10-27-13 Legacy Of The Modern Prophets

We blazed trails
We rode the dragon
We grabbed gold
We chased our dreams

Now it's time for the next generation
To light those fires once again
To seek out the grand adventures
And to swim in the waters of greatness

We must teach them well
We must guide them to their destiny





       

10-26-13 The Judgement Of All Mankind

Forked tongues of demonic possession
Lash and tear the mortal flesh of humanity

The Devil's evil plot to steal your soul
Shows no mercy under the spell of temptation

Hot whiskey sliding down your throat
Dying from the inside out with poisoned veins

Walking blindly through life oblivious
Hell has already risen to destroy our civilization




       

10-25-13 Free Food At The Truck Stop

Drop top on the ant farm car park
Animal intentions on the back end
Glitter sparkles twinkle and sprinkle
Luminous creatures floating nowhere

In the dark jungle of outer space junk
Teddy bears fly gracefully in tranquility
Spinning through bright stardust cycles
Weightless transitions through infinity

Fast asleep on the bus across town at night
Dead on arrival after meeting the dark spirit
Spiraling into oblivion on a Tuesday evening
Speeding towards a new horizon on a hot ride

Pictures of beloved families touch the heart
In the old country where nothing was easy
They lived another dream to bring us freedom
Until fast food pollution kills us all anyway




       

10-24-13 October Baseball

I'm just happy
to be watching
the last few games
of the season before
the long cold winter starts

I don't really care who wins





       

10-23-13 Scattered Characteristics

If you only had one dream
to carry around in your pocket
it would have to be illuminated
by tribes of warfare in the Bronx
on the front lines of the battle
against the future of modern life
lost in translation between transitions
flowing smoothly into the next phase
on howling winds of impending doom
walking all over the woods in a trance
flying with night birds beyond the stars
finding peace and tranquility in poetry




       

10-22-13 Goodbye Ghosts

The moon is full of mischief
But we've got a spooky solution
Get rid of the ghosts tonight
Send them back to the spirit world

Close the doors
Turn out the lights
Chant the words
Pull back the curtain

Goodbye ghosts
Go back to where you belong





       

10-21-13 Rock Paper Scizzors

I guess it wasn't meant to be
Strange electricity on the circuit
Plants in the window get sunlight
Full bloom fireworks in the stars

Cold winds blow in from the north
Oh yeah I forgot the world is ending
We were once the freeze tag champions
When summer camp was still cool

Self employed and overjoyed at home
It's a very lonely city when you're alone
Put the blame on an innocent bystander
Get out of town before the trouble starts





       

10-20-13 Whispering Waves

Sad colors
Washed out
Then fade away

Look up
In the sky
To find the sun

A quiet walk
Through the
Neighborhood

Take a chance
Lose it all
Then come again

Raindrops fall
In a silent breeze
Through the mist





       

10-19-13 Wild Children Of The Night

Washed in chocolate sauce
Inclined to dine outside the lines
Warm glass of dark red wine
Drenched in blood like vampires

The cost of living dangerously
Spent wisely on the company dime
Wired from staying out late every night
Ruthless in the race to survive life

Cold poison running through blue veins
Sharper than the blade of a steak knife
Immortal but cursed to roam the darkness
Misunderstood yet delightfully evil




     

10-18-13 Click Bait

Replenish your supply
Hide inside your mind
Support the local economy
Resist supreme commandments
Kiss your sweetheart on the lips
Turn on the transistor radio
Hang out on the boardwalk
Seek shelter from the storm
Breathe in the fresh air
Fall asleep watching TV

10-17-13 Conspiracy Of Poetry

Elusive scoundrels
Commiserating quietly
In the back of a saloon

Stardust warriors
Sweep off the rooftops
Violently dancing

Crack pipe car crash
Still kills me to the bone
Haunting my memories

Refreshing watermelon
Sunshine salad at the park
Cool cucumber crunch

Stock prices crash hard
So many people are out of work
Jumping out of windows

Cartoon candy sweet
Rocket ships and laserbeams
Fantastic voyages through time




         

10-16-13 Banksy In My Neighborhood

Honest pocket swordfish knowledge
Strength in wisdom power of energy
Develop strange routines at school
Destruction of unbroken daydreams

Rabbits living on the streets in Chinatown
Playing frisbee in the middle of traffic
Terrific solutions to ancient mysteries
Get down to the groove of magic music

That's when it all started to come to an end
Forward thinking march to the beat of tomorrow
Future stars growing out of suburban communities
Meaningless scientific experiments gone wild

Forbidden fruit on the menu for the wedding
Extra fun trouble in mind for a famous fire
Hidden meanings strategically positioned
Unlocking the secret engine of civilization

10-14-13 Locked Inside A Library

White paper turned yellow from age
Words flow in waves all over the page
Inspiration in the atmosphere around us
Ink pen furiously scribbling down notes

Secrets of philosophy encoded in poetry
Dangerous ideas hidden inside messages
Electricity crackles as sparks fly in the air
Revolution is brewing in the underworld

Writing transcriptions of our modern life
Fabricating sketches of daily existence
Snapshots of a specific moment in time
Before the dark storm descended upon us

10-11-13 Golden Shades Of Autumn

The leaves have begun changing colors
There is a cool chill in the fresh air
Cinnamon hot apple cider steaming up
Thrilling October baseball games at night

Halloween decorations hung all over town
It's getting dark much earlier these days
Fireplace chimney smoke blows in the breeze
Candles flicker in windows with a warm glow





             

10-10-13 Fireball Horseradish

Retrospective
Reflective
Reactive
Infective

I can eat
pumpernickel
pickles and
pretzel sticks

Staying up late
watching old
black and white
monster movies

I would
never vote
you off
the island




     

10-09-13 Chelsea Hotel #413

A blank check
for high madness
running rampant
inside a dark maze

Phantoms lurking
between dimensions
deep within shadows
burning down every room

Escape into consciousness
dripping from old clanky pipes
dropping down to another level
beyond the tangible world

The telephone rings
in the middle of the night
but there is no one speaking
on the other side



         

10-08-13 Slaves To Network Television

You all can't capture the freedom
Like we did once upon a time
Happily never after hours over
Ready to get started again now
In denial that any of this is good

Return to a life that used to exist
Don't forget to tip your bartender
Hit the skids every night after work
Crash into oblivion then do it all again
Stand up for the right things

Proud of what we all accomplished here
Together when we needed it the most
Checking out the latest train wrecks
Taking a dive off the penthouse balcony
Singing swan songs before you hit the ground

10-06-13 Secret Images Enhanced

Cotton candy clouds
inside your mind's eye
launched into orbit
astronauts from Mars
sending smoke signals
in a firestorm transition
between claps of thunder
sweeping across the land
surfing heavy game changes
inside a magic genie's lamp
building roads to a bright future
hunkering down in a dark cave
surviving a dangerous blizzard
surrounded by winter warfare
frozen in place without food
learning to live alone on the run
flying out to runaway from truth

Harsh spotlight shines in your eyes
Deep in the heart of the West Village

Seduction of innocence after the sun goes down
People do bad things when they hang out with me

But the object is to fool
The sheep into believing

While they steal our cash




       

09-29-13 Lazy Days In The Park

A quiet walk

in the neighborhood

on Saturday afternoon

Showered in sunshine

with birds chirping around

running through sprinklers

giggling with joyous excitement 

having fun digging in the sandbox

sailing on the swings and down the slide

laughing at the playground down the street

        

09-28-13 The Momentum Of Time

Through the span of many generations
Traditions carry on and they mean a lot
New ghosts materialize in the hallways
Energy echoes bouncing in the old walls

Symmetry of numbers in the stars above
Following footsteps through many decades
Walking in the shoes of our ancient ancestors
Facing forward toward the future looking ahead




       

09-27-13 The Purple Superfly

On a warm summer's day
The Purple Superfly came along
And stung me on my tongue

Suddenly everything turned
Strangely beautiful evil
Inside down upside out

Nothing was as it had been
Everything was not what it ever was
Still time seemed to stand still

Those old emotions
Resurfacing from the cookie jar
Unlocked memories down deep

Watching wild colors
Swirl in a spinning kaliedoscope
Like Buddhas in the blue skies above




       

09-26-13 The Stress Of Success

So many hours
Spent out in the hot sun
Inspired by hard struggles
In the mastery of this moment

Raw emotion shifting the transition

Effective production
Long days full of nervous breakdowns
Making money to live to make money
Climbing to the top of the game




       

09-25-13 Liquid Gold

Riding high with the top down
Sunset seduction under the influence

This is your time to shine in the story of light

09-23-13 Underground Truths About Immortality

Pretend to use your imagination wisely
Driving a truck across town at night
The ancient beings are still with us
Cold feet and wet socks in my shoes
Spiritual freedom inside the brain body
Warm metal oven handle in the kitchen
Deliver on the promises made at midnight
Under the table deals are running the show
Hot rods burning down the fast highway
Plastic bubble candy pop sugar sweet syrup
Wounded deeply inside my heart forever





     

09-22-13 Sunday With My Son

Looking up in the sky
At the airplanes
Flying overhead
You point at each one
And we both smile

Flowing flying live love jammed up

Midnight revelation shifting focus
Throwing kisses into the crowd
It was a great party in disguise
The chances are growing stronger

Boxes of happiness passed around
What a beautiful city we are in
Listening to whispers in the wind
Sweeping up the streets downtown

Little brains inside a giant universe
Various strategies for waking up
Action only comes as a last resort
Anger towards the establishment

There is a darkness here
A feeling that trouble is festering
An evil force that lurks in shadows
Growing stronger with each passing moment

Something bad is about to happen
Impending doom moving closer
Intense heat breathing in your face
Black clouds waiting to swallow your soul





     

09-18-13 Baby Puke

As I was getting ready for work
Our baby threw up all over the place
In his eyes in his ears up his nose on his face
So I cleaned him off and wiped him down

I hurried up and put on my jacket and tie
Ran breathless down to the subway platform
When I got on the train people made faces
I instantly knew that I smelled like baby puke





             

09-17-13 Hot Nights On The West Side

the day is fading away
heavy impulses take over
the night calls us to come alive
nightmarish excitement

yellow taxi cab invasion
skip the line and roll right in
flashes pop under sparkling stars
car horns honk as headlights shine

infected recreation on the avenue
under the influence of the silver moon
shadow moves flip out on the dark side
fast talk from the underground revolution

Shattered symetrical patterns

Slip past the creepers when sleeping

There can be something found inside
Anything worthwhile that can be
Identified as having a deeper meaning

Like ashes





     

09-14-13 Atlantic City In The Morning

All the good stars are aligned
And we run for the roses alone
When the time is right for mayhem
In a purple elephant's daydream

Hard work ruins all the fun
Painful sacrifice for the greater good
Cold coffee and stale donuts for lunch
Dark depression on a rainy Tuesday

Hot rolls out on the boardwalk
Free drinks at the casino left us broke
Running strong for the high stakes
Good luck on a cool winning streak

Turning slowly
Until it's too late

Rising to the top
Rewarded nicely
With a happy ending

A great cleansing event
Has begun to scrub the city streets

A cold wind blows in
Where our shelter has been built

By keeping warm and dry from rain

Prepare for the worst
As we all struggle to survive

Time to rebuild stronger
While we heal our deep wounds

Sitting on my brown couch
In the middle of our living room

Echoing through the halls if infinity
Right where I've always wanted to be

that was where
we went wrong

but with a few days left
this summer's song
has not yet been sung

thinking back to the beginning
it was wasn't right from the start
to live in your heart

inspired on the street
looking up at the sun
through a screen of
green leaves on trees

blue sky burning sun
red hot love in the afternoon
these days will be over soon

Hypnotic glow soothing peak
Cartoon candy curiosity at large
Radioactive ocean water on fire
Mutant fish developing intelligence

Tidal waves swallowing up the coastline
It's a beautiful day to spread some joy
Ultrasonic sound waves multiplied
The enemy is already here among us

The werewolf finally shows his face
Sharp fangs snarling at the full moon
Easy to see ghosts in an old building
Sailing away in a spaceship to Mars

Screwdriver merry go round
Butter on the knife at dinner
There's no more evil in the end
Strangers in the summer sand

Tougher than dirt on the ground

Splashing all over the sidewalk
Sunshine in the last late afternoon
Everything you told me was a lie

08-21-13 Don't Eat The Black Mustard

They warned us
not to eat the black mustard
but we didn't listen
and now we're breathing fire

It was so damn spicy
our tongues were burning
so hot we almost exploded
standing at the gates of Hell

They said don't eat it
but we ate it anyway
now our hot pastrami
will never be the same




     

08-20-13 Trapped On Devil's Island

When the sun goes down

before devouring your flesh
all wrapped up in your skin
then the real horror begins




     

08-19-13 Focused Like A Laserbeam

Fish face chocolate pepper report

Broken window butterfly fixture
Robotic mixture combined inside

Laying down some serious noise
Playing games with no regrets

Dreams in color between breaths

This is your punishment supply
Revenge from the tip of my tongue
Orange juice needs to be charged up
Wash down flat delight like ice

Make the switch beyond science
Physical contact put in context



       

08-18-13 Dinner With An Extraterrestrial

We sat alone
in a secluded booth
at a roadside diner
and he told a story
about another planet

and how no one will be safe
once the warriop armada arrives
to claim our world as their own
for the next phase of life on Earth




       

08-17-13 The Beauty Of Horror

Not worth the buffalo
To take a big chance
Back when hip was hot
Frozen forward in time
Broadcast live from Mars
Swinging jungle rhythms
Distracted by hallucinations
Involved in electricity wars
Digging up dinosaur bones
Cut out from solid rock caves
Cursed inside a hidden temple
Buried alive in the sunlight
Seeing through bloodshot eyes
Bringing good cheer back home
Let go of negative emotions

08-16-13 Wisdom From The Heart Of Evil

The knowledge you need

and bless the world with acts of kindness




         

08-15-13 To The Game

rolled up and tucked
underneath their arms
keeping score with pencils
on a steamy summer night

persist to exist in treasure troves
electricity station nap time on file

thunderbird in transition on fire

there are secret rooms that contain artifacts
powerful in deep shades of ancient magic
waiting for the day when it will be summoned

Beginning to think
In colorful triangles
Passing through tunnels

Hot sun hallucinations
Blood speeding in veins
Calm inside the storm
On lockdown at home

Political violence rages on
Sipping tea time in the garden
Frozen in suspended animation

Fireworks bursting high above
New York Harbor all lit up
Wanted posters all over town
Searching for a lost elephant

Of the ultimate shine
Devil inside you

Mermaids gracefully swimming underwater
Elvis drinking stiff martinis in paradise
Dinosaurs eating unicorns for breakfast





         

08-08-13 On The Night Before My Birthday

There was one year
drinking out at the beach
under a glowing moon
and Jerry Garcia died the next day

Golden sunrise in motion
speeding over the Queensboro Bridge
fortunate for what life had not yet taken
then my car battery died in the afternoon

Getting ready to drive far
leaving town headed down to Virginia Beach
glowing full moon rising up over the lawn
drenched in lightness on an August evening

Sitting alone in a diner
drinking coffee in the middle of nowhere
contemplating my place in the universe
quietly writing in a composition notebook

All these years later
I am happy to be at home with my son
watching him grow right before my eyes
and I finally know my place in the universe

08-07-13 Things From England

When I was a kid
there was a record store
in my neighborhood
called Things From England

They had a wide variety
of records and cassette tapes
I used to buy Led Zeppelin bootlegs
with my lunch money there

The guy behind the counter
told me that Nirvana was a band
long before Nevermind came out
and before they hit it big on MTV

Record stores used to be
great places to hang out
and talk about music
but now they are extinct




     

08-06-13 When Nobody's Looking

We are all animals
Wild and obscene
Thriving privately
Violently aggressive
Self motivated actions
Survival mechanisms
Following natural instincts
Alone in the universe
Struggling to reproduce
Fighting to stay alive



       

08-05-13 Deflated

One time I had a blue balloon
It was so big and bouncey
And I played with it every day
After a while it began to lose air
Slowly leaking a little bit at a time
Until finally it shriveled up and died



     

08-04-13 Opened Doors To The Spirit World

An unsettled energy
watching from shadows
the feeling starts to change
the atmosphere gets thick
as cool winds blow around
silent ghosts between walls
slipping through cracks in time

They opened doors
that can never be closed
behind transendental vibrations
traveling beyond boundaries
stuck inside timeless cycles
lost in the next dimension
existing in eternity




         

08-03-13 Dreaming Of Atlantis

Mermaids drift along the tide
Rays of sunshine break through
Deep below the water's surface
In the ruins of a fallen civilization
Down where the sharks prowl
Golden treasures submerged
Where kings and queens once ruled

I can see the horror in their eyes
Did I see this in a special dream
Or is this a memory from long ago
Buried underneath layers of time





           

08-02-13 At The Bottom Of A Whiskey Jar

Funky green passion
Camera lens cracked
Slaughterhouse sexy
Greed in the heart

Groove alone inside
Twisted beauty image
Ugliness growing slowly
Forgotten warriors denied

Free love for blood money
Wishing for golden fantasies
Dreams come true overnight
But the nightmare is upon us

Monsters in the ballroom
Dancing on your grave
Kiss your innocence goodbye
We are all prostitutes here





         

08-01-13 Spread The Word

The sharing
of wisdom
it is the
greatest gift
a person
can give




       

07-31-13 Loyal Enemies

In a puddle of mud
We find out who
Our true friends are

When a loaded gun
Is in your face
You know who not to trust

As the empire falls
The blood will flow
In the homes of your neighbors

07-30-13 Flip Around Crush Control

Zap bang boom zip
Foolish shock complex
Out of the park in sunshine
Grocery store strategy farm
Rhythm power vibration
Bloody itch ripped open
Soda pop crash action





         

07-29-13 Ice Pops

Hot Summer
Cherry Cool
Frozen Delight
Joy Of Heart
Special Treat
Sweet Surprise
Crystal Frost
Slick Dripping
Sticky Fingers




     

07-28-13 Angels In The Cathedral Of Elegance

go to oblivion inside
pain you can't ignore
rusted paint truck driving
home on the main road
chasing island breezes
strange animal encounter
religious experience
spiritual visitation
path to enlightenment




   

07-27-13 The Petrified Forest

frozen in place
silent and still
standing strong
in heavy winds
against the elements
throughout the ages
unchanged



   

07-26-13 Incomplete

we look at the picture
and someone's not in it

we put together a puzzle
but one piece was missing

07-25-13 Subversive Nightclub Politics

shark river soup dipper
flipper truck fly down
street fire car chase
superhero philosophy
access fortune wildlife
archive habitat adventure
fragile government structure
world economy up in flames
deadly summer substance abuse
secret clubhouse password
bacon chili cheeseburger pizza
falling in love with the ocean
professional zombie champions
setting sail on a sea of hot red lava
discovery of hidden message codes
dolphin language lessons on display
hardcore criminal element influences
underground family warfare story
controversial hot tub party photos
smokescreen mirrors reflect light
optical illusion image explosion
walking on water into the sunshine
souls escaping from outer space
sounds of screaming monsters
sacred artifacts with magic power
thankful for the gift of life





       

07-24-13 The Good Guys Always Win

I grew up in a time
when there were nice guys
who did good things for people

Those days are over
and nice guys are an antiquity
from an old forgotten age

But I refuse to change
I smile and I do the right thing
and I'll kick your ass if you don't respect it

07-23-13 Amplified Flavor

Savor the moment
Focus on the matter at hand

Take daily steps forward
To improve the quality of life

Create special works of art
For all the world to experience

Enjoy a quiet lunch
Sitting under a tree in the shade

Dream of big things
Don't be afraid to be ambitious

Fix those stupid mistakes
Before rising to the next level of excellence

Grab a seat on the subway
Then give up your seat to the pregnant lady

Listen to the message
Pass along what you have learned




           

07-22-13 Sweet Home

I want to live
in a house
made of candy

I'd lick
the lollipop windows
all day long




       

07-21-13 Paralized In Paradise

suffering in a place of beauty
numb all over instead of enjoying it
tough times struggling through
surrounded by peace and tranquility

terror strikes without warning
in a place where tropical breezes blow
crystal clear under sunny blue skies
in pain alone in the lap of luxury

07-20-13 Incantations From The Attic

The great hypnotic spells
From a long forgotten age
Can save the face of humanity
When plagues of darkness arrive

Silver tongue wishes of tranquility
Summon the strength of steel soldiers
To protect us from an evil onslaught
Sailing on winds of radioactive warfare

Sing songs of hope out loud into the sky
Listen for sounds of children laughing
From the heart of peaceful innocence
Untouched by the terrors of mortal reality

Call upon high spirits
solemn we obey orders
to follow golden warriors
deliver us to our destiny
