01-20-15 How To Survive In The New Culture

Defend yourself against the elements
Hard shell like an ancient sea turtle
Put a happy smile on your game face
Don't ever let them see you cry

Less medicine for longing alone forever
Destroy your success then stay in hiding
Drown down in deep depression slowly
Find the light in your heart to live again




   

01-19-15 Sleeping With Serpents

It's a slippery position
Sleeping with snakes
Go to bed every night
Expecting to get bit

When the venom gets you down
You never get back up again





   

01-18-15 Dawn At The Barn

Early mornings
Down on the farm
Watching the sunrise

Crisp frost
Melts into dewdrops
Glistening in the light

Cool fresh air
Quiet stillness of silence
Waking up





   

01-17-15 Invisible Chills

Unpack the wilderness windows
Flash back to the point of origin
Double cross passion affection
Effective before midnight never
Scared of the action in reverse
Incontrovertible truths disappear
Favorite flavors run in bold colors
Never mess around with space aliens
Once that door opens it cannot be closed





     

01-16-15 Going Out To The Show

Theatricality of the living stage
A major attraction all over the world
Prime time moments in the spotlight
Put on a show for the people tonight

Stunning fireworks display in the sky
Spotlights shining through a smokescreen
Multicolored visuals of strange patterns
Emerging into the future with excitement





   

01-15-15 So Good To Be Back Home

That old familiar smell
Makes me feel like a child
Safe and warm at home
Where nothing ever changes
And everything stays the same

That old familiar place
Welcomes me with open arms
From sweet innocent days
When we lived in fear of nothing
And everything was magical





   

01-14-15 Something To Live For

It's hard to survive

when you don't have

something to live for

It's harder to stay alive

when the thing you live for

suddenly flies away

      

01-13-15 Opulence

Best of the best
Luxury wealth and riches
All you've ever wanted
And much much more

Too much of everything
All of the time every time
Fame fortune fascination
Beauty in it's highest form

Drunk on the power of power
High on illusions of grandeur
An endless supply of extravagence
Splashing in pools of golden bliss

Close your eyes and make a wish
For all you've ever dreamed of
Right away at your fingertips
Money has no meaning

But it's only on the surface
These spoils are external
What matters is the love inside your heart
That's all that's left when the cash runs out





       

01-12-15 My Most Wonderful Creation

My little boy
is so much like me
in every possible way
more and more each day

I wish for you
my beautiful son
a lifetime of joy
and good fortune

And when I'm gone
I'd want you to know
you're the best thing
that's ever happened to me





     

01-11-15 Tropical Vortex

find me

out

under the sun

playing in the sand

splashing in the water

soaking it all up

inside a warm breeze

sipping a pina colada

relaxed

01-10-15 Crunchtastic Flavor Explision

Good cookies and milk
Cold ice cream candy treats
Chocolate dreams in color
Marshmellow paradise

Chewy gooey crunchies
Sloppy sappy sticky sweet
Hot fantastic taste revolution
The beauty of delicious snack treats




   

01-09-15 Nasty Around The Friendly Neighborhood

Warm your hands
On the old stove
Come in from the cold
Sick like a dog

It's a frozen world
Between hearts and minds
True love broken by reality
Extinguished the passion

Crash boom bash
Zoom down below the border
Downtown pizza pie party
Spice on a night out

Make the old flavors
Turn sour around the edges
Scratching away at the walls
Woke us up at night

Too much blue light
Back on the list of priorities
Push the clean flame on fire
Sweet nothings smell nice

Graffiti art street show
On old abandoned subway cars
Written in colorful shades of blood
Reflecting the heart of the streets






   

01-08-15 I Will Not Be Silenced

You will never take away my voice
My words will ring out loud

Truth
Lies
Fact
Opinion

When the voice of the people
Is threatened by oppression
We rise up strong and stand
For the right to speak our peace




   

01-07-15 Fox Trap Blues

Fox in a hole
Through a hollow log

Caught in a trap
Snapped on it's leg

Licking it's wounds
Crying at the moon




 

01-06-15 Peace Inside Apocalypse

Time for quiet rest
Peaceful release
A short pause
For tranquility




   

01-05-15 Salt Water Taffy Haiku Number Two

Soft chewy delight
Always gets stuck in my teeth
Sweet salty goodness




 

01-04-15 In The Heart Of A Storm

Change the design of alignment
Find a different point of view
Birds in motion over the water
A sad blue sky opens up and cries




 

01-03-15 Communicating With The Universe

catch fire in the moment
flashing light upon pulse
odd but not out of the ordinary
hung out to dry on the brink
eyes blank out the red lights
blinking off and on forever
shot down after the first call
double talk from another time zone
friends in the afterlife flying home
golden pearls of wisdom spoken softly
over strange frequency sound waves
destroying your mind with new ideas





 

01-02-15 Smoke Signals Into Space

Replace all moving parts
Start spreading the news
Flipped around the street
Dancing flames in breezes

Red hot fire explosions burst
Pop out on the scene for a song
Rolling on the subway slowly
Sometimes it inspires you

To do great things on a grand scale
For the good of all humanity at once
Singing out to the wild moonlit night
Bringing peace and love to the universe





   

01-01-15 The Keys To A Mighty Kingdom

Ancient artifacts
Supernatural spirits
Preserved secretly
Frozen in time
Hidden from light
Protected from age
To be reborn once
For another century
Alive again
