09-08-14 Noises In The Closet

I'm not going up there tonight

Creepy crawlers will keep you away

Spooky ghosts scaring you seriously

Don't turn off the lights anymore

09-07-14 Surfing The City Waves

Under a moonlit sky
Back in the old world
Influenced by romance

Red wine spilled out
White table cloth destroyed
Wasted across the room

Tender juicy steak with butter
Falling asleep in a traffic jam
Proud to pass along the legacy





   

09-06-14 Sloppy BBQ Sauce Poem

Flowing waterfalls rushing
Cool summer breezes blow
Glory days that last forever
Feasting on chicken wings

Passages of time
Sweet memories

09-04-14 What The Bleep

Make more money
The old fashioned way
Chocolate syrup sloppy
Dinosaur pasta chomp
Cookies crumble blunder
Tumble rumble thunder
Target crunch chicken
One million days longer
Bleeped out words on TV
Politics are worse than porn
Stumble spin magic craft
Paranoid awareness alone
Widow's warrior heartache
Window through the yard
Get rich quick scheme
Empower your success




 

09-03-14 Lotus

Energy Flows
In Every Direction

Flowers Bloom
On A Winter's Afternoon

Fresh Air
Quietly Drifting Away



   

09-02-14 The Festival Of Forbidden Evil

Goblins dancing
in the dead of night
under darkened light
laughing in a circle

Libations flowing
at the celebration of evil
where the monsters live
and the wild beasts howl

Far away in the woods
an enchanting realm
is home to many creatures
undiscovered by humans






   

09-01-14 Journal Of A Dream Traveler

Stuck in the middle
When the sleep set in
Heavy relaxation
Deep dream state

Travel down the path
Into another journey
Of cartoon fairytales
Fascinating characters

Evil mosters emerge
From cold darkness
In the dead of night
Drowning in nightmares

Fade away into morning
Daylight peeking through
Comfort quiet in silence
Wake up in another world




   

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



 

08-30-14 Time For Peace

Send home your
Trigger happy
Soldier armies

They are
Not needed
Anymore

Melt down your
Endless supply
Of ammunition

They won't
Be useful
Anymore

Throw out your
Destructive
Propaganda papers

They will not
Read them
Anymore

Put away your
Blood thirsty
Swords and bombs

The time
For PEACE
Is now




   

08-29-14 Crack The Code

Initiate secret code sequences
For anonymous agents for change
Written inside the binding of a book
Hidden for a hundred years unseen

Eagle's nest is the golden key chain
Enterprise Challenger Columbia Atlantis
Send the discoverers back to the home world
Open the gates of eternal harmony and tranquility

Locked up in a vault deep below the fountain
Uncover the blueprints for human civilization
From ancient pyramids to the bottom of the sea
Pioneers from the stars planted the seeds





   

08-28-14 Summer Spectacular

Tall trees sway
Side to side
Dancing in
The wind

Birds chirping
Before the storm

Sifting through
Sand for gold

Afternoon downpour
Good deeds left undone
On your way down
Active until the end




 

08-27-14 Running With The Beef Jerky Mafia

Backwards track attack
Quick stab fuzz face slacker
Gas station hassle free snack
Salty sweet meaty delight

Out in front of Seven Eleven
Sucking on a cherry Slurpee
Driving over the speed limit
In a timeless bubble of youth

Survival food fast
Chewy pieces in the bag
Hustle without the headache
Feast for a night




   

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




     

08-25-14 Playground Haiku

Going down the slide
All the kids are having fun
On the jungle gym




   

08-24-14 Tea Leaves In The Stars

Across the ocean
Ideas will be born
The young prince
Shall fall from grace

Earthquake shakes
A great city destroyed
Human catastrophe
Broken civilization

Survival will decide
The fate of society
As flood waters rise
Mankind shall overcome





   

08-23-14 Summer Weekend Drive

Stop off
In New Jersey
to fill up
On cheap gas

Smooth glide
Drive faster forward
Past Yankee Stadium
Heading toward the bridge

Speeding through thecity
Around town all the time
Towards the Triboro Bridge
Crack Is Wack




   

08-22-14 Chilling Out In Front Of Dunkin Donuts

Watching the cars
Race down Queens Boulevard
On Friday night in the city
Waiting for the sun to rise
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




   

08-21-14 Cool Science In Outer Space

Ghosts of giant aliens

Swim in the universe

While frozen astro warriors

Fight an intergalactic octopus 

After the robot revolution 

Golden rocket ships battle

Light years ahead of speed

In the future of technology

    

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




   

08-19-14 The Truth About Humans

worst kind

of people



 

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

tropical ocean breezes whisper
new beginnings after the storm
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

A LOADED QUESTION WITH NO ANSWER
PEOPLE ARE ANGRY AND OUT OF CONTROL




 

08-16-14 Rage Until The Morning Comes

Late night crazy insane
Swinging from the ceiling
Climbing the walls
Howling at the moon
Cooler than a hot dog
Thinking faster thoughts
Speaking clearly enough
Inventing a new society
Fixing all the world's problems
Healing your tortured soul
Your hero is currently unavailable
Please try again later




 

08-15-14 Protest Movement Disco Songs

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

Don't let the status quo
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

08-14-14 Candy Shop Blues Train

Chocolate covered
gummy bears

Saltwater taffy

Multicolored gum balls
Licorice whips snapping

Tastes soooooo goooood
I could eat everything
And wind up sick with
An awful stomach ache

offering positive spiritual messages




   

08-12-14 As Raindrops Fall

Skies were darkened
As clouds rolled in

Tap tap tap tap whoooooosh

Those rains came down
Like never before
To flood the cities
And to wash away
The life that we once knew




   

08-11-14 The Comedy Of Sorrow

forget about it quickly tomorrow

08-10-14 Phantoms In The Dream World

Salvage what is left
Of broken chains
So far from trouble
Seeing fireworks
From outer space
Floating around alone
Hearing strange voices
Communicating quietly
On mysterious frequencies
Learning secret knowledge
From this strange universe
Then forgetting it all
When you wake up





   

08-09-14 Thirteen Shadows Of The Super Moon

Patterns on the grass
Warm summer breeze
There's magic in the air

Sweet lemonade smile
Baseball on the radio
Sitting in the cool shade

Cracker Jacks and Mountain Dew
Afternoon frisbee in the park

Good luck charms all around
The messages are loud and clear
Fortune fire under a blazing sun
Flying alive on a high note

08-07-14 Journey To An Alternate Reality

Ignore the word of deceit
Enter a world of kaleidoscopes
Colorful shapes of unknown patterns
This kind of time doesn't exist
The shapes of new realities
Little beings made of light
Beyond historical boundaries
Brutal existence evolving strong
Fast when you sleep in private
Slip into another door





   

08-06-14 Robot With A Broken Heart

It makes him sad
to think about the past
those old machines
are obsolete

Glorious stories
from back in the heyday
when he ruled the world
too young to be so old

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





   

08-05-14 Haiku Regret

Now you can't relax
The words have all been written
You can't take them back




 

08-04-14 Summer Pop Explosion

Fortune fancy frenzy
Chopping block mockingbird
Flying saucers hiding above
Underground civilization

Build a new bridge across
The dungeon of doom on fire
Hot pizza under the boardwalk
Salty french fries and ketchup

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



 

08-03-14 Notes From Nowhere Fast

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

Interpretations of specific themes
A new poetic language puzzle
Slap it all down on paper now
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





   

08-02-14 Keys To Tomorrow's Future

In the hunt for a new heart
Demolish the walls between
Two souls in love again

Trying to stay strong
Rolling in a nightmare
Wake up in the world
Twist the words around

charm of a bobcat

watching the sunset
laying in a corn field
deep in the cow funk

and the light will shine
    from within darkness
  and beauty sneezes

07-30-14 Afternoon Snack

My son watches
as I wash his raspberries
slowly placing them
in his little plastic bowl

It takes me five minutes
to wash them all
it takes him five seconds
to eat them all

And then
he asks
for more



 

07-29-14 Screams From Inside The Walls

gone out on the burner
same style hitless tonight
busy bust out seasonal high
opener on the long trail closer
segue back into total temptation
subject object everyday life
wearing thousands of suits
falling asleep on the subway
wake up broke with no shoes
career image reputation market
echoes in an old hallway mirror
zebra robots hunting for meat
candy store credit card addiction
true stories that won't happen to you





   

07-28-14 Let's Go Shopping

07-25-14 City Consciousness

When mind and spirit
are born as one force
a connection occurs
between the soul
and the collective
consciousness

Walking down Sixth Avenue
on a hot summer afternoon
in front on the library steps
eating a hot dog with mustard
drinking a cold can of soda
watching all the people
dodging traffic jams
still connected
to the collective
consciousness




 

07-24-14 Monsters Of The Universe

From out of the darkness
Evil lurks ominously cold

Under the full moon's influence

Haunted house sleepover nightmare
Tragic ghosts lost in a time warp

07-22-14 Tragedy At The Disco

It slowly slips away
One hit shy of almighty
Sunshine blind in sight
Sneak inside late at night

Crazy cool freak show
Dance your blues away
Smoke machine explosion
Then the phone calls stop

A devistating blow
That was unplanned
Now sadness seeps in
Go home crying

No chance for a win
With nothing to lose
You start to believe
Take your best shot
Suddenly you are hot

Now what are you going to do

so chewy
so crunchy
so delicious

melty chocolate chunks
cookies liquidate in your mouth
the perfect treat after a long day
I lick the crumbs off my fingers



   

07-19-14 Shelter Through The Ages

Plant the seeds of home
Set a strong foundation
Reinforce the walls

Cracks form in the cement
Wood gets brittle and dry

A solid structure standing tall
Through harsh winter storms
Ghosts of the past still remain

07-17-14 Damage

Direct hit on target
Major meltdown
Huge explosive element
A devastating scene
Mutual destruction
Fires are burning

She looked at him
With a sparkling eye
Her smile was glitter
His heart was smitten
Then she turned around
And walked away forever

Have another drink
No sleep for three days
Darker in the daylight
Chain smoking cigarettes
Pills will take the pain away
Still hurts so much inside





   

07-16-14 Being In A Dream State

Not quite asleep
Not quite awake
Staying up late
In a dream state

The key to essential wiggle room
Creative solutions present themselves
Travel through the raw wilderness
Lost in outer space on a mission

Looking up at the moon
Shooting stars from Mars
Rocketship to nowhere
Faster than ten light years

We know
How long
The fire
Will last



 

07-15-14 Rock Star In A Glass Tower

Throw it through the window
Smash some glass with a hot shot
Hit in the face with a line drive
A punch to the gut with a smile
Spitting out bloody broken teeth
The wind knocked right out of you
Razor blades dance inside the brain
Heartbeat of fury twirling around
Flip the couch over on the floor
Trash the room then walk away



 

07-14-14 Intercepted Flying Saucer Messages

Wandering home alone
On the galactic highway

Going into an asteroid field
Surfing the rings of Saturn
As comets zip through stars
Between suns and moons
Sucked into a black hole




   

07-13-14 Under The Spell Of The Super Moon

bathing in the warm glow of summer

07-10-14 Keeping It Cool On Fire

Stimulating radio waterfront wharf rat
Pizza command control on stolen luck
Warriors of the heart kill fallen angels
Fantastic technological drama returns

Cowboy culture on the lollipop farm
Sucking the life out of the underground
Straightened up off the cuff downtown
Awkward sadness flowing out the door

Dust clouds puff in the dirty summer
Heat rising to a level of high frequency
Blazing rays of golden red sunshine
Euphoric tones of ethereal mood music

Intelligent banter over scotch and soda
Bicycle convention going down in mud
Several very fine specimens of madness
Resurrected live on television tonight



 

07-09-14 Paper Airplanes Crash Landing

of voices
listening

At the playground
In our neighborhood

Diving down the slide
Climbing the jungle gym
Running around in circles
Chasing the ice cream truck




   

07-06-14 Photos In The Fire

But you have to move on

The memories are left behind
In a lonely shoe box

Ride into tomorrow
Holding the pain of yesterday

It never happened
Rewriting history to turn the page

 

07-05-14 A Poem About A Duck

O big white duck
with floppy orange feet
who used to come around
when I fed you bread
you would swim to me
from out of the blue
then you broke my heart
and the wounds will never heal




   

07-04-14 Slightly Sleeping Sound

dark moment frozen
under a warm blanket
protected from life
drifting into a dream

Eating solid chocolate candy bars




 

07-02-14 Intergalactic Travel Club

Planets turn like wheels
Around a fading sun
Twisted into a fiery spiral
Back in time sliding forward
Through the deep central rift
Riding in an amazing rocketship
Trapped with robots and monsters
Powering up to download science
Walking on the moonscape
Shifting to another dimension




   

07-01-14 Special Mystery Cheeseburger Mix

That will help mankind
Rise to the next level




 

06-30-14 Evolution Of Poetry In Motion

When I was a kid
I used to write
short poems on paper
with colorful ink pens

In high school
I used to write poetry
inside the margins
of my text books

In my college days
I used to type poetry
on an old typewriter
replaced by a computer

Now I sit here
posting poems to a blog
from a touch screen
in the palm of my hand




     

06-29-14 Surviving The Slaughterhouse

Every minute
the dilemma changes
morphing into
the truth out loud
sleeping on the subway
waiting for a break
trying to catch up
at the end of a long day
enjoy more of what you love




 

06-28-14 Patient Investment

A little bit at a time
So slow you hardly notice
But it all adds up to a lot
And soon you'll see it happen
Your work will pay dividends
Exponentially accumulating
Until small becomes large

When all the right things went wrong
Time for a cold beer

Smelling the fear
The smoke
The sweat
The life

thoughts preserved in the moment
memories recalled from yesterday
creative expression spilling out
endless pages of rambling words
spontaneous explosions of poetry
recorded for a frozen cold eternity




   

06-24-14 Odyssey Of Oddities

solid gold dance party
hostage rescue situation
kicking up high in the air
really good jobs out there

hideous monsters in magazines
zombie armies peeling off skin
confusion in the cockpit trouble
a rocket knocked down the plane

take more time to take more time
take your time to take your time
make more money to make more money
take more money to take more money

thirteen ghost stories in the dead of night
upstairs in the attic we hear strange noises
ominous music playing out of nowhere
windows into another level of existance

We had so much fun
When the sun shined bright
The lemonade was sweet
A majestic hawk flew above

We ate handfuls of popcorn
Laughing and singing songs
Dancing to the joyful music
Sharing in a great tradition




   

06-21-14 Down In The Dirt

Crazy cattle storm riot
Mud bath sun runners
Hide inside the old barn
Pitchfork switchblade

Dark streets on a hot night
Taxi cabs standing in a line
The scenes play out privately
Secret codes hidden in shadows

Organically grown fresh cream
A home stand in the old country
Buttered biscuits on the stove
Green green grass in the summer

Little chicks
Big piggies
Hard work
Tough dirt

In an alternate universe
On a variant timeline

Wake up late in the afternoon
Appreciate the gift of existence

In quiet
darkness drifting
Dreams of
symbolic meanings





   

06-17-14 Sky Pollution

kicking up dirt
particles in the air

wash off the slime
kiss the garden rose
with toxic breath
paving the road
to a certain death




 

06-16-14 Reflections In A Shattered Mirror

take the cash quick
run down the street
get away as fast as you can
don't look back

this neighborhood has changed
it's never easy to watch it happen
but it's not the same around here
these are not the same people

stolen golden precious jewels
broken hearts dipped in chocolate
somewhere in time lost in transit
reckless abandon wrapped in regret




   

06-15-14 Underwhelmed By The Sentiment

Leave it alone
Walk away
In shame

Undervalued

The cost of caring
Hurts pretty hard
Pain gets stronger

Unbeatable

Disregarded
Disrespected
Disconnected
Disappointed

Unbelievable

Sad feelings
Lost enthusiasm
Stopped caring




   

06-14-14 Remembering The Twin Towers

Sitting on the corner
Of Chrystie and Delancey
Looking up at the empty spot
Where the Twin Towers used to be

So much has changed
In the days and years
Since the towers fell
We can never go back

And I think about our neighbors
Who never made it home that day
I think about the families they left behind
Then I hug my son as hard as I can




   

06-13-14 Thirteen Honey Moons Rising

opposite energies attract
backwards forward
and upside down again
without any boundaries

explosions of experience
fresh from imagination
in oceans of inspiration
illuminated in twilight



 

06-12-14 How To Get Rich

fortunes rise and fall
homes are built then they crumble
invest in people




   

06-11-14 Robots In Love

gears and gizmos grind
programmed to receive
radioactive rewind mind
all together up in flames

tune in to the television
broadcast into the future
casting rays of illumination
into the dreadful darkness

their lightbulb eyes met
a strong connection set
uploaded between signals
rebooted by the spark

the laws of attraction apply
to the cult of men and machine
and I read it in a magazine
nature always wins in the end




   

06-10-14 Secret Meditation

total isolation
in darkness
contemplating
in silence

simplicity
frozen in time
floating away
weightless

everything
and nothing
always never
existing

06-08-14 Queens Boulevard On Sunday

We can go anywhere
Across town on the local bus
Or by walking down back streets

Stop for ice cream
On the way home after a long day
The cool sweet refreshment chills me

Sprinklers spraying water
At the playground in the afternoon
The children are laughing as they play

A calm stroll around
On a warm summer evening at sunset
The neighborhood is crackling with excitement





   

06-07-14 Summer Carnival

Pony rides
Cotton candy
Bouncy castle
Water slide

Green grass
Warm sun
Cool breeze
Children laugh



 

06-06-14 Coffee Coma Daydream

Searching for a great place in time
Flipping through old golden photos
Remembering those wild memories
Finding the true meaning of existence

Burning for a hot chance to cool off
Bouncing back from serious injuries
Swimming deep inside wounded hearts
Falling asleep on the subway platform




 

06-05-14 Kentucky Fried Humans

When the Martians attack
They'll land in the cities
And fry us alive with their
Radioactive laser ray guns
Then they'll freeze dry us
And dip us in a secret blend
Of magical herbs and spices
To ship us all off to Mars
For their annual holiday feast
When the third moon rises up
Over Saturn's dark red horizon
At the beginning of eternity

06-04-14 Manhattan Civil Court Date

Cold rainy morning
The long subway ride
Stop and go on the local line

Grab a quick cup of hot coffee
Drop in a handful of ice cubes
Add some sweet sweet sugar

Walk past the Nine Eleven memorial
Remember that day like yesterday
Take a moment to pause and reflect

Enter the courthouse at nine
Go through the metal detectors
Belt buckle sets off the alarm

Gulp down all the coffee
Before entering the courtroom
Get ready to kick some ass



 

06-03-14 Leap Into The Deep End

Step right up
Grab on to the rail
Inch a little bit closer
Look down below
Wait patiently
It's your turn next
Stand on the platform
Take a deep breath
Put both feet in front
Scream out loud
Close your eyes
Take a dive




   

06-02-14 Four Phases

Wave action
Still quiet
Beautiful
Cool breeze

Hanging out
Still young
Beautiful
Cool kids

Living well
Still crazy
Beautiful
Cool cash

Survival code
Still alive
Beautiful
Cool future



 

06-01-14 Salt Water Taffy Haiku

Sweet boardwalk candy
Always gets stuck in my teeth
Tastes like summertime
