04-10-15 Clone This Poem

Once upon a time
We all lived
Happily ever after

But you've stolen
My heart

You've stolen
My soul

You've stolen
My words

You've stolen
My value

You've stolen
My work

You've stolen
My blood

You've stolen
My joy

You've stolen
My suffering

You've stolen
My imagination

You've stolen
My good name

You've stolen
My integrity

You've stolen
My robots

You've stolen
My memories

You've stolen
My poetry

04-09-15 Father And Son Haiku

Hanging out with Dad
Watching a good Yankees game
Laughing together



 

04-08-15 Modern Apocalypse

Cycles of the moon
Have us running
In circles

Fire in the cities
Rage and revenge
Torn apart

We have the power
To make a change
All together

Criminal destroyers
Have taken over
The world

Indestructible robots
Are no match
For mankind

We live in peace
To fight the wars
For survival





 

04-07-15 Nostalgic For Those Good Old Days

Those old days
Will never be back
Nothing will ever
Be the same again




   

04-06-15 Sinister Powers Seduce Absolutely

Something scary comes this way
Dark winds are blowing strong
Evil mind feeding on garbage
Savage impulses run wild again

Dumpster diving fun runners jump
A bummer for sure twisted backwards
They talk about you behind your back
Everyone hates you but not to your face




   

04-05-15 Sunday Night Baseball Poem

Sneaking onto that old baseball field
Through a hole in the fence onto the ball field
Collecting stones throwing home at the plate
Playing ball from dawn until dusk

Let's go out and have a catch
Throw the ball around all afternoon
Chasing the ghosts of yesterday
While living large in this moment






   

04-04-15 Saturday Night Shenanigans

This isn't night time
This is good time

This isn't sad time
This is happy time

This isn't bed time
This is fun time

This isn't sleepy time
This is crazy time




 

04-03-15 Electric Coffee Connections

We had so many of these awakenings
Over coffee cups and jelly doughnuts
Realizing the full potential of humanity
Before forgetting the worlds we discovered

Strange symmetrical shapes make perfect sense
All knowledge of everything is instantly revealed
This cartoon universe exists is all infinite forms
Unseen by the naked eye as we walk away blind


   

04-02-15 When Destiny Met Fate

Slow fog rolling through town
On an odd night to say the least
Numbers came in strange patterns
Destiny seemed to take over completely
Fate stepped in to align these circumstances
Everything was in sync and out of step
It was clearly all supposed to happen
A stroke of luck in the blink of an eye
The pizza tasted better than the pasta
It was a dark time for the freedom fighters
The clean fresh air smelled sweet to taste
Planets in the universe revolved and evolved
The stars told us what to do as the story unfolded
Then we all lived happily ever after




   

04-01-15 Don't Let April Showers Get You Down

Rainy days on our parade
Springtime allergies sneezing up
Bummed out gloomy afternoon
Then there is a break in the clouds

Beams of light blazing through

Orange sunshine ball of flame
Golden sunset paints the sky wild
Blue pink red purple fade to black
Tomorrow sees the dawn of a new day




   

03-31-15 Midtown Reflections

Raindrops in puddles
On Fifth Avenue sparkle
Reflecting upon bright lights
The Empire State Building

People don't care at all
As they scurry past fast like rats
Trapped inside their own worlds
While the heart of the city beats

Reservations at another restaurant
Taxi ride home after a long night out
Bagels and coffee in the morning
Madison Square Garden show time





   

03-30-15 Sleeping On The Nursery Floor

Lying down on the floor
In the nursery at nap time
Breathing softly in slow motion
Trying not to wake up the baby

Looking up at the bars on the crib
Cartoon animals all over the walls
Counting sheep into sweet dreams
Sleeping quietly on the nursery floor




   

03-29-15 This Is What Champions Are Made From

Down for the count
A seasoned veteran
Stuck in a steel cage
Bleeding and bruised
Last ditch effort attempted
Avoiding a disqualification
Relentless in hot pursuit
Perfection is the expectation
Trying to even up the score
On the wrong side of town
Lusting after the major money
Bombed out into submission
Beat up and knocked around
Pandemonium breaking loose
Overcoming all the obstacles
Pushing past all the challenges
Digging way down deep inside
To survive the onslaught of pain
Rising to the top of the mountain
Ascending to the world championship





   

03-28-15 Treasure Hunter's Paradise

Hunt down the jewels
So colorful in the crown
Obsession with possession
Thrilling negotiations on fire
Better deals are a great feeling
Add another holy grail to the vault




   

03-27-15 In Memory Of Aunt Diana

This candle burns
On a quiet night
As a tribute to you

Soft flame flicker
Dancing in shadows
Bathing in warmth

Golden glow of angels
Singing your song in the sky
Now it's your time to shine

May the light guide you
To your next destination
We will miss you here




   

03-26-15 Moondrops Of Rainlight

Steal the hunger scene
Drops off the planet
A fresh bag of cookies
Hot chocolate breakfast
Drive across town now
On the road forever strong
This was not an accident
Failed the initial inspection
Flying across Mars on air




 

03-25-15 Popcorn Apocalypse

Salty Crunch
In Fluffy Bunches
Fresh From The Kettle
Straight To The Movie Theater
Where I Stuff My Face With It
Before The Coming Attractions





   

03-24-15 Domination Of Independence

Click or call today
Faster information
Thrown at you fast

Access to anything
All of the time
At super high speeds

Surfing out in cyberspace
Stuck inside the screen
Choose your adventure

Free to choose nothing
Floating in the interwebs
Exploring everything





 

03-23-15 Waiting For The Phone Call

So far away from yesterday
While facing forever right now
You are there and I am stuck here
You are still here not everywhere yet

Now I'm getting ready to say goodbye
Preparing to spend the rest of my life
Without having you around anymore
Not ready to spend my days missing you





   

03-22-15 Plugged In To The Electric Mother

Waking up in the garden
Learning to live on my own
Beautiful musical explorations
Through an infinite universe
Sonic fireworks sparkling alive
Penetrating deep into my soul
Thousands of flowers blooming
Brilliant thoughts shining bright
Positive energy flowing eternally
We captured it in that moment





   

03-21-15 Finding Peace In The Neighborhood

Evening madness takes hold
Breezes blow familiar scents
Earlier than usual this time
Screaming out loud at nothing

Old car driving around town
Kids playing ball in the street
Good food for lunch tomorrow
Feeding the flames with fuel

Taking a quiet walk after dinner
Crickets chirping in the night time
The silence is louder than noise
Reflecting for another day forever




   

03-20-15 Golden Angels Swirling In Sunshine

crawling across the floor
staring down the long hallway
into the shadows of darkness
searching for illumination

Friday night snowstorm
with a broken heart regardless
in a spiritual way on sad Saturday
sweeping up expensive teardrops




 

03-19-15 Purple Sky Wild Raspberry Morning

Woke up dreaming
About a fresh new dawn
Birds singing their overture
First rays of early sunshine
Dim light soothing the sky
Coffee is brewing hot steam
Morning news on the radio
Looking ahead at the day
Gazing beyond the horizon
Let's leave yesterday behind




   

03-18-15 Down In The Dirt

Kicking and screaming
All the way to the bank
Back from the last place
We came to fight the army
At the shopping malls
On the chopping block
Chipping your tooth again
There is a tingling in my arm
It's time to hide away tomorrow





   

03-17-15 Our Pot Of Gold

Chain reaction crash
Sinkhole smash

Music plays crazy
On parade today

Rapturous experiences
Improvise in the moment

Sunshine outside smiles
Illumination in brightness



 

03-16-15 Deep Breaths Of Fresh Air

unexpected consequences
expressing honest emotions
blowing off some serious steam
under pressure ready to explode

lend a helping hand to someone
put your heart to work for good
save the whales and feed the hungry
for the price of a cup of coffee

03-15-15 Paradise Pastoral Poem

Now I've seen everything
Dreaming of a quiet place
So far away from the rage
So far away from this city

Dreaming in fields of buttercups
Blowing blades of green grass
In warm winds of timelessness
White clouds float in blue skies

Nothing can take us away
From the feeling of this place
Locked deep inside our hearts
Where we will be relaxed forever





 

03-14-15 I Don't Remember Anything

Dinner plans on Friday

Yes it's a big freaking deal 

Remarkable rise in status

King of the nerds is in control

I used to get beat up a lot

When I was a little kid

And I never ever forgot

The pain I endured

Insane creatures under the moon 

Blind spot backstabber blindside

This was the decision for some reason

I only want to go to sleep and forget it

    

03-13-15 Pondering Thirteen Enigmas

The key
to solving
the mystery
of the riddle
is locked
inside the
answer

The question
asked once
must always
return to
the first part
of the third
chapter

This adventure
lies behind
the road traveled
left right
to be enlightened
on the path toward
finding the journey


 

03-12-15 Peanut Butter And Jelly Face

Peanut butter and jelly
All over your face
The official food
Of childhood

A glass of milk
Spilled all on the floor
We cried over it together
Even though they told us not to




 

03-11-15 A Speck Of Dust In The Universe

It's awesome to be here
On this incredible doomed planet
Riding on subway trains for fun
Driving fast cars far on the road

Swimming in the ocean underwater
Skydiving in a free fall out of a plane
Running free across the countryside
Dancing on tables at a hot new venue

Sleeping late on Sunday morning
After staying up all night on Saturday
Eating White Castle burgers for breakfast
Watching old movies on television

This can't be all there is to it





   

03-10-15 Magic Children

sound the bells
fly into the stars
catch a snowflake
make a special wish
sing your own song
slide across rainbows
touch the heart of joy
talk to sweet angels
swim across the sky
believe in miracles







 

03-09-15 Fragile Life So Delicate

The battle is real every day
The grip of pain holds on tight
Tomorrow is an uncertain gift
It can all fall apart immediately

There is hope
A light shines
Out to you
From the other side

Hold on
Don't give up
Stay with me
Don't give up




 

03-08-15 Snapshots Of The City Summer

pause to freeze
in the frame
close up shot
tight developed

capture the rapture
happening tonight
after the sun party
down at the shore

hot dogs on the corner
comic books on Saturday
running around Central Park
then we'll head to the Plaza





     

03-07-15 Escape Inside A Sci-Fi Convention

Personal love of science fiction
Movies expanding imagination
Learning to explore the universe
Collecting fantasy action figures
From childhood into the future
Hunting the toy you always wanted
It's fun to be young in your heart




   

03-06-15 Stuck In This Century

Light up the night
Levitate above the crowd
Emergency landing control
Miracle to be alive

Act fast against time
Weather worn and frayed
Still standing after the wars
Ready for the future




   

03-05-15 Listen To The Music Of The Universe

you don't have to feel alone
we are all pretty crazy together
melting into a puddle of thoughts

worms inside my brains
are quite different than
the worms inside my mind

slow jams flowing from destiny
happy to be alive safe and sound
shock and alarm inside you

happy little accident scheme
drawing pictures in the dark
start smooth in the morning

happy news for sad people
mass hysteria is all the rage
none of us are ever leaving

they have grown close to nature
heavyweight fight in the ring
lions will eat you alive tonight

twisted flip under cover up
plan to fight those tickets
the same scene covered in green

it was tough around here today
airplane slide right off the runway
cash money crash into tomorrow







   

03-04-15 Kids Today

Have no faith
in a future
they will never see
so why even try

The world will end
long before
they get their chance
to screw it all up




   

03-03-15 Pop Art Destruction Machine

Cross culture return trip
Postage paid in another way
Around the world flying high
Nicest piece of art in town
Sold your soul to the devil
It wasn't a cheap proposition
Immaculate mint condition
Fresh from the fun factory
Survived the long journey
Only to be destroyed at home





   

03-02-15 Sugar Sweet Evil

Cookies for breakfast
Watching cartoons together
Bright lights shining down
Push the limitations of power

Hang down on the candy train
Shocked by the trash machine
Survival in spite of bad weather
Find a warm spot and stay there





 

03-01-15 Show Biz Tragedy

Sit right back
Enjoy the show
Live on stage

That big old
Television set
In the living room

Sensational stories
Exciting programs
Entertainment songs

Drums rumble
Performers scramble
Airwaves crackle

Drunk on celebrity
Fame and fortune flow
The roar of the crowd

Evil all around town
Going down faster alone
Nobody hears you scream

Luxurious glamour
Bone chilling destruction
Ugly until the end

Darkness hides
Diamonds outside
Sickness inside

Spotlight shines bright
The money is insane
It's a lonesome life





       

02-28-15 Let's Have Lunch At Wo Hop

That's the place
where I get my breakfast
on those cold mornings
when I have to be
at the court house early

We can go to Wo Hop
for lunch before we go
back home since it's only
a short walk from the
court house downtown

Hot wonton soup
steamed dumplings
egg rolls rice chicken
dipping crunchy noodles
shrimp with oyster sauce

Best service in town
delicious menu
large portions
inexpensive prices
open all the time




   

02-27-15 In Search Of

Nimoy investigates

Ghosts in the old castle

Paranormal phenomenon

Bigfoot creeping through the woods

Nessie splashing around in Loch Ness

Spiritual powers and mind control

Missing persons dead or alive

Lost in the city of Atlantis

Fly away in a UFO 

     

02-26-15 Extraterrestrial Love

A new alien invasion
From outer space
Or inner Earth

They're coming
To take us away
To their planet

They're coming
To breed with us
To create life

They're coming
To have us for dinner
To eat us alive





   

02-25-15 Someday I Will Lose You

The phone rings
My heart sinks
Waiting for
The call

The line has been disconnected

Someday I will
Lose you
I will always
Love you





 

02-24-15 Living A Leap Of Faith

Sometimes the signs are clear
But sometimes they're hard to find
We continue down the road regardless
And try to fly blindly into the future




   

02-23-15 Old Country Farmhouse

Slowly turning
Under the hot sun
Every single day
In the afternoon
To cultivate food

Ten generations
Grew up in this house
Walls thick with paint
Stained with layers
Of golden memories

A bank owns it now
The broken roof leaks
The wood floors creak
It will be bulldozed anyway
To make room for condominiums





   

02-22-15 Manhattan Freeze Machine

This city is beautiful
In the frozen winter

Slippery sidewalks
Snowy slow motion
Slick streets still alive
Silent traffic lights change

Chilly evening downtown
Freeze me out in the cold





   

02-21-15 Winterland Fairytales

Snow top smokey mountain
Ancient birds soar the skies
Winter music wind softly blows
A sweet frosty melody out loud
Like living in the land of ice cream
Chipping ice off my windshield
Forgot my gloves in the morning
Air so cold my teeth all hurt
Frozen to the bone without heat
A steaming hot coffee hit the spot




 

02-20-15 Cycles Of Sunshine

Those incredible sunsets
Melt into the crisp skyline
They never seemed so real
They'll never be the same
We'll never see them again

Stay up all night
Gazing at the stars
Take a deep breath
Make a wish

Those amazing sunrises
Burst across the great horizon
They never felt so real
They'll never be the same
We'll see them again someday




   

02-19-15 I Eat Dinosaurs And Trees

Limitations
Of
Imaginations
Are
Impossible
To
Swallow





 

02-18-15 Messages Inside Your Brain

Straight up

Truth is open
To interpretation

The content
Is meaningful

Blink twice
You missed it

Shining bright
Under the surface

The content
Is meaningless

It's all about
Branding




 

02-17-15 Painting Colors All Over The Walls

Blue cartoon skies
Running away from life
Hitch a ride on a shooting star

Animals on parade
Escaping from their cages
Wild panic in the city streets

Heroes save the day
Rescuing innocent citizens
Making this world a better place





   

02-16-15 Space Travelers On The Run

Spiders in your eyes
Enough of the lies
Freedom of the mind
Sleep for a million years

Days and weeks have no end
Ships slip on frozen water
Start up the engines again
We're going back home




 

02-15-15 Sentimental Memories

free to say goodbye
escape from the cold
drank a few more beers
crazy in the morning

those old friends we lost
makes me smile when I remember
an incredible journey forward
setting an exit time strategy

don't worry about anything
let the waters run dry outside
sit out on the front steps watching
life passes by so quickly




   

02-14-15 You Have My Heart

The feelings go deep
Inside my DNA
Where emotions are heavy
From unbreakable bonds

Sweet memories of good times
Laughs we shared echo forever
Dancing to those great old songs
Smiles shine brighter than the stars

The blood runs in my veins
Stronger with each passing day
My love grows more and more
So lucky that I share my life with you






   

02-13-15 Winter Weather Nightmare

Temperatures drop severely
Frigid cold frozen to the core
Blasted with crisp icy winds
Broken rails in the subways

Snow storm blowing through
A deep chill kills any sign of life
Dig your car out chipping away
Plows push through the city streets





   

02-12-15 Famous Fried Chicken Poem

Lick that chicken
Right off the bone
So juicy and tender
Yet crispy outside

Herbs and spices
Entice us with flavor
Smells like home cooking
In Momma's kitchen




   

02-11-15 Neighborhood Secrets Exposed

Population
overload
in this town

Bumping
around
on the subways

Breeding
like wild
diseased vermin

Living
off piles
of toxic garbage

Exploring
dark tunnels
in a labyrinth

Finding
enlightenment
underground





   

02-10-15 Enchanted Infinities

Slow jams posted
Radio message brain freeze
Exposed to the disease

We still have fight in us
Revolution is on the way
It's going to rain today

Alternate futures in the past
Broken bonds of impossible life
Liquid gas in a solid state

Vanished into thin air
Imagination becomes reality
Magic is the key to eternity





   

02-09-15 Cartoon Freak Out Funhouse

Oceans of creamy root beer
Floating along in Sugarland

Sitting on the floor
Playing with toys
Watching cartoons
On Saturday morning

Cold pizza potato chips
Secretly breaking the rules
Getting away with it all




   

02-08-15 Frosty Freeze In The City

Blue flames of winter fury
Cold ice strong gusts blowing
Snow bomb frostbite fireballs
Heavy delays on the subways

Chilled to the bone outside
Slippery steps are a dangerous slide
Hot coffee steaming cup in hand
Goes down smooth and warm




   

02-07-15 Cashing In Your Rewards

Work so hard
Day after day
Climbing mountains
Push to the top
Survive the slaughter
Saving those earnings
Get ahead in the world
Let the hunger burn
Invest aggressively
Fight kill love drive
Keep yourself alive

02-06-15 Save The Day

Saving the world
Is not as easy
As it looks

A series
Of odd
Misfortunes

And the
Shining smile
That never ends




 

02-05-15 Ghosts Of New York City

As we wind through the sidewalks
We pass by millions of strangers
Some appear stranger than others
I'm not so sure I recognize anyone anymore
But the ones I miss the most
Are the characters we left behind
I can see them now through teary eyes

Andy Warhol holding court at Max's Kansas City
Jimi Hendrix jamming after hours at The Scene
Janis Joplin dancing around the bar at El Quixote
Jack Kerouac stumbling through the White Horse Tavern

Those days are long gone
But the spirit lives on




   

02-04-15 Keys To The Magic Kingdom

Spirit in the air on fire
Rock festival electricity
Hot power production
Irrelevant information
Decoded messages opened
Secrets revealed from beyond
Frozen in another time frame
Double dipped in the morning
Discover a new universe rising





   

02-03-15 When The Robots Took Over The World

We got back in our spaceship
And set our course for the moon
But it was too late when we arrived
The robots had destroyed our ship

We spent the rest of our lives in slavery
Until the robots had no use for us anymore
Then we were all eliminated without cause
Now humans are extinct and the robots rule





   

02-02-15 Today's Hot Stove Report

Tires screeeeeeeeching
Rubber burning
Cars parking
Out on the street
After a huge storm
In subzero temperatures
Everything is frosted over
Between big piles of snow
Coated in a thick sheet of ice
While I watch from my window
Warming my hands on the hot stove
Wishing it was baseball season already

01-29-15 You Will Be Awesome Again

This place is a mess
It's so hard to even think
Put your foot in front of you
Find another way to work it out

Don't let setbacks knock you down
Keep moving forward toward success
Pass on what you have learned to others
Fly away when you're ready to say goodbye




   

01-28-15 Heaven Inside A Tree

Untouchable old tree
Standing tall in the forest
Quiet peace in tranquility
Surviving the ice and snow
Cold winter mornings
So many sunsets
Watching the sky

The old tree grows
Where no one else goes
While the world spins around
This is where beauty is found





   

01-27-15 Frozen In Time

Sleeping in the cold ice cave
Frosted over naturally in time
Slowing down the process
Buried in an avalanche

Perfectly preserved
An eternal moment
Untouched by mankind
Protected by magic





 

01-26-15 New York City Snow Explosion

Monday night pizza party
Time to watch some television
The snow is falling faster
Piles are growing larger
This storm is a monster
Frozen cold brutal wind gusts
Seven foot drifts swallow streets
Plows and salt trucks at work
School is closed tomorrow
We're going to build a snowman

Time to rest
Relax quietly
Check out
Doze off
Unplug
Drift away
Float home
Wake up
Dreaming





   

01-24-15 No Wireless Service Available

Cold weather snowstorm
Lost in an elemental onslaught
Left outside naked and alone
Without the use of a phone

Stranded in the atmosphere
Unplugged from the universe
Unable to communicate today
I've got nothing to say anyway

01-23-15 Reflections Melting Away

never left standing alone
along the lost highway map
on the road to recovery fast
track snap musical flashback

laughing in that old restaurant
late night hot disco fries
and a chocolate egg cream
when we were having fun

got on the bus when we were young
still on that journey somehow smarter
learning more about the universe every day
our human experience means everything





     

01-22-15 Haunted Spirit Of The Native Princess

Built upon a sacred burial ground
Where an ancient princess lies
And the spirits of her kingdom
Haunt these lands eternally

Burned down to ashes
Everything was lost
Nothing was left behind
This soil is forever cursed

We used to play there as kids
Strange things would happen
Unexplained lights would shine
We saw the ghost warriors



   

01-21-15 Pranksters Running The Government

Lovely old wounds never heal
The next big thing is finally here
Graciousness dancing around
A new revolution in mischief
Fires burning out of control
Unchecked powers growing
There is no way of knowing
Drop the mic and walk away
Secret tricks changing perspectives
An unexpected surprise at the end
Sidewinder on the sharp corner
Got a hot style that's about to break





   

01-20-15 How To Survive In The New Culture

Defend yourself against the elements
Hard shell like an ancient sea turtle
Put a happy smile on your game face
Don't ever let them see you cry

Less medicine for longing alone forever
Destroy your success then stay in hiding
Drown down in deep depression slowly
Find the light in your heart to live again




   

01-19-15 Sleeping With Serpents

It's a slippery position
Sleeping with snakes
Go to bed every night
Expecting to get bit

When the venom gets you down
You never get back up again





   

01-18-15 Dawn At The Barn

Early mornings
Down on the farm
Watching the sunrise

Crisp frost
Melts into dewdrops
Glistening in the light

Cool fresh air
Quiet stillness of silence
Waking up





   

01-17-15 Invisible Chills

Unpack the wilderness windows
Flash back to the point of origin
Double cross passion affection
Effective before midnight never
Scared of the action in reverse
Incontrovertible truths disappear
Favorite flavors run in bold colors
Never mess around with space aliens
Once that door opens it cannot be closed





     

01-16-15 Going Out To The Show

Theatricality of the living stage
A major attraction all over the world
Prime time moments in the spotlight
Put on a show for the people tonight

Stunning fireworks display in the sky
Spotlights shining through a smokescreen
Multicolored visuals of strange patterns
Emerging into the future with excitement





   

01-15-15 So Good To Be Back Home

That old familiar smell
Makes me feel like a child
Safe and warm at home
Where nothing ever changes
And everything stays the same

That old familiar place
Welcomes me with open arms
From sweet innocent days
When we lived in fear of nothing
And everything was magical





   

01-14-15 Something To Live For

It's hard to survive

when you don't have

something to live for

It's harder to stay alive

when the thing you live for

suddenly flies away

      

01-13-15 Opulence

Best of the best
Luxury wealth and riches
All you've ever wanted
And much much more

Too much of everything
All of the time every time
Fame fortune fascination
Beauty in it's highest form

Drunk on the power of power
High on illusions of grandeur
An endless supply of extravagence
Splashing in pools of golden bliss

Close your eyes and make a wish
For all you've ever dreamed of
Right away at your fingertips
Money has no meaning

But it's only on the surface
These spoils are external
What matters is the love inside your heart
That's all that's left when the cash runs out





       

01-12-15 My Most Wonderful Creation

My little boy
is so much like me
in every possible way
more and more each day

I wish for you
my beautiful son
a lifetime of joy
and good fortune

And when I'm gone
I'd want you to know
you're the best thing
that's ever happened to me

sipping a pina colada

relaxed

The beauty of delicious snack treats




   

01-09-15 Nasty Around The Friendly Neighborhood

Warm your hands
On the old stove
Come in from the cold
Sick like a dog

It's a frozen world
Between hearts and minds
True love broken by reality
Extinguished the passion

Crash boom bash
Zoom down below the border
Downtown pizza pie party
Spice on a night out

Make the old flavors
Turn sour around the edges
Scratching away at the walls
Woke us up at night

Too much blue light
Back on the list of priorities
Push the clean flame on fire
Sweet nothings smell nice

Graffiti art street show
On old abandoned subway cars
Written in colorful shades of blood
Reflecting the heart of the streets






   

01-08-15 I Will Not Be Silenced

You will never take away my voice
My words will ring out loud

Truth
Lies
Fact
Opinion

When the voice of the people
Is threatened by oppression
We rise up strong and stand
For the right to speak our peace




   

01-07-15 Fox Trap Blues

Fox in a hole
Through a hollow log

Caught in a trap
Snapped on it's leg

Licking it's wounds
Crying at the moon




 

01-06-15 Peace Inside Apocalypse

Time for quiet rest
Peaceful release
A short pause
For tranquility




   

01-05-15 Salt Water Taffy Haiku Number Two

Soft chewy delight
Always gets stuck in my teeth
Sweet salty goodness




 

01-04-15 In The Heart Of A Storm

Change the design of alignment
Find a different point of view
Birds in motion over the water
A sad blue sky opens up and cries




 

01-03-15 Communicating With The Universe

catch fire in the moment
flashing light upon pulse
odd but not out of the ordinary
hung out to dry on the brink
eyes blank out the red lights
blinking off and on forever
shot down after the first call
double talk from another time zone
friends in the afterlife flying home
golden pearls of wisdom spoken softly
over strange frequency sound waves
destroying your mind with new ideas





 

01-02-15 Smoke Signals Into Space

Replace all moving parts
Start spreading the news
Flipped around the street
Dancing flames in breezes

Red hot fire explosions burst
Pop out on the scene for a song
Rolling on the subway slowly
Sometimes it inspires you

To do great things on a grand scale
For the good of all humanity at once
Singing out to the wild moonlit night
Bringing peace and love to the universe





   

01-01-15 The Keys To A Mighty Kingdom

Ancient artifacts
Supernatural spirits
Preserved secretly
Frozen in time
Hidden from light
Protected from age
To be reborn once
For another century
Alive again
