someone’s grandad, mate
an old black and white sepia
toned photo of an
elderly bloke smoking a briar pipe
seems amusing to some as they suck
on their vape ..

Market Manipulation
Hanging onto every word I say
Stock markets are the games I play
Charts are shown in my big speech
Calculations and formulas for deceit
Tariffs in place, everyone sells
I sold short, I'm doing well
As markets crash the world burns
A perfect plan, I'm not concerned
Trillions gone, up in smoke
Your life savings, it's no joke
Money transferred from you to me
This shadowy grift you'll never see ...

I Don't Want To Be Pushed Into It
Look, Mom. When it's time
for me to do so, I will get
married. It's just I'm so
focused on my modeling
career here in Miami to
even considering it now.
Give my love to Dad.

Flower of Artistry
Creations in motions Stimulating emotions swirling on canvas
Swiveling from her hands sensual dance as hips echo the flow
The artistry blooming vividly in rainbows before my prismatic eyes
Howling at the moon in syllables only wolves can fathom
Her energy wahes across my soul in waves so delicately
Only my heart can translate from color to delicacy
How do i write words to reflect the kaleidoscope of sensation
The lovely artisan pollinates that which Blossoms within
Her brush strokes bring erupting buds to explode with carnal scents
As an...

Temps May Vary
Lights flicker
as air conditioner powers up
constant white noise
of diverse fans whirring
ceiling, plug-in, USB
five-hundred dollar mensual
utility bills start arriving
all to keep hellish heat outside
and maintain the temperature,
Inside our affordable Texas home,
like that of Winter in Alaska’s Nome
so keep a knit cap, gloves, and parka handy
for Summer inside wear
SPF-80 lotion, shades, shorts, and light tee
for out-of-doors apparel
To properly worship
the blazing Sun’s glare

A breaded red cabbage
"Dad, grab a car -
a cab -
a red cab!"
Dad grabbed a red cab;
raced afar;
a bad, drab cafe (feared area!)
Bearded Dad dared,
"Cabbage! Carb!
A breaded cabbage.
A breaded red cabbage -
a fadge.
Add a carafe; decaf!"
Aged, eager badger acceded.
Dad raged,
"Bad bread!
Regard degraded cabbage!"
Begged a free feed.
Badger gabbed,
"barefaced greed!"
Dad badgered,
"A free feed! Fab!"
Farce!
Badger fed...
a cab -
a red cab!"

Bleed
A parchment and a quill
is all I ever seek
to craft a tapestry
of emotional streak
People may call me a freak-
writing and erasing
what I dream, what I mean-
lost in futile chasing
Madness mystifying
as night spreads in the sky;
pen running on blank page
as wild feelings soar high
It's my laughter and cry
that echoes on crisp sheets;
senseless verses naked
as my heart and soul bleeds
is all I ever seek
to craft a tapestry
of emotional streak
People may call me a freak-
writing and erasing
what I dream, what I mean-
lost in futile chasing
Madness mystifying
as night spreads in the sky;
pen running on blank page
as wild feelings soar high
It's my laughter and cry
that echoes on crisp sheets;
senseless verses naked
as my heart and soul bleeds

Eternal Emptiness
The winds howled deep within my soul
An enraged storm has taken control
Emptiness has consumed me
I'm flooded with an emotionless reality
It's cold and dark in this abyss
Love was denounced and dismissed
Rage fueled by a growing pettiness
Ugliness transformed from prettiness
Self absorbed I lost compassion
Emotions murdered by hate's assassin
Unable to feel any sympathy
Or understand the importance of empathy
Laughing, I watch you suffer and bleed
My world motivated by power and greed
These poison pills...

Pontiac Safari: Second Owner
Summoned by Grandma
to her Redding, CA home
for a visit and heartbreaking task
asked to assume ownership
of Grandpa's prized possession
his precious ‘72 Pontiac
though I needed the ride
the sad circumstances
wounded Grandad's pride
and truly tore me up inside
feeling like his jailer
Imprisoning him
in his double wide trailer.
I drove that beautiful, twenty foot,
golden, barge-like wagon
for at least five years.
with it's space age, curved rear window
seating capacity
for a maximum of 10 friends ...

Frontlines
I was enlisted in a battle
I should have never fought
This war was created by you
Over silly insecurities and for what
I told you to bring the pain
Bring the tears
Bring the joys
Bring all the fears
You added to this list I must fight
You brought anger into this plight
I was on the front lines
Doing what I needed to do
Throwing every arsenal, I have
Just to get through to you
If I had already lost this war
Why even walk across my line
If there is someone else out there
Willing to...

The Rot
My soul once innocent
My feelings unscathed
I once was magnificent
But time has betrayed
My actions so virtuous
My heart so pure
Life became torturous
And I became unsure
With innocence erased
I felt anger begin
Hatred replaced
And the rot set in
My blackened heart
With no love to give
A vicious start
Of this new way to live
Mentally detached
Reckless in nature
Quick to attack
Cuz I fucking hate you
I say what I want
My unfiltered tongue
Excitement nonchalant ...
My feelings unscathed
I once was magnificent
But time has betrayed
My actions so virtuous
My heart so pure
Life became torturous
