11-29-12 Starving For Substance
Empty open wound without any bleeding
Hunted by soulless animals down on the subway
Sadness burning deep in the heart where it hurts
No mercy at the bottom
Life wasn't supposed to turn out like this
Broken hearted and humbled in desperation
Suffering several atomic meltdowns today
Not sure about tomorrow
Hunted by soulless animals down on the subway
Sadness burning deep in the heart where it hurts
No mercy at the bottom
Life wasn't supposed to turn out like this
Broken hearted and humbled in desperation
Suffering several atomic meltdowns today

11-28-12 Tag You're It
Maybe we can fool around
In the neighborhood playground
Down in the circular sandbox
Where the kids all sound profound
Sharing newfound friendships
Playing long games of hide and seek
Pretending to be grown ups
Dreaming about cartoons and fairy tales
Without a care or trouble in mind
Finding ways to have fun in the sunshine
We wound up getting so excited
We completely lost track of the time

11-27-12 Immortal On The Internet
It's a sad day
When you check your Facebook page
Only to find out
That a friend has passed away
We are living
In an age where news travels in real time
We are dying
In an age where one's digital presence outlasts their physical body
When you check your Facebook page
Only to find out
That a friend has passed away
We are living
In an age where news travels in real time
We are dying
In an age where one's digital presence outlasts their physical body

11-25-12 Seasons Of Silent Slaughter
Kill the sky wild while standing tall
Against the universe following a supernova
Swallowing goldfish for fun on Friday night
At ease laid back in front behind the crimson mask
Traveling beyond light speed around the neighborhood
Busting out fresh grooves inside the womb entombed
Flash forward before striking the bullseye smile
Gazing up at tall skyscrapers falling in love with the city
Learning write from wrong in my old Chevy Mallibu
On the road reading the book living out dreams
Listening to old ghosts at the White Horse Tavern
Whiskey inspiration spinning breathless tales of romance
Floating on the air splashed in between bar stools
Drowned out on Eleventh Street running into evil
Temporary waves brilliance crashing high
Over the top hanging out at the bottom of a blackout
Restore power to the underdogs living on the outskirts
Sleeping on the Number Seven Train after Cinco de Mayo
Clouded visions of crystal castles floating away
All the way to eternity passing through for a moment
Captured clean in real time winding down the clock
Alive at the Old Homestead eating fresh cuts of meat
Pigs on a farm plotting to save the world from bacon
Painting colorful creatures howling up at the moon
Spray painting graffiti on the side of a subway car
Suffering an addiction to video games on weekends
Relaxing on Sunday afternoon on the eve of destruction
Sunshine lighting our way into an uncertain future
Against the universe following a supernova
Swallowing goldfish for fun on Friday night
At ease laid back in front behind the crimson mask

11-23-12 The Jersey Shore In Mourning
Beautiful flowers flowing
In ancient graveyard gardens
Swirling spirits of ever present souls
Growing stronger in modern times
A cold dark empty shell of what was
Once upon a time before the storms came
Smashing the boardwalk to splinters
Completely destroyed in a single day
Silent voices laughing and singing in the breeze
No more music no more games no amusement
Fun times come to an end in a festival of sorrow
We all gasped as the roller coaster crashed into the ocean
In ancient graveyard gardens
Swirling spirits of ever present souls
Growing stronger in modern times
A cold dark empty shell of what was
Once upon a time before the storms came
Smashing the boardwalk to splinters
Completely destroyed in a single day
Silent voices laughing and singing in the breeze
No more music no more games no amusement
Fun times come to an end in a festival of sorrow

11-22-12 A Doorway To Dealy Plaza
If there was one day
where you could say
that the time travelers
finally got to us
then today was that day
when the history of humanity
was altered to change
the course of events
setting off a chain reaction
to manipulate the order
of time and space
in infinite ways

11-21-12 Heavy Metal Apocalypse
Horrific stupendous fabulous temptation
Marshmallow chocolate cookie crumble pie
Pollution territories off limits to living things
Mutant organism aquatic menagerie of monsters
Historical fabrications distorting visions of reality
Perceptions manipulated by elusive evil forces
Wooden sacrifice miracle foundation of high hopes
Harsh winter survival in freezing snowstorms
Mother's intuition instincts predicting the future
Nurturing love providing tender care for healing
Space aliens from another planet sending messages
Hidden knowledge passed along in secret circles
Days of black death as blood rains down from Heaven
Silent streets littered with skulls in piles of broken bones
Taco supreme salad surprise on the special menu
Red hot lava dancing disco star partying until sunrise
New states of awareness emerge from the ruins
Hope for the future rises from the ashes of a fallen world

11-20-12 Suspended Animation
Stuck inside a snapshot
trapped like a petrified fly
frozen in time for all eternity
deep into a momentary pause
stopped short in forward motion
then sealed off from the ages
untouched by global changes
unseen for many centuries
uncovered again by chance
then rediscovered in the future
and appreciated once again
through the eyes of tomorrow

bright ideas
like big trees
often grow
in total solitude
flourishing slowly
cultivated by nature
standing through the years
while each season passes
until one day
the full potential is realized
and their beauty is appreciated
as the world takes notice

11-17-12 Darkness After Doomsday
Racing towards extinction
In Eden after biting the apple
Destruction on the eve of creation
Wiped out in a wave of annihilation
A major power outage hit before
The fires started burning out of control
There was mass hysteria in the streets
Shortly after all the food ran out
When the virus started spreading
The cities became dark and deserted
Many survivors migrated north as refugees
Those were very sad days indeed

11-16-12 Home Sweet Hollywood
Big stars in your eyes
Homeless runaway children
Sleeping with junkies and prostitutes
Strung out on Hollywood Boulevard
Eating food from a large garbage can
In the alley behind a four star restaurant
Flash bulbs popping on the red carpet
Rubbing elbows with beautiful celebrities
Side by side for worse or for better
Luxury and poverty in bed together
Falling in love then falling out of style
Standing on line to get into trendy nightclubs
Filthy rich laid back wealthy wearing sunglasses
Cruising along the Sunset Strip on a warm evening
In a slick convertible sports car with the top down
Palm trees and sweet dreams swaying in the breeze
Killing time until the next big earthquake hits

11-15-12 Problems In Perspective
Sometimes small problems
Seem like big problems
And you go through life
Trying to figure it all out
Then you lose someone you love
And your perspective shifts
Suddenly those big problems
All seem so very small

11-14-12 After The Cover Up
destroy all knowledge
with a heat seeking missile
flash on the drone camera
video sabotage tactics
to erase world history
with a click and a switch
to pull the wool over
all of our eyes are blinded
without ever believing
what you can never see
or only what you were
allowed to see on the TV
with a heat seeking missile
flash on the drone camera
video sabotage tactics
to erase world history
with a click and a switch
to pull the wool over

11-12-12 Riot At The Amusement Park
Robots and raindrops
Stopping the machine
Cold sweats in between
The radical roller coasters
Soaring through the air
With your hair in fire
Starting to slow down
Before speeding up again
This ride is incredible
A free fall into oblivion
Catching you at the bottom
Before hitting the ground
Cotton candy soda pop
Super fun under a summer sun
Running wild through the park
Until you throw up on your shoes
Stopping the machine

11-11-12 One Year Later
Maybe it's time to move on
We tried it out but nothing happened
Seeds of inspiration did not sprout
No impact
No difference
No changes
No rewards
Looking out across the horizon
Standing out on the edge of a cliff
Dreaming about a new reality
When hard work doesn't pay off
It's tough to keep pushing forward
After all hope is lost in translation
I had a dream that I could use words
To create a new universe of language
And help people through poetry
But when those ideas all run out
It becomes clear that nobody cares
Is this how the dream ends
We tried it out but nothing happened
Seeds of inspiration did not sprout
No impact
No difference
No changes
No rewards
Looking out across the horizon

It's tough to keep pushing forward

But when those ideas all run out

11-09-12 Chelsea Hotel #206
Fresh snow down on Twenty Third Street
Hotel Chelsea home for the holidays
slowly up the steps of the old staircase
wrapped in hypnotic black steel railings
following voices that called out to us
we walked the halls with Dylan Thomas
chattering boisterously about modern romanticism
drinking oceans of words in love speaking whiskey
breaths puffing patterned sequences of poetry
doomed to remain cold and silent for eternity
fading away after eighteen straight whiskies
we round a corner
and disappear
into the atmosphere

11-08-12 Journey To An Alternate Universe
Lost in a cavernous wonderland
of fantastic mystery and magic
beyond those familiar territories
of boundless imagination where
incredible dreams transform into
amazing realities right before your eyes
and I hope we can live here forever
to forget about all the painful memories
of an unfortunate life spent struggling
now we're off to find our own paradise
transcending into an unknown space
where the atmosphere is joyfully sweet
as the excitement of a new frontier
sweeps us away from the same old story
into the open arms of our true destiny

11-07-12 Sinister Soul Seduction
The devil is here
look all around you
on the savage streets
down in the darkness
lurking in shadows
waiting to steal your soul
The devil is here
to make you do things
you thought you never would do
in ways you never thought possible
to make you serve loyally
by doing the devil's work
The devil is here
setting up the circumstances
deviously manipulating conditions
to further an agenda of evil
as you look in the mirror and realize
the devil is already inside you
look all around you
on the savage streets
down in the darkness
lurking in shadows
waiting to steal your soul
The devil is here
to make you do things
you thought you never would do
in ways you never thought possible

Lift your feet up off the ground
And sound the alarm bells out loud
Let your voice be heard across the air
Shout it out at the world with all your might
But don't say the wrong thing
Or else you might deeply regret
That you ever even opened your mouth
To begin with
And sound the alarm bells out loud
Let your voice be heard across the air
Shout it out at the world with all your might
But don't say the wrong thing

11-05-12 The Mighty Flying Elephant Show
Elephants flying on parade
through clear blue skies
over old Brooklyn town
What a great surprise we had
as it was quite a sight to see
those elephants flying on parade
High up above the skyline
through puffy white clouds
and over the sunny horizon
Never before has there ever been
a moment so amazingly incredible
as there was on that spectacular day
Until the elephants started dumping
massive loads of gigantic poop
raining down on crowds of people
Running for their lives as the dung dropped
in a sloppy storm of stinky poo all over
and old Brooklyn town was never the same

inspiration in our hearts
plagued by emotional breakdowns
influenced by the music of the universe
translating the sultry language of passion
reflecting the soul of the human experience
singing out loud on uptown street corners
wailing away in smokey downtown nightclubs
hanging out in shadows where lights are low
addicted to the fire and to the sounds of desire
plagued by emotional breakdowns
influenced by the music of the universe
translating the sultry language of passion
reflecting the soul of the human experience
singing out loud on uptown street corners
