Pretentious People Suck!
I met this guy through friends
I decided to have them over my house a few days ago
He told me he was a philosopher
He said he was trained in school to be one
I asked him: trained like a circus clown or a soldier?
He didn't like that much
I decided to put a CD on
He asked me what CD it was
I told him it was a Motorhead album
Their 1982 album "Iron Fist"
He asked who that was
I told him Lemmy, the vocalist was a philosopher from England
He didn't like that line, or the music or his voice
He walked out of the...

A Valuable Lesson
So I was at the public library here in town the other day. I live in a very small town by the way. Just returning some books my kids had borrowed. Nothing to make a big deal about you’d think.
After putting the books on the return desk, I decided to go over to the autobiography section just to take a gander. I start looking for musicians in particular. Ones I don’t have or haven’t read.
Off on the other side of the library there was a group having a meeting. It’s audible what they’re saying, but it’s by no means yelling at the top of their lungs. It sounds...

Will You Be My Person
Are you my person?
When I need you in the dark
When the nightmare won't leave me alone
Even in the day
When I need to be held
Feeling the security that life doesn't give me
Make me feel like everything is OK
Will you be my person?
When I need you in the dark
When the nightmare won't leave me alone
Even in the day
When I need to be held
Feeling the security that life doesn't give me
Make me feel like everything is OK
Will you be my person?

Unstuck
Are you alone?
On this blank page.
White is as scary.
As a tip of a blade.
Put a letter.
Maybe two.
See what happens.
To inspire you.
There you go.
And It's only a start.
Do you feel it?
That is your heart.
It's getting easier now.
Don’t you think?
A moment ago,
Was just a blink.
Your muse is back.
It was gone for a minute.
I know you were scared.
Dive back in it.
Sometimes it is hard.
To start again.
A gift is not a gift.
If you do not share it my friend.

Sunday Night
You are my Sunday night.
Monday begins a grind of necessity.
Tuesday are meeting ‘s of improbabilities
Wednesday is the hump that is starting to maim
Thursday is the breaking point of talking in vain
Friday is the day that will relieve some stress
Saturday waking up in a tangled mess
Sunday night is where my heart lies
Staring and knowing I will continue...
Just as you look at me that way...
with those eyes.

A typical Sunday morning
As I looked into her blackhole,
I knew she needed to use the porcelain thrown
As I waited, I began working on my origami birds
20 minutes later, I heard a swishing, whirlpool like sound coming from the bathroom
She was like, "I'm cuckoo for cocoa puffs"!
"Ok, Let's eat!"

A Terrible Depth
Every beautiful surface has a terrible depth. - unknown
The mysterious formation
of pristine turquoise glaciers
in my heart.
Are the monuments of all
my cold goodbyes.
The terrible ache of the chaos of life,
broke off an island of ice
seeking the why.
The tip of the iceberg is
frozen shards of what's left behind.
Sinking voyaging thoughts
from the dark depths of my mind.
Standing there is a beautiful man
who says take my hand.
I will forever be your land.

frozen shards of what's left behind.
Sinking voyaging thoughts
from the dark depths of my mind.
Standing there is a beautiful man
who says take my hand.
I will forever be your land.

Heart Of Stone
Gotta try something different this time
I’ve lost the rhythm can’t find the beat
Advice is free but it’s a dime per rhyme
To seize victory from the jaws of defeat
This isn’t a joke don’t have a punchline
Some facts hit harder when faced alone
Faint whispers breed rumors by design
Little white lies forming a heart of stone

The Life Of A Rockstar
Love call for Rockstars:
Define
Confine
Enshrine
Then:
Dethrone
Disown
Bemoan
After ten years:
Exhume
Resume
Consume
Baby, you're gonna be ok.

Thoughts
Is the end, truly the end
Or is it an excuse to try something new?
If you dip your toe in the darkness of me
Why test, dive in. Fear has no place here
There is no reverse shift
In this car only the rear view mirror shows what's behind
Here is wood,a pick and six strings.
Smooth the wood
Tightened the strings
Pic away until I sing.

Day Unschedualed
Is this a good one?
where all the roses bloom
skies are blue, and you pledge your feelings are true?
Is it a broody and contrary day?
never happy with this and that
When I say up, you say, is that a fact?
Is it going to be anger?
unleash and unabashed
Total destruction is your function
and in its wake, you leave bone and ash
Is it regret?
Of words and actions that were never meant to happen
Still, it happened
Shit, it really happened
The day I give to you
quiet and...

A not so wordy poem
Words can never cover
all the things i want to state
but may make some faint impression
with the facts i now relate
