Phaded {The Moral Clause}
we're not pretty people
maybe once when we were young
and full of wonderment
but then we stepped off the porch
and the world happened in a microwave instant
smearing us in every shade of Sex
without a moral clause
so as humans
it's up to us to pick and choose
our yea's and nay's..our do's and don'ts
our admissions and omissions
with that said, baby
I'll never ask you about your body count
cuz the only count I'm concerned
with is how many times I'll get to enter...

I know you mean well
I really do
but goddamn
everything I do doesn't require
your "expertise"
do you enjoy being a nag
or is it hereditary?
your mouth all mighty tongue everlasting
can be such a drag at times
makes me wonder if you were always
an old hag in disguise looking for
someone you can henpeck
into an early grave
you met me being me
being free
it was my sovereignty
that made you wet...made you sweat
or did you forget?

Need a BETTER PLAN
Not collecting aluminum cans
But owning revenues like Diamonds and Land to
Destination with turquoise water and white hot sand everywhere you look every one has a Tan
I know this takes several grand
Are the eyes really quicker than the Hand ?
Getting together with my ONE man band
Words,Metaphors and topics
Keeping it hot I had to drop it
Is there anyone concerned if I only have LINT in my pockets?
And court DOCKETS
What's down can only go uP...

Mourning's Embrace
In the realm of Mourning's embrace,
Where sorrow sings and tears abound,
I wander through this mournful space,
Forlorn, lost, a mother unbound.
In the cradle of hope, he once dwelt,
My valiant son, brave and true,
With laughter and love, his heart did melt,
Held tight by my arms, a bond so few.
But Fate did weave a darker thread,
And whispered secrets in his ear,
A weight too heavy for him to tread,
A burden he couldn't help but bear.
Oh, how my heart yearns for that day,
When joy danced upon his...
Where sorrow sings and tears abound,

Forlorn, lost, a mother unbound.

My valiant son, brave and true,
With laughter and love, his heart did melt,
Held tight by my arms, a bond so few.
But Fate did weave a darker thread,
And whispered secrets in his ear,
A weight too heavy for him to tread,
A burden he couldn't help but bear.
Oh, how my heart yearns for that day,
When joy danced upon his...

Do you want to know a secret?
I want to tell you
The word
Wait
Because
That means a lot
Mr Moonlight
In my life
Money
Now and then
Misery
Please please me
Nowhere man
I want to hold your hand
Mother Natures son
I should have known better
Day tripper
Can't buy me love
Hallelujah
Here comes the sun
Run for your life
Ask me why
I just don't understand
Happiness is a warm gun
In spite of all the danger
Helter skelter
Baby you're a rich man ...

Of Nature's Worth In Words
Nature,and Earth and poetry, from nature into words, give your words
pigmental hues and translate them into living beings.
Glory to the tree, splendor of the mountain....
Energy of the wind and of the sea
Solid is the rock on the mountain's top
Fluent, the waters when they stream like poetry....
carrying all the human cares, sins and pains ashore...
Nature is worth the words shed on her land
full of warmth that breaths humanity and spirituality
Patience rhymes with obedience, with kindness....
Lore...

Afflicted
every now and again it happens
when a thought bubble
becomes a solid sphere of inspiration
a circular muse with a lasting gravitational effect
i'm speaking of a poem...the kind of poem
that can sit upon the psyche
all day..all night..for weeks
superimposed over every waking thought
a persistent undercurrent to emotional pinings
a poem that has a contradictory personality
selfish yet liberal
allowing you to fuck with other poems on the side
as some sort of sarcastic reprieve ...

Quotes From Omitted Footnotes
it was always dust
tasted a lot like sugar
but dust all the same"
****
a thought is all it takes
a simple structure
custom tailored by an idea
cultivated at the gala of extravaganza
in hopes of being made into a tangible thesis perhaps
a fragmented yet cohesive spillage
dropping down the chimney-mind
sometimes divine
sometimes as a gift from the Satan's claws

Chambermaid's Lament
The heart is
a spoiled child
Making demands
of weary parents
Throwing foot stomping tantrums
in skipping patterns
As if heartbeats
know a thing
About the tangled web
of the creature
called us
And this
chloroform soaked existence
Where even the mind
shuts

Trains That No Longer Whistle
Trains That The Words Forgot, but to be forgotten is meant that they are antiquity, priceless master-pieces . As long as times roll back, those things grow in worth, take layers of dust that bring them richness , respect and Nostalgia..
Steam and smoke trains, don't fume anymore, lying like dead corpses or spare parts of what once was called the golden age;;If they would fume, they would only give a plaintive sigh, about their desolate demise; forsaken and rejected.Thought to have lost their charm, their romance:too much archaic and rusted for a modern glossary,

"You're right I'm sorry, I won't bring it up again"
When all that I said is
That I wanted to be respected like a friend
"nevermind it doesn't matter"
but I cried myself to sleep for weeks
if you keep punching holes into a cup
of course, it's empty after it leaks
"you're right, I'm sorry, I should have brought it up before"

trying so hard to be "easy"
to not need and to not want
