ALARM
Sweet and dreamy ringing of the xylophone
Fills the empty silence with its resounding tone.
Bouncing off the dark room walls,
Charms the night fall
As I sleepwalk by day and stand on paved bricks
Blinded by the folds of the midnight mix.
Never knowing where I’m going or where I’m headed
Oh, my! I know I’m starting to regret it!
But, the hypnotizing soft-tone strikes of the xylophone
Gently creating its soft melodic tone
Seductively entices me to sleepwalk some more
With my eyes wide shut but with feet on floor.
Clock...
Fills the empty silence with its resounding tone.
Bouncing off the dark room walls,
Charms the night fall
As I sleepwalk by day and stand on paved bricks
Blinded by the folds of the midnight mix.
Never knowing where I’m going or where I’m headed
Oh, my! I know I’m starting to regret it!
But, the hypnotizing soft-tone strikes of the xylophone
Gently creating its soft melodic tone
Seductively entices me to sleepwalk some more
With my eyes wide shut but with feet on floor.

Clown Car Aquarium
A clown car like an aquarium, its paint
A slop of false gold. Inside, beta fish swim
In the swill and piss it holds. Slime-eels glide,
Cold and sanctimonious, droll as Stepford wives—
Bottle blond to the tits. Urchins cling, and spit,
And barnacles breed with barnacle wit. Lampreys
Thread in and out of shadows; oyster toads,
With flattened heads and bulging eyes,
Pump their jowls with lies. Bottom feeders
Suck at the floor, more and more; and above them all,
A bloated starfish spews agitprop galore, nonstop,
Claiming the...

Landscape with Fall of Democracy
If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
- Abraham Lincoln
SHAMERICA YOU CHARLATAN, YOU RUBE,
When it comes time to write
Your fall, let it be said
You leapt giddily off the edge, and took bodily the rest,
For reasons lost to sense,
Like lemmings trailing blindly
The worst among us all.

Humanity, whatever once you were...
Humanity, whatever once you were,
Has gone the wayside by.
Share ye a coffee, share ye a tea,
Share ye a sigh and wonder why.
Tears will cry until they dry. Oh life,
However once you tried,
To make of men their better selves,
Has been, by stubborn choice, denied.
Let us now play it as it lies- humanity,
Whatever once you were, is for the birds.
To live now is to be absurd. So be absurd.

Share ye a coffee, share ye a tea,

At Death's Door
Pinky toes, uncut
dipping under, the other side of life
Nothing
I felt nothing, for you
neither for them, my blood
The kindle outwicked
a will, my own
Nothing
I see nothing, a memory
visuals of faces, nor places
Time slowed down
almost stopped, counting backwards
Nothing
I heared nothing, a silence
no voices, calling after my name
And I, for no one
whispered
remembered
cared
Love, hope and faith
were just letters unspelled
I seek no...

Footprints Through Napo
Littered ideas
Escaped thoughts
A prisoned mind
Comfort zones
Breathing space
Poetically aligned
Tune out the world
Silencio
Peace be still
Moonlight gazing
Lunar bathing
Determined will
Thank God for school
Kids are gone
Time to think
I'm caffeinated
Motivated
Poems in sink
Walk the dog
Inhale the brainstorm
Brace for calm
Crack those words
Unvault the vowels
Reapply lip balm
Stress be free
Don't bother me

Along Came A Poem
Laying in my bed
Braindead
Wondering what it was you said
Body numb
Blood pumping like a drum
Must be this rum
Doodling misguided fingers on my keys
Help me please
Motivated pleas
Arthritic knees
The atmosphere is cold
This thought just got old
Creeping through my letters in bold
Give me a minute and hold
Hold onto this nonsensical grammar
Reign your judges down Thors hammer
My mindset is typically caught in the slammer
What a clamour?

Fly Away
I've been observing you for quite some time
Recording your every move
As you pantomime
How can you be so smooth?
I first caught glimpse in the kitchen
When I was looking for food
Wasn’t aware you were hitchin
I was in my morning mood
My brain was foggy
Lost in its synapses faze
My cereal was soggy
As I intended to graze
Next, I saw you hop
Snap
Crackle
Pop
Ran past my tv set
Like a blinding whirl
Knocked me down a fret
My ghost went hurl
I thought I should...

War Stories
consonants and vowels collide
nouns and verbs run interference
erasers omit the words that died
blank paper and quills look for clearance
homophones and homonyms
bring their confusion to the field
synonyms and antonyms
contradict one another until they yield
adjectives and adverbs reinforce
supplying ammo to their nouns
preposition plays medivac for the course
clearing injured letters from the grounds
conjunctions and interjections
are all to blame for my objection
judge, jury, and corrections
clash...

Pulling Teeth
This whole back and forth routine
Is really getting old
Each time I summon your committee
I get persecuted a billion-fold
I’m the poet
You’re the talent
You’re the pen
I’m the valiant
You are the basin
Where my talent is drawn
Over-running with poetry
Dribbling on a canvas from dusk till dawn
Inspiration upholds your wings
Dedication brings out your rings
Many times you dashed to the rescue
If only to be heard
You clothed my closed mind
And fed it until it stirred
You are...

Daddy's Day Off
No work for me
No work for me today
I’m off work from my job
I’m off work from my home
I‘m not answering to daddy today
Not my boss
Not my wife
My feet shall be kicked up high
Remote in one hand
Beer in the other
The chatterbox shall be loud today
Sports events
Video games
Movies
My slippers shall cuddle my feet today
My pajamas shall be nice and warm
My bedroom door shall be locked up tight
I am not having any visitors tonight
My food will flow over
My beer will spill over
My headphones will...

Bone Dry
My thoughts are brittle
Riddled with cracks and fractures
On the verge of acquittal
My energy is noncommittal
Awol
Dissipating little by little
My soul is withered
Life support
Carried away and littered
My pen is barren
Coughing up its last
Inkblot
Wastelands and desserts
Spew from my mouth
Like dry rot
My talent is desolate
Void of any intelligence
Boycott
Riddled with cracks and fractures
On the verge of acquittal
My energy is noncommittal
Awol
Dissipating little by little
My soul is withered

Carried away and littered
My pen is barren

Inkblot
