How Should I Answer
Another man’s trash is considered another man’s treasure
So spread her legs and enjoy my sloppy-second pleasure,
“With the additional prizes of headaches and hell
Because I refuse to live any longer in a free roaming jail,
“In the beginning a motherfucka thought he was winning
However, my dumb ass was only losing time and slipping,
“Blinded by a sweet attitude and blindsided by flesh
All along I was a pawn in bullshit and mess,
“Got caught up in the feeling and her squealing
She saying ‘I love you’ while I...

Friction
It felt like a bumblebee waltzing with my heart
Gravity so strong the universe couldn't rip us apart
I remember staring forever back into a butterfly's eyes
Watching the eternal collide as moons fell and suns rise
I listened to feathers speaking as they fell of my failure
Feathers gliding on forever whispers like acrobatic aerial sailors
As my achievements were carried up high screaming from eagle's wings
Love's burning smoke engulfed me, shielding me from the world's sting
And I, I was oblivious to living my life between the universe's tusk...

Starship
A spiritual soul of a man, a strong existence whose aura fits within the lock of my life to turn the master key
Exploring the seven voyages of my lunar Chakras
Scaling the reverent awareness of my inner thoughts, touching the effervesce of my Chi, kissing upon my queen’s nature
Heightening my sacred revelations spoken in spirituality and in truth
In the dominion of realty, my head bowed in reverence, the gift of blind knowledge, waiting to be exposed, appreciated, and utilized
Lessons of ancient taught and deciphered, gainful...

My Wish to the Young, Said the Pirate to his Mate
Aye,
life does ever dream indeed of finding
Booty lost at sea,
especially the life and likes
my friend,
the likes of you and me.
I’ll wager, no chance
has the luck of you nor I
of claiming slice of that dear pie!
But heavens,
we’ll try just the same ‘til death takes its grip,
leather in hand
cracking life with a whip.
As flesh turns to dust, bone turns to stone,
the Devil will chase us, we’ll rattle his throne.
Waves will then catch us and whitecaps will follow.
Our souls...

Pedal to the Metal
California - Southbound One-O-One
Pedal to the medal, enjoying the scene
The Pacific Ocean is blue and sparkling
Top down, cool breeze, living the dream
The heart beats faster as the engine roars
But at top speeds it takes a lot of nerves
There’s a thrill that hangs in the balance
As tires screech on those treacherous curves
Though there may be warning signs everywhere
The driver may ignore them with a little smug
Because no matter what others will caution or say
The excitement of velocity is like a drug
...

Aftertaste
You left an agonizing feeling
in the pit of my stomach.
Not a hurtful one,
not an angry one,
one like I'd eaten greasy food,
and had to stop just before the vomit.
Your splurge of words, coming
back to haunt me.
An oily dissatisfaction oozing~
to the spew they are,
they were,
and will be.
in the pit of my stomach.

A Dark Rerun
he painted red white
but blue caused anxiety
blue brought out
the dark mood
his paint brush
avoided it when possible
it caused recollection
of her/
of grief and pain
_
the tree's still there
with leaves of memory
the rope hung limp
and quiet
before being removed
it held death
_
he was the youth
that caused her worry
that day
she wore blue
she went mental
now so is he ...

Sundays Are for Breakfast in Bed
The birds begin before the sun,
a murmuring chorus slipping through the curtains,
soft gold spilling over her shoulder
and I lie here, watching,
watching the slow rise and fall of her breath,
the way her lips part in dreams,
how her hair spills across the pillow
like a river I could wade in forever.
My fingers trace lazy circles in her hair,
soft, absentminded strokes
I swear the scent of her could drive me mad.
Our bodies fit like a secret well kept,
feet tangled, legs woven,
like the world carved us from the same stone ...

If you can't find love
anywhere
Seek it within you
