12-31-14 The Ghosts Of Midnight Gods

Monster jams prevail
Lightning strike cracks
Sweet dreams at midnight
Devils dance in moonlight

Explosion of creativity
Bubbling under the surface
Flow grows cold as you get old
So you reach down deep inside

Stardust warriors swim
Through fantastic explorations
Glitter sparkles after darkness
Freak out in a funked up frenzy

Tap into the pain of joy
Write from the heart for tomorrow
These words came to mind first
Looking back at this last year

Strong feelings of jubilation
A new era has begun to take form
Bright expectations on the horizon
Looking forward to the next chapter

12-30-14 Springfield Haiku

Sitting on the couch
Eating a frosted donut
Watching The Simpsons



   

12-29-14 Confusing Allusions And Legendary Smells

Fighting the facts
Simple armies battle
Sandwich bread balls
Butter sauce on seafood

Locked in a prison
Running out of flames
On vacation in outer space
Take no prisoners by the way

Fidget twitch repeat
Last stop before destruction
Where did we ever go so wrong
Forgotten to blow away with the wind

Those days were far from perfect
We used to sit and talk for hours
Our favorite restaurant is gone now
Our bones are growing older with age

12-28-14 Press Play

Rewind back to a simpler time
Fast forward to your future destiny
Pause to reflect upon the journey
Record your thoughts and feelings





   

12-27-14 Heavyweight Title Fight Tonight

Fuel speed ahead
Whole heart to it
Huge business move
Old time attitude
Special spark comet
First foot forward
March two three
Fourth degree
Junk food juice






 

12-26-14 Queens Soundtrack

Sitting next to an open window
Thoughts floating like bubbles
Cool fresh air rushes through
Emotional feelings in the moment

Jet engines roar up overhead
Landing down at LaGuardia
In the other direction they rise
Taking off from the strip at JFK

Sounds of the neighborhood sing
Cars drive around looking for a spot
Families walk down the street together
Birds flying into the western skies




   

12-25-14 Stuff Your Stockings

One more bottle of wine
On a warm winter's night
Together for a great meal
Exchange some nice gifts

Cartoons in the afternoon
Seasonal magic spirit flowing
Sensational music playing
Fall asleep watching TV





   

12-24-14 Kettle Corn Crackling Over A Flame

Foggy night out there
But not so very dreary
I can still look around
See the light shining on

Snowflakes in sunshine
When you wish upon a star
Flash forward to the future
Looking back at yesterday

Reflect upon the meaning
Behind all this dreaming
Thankful for what we have
Happy to be alive





   

12-23-14 Final Shot At The Buzzer

water is the source
fire is the key

human origins explored
digging down deep
prophecies uncovered
discovered underground

pioneers from the stars
populated the planet




 

12-22-14 Chelsea Hotel #222

Magic left undiscovered
Is absolutely nothing

I always wanted to be
An artist to flow creativity
Let the old energies grow
To live forever in these walls
Within the forgotten framework
Outside the broken blank stares
Swallowed up in dark corners
Of the fractured landscape
Smashed behind glass

We'll always be alive
Depending upon
Your definition
Of life





 

12-21-14 Bamboozled In The Afternoon

Seeing is believing
In the confidence game
Faster than the blink
Of an untrained eye

Smart mark saavy
Hip to the work
When the fix is in
Predetermined outcome

Smooth character
With a criminal mind
Back to work on the job
Overtime on the holidays





   

12-20-14 Celebrating The Winter Festival

Perfect wish list item
Moving at half speed
Fast action magic trick
Hands are quicker than eyes
Realize the animal reaction
Triple chocolate masterpiece
Holiday party feast for joy
Bringing families together
I believe in miracles today
Spreading the good cheer
Here we go again





 

12-19-14 Heart Of An Atomic Warrior

Colored lights blinking
Across the great universe
Wild berry bubble gum
Freedom of speech survives

Free identity protection service
Crash all the parties in town
It's cold out there where it's frozen
Still no indication that we will win

Stand up to the power of persuasion
Kick me out of your fancy limousine
Turn on the stars so very bright tonight
Get ready to start the next phase





   

12-18-14 A Whiz Bang Good Time

Fire up the old crackerjack
Tip top shape inflated grapes
Stop telling the truth in groups
Happiness growing glowing old

Dance to the beat of the city streets
Tell your story through art alone
Break free from traditional standards
Swimming in the sky seeing everything

Disco flash pop
Under the hot sun
On barefoot grass
Feeling like a kid





   

12-17-14 Street Art Salvation

Shooting gold bullets
Telling the good news
Sold your souls today
I saw it on a TV show

Champagne spill on the floor
Spray painted underground
Fast track party crowd burning
Out loud in the middle of a crowd

Quiet wrap up for the year
Missing out on all the fun
Spelled wrong on the walls
At home in an art studio





   

12-16-14 Modern War Stories

Fire on the edge of town
So many clowns on the subway
Bad habits follow us around
Quiet darkness waits patiently

Machine gun power runs out
Bomb squad politics save the day
Gold standard set the bar very high
The taste of evil blowing kisses





     

12-15-14 Never Sleeps

Wonders of the ages
Combined with
The fruits of our labor
For all to see

Exciting time to be alive
In New York City
Where bright lights shine
In the evening

Electric flashes of energy
Laughter in the streets
Laying down some beats
Inspiration all around you




   

12-14-14 Cocktail Party Conversation

Destruction of the art form
Sunny days are left behind
Beautiful views from the top
Sharp tongued comments spoken
Global politics out on the table
Bullied every day relentlessly
Security breach on a high level
Shopping like desperate animals
Flashing credit cards at the store

12-13-14 Feeling The Holiday Pain

Hard to feel good sometimes
Easy to let it all break your heart

Hard to go through life feeling this way
Easy to go to the bar and drink it all away

Hard to keep wanting to work so hard
Easy to want to run away from everything

Hard to wake up in the morning hurting
Easy to stay in bed all day watching TV

Hard to watch everyone else being so happy
Easy to get sad and break down about it

Hard to look on the bright side
Easy to get sucked into the darkness





   

12-12-14 Frozen Thoughts

This world is a crazy universe of confusion
Full of amazing wonders and toxic waste
Find the love in your heart and follow it
Go towards the light and fly into space
