10-31-18 Autumnal Anxiety

Waiting for the winter
Cold gears turning older
Old years turning colder
Crazy thoughts arrive

First snowflakes falling
In the middle of the night
In the middle of nowhere
No one even notices

10-30-18 Coffee Shop Regulars

Sunlight shines brightest
Through the front window

Coffee quietly percolating
Dark rich aroma eruptions

Forgotten music on the radio
Conversations growing out loud

Lazy spirits swirling through
On their way to everywhere

10-29-18 Eve Of Doom

Survival mode is in full effect
The doors are locked for the night
Dark clouds obscure the sunshine
Hold our breath and wait until morning

10-28-18 Planet Egypt

Eternal life in outer space
Race through time travel tunnels
Cursed from the pharaoh's tomb
Beyond the soul of the desert queen

Exploring dark cavernous labyrinths
Inside giant pyramids uncovering secrets
Hunting for mummies from ancient worlds
Relics from another age contain lost energy

10-27-18 Life Support

I am here with you

I will stay with you

I will not leave you

Reaching out to comfort you

I will hold you in my arms 

And I will stay as long as you need me

10-26-18 Body Languages

Words like puzzle pieces
Fit into place in certain spaces
Written all over their faces

10-25-18 Autumn Leaves On Display

Blowing through the air
Dancing in blue skies
Flickering in sunshine
Pretty colors flashing
All over the neighborhood
Soon to be ravaged by winter
But beautiful here right now

10-24-18 Afraid Of Shadows

Reading books in seclusion
Quiet moments in dark spaces
Thoughts explode with imagination
Ideas for inspiration spilled out

Pain in your heart
Coffee in your cup

Trying to find a way to figure it out
Spirits released cannot be contained
A revelation has emerged from beyond
Enlightenment comes in strange forms

10-23-18 Driftwood City Sharks

Underwater wilderness
You will never see
Because you live in the city

Sharks all look the same
On land or in the sea
But you never look at me

10-22-18 Age Of Decay

A darkening of the tooth
Old age and poison glory
Lots of birthday cake here
Sell another sugar machine

Chip away at progress of time
Dream of a mouthful falling out
Whisper sweet words in my ear
Smile again for the last time

10-21-18 Magnetic Attraction

Rivers of electric love
Flowing through the jungle
Alive with excitement again
With eyes and ears imagined
Sounds of violence silently speak
Across another home for heaven
With our hearts and minds combined
Intertwined behind the spirit of soul

10-20-18 Mood Storm

Sand clouds rule the darkness
Cool birds sing big dreams to stars
Famous lunch bags for holiday charm
Crying chrysanthemums on a moon rock
Falling for stories from a certain universe
Sleep for eternity in the eye of a dragon

10-19-18 Rage Alone

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

You might shoot us down
You might try to silence us
But we will rise up stronger
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

10-18-18 Keepsake

I left this here
for you to find
someday when
I am gone

If you ever need
to feel the warmth
from inside my heart
you can find it here

Everlasting hugs
and sweet kisses
to help you remember
that I will always love you

10-17-18 Underground Rumblings

Whispers of warfare
In the cold countryside
Mobilizing secret soldiers
Gathering information
Undercover wondering
When peace will return

10-16-18 Sunday Raindrops Pop

Remember fantastic magnets
Magic planets on the playground
Magnificent green lights shining
Skin season skies cream pies cry
Dried out dreams deep in sleep
Space station jams beyond gravity
Walking on moonlight meditations
Finding peace in nature before robots
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
next time

I will always
remember the
first time

It was the
best time
every time

I should've said it
when we still
had time

But this time
there will be no
next time

10-13-18 Fate Had Other Plans

This wasn't what you wished for
But it's what life had in store
You expected more than your share
Now you're walking out the door

10-12-18 Exploring Alternate Realities

The photo you never took
The drinks you never drank
The trip you never took
The art you never made

The party you never attended
The food you never ate
The love you never embraced
The life you never lived

10-11-18 Let Your Voice Be Heard

Get up
Make a change
Lift up your heart
Stand for something
Find out what you are made of
Then show the world who you are

10-10-18 Chiller Thrillers

Evil deeds dressed to kill
Live the thrill ride horror
House of monsters howling
Creatures roaming at night

Creepy spooks or spooky creeps
Good fun for future hauntings
Spilled on the sidewalk in blood
Ghosts whispering your name

10-09-18 I'll Meet You

I'll meet you in outer space
With our feet off the ground
And the light of stars in our eyes

I'll meet you at Yankee Stadium
With our hands giving high fives
And the thrill of victory in our dreams

I'll meet you on the other side
With our souls melting together
And the light of love in our hearts

10-08-18 We Come In Peace

Twisted specimens of savagery
A brutal existence in the wilderness
Mystified by the secrets of the universe

10-07-18 Your Little Cartoon World

I wish we could go back
to your little cartoon world
full of colorful characters
and fantastic creatures

I wish we could go back
to your little cartoon world
where monsters come to life
and superheroes save the day

I wish we could go back
to your little cartoon world
where there are no expectations
and we can dance beyond imagination

10-06-18 Mechanics Of Time Travel

Oceans of worms deliver darkness
In a complete fabrication of time
On the road towards alternate reality
Without boundaries in a free form

Flowing beyond flooded communities
Towards an unthinkable future fantasy
Blowing the doors off our consciousness
To achieve a state of collective peace

10-05-18 Midtown Meditation

Taxi cabs beeping
Fire trucks wailing
Angry guys yelling
Construction booming

Sit up straight
Take a deep breath
Close your eyes
Turn off your mind

10-04-18 Art Gardens In Atlantis

The best impossible buzz
words flying through the
atmosphere on fire in here
where the terrible truth is
out there on the fringes of
the underground art world
in underwater gardens

10-03-18 I See You

I see you crossing
Lexington Avenue
In the afternoon

I see you crying
Your tired eyes out
In the morning

I see you sleeping
On the sidewalk
In the evening

I see you suffering
Without any food
In the city streets

10-02-18 Ode To A Tin Can

Dented tin can
Full of soup
Sitting on a shelf
In my kitchen cabinet
Waiting to open up

I poured you out
Now you're empty
So I tossed you away
Into a recycling bin
So you might live again

10-01-18 Morning Space

Here comes the morning
Listen to the music of the streets
Feel the cool breezes blowing
Watch all the people running
Check the newspaper headlines
Pick up some coffee on the corner
Get ready to take over the world
