01-31-16 Love Hate

Sometimes 
You make me so mad
But I still love you
Always

01-30-16 Invisible Monsters Chasing Moonlight

Outer space catastrophe
Motion of light intensifies
Long sustained sounds of change
On a hunt for fire in the jungle
Set sail on a brilliant adventure
Madness polluted the perfection
Developing dynamics of rhythm
Painting pictures of romantic evil
Energies expanding from within
Dark cold silence awakens life
Maintain the emotion of soul
Play fast to burn hot forever
I really love the vibe darling

01-29-16 Baby

Finding love
On a deeper level
Is the only search
Worth undertaking

Seeking love
Is the highest calling
And the passageway
To happiness

When I first held you
Close to my open heart
I instantly discovered
The meaning of my life

01-28-16 Death Rattle

home sick delirious
clogged up stuffed
swallowing razors
muscle ache twist
sinus congestion
pounding skull
pressure

nostrils leaking snot
sweating fever chills
suffering through pain
never get better again





   

01-27-16 Demons Are Stalking Your Soul

Darkness runs cold

Thick blood in winter

Sadness under the surface

The nightmares you imagine

Devils impress you with charm

To gain your sincere confidence

And when you let your guard down

They suck your spirit away

Pain is the only real thing

Evil has come early this season

Black magic wizards at work

Your fate is waiting for you

    

01-26-16 Let's Move To Hollywood

Someone called the paparazzi
You know you want to know about it
Spotlight shining in your blind eyes
Buzz among insiders says you're hot

A taste of glamour out on the town
Nightlife is always a wild party mess
Always the center of everyone's attention
In the eye of the storm on Saturday night

Hang out at penthouse parties
Beg for hand outs with rising stars
Drink free cocktails at private events
Die unknown in a trendy hotel suite

Someone else is always ready
To take your place on stage
Famous names are cheap
On the road to immortality

01-25-16 Seeing Beyond Tomorrow

Echo shock is in effect
Immediate control stop

Fragment of a monster world
Endless around the galaxy

Ominous beings hunt for prey
Hulking presence of destruction

Spirituality built inside machines
Emotional robots falling apart

Synthetic milk feeding the masses
No more time to waste trying to win

Bring back the dinosaur laserbeams
Look towards your future fantasy

01-24-16 Trapped In The Blizzard Of Doom

Disoriented and bewildered
Refusing to give up hope
Can't get your car out of it
Stuck in a deep snow drift
Rocking back and forth
Struggling to keep warm
You should be inside right now
Instead of risking your life
As you try to dig yourself out
Frozen toes and fingers tremble
Starting to feel numb all over
Snot running down your nose
Starting to get tired of trying
Snow blind falling down
Found stiff in a sheet of ice

01-23-16 Chelsea Hotel #123

Souls of the living dead champions
Rattling around in the heart of town
Vibrations from the future and past
Old friends we miss who are long gone

The bar at El Quijote still serves spirits
Drop in for drinks with gods of all creation
Fall in love with the romance of the universe
Walking where walls bleed artistic expression

01-22-16 Root Beer Float Haiku

Vanilla ice cream
Root beer in a frosty mug
Creamy foam on top

01-21-16 The Seven Day Forecast

Mostly Sunny
Clouds Increase
Heavy Snow
Blizzard Conditions
Flakes Linger
Rain Possible
Partly Cloudy

01-20-16 Gloria's Candy Shop

When I was a kid growing up
There was an old candy shop
Run by a lady named Gloria

I'd stop at the candy shop
To meet the other kids
While on our way to school

You'd see people drinking coffee
Playing their lucky lottery numbers
Buying packs of cigarettes and candy

On our way home from school
We'd stop at Gloria's Candy Shop
To buy baseball cards and comic books

Then one day Gloria sold the shop
The new owner short changed me
A chapter of my childhood ended




   

01-19-16 Stardust Foxes At The Glitter Factory

somewhere
floating on
thin air

lightning
electric groove
sunset strip

riding waves
fractured attraction
exploding kiss

live wire
sizzling hot
hotel lobby

mirror mirror
on the wall
ugly inside

saturday night
every night
all night

disco ball
family fortune
get rich quick

private jet
champagne showers
party time

01-18-16 Behind The Iron Door

Snowflakes falling
From a silver sky
Safe and warm inside
An antique theater

Locked behind an iron door

Where ghosts of the past
Perform in the shadows
Dancing between spotlights
In the warm glow of eternity

01-17-16 Whispering Neon Kisses To Palm Trees

Never get another chance again
Wizards of sorcery cook up trouble
Float to the boat in the bay today
Text book drama class monologue

Relative obscurity is a great cover
Busted on the other side of the island
Struck by lightning at the turn of fate
Love is a powerful word in your language

Communicate with the starry sky dwellers
Retelling old ghost stories from childhood
Monsters growling on the prowl in shadows
March of the giant wooden robot toy soldiers

Slam contest polyurethane politics quit
Spit on the ground where you were born
Shuffle along down the beach at dawn
Split for three years to find your groove

Patience in the moments of fury forever
Flip out over your new bathroom tiles
Take a long walk through the old woods
Discover your spirit in strange places

Rise to the occasion when spotlights shine
Together alone in a heartfelt tender embrace
Digital visions connected underground online
Capture the feeling of being young forever

01-16-16 Mexico At The Crack Of Dawn

Inside the engine
Trapped
Working
Through gears
Broken down
Shifting

Feel better
Or suffer
Through
The pain
And deal
With it

Dancing barefoot
On hot white sands
Splashing around
In cool mint waters

Musical solutions
Swimming in circles
Warm ocean breezes
Under the sunshine

Soft
Still
Quiet
Relaxed
At peace

01-15-16 Immune To Radiation Laserbeams

squeeze the spirit out
ingredients of greatness
jump into a new history
open to interpretation
high profile treasure
trendy downtown logic
meditation in the park
glamorous lifestyle shot
beauty sheets in the book
write it all down right now
swan dive into the volcano
take a trip into the future
caught up between streams
wasting more time away
something strange inside
odd suspicions surround
quiet sounds turned down
snake fire breakdancing
revenge of the spotlight
farmhouse field politics
search inside yourself





 

01-14-16 Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors

In a dark subway station
Standing on the platform
Next to a tall steel beam
Coated with layers of paint
Chipped in a rainbow of age
Like rings inside a tree trunk
Ageless beauty in plain sight
Always running late to work
Thinking about the weekend
Reading billboards on the wall
Filthy rats scurry across the tracks
Watching people rush through life
Delayed due to train traffic ahead

01-13-16 Afternoon Coffee Dream

Waiting for the sunshine
There will be a new day
I may not be around to see it
But it will come anyway

Middle of the week
Chocolate sweets turn it up
The radio playing our song
Roses and champagne flow

Dance on the silver moon
Silently out in a far off sea
Learning to live a free life
You'll never catch me

No change in your pockets
Good intentions in your heart
Stumble skip and fall down hard
But the band keeps playing on

Mermaids in the lagoon
Catch a yellow cab uptown
Fascination with big city life
Hot lights blazing under the stars

Love makes it all worthwhile
Don't forget about me someday
Remember all the fun we had
Feel it deep in your heart

Bad jokes sting real bad
I know it hurts under the surface
You are suffering inside tonight
But everyone else is suffering too

Raindrops falling outside
The windows rattle a stormy chill
This is the place to be either way
Warm up by the old stove

Running around the corner
Check in at the haunted hotel
Fast action on the new west side
Look around at the circus show

Build yourself a new reality
Create a place to make a home
Decorate the walls with pictures
Listen to your own music

Thirteen mysteries hidden
Uncoded transmissions discovered
Unlocked with the keys to imagination
Left open for future puzzle solvers

Serious shift to secret words
Turn around and look me in the eye
Red hellfire in burning sugar cookies
Nobody can die when they're cool

A golden ticket to bliss
Be careful or you might miss out
Unlock the door to your destiny
Kiss this world goodbye

01-12-16 Pennies In The Wishing Well

Say a quiet prayer
Make a birthday wish
Scream your voice out loud
Sing a song of hope




 

01-11-16 Messages In Bottles

Messages you send
Out into the universe
Travel infinitely around
Like sound in an echo chamber

Their impact can increase
Exponentially over time
Affecting unknown changes
In all kinds of unexpected ways

So send your messages out
Beyond the boundaries of home
Into the hearts of anyone listening
And change the world in your own way

01-10-16 When The Robots Invaded Earth

androids destroyed our atmosphere
and made it impossible for us to breathe
survival was no longer a realistic option
our cities were burning in piles of rubble

a small band of rebel fighters struck back
to defend our world from the evil invaders
they found a weakness in the robot armies
then destroyed the mothership connection

we rose from the ashes of our fallen world
now we struggle to build a new civilization
raising the children of tomorrow to live again
planting seeds to grow a garden of new hope

01-09-16 Winter Warmth

Cold stormy night
Snuggled under blankets
Reading bedtime stories



   

01-08-16 Overworked And Overwhelmed

I feel like I'm drowning
Way out in the deep ocean
Treading water for so long
Sink or swim gets real tired
Every time I come up for air
Something pushes me down

01-07-16 A Poem From Jupiter

Did you find your face
Celestial grin in outer space
Planetary sounds in colors
Galactic temple of the mind

Lightyears left to travel
Interstellar highways fly by
Easy to see the sunshine
From the top of the moon

One spaceman to another
Communicating without words
Sharing wisdom for the ages
Raging along the astral plane

Sleeping on the inside
Seeing the entire universe
Learn from experience
Then spit it all out

01-06-16 We Are An Endangered Species

Ancient animals
Hidden deep in the forest
Existing underground
Protected from progress

Mother Nature nurtures
All living creatures
Thriving in dark shadows
Growing in numbers

Then people screwed it up
Depleting natural resources
Destroying our environment
Dying out into extinction

01-05-16 The House Blend

Our initials
Are scratched
For eternity
Into the chipped wood
Of an old recycled table
In the quiet coffee shop
Where we first met
So many years ago
When we were simply
Young kids in love

01-04-16 A God In The Land Of Giants

A super giant from the sky
Arrives to find a tiny world
Discovered first by visitors
From a thousand years ago

The giant becomes a god
The people all go crazy
And we all live in peace
Happily ever after

01-03-16 Limitations Of Infinity

flood underneath a full moon eclipse
electric circus vibrations in the street
downtown kicks on a Saturday night
immortal dance kings in full swing

bathed in colorful lights flashing quick
wicked words crafted from raw thoughts
spilled out right across the floor tonight
eternity cannot wait for you to decide






   

01-02-16 Reality Is A Matter Of Opinion

intense pleasure machine
break down stubborn feelings
important stories told tomorrow
vacation masterpiece relax again
business as usual in the fire pit
terrivle casual relationship advice
crazy sanctuary animal release
into the wild we are unleashed
ghosts tell another tale in space
the disco queen has her exit strategy
all planned out in advance on the fly
my constabt pain is the pain you feel
we spend our afternoons wisely today
a little bit drunk but not drunk enough
the mystery joke is on you once again
you were born into this universe forever
artificial humanity will worship robots
we still refuse to grow up anywhere
eat drink sleep breathe sing cry explode
clash of ideas on the root of all evil spirits
weave your passion for changing the world
matchbox connection on fire swiping secrets
reflections of elegant designs for the future
expand beyond your simple horizon line
the birthplace of cool was never exposed
bathroom politics in the amazing world
imaginary fantasy creatures exploring
insane energies let go of the other parts
push down hard on the happiness button
ambitious without becoming too fanatical
appreciation for the things that matter most
summer vibrations getting even stronger
you are wearing your peacock colors out
it's not time for sleeping it's time for fun






   

01-01-16 Following The Light

Late to the party
Wandering through
Cavernous hallways
Down deep inside
Ancient catacombs
Searching for feeling
Glowing like a sun
Running to the heart
To become part of our
Collective consciousness
