Autumn Park
a day at the beach’
a cavalcade through
a vintage landscape
Today’s the day
she lets me in
Today’s the day
she lets me in
In the shadow
on the mountain side
you can dry your eyes
Today’s the day
she lets me in
Today’s the day

Today’s the day

In the shadow

you can dry your eyes
Today’s the day
she lets me in
Today’s the day
she lets me in

Yoli
Long satin gloves
Ribbons in her hair to match
She wears a simple dress with sepia tones
Strut on down the runway
Cameras flash like waves of glass
Gentlemen, tip your hats
Shadows of adoring fans
Photographs in the desert sands
The cars drive past in monochrome
In 1950’s monochrome
Ribbons in her hair to match
She wears a simple dress with sepia tones
Strut on down the runway
Cameras flash like waves of glass
Gentlemen, tip your hats
Shadows of adoring fans
Photographs in the desert sands
The cars drive past in monochrome
In 1950’s monochrome

Ma And Me pt. 2
We spread glue down our palms to the fucking tips
Ma and me on a mission to let shit rip
Fuck a check spot, we need a really big score
We need one with compounded interest like never before
Ma said let's hit the dope boys, the wanna be hard
Let's roll up hard and fast, before they can put up their guard
Let's run through the spot, check the safe and the walls
Clean these motherfuckers out, leave them holding their balls
We took the drugs, all jewelry, and the fucking cash
Ma wanted to wear that shit, but she knew that we didn't pay cash...

Ma And Me pt. 1
We started out young,me and Ma, fresh out the joint
We started running up in liquor stores and robbing check cashing points
Hell after a year in juvie we were out to get ours
We would pull surveillance on a target hours upon hours
We had both been down before so we knew what was
The motherfucking risk we were taking if we ever got caught
We had felt a few drizzles and one or two showers for our pain
But now it was time to go balls out and really make it rain
The plan was laid out, we had cased the front and back parking lot
We waited...

To Mother (A Prayer after the Cataclysms)
Tales from the Old Man – The Defiant Heart
We sat around the camp fire under the stars
as we felt the cool mountain breeze in our faces
Then the old man stood and walked in circles around the fire.
His tattered robes swayed in the light wind.
With his gaze on the flames he lifted his cup and began:
“In those ancient times
They raped, pillaged and exploited her
They plundered everything she had given them
Through the centuries they treated her without care

Grand Theft Auto
Key in the ignition, let’s begin.
Foot on the pedal, it’s not stealing,
Just borrowing, for an hour or two.
Doing ninety now, no sign of lights of blue.
Music blaring without a care.
Who said peer pressure isn’t fun?
Each of us daring to go out there;
No fear of crashing because we are young.
Still learning to lose control.
Shackles released; let’s see how fast we can go.
Flew past a ton in the blink of an eye.
Touching the sky in our under the influence minds.

The Trapper
Through the deepest snow, I somehow carry myself forward.
In a biting cold wind that blows me back.
No other sound to be heard.
I have to find an animal to put in my knapsack.
With boots of old, made from a fallen foe.
The bear that once roared so loudly; roars no more.
At ten foot tall, he shrank my heart,
But the spear struck and he crashed down to the floor.
A cloud of ice burst up from all around his empty life;
This sorry sight is no longer the dreaded claw.
The darkness surrounds me; the burning fire my only...

Unsheathed
Unsheathed, with defences breeched
Take flight, and feel the taste of haste
Bows bent and shots fire
A hopeless war with no time to waste
What side to choose?
When a war insues
Smouldering at our door
like the times before
Are there hints hidden in hues?
or written in clues?
Please I implore,
What is it that we fight for?
Pray tell? what news?
Tis it all a mere ruse?
The lines of battle have been drawn
The hymns of war have just begun
Fiends, friends, family and hell spawn
March to the different banners...
Take flight, and feel the taste of haste
Bows bent and shots fire
A hopeless war with no time to waste
What side to choose?
When a war insues
Smouldering at our door
like the times before
Are there hints hidden in hues?
or written in clues?
Please I implore,
What is it that we fight for?
Pray tell? what news?
Tis it all a mere ruse?

Rain, Rivers and Cascades
I must be dreaming,
I hear the rain outside my windows,
I can hear my kids screaming,
Enjoying the river as the water flows.
I hear a stream in the other room,
Cascades are falling through the walls,
It all seems so surreal so I assume,
The rivers runs rapidly through the halls.
So in between dream and fantasy,
I expect my bed to slowly drift me away,
Hearing splashing somewhere in reality,
But in this fond illusion I want to stay.
I can hear the water falling, rushing,
The trees are dancing in the cool breeze,...

3am
I suddenly wake to the dog barking ferociously, and the cats are both inside, and neither of my children are home with me at the moment.
I reach underneath my pillow searching for the revolver and it slides down the back of the bed, and my heart is racing 100 miles an hour.
Meanwhile, the dog starts snarling and I hear twigs snapping just outside my window, so I stand up swiftly, and feel along the top of my wardrobe to acquire the glock.
When you live on acreage beyond the perimeters of suburbia, and your closest next door neighbor is...

A sleeping dragon
Beneath the ground there lives a beast.
For aeon’s it has lain asleep,
Upon the bones of those it defeats.
The hopeless slain in graves so deep beneath.
The firelight in only darkness.
The ghost of old, it’s only witness.
A beast so foul, so pitiless,
Has killed a thousand men in a thousand feet deep pit.
It waits in slumber, further under,
The kingdom beneath which it constantly plunders.
A fire in the sky at midnight,
Alerts the keepers of the last kings keep.
The beast has been awoken after a hundred years’...
