Lost in the darkness
Hunted by a strange creature
Running for your life




 

06-07-15 Code Green

Recycled success deconstructed
Great contributions to the community
Dissected moments disassembled
Crushed velvet curtains opened up

Push the doors down around you
Kiss the computer screen goodbye
Insane ideas do not come easily
Misunderstood differences are unique

Marquee match up on Seventh Avenue
The garden grows thick in midtown
People hustle past taxi cabs speeding
Their eyes can see everything all at once

Outer space mission success
Lottery winners revealed
A busy day in local sports




 

06-05-15 Collapse And Rebuild

The roof fell down
When the walls
Were caving in

Dig yourself out
Live to fight again
Another day

Build a stronger house
With a solid foundation
Live happily ever after





   

06-04-15 Ghost Alien Poem

strange lights                                 in the fog

                        crystal colors shine

beyond         the             spirit             realm

            to infinity                         floating      in   the    heavens     above

                                mysterious            voices

             in           fire              we          worship         the dawn alive


a thirst for blood                     eerie mischief                  hidden in shadows


     evil eyes                bad energy                  horror       fear


                           it haunts this place


for eternity                    roaming              through         time

               passing          into       your           soul

fading away

                                                        for eternity











     

06-03-15 Don't Stop At Thirteen Hundred Stories

the tank is empty

no more left to give

we started from nothing

we finish with nothing

it makes people happy

people do read this stuff

so it means something

to someone somewhere

the tank is full

much more left to give

we started from nothing

we finish with everything

Frozen in time
Left behind
In thin air
On the mark
Hit the target

A sad symphony
On Monday night
Splashing in puddles
Washed away





   

05-31-15 Stormy Skies Alive

People escape
Wading in water

Storm damage
All around us
Thunder cracks
Across the sky

Power lines down
Highways flooded
The rains pour down
Beating hard on the ground





   

06-30-15 Cowboy Astronauts

Trapped in the web
Tangled up in technology
Old familiar sounds soothe
Warm quiet tranquil safe

Lost inside outer space
The road ahead will be hard
Thinking about the universe
Fly away into the stars

05-29-15 Seaside Summer

Afternoon sunshine
Blue skies fresh air

Dolphins dancing

Cool tropical breezes

Shells scattered
Starfish gathered
On the shoreline
At low tide






     

05-28-15 Diamond Language

swing right through it
chopper to the right side
a bloop and a blast to win
jump in out on the grass

throw a cookie down the middle
cheating a bit to the right side
then sneak one in against the shift
a ricochet rocket to the corner

living in the history books
solo shot over the left field fence
a flamethrower out on the mound
from a great spot to watch the game

Time of the day
Go ahead tomorrow
Forget about the future
Live in the past tense

Travel through centuries
They had no idea anyway
Losing history in a moment

05-26-15 All The Miles On This Road

Half of the ocean roughly
Several moments expire

Mental breakthrough mind
Over matter begins again
Silent way of the ninja

Kiss the broken heart of lies
Fly like a free bird soaring

05-23-15 Echoes In The Subway

Riding a subway train
As it snakes through tunnels
Pulling into station after station
Underground graffiti wonderland

Mysterious creatures lurk in shadows
Strange fog rolling from the darkness
Ghosts of commuters roam the platform
Strong energies trapped in time forever





   

05-22-15 Swimming In The Northern Lights

Look into the light
It's a beautiful light
A colorful light

Long journey
Rise to the peak
Peace at last

Playing hide and go seek
I found you

You are

We are
The star
Of our
Own show




   

05-16-15 Exotic Age Of Evolution

Pick and choose your poison
Pickled cucumber in a jar
Take a long vacation and relax
The years soldier on past

Time will break you down
Inside outside around town
Hot coffee and a newspaper
Tradition habit routine change

Acid rain pours down from above
Sinister winds are blowing back in
Wounded creatures survive in pain
We all will go through it all over again





 

05-15-15 Low Fives On The High Line

LATE LAST NIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
MORNING CAME PREMATURELY
SUFFERING UNEXPECTEDLY PUNISHED
BUT WE DIDN'T CARE AT ALL
WE ONLY GOT SICKER STILL
IN STOMACH PAIN CYCLES
SOOTHING THE AGONY AWAY
WITH EXTRA REALITY DOSES
OF HEARTACHE MULTIPLIED BLIND
SO DON'T DRINK THE WATER INSTEAD
WATCH TV UNTIL YOU FALL ASLEEP
THEN SLEEP AGAIN UNTIL THE SPELL FADES OFF

We kill the cancer
Then we fight back
And sleep alone together




   

05-13-15 Night Of The Shadow Creatures

A dark shrouded figure
Disappears into a shadow
Sneaking around the room
Creeping in shady corners

The demons got inside here
Through a crack in the wall
Now they'll never leave alive
Before spreading their evil seed




   

05-12-15 I've Got A Wonderous Idea

Let's all stay in bed
And sleep all day
Forget about the time
Hideaway from work today

The stars and moon
Sunshine afternoon
Turn off the daylight
Bring on the night




   

05-11-15 Life Down In The Subways

Every day is like a war
We are wounded soldiers
Fighting for our lives
Inside the forbidden zone

Rats run back and forth
Waiting for us to finally die
So they can eat our flesh
And return our souls to hell




   

05-10-15 Mother's Day Blue Jay

Mother blue jay
Sitting in her nest
On three little eggs
Defending her turf

Flying around
Gathering food
Keeping the babies
Safe and warm
Until they are ready
To fly alone

Piece by piece
And off we go
Growing slowly
Built to last solid
Strong against time
Inching closer
To immortality





 

05-07-15 Living Through The Decline

A sheet of living horror
This time we are left behind
The cruel end comes quickly
Sometimes in slow agony

Our good old neighborhood
Has become a bad neighborhood
Nobody cares about it anymore
It's only going to get worse

Blood rules the oceans of fire
My heart can't take it anymore
I want to run away and never return
Tomorrow is a brand new day





   

05-06-15 Surviving The Aftermath

Storms moved in on Monday
Total destruction in moments
Broken glass broken homes
No power no water no nothing

Everything is gone with the wind
Except the clothes we have on
Our family pictures are memories
A lifetime erased for eternity

Along the path to enlightenment

Take it slow
Relax
Breathe
Fresh air
Sweet springtime
Lazy lemonade
Quiet days
Birds chirp
Cool breeze
Easy

Midtown madness
Yellow taxi cabs
Honk their horns
Fire truck sirens
Screaming
Dreaming
Bright lights
Crazy guys
Howling
Out loud


 

05-02-15 Random Moments In Motion

The sound of your voice
Echoes down the street
On the day after last night
Dreaming about the future
From far away places today
Listening to the music of eternity
Vibrating through the universes
Bouncing around inside our souls
Flying away without any limitations
Landing on solid ground gracefully
Gratefully dead on tour forever







     

05-01-15 Homecoming Weekend Blues

Last call at the old hang out
Faded memories of better days
Photos from another time
Back to where it all began

The buildings are the same
But the neighbors have changed
The years have all passed slowly
But my home town pride remains

   

04-30-15 Wake Of The Flood

Drip drip drop
Drip drip drop

A leak becomes
An ocean

Water flowing
Into whirlpools

Swept away
Across the sea




 

04-29-15 Sasquatch On Madison Avenue

He appeared

From out of nowhere

On the southeast corner

Of Twenty Ninth Street

Crossing my path

In the afternoon 

He stopped to say hello

We talked all day about 

Mysteries of the universe

Before thanking me again

As he waived goodbye

Disappearing into thin air

    

 

04-28-15 The Screaming Child Inside Us

Sometimes I feel so angry
The rage takes over the page
And my demons come out
From deep down inside my soul

Kicking and screaming
Crying and exploding

Sometimes I can't control myself
But I get through it the right way
Because you are always responsible
For your own actions on this planet




   

04-27-15 Fires Are Burning Again

Destruction

The chaos and magnitude
They are throwing bottles
Police clash with rioters
Fires burning in the streets

Intensity flames crackle

Vehicles on fire
Smoke in the air
Panic mayhem

Violent message
Anarchy spreading

Blood on the sidewalk

Anger
Freedom
Justice





   

04-26-15 Springtime In The Universe

Sweet buds blossom
Fresh fragrant flowers
Freedom to explore space
High noon sunlight sky

Fireball rocketship attack
Frozen stars stolen at night
Cruise control asteroid flight
Unlimited potential for growth




   

04-25-15 Central Park Coyote Chase

On the prowl
Hunting you down
Hiding in the brush
Hot on our trail
Spotted trotting
In Lincoln Center
Taking a short cut
Faster than everyone
Evading police patrols
Strolling the streets
Moving on uptown




 

04-24-15 Alligator Stew For Breakfast

Yellow eyeballs organically blink
Floating green sea weed dream
Sharp teeth ripping flesh to shreds
Radioactive blood flows in the swamp

Swimming with gators
Down in the sewers
Under the subway
Eating pizza





 

04-23-15 Midtown Hustle

Golden skyscrapers
Growing up from the ground
Where we all run around
On top of the world




 

04-22-15 Lazy Morning Ritual

Early in the morning
I sit outside in the garden
Sipping my cup of coffee
Reading the newspaper
Watching birds hop around
Breathing cool fresh air
While orange sunshine
Warms my soul





   

04-21-15 The Swarm Before The Storm

All the bees are dying off
One by one under the sun
No more sweet honey nectar
But we need them for our survival




   

04-20-15 The Birds Are Watching

Ducks swim in the universe
Flocks of firebirds mock our every move
Snowbirds fly south for the winter
Pigeons are swarming everywhere

There's a falcon on our roof
And an eagle perched in it's nest
Across the woods up in trees
Flying free into the horizon





 

04-19-15 Next Generation Poets

Lay down your laser beams
Pick up your pens and notebooks
Join the band of fearless rebel troops
Figh for freedom in times of war
Set new fashion trends to impress
Collect the entire complete set
Read books from your library shelf
Turn the pages at the end of the day
Yellow paper so old and delicate
It smells like my Grandma's house
When the kids read the hot catalyst
Messages flow underground to crowds
Fresh voices of poetry speak aloud






   

04-18-15 The Path To Tranquility

Surrender to the sunshine
Sleep until noon on Tursday
Lazy days in the backyard
Sipping lemonade relaxed
Enjoy a good thing while it lasts




   

04-17-15 Astronaut Ice Cream

Strawberry cubes
Dehydrated sugar milk
Dry floating by

Space madness
Stuck inside the ship
Surrounded by aliens

We saw strange objects
Which could not be identified
Flying beneath the stars




 

04-16-15 Home Again At Last

The hand of grandeur
Delusions of the highest form
Only on empty alone together

Warm comforts of safety
Sleeping in a cold dark cave
Frozen in time while moving

Chicken and rice for dinner
Kung Fu fighting on television
Climbing the walls in the winter

Laughter and good health
Bad jokes talk turkey at the table
Family fights for the holidays





   

04-15-15 Light Hot Love Millenium Style

May the beauty of your heart
Shine a zillion times brighter
Than the lights in Times Square
On New Year's Rockin' Eve
At the turn of the century



   

04-14-15 Greetings From Zombie Town

Ghost wind
From the graveyard

Bitter chill
Bloody revenge

Remember my name
Never forget me

Kill in the darkness
Evil wins again

Stunned from beyond
Mystery whispers

Witch's wicked brew
Black magic medicine

Glowing red eyes
Fire blazing flames

Twist the hook
Spirits don't look back

04-13-15 Thirteen Ravens Rising

Frozen cold under a warm sun
Dark birds swarmed in slowly
Under the cover of sinister clouds
Black smoke rising above the city

The excruciating sting of death
Passes through life in a dance
Visiting late at night silently
Evil spirits haunt this location

The birds interpret the underworld
Voices from beyond this existence
Echoes calling out in endless cycles
Let your light shine again in the morning





 

04-12-15 When You Were Here With Me

When you were here with me
My life was complete
I felt safe and protected
We always connected

Now that you are gone
My life is broken
I feel so cold and alone
There's no one on the phone

I go to those same old places
Where we used to have good times
But without you nothing is the same
All I have now is memories




   

04-11-15 Radioactive Mutations From Mars

They've come to Earth
To eat our brains
To drink our blood
And it turns out
There was life on Mars
All this time in plain sight
Extraterrestrial mutant armies
Launching an invasion
From their hidden base
On the dark side of the moon





   

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

Salty Crunch
In Fluffy Bunches
Fresh From The Kettle

Where I Stuff My Face With It
Before The Coming Attractions

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

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
