08-31-14 Convenience Fees Are A Scam

Instant access
At your finger tips
When you want it

Take a little piece
Then take some more
It all adds up

Charged in advance
Nickels and dimes and pennies
Accumulate like snowflakes

Silent destruction
Brewing up inside
Until it explodes

Slowly getting older
A little bit more worn
Wisdom from experience

Locked up in a vault deep below the fountain

08-26-14 If I Was Gone

So sad to think of
What would happen
To my son if I was gone

Who would dry his tears
Who would put him to sleep
Who would teach him

I would want him to know
That every day with him
Is the best day of my life

I would want him to know
That I have so much fun
When we are together

I would want him to know
That I am so proud of the
Little person he has become

I would want him to know
That I love him so much
Forever and for always

As flood waters rise
Mankind shall overcome

Watching the cars

Drinking a cold cup
Of hot black coffee
Sentimental and heartbroken
While the world keeps spinning
I take a deep breath
And stand still
Frozen in this moment

08-20-14 Slip Away

The sun sets
We sit quietly
Time passes
Watching it
Slip away

There's nothing
We can do

Reflecting
On the day
That has passed
And days
Which have passed
Before it

Looking forward
Towards tomorrow's dawn
Yawning before settling down
Left all alone in cold darkness

08-18-14 Summer's Last Stand

warm bubbles of paradise
sunshine splashing in waves
wake up in the afternoon
cold drinks up on the roof

salty sea waters down at the shore
taking deep breaths in the mist

then a cool wind blows on in
to remind us that nothing lasts
September is around the corner
and soon we'll all go back inside

Synthetic sounds unbound
Today was better than yesterday
Usual effects came across as dirty
The dogs are always out on the web

Walk out of here quietly
Without feeling shame
For what they have done

Stand tall and rise up strong
Get the movement rolling
Let the power of goodness
Guide you on your chosen path

An awful stomach ache

Flying alive on a high note

Enter a world of kaleidoscopes

Fast when you sleep in private
Slip into another door

It makes him sad
to think about the past

With a heart of gold
they sold him out
but he'll never cry
because he's robotronic

Demolition robot babies return
Fall asleep while watching movies
Sunrise brings another day

The lights changed colors
As the mood swing shifted
Weaving a tapestry in motion
Capturing the feeling of the moment

Before you forget all about it

Create another work of heart
Improvised right out of thin air
Special version recorded in time
Getting better with age like wine

laying in a corn field
deep in the cow funk
