07-09-16 Unlocking The Riddle Of Destiny

Skeletons on the family tree
You and him look just like me
Up and down around the sun
The final hour has begun

Gods and demons on the train
Whisper words inside your brain
Kiss away the world tomorrow
You are the one to heal the sorrow

Monsters on the moon next door
Have saved this planet once before
If we don't stop the threat of wars
We will be the next dinosaurs

07-08-16 Brothers And Sisters

Stand together
In peace
Side by side
Hand in hand

We the people
Are all united
As brothers and sisters
In the name of humanity

Stand up together
United in peace
Walking side by side
As brothers and sisters

07-07-16 Scent Of The Dawn

Early morning walk
Golden sun has begun
To paint the world alive

Breathing fresh air
Sweet breezes swish
Birds chirp together

Cool rush of comfort
The salty smell of summer
Delivered to your doorstep

07-06-16 To Repair A Broken Heart

Heal your soul

With sweet music

Warm sentiments

Honest poetry

The salt of tears

Strong hugs

A hand to hold

Time to listen

A kiss on the cheek

Love for all eternity 

07-05-16 Falling Awake

In the middle of the night
Failing to see any light
Through clouded thoughts
Running back and forth
Feelings of electrical ideas
Sparking a giant brainstorm
In the middle of the night
Failing to see any light
No sleep in sight

07-04-16 In The Dark Of Night

Explosions
Off in the distance

Screaming cries
Through the night sky

Rumble and shake
Inside an earthquake

Nightmare destiny
Damned in darkness

In the morning
There was nothing

07-03-16 Down At The Beach

Beautiful bluebirds fly
In sunny summer skies
Music to my eyes
Like the smell
Of fresh cut grass
Or polka dot bikinis
Sipping chilled martinis
At the shore before sunset
Around a blazing fire
Then dance until dawn
And do it all again tomorrow

07-02-16 Summer Festival Reflections

Open
Up
Your
Heart

Shine
Your
Love
Light

Drink
A
Cold
Beer

Dance
Barefoot
On
Grass

Listen
To
Sweet
Music

Sing
Your
Favorite
Song

07-01-16 More Or Less

Before you came into my life

My skies were a little less sunnier

My jokes were a little less funnier

Before you came into my life

My days were a little less exciting

My world was a little less inviting

Now that you are in my life

My jokes are a little more funny

My skies are a little more sunny

Now that you are in my life 

My world is a little more inviting

My days are a little more exciting

06-30-16 Reflections On Expressions

Surfing supersonic waves

Splashing in green laser beams

Locked into the eternal struggle

Colorful imagination comes alive

Delicate sounds of illumination

Brighten up your days on a high note

Morphing into a deep dark dirty hole

Spiraling into endless oblivion

Kiss the spell of magic fire 

Lick the soft skin of creativity

Express your soul in the sky

Artistic explosions in your heart

06-29-16 The Passion Of Liberty

Reach for the new wave
Another way to live fast
Stuck in slow motion video
Under the electric sunshine

Fireworks in the night sky
Music echoes in the streets
Old brick buildings crumble
While the kids dance and sing

Remember the joyous feeling
Let it flow from inside you
Your heart is full of light
Another reason to smile

Wild ride through town
Philadelphia freedom train
Seek out positive energies
Then spread it all around

06-28-16 Cookies In The Bathtub

Birthday gift
In my mailbox
And I don't know
What it is

When I got home
I opened the box
And I saw a superhero doll
It was exactly what I wanted

Then it turned into Christmas
So we went to the beach
We saw a flying man in the sky
Then we saw TV in the sand
And there was a sandcastle
Sitting on somebody's head

We all had Christmas cookies

06-27-16 Midtown In Motion

Traffic continues to flow
Down Fifth Avenue all day
Racing into tomorrow's future
Love pushes all the buttons

Hipsters hustle in the morning
Fast talkers rushing late to work
Fire engine red sirens screaming
Symphony of city sounds singing

Famous footsteps on the block
Walking with ghosts of greatness
Capture the spirit of revolution
To create beautiful artwork

06-26-16 If I Had Stayed Silent

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
heard my voice

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
received my message

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
changed your mind

if i had stayed silent
you would never have
changed the world

06-25-16 Thirteen Secret Codes

Bring your dreams to life

Daylight comes too soon

Drink the electric Kool Aid

Wake up before the dawn

Discover ancient pyramids

Flying saucers coast overhead

Sasquatch hiding in the woods

Sea monsters splashing around

A boost of universal energies

Harness the powers of existence 

Ancient mysteries uncovered

Secrets evolve into the truth

Our destiny is set into motion

06-24-16 Psychedelic Radiation

I land on an island
To escape the city

Country lemonade
Political recreation

Revolution revolving
Evolving evolution

Involving pollution
Prostitution or institution

Mushrooms make it spicy
Interesting visualization

Pink ponies try trotting
On Stoney Ridge Road

I'm in love with a mountain
Heartbroken and excited

Look into the forest
Deep into your eyes

Don't forget to lose
My number gun

Fun sunshine syrup
Stories on the highway

Hungry for affection
Reflection in the pool

Mirror mirror melting
Faces stolen in molten lava

Swirling in sterling silver
Diamonds in your soul

Blood in the newspaper
Read between the lions

Reading dirty magazines
Appreciate the art of comics

Cartoon hallucinations
On a trip to inner space

Recipe to rule your brain
Listen to the music play

06-23-16 Serpents In Your Home

Slippery snake

In through the exit

Moving slowly 

Then the attack

Hide in the grass

Slip into shadows

Seduce with a smile

Hidden agenda

The face of evil

Burning yellow eyes

Rattle in the distance

Can't trust a murderer

Best hand forward

Shake the skin back

The bite is worse

Venom kills quickly

06-22-16 Disconnected Connections

Above just another time
When we couldn't resist
The tension that had grown
Between the connection
And disconnected spaces
Which roam free in the web
Poisoning the heart of minds

The dangers are real today
When you shop around town
Between the bedroom sheets
And disconnected spirituality
On the road to self awareness
Where flying fish are landing
Inside visual display screens

It's all over the internet today
They sold your dirty pictures
Now you'll never be real again
When the news hits the streets
Between broken bonds of love
And disconnected emotions
Beyond the boundaries of life

06-21-16 Underground Darkness

into the tunnels
way down deep
below the streets

where monsters lurk
shadows grow stronger
in complete darkness

06-20-16 Playing With My Son At The Park

Walking in the sunshine
Holding your little hand
On our way to the park
To play ball together
Running around laughing
In beautiful green fields

06-19-16 Kids In Space

Floating in space
Surfing the stars
Playing in the yard
On our trip to the moon

Astronaut explorers
In the final frontier
Dancing on Jupiter
Fly away with you

Zero gravity adventure
Meeting little green men
Riding the tail of a comet
On a sunny day in the universe

06-18-16 Nap Time Daydream

Working hard all morning
Lifting up large walls of brick
Pushing all available strength
Mighty powerful explosion

The root cause of mayhem
Is misfired primal passion
Misguided in the wrong place
I wish we could go back again

Drink another cold lemonade
Mild sweat on the skin's surface
Hot summertime sunshine sting
Light makes you feel alive

Listening to undecided voices
Split open in another direction
Fire the missle in the middle
Fall asleep in the afternoon shade

06-17-16 The Red Wine Diaries

Scrambled brains in the morning
Red wine for breakfast all afternoon
Walk through the park on your way
Talk to the animals at the city zoo

Don't tell me you don't love this
Don't you want to try some more
It's all my fault at the end of the day
Open another bottle of red wine now

Wake up screaming after midnight
Turns out it wasn't a nightmare anyway
Sleeping anywhere at any time tomorrow
Can't remember yesterday or five days ago

Paranoid about the private eyes watching
Hiding out in plain sight at the public library
Reading books as if life depended on it
Then spill a bottle of red wine all over

Last ditch attempt to save a lost soul
Damage control at the final hour of time
Blurred lines between red wine and blood
This is no way to go through life

06-16-16 Back To Nature

head space
in a quiet place
far away from cars
far away from people

breathe in the trees
walk in the rain
swim in the air
sleep in the grass

out in the green forest
peaceful in deep woods
balanced with the planet
blending into the wilderness

06-15-16 Power Of Music

My wish
would be
that instead
of picking up
machine guns
people would
pick up
electric guitars

The power
of music
can affect
more people
than the power
of violence

06-14-16 Sitting On Sexy Furniture

midnight Monday
full moon on the prowl
rose rising clothesline
earthquake milkshake

glitter business family
dancing into the past tense
in a penthouse apartment
high above the city below

nothing but net on a jet
swift decision throwing up
sweet candy dish growing up
out at the ballpark on Sunday

champagne popping warriors
spraying money all over you
spilling the dark secret news
or pretend that it never happened

06-13-16 Dark Side Haiku

Demons inside you
Thirsting for evil vengeance
Ready to break free

06-12-16 Wildfire

judgement
is coming
you will need
to pick a side

good or evil
light or dark
love or hate
right or wrong

find your spirituality
hold on tight to your faith
find the spark inside your heart
and let it spread like wildfire

06-11-16 Something Out Of Nothing

heart beat
race
pulse pounding
from within
the enemy
among us
to prosper in time
against the flow
of energy
 moving slowly
going down
when the face
melts everywhere
serendipitous
for destiny
beyond the gold
on the road
licking salt wounds
while driving home
  call it all back
cattle drive up above
the fields are alive
with the sounds
of salvation
  flying like an angel
invading your life
for a short time
while making
an incredible impact
that will last forever

06-10-16 Double Heart Punch

We spend
the first
half of
our lives
making friends
and falling in love

We spend
the second
half of
our lives
losing friends
and feeling the pain

06-09-16 Seven Seas

Capture the incredible energy

Cultivate a great environment

Create a vibe of instant invincibility

Challenge the standard description

Collect experiences for a living

Clean up the planet for tomorrow

Clown around and crush the groove

06-08-16 Lost Poet

lost another poetry slam
drank too much and fell asleep
forgot to remember all that stuff
nothing to write about

along another open road
burning messages in a fire pit
won't let it grow for too long
seeking knowledge is not enough

work at it as hard as you can
don't ever stop creating dreams
never give up when you fail
rise up strong and live to write again

06-07-16 Late Show At The Old Fillmore

Electric infinity visits us here

For a brief flash if you catch it

Sucked inside an energy vortex 

Into the center of the universe 

Voices singing for eternity

Songs playing in the old style

Imagination is the only ticket

Sounds still echo in a chorus

Immortal warriors on stage

Digging the vibe of the moment

Light show visions tickle your mind

So much to see right in front of me

Best seats in the house for the show

Legends create misty masterpieces

Old psychedelic jazz musicians

This place is haunted by ghosts

06-06-16 The Owl Knows

The wise old owl
Watches time pass
As seasons change
Cycles of life revolve

The wise old owl knows
He watched your father grow
He's been watching you too
Since the day you were born

06-05-16 Birthplace Of Urban Decay

spray paint on the wall
it all happened on the ramp
on the roof of the garage
ghosts appear like a mirage

06-04-16 Rope A Dope

The art of the fight
A poet in a slaughterhouse
Find the right words
To destroy with grace

A flurry of fury pummeling
Punches from every direction
Slow down and wait for the moment
Then attack with everything you've got

Battle for what you believe in
Recite poetry to your opponents
Knock down the walls in your way
Sting like a bee but float like a butterfly

06-03-16 Rainy Midtown Morning

rainy midtown morning rush
taxi cabs splashing through puddles
umbrellas of all different colors
broken bottle glass on the sidewalk

heavy rains explode into a downpour
people soaked scatter in the streets
seeking shelter under some scaffolding
this city needed a good wash out today

06-02-16 Silence In The City

Tasting violence
Finding the science
Behind silence

Or

The art of being
Left alone
In New York City

Instead of always running
From the punks who are gunning
To take you down and push ahead

Sirens wailing car alarms blasting
Garbage trucks slamming steel
Crash bang boom boom bang crash

Help me find a quiet place
To reflect upon my thoughts
To hear the music in my heart

06-01-16 Vampire Seduction

Soft spoken eyes
Hypnotized
In shadows
Under a spell

Passionate kiss
Romantic bliss
Say good night
Then a bite

Licking wounds
Sucking blood
Go to sleep
Live for eternity

05-31-16 Hamburger Satisfaction

Between toasted buns
Crunchy fried onions
Spicy barbecue sauce
Sour garlic dill pickle

Monster burger
Hot off the grill
Juicy on the inside
With a side of fries

The best part
Of the burger
Is sharing it
With you

05-30-16 In The Warm Light

warm light
on a foggy night
me and my girl
driving slowly
down a dirt road
out in the woods

warm light
growing brighter
radio silence
engine shuts off
headlights flicker
the fog gets thicker

warm light
blinding our vision
senses are numb
wake up in a corn field
out by an old farm
but this is not planet Earth

05-29-16 Get Up To Get Down

Out on the runway
Surfing highs and lows
Ride the wave all night
Then burn and crash

Rise to the occasion
Boogie down to the sound
Found running around
At the disco after dawn

Sleep it off all day long
Wake up dreaming in color
Living for the excitement
Dancing out in the universe

05-28-16 Shine And Rise

Voices in the morning
Coffee on the countertop
Music on the stereo
Sun shining brightly

Birds chirping merrily
Children running to school
Laughing all the way
The start of a great new day

People on the subways
Jammed into crawling trains
Reading their newspapers
Everyone is late for work

05-27-16 Into A Kingdom Of Puzzles

Up from the breeze

Out inbetween

Inverse and see 

Painting the sweets

Bubbles of beauty

Somewhere sonic

Sleepwalking solid

Insanefully honest

Invasions begin 

Behind the scenes 

Dreaming in reverse

Waxwork body wash

Visions of tomorrow

Lights of life in flight

Masterworks of pain

Killing the softness 

Letting go for never

Electric orange dawn

Undercover giants 

Restaurant storage

Politics on the moon

Bring you to the limit

Kissing the toughness 

Congress won't listen

Class act all the way

Romantic heart fire

Legalize your love

05-26-16 The Great Old Poet In The Woods

Living alone
In an old cabin
Deep in the dark woods
Eating scraps of food
Quietly contemplating
Whatever comes to mind
Exploring every thought
Writing it all down

05-25-16 Uptown Snow Angels

Reaching out to you
From out of the blue
From inside this bubble
We might be in trouble

On the thirteenth floor
Looking down below
People on the streets
Buried in a snowstorm

Angels across Fifth Avenue
Grab a quick slice of pizza
Run to catch an uptown train
Wind up jumping in a cab instead

Flying through the East Side
Under the spell of the moon
Crossing the Queensboro Bridge
City lights sparkling in the night

05-24-16 High Tech Haiku

Struggle to keep up
Technology evolving
You are obsolete

05-23-16 When Artists Ruled The World

LIGHTER THAN THIN AIR
WALKING ACROSS BROADWAY
ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON
REMEMBERING HOW THESE STREETS
USED TO LOOK BEFORE THE BIG BOOM
NOW LOST IN THE UNDERGROUND

BUILDINGS COVERED IN POSTERS
ROCK STARS HANGING OUT ON SIDEWALKS
LONG NIGHTS TURNING INTO EARLY DAYS
POETS MAKING LOVE TO PAINTERS
IN AN EXPLOSION OF EXPRESSION
UNTIL THE GALLERIES FADED AWAY

IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH
THE OLD SPIRIT IS STILL HERE
IT'S NOT AS EASY TO SEE IT
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR
BUT THE OLD CHARACTERS EXIST
THE FIRE STILL BURNS INSIDE

CREATORS BLEEDING EMOTIONS
HANGING OUT AT THE OLD HAUNTS
FINDING HIDDEN MASTERPIECES
PAINTED OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO
WHERE THE MUSIC ONCE PLAYED
WHEN ARTISTS RULED THE WORLD

05-22-16 Universal Mind Designs

A unique identity
Out in the universe
Where it all exists

Iconic images
Infinite by design
Always inspirational

Planting seeds
Inside the fertile mind
Of modern civilization

Thoughts and ideas
Growing through the years
Blooming in a beautiful garden

05-21-16 It's A New Day

soft freshness 
of quiet stillness
in the warm air
as dawn breaks
light spills out
across the planet
the world awakens

a new day is born

05-20-16 All Night Moves

the morning sunrise

is a beautiful time to be alive

slow walk to the newsstand 

to get a cup of hot coffee 

lost in scattered thoughts

patterns in a bed of shadows

peaceful heart shining on you

switching reality somewhere else

another slide in the wrong place

cold air chills in odd directions

those are evil demons lurking 

they are in this room right now

washed up again in paranoia

create something special

05-19-16 Mystery Six

Are you with us

Pinpoint the precise location
The storm will make it's way home
Bad weather lurking up ahead

Try to stay on the line

In the absence of distress
Emergency frequency radio call
Crack the discrete codes

Find a way to love your life

05-18-16 Chelsea Hotel #313

found my way down
onto the floor of the garden
covering a frozen bed of ice
looking out onto twenty third
where so many others once stood
singing a thousand sweet songs
to trigger the spirits of sound
music legends in the room
amazing energies contained
hotel destruction renovations
ghosts linger in the old walls

05-17-16 We'll Always Have Vegas

Robots in charge
Second place finish
Flash piece swing
Hot motorcycle hit
Missed opportunities
Suffer embarrassment
Coconut hotel high rise
Fire first thing tonight
Out on the town again
Doing casinos in style
Raining cold cash money
Free drinks before the party
Bottle service breakdown
Kick the heavy pavement
Even harder next time
Wind up face down

05-16-16 Animals Are People Too

Rhinoceros at the dinner table
Ferocious beasts having tea
Lion kingdom in midtown
City streets for jungle love

Elephants in the room tonight
Apologies accepted at the zoo
Wilderness secrets to success
Rat race snakes hunt in shadows

Birds sing beautiful songs
Creature comforts create culture
Vultures have no shame today
Emotional giraffes cry inside

Gorillas grow gardens of greatness
Butterflies fly over shiny rainbows
The call of all wild roars in the store
Hippopotamus spending too much money

05-15-16 About Everything

inner landing

       push it up the tube


           rocket ship space command


   slaves to electric radiation

            the time traveler was right





                   about everything




   
      at Earth's final hour


mankind spiraling toward extinction


             Sasquatch survives it all


  swimming with mermaids


              in Loch Ness with the monster 


telling spooky ghost stories


                watching flying saucers


    off in the distance


                            far away beyond the stars

          into an alternate dimension 


        where you are reading this poem


                      somewhere

                      
                       in the future
                       
         

05-14-16 Old Photos In A Shoe Box

too many memories
come flooding back
in a tsunami of emotion

good times in the sunshine
birthdays and beach days
baseball games and barbecues

too much fun to care
we were unaware
that it wouldn't last

05-13-16 Capture Your Imagination

Seeing from a new viewpoint
Find the guts to tell the truth
Spill your secrets to the world

Change your perspective
Respecting timeless classics
The beauty of interpretation 

Colors have become abstract 
Hidden messages speak to you
On your search for enlightenment 

Surround yourself with art
Inspire yourself with creativity
Free yourself with expression

05-12-16 Earth Mother

A hidden garden
Only the birds know

Vines entwined
You'll never find it

Pure heart of beauty
Sacred energy of nature

Secret treasure buried
Deep within the woods

Glowing in the light of day
Illuminated center of the universe

05-11-16 Ugly Naked

never
walk away
with money
on the table

look away
as you walk
right out
that door

yesterday
you looked
like trash
on TV

breakfast
whiskey sin
sunrise begins
over exposed

we don't care
you fit right in
riding high by
dawn's early light

05-10-16 Earthquake Vibrations

Fires burning black smoke sky
Total destruction everywhere
Buildings crumble to the ground
People sleeping in the park

Slippery wheels in a gas tube
Swirl around to think about it
Win the game for tomorrow
Break out another hot number

Cool dreams running through
Another slick magic trick fix
Full of secret knowledge keys
Nature unlocked all the doors

Wisdom from a cup of tea leaves
See the future before you know it
Ghosts tell you about the lightness
Demons tempt you with wickedness

Hollywood rebels cruise the strip
Dolphins swimming with mermaids
Unicorns sing to the flying saucers
Falling in love with the stars above

05-09-16 Buzz Word Torture

don't drag me
away from
your heart

dragon smile
fire in the sky
golden treasure

urban decay music
tough kids in town
run away tomorrow

baseball game
blues subdued
glued to the news

tattoo artwork
living graffiti
underground

on the mountain
breathing fresh air
watching birds fly

cartoon animals
sweet dreams tonight
sugar plumb fairies

fabric of the universe
drifting through time
explode into space

05-08-16 In Memory Of Mommy

Empty pages remain
Unwritten

Favorite bed time stories
Untold

Silent dreams forgotten
Memories

We are left here all alone
Without you

05-07-16 Spike The Punch

Kick the fear
Behind your ear
Or drive your car

Kiss the train
Will cause you pain
Inside your brain

Live the dream
Between the cream
Swimming in steam

Flaunt your style
Like a crocodile
Going the extra mile

05-06-16 Top Of The World

Fast fashion slip and slide
Cocktail parties with crazy DJs
Exposure to a life of luxury

High on the mighty mountain top
Quiet meditation in a sanctuary
Spiritual freedom to fly with eagles

05-05-16 Destiny On Fire

You can be a catalyst
You can make a change
You can shift the dynamic
You can make it happen

Save a life
Save the world

05-04-16 Zombie Love Poem

You licked my heart
With a forked tongue
You took a big bite
And left me for dead

But I rose from the grave
To get my sweet revenge
Then I hunted you down
And ate your brains for lunch

05-03-16 Disco Supernova

Mirrors have 
seen it all

Hypnotic lights
flashing colors

Dance floor
masterpiece

Bodies moving
to the beat

Sweet music
in your soul

Caught you
under the spell

Kiss and tell
when you die

05-02-16 Visions Of Trouble Ahead

Seeing clear signs
Stop before it's too late
The water is polluted
A virus is spreading fast

Dreams of fire and ice
They walked in casually
Plot was in place yesterday
Business as usual for demons

Far out in the red zone
Reading napkin covers
Across the street sideways
Parked in an old car sleeping

Good old timeless classics
Never ever disappoint you
Dinosaur radio fast track
Live on thin air at midnight

Drive over there at night
Crazy on fire in the winter
Swing across the diamond
Off hand comments are heavy

Radioactive monster show music
Mobsters eating lobsters for dinner
Catch a rising star on the avenue
Fools sit with their back to the door

Runaway train trauma traffic jam
Defensive indifference to comments
Decoding the Olympic predictions
Something is brewing in the shadows

05-01-16 Spock's Brain Haiku

Most illogical
Half human and half vulcan
Live long and prosper

04-30-16 Trip Through A Time Portal

Layers of literature
Sitting here
Listening to her

Writing adventurous
Words of wisdom
For breakfast today

Love for lunch
Hot coffee simmers
Fresh country summers

In an orgy of sinners
The saints remain
To leave with angels

Don't wait for life
Run out and find it
Chase it if you have to

Sleep all day
Miss the best part
Sweet sunshine

City in the night
Diamond sparkle
Parking ticket

Licking lollipops
Charming when it counts
Like a cartoon warrior

They live up in the sky
Your mother should know
Never to go back there

Too cool to swim
After school this afternoon
Diving off the high board

Crunchy or silent charms
Moon boots in the house
Master advanced painting

We went back to see
Hendrix at the Fillmore
On New Years Eve

Someone stole
My purple ticket stub
So I had to sneak in

04-29-16 Best Buds

Fresh fire
Light up the sky
Make everybody
Feel high

Good time
Sunshine smile
Close friends
Wild music

04-28-16 Prayer To The Universe

I am begging
the universe

to help me
through hell

to give me strength
so I can keep fighting

to give me love
so I don't feel so alone

to give me light
so I can lead the way

04-27-16 Indigo Substitute Enigma

Too far over the edge
Send yourself some flowers
Pushed hard enough this time
Push back against the crush

Kill the dollar bill for a thrill
Change your personality today
Keep your hands to yourself
Don't let the horse kick your face

Rock star radio station blackout
Protection in a safe zone forever
Kiss your game goodbye tonight
Stand up for those who have no voice

04-26-16 Pictures Of A Hot Dream

Wizards casting a spell on you
Under the trance of a magic trick
Twenty Third Street shuffle down
Hop back uptown on the subway

Junk shop horror movie supermarket
Freak show fairytale nightmare dream
Sipping a cup of hot coffee on the corner
Reading the morning newspaper headlines

Faster than flowers can grow
Hard work multiplies by five
Let your hat fly away in the wind
This will be the last time you cry

Turn around sideways talking
Backwards double trouble bubble
Own the way you play your game
A foreign substance was used to win

The machine wrapped around you
Spirits of darkness wash over everything
Slaving away in summer morning sun
Stapling vines to the back of the fence

Steel split on a wooden tree wheel
Superman might not have to agree
Capture the important changes now
Holding on to the secret inspiration

War stories told on a park bench
Creatures on a crosstown express bus
Watching crowds of people hustle
Writing it all down in my notebook

04-25-16 Apartment Building Hideaway

Hidden in darkness
Walls all around
Quiet stillness
Of nothing

Echoes in the hallway
A baby cries somewhere
High heels running
Click clack click clack

A squeaky door creaks
Voices chatter upstairs
Muffled conversations
Vibrations of music

Alone in a dark room
Protected from the outside
Like a concrete womb
Frozen in hibernation

04-24-16 Spirits Of The Old Neighborhood

The years pass
Slow but so fast
Memories linger
Energies left behind

Trees have seen
Seasons change
And everything
In between

Rusted fences stand
Brick walls are taller
Footsteps on the path
Voices speak softly

Ghosts transcend
Boundaries of time
Living inside echoes
Walking in your shoes

04-23-16 Painting Pictures Of Silly Things

Saturday morning glory
Sitting on the living room floor
Painting pictures with my son
Laughing at silly things we create

A rhinoceros swimming in chocolate milk
Purple orange polka dotted Lamborghini
Raspberry skies swallowing a quiet city
Forty birds dancing on a frosted cupcake

Spilled paint on the rug but we don't care
It's so much fun to play with my son
These are the greatest times of my life
I'm happy to be sharing them with you

04-22-16 Purple Mother

Virtuoso soul screaming
Electric beauty out loud
First time you heard it live
Blasting from a boom box

Epic revelation 
Sonic revolution

04-21-16 Nothing Comes Easy

Purple elephant wonderland symphony
Nobody cares about your problems
Spiral lizard blizzard on danger island
We've all had our hearts broken

Failures can be difficult to handle
Large birds can fly around the sun
Success is defined by how you survive
Unicorns keep a low profile at dinner

Holographic evidence of intelligence
Heal the wounds deep down inside
Butterflies fly into the near future
We all live with the pain of death

04-20-16 Rise Of The Robots

Magnetic attraction trends
Support the chaos of mankind
Fighting along on the food chain
Destructive engagement with danger

Rage against tomorrow's truth
Evolution has already begun to change
When humanity finally becomes mechanized
Computers will take over the entire planet

04-19-16 I Believe In The Magic Of Nature

sanctuary from the blood storm
supreme jewels hidden inside
stolen radiation bombs below us

kiss the root of all evil goodbye
silent darkness in hollywood square
laugh all the way to the funny pages

science fiction fairytale lifestyle scene
it comes to you in a fantastic dreamscape
knocked out cold in the late afternoon

sasquatch seekers believe in nature's magic
flying saucer enthusiasts want to believe
ghosts and goblins creep around at night

none of it makes a difference without love
save Mother Earth from the ravages of humanity
don't let people destroy the entire planet

04-18-16 April Awakens

Spring fling
Snowflakes sing
Their swan song

Cherry blossom
Blooming fresh
Global warming

Cool breezes
Bees stinging
Birds singing

Another chance
Straight from the heart
To make a new start

04-17-16 Dedicated To The Dragon Scene

Wild nights on the other side
New fire flowers blooming
Another way to see the light
Spreading her butterfly wings

The kids all hang out together
Down by the ramp at the park
Learning how to change time
Save the world with an idea

Create a new future blueprint
Soak up pop culture in a vacuum
Then spit it all out into society
Art is the mess left over at the end

04-16-16 Stardust Dreams

Our dreams live
Up in the sky
So bright and vast
Incredible and unknown

Our dreams reach
For the stars above
In the midnight sun
Across the universe

Our dreams fly
High into the heavens
Wondering what awaits us
Up there beyond everywhere

04-15-16 In A Lonely Subway Station

Sitting on the cold steps
In a lonely subway station
Reading last week's paper
Waiting for a late late train

Sleeping on a hard bench
In a lonely subway station
Can't read or write or add
Waiting for a late late miracle

04-14-16 Things That Go Bump

Sitting alone
Hearing strange noises
In the next room

Is it a ghost
Is it a mouse
Is it a monster
Is it a neighbor

The noises are getting louder
The presence is moving closer
Trying to attract my attention

I am not afraid
I'm out of here

04-13-16 The Content Between Words

Rhythm of the highway
Running wild in our veins
Informing future minds
Destroyed by television

Lions wandering the forest
Starving for fresh knowledge
Hunting in a jungle wasteland
Savage scenes from the streets

Intense reckless ideas exchanged
Elevate your spiritual practices now
Kissing clowns at the electric circus
Push the boundaries of blind insanity

04-12-16 Werewolf Haiku

Children of the night
Howling up at the moonlight
Haunting your nightmares

symbols of centuries of decline
contacted by men from the stars

mirrors shifting images into history

lined up lying on the inside out
tossed fresh dough ready to go
hot bread locked up to spread
gold crystal diamond spirituality

04-10-16 Church Of Evil

The cult of doom is following you
Follow us and change the world

Stand with us in the shadows
Thirst for bloody destruction

Fighting against progress
Crusading against peace

Plot the fall of civilization
Darkness will rise with us

04-09-16 Lobsterfest

superstitious jelly fingers
extinct octopus singers blink
giant pools of blackout punch
reading books in the darkness

orange juice ocean fantasy island
cheddar bay biscuits for dinner

04-08-16 Chelsea Hotel #1017

Study the world
Killing time precisely
Surgical execution
Capture the moment

Spilled ink on the floor
Hypnotic glow of insanity
Creative energies flow
Speaking to our souls

Back to the city lights
Dreams of illumination
Experience in the walls
Vibrations though time

Frightened by the fire
Magic power in the castle
Existing everywhere together
Sharing the joy of creation

One Morning
The Sun
Will Rise
But
No One
Will Be
There To
Enjoy It

04-06-16 Rocketship Astronaut

strong enough to say goodbye
the spaceman boards his ship
he's going to miss his friends
outer space is a lonely place

frozen in time for a century
he missed out on all the fun
will his home planet still exist
when he comes back from his trip

04-05-16 Forever Fresh

Music is universal communication
Beats bring you to a spiritual place
Thunder drum pounding sounds
Heartbeat rhythm thumping

Green beauty crunch
Cold water morning
Crisp spring splash
Cool breezes blowing

Catch of the day
Hot from the oven
Cooked to perfection
Delicious and natural

Slick moves laid down
Ghetto blaster boom box
Sharp threads spread out
Kings of the neighborhood

04-04-16 Earthlings After The Invasion

After the endless night
We escaped the battlefield
Making our way through
Mazes of underground tunnels

Surviving on bags of potato chips
Drinking soda cans to stay awake
So hard to think about life as it was
So much has changed in no time at all

Save our friends from destruction
We will rise up against the invaders
Their ships cannot land on the ground
We'll make our break in a few days

Running away from the aliens
Hunted by deadly robot armies
Hiding out until the invasion ends
Deliver our human souls from evil

04-03-16 Love Love Love

Overflowing with love
Love is in the air today
Spilled into the universe
Chasing magic unicorns

Follow the warmth of love
Keep love alive in your heart
Use unlimited love to heal pain
Heartbeat across the centuries

Love the life you live everyday
Hugs and kisses all over town
Empathy sympathy sweet candy
Sending all my love to you now

04-02-16 Creepers

Strange vibrations
Ghostly visitations
Green monsters grow
From down below

Answers from above
A quick flash in the night
Shadow creatures stalking
Out of the corner of my eye

Blood suckers undercover
Lovers of all that is eerie
In a menagerie of oddities
Evolved from dark evil

Howling out in the woods
Old spirit of the witch world
Silent visions of sunken graves
Eerie fog reveals a new dimension

04-01-16 Concrete Jungle Symphony

Lions on the prowl
Wild jungle politics
In your own backyard

Chaos in the streets
Time to hit the deck
Smashed glass shattered

Fireballs in the distance
Ambulance sirens ring out
Screaming in the night sky

Ultra fast communication
Total faith in the system
Tall buildings are watching
