Oddity
So it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon
As I was just sitting there
Watching a football game,
More like just listening to the buzz on the TV
While reading and writing.
Then, a weird sort of e-mails comes in
Curious, I look.
It is a weird sort of response
To a poem on the net,
Full of spite, anger and rebuke
From a total stranger
Not even known from Adam and Eve.
What to do?
How to react?
I am baffled, but methinks
It might be a good base
For a short story.
I will dwell on that.
Kisses, Robert.

Thankful for you
A hard time for me
but I am thankful for you
for all that you are
but I am thankful for you
for all that you are

The Dark Whispers Of Miss Saigon (Act II of Act III)
Dreams of loving in the ideal of once was in the tidal wave of seeing your gloomy silhouette
Harkens unto the absence of stalwart souls having no engaging energy to reconnect
Kisses in the soft breeze fall upon the desolate of misplaced apparition upon pebbled stones
Hear the entreaties of longing in an image of man barren of my love from my hipbone
My faltering voice saturating as rain in rice fields lay bare as growth they surely shall come
Feeling your wandering languish icy palms slowly crawling over me in the warm midst
To have you in remembrance from...

Feeling your wandering languish icy palms slowly crawling over me in the warm midst

KLOS
I only get a chance to dial in when I drive back
Not sure why I did what I did
But this week I tuned in online
And for some reason
All the songs on the station filled me with nostalgia
The DJs are different but the format’s the same
While a horde of memories came back flooding in
Both the good and bad
The dull and the rad
I was reliving some moments I thought I’d forgotten
For a second there I could feel guilt peeking through
But my serenity balled up its fist
Punched it in the head and whispered “not today”
Then Zen...

Golden Rules
Be an asshole for love
Do whatever it takes to
keep her happy
Make her breakfast in bed
Buy her flowers
Buy her candy
Help her if she needs help
Show her:
Kindness and Respect
Be her Captain
Be her knight in
Shining Armor
Be a gentlemen and
pay on the first date
then listen and get
to know her
Do whatever it takes to
keep her happy
Make her breakfast in bed
Buy her flowers
Buy her candy
Help her if she needs help
Show her:
Kindness and Respect
Be her Captain
Be her knight in
Shining Armor
Be a gentlemen and
pay on the first date
then listen and get
to know her

In Dreams Ive wanderd far beneath
The sun a subtle whisper made,
A lurid phantom in the sky,
To slip beneath the closing day,
And leave her smile in my mind.
In dreams I’ve wandered far beneath,
The silent flow of dismal time,
And as a prisoner of belief,
I’ve dream’d of loving thee for life.
With shadows in my longing eyes,
I’ve heard the echo of the sea,
And watch’d the vespers in the sky,
Shine their phantom lights on me.
I see that beauty finds thee now,
A noble queen of nature’s realm,
As in fresh springtime’s waking hour, ...
A lurid phantom in the sky,
To slip beneath the closing day,
And leave her smile in my mind.
In dreams I’ve wandered far beneath,
The silent flow of dismal time,
And as a prisoner of belief,
I’ve dream’d of loving thee for life.
With shadows in my longing eyes,
I’ve heard the echo of the sea,
And watch’d the vespers in the sky,
Shine their phantom lights on me.
I see that beauty finds thee now,
A noble queen of nature’s realm,
As in fresh springtime’s waking hour, ...

Crocodile
Even when he lies
He says
I'll be back in an hour
I shrug it off and
Take a shower
Many hours later
He strolls into the house
I sit waiting like a mouse
Look into his eyes
Already know he's fried
Even when he lies
He says
I smoked a little weed
His anthem his creed
Saluting the visible bloody vein
Even when I lie
I say
I'll love you forever
Float over like a
Magnetic feather
When he reaches for my hand
I should have ran
He touches my skin
I know he wants...

He says
I smoked a little weed
His anthem his creed
Saluting the visible bloody vein
Even when I lie

I'll love you forever
Float over like a
Magnetic feather

Will You Love Me
Will you love me
During my stygian hours
Will you love me
Even when I can’t love myself
Quietly willing you alone
To breathe life in my worthless heart
Will You Love Me
During my stygian hours
Will you love me
Even when I can’t love myself
Quietly willing you alone
To breathe life in my worthless heart
Will You Love Me

polka dot
the polka dot orchid smiled at me
while the noon sun hung crooked
psychedelic time stop there
inside my need it halt
I wore a halo of regret
its heavy weight said I was no good
salvation was for the innocent
not the guilty
I was too jaded to believe
a denim heart worn from wear
didn't believe in love anymore
not for me
my patches outnumbered my denim
a patch for jealousy
one for a cheaters limbo
another for broken trust
I could no longer cover
what my soul knew
i sucked at love...
