Take a second to enjoy the moment.
Slow right down to find fulfilment.
Wait a while to see the change.
You could become spiritual and fly away,
Or remain lost, living life head on,
Accepting all comers, bring it on,
Show me what you got.
If you have anything at all.
Are you a wolf howling at the door?
Or are you Bambi? Is that all you want to be?
Write a book on how to love.
Snap a paint brush when your work is done.
You are not all you have to entertain,
Relax your brain and find a new way,
Float on waves over...

Hand Forged
Have you ever considered the elements it takes...
The ingredients inside to make someone great...
Is it something they do or something they create..?
Giving it some thought... some mental debate...
Perhaps it's through words so soft and so dear...
Or their callous ability... to create respect through fear...
People are strange when given some thought...
Seems most aspiring to something their not...
Is a king an almighty and powerful force..?
Destroyed by a nameless man...
Incapable of...

How many turbines

used to construct them?

Guys! The Left and the Right have merging goals now!
Left and Right want to bear arms.
Left and Right want to save the children.
Left and Right are mostly done fighting.
Left and Right want better media content.
Left and Right want more fairness and transparency.
Left and Right oppose the KKK and call them terrorists!
What else can the two parties do together?
Especially when they stop ignoring others?

Girl From The Hood
Some would say she’s feisty
I’d say misunderstood
Sometimes she can be scary
This girl raised in the hood
Some would say she’s common
She’d be fine with that
She stays lean and sometimes mean
With not an ounce of fat
For a girl raised in the projects
She cleans up mighty good
She likes to spend time with the boys
Because she thinks she should
We get together ‘bout once a week
She keeps me feeling fine
If you get her going she’ll give you blow
And make your rooster shine
I’d say misunderstood
Sometimes she can be scary
This girl raised in the hood
Some would say she’s common
She’d be fine with that
She stays lean and sometimes mean
With not an ounce of fat
For a girl raised in the projects
She cleans up mighty good
She likes to spend time with the boys
Because she thinks she should
We get together ‘bout once a week
She keeps me feeling fine
If you get her going she’ll give you blow
And make your rooster shine

Coffee Connects
Coffee is just
A mere coffee
Until you sip it
Then it's love
Remember
Who offered it

Until you sip it
Then it's love

Box Of A Cello
To the silence of it all, echoing memories
through the willows and trees
along the thistles of the Susquehanna
of death's moonlight in your eyes
whispering oboes
as you grew pale and I died with you
with chained melodies of love
tucked away in my portmanteau
of my gothic lunch and your tarnished flesh
with lusting palpitations in the twilight
star bright, eternal life
with a mahogany string-box of a cello
and amorous proclivities of my shining
rolling tides along the byways
whittling the night away
...

Best Fauntleroy
Particles of death lay beneath stone, of gristle and marrow. Chiseled with,
reference to. In my slippery state of being bones. Wishing I wasn't alone.
Two percent bleach, with a bottle of Red. Butterflies between my teeth
with a condiment of being Dead. Dressed in my best Fauntleroy, with the
devil in my phone. Connecting me to my widow, beneath another stone.

Touch Me
Touch Me
Touch me with your hands, deep in my soul
Move me with your body, the heavens your goal.
My heart feels so shattered, my self-esteem not.
The feeling of being desired, craved, wanted been shot.
Down from that cloud, I rode so high.
The joy of his love, I made up, I lied.
It never was there, though I felt it so true
Change it, correct it, all comes to you.
Touch me with your hands, deep in my soul
Move me with your body, the heavens your goal.
Heal me from this misery, my pain so distraught
Teach...

Halloween is Coming!
Tonight I'll go a hunting
Tonight I'll wear all black
Tonight I'll come get you
And throw you in my sack
Tonight I'll get real freaky
Tonight I'll make you howl
Tonight I'll tricker treat you
Till you scream HOLY COW!
This She devil is very hungry
I'll use my serpent's tongue
And lick your nice hard candy
Till it grows soft and numb
I'll cackle like a sexy witch
And ride you like my broom
Use you like my zombie slave
Tied up in my pleasure tomb
Suck me like a starved vamp
Mount me...
Tonight I'll wear all black
Tonight I'll come get you
And throw you in my sack
Tonight I'll get real freaky
Tonight I'll make you howl
Tonight I'll tricker treat you
Till you scream HOLY COW!
This She devil is very hungry
I'll use my serpent's tongue
And lick your nice hard candy
Till it grows soft and numb
I'll cackle like a sexy witch
And ride you like my broom
Use you like my zombie slave
Tied up in my pleasure tomb
Suck me like a starved vamp
