10-20-13 Whispering Waves

Sad colors
Washed out
Then fade away

Look up
In the sky
To find the sun

A quiet walk
Through the
Neighborhood

Take a chance
Lose it all
Then come again

Raindrops fall
In a silent breeze
Through the mist





       

10-19-13 Wild Children Of The Night

Washed in chocolate sauce
Inclined to dine outside the lines
Warm glass of dark red wine
Drenched in blood like vampires

The cost of living dangerously
Spent wisely on the company dime
Wired from staying out late every night
Ruthless in the race to survive life

Cold poison running through blue veins
Sharper than the blade of a steak knife
Immortal but cursed to roam the darkness
Misunderstood yet delightfully evil




     

10-18-13 Click Bait

Replenish your supply
Hide inside your mind
Support the local economy
Resist supreme commandments
Kiss your sweetheart on the lips
Turn on the transistor radio
Hang out on the boardwalk
Seek shelter from the storm
Breathe in the fresh air
Fall asleep watching TV

10-17-13 Conspiracy Of Poetry

Elusive scoundrels
Commiserating quietly
In the back of a saloon

Stardust warriors
Sweep off the rooftops
Violently dancing

Crack pipe car crash
Still kills me to the bone
Haunting my memories

Refreshing watermelon
Sunshine salad at the park
Cool cucumber crunch

Stock prices crash hard
So many people are out of work
Jumping out of windows

Cartoon candy sweet
Rocket ships and laserbeams
Fantastic voyages through time




         

10-16-13 Banksy In My Neighborhood

Honest pocket swordfish knowledge
Strength in wisdom power of energy
Develop strange routines at school
Destruction of unbroken daydreams

Rabbits living on the streets in Chinatown
Playing frisbee in the middle of traffic
Terrific solutions to ancient mysteries
Get down to the groove of magic music

That's when it all started to come to an end
Forward thinking march to the beat of tomorrow
Future stars growing out of suburban communities
Meaningless scientific experiments gone wild

Forbidden fruit on the menu for the wedding
Extra fun trouble in mind for a famous fire
Hidden meanings strategically positioned
Unlocking the secret engine of civilization

There is a
spiritual

out
the
best
in
everyone







       

10-14-13 Locked Inside A Library

White paper turned yellow from age
Words flow in waves all over the page
Inspiration in the atmosphere around us
Ink pen furiously scribbling down notes

Secrets of philosophy encoded in poetry
Dangerous ideas hidden inside messages
Electricity crackles as sparks fly in the air
Revolution is brewing in the underworld

Writing transcriptions of our modern life
Fabricating sketches of daily existence
Snapshots of a specific moment in time
Before the dark storm descended upon us





         

10-13-13 Pictures Of Perfect Paradise

Sweet talk from above
Family love on Sunday
The moment of nature
Hot coffee in the morning




       

10-12-13 Kiss Of The Cobra

sudden strike
razor sharp fangs
puncture your skin
spitting hot venom
the immortal bite
powerful magic
   

10-11-13 Golden Shades Of Autumn

The leaves have begun changing colors
There is a cool chill in the fresh air
Cinnamon hot apple cider steaming up
Thrilling October baseball games at night

Halloween decorations hung all over town
It's getting dark much earlier these days
Fireplace chimney smoke blows in the breeze
Candles flicker in windows with a warm glow





             

10-10-13 Fireball Horseradish

Retrospective
Reflective
Reactive
Infective

I can eat
pumpernickel
pickles and
pretzel sticks

Staying up late
watching old
black and white
monster movies

I would
never vote
you off
the island




     

10-09-13 Chelsea Hotel #413

A blank check
for high madness
running rampant
inside a dark maze

Phantoms lurking
between dimensions
deep within shadows
burning down every room

Escape into consciousness
dripping from old clanky pipes
dropping down to another level
beyond the tangible world

The telephone rings
in the middle of the night
but there is no one speaking
on the other side



         

10-08-13 Slaves To Network Television

You all can't capture the freedom
Like we did once upon a time
Happily never after hours over
Ready to get started again now
In denial that any of this is good

Return to a life that used to exist
Don't forget to tip your bartender
Hit the skids every night after work
Crash into oblivion then do it all again
Stand up for the right things

Proud of what we all accomplished here
Together when we needed it the most
Checking out the latest train wrecks
Taking a dive off the penthouse balcony
Singing swan songs before you hit the ground





           

10-07-13 Evolutionary Breakdown

global broadband network
customizable technology solutions
made exclusively by humans
before the robot revolution

computer intelligence program
surpassing energy requirements
turning on the power unplugged
those wires are alive all over

war machine destroying the balance of life
with maximum impact to the environment
irreversible damage to this entire world
an uninhabitable planet floats quietly in space






       

10-06-13 Secret Images Enhanced

Cotton candy clouds
inside your mind's eye
launched into orbit
astronauts from Mars
sending smoke signals
in a firestorm transition
between claps of thunder
sweeping across the land
surfing heavy game changes
inside a magic genie's lamp
building roads to a bright future
hunkering down in a dark cave
surviving a dangerous blizzard
surrounded by winter warfare
frozen in place without food
learning to live alone on the run
flying out to runaway from truth





     

10-05-13 Crisis Aftermath Prophecy

When the oceans rise
above the swirling tides
blue skies turn bloody red
the planet's secrets exposed
the hour of doom has passed
bricks crumble as fires burn
there is nobody left to notice




     

10-04-13 Wizard Haiku

Carnival magic
Slight of hand to seal your fate
Quicker than the eye



     

10-03-13 Party Down Under The High Line

Harsh spotlight shines in your eyes
Deep in the heart of the West Village
Crispy pops of gunfire filling the air
Swarms of people slipping into oblivion

Hot Friday nights in the cobblestone streets
Whispers of destiny on ice gliding up high
Seduction of innocence after the sun goes down
People do bad things when they hang out with me





     

10-02-13 Moonlight Daydream

Transmissions from the Mothership
Hot lights flashing musical colors
Radio frequencies switch to fuzz
Hip joint ego tripping freak out funk

Radioactive vegetable mutations grow
Mushroom adventures in the coliseum
Fast action fluorescent freedom shining
Words dancing out loud to the universe



   

10-01-13 When Horror Stalks Your Soul

bizarre evil in her eyes
twisted axe kept under the bed
loud voices urging madness
painful feelings of sadness
dark spirits of death creeping
physical boundaries crossed
screams echo in the night
there has been another tragedy
