03-12-14 Stormy Breezes

The storm is roaring outside
It's so nice to be mellow inside
Curled up under the blanket
Falling asleep next to the radiator

Cold air blowing hard against the house
Howling winds swirl through tree branches
Nature's fury destroying the landscape
It's better to be safe and warm inside a shelter





   

03-11-14 Put It In The Bag

Sinister electrical impulses
Flashing signals on the sly
Superfly jive high five strike
Working at the energy factory

Step up to the stoop
And put it in the bag
Speak your peace
But don't tell lies

Cowboys fighting giant robots
In outer space at home on the range
Silent wisdom whispered out loud
In secret languages spoken softly





   

03-10-14 Fighting The Mastadons

You might have heard it said
That it's hard to get out of bed
To live a life worth loving instead
When you've got ideas in your head

There's no real truth to the rumors
But the struggle never ends again
Climbing up to the mountain top
Flying out into the vast wilderness

Keep expressing your self creatively
Don't let frustrations kill your ambition
Make sure to stay inspired all the time
And don't be afraid to make a mess




   

03-09-14 Against Your Own Fear

Don't lose hope
when it's all
you've got to
hold on to

Take a deep breath
Take a leap of faith



   

03-08-14 New York City Frosted

New York City winter storm
frozen slip slide sidewalks
subway trains delayed again
puddles of slush on the corner

The Queensboro Bridge lights
twinkling snowflakes sparkle
swirling wind gusts blow hard
off the banks of the East River

Yellow taxi cabs rolling slowly
uptown downtown going home
daily hustle taking it easy instead
peaceful calm in the metropolis

A quiet winter chill in Central Park
crisp cold magic majesty on Broadway
fresh blankets of white cover the street
blind in the gentle hush of blizzard bliss






   

03-07-14 Roast Beef Haiku

Hot roast beef sandwich
Dripping with barbecue sauce
Living the good life




   

03-06-14 Laid Out On The Line

We have seen
The beauty of
The universe

We have felt
Powerful forces
Of nature

We have learned
From the wisdom
Of ancient elders

We have loved
With our hearts
Outside the lines





   

03-05-14 Notes From Nowhere

Words that nobody ever hears
Ring out into silence echoing
Endlessly through nothingness

Outside unwashed in the wilderness
Dirty alone exposed to the elements
Eating breathing sleeping existing

Underwater survival techniques
Catching fish in the morning for lunch
Swimming away into the sunset

   


   

03-04-14 Intergalactic Roots

Look to the stars
Way up in the sky
For the origins of life
And the key to our future




   

03-03-14 The Secret Is Out

In another time zone
The wind chills are below zero
Shut down surrounded by snow
The radioactive fallout remains

It's not clear where
The gun shots came from
Or who they were intended for
But there is more to the story

Cold cases under investigation
The cover up is in full effect
Night hawks waiting in shadows
A curtain of lies hangs in place

It was all a big set up
From the beginning of the operation
The outcome was predetermined
The course of history was altered





   

03-02-14 The Building Blocks Of Infinity

Big moments happen
When you are not
Paying attention
But when those moments
Do happen to arise
It's necessary to
Recognize
The time
To be alive
Wholly
Completely
Inside that moment
As if you were willing
To make it last
Forever




   

03-01-14 Skullduggery Ahead

Tin can treasure chest
Dug up from the underground
Ten million dollars found





     

02-28-14 Knowing The Good News

We wanted so badly
To tell you the good news
But you left before we knew
And now you'll never know

You'd be so proud
To know the good news
But to tell you the truth
We wish you already knew



   

02-27-14 The Chill That Can Kill

everybody in town
is seeking shelter
from subzero temperatures

cold crystal frost
winter mint in waves
shivering to the bone

dangerous deep freeze
life or death avalanche
survival in ice and snow




     

02-26-14 Vampire Love Seduction

You might be sitting
on the train next to a person
who's in really great shape
and you think they're going to live forever
but then they don't live that long

You might be sitting
on the train next to a person
who's in really bad shape
and you think they might not live long
but then they wind up living forever



     

02-25-14 Make A Wish On A Whim

Easy street vibe flavor
Time and again the tide turns
Rude attitude in the mood
Several times a day from here

Click step into quicksand
Set up for failure falling apart
Into the mouth of a Venus flytrap
Down the road into the universe





   

02-24-14 Catch The Wind

you are always so excited
when we walk outside
and the sun is shining
or the snow is falling

we can fly to the moon
we can touch the stars
we can catch the wind
we can ride the train

safe at home
unbutton our coats
kick off our shoes
relax in the afternoon



     

02-23-14 The Main Event

Thick haze of cigar smoke
Midnight darkness fills the room
Hot spotlight beams sparkling
The thrill of the crowd roaring
Popcorn flying through the air
Cat calls screaming out shouting loud
Premier action late at night undercover
Step right up and see the main attraction




   

02-22-14 Sparks In The Dark

Those
                IDEAS

come naturally

a light is on upstairs in the attic

                              Ghosts

sending secret messages
                                        from beyond the grave
to save your life





     

02-21-14 Revolution On Television

We never wanted to start a war
Before they started killing children
Now we are forced to destroy
As we hide from hot sniper fire
Dodging bullets between borders
Bodies lying out in the streets
Blood shed for the voice of justice
In the name of freedom we fight
