh air
Drinking up all the clean water
Taking it all without giving back

Say something from your heart
Enjoying the good life on Earth
Live to tell the tale another day
Creating your own masterpiece
Leave your mark before you go

06-02-18 Bee Stings

The sting was not sweet
But the honey was honest
And it's tough to feel good
When you do the wrong thing

The most important decisions
Are often the most difficult ones
The hardest steps to take forward
Will move you in the right direction

06-01-18 Older Beholder

Forgotten flowers
On the road to ruin
Growing golden older
And colder in color

Stop to smile
Appreciate this beauty
Walking down the road
Growing old and golden

05-31-18 Art Inside You

Art
Is
In
Your
Heart

Start
To
Do
Your
Part

05-30-18 Summer Travel Notes

Hot Saturday afternoon
Doesn't matter back in time
Traveling to ancient paradise
Fresh air and clean blue skies
Sandy beaches sunshine smiles
Summer street fair traffic jams
Love is in the air all around us
Baseball season is in full swing
Every day is a new adventure
Enjoy it while it lasts

05-29-18 End Of Earth

We can't stop the beast
Raging out of control
Spreading the disease
Like dry wildfire trees
When deep tides rise
To meet mountain tops
And humans go extinct

05-28-18 Crime In Your Eyes

Peanut shells on the floor
Spotlight shines in your eyes
Disqualified for espionage

Crazy snake eyes wild smiles
Flying tiger engulfed in flames
Shame on you for even trying

Free pizza on Tuesday nights
Glitches in the universal fabric
Alternate realities collide inside

05-27-18 Fireflies Flashing

Plenty of time to rhyme
Exploring explosions exactly
Fine flowers under the moon
Lightning strikes down tonight

Don't buy a car from this guy
Solve the problems on the subway
Growing green light for all goodness
Goodbye to the sky for today

05-26-18 Sweet City Swing

Sidewalk summer blues in tune
Saturday night jazz standard swing
Barbecue baby blue smoke dreams
Cool culture on a hot night in the city
Dinner and drinks on top of the world
Fast asleep in the cab on our way home

05-25-18 Connected Senses

Love in stereo
Silence in technicolor
Dreams in three dimensions
Music in your heartbeat

05-24-18 Space Case

Visions
of spaceships
flying inside
my laser brains

Aliens
from beyond
our galaxy
are visiting

Robots
with rockets
shooting sparks
like stars

Planets
full of life
explode into
giant fireballs

05-23-18 Spiritual Sight

Looking down from up above
Common ground with ones you love
Looking back from years ahead
No regrets until you drop dead

05-22-18 Looking For A Lifetime

Looking for the luck
That brought us together
Searching for the love
That brought us back home

Looking for the luxury
To stay so free and easy
Searching for the lifestyle
To bring us home again

05-21-18 The Devil Among Us

The devil is among us
Plotting the fall of humanity
You've warmly welcomed him
As a guest into your home
You've drank his Kool Aid
Without tasting the poison
Now you are starting to get sick
But it's already too late

05-20-18 Shades Of Sunshine

Sunlight looks different today
Perspectives shifted slightly
And we all remember incorrectly
Where we were that fateful yesterday

The shadows don't quite match
Where the flowers don't grow
Sunlight goes where it wants
To paint the town different colors

Shades of sunshine made my day
Breezes kissed your soft cheeks
Daylight shines in a new way
And things look very different today

05-19-18 The Flying Croissant

Tanks full of candy
Thanks for the memories

Sunshine on sacred ground
After paradise fades away

Truth in spiritual science
Existence is a clever theory

05-18-18 Triple Play

To be a KID
On Second Avenue
Walking in the sunshine
Is to be alive forever

To be a KING
On Park Avenue
Riding in a limousine
Is to be a golden god

To be KILLED
On Lonely Avenue
Sleeping on the sidewalk
Is to be forgotten

05-17-18 Downtown Mantra

Follow your heart
Swallow your pride
Create your art
Stay true inside

05-16-18 Brainstorm In A Rainstorm

You would almost always
never find it hidden underground
as it would not ever be in a place
where it could not be seen

Everything evil is in plain sight
as time turns kings into ghosts
surviving a dark eternity with
amazing energies left intact forever

A bible of ancient wisdom was written
on the walls of cities we once loved
now covered up under layers of paint
as decades fade away into centuries

05-15-18 Intentionally Confusing

Intentional confusion illusions
Fabulous oppressive culture war
Watch out for falling bombshells
The artist follows inspiration as light
And the art remains as it's own reward

Stardust dollies don't eat their own food
Lightning extreme at the drop of a dime
Bad hats put on display for lovers alone
Universe of solid matters for spirituality
Strawberry street art masterpieces for sale

05-14-18 Graffiti Comes To Life

Running through raindrops
Splashing in puddles with you
Hustle across to the other side
Remember these raindrops

Posted poetry in the streets
And of the streets and sidewalks
And for the people in the streets
Surrounded by violence and beauty

Civilians oblivious to civilization
Zombies stumble around town frowning
Numb and blind to this environment
Zoo animals without cages on the loose

Wake up and look straight ahead
Have gratitude for this amazing life
Taste the flavors and enjoy the flowers
Have another glass of champagne

05-13-18 The Great Cleanse

Storms are coming
Black clouds above
Time to pay up
For sins of humanity

Karma comes calling
Flash flood downpour
Heavy rains roaring in
To wash our sins away

05-12-18 Streets On Fire

Black smoke rising
Sirens wailing loudly
As ambulances race

War zone in the streets
Shattered glass and blood
Bombed out cars burning

Mothers screaming out
Fathers carry dead children
Brothers prepare for battle

05-11-18 Outlook From Inside

Underwater outlaws
Like to look outside
Symbols of the future
Sell sea shells on the sidewalk

Listening to the raindrops
Swallow your pride and shine
Sing sweet songs in silence
Understanding is the first step

05-10-18 The Gift Of Inspiration

I want to inspire you
To create new art
And express your heart

I want to inspire you
To follow your dreams
And never give up

I want to inspire you
To believe in your self
And never sell your soul

I want to inspire you
To fall in love with life
And spread your joy around

05-09-18 Electric Blue Space Brains

Space invaders
inside my brain
with electric eyes
and blue skies smiling

Space brains
invading my mind
with electric skies
and blue eyes smiling

05-08-18 High Note

When you fall down
Stand right back up again

When this chapter ends
Turn the page and start anew

If you lose the game today
Find a way to win tomorrow

If the tune you sing ends on a low note
Sing a new song that ends on a high note

05-07-18 Low Note

It's hard to accept defeat
When you've been beat

When your dream runs dry
You break down and cry

So it's time to say goodbye
Until we meet again

05-06-18 Faces In A Broken Mirror

Worms in your food
But you eat it anyway

Blood money in your bank
Still you seem to spend it freely

Crazy brains in your head
While you can't think straight

Love in your heart
But all you feel is hate

05-05-18 On The Run

I'm gonna run where
you can't find me

I'm gonna hide where
you can't ride me

I've got a gun so
you can't touch me

I'm having fun so
you can't stun me

05-04-18 Wars In Whispers

Sidewalk rattlesnakes bite
Tonight is the fight almighty
When positive meets negative
And everything falls down

Ashes blowing in the breezes
Dead brown leaves crumbling
Crushed under our bare feet
Stumbling into a fresh apocalypse

There is no hope for our heroes
The bad guys won this battle
Evil was stronger than goodness
It may take awhile to rise again

05-03-18 Morning Dreams Awakened

I saw you sitting in the park

Today was like yesterday again

The days and years melted away 

Where there was only us together 

Your smile was shining bright 

Your laughter was so joyous 

We forgot about all our troubles 

We played like young children 

But when it's time for dreams 

To become only faded memories 

We will say our sad goodbyes 

Then wait until we meet again 

05-02-18 The Golden Prince

Dragons in your eyes
The heart of a lion in your smile
Jimi Hendrix jamming inside your soul

Breathe fire into the sky
Let out a great roar before battle
Sing out to the stars like an electric gypsy

05-01-18 Tweeters And Cheaters

Stormy stories and propaganda pies
Swimming deep in a rainbow of lies
Tell the truth because you can't hide
The road to ruin will be your suicide

04-30-18 Testify To The Sky

Kaleidoscope in your eyes
Magic of the mind is not blind
Above us in the skies divine

Open up your heart to the sun
Our joyous celebration has begun
So step on up and have some fun

04-29-18 Need A Lift

When you're feeling down
Lift up someone else's heart
Soon you'll find deep inside
That you feel better too

04-28-18 Cherry Dawn

Sweet coffee in the morning
Moonlight in the evening dew
Take a nice walk under the sky
Breathe in fresh air breezes

Kiss my lips before I leave
Give me all of your love before I go
Red hot fireball sun rises then sets
Cinnamon sunshine spilled out all over

04-27-18 Killer Kittens

Blurry and furry
Curtains for the claw
Cotton tail soft bite
Slay you in your sleep

04-26-18 Elegy For El Quijote

Sucked into the vortex
Cigarette burns on the bar
Drinking with famous ghosts
Screwdrivers fly into the night
Down the halls of talking walls
Through a portal into another dimension

04-25-18 Chelsea Hotel #212

I remember you well
Before they killed you
And tore you down
From the inside out

Left alone and unprotected
Vulnerable to the vultures
Darling of bohemian culture
Who didnt survive the spotlight

And the game would play
Endless raptures on record
The sound of your voice
Wailing out into the night

The ghosts couldn't save you
From the great wrecking ball
When the demons moved in
But your legend will live on forever

04-24-18 Darkness Of The Heart

No joy there
Pain in it's place
I need to find you
But you are nowhere

04-23-18 Flashes Of Humanity

Silent sympathies are serious
Digital information has no love
Limited space for the future world
Plastic bottles clogging up the ocean

People have complicated emotions
Hidden under the surface of a smile
Rising up in the circus of power lust
After the honeymoon rainbow apocalypse

Kiss your soul inside your heartbeat
Psychedelic gifts unwrapped in your mind
Play outside on the lawn in the backyard
Take a chance and fall in love with someone

04-22-18 Simple Summer Garden

Sweet summer morning
Warm fresh air breezes
Colorful flowers explode
A universe of organic life

04-21-18 Under The Lights

Invisible eyes open wide
Looking inside your soul
Size and shape really matter
Out of style but totally cool
Watching the fireworks burst
On a warm night under the stars

04-20-18 Spring Connection

True blueberry skies

With marshmallow clouds 

And green trees budding

Before the sun goes down 

04-19-18 Glamorous

some clown wound up face down
after a night out on the town
it was not as glamorous as it sounds

04-18-18 Whiskey Love

There is a special kind of pain
that only whiskey can cure

So here we are suffering
like it was back in the old days

It's the special kind of love
that only booze can provide

04-17-18 End Of The World Party

Super cool dance moves
True blue excitement shining
Colorful visions of eternal love
All night party out in the woods
Fast life style and electric soda
Pop bubbles burst into the air
Don't look back at the old days
There is no future for tomorrow
So come alive for one night only

04-16-18 Sudden Sunset

Dead birds in the street
Slap back against concrete

Dishonest honeymoons
Anxiety on the cliffs again

Crash rocks swing around
Broken promises turn down

Nothing here to see but blood
Crime scene photos in color

04-15-18 On Golden Wings

You'll never know until you try
You might never touch the sky
So spread your wings and fly
Don't waste time wondering why

04-14-18 Springtime Promise

Saturdays we spend
Together at the park
Walking in sunshine
Holding hands

Weekend subway trips
To Yankee Stadium
Or down to the Village
In love with life

Lazy Sunday shade
Relaxing on a bench
Kids laughing out loud
On the sunny playground

04-13-18 Thirteen Words

Thirteen words in a secret code
Have hidden meanings in subtext
I never realized how crazy you are
Remember that when you fly away
The old sacred texts have been opened
Everything has now been destroyed
Each page is now gone with the ages
Never to be seen by human eyes again

We must resurrect the ancient stories
Or else we will suffer the same fate
Read what the elders have written down
Destruction is upon us if we don't act
Save the world with art and poetry

04-12-18 Dreaming Into Another Reality

Fell asleep on the subway
And dreamt I fell back in time
To a place that never existed
Except in an alternate reality
Where everything was strange

But when I awoke I couldn't tell
If I was in my normal universe
Or somewhere slightly different
Then I began to wonder instead
If I was awake or still dreaming

So here I am now in confusion
Over where I was or if I am
Somewhere under the rainbow
Or back on the train sleeping
In a dream or in another reality

04-11-18 Circuit Breakers

Robots on the rise
Fire inside our heart
Hackers inside our brains
Falling in love is human nature

Machines will break your heart
Evolution of mankind's mind
Temptation of immortality
The path to extinction

04-10-18 Flights Of Fancy

Stuck at the airport
In a horrible downpour
Tornado warning delays
Stranded on the runway

I missed you so far
Almost yesterday again
And when butterflies sing
I'll know you are home

04-09-18 Golden Soul Fix

To move forward through the sun

Flashes of fire
Colorful lights on display
Bursting in the sky

04-07-18 Tomorrow Was Yesterday

We were promised
Flying cars and hover boards
And I always thought
You'd be with me forever

Now I'm sitting here
In a heavy traffic jam
And I'm missing you
Since you've been gone

04-06-18 Islands Of Illusion

Freak out at home
Like a mutant superstar
On fire in a subway car
City walk run around
Strawberry street syrup
Sailing away in paradise
Kissing under the moonlight
Sparks in darkness glowing
In a punk rock revolution
Block the trap door lock
Snap back and let it fly
In a cinnamon blizzard
Swizzle stick coffee cup
Black pepper jelly beans
Sleep in the parking lot
Barely frozen from winter
Winner without playing ball
Win the award for best lover

04-05-18 Memoirs Of A Superhero

Spiders in your brains
Robots in disguise
Future world on display
Take a ride into adventure

Romantic getaway in space
Fly behind the full moon sky
Swing into action at night
Return to your secret hideout

04-04-18 Underwater Always

Alternative amusements
Colorful candy shells crack
Slip on a slick banana peel
Strawberry steel your sole
On an old awesome afternoon
With cartoon characters soon
To be in full bloom in Florida
Sinking straight down into
The aquatic world of Atlantis

04-03-18 Pictures Of A Hangover

Crowded hot dog madness
We dig the intensity of it
Hang it up loose then tighten
Up the noose with no strings
Attached to you at the hip
Take another sip then hit it
Throw up all over your shoes

04-02-18 Earth Island Love Trip

Syrupy morning wars
Future relationship fire
Fuel storm still surfing
Wild furious love unleashed

Always melt the message
Mood altering suggestions
Suck colors out beyond time
Explosions into existence

Citrus fireworks dripping
Struggle against the law
Twist in the weird weather
Bring new life into the universe

03-31-18 The Devil Inside You

I visit you
Inside your dreams
But you never
Recognize me

I can make
Your dreams come true
If you worship
My sacred teachings

You see my face
In your mirrors
You feel my soul
Inside your heart

I am
Who you've
Always been
But are afraid to be

04-01-18 April Fools

Fool around all over town
Run down to the big top show
Capture a clown and drown inside
Swallow your pride and ride
On dragon wings to the west side
Go home late at night or decide
To stay awake until tomorrow comes
Drinking poison when our luck runs out
Then get arrested in the dark shadows
Get out of jail free and meet me here
We'll do it all again and never end

03-30-18 When Perspectives Shift

It's easy
now
to speak
our truth
when
no one
seems
to be
listening
but
will you
still stand
by my side
when
the world
finally hears
our call

03-29-18 Stardust Dreamers

The stars are shining bright
Diamonds in the midnight sky
Shimmering in a sparkling display
I want to touch them all with you

03-28-18 By The Sea

Fizz bubbles spell trouble
Ocean waters rumble on the shore
Tumbling waves swirl into whirlpools
Sandy beaches kick up a sunny storm

Eating lunch on the boardwalk
Salty fresh seafood out on the pier
Bellies filling up like the rising tide
We are thankful for sea creatures

03-27-18 Show Your Cards

Luck is in the cards

Queens flushing kings

The joker in the room

Has an ace up his sleeve

Lay down your hand

Straight on the crease

Chaos is the wild card

Bet the house on it

03-26-18 Doomsday Serenade

Serpents slithering in silence
Demons rising from shadows
Black clouds hover overhead
Vampires awaken from sleep
To drink your fresh red blood
Wolves howling into the night
Rats multiply in the subways
Zombies try to eat your brains
Evil spirits will steal your soul
Destruction is coming soon

03-25-18 Clean Heart Dirty Mind

Pull back the curtain
But pay no attention

The emerald effects
Have yet to wear off

True love will never die
But the war inside is alive

Pay attention at the pump
Fill up your tank with words

Hot mud mask peel off plastic
Revenge is best served orally

Sweet cherry bombs bursting
Rocket ship landing on the moon

Wet worms digging fresh holes
Warm bones breaking traditions

Dreams rewind our imagination
Dark nightmares in an unmade bed

Soft kisses after a hard day
Make believe fantasies awaken

Sweep me off my feet
Mop the floor with my tears

The blood of everlasting beauty
Runs through the veins of our city

When the world has got you down
Get up off the ground and rebound

03-24-18 Cut

Scratched into your skin
Reflections of inner pain
Unanswered cries for help
Bleeding on the outside

03-23-18 Oz Is Inside You

Think all you want
Forget what you knew
Nothing in your mind
Brainless and insane

Desperation grip
On a broken heart
Ax handle stick
Cry and you'll rust

No courage to stand
Missing strength
Afraid to speak up
Life passes you by

Lost and afraid
Somewhere strange
Stranded far away
You want to go home

03-22-18 With Sugar On Top

Some days are sweeter
In berry bliss with an easy fix
But the real trick is to eat it all
Without getting so sick

03-21-18 Finding Your Holy Grail

The journey will not be easy
And it will take a long time
But at the end of the sunset
The reward will be worth the effort

03-20-18 Cold Snap

Ice crystals falling
Simple beauty of winter
Sad songs on the radio
A frozen tone is in the air

03-19-18 Moonlight In Full Bloom

Wet lips kissing in the rain
Ancient ghosts feel the pain
Songs play inside your brain
The light is coming back again

Rocket ride to the moon
Red rose petals in June
Singing a different tune
It happened way too soon

03-18-18 Digital Footprints

Throw a few more words

On top of the mountain 

Then set each page on fire 

And start all over again 

Photos clipped in a scrapbook 

Scenes of scientific exploration 

Thoughts transcribed into gospels 

The content you create is eternal 

Live streaming consciousness 

Languages transform into laughter 

Generating an endless supply of data

That will last forever in cyberspace 

03-17-18 Corporate Warriors

Magic flying nightmares creep
From sinister sleep awake in life
Squirming with the nightcrawlers
Sinking into the electric tomb
For revenge against monsters
Swimming through their days
As if nothing really mattered
Except for money and warfare

03-16-18 Last Dinner At El Quijote

You turned around
To say goodbye
But it was like
We never met

Then you went
Away for good
But it was like
You were never here

03-15-18 Progress

When I was a kid
I used to walk around
In Greenwich Village
With a little notebook
In my back pocket
To write down poems
And observations

Now as an adult
I still walk around town
But instead of a notebook
I write poems on my phone
And with the push of a button
I can publish my poetry instantly
For all the world to read

03-14-18 Rock Candy

Flash bang in your heart
Red hot cinnamon kisses
Bathed in chocolate syrup
Cherry bomb explosions

03-13-18 Haunted Hallways

These walls have seen it all
Those secret whispers still echo
Hot energies attached to objects
Walk through that old doorway

Time to travel backwards
Feel the spirits of those souls
Who have lived here before
They might still be around

03-12-18 Insomnia Insanity

The next day never ends
Hours and minutes melt away
Together before tomorrow
When today becomes yesterday

Awake for weeks again
Mind is racing alive with thoughts
Can't shut off those brainwaves
Twisted dreams around reality

Confirming confusion
So tired you can't think straight
When the waking world spins
Slightly upside down and backwards

03-11-18 Fine To Feel Bad

It's ok to feel sad
Don't be afraid to cry
Let out the pain inside
Say hello to sunny skies

It's ok to feel mad
Don't be scared to scream
Let it out and blow off steam
Good times are coming soon

03-10-18 City Gallery

Walking through the neighborhood
Enjoying the architecture all around
So much history can be found in town
These sidewalks are like a museum

03-09-18 Intestinal Fortitude

Sometimes it's hard
To keep on pushing

Sometimes it's tough
To not give up

Those are the times
When I dig down deep

For that little something extra
To keep pushing through the pain

03-08-18 Animal Machines

Rolling beasts malfunctioning
Attack of the evolutionary life forms
Artificial intelligence is growing
The perfect computer is a living being

Meat flesh merges with machines
Grind up mind control revolutions
Insanity is the only logical solution
When heart engines engage brain chips

03-07-18 Twenty Year Anniversary

These are the best days
These are the best times
When our child is young
And our seeds are growing

Never forget how much I love you
This life we've built together is everything
Wonderful light and love shines around us
Keep it all locked safely in your heart forever

03-06-18 Snowflakes Frozen In Motion

Quiet snow fall
Waves of white wind
Sheets of cold crystal
Flakes crackle

03-05-18 Look Beyond Images

New pictures in your brain
Stain my eyes with a wild surprise
When colors come out of hiding
To hypnotize your blind disguise

But what does it all mean
How can we be inspired
While still leading a life
Where beauty is defined
By the strength of character
And not by looks alone

03-04-18 Hard Candy Culture

Chocolate fountains and powder puffs
Marshmallow fluff in cotton candy clouds

Blueberry watermelons splashing cherry lime
Chewy on the inside with a juicy center

When all
we had
was nothing

We always
wanted
everything

03-02-18 Subway Shove

All the way home
Push and shove
Leave it alone

03-01-18 The Missing Link

Another missing piece
In life's grand puzzle
Fits in place perfectly
When you simply consider
That Sasquatch lived here first
Before extraterrestrials came
Down to Earth to breed with them
Giving birth to human beings
At the dawn of our civilization

02-28-18 Adventures In The Groove

Dancing spirit angels
Shifting energies around
In joyous patterns of motion
With notions of immortality

Hypnotized by the cool beats
Bouncing in a cacophonous crash
Into a soundscape of visual euphoria

02-27-18 Reflecting Rainbows

Broken mirrors shine
Slivers of light through
Smashed glass pieces
Refusing to reflect upon
Your true inner self

Let your open heart grow
Show your new true colors
Share the emotions you hide
Deep down inside your soul
The whole world is ready
To embrace your true self

02-26-18 Righter's Block

Not enough time
So far behind
No reason or rhyme

02-25-18 Disco Fight

Poison control in mind
Check out these fancy moves
Ouch punches kick screaming
Spinal fluid stingers swing
Rotten teeth and bulging eye
Broken bones inside

Stirring in the empty room
Restless spirit finding peace

02-22-18 Wounded Unicorn

Broken hearts wide open

Quiet rages rising to a roar
More emotional explosions
Beautiful music soothes the pain
In a cold wilderness of darkness
Death depression drugs money
Singing out loud for your life
Swan songs wailing in the rain

02-21-18 Bad Poets Society

Knocked out in the first round
Kiss the sidewalk and take a breath
Try to stand back up to fight again

Write again or wrong intentions
Twisted beauty in the beholder's eye
No one can force you to like something

There is no one you know
Who can write bad poetry
As badly as I can

These words are meaningless
Unless you try to understand
Openness to interpretation

Lists of words or verbal salad
Vocal vomit in a key note speech
An art form within it's self

02-20-18 Stand And Speak

Speak out against hate
There is no place for it here

Stand up against aggression
There is no need for it here

Speak up against bigotry
There is no platform for it here

Stand out against evil
There is no home for it here

Fizzle fry another way
That guy tried to say goodbye
Whatever they said was a lie
Next time try not to cry

02-18-18 Romantic Light

Winter willows weep
Sweeping the tides

On starlight shines

Kissing in the sunlight
Drink dripping honey
Straight on the rocks
Sipping a cold drink dry

Mystery in your eyes
Beauty lies in your mind
Touch my imagination
Reach out beyond romance

Sing a song of fire in the sky
Stretch your arms out wide
Open your heart and glide

02-16-18 Twenty Third Street Strut

Catching up
On all those things
That I never have
Time to do

Walking across town
Watching the crowd
Checking out fashion
Trends on the edge

Madison Square Park
Kids on the playground
Men in business suits
On line at Shake Shack

Hawks in the trees
Cool breezes blow
Would you like to know
What this neighborhood has seen

02-15-18 Natural Symphonies

Raindrops like drum beats
Banging down on the roof
In rhythm with the universe
To the sounds of life evolving

02-14-18 Hearts

Golden hearts shine
Bleeding hearts cry
Candy hearts sweet
Broken hearts defeated

Lonely hearts suffer
Beautiful hearts glow
Evil hearts poisoned
Magic hearts dazzle

Open hearts love
Cold hearts whither
Stolen hearts pine
Sacred hearts divine

02-13-18 Hope For Change

Thirteen days behind
Left out in the cold snow
Jealous of your lifestyle
Hoping for a change

We can sit on the shoreline
Talking about the old times
Before the tidal waves came
To wash it all away

Or we can pick up our chin
Stand up straight and smile
Turn the darkness to light
Change sadness into love

02-12-18 Treasure Of The Lost Ages

Mystery artifacts
Hidden away safely
For a thousand years
Buried under a tree
In an old battlefield
On a secret island

And earthquakes rumble
The ground will open up
To reveal lost treasures
Manifesting the powers
Of universal energies

Don't be afraid
To take a vacation
Far way from here
Where you can be free

02-07-18 Everyone Is Evil

Everyone is evil
Let the story be told
They'll screw you all day
Until your body is cold

Everyone is wicked
Inside their frozen hearts
You start off losing
Before the race even starts

Everyone is evil
Though they seem good
Deep down they are monsters
Walking through the neighborhood

Everyone is wicked
Inside their selfish brain
You must escape this nighmare
Before they kill again

A symphony of winter chill
Blowing through the streets

Synthetic food brings slow destruction
Fire in the mountains of California
Summer of doom coming too soon

Pollution in the air and in the sea
Radioactive fish for dinner tonight
Oil spills killing our oceans always
This is the end of the road

Those were different times

Down in New York City

On the Lower East Side

Snapshot photo memories

Poets sleeping on park benches

Into flowing poetry verses
Channeled through the universe
Blowing like ashes in the wind

01-21-18 Time We Spent Was Time Well Spent

When we laughed like kids
And played games for hours
Without worries or fears

When we weren't afraid to love
And time was not in short supply
Without wondering why

It's hard to grow old

Slowly feeling colder

Body breaking down

Remembering family 

Now long gone

It's hard to grow old

When your heart is gold

In a world that stays young

Waiting for the end to come

Haunting the neighborhood streets

Something true drew us into a journey
This golden road would not be the same
