04-10-17 Phoenix Nest

broken parts won't work
houses with no foundation
crumbling to the ground
remembering the old times

rumble through the rubble
rot out the heart from within
find the golden spirit inside
rise up and build a new home

04-09-17 Forgotten Child

Robots in the old attic
Flash forward to yesterday
Shoebox full of baseball cards
Childhood collecting dust

04-08-17 The Extinction Flu

Chicken soup won't cure it
Everyone seems to have it
We can't seem to get rid of it
Humanity might die from it

04-07-17 On The Bench

Sitting on the bench
You'll never get anywhere
Until you stand up to leave
Walk away and don't look back

04-06-17 Broken Umbrellas

The heaviest rains
always seem to come
when what you need
is warmth from the sun

04-05-17 Secret Badass

Spikes in the full moon
Magnetic charm of passion
Playing in darkness forever
Not enough coffee in heaven
Listen for the cries of hope

Drinking nine bottles of wine
Fourteenth Street isn't the same
You'd rather exploit some artists
Walking down a fashion runway
Smoking hot on a ripe Saturday

Plastic electricity in my veins
Elastic eccentricity in my brains
However it works you must confess
For the click to tick a different story
Drive inside with your top down now

We didn't let the cool kids win the war
You must find me in this strange labyrinth
Walking amongst aliens in a forbidden city
The new style dictates that we must relax
He won't return your phone calls anyway

04-04-17 Across The Island

passion under hypnotics
untangled in this mess
magic colors blending
melted faces in the mirror
flying through midnight
shining bright in your heart
but the clock has run out
there's no more time to wait
scream your brains out tonight
do what is right and do it now

04-03-17 Ink

Thought bubbles blink
The worst things to think
Catch me if you can wink
Twice as many skunks stink

04-02-17 Mother Nature's Return

Trees growing up
Through cracks
In the sidewalks

Green grass flowing
In fields of old debris
Beyond the city limits

Beautiful flowers thrive
Between broken bricks
Through thick ivy vines

When civilization crumbles
Mother Nature takes over
To reclaim what is hers

04-01-17 Monster Lobster

Larger than a giant turkey
Hard shell soft meaty tail
Battle in open ocean waters
Butter sauce dripping all over

Wild madness unveiled
Red hot logic excites us
Whisper loud poetry here
Send a man to the moon

Caught up into a robot web
Catch me if you can spy games
Last train at the station tonight
Pouring rain outside in the cold

These kids knew how to rule
The school never let them grow
Now their zombie brains glow
And the ghost lobsters explode

03-30-17 Dolphin Splash

Cool coastline
Sea shells sparkle
Enlightened
In the salty air

Out on the boat
In open waters
Seagulls swoop
In shining sun

Golden beauty
Dolphins splash
Swimming sweet
Ocean dreams

03-29-17 Into Hyperspace

A million miles away
From home out alone
Only in dreams again

Fly back to the nest
The rest will all fall
In place without a trace

Skip the fanfare aware
Prepare for an eruption
Make the jump to light speed

03-28-17 Never Silent Again

I'm sorry
that I
didn't fight
harder

I should
have stood
up for what
was right

Too much
time has
passed by
to cry

But I
won't ever
be silent
again

03-27-17 Time Benders

On another journey
We walk a new road
In the center of the city
Fresh from outer space

Looking glass hallways
Traveling through time
Changing world history
Checking out the dinosaurs

Working hard to pay
Bills piling up again
Opportunities don't knock
The future isn't what it used to be

And the planets rejoice
Exploding in the galaxy
Add another new name

Best record in baseball
More wins than anyone
Headed for the hall of fame

Planted in dirt
Out in fields
Of fresh grass

Fresh air whispers
The bugs are out
Birds sing my song
Sunshine smiles

Lick my eyeball

Bite my spleen

Snap my spine

Slap your gut

Scratch your ear

Punch your tongue

Pinch your lung

Ten shots of tequila in the afternoon

Once in
A
While

Spread
The love
Around
The World

03-21-17 Killer Filler

It can make you sick
Or slicker than you are
Kissers are all the rage
But the filler is substance

Take the money from babies
Ruin the party for everyone
Stolen from those who need
Dismantled in mere minutes

Right down the center line
Behind the back door train storm
Leave it all out on the platform
Sleep down in the strange subways

Fly in the face of total destruction
These guys are corrupt and guilty
You got scammed and have to pay
Wake me up when the nightmare ends

03-20-17 Superhero With A Broken Heart

Thirteen broken hearts again
Battle the evil villains at large
Go fishing for the day instead
Relax about it and don't worry

Strength through the sadness
Crazy creatures of darkness
Expose your feelings for free
Hold my hand all day long

Hook the game with confidence
Pressure on you to perform well
Spend your days working harder
Save the world in your spare time

03-17-17 Alive At This Moment

Fish swimming in the oceans
Soft breezes blowing at sunset
The universe is at peace

Hidden in pictures
Quiet on the fringes
Peace in perpetuity
Losers can win it all

03-15-17 Frozen Vampires

Coming closer
Breathing down
The back of your neck
Until they bite

Now you walk
With the undead
Flirting with eternity
Romancing monsters
Roaming the night
In search of blood

early morning

03-12-17 Haunt Of Darkness

Cold winds gusting

Eerie silence lingers
Black smokes rises
Out in the distance
Under the full moon

Suddenly screaming
Something so evil
Then silence again
Lost in the darkness

03-11-17 Snowy Surprise

flash language garbage
orange fancy flowers
fighting for freedoms
dangerous message machine

03-08-17 When The End Comes

It may happen slowly
Over a long period of time
Or it may happen suddenly
Without any warning at all

But no matter how it happens
Make no mistake about it
We are living in the end times
And mass destruction is coming

03-07-17 Boomerang

If I ever leave
I will always
Come back to you

On a branch

Baby birds
Singing songs
Waiting to fly

03-05-17 Honey Sweet Sun Drops

Leopard skinned leprechaun
Destruction is not the only problem
We are about to be invaded again
Wishing for a better future ahead

Kiss the sun on my floor at dawn

Lazy river rocket ship revolution
Kick back and get a better chance

Fire is furious with a new flame
Loud music in my headphones
Subway riders riddle in the middle
Missed the train on my way home

Try fancy fresh foods
Extend your bridges
Make some new friends
Sneak out quietly

03-01-17 Smaller Circus

Down the street all night
Waiting to wish upon a star

Champagne glass on the corner
High heels clicking on the sidewalk
Charming moonlight illuminated

After hours jam session sparks
Daylight brightens outside silently
Morning comes way too soon

Shooting hot red laser beams 

Wishing you sweet dreams

I left this here for you
To read once in a while
Long after I am gone
On those lonely days

You can always find me here
Speaking straight from my heart
About nothing in particular
Or about everything at once

But if you are feeling sad
Please know that I love you
More than you can measure
Nothing can ever take that away

If I was there with you right now
We'd be laughing and singing
Dancing and playing in our world
Together like best friends forever

Until they become angry

Risk is having to get the money fast
Catch up with my new favorite song
Fireworks at the end will never come

destroying your destiny for a few weeks
crystal kisses created for the best of your heart

Standing with the protest kids

And those girls still roll their eyes

Bring back your light

where I wandered through life
now I walk in my own footsteps

Grab a cup of coffee

Hustle to the office 

Stumble to the door 

Forgot the keys at home

Forget the weather
Stay alive inside

Time traveling space cadets spin in orbit
Chasing big green monsters from Saturn
Sucked through a black hole into nothing

Fight the war in space all year
Then fly off into the sunset

Thick fog rolls on across the jungle
Piranhas circle around your face
They will never find a trace

01-11-17 Radical Radio

Tight squeeze of the snake

Earthquakes everywhere

Let them rule
In radiation

On the other side
We will stand tall
Hand in hand in hand

Last night after the ball dropped
The pictures told all the stories
In the master plan of the universe
Sparkling inside a cloud of glitter

Familiar faces shifting glass glances
Next stop at the drop of a hat flattered
Next step backwards away from here
It didn't turn out the way you planned

Still affected for the rest of all eternity
I will be here waiting for you tomorrow
When the world sends your first curveball
I will lend you a hand or a shoulder to cry on

spirit roaming free
always alive at MSG
deep in the catacombs
down in the tunnels
old rock shows echo
vibrations from yesterday
bouncing off the walls
screaming our anthem
electric on a classic evening
when they broke the record
the music played all night
our souls became energized
