01-31-18 Always Open

Remember the old days

Those were different times

Down in New York City

On the Lower East Side

Snapshot photo memories

Sketch book compliments

Falling in love with you

In a coffee shop on Avenue A

Artists evolving into angels

Dreaming of romantic beauty

Poets sleeping on park benches

Lost thoughts gone forever

Choose your own adventure

Red roses and pink flower prints

Superstars blowing magic kisses

Inspiration from the universe

Sweet wine on Saturday night

Beyond what hearts can feel

Muses dancing in the moonlight

Destiny always wins in the end

Do your best
Get some rest

01-29-18 Buzz Word Bingo

Gold swizzle glitter drizzle
Sweet sleeper flash puddle
Effervescent epiphanies shine
Climb on slides swing on trees

Shoot joy bliss fun explosion
Would you like to sleep outside
Fall in love under the stars
Sorry I didn't mean it

01-28-18 Challenger

We watched them fly
To the stars and above

We saw them fall
In a giant fireball

We said goodbye
With our innocence lost

Simple space battle
So many explosions
Flying saucers spinning
Round and round unbound
And then we were all doomed

Secret distractions
Captured forever
Etched in stone notes
Devoted to descriptions
Subtle subway observations
Graffiti spray paint messages
Word explosions growing
Treasure troves of poetry

We'll find the treasure together
With golden hearts we follow light
Sweet glow of love on life's journey
Holding hands on the path ahead

Underwater witches swim
In the murky deep oceans
To capture your mortal soul
They'll rip your heart right out
And eat it for breakfast
Then they'll hunt another
To repeat the cycle

01-23-18 Haunted Castle Magic

Forbidden ghosts
Rise to the occasion
When the moon is bright
And broken light is shining

Illusions blind your mind's eye
Confusion clouds all realities

Easy spirit sanctuary
Golden glow of ancient fire
Vibrations reverberating energy
Sending messages beyond time

01-22-18 Lost Poetry Last

Crash down breakout tide
Collages of great artwork
Photocopy color texture
Ripped up magazine pages

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

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

I miss those carefree days
When we laughed like kids
And played games for hours
Without worries or fears

I miss those special times
When we weren't afraid to love
And time was not in short supply
Without wondering why

01-20-18 Superheroes On Parade

Whales spotted off the shore
Sinking ship stripped down
Saturday freedom party sing
On the wings of golden angels

Villains plot doomsday schemes
Secret identity alter ego switcheroo
Fly away high over tall skyscrapers
Save the world over the weekend

Entertainment overload marathon
March in the streets for equality
Speak out loud against injustice
Go back to work on Monday

Shoreline walk in sunshine
Seashells under bare feet
Sweet summer breezes blow
Saltwater kisses in ocean mist

Sitting alone
In an empty room
With only thoughts
To keep you company

Sitting together
In a crowded restaurant
With loud conversations
To keep you busy

01-17-18 Stardust Visions Come Alive

Ice castles falling from the skies
Radiation brains in mind unwind
Looking forward to another time
Traveling through to the other side
Sing quietly to the sweet stars alive
Find your spirit wandering outside

01-16-18 Growing Old Sucks

It's hard to grow old

Slowly feeling colder

Body breaking down

Knees creaking 

It sucks to grow old

Watching friends die

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

Crackling with magical energy
The wizard has you under a spell
Throw a penny in the wishing well
Don't tell us what you wished for

01-14-18 Reckless Abandon

I put my heart in your hands
I let you hold it and mold it

Then you dropped it on the floor
Before walking out the door

01-13-18 Feathers Of The Phoenix

To describe the beauty
of a raging sunset flower
growing up through the dust
of a fallen civilization

Could never do justice
to the image of life exploding
into the first rays of tomorrow
so full of sunshine and color

Rainstorms roaring
Pouring down drowned
Huge drops pounding
All around the town

Open up your heart
Sing out loud
With a million blessings

Don't wait for the world to wilt
Teach your children the power of love
Before it's too late

Motionless oceans
Under warm blankets
Diving down deep
Into the sleep realm
Navigating at night
Sinking in subconscious
Dreams traveling into space
Beyond a strange reality

Sleeping with animals
Fighting to stay alive
Keep warm inside caves
Struggling to find food

In blizzard conditions
Frozen like a block of ice
A blast of arctic air blowing
Survival of the fittest

I thought you would love it
but you didn't

I hoped it would make you happy
but it couldn't

I tried to make everything perfect
but it wasn't

I wanted you to love me
but you won't

01-06-18 Suspension Of Disbelief

Illusions in our mind's eye
Blinded by smoke and mirrors
Secret maneuvers in darkness
Imagination alive and wild
On a voyage to many places

01-05-18 Frozen Zone

Not a soul in sight
Birds won't take flight
On the coldest night

It hurts to be outside
Punishing blizzards glide
Nature has died

Falling outside yourself
Drop down in the shadows
Find who you truly are
Deep down underneath
Below all of your armor
There lies a soft heartbeat

01-03-18 Crystal Kaleidoscope

Ice crystals forming
Beautiful symmetry
Frozen solid and still

Gorgeous crystals
Sparkle like diamonds
In soft moonlight

Ice crystals twinkling
In a breeze of thin air
Through bitter cold

Frosty images transform
Into wild crystal visions
Before it all melts away

01-02-18 Deep Down Inside

Carry your soul
Deep down inside
Bare bones broken
Deep down inside
Your beating heart

01-01-18 On Top Of Another Mountain

Glad we are all still connected
Without missing too many moons
Catching up on old times together
Haunting the neighborhood streets

Finally get to share a laugh with you
Chemistry explosions across time
Something true drew us into a journey
This golden road would not be the same
