11-30-12 Remastered Evolution

Detective
                Reflective
                                  Subjective
                                                    Objective
The structure of a smile is no less infectious
Than tapping into the power of positive energy
While blowing kisses into whispering breezes
At a beautiful future exploding on the horizon
                               All
                               of
                               the
                             world's
                            greatests
                            creations
                            originally
                              began
                                as
                                 a
                            DREAM




     

11-29-12 Starving For Substance

Empty open wound without any bleeding
Hunted by soulless animals down on the subway
Sadness burning deep in the heart where it hurts
No mercy at the bottom

Life wasn't supposed to turn out like this
Broken hearted and humbled in desperation
Suffering several atomic meltdowns today
Not sure about tomorrow



       

11-28-12 Tag You're It

Maybe we can fool around
In the neighborhood playground

Down in the circular sandbox
Where the kids all sound profound

Sharing newfound friendships
Playing long games of hide and seek

Pretending to be grown ups
Dreaming about cartoons and fairy tales

Without a care or trouble in mind
Finding ways to have fun in the sunshine

We wound up getting so excited
We completely lost track of the time




     

11-27-12 Immortal On The Internet

It's a sad day
When you check your Facebook page
Only to find out
That a friend has passed away

We are living
In an age where news travels in real time
We are dying
In an age where one's digital presence outlasts their physical body




       

11-26-12 Superstorm Haiku

Sky is full of leaves
Giant trees snapped like toothpicks
Branches on the ground



     

11-25-12 Seasons Of Silent Slaughter

Kill the sky wild while standing tall
Against the universe following a supernova

Swallowing goldfish for fun on Friday night
At ease laid back in front behind the crimson mask

Traveling beyond light speed around the neighborhood
Busting out fresh grooves inside the womb entombed

Flash forward before striking the bullseye smile
Gazing up at tall skyscrapers falling in love with the city

Learning write from wrong in my old Chevy Mallibu
On the road reading the book living out dreams

Listening to old ghosts at the White Horse Tavern
Whiskey inspiration spinning breathless tales of romance

Floating on the air splashed in between bar stools
Drowned out on Eleventh Street running into evil

Temporary waves brilliance crashing high
Over the top hanging out at the bottom of a blackout

Restore power to the underdogs living on the outskirts
Sleeping on the Number Seven Train after Cinco de Mayo

Clouded visions of crystal castles floating away
All the way to eternity passing through for a moment

Captured clean in real time winding down the clock
Alive at the Old Homestead eating fresh cuts of meat

Pigs on a farm plotting to save the world from bacon
Painting colorful creatures howling up at the moon

Spray painting graffiti on the side of a subway car
Suffering an addiction to video games on weekends

Relaxing on Sunday afternoon on the eve of destruction
Sunshine lighting our way into an uncertain future

11-24-12 Make Believe Ballroom

Hot dog razzle dazzle
Stardust celebration jubilee
Party time musical interlude
Bandstand champagne sparkle

Dancing swing step spin move
Magic melody rocksteady style
Smash hit electric pop show
Easy breakdown mash up twist

Spotlight gold dust fiesta flip
Break out moonwalk bust up
Special click snap firecracker
Quick slide kick start boogaloo





         

11-23-12 The Jersey Shore In Mourning

Beautiful flowers flowing
In ancient graveyard gardens
Swirling spirits of ever present souls
Growing stronger in modern times

A cold dark empty shell of what was
Once upon a time before the storms came
Smashing the boardwalk to splinters
Completely destroyed in a single day

Silent voices laughing and singing in the breeze
No more music no more games no amusement
Fun times come to an end in a festival of sorrow
We all gasped as the roller coaster crashed into the ocean



     

11-22-12 A Doorway To Dealy Plaza

If there was one day
where you could say
that the time travelers
finally got to us
then today was that day
when the history of humanity
was altered to change
the course of events
setting off a chain reaction
to manipulate the order
of time and space
in infinite ways




       

11-21-12 Heavy Metal Apocalypse

Horrific stupendous fabulous temptation
Marshmallow chocolate cookie crumble pie

Pollution territories off limits to living things
Mutant organism aquatic menagerie of monsters

Historical fabrications distorting visions of reality
Perceptions manipulated by elusive evil forces

Wooden sacrifice miracle foundation of high hopes
Harsh winter survival in freezing snowstorms

Mother's intuition instincts predicting the future
Nurturing love providing tender care for healing

Space aliens from another planet sending messages
Hidden knowledge passed along in secret circles

Days of black death as blood rains down from Heaven
Silent streets littered with skulls in piles of broken bones

Taco supreme salad surprise on the special menu
Red hot lava dancing disco star partying until sunrise

New states of awareness emerge from the ruins
Hope for the future rises from the ashes of a fallen world

11-20-12 Suspended Animation

Stuck inside a snapshot
trapped like a petrified fly
frozen in time for all eternity
deep into a momentary pause
stopped short in forward motion
then sealed off from the ages
untouched by global changes
unseen for many centuries
uncovered again by chance
then rediscovered in the future
and appreciated once again
through the eyes of tomorrow




       

11-19-12 Forest Of Thoughts

bright ideas
like big trees
often grow
in total solitude

flourishing slowly
cultivated by nature
standing through the years
while each season passes

until one day
the full potential is realized
and their beauty is appreciated
as the world takes notice

11-17-12 Darkness After Doomsday

Racing towards extinction
In Eden after biting the apple
Destruction on the eve of creation
Wiped out in a wave of annihilation

A major power outage hit before
The fires started burning out of control
There was mass hysteria in the streets
Shortly after all the food ran out

When the virus started spreading
The cities became dark and deserted 
Many survivors migrated north as refugees
Those were very sad days indeed




          

11-16-12 Home Sweet Hollywood

Big stars in your eyes
Homeless runaway children
Sleeping with junkies and prostitutes
Strung out on Hollywood Boulevard
Eating food from a large garbage can
In the alley behind a four star restaurant
Flash bulbs popping on the red carpet
Rubbing elbows with beautiful celebrities
Side by side for worse or for better
Luxury and poverty in bed together
Falling in love then falling out of style
Standing on line to get into trendy nightclubs
Filthy rich laid back wealthy wearing sunglasses
Cruising along the Sunset Strip on a warm evening
In a slick convertible sports car with the top down
Palm trees and sweet dreams swaying in the breeze
Killing time until the next big earthquake hits





     

11-15-12 Problems In Perspective

Sometimes small problems
Seem like big problems
And you go through life
Trying to figure it all out

Then you lose someone you love
And your perspective shifts
Suddenly those big problems
All seem so very small




       

11-14-12 After The Cover Up

destroy all knowledge
with a heat seeking missile
flash on the drone camera
video sabotage tactics
to erase world history
with a click and a switch
to pull the wool over
all of our eyes are blinded
without ever believing
what you can never see
or only what you were
allowed to see on the TV





         

11-13-12 Sincere Apologies

Sorry I got so angry
earlier this afternoon

It's been a rough
couple of days here

I've been dealing with a lot
of stress and anxiety lately

I must admit
I'm overwhelmed

But don't worry
I'll get through it

Thanks for being ther
for me today

I love you

11-12-12 Riot At The Amusement Park

Robots and raindrops
Stopping the machine
Cold sweats in between
The radical roller coasters

Soaring through the air
With your hair in fire
Starting to slow down
Before speeding up again

This ride is incredible
A free fall into oblivion
Catching you at the bottom
Before hitting the ground

Cotton candy soda pop
Super fun under a summer sun
Running wild through the park
Until you throw up on your shoes



     

11-11-12 One Year Later

Maybe it's time to move on
We tried it out but nothing happened
Seeds of inspiration did not sprout

No impact
No difference
No changes
No rewards

Looking out across the horizon
Standing out on the edge of a cliff
Dreaming about a new reality

When hard work doesn't pay off
It's tough to keep pushing forward
After all hope is lost in translation

I had a dream that I could use words
To create a new universe of language
And help people through poetry

But when those ideas all run out
It becomes clear that nobody cares
Is this how the dream ends
