02-29-12 Sacred Secrets Revealed

Bonus moments for the last time ever after
Last licks in extra innings to win the game
Kick back snap and let action be the judge
Haunted by ghosts from the new graveyard
Past present and imperfect for another day
Outlasting the odds that are stacked against
Underdogs and superstars who always rise
In the end it only goes to show the way to go

True stories of the ancient future
Told by misguided time travelers
Encoded inside misquoted messages
Communicated through radio waves
But interpreted two centuries too late

Garbage sold as solid gold in desperate times
Sins of all evil soldiers catch up eventually
Sneaky strategies motivated by personal greed
Misery fuels the desire for negative energy
Shameful behavior mixed with bad intentions
Relentless strategies plotted in dark shadows
Lies betray the hearts of innocent citizens
Demons hidden inside friendly neighbors





    

02-28-12 Being Human

Allow yourself to laugh and cry
Don't fool your self into believing
That you are nothing more
Or nothing less than what you are





    

02-27-12 Night Terrors

Serpents stalk us in our dreams
poisoning our unconsciousness
bleeding into our tormented souls
slithering in through our eyeballs
haunting us deep inside our minds
riding through this ancient nightmare
in shock from fright and gasping for air
paralyzed in agony over insane visions of horror
howling like mad beasts when the lights go out
until we get to the part where we never awaken




  

02-26-12 Never Waste Another Day

Today I'm going to make it count
I'm going to do all the things
that I always should've done

Today I'm going to break down walls
and make a difference where others said
it could never happen

Today I'm going to make my mark
I'm going to forge a lasting impression
in all the places where it counts

Today I'm going to give everything I have
to change the world in my own unique way
by doing the things that really matter





      

02-25-12 Summer Sun Shower

Cool raindrops splash and sizzle
on hot cracked pavement
as warm wet steam rises up
and evaporates into thin air




    

02-24-12 A Lonely Time Traveler

Dreaming away
through the dog days
makes me wonder
about lightning and thunder
striking first blood before
a blizzard of heat ascends
in full flight frozen in time
blinded by humanity's distant future
forward into the past
rewound around the clock
where time is meaningless

02-22-12 Mysterious Messiah

REJOICE
REJOICE
REJOICE

Your overlord has arrived
just in time for Judgement Day
singing unnatural hymns
praising unseen forces

Shouting brand new gospels
that were written in dreams
through special messages
to save your soul from your self

Enlightened by visions
of sacred spiritual visitations
seen through the eyes of the universe
crossing the gateway to freedom

Now it's alright to relax
and rest assured that everything is cool
because your prophet has spoken
in the language of the gods

HALLELUJAH
AMEN




    

02-21-12 I'm Going To Have A Son

I found out this morning
that my wife has a little baby boy
rolling around inside her belly

And with tears in my eyes
I thought about our grandparents
and how they'd be so proud

I thought about the good times we'll have
tossing a ball back and forth
when we go to the park

I thought about the talks we'll have
like the talks I had with my dad
father and son man to man

I thought about the moments we'll share
when we finally watch Star Wars together
and when I take him to his first concert

I thought about the lessons we'll learn
as we travel together down the road of life
finding our way through the darkness and light

Most importantly I thought about my son
and how blessed I am to be expecting him
the greatest gift I've ever been given





    

02-20-12 Food For The Flies

Shriveled up piece of rotten fruit
Dropped out of someone's grocery bag
Roasting on the sidewalk pavement
Under a blazing summer sun




    

02-19-12 Quiet Morning Meditation

Cold steel blue sky
over the Brooklyn Bridge
street lights fade out
inside the downtown dawn

Sunrise shattered
splattered across the skyline
early birds chirping
an overture of subtle melodies

Pink clouds floating
on the wings of a warm breeze
the city comes alive
at the start of a brand new day





            

02-18-12 Walking On Water

After the devastation unleashed
by the massive global superstorm
the thick dark clouds parted ways
and rays of sunshine began to shine

A golden starship descended from the heavens
as we all stood stunned in shock and awe
until an extraterrestrial angel appeared
walking gracefully across the surface of the ocean

The dawning of a new age had arrived
as we transcended to the next level of awareness




          

02-17-12 Slipping Into An Ethereal Groove

Dancing Furiously Into A Hypnotic Trance
Floating Over The Crowd Out Of Body
Laying Down Some Slick Moves Jumping
Above The Thick Layer Of Sweaty Steam
Into The Upper Atmosphere Flowing All Over
Dripping With Liquid Heat Radiating Away
Within The Stinky Funk Of Wild Physical Passion
Excited By Twisted Erotic Images Melting Around
Swinging Through Clouds Of Glitter Twinkling
Beyond A Blinding Display Of Intense Flashing Lights
Showered In Smoke Show Cherry Bomb Pop Rocks
Blowing Up Bubbles Bursting Hot Candy Kisses
Splashing In A Pool Of Colorful Sparkling Vibrations
Flooded In A Wave Of Relentless Emotional Celebration
Connected To The Pulse Of A Billion Beating Hearts




  

02-16-12 The Cruel Passage Of Time

Writing up a raging inferno
on the second floor where we used to live
creating beautiful insanity between those walls
inspired by the insane beauty of our younger days
playing the hours away without a care in the world
staring up at the stars wishing for a brighter future
and when I listen to those old Grateful Dead tapes
it brings me right back there as if it was yesterday
to our old room on the second floor




    

02-15-12 Deliciously Evil And Addictive

We shook hands and acted cool
over champagne and cocktails
wrapped inside wicked smiles
lost in endless boring conversations
building from a quiet hush to a roar
pretending to care with a vacant stare

Now they won't dare to look me in the eyes
I see through their beautiful disguise
kissing cheeks telling drunken lies
I can recognize their fake surprise
when they never even begin to notice
that I'm not around in the pretty crowd
since I simply don't show up anymore





 

02-14-12 Fractured Friendship

Old friends fall apart
under the weight of broken bonds

Bitter feelings of sadness
turn to anger and resentment

Deep wounds of betrayal
stabbing straight into the heart

Shattered trust busted apart
like a snap kick right in the skull

Shades of pain hurt
worse now than they always have

So much space left in between
across the long cold empty distance





            

02-13-12 Illumination

Follow the light
and it will guide your soul
in the right direction




    

02-12-12 Afraid Of Darkness

Up all night
with intense rage
burning down inside
sadness and terror
writhing in pain
shaking violently alive
shattered beyond words
suffering serious exhaustion
under heavy sedation
hypnotized by madness
fighting off nightmares
frightened beyond fear
shivering warm chills
dripping with sweat
drowning above water
bathed in evil
where shadows lurk
silently strange in
absence of light
reflecting wicked seductions
washed in blood
turning black and
tortured with thoughts
of insane paranoia
delivered by destiny
knocking down doors
suddenly startled awake
drifting off into
dreams about fire
engulfed in flames
running away from
happiness torn apart
before reaching salvation
at the end
of the journey





  

02-11-12 Not Something Scary

An ant walks down the stairs
I think he falls down the stairs
Or maybe he falls madly in love
With a giant blue buffalo elephant

Spiders eat boiled eggs for lunch
Like a bouncing baby basketball
From an outer space football game
We have fun using our imagination



     

02-10-12 Navigating Paradox Reflections

The Rocket Science Of Daydreams
Has Twisted Your Mental Brain Waves
Inside Out Around A Mind Bender
And The Obvious Meaning Of Logic
Found Behind Psychic Revelations
Exists In Direct Negative Proportion
To Memories Of Physical Experiences




  

02-09-12 Tragic Hero

found dead in a lonely hotel room
cold and stiff in the lap of luxury
limousine waiting down on the street
immortal in the silent stillness of eternity




    

02-08-12 A Casual Encounter

They never spoke a word
but their souls connected
on another spiritual level
between image and invisibility
shifting emotions changing colors
attracted by irresistible magnetism
overwhelmed with intense feelings
forging an everlasting relationship
engaged in an intangible communion
mesmerized by bright lights in the sky
manipulated by a visitation from beyond

Manipulated by a visitation from beyond
mesmerized by bright lights in the sky
engaged in an intangible communion
forging an everlasting relationship
overwhelmed with intense feelings
attracted by irresistible magnetism
shifting emotions changing colors
between image and invisibility
on another spiritual level
but their souls connected
they never spoke a word


    


  

02-07-12 Running Away

Stranded in the waiting room
at Penn Station on a Monday night
sick to my stomach alone in agony
freezing cold with nowhere to go

Wandering the city streets until dawn
bewildered with no sense of direction
searching for some kind of guiding light
to take me anywhere except where I am




    

02-06-12 Haiku All Night

We love to haiku
At the end of an evening
Until the morning



  

02-05-12 Ice Age Freezer Burn Rebirth

Footsteps in snowfall out on the Queensboro Bridge
Children will never know how it used to be when artists ruled
Schools don't really teach that sort of thing anymore

Fresh green grass turned frozen brown and crumbled
After that cruel winter blew through town like an atomic bomb
Still silently sleeping in a state of suspended animation

Now the new season of warmth has returned around
To bring us back to those olden days of future's past fascinations
The next generation is breathing fresh breaths again

All thawed out growing wild ideas through wide eyes
Creating a youthful new legacy of hopeful technicolor fantasies
Thriving with newborn energy for the very first time





    

02-04-12 For The Children Of Tomorrow

Crystal clean electric cool
Subliminal messages win again
Soon we will form a revolutionary trend
And angels will fall from beyond the tide

They bring with them a brutal plague
Solid ice frozen cold to the bitter bone
Home alone with no food and no heat
The battle cry of a generation rings out

Smearing animal fat on our faces for protection
When we risk our skins protesting in the streets
For our stolen freedom to survive alive
Rising up against the powers of evil




    

02-03-12 Lost Notebook In Paris

Precious brain dead memories on parade
displayed with faithful romantic passion
at the bottom of an empty whiskey bottle

Obliged to write it all down
in some sort of insane language
on pages stained with red wine like blood

Scribbled in singular flowing lines without breaks
kind of like long majestic snakes winding around
sideways slanted repeating in loops before rewinding
fast forward then stopped to play and record

In calculated combinations of thoughts or phrases
which can neither be destroyed nor created
when it seems we are all bearing witness
to the true murder of artistic expression

In danger of being resurrected and exploited
faithfully executed in eerie premonitions
which appear to be more like expectations

Hunted in the streets chanting haunted prayers
with obscene poetry scrawled in a tortured script
reflecting upon strange summertime obsession
in anguish over painful waves of heartache

Carefully translated then completely crossed out and abandoned
as though it never even existed except in the imagination
of it's own creator left stranded searching for inspiration

As the warm morning light filtered in
across the room along the hardwood floor
until suddenly in a moment of clarity
it all came to life like a religious epiphany

Finally in tune with the universe
Famous last words





  

02-02-12 Into Oblivion

The world around us is falling apart
Animals going extinct right before our eyes
Neighborhoods flooding in polluted waters
Earthquakes shaking buildings breaking

Ancient glaciers are melting away
Rivers rising and wildfires blazing
Car bombs exploding in crowded cities
Two by two we enter the Arc




    

02-01-12 Forgotten Phantoms

Ghostly Spirits
Eternally Cursed
Under A
Mystical Spell
Doomed To
Dwell Forever
Trapped Inside
The Void
Between Death
And Life
Surrounded By
Restless Souls
Longing To
Be Set
Free Again
Into The
White Light
