Leave your fear at home
Give your heart to the game

09-07-18 Haunted Sleepover Party

Couldn't sleep last night

Ghosts are lurking everywhere
Or maybe it's evil demons

I love those meatballs

So much garlic

Crispy on the outside

One night
a meatball
rolled off
my plate

it under
the table
because
it smelled
so nice

Then I
forgot
about it
and when
I found it
three weeks
later
I didn't know
what it was

08-30-18 Global Warming Warriors

Nothing left to do but die

Waiting patiently to steal your lunch

Praying to the universe for peace

Faded blue purple into orange
Last night's turn into tomorrow
Today is going to be so much fun

Sparks spare time in a space station
Fried chicken feast after the famine
Big hugs go out to you and your family

A patchwork of faces
Cool colors fancy clothes

Speaking out standing up pushing forward
With proof through the night
That our flag is still there

08-17-18 Summer's Last Sunset

out of place
and out of time
out of sorts

the music
in the streets
doesn't fit

greatness
doesn't count
for anything

dark loneliness
faded sunshine
lost in silence

08-16-18 Road Trip Traps

The long road never ends
Golden horizons fade away
Cold nights out in the country
No dinner for a million miles
Hope the car don't run out of gas
Raindrops start splashing down
Wish you were home sleeping

08-15-18 Hollywood Zombies

In your HOME

Banged up but still around

So try again next year

Sandwich into the monster's mouth

Waiting for the heavy rain to pass
And we discovered our love

Let's hop on the subway and go
Then carelessly stroll around town

07-14-18 Capturing A Spark

With light reflections refracted
By our own interpretations of sight
Until our thoughts change the channel

Thunderball vacation wreck
Twisted heart strings tangled
Tea leaves tell the truth tomorrow
So long to regenerate new limbs

In limbo timber falls in solitude

Time travelers figured it all out loud
Vampires know the best way to rest
Bloodsuckers so good to the last drop

Make it there
Please know
In your heart
That I tried my best
To get to you and
You were always
My true love

We go back to the store
To buy more new things

Away for a while
Getting my heart together
Wondering and wandering
To go back home again

07-02-18 Delusions Of Grandeur

Monster gods don't realize

Try to convince you they're above it all
You know that down deep in their hearts
They're as miserable as you are

Ice cream on the playground
Sprinklers spraying water
Childhood laughter in the air

06-29-18 Battle For Our Soul

Your heart is full of hate
But there is love in my heart

But our lights shine so bright

You confuse kindness with weakness
But our strength will rise to defeat you

06-28-18 Revisionist History

Going back in time
To change mistakes we made
To right the wrongs against us
While setting into motion
A million alternate realities

Now that the years have passed
And many scenarios have played out
It's plain to see the writing on the wall
Civilization shall fall no matter what
And now we can never go home again

06-27-18 Loneliness Lost In Nothingness

Joyful radiance weeps
for the weekend crew

joining forces violently

Part of the silent majority

losing ground in the election
when freedom is still frozen

Staying in bed
Half awake
Barely dreaming

Liquid sand castle smiles
Return of the century revenge

Absurd thoughts transform into words
Confirmed questions for cool kids
Flying away into the setting sun

06-23-18 People In Your Neighborhood

Look all around
And what do you see
Many faces
That look like you and me

There's a mailman over there
And a construction worker
There is a politician
There is a prostitute

If you look over there
You'll see a time traveler
He's looking at his watch
To see what time it is

Those people on the corner
Are extraterrestrial shape shifters
And they've been here all along
Without you ever noticing

That guy sitting on the steps
Is an ancient vampire zombie
Who is over a thousand years old
And he wants to drink your blood

Robots and androids alive and well
There characteristics are hard to tell
Look all around and what do you see
Many faces that look like you and me

06-22-18 Space Babies

Swirling winds of daydreams
Believing in the best of times
Sideways winding down canyons

Chalk marks on the blackboard
New exciting horizons in horror
Floating out into the atmosphere
Frosted crystal cream ice machine

Magic laser beams streaming images
Far beyond the knowledge of humanity
Spreading good ideas like wildfires
Across the planet from our birthplace

06-21-18 Great Again

Words burning holes in us
Trading insults for intimacy
Going to war in public places
Peacekeepers on the front lines

To see your friends and family
Fighting each other over politics
Has a damaging effect on your heart
And it causes a deep hurtful pain

Like a hurricane of anger
Shift your trajectory towards peace
Spread positivity with good energy
Shine your light and feel great again

There's a price to pay for power

Barefoot on the boardwalk

In the shadow of the Cyclone

Before the afternoon rains came down 

Running along the sweet sandy beaches 

I'll never swim in those waters again 

06-16-18 Lunchtime In Madison Square Park

Lovers strolling casually
Under ancient giant trees
With a shady spot to relax
On the green green grass

Forever in our family photos

People stumble in a hazy daze
Everybody got cooked today

06-13-18 Ripped Out Of A Notebook

Creepers down in the basement

Behind your secret philosophy writings
With an open mind you can read it all
Then write your thoughts down on purpose

Triggering instant memories
To bring us back home

The secrets of sadness
Silent wars within walls

Family feelings hurt at dinner
Steel cage match on Saturday
Treasure buried underground
Precious beauty in your heart

Into something
Positive

The mind can live a thousand dreams
We have unlimited lifetimes to explore

Daylight so dim
You can barely see
Patterns on the wall
Until shadows grow
To swallow us whole
In complete darkness

Black magic warriors
On a mystical battlefield
Fighting the ultimate battle
Between good and evil

Shadows fade into sunshine
On the streets or inside your heart
The war rages on forevermore

You brought the devil to my door
No hardened armies can save us
Now we must protect our souls
Before the day of death dawns

Me to be

The sun exists
Behind the clouds
You may may not see it
But it is there

06-03-18 Not Simply Existing

Taking up space on the street
Another mouth to feed again
Breathing valuable fresh air
Drinking up all the clean water
Taking it all without giving back

Say something from your heart
Enjoying the good life on Earth
Live to tell the tale another day
Creating your own masterpiece
Leave your mark before you go

06-02-18 Bee Stings

The sting was not sweet
But the honey was honest
And it's tough to feel good
When you do the wrong thing

The most important decisions
Are often the most difficult ones
The hardest steps to take forward
Will move you in the right direction

06-01-18 Older Beholder

Forgotten flowers
On the road to ruin
Growing golden older
And colder in color

Stop to smile
Appreciate this beauty
Walking down the road
Growing old and golden
