us now
when you see the lightning strikes in the cloudy sky
and thunder you hear in the background is coming closer
the pain that you feel as your heart is breaking
underneath the rain that begins to come down on you
just remember all the good time we had
the love that we shared, the pain you put me through,
when you realized I was the one for you
I hope you hurt as much as you hurt me
I can't wait for you to love me like I love you
I'm sorry you messed up our perfect life we had together
now I'm gone and you will miss me and
when the rain...
and thunder you hear in the background is coming closer
the pain that you feel as your heart is breaking
underneath the rain that begins to come down on you
just remember all the good time we had
the love that we shared, the pain you put me through,
when you realized I was the one for you
I hope you hurt as much as you hurt me
I can't wait for you to love me like I love you
I'm sorry you messed up our perfect life we had together
now I'm gone and you will miss me and
when the rain...

Your Antidote
Quiet is the night
The Queen is alive
With her Quarrelsome fight
She is the quintessential warrior
The feathers of the Quail
Rest on the rods within her quiver
Only the qualified will prevail
Beneath her inviting quilt
It’s all in an ancient quote
Only the slow hands of the quartz
Will reveal her poison is your antidote
The Queen is alive
With her Quarrelsome fight
She is the quintessential warrior
The feathers of the Quail
Rest on the rods within her quiver
Only the qualified will prevail
Beneath her inviting quilt
It’s all in an ancient quote

Will reveal her poison is your antidote

Remember the Snow Before it Melts
remember the snow before it melts
for I am a flower
that’s here for the spring
then gone with the gust
of an autumn breeze
remember that feeling
of losing a memory
to the void of the past
that we’re good at forgetting
so hold onto me
for the time I am living
before the present finds you
and there’s no more February
snow only lasts
for the time it is given
that’s why it’s a gift
not all can receive it
so hold onto me
before I am done
can you see the snow melting?
can you feel...

and some days will kill you far worse
some days you will awake to the cold darkness.
on those days you will not clean your shotgun;
even though you really want to so bad.
but you will laugh.
through all the hell
you'll laugh in the dark,
on chilly mornings by the bus stop;
waiting to face a merciless death.
and when the chaos that follows
does not leave, even while one
wonders of the mercy of death,
even as the broken world gathers at your tired feet;
you will have to wake up tomorrow and
do it all over again.
and some days will be better than others.
and...

Leading the Straight Life
This was a bad idea
Soon I'll have a thermos full of booze
Nipping on the bus
Talking to myself
Getting arrested for crimes against poetry
Will you bail me out ?

as I sit
in my four cornered room"
deep within my mind,
I'm marooned
only to soon see
everything around
is me to a certain degree if I observe and explore the energy evolving eternally through the inner me and you
which is one in the same,
same souls playing different games
but the controls don't change
and the system stays the same
while we run free range still feeling enslaved to the day and those who say we gotta follow their ways or
pay the price for stepping out of line on
"their" time which ironically is ALL TIME, ...

The Very Fabric Of Us No More
My belief
In love
Was weaved
Beautifully into my heart
It never occurred to me
It could be broken
That the feeling of emptiness
Could be more painful
Than anything
I had experienced before
That each breath
Would be harder to take
We were lovers
Bonded by our souls
It felt a forever thing
But like the splitting of the atom
Everything we were
Blew apart
A chain reaction
That wouldn’t stop
Till the The very fabric of us
Was no more
This lonely beat ...
