03-09-16 Apocalypse In Your Pocket

Poison tongue too sweet
Tea leaves in the future
Crystal smashed to bits
Elastic travel trip to Mars
Extraterrestrial mind set
Birds flying south already
Confused about the time
Alternate realities running
Existance on another level
Trapped in a parallel universe
Communication with the dead
West coast earthquake zone
Dinosaurs are coming back
The weather is getting worse
Everybody's going crazy
Waiting for the next big bang

03-08-16 Turn On Your Light

Save the gloom
For another time
We are happy now
Don't sweat it one bit

Cheer up sunshine
Honey drops in morning dew
A brand new day is dawning
Everything is beautiful

03-07-16 Take The Money

Fast cash off the books
Turn around scam shift
Hands in too many pockets
Pressing magic buttons

Work the system off the grid
Hiding under the radar screen
Screaming too much information
Streaming live into your home

Fake names leave no traces
Exploring every available option
Rip off artist on the street hunting
They are all in on the game

03-06-16 Children Of The Underworld

we all want
to be loved

electric blue
and how about you

obsession observation
walking the streets alone

sweaty palms
rapid heartbeat

spending money
losing everything

that damn moose head
looking down like a god

the devil is here
in the flesh

thirteen dollar masterpiece
dark shades of twisted evil

red overtones flashing light
dragonflies hang by a thread

triumphant music on a loop
cyborg brain communication

creature connections
mouse patrol upstairs

the ghost in your heart
shows the word to the world

teleporting in disguise
across space and time

falling apart
broken pieces

we all want
to be loved

03-05-16 Twilight Haiku

Watching the sunset
At the end of a long day
Fading into night

03-04-16 Legends Of The Subway Graffiti Ninjas

Sparks from silent philosophies
Set fire to a blazing movement
Urban voices in a public forum
Reflected in a series of images

Entering an endless tunnel maze
Disappearing shadows in the dark
Electric shock speeding train danger
Hidden beauty in the underground

Visual masterpieces emerge
Spilling out on a canvas wall
With deep feeling and emotion
Capturing this moment in time

03-03-16 Neighborhood Graveyard

the old book store
used to be over there
across the street
where we would meet
to discuss Kerouac
over a cup of coffee

that was the spot
a few doors down
where that jazz club
once stood proud
when the legends
went there to jam

the ghosts are here
of those insane poets
creatures of culture
artists of the new age
all the crazy hippies
their energy still exists

most of those buildings
are not here anymore
the ones that are standing
are empty shells now
hollow on the inside
the groovy people are gone

03-02-16 Exploring Your Imagination

Flying with golden dragons
In kingdoms of secret magic
Under the spell of wizards
In gardens of infinite beauty

Colorful flowers grow wild
Flowing below the surface
Inside the mind of a child
Twisting around in circles

Circus animals singing songs
Images of sparkling wonders
Morphing into special shapes
Drawing fantasy landscapes

03-01-16 Something To Feel Good About

The sun will shine again

Look forward to tomorrow

They can't stop us from having fun

02-29-16 The Mysterious Snowman Of The Woods

Evergreen
Wilderness
For miles

Uncharted
Unexplored
Undiscovered

Winds shift
Dark clouds
Rolling in

Cold winter
No man's land
Snowfall all the time

A quiet silence
Shadows in the valley
Temperature dropping

Catch a glimpse
A quick sighting
Beyond the brush

Movement in the trees
Something strange is here
A wild energy surrounds us

Spirit of nature
Living in solitude
With woodland beasts

There is a snowman
Who protects deep woods
Always watching everything

02-28-16 Mixed Media Messages

Exotic imagery intense
Delicious food for your eyes
Old pictures of the ancient past
Coffee buzz in the early morning

Words to make you think about it
Essence of the collective consciousness
Artistic expression spilled out into space
Exploding all over your face

02-27-16 Living In Love Together

I want to repair
Your broken heart
To save your soul
From the darkness

I want to help heal
The pain inside you
So you might learn
To be happy again

Come along with me
Into the shining light
Hand in hand together
Living in unlimited love

02-26-16 Be Your Own Best Superhero

Fight strong
for what is right

Don't let anyone
push you around

Stand up for everything
 you believe in

Get tough when
the world gets rough

 

02-25-16 Back To The City

Cold beer at the bar
Sunset slide into night
Crowded trains are insane
Midtown cool at happy hour
Monster skyscrapers or giant robots
A slice of pizza on the run for lunch
Working hard all day long at the office
Sunrise purple pink into orange sunshine
Morning glory birds soaring above rooftops
Sweet sugar swirling in a hot cup of coffee
Yellow taxi cabs racing across town at rush hour
Electric energy is pure inspiration in this city
I really need to get back to the country

02-24-16 Back To The Country

Fresh milk from a jar
Sunrise comes up early
Cows munch green grass
Pigs happy in their hot slop
Chickens cluck in the pen
Crunchy veggies for lunch
Work hard in the sun all day
Sunset orange pink into purple
Crickets chirping off in the woods
Sweet country air in the cool night
Hypnotic moonlight illuminates us
Slow down quiet with no electricity
I really need to get back to the city

02-23-16 Memories Of The Future

on the floor
thinking

in slow motion
life everlasting

captured memories
snuggling the morning

subway blues again
rinse and repeat

heavy rains pouring
warmer winter

radiation mutations
cities under water

monster madness
midnight at the diner

be a hero today
help someone out

thirsty dinosaur
dirty dancing

disco revenge
modern messages

red hot lava lamp
flowing love light

hanging on
to the world

spinning
in a room

quiet shadows
dark sunshine

anxiety attack
hide inside

spill it all out
ride the moonlight

ghosts of tomorrow
whisper your name

02-22-16 Frosty Downtown Snow Drift

Snowstorm sizzle squeezes
Blizzard breezes on Broadway
Rolling with monsters at dinner
Fireworks on Fourteenth Street

Evil ever after in the evening
Winter wizards making snow angels
Slow motion silence frozen in time
Do you remember the old Palladium

Stolen snowflakes falling in a dance
Sparkling frost crystals twinkle around
On a frozen stroll through Union Square
It's not easy to catch a cab in a big storm

02-21-16 Listen To The Music Inside You

When you are at peace
When your mind is clear
When you are your true self
You will hear the song

Playing inside your heartbeat
Processing sonic information
The sounds that surround you
In everything you live and love

Follow the music inside you
Let it guide your wandering spirit
Toward your one and only destiny
Into the light shining beyond infinity

02-20-16 The Next Wave

Forward march into the future
The world awaits a new frontier
Clear discoveries straight ahead
Find a way to make it all better

Changing lanes to turn the tide
We have to come together to survive
No more wars to fight and no more hate
So now what are you going to do 

Fresh ideas changing old ways
Another perspective is born
A perfect storm of revolution
Our evolution is now complete



 

02-19-16 Peppermint Cherry Bomb Kisses

Capture the grateful grapes
Send it next door into the wall
Flashy guns and golden trophies
Read more books about science

Secret language signals slipped in
Lickable wallpaper tastes like pineapple
Frozen vulture faces morphing slowly
Shape shifting vampires in the shadows

Start the morning off in a white snow storm
Running in a blind slide across Fifth Avenue
Hot coffee maple syrup turkey bacon breakfast
Pick up a copy of the New York Post to read

Silent afternoon sunflower shower at the tower
Fighting rage locked inside the heart of a dragon
Glowing golden spotlight sensation on center stage
Evil messages are being transmitted to your heart

02-18-16 Riding The Bus All Night

Sitting in the shelter
Running away from pain
As hard rains pour down

The bus is cold and noisy
It hasn't been cleaned in a while
Dim green lights dot the walkway

A woman snores loudly
There is an odd ubiquitous odor
Frost crystallizes on my window

Frozen in silent isolation
Wrapped up in a lonely time warp
Lost somewhere out in the universe

You close your eyes
But you never really fall asleep
Dreaming while you are awake

Middle of the moonlit night
Engines roaring along the highway
Hope the driver doesn't fall asleep

02-17-16 Mermaids And Submariners

Down below
Sea horses float
The whales roar
Like thunder

Mermaids swim
In the deep blue
Oceans flowing
Around the world

Soldiers of Atlantis
Fighting vicious sharks
Diving with dolphins
Into ancient ruins

The mighty sea turtle
Two hundred years old
Peeking above the waves
Peaceful in rough waters

02-16-16 Dime Store Poetry

acid rains pour down
on the tops of our skulls

long day at the office
stress kills everything

I only have
a short time
to shine light
on you

it's quick
maybe too slick
back of the house
talk like that

sneak attack
copy the code
my master plan
hidden in sight

once every day
I let it bleed for you
subtracted by reality
long distance heart

hopelessly devoted
heavy metal heartbreak
lay it out on the floor
forbidden after hours

create your own world
craft a delicate web of words
kiss the heavy hearts of angels
that guide you through life

write it all down
cool attitude in the city
at the turn of the century
hungry to get to the top

confused thoughts scribbled
in my old spiral notebooks
moments recorded in time
flashing by faster than light

hot clubs every night
glitter bombed in the moonlight

lost souls wandering the darkness
sunrise comes to wash it all away

02-15-16 Cosmic Menagerie

Star child falling to Earth
Living in the spirit world
Ghost light burning bright
Magical beings from space
Native stories passed along
Spoken quietly in whispers
Witches won't mind anymore
Ancient creatures in hiding
Bizzarre monster sightings
Rocketship to the moonscape
Landing on the surface of Mars
Home to the underground caves
Traveling into another dimension
Sasquatch sleeping in the woods
Flying saucers surfing our skies
Alive inside the ancient legends

02-14-16 Good Old Dog

By my side
Faithful friend

Running in the grass
Wet with early morning dew
Come back later in the afternoon
Chasing squirrels around the park

As the years roll by
The amazing adventures continue
Until the time catches up with us
We sit quietly together until the end

02-13-16 Inside A Creative Space

We can communicate
Through expression
Shouting out loud
The words of love
Lost in the sounds
Of unlimited power
Casting magic spells
Subliminally spoken
Within subconscious
Messages in artwork
Where our demons
Are in the details
Crafted carefully
Out in the dark woods
Alone on the city streets
Drifting through space
Creating strange poems
In a free exchange of ideas

02-12-16 Yesterday Was A Dream

Return to better days
When we sipped soup
On cold winter nights
Watching old movies

It never really happened
At least not in that way
The colors were different
The smell was pretty funky

Life seemed so simple
But the pain was real
It's easier to forget it
Now that time has passed

02-11-16 Notorious Lobster Salesmen

The beauty of a butterfly
Crash your car into the sun
Volunteer to eat the universe
Monster shrimp on the beach

Robots running gas stations
Cash your check at the market
Crush your can on the sidewalk
Broken heart in a chocolate pool

Salvage the struggling civilization
Speak your mind in school tomorrow
Click your heels together three times
Remember our afternoon adventures

02-10-16 Fast Food In Your Face

Everything snaps into place nicely
Hot dogs rule the summer barbecue
Violent angels pushing evil philosophies
Tacos dripping with triple hot sauce

Loaded jokes exploding above your head
Baked potatoes overflowing with fixins
Love your family from deep inside your heart
Hot fresh pizza from my place on Eighth Avenue




   

02-09-16 Skipping Moon Stones

several stones
left over
from the moon
next door
glowing
on the
bedroom floor
seeking out
infinite powers
after hours
picking
fresh flowers
in another garden





 

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

signature spike ingredient snap
technical emotions baked cool
