02-08-16 Attack Of The Radioactive Mutant Rats

Clowns celebrate laughter
Killers involved in murder
Go to sleep on the ground
Wake up in a nuclear plant
Radiation leaking into town
Festering down in the sewers
Violence in the hot city streets
Rats infesting the neighborhood
Giant monster rodents attack
Food safety is a top concern
Contamination exposed poison
Over running under the radar
Penetrating personal boundaries
They'll hunt you in the darkness
Gnawing through the kitchen walls
To eat you alive in your own home
Chewing your bloody brains out
You can't even sleep in your car

02-07-16 Wintergreen

Out in the woods
Spirits dance
Between the trees

Snowflakes falling
Silently still
In crystal quiet

Crackling ice storm
On a cold night
In a dark winter chill

02-06-16 Poetic Orgasmatron

When inspiration strikes

My poetry explodes all over

The face of your place in space

Where the sun never shines bright

So don't ruin your universe tonight

Let your love shine through the screw

Reading the pages of your broken heart

And I never told you how I felt inside

But I did it all for the glory of your love

We never thought it would end this way

So if you approve of the moves I make

Then let the world come out to meet you

Where clean spaces grow inside strange spirals

To lift up your heart into the warmth of the sun

Where we will live together in peace forever

02-05-16 Blue Apples

Poison heart salt splash
Powerful smash storm fly
Friendly road machine cow
Movement into the moment

Planet regression track snitch
Splatter fast download available
Madness in springtime all alone
Sheep pizza smooth break star

Kiss tree attack artful smear
Drama frozen favor judgement
Potential reality development
Mauled by a zombie raccoon

02-04-16 Steps To Eternal Enlightenment

Learn to live
with your self

Let your spirit
soar to the stars

Open your heart
to the lightness

Free your mind
from real nightmares

Lift up others
when they need help

Write your name
on heaven's bathroom wall

02-03-16 Summertime Angels On Fire

Salty sting of summer swing
Until the blue ocean runs dry
Swim around with dolphins
Ride the curve in to the shore

Late afternoon sunburned skin
Fresh seafood chilled on ice
Twist of lemon spraying away
Cold beverages out on the deck

Check out the Yankees score
We are due for a big win here
My ice cream cone is melting
Meet me at the pool tomorrow

02-02-16 Classified Poetry

A city in the sky
Underground letters
Fires burning bright
Revolution is born

Secret language signals
Crack the codes quietly
Then vanish into the herd
Unlock the door to everything

Dangerous ideas spread
Messages passed along
Hidden meanings exist
Serious subject matter

You have the right
To launch a movement
Inciting a riot of expression
The new world will rise

02-01-16 Starship Meditation

Take a deep breath
Let your mind wander
Away from your body
Far off the astral plane
Out between everywhere
And nowhere in particular
Spanning the entire universe
Beyond the boundaries of time

I don't want the lights on
And I don't want a turtle

01-31-16 Love Hate

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

01-30-16 Invisible Monsters Chasing Moonlight

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

01-29-16 Baby

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

Seeking love
Is the highest calling
And the passageway
To happiness

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

01-28-16 Death Rattle

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

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





   

01-27-16 Demons Are Stalking Your Soul

Darkness runs cold

Thick blood in winter

Sadness under the surface

The nightmares you imagine

Devils impress you with charm

To gain your sincere confidence

And when you let your guard down

They suck your spirit away

Pain is the only real thing

Evil has come early this season

Black magic wizards at work

Your fate is waiting for you

    

01-26-16 Let's Move To Hollywood

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

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

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

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

01-25-16 Seeing Beyond Tomorrow

Echo shock is in effect
Immediate control stop

Fragment of a monster world
Endless around the galaxy

Ominous beings hunt for prey
Hulking presence of destruction

Spirituality built inside machines
Emotional robots falling apart

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

Bring back the dinosaur laserbeams
Look towards your future fantasy

01-24-16 Trapped In The Blizzard Of Doom

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

01-23-16 Chelsea Hotel #123

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

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

01-22-16 Root Beer Float Haiku

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

01-21-16 The Seven Day Forecast

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

01-20-16 Gloria's Candy Shop

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

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

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

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

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




   

01-19-16 Stardust Foxes At The Glitter Factory

somewhere
floating on
thin air

lightning
electric groove
sunset strip

riding waves
fractured attraction
exploding kiss

live wire
sizzling hot
hotel lobby

mirror mirror
on the wall
ugly inside

saturday night
every night
all night

disco ball
family fortune
get rich quick

private jet
champagne showers
party time

01-18-16 Behind The Iron Door

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

Locked behind an iron door

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

01-17-16 Whispering Neon Kisses To Palm Trees

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

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

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

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

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

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

01-16-16 Mexico At The Crack Of Dawn

Inside the engine
Trapped
Working
Through gears
Broken down
Shifting

Feel better
Or suffer
Through
The pain
And deal
With it

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

Musical solutions
Swimming in circles
Warm ocean breezes
Under the sunshine

Soft
Still
Quiet
Relaxed
At peace

01-15-16 Immune To Radiation Laserbeams

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





 

01-14-16 Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors

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

01-13-16 Afternoon Coffee Dream

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01-12-16 Pennies In The Wishing Well

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




 

01-11-16 Messages In Bottles

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

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

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

01-10-16 When The Robots Invaded Earth

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

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

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

01-09-16 Winter Warmth

Cold stormy night
Snuggled under blankets
Reading bedtime stories



   

01-08-16 Overworked And Overwhelmed

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

01-07-16 A Poem From Jupiter

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

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

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

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

01-06-16 We Are An Endangered Species

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

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

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

01-05-16 The House Blend

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

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

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

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

01-03-16 Limitations Of Infinity

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

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






   

01-02-16 Reality Is A Matter Of Opinion

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






   

01-01-16 Following The Light

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

12-31-15 The Art Of Expression

we all create art
in some special way
in everything we do
that art is all out there
in fact art is everywhere

art can be
neither created
nor destroyed
art is self employed

everything exists
in the atmosphere
so say what you think
and do what you feel
capture it real
in any form
of expression





     

12-30-15 Shady Lawyers At The Courthouse

you should see these guys
with their hair slicked back
in the morning at the courthouse
spending their grandfathers' money
wearing sharp tailored pinstripe suits
sitting cross legged all spread out
reading a giant unfolded newspaper
dropping in to request a postponement
briefly before leaving to cash the check





   

12-29-15 Curse Of The Secret Ninja Warriors

There is a monster in my mind
All thoughts are transforming
The madness is growing strong
Poison flowing red in my blood
Voices calling out from beyond
Trapped between duel existences
Bowing to the sun on the mountain
Channeling sacred ancient energies






   

12-28-15 Spirit Of The Frost Goddess

Whisper in wintergreen
Kisses on a snowflake
Sparkling stars twinkle
Lights flicker in a chill

Ice crystals shimmering
Enchanted visions of beauty
Songs of birds flying south
Monster blizzards up north

Cold winds blowing down
From the distant mountains
White clouds obscure the sky
The silver moonflower blooms




 

12-27-15 Push The Reset Button

ran out early
to pick up food
at the supermarket
before the rush

spilled coffee
all over my pants
which I washed
yesterday

got soaked
when it started
pouring rain
on my way back

all the groceries fell
out of the wet bags
as I struggled up
the tall staircase

turned the key
walked in the door
no one home
I was all alone

dried myself off
changed my clothes
it's never too late
to start over again




   

12-26-15 Behind The Magic

A wizard's work
Is never done
That's why we
Have fun

Spells can tell
Another side
To the same
Glorious story

At the castle
Whipping up
An old potion
Against evil

Mystic energy
Can wear you
Down slowly
Exhausted

Tired out after
Long days spent
Fighting dragons
To the death





   

12-25-15 Christmas In The City

Electric rainbow
Christmas lights
Blinking on and off
Silent Night on the radio

Early morning
Subway ride to nowhere
People barely smile
Waiting for a miracle

Sidewalk Santa
Collecting change
For the poor kids
Who have nothing

Smell of the trees
I used to gather
Broken branches
To make a wreath

Wrapping paper
For sale on the corner
Two for a buck
Stolen from a truck

Empty streets
Quiet buzz around town
The pigeons don't know
What day it is



 

12-24-15 There's Always A War Going On

BRUTAL BLOODBATH
RAINING DOWN ON US
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
OUT IN THE STREETS

SCREAMS FOR HELP
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
MILITARY EXORCISM
EMBEDDED TROOPS

BURNING CARS EXPLODE
BOMBED OUT SCHOOLS
COLD AND EMPTY SHELLS
DESTROYERS OF FREEDOM

MORE TAX DOLLARS TO KILL
OVERTHROW ANOTHER WORLD
INNOCENT LOST ORPHANS CRY
SOMEONE'S MAKING MONEY




       

12-23-15 Marble Tunnel Mystery Box

missing pieces are found
midnight in the afternoon
vulnerable to the elements
subterranean ceremonies
destroy any good ideas
power is finally restored
to those who had none

Riders Of The Ocean Rain
Murdered In A Secret Order
Kill These Skies With Poison
Build A New World Again

12-22-15 Children Of The Darkness

They'll eat your heart out
In exclusive outer space circles
Until the paparazzi come crawling
Calling out to the vampires in the night

Rocketship in your back pocket
Sailing off into the blazing sunset
Get your free drinks at the cocktail bar
Before the zombies multiply into a crowd

Embarrass all your fake friends
Tell them what you really think
Spill your drink and make a mess
Throw up in the bathroom sink

Insanity is never ending torture
Too many nights spent running around
Success can do more damage than good
Mortality is a tough lesson to learn







     

12-21-15 Another Year Passes

Farewell to the old days
Growing old is always painful

Changes are never ever easy
I suppose it's all for the best

Or at least what's meant to be
But we survive to grow stronger

Then pass on what we have learned
To the next generation of children

As we make a smooth transition
From this life into the next






   

12-20-15 Genuflections For The King

High dive
Into the deep end
Without getting wet

Walking on water
Didn't catch fire
Until the legend

Sing the blues
From your heart
Until you drop

Never stop the music
Make the girls melt
Then leave the building





   

12-19-15 Unbroken Chains Of Friendship

special friendships last eternally
bonds of love that cannot break
good times bad times sad times
connected by common threads

spirits intertwined in space and time
locked into a cosmic dance through the ages
meant to be all in the family forever
together on the journey of life







     

12-18-15 We Are The Star Wars Generation

We grew up after Vietnam 
But before the Gulf War
And in the days between
We had Star Wars

We played with action figures
In the backyard after school
We became powerful Jedi masters
Dueling for the fate of the galaxy

We read comic books and novels
From an ever expanding universe
We dressed up in Boba Fett costumes
When it wasn't even Halloween

We've studied the teachings of Yoda
And practiced the ways of the Force
We stayed away from the Dark Side
And learned to use our powers for good

We wished we were Han Solo
And fell in love with Princess Leia
We'd defeat Darth Vader and the Empire
From our seat in the Millenium Falcon

We are the Star Wars Generation
And Star Wars is forever





   

12-16-15 Stepping Off The High Wire

Midnight
Mind erasing
Mine is racing
Heartbeat chasing

Jitters chatters grinders
Finders keepers creepers

Pacing around
Back and forth
All night long
Until after dawn

Hands are shaking
Body is quaking
Fever warm chills
Fear trembling
Sweat dripping
Brains flipping

Neither here
Nor there
Can't decode
Won't decide

Deep breaths
Don't work
Slow songs
Speeding up

It never stops
Then one day
It stops forever






   

12-16-15 Living In The Blink Of An Eye

On the edge of eternity
Rooted in extreme reality
Existing in this moment
Like a snapshot memory
The picture fades in time
But the image lasts forever




 

12-15-15 Visions Of Blind Meditation

Leap tall buildings
In a single bound

Test the boundaries
Break down the borders

Raindrops crackling
On the windowsill

Floating out in space
Sailing through the moons

Reach out from beyond
Come back with a sign

Early in the morning
Birds are singing

Reward your brain
With food for thought

Remember the spirit
Feel the soul





   

12-14-15 Choosing The Right Words

I borrowed some words
For this special occasion
When there was nothing
Left to say to anyone

Let's get back to goodness
Return to mint condition
Turn the whole ship around
Tell it like it really is

Believe in magic
It's all you have to do
When you have nothing
Or something left to lose




 

12-13-15 Antique Energies

broken glass on the floor
droplets of blood on the tiles
kaleidoscope of colors swirl
echoes awakened suddenly
loud voices in the hallway
far away from the city streets
silence in the early morning
decades spent stuck in time
find a little something extra
golden memories never fade
extra action under the umbrella
ghosts can live inside objects
sitting on the porch playing music
interpreting messages in the air
preserved for future generations
sooner or later they will find you
masters of precision execution
realistic scientific fiction scenario
risking it all out at the speedway
getting everything under control
another sidewinder sneaking up
believe in the unbelievable truth
miracles in fast food technology
remembering the best experience
victories on the battlefield of life
at the end of the good old days








   

12-12-15 Reflections Behind A Two Way Mirror

Tell us how you really feel

Behind the smiley face you play

Beyond your mask and costume

Past the lies you tell yourself

To sleep alone another night

Before the wounds have healed

Between emotions covered up

There is poison in your blood

Somebody hurt you real bad

Deep down inside your heart

And that hurt never went away

You wear it like expensive jewelry 

I see myself in your eyes

Reflections of the pain

Examining why we cry 

To grow stronger at last

      

12-11-15 A Hidden Cabin In Deep Woods

isolated

alone

quiet stillness 

desolation

protected by trees

shelter from storms

primitive 

simple

not a single

luxury

no electricity 

no traffic

remote 

solitude 

space to think

freedom

fresh air

peace at last

    

12-10-15 Eve Of The Apocalypse

Stay tuned
For the rest
Of your life

I will protect you
Take my hand
Let's go far away

Tempted by
Evil serpent
Seduction

Monsters are real
Don't be afraid
You are a monster too

Eat the apple
Drink the poison
Escape on doomsday

No way out
In the garden
Of destruction



   

12-09-15 Cipriani On A Tuesday Night

Marble columns surround us
Golden trimmings adorn the walls
Underneath higher ceilings above
Fancy celebrities wear hot fashions
We're talking ball gowns and bow ties
Paparazzi snapping shots on the street
These guys are all worth a million bucks
The drinks are free and the food is incredible
The band plays on well into the evening
Long historical vibrations echo all around
Legendary men and women have walked
On these articulated mosaic polished tile floors
A timeless energy fills this space for eternity
And here I am wondering how I wound up here





   

12-08-15 Liberal Use Of Magic

Midnight radiation
Pouring out of my skull

Pure love from inside
The best parts of my heart

Remembering when
We were kids together

Casting spells around
On the crowded city sidewalk

Making people believe
In the spirit of excitement

Lavish gifts showered
In golden castles from nowhere

Make it all better
Don't let any more bad stuff happen

Fix all the problems
With the power of a few words

12-07-15 Country Style Sweetness

Nowhere here
Out in the clear
Sincerely yours
For a new year

Blue sky stretch
For miles beyond
Dreams blooming
Make a wish

Listen closely
Call of the beast
Leave it alone
Stay awakened

Check this out
Reloaded again
Shoot off steam
Fire away






 

12-06-15 Time Travel Vortex

Step into the vortex
To travel through time
Let's get back to yesterday
Live again in the old world

Sing with the cowboys
Groove with the beats
Dance with the dinosaurs
Paint with the masters

Hop into the vortex today
To travel around through time
Let's get back to tomorrow
See you again in the future






   






   

12-05-15 Chelsea Hotel #105

Take a long walk
Up the staircase
And look around
Catch a glimpse

Elevator is broken
Down the hallway
Inside a dream world
Explosive energy

Subtle red glow
Lightbulb blinking
Someone screaming
Or singing opera

Fire alarm again
She slowly fell asleep
With a lit cigarette
Burning the bed

Soft whispers of smoke
Swan dive through time
Bohemian gypsy spirit
The smell of old perfume

Hidden in a mystery box
Glamorized fashion lifestyle
Tumultuous in New York
Hot blazing afternoon fun

Art school death squad
Rooftop party until morning
Sunlit shadows create shapes
Patterns of movement shift

Loud knocking tonight
Strange feelings permeate
A voice from yesterday
Music from somewhere else






   







 

12-04-15 Immortal In This Moment

infinity
always comes
with a price tag
attached

sleep
never comes
without small
sacrifice

frozen
in a time warp
at this moment
captured

luck
sometimes comes
from out of nowhere
infinitely





   

12-03-15 New Sun Drop Honeydew

Make the right decision
Stay away from the drama
Try not to do bad stuff
Be friendly and kind to others

Miracle breakthrough
Right around the corner
To change the way we live
Exploring every option

Reach out to save a life
Don't turn a blind eye here
Create more goodness
Spread the best energy






 

12-02-15 Islands Rising From The Sea

Silent volcanic eruption
Molten lava explosion
Hot ash falls from above
A brand new island is born





   

12-01-15 Hotter Than A Colorado Bake Sale

mix extravaganza perfect zen
meditation group hug showcase
signature spike ingredient snap
technical emotions baked cool
sweet cream sensation headline
crystal sugar madness split pile
heart spoon wrap cookie rolling
crush the crumble inside scoop
pleasure fashion ink spot dealer
grand seafood feast on the fire
convicted kindness rescued alive
genuine flavors in a written book
you never took a second look back






   

11-30-15 Sasquatch At The NoMad Hotel

Big hairy ape-like creature
Strolling uptown on Broadway
Checking out the ladies at lunch
Living on street corner hot dogs

Large smelly swamp beast
With reservations at the NoMad
Holding court with the monsters
Killing it downtown this year

Mysterious bipedal primate
Taking the subway home after work
Watching the game at the bar tonight
Finally getting a good night's sleep





   

11-29-15 Finding A Path To Peace

It's a long way to go
To find a special place
Where it's so quiet
You can hear your heart

Where it's so silent
You can hear your own voice
Speaking clearly and loudly
Out into the universe





 

11-28-15 Psycho Rocket Astro Catastrophe

Something strange 

Is in the air tonight

Outside in the wild

Danger in the town

Odd feelings grow

Older than ancient 

Bizzarro characters

From outer space

Swing on a comet

Hold on to the tail

Sail into supernovas

Flying into the future

    

11-27-15 Turkey Day Leftovers Haiku

Ate too much turkey
Thanksgiving hangover
Stuffing for breakfast




 

11-26-15 Zombie Turkey Face

Automatic brain eaters
Feasting on your soul
Revenge of the undead
My heart yearns for you

Stuffing and sweet potatoes
Killers stalking their prey
Roadside hitchhiker ghost
Thanksgiving day parade

Lick the sharp knife clean
Vultures circle in dark skies
Rats eating the decaying flesh
Hot apple pie for desert






   

11-25-15 The Warrior Inside Us All

Beyond what words explain
Fall in love to live again
Fight against the dreaded beast
Then live to fight another day

Bet the farm and beat the odds
Rise above the brutal pain
Strong enough to win the war
Man enough to walk away


   

11-24-15 Prophecy With A Scooby Doo Ending

I saw a snake on the subway today
Your venom is more red than green
Kill quietly undercover in the dark
Holy robots serving tea in prison
Disco lights flashing our youth away
It is now time to start counting animals
Slaughter in the rainforest destroys us
Create new worlds with your imagination
Our government is corrupted absolutely
Objects have been reported in the skies
Believe in magic no matter what they say
You only have to worry about everything
Destruction of our natural resources is bad
Obviously this planet is in significant danger
Oblivion is right around the corner tomorrow
Polluted oceans breeding radioactive fish
The air we breathe is not much cleaner
Earthlings are not the only life forms
This universe is expanding everlasting
Healthy trees grow towards the sunshine
Fantastic bumblebee golden chocolate
Marble puzzle pieces put back together
Haunted theater with a funky phantom
It was actually the old usher in disguise
And he would've gotten away with it
If it wasn't for you meddling kids




 

11-23-15 Angels Are Everywhere

Challenge yourself
To make a difference

Heroes rise to the occasion
Created by their circumstances

Fix the broken system
Do all you can to make it right

Let your positive energy
Spread like a wildfire virus

Help those in need
Assist people less fortunate

Be a genuinely nice guy
In a town where nobody's nice

Use your own voice
To pass along a good word

Send a message of love
Across the blue skies above






   

11-22-15 Holiday Dinner At Mom's House

wash the salt away
listen to the silent symphony
hot spices in your soup
running barefoot in the grass

fall trees all sway around
early afternoon sunset colors
a slow drive out in the woods
holidays at mom's house

fireplace cooking tonight
marshmallow chocolate cookies
watching an old movie on tv
snuggled under a warm blanket

gather around the table
precious family time together
feasting with full plates
thankful for this wonderful meal






   

11-21-15 Kiss Of Destruction

Swimming in pools of cherry blood
Fire and brimstone in earthquake zones
Prophecies are coming to fruition now
Soldiers of doom celebrating death

Killing off all the life left on this planet
Mass extinction couldn't have had worse timing
Polluted humans toxic sludge smokestack poison
Genetically manipulated food in chemical baths

Quiet darkness of nothing left alive
Storms roll in and echo another time
Computers left to continue the next phase
Robots will inherit Earth when we're gone







     

11-20-15 Our Reaction To Your Evil

Write something here
We are stronger than your army
With our heartbroken hearts
We've learned to love again




   

11-19-15 Do Not Be Intimidated

Beat up
kicked around

Stand up
hold your ground




   

11-18-15 This Is A Special Report

The sky is falling
Here we go again
The cycle continues
Wait patiently still

In a time of great sensitivity
No one really knows anything
The cable news channels melt
Breaking up to the minute now

With tension in their bones
Take these threats seriously
The praises of apocalypse
No time for entertainment

Evil has returned
To spread darkness
In the grip of fear
This is no joke






   

11-17-15 Besitos

put it all out     THERE

where

           everywhere
             nowhere
             anywhere


best friends
forever

side by side
through time

walking home
holding hands

feeling the pain
together


                   sunset at the beach
                              summer peach
             teardrops
                            dipped
                                       in
                                             candy
  stars and shapes
                             moon in full bloom

       loud and clear
                              i love you







   

11-16-15 Power Of Light

run to the light
stay away from darkness
resist the urges of evil
follow the love in your heart

in a peaceful state
relaxed in a place of freedom
enjoying life's liberties
enlightened in the universe



 

11-15-15 Grandma's Voice

Sometimes
I hear your voice
In my own voice
Speaking through me
From my heart
From your heart

Sometimes
I hear your voice
In my own voice
Speaking to my son
Like you spoke to me
When I was a boy
From your heart
To my heart
And now
To his heart





   





 

11-14-15 Dangerous World All Around

sophistication brutality honor
neutralized enemy combatants
running for your life in chaos
coordinated strategy concerns
a real grim scene here today
severe emergency preparation
seeking shelter in place hidden
we were all watching the news
it was all pretty quiet afterwards





 

11-13-15 Visions Of Invasions

We sailed into the sky
On a magical flying ship
To see the stars in space

Intercepted transmissions
Radio waves television signals
Messages out into the universe

The massive warships attacked
In the middle of that cold dark night
By morning our cities were destroyed

They took our women and children
To a planet out beyond this galaxy
Repopulating their dying world






   

11-12-15 Beautiful Vintage Garbage

Antique winter village scraps
Classic plastic action figures
Market value battle cry away
Mint condition masterpiece
Purple gorilla comic books
Special edition limited rarities
Superhero stock broker scheme
Unique one of a kind diamonds
A treasure trove of memorabilia





   

11-11-15 Wishing You Are Somewhere Reading This

How's the weather up there
I miss you down here

Do you remember the old times
I remember all the good times

When I wanted to give up
I didn't since I knew you cared

Are you alive somewhere else
You are always alive inside my heart






    

11-10-15 Birth Death Rebirth

those same old cycles
circle back around

rains pour down hard
then evaporate into thin air

empires rise and fall
in the new age of extinction





   

11-09-15 Freeze The Sands Of Time

It seems
like so
much time
has passed

Because
you are
growing up
so fast





 

11-08-15 Riot In The Old Church

Smash hits through the stained glass
Ghosts echo through the ancient walls
Screaming down long dark hallways
Crying out in the middle of the night

Spirits speak in mysterious ways
Light a candle sing a song say a prayer
Don't waste your time on the bad things
Celebrate the life you have




 

11-07-15 Speeding Ticket Highway Drive

Long drive at night
Passing lights too bright
Fast food on the highway
Faster than the speed limit
Sleep on the side of the road
Coffee from the gas station
Fill it up before we head out
So many billboard messages
Every tollbooth has a story
This adventure never ends




 

11-06-15 Camping Trip Haiku

Sleep in a green tent
Connect with Mother Nature
Magic in the woods




   

11-05-15 Mister Clean

Mighty oceans of poison
Flushed through the system

Crashing out at the finish
Enduring cycles of suffering

Cleaning everything up inside
Good as new like true love




   

11-04-15 Sand Castles Rising

Countless grains of sand
Castles rise from the shore
Surrounded by a giant moat
Full of salt water and sea shells





   

11-03-15 Awesome Poem

A wishful whisper
confused With a whistle
strolling along into Eternity
immortality is not an exact Science
fighting a giant Octopus inside infinity
lost in deep Meditation out in the universe
receiving Extraterrestrial messages





 

11-02-15 Spiders In The Garden

A quiet spot in the shade
Under the old willow tree
Behind the barn where flowers grow

Sitting spinning delicate webs
Under silver moonlight showers
Catch a fly for breakfast tomorrow

Droplets of fresh morning dew
Under a new day swaying in breezes
Existing forever within this moment






   

11-01-15 Analyze Every Little Detail

Coming along strong but wrong
Tied up popped high into the air
Take the shot now before it's gone
The robots are reading every word

Playing some music to heal feel good
Earn cash back after every purchase
Winning at the top of the power rankings
Get ready for the main event of the season

Legendary performance when it counted
Catch a hot beat running in my mind
Always hustle when you cross the street
Never leave your pants on the floor
