Redefine
Deep inside, don't understand
Eyes shut wide, ears expand
Signals sail upon cloud nine
Hear the bangs, echoes mime
Area grey, what's that tune?
Hysteria sways, I'll be back soon
Touch the sky, life rewinds
Dreamland spies... redefine
Eyes shut wide, ears expand
Signals sail upon cloud nine
Hear the bangs, echoes mime
Area grey, what's that tune?
Hysteria sways, I'll be back soon
Touch the sky, life rewinds
Dreamland spies... redefine

Friends let friends drive drunk
They were friends since childhood
They lived a few doors down from one another in a lower middle class neighborhood
They were inseparable
Once or twice they got into a fight
But by the next day they would make up
They went through grade school together
Middle school and High school
They graduated the same year
A year after graduation, the two boys attended a party
Around 1:30 am they were both leaving the party obliterated
They drove together in the same car
They lived about 20 minutes away from their homes
They were about 5 blocks...
They lived a few doors down from one another in a lower middle class neighborhood

Once or twice they got into a fight

A year after graduation, the two boys attended a party
Around 1:30 am they were both leaving the party obliterated
They drove together in the same car
They lived about 20 minutes away from their homes

Death Race
and they’ll say
haven’t you had enough?
(death and destruction)
(death and destruction)
to which I’d reply
not till they all reach the sky
so sit down
as we go for a hell of a ride
when I was alive
I tried to be the nice guy
was picked on
until I slicked my hair back
started wearing a leather coat
bought a ride the girls drooled over
was challenged to a drag race
couldn’t look week
so I said let’s ride
was head to head

U A P
from the depths of far beyond
to here where stars are glowing
in outer space where all belong
and consciousness is flowing
artificially and too
organically evolving
creating me, creating you
as Earth keeps revolving
moving up and moving down
crossing the ecliptic
spiraling around around
on a path elliptic
in a sunbeam where the dust
twinkles as it rises
and where burnished like a flake of rust
a UAP surprises
me...I am agog
it's not here to see a human
nor whale, dolphin nor a dog...

Blind Me
Headlights blind me
As I drive into the resurrection
She sings along as we cruise into
The greasy burger stand trying to
Scrape enough coin to feed the little ones
As cars criss cross the highway looking for
Their own redemption maybe if they can stay straight
But they drift off recessing into the dark alleyway
As a man walks along looking for lost money
The lights are bright at Walmart as
A local bicycle salesman closes for good because of them
Meet up at the Dollar...

Damaged Good
Damaged Goods
I have damage and I’m bruised and battered
Look to Jesus to deliver me
But he is busy saving the living
I’m damaged but I shine up real good
Don’t lift up the hood and see the real me
Keep the lid on my insanity so it won’t come out
When you see me you are challenged
What’s before your eyes or what’s not seen
If you didn’t know it you’d say he’s respectable
If you caught him on another day you’d say he’s reprehensible
I have damage and I’m bruised and battered
Look to Jesus to deliver me
But he is busy saving the living
I’m damaged but I shine up real good
Don’t lift up the hood and see the real me
Keep the lid on my insanity so it won’t come out
When you see me you are challenged
What’s before your eyes or what’s not seen
If you didn’t know it you’d say he’s respectable
If you caught him on another day you’d say he’s reprehensible

Home is where I want to be
The night came on all dismal and profound
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be

RIP
Practically everyday I walk through my local cemetery
Peaceful, tranquil, relaxing and time stands still
I have respect when entering
I always remember not to point at a grave, it will make your finger rot
Also, do not count the cars in a funeral procession,
for the amount of cars you count, will be the day that you perish sometime during that year
As I heard these superstitions from my elders, I never dared to explore these wise tales
One day as I awoke from my restful sleep, I began shivering uncontrollably
I just could not shake this feeling ...

mr guitar man
Notes and chords have become my second language and,
more often than not, that vocabulary expresses what I feel
when language fails me.”—Larry Burkett
his strings have more to say
than his pursed lips ever did
i sit and watch him play,
for the talent that he hid:
superiorer in silence than in sound.
his fingers are his tongue,
and his strings the orator,
whose words are fiercely strung
like a guileless praedator, ...

Dust and Dusk
In the vale where shadows crept at dusk
A masked man rode with silent tread
His name long lost, his purpose hushed
But death was sure where he was led
The dusty road beneath his steed
Lay barren, cracked, and lined with sin
The whispers told of evil deeds
Of souls he’d sent to winds that spin
He wore a mask of tattered black
That veiled his face from Heaven’s light
And in his hand, the Colt intact
Was quicker than the creeping night
At dusk, he came to deal his trade
Where blood and pride would often cross ...
A masked man rode with silent tread
His name long lost, his purpose hushed

Lay barren, cracked, and lined with sin

He wore a mask of tattered black
That veiled his face from Heaven’s light
And in his hand, the Colt intact

Sorrow Ascendent Canto III
Upon the cliffs of mournful stone
Shadows writhe and serpents drone
A kingdom lost, of bone and grief
Where sorrow reigns, without relief
The moon, a pale and shattered eye
Beholds the earth, condemned to die
The stars, long dimmed by ancient woe
Shine weakly on the void below
In that forsaken, broken land
A specter walked with bleeding hand
The wind was cold, the ground was cracked
No road remained, no path intact
He wandered there, a soul undone
Beneath the gaze of noonday’s sun
Though light no longer warmed the...
