POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Have a little time on my hands to write out songs and such.
Things To Do
World’s getting heavy
All tucked up in this little town
Where the old fade like photographs
Tired of make believe
Dreaming it just ain’t living it
Making subsistent level paychecks
I’ve had enough now
Heard the horizon calling me
A bridge to a place that goes one way
All my friend’s leaving, so should I
It don’t matter to me
Here or there I’m ready to go
Honey I’m tired of waiting all the time
Wanting that gold mine now
So let’s hit the road
Sail oceans I’ve never seen
Can’t be...

Sail oceans I’ve never seen

Closing The Books
Banished once again
A couple thousand to my name
Given by a boss with a lisp
Contrite in his heart
They need someone
Might as well be you he said
Stars on your knees, cross your heart
We give until nothing is left
Sat in my favorite bar
Took a drink, ate a little salad
Wore my best clothes for the last time
Kissed her quiet lips goodbye
It’s what it is baby
Can’t predict what life does
So while I go you become somebody
Get done up pretty
Spare no tears just chin up
Maybe someday I’ll...

Failed State
The cosmic dust
It tasted like first blood
Dripping along a blanket of lust
Evil things we’ve done
I remember the turn
A slit wrist held by another
Her eyes spun just like hurricanes
Sinister snarl in that kiss
Addicted to the rush
Dead lands left in our wake
Toiling in foreign streams
Narcos and warheads intermingle
Local priest strung up bizarre
In rituals I’ve never seen
We become vampires
Taken the wings of better men
Crossbones, suppressors
Oppressing not one
Addicted...

Bone Man
Done in a flash
Exit out the back door
Dodging arrows in a gold mine
White flag gone red
Gunslinging all night
So I’m up with the blood moon
Already turning like a dime
I’m just fast enough
It’s a sure thing
An off again, on again
Don’t you know I’m the enemy
It’s a death kiss
The hollow point bullet
A silver blade goes in between
I’m here today
But gone on the next
One more hello and goodbye
Dragons in Mexico
They twist like coiled snakes
Loyal until coin runs dry ...

Movements
I sit in this cafe
Count the little droplets
That cascading rain in October
My drink without a care
I wonder where you are
Did heaven settle all your affairs
Or is it a myth like I thought
Someone’s solitude
I have no answer
Only laugh at the mystery
Cause life keeps taking things away
I’m getting older it seems
It’s all I see
Hate turning weak
But I like the burn of living
Damn the unknown
Can’t ever look back again
Yet questions loom right above me
Badlands settle
And...

I Guess So
My enemies growing
Skin walkers and dirty witches
Devil paintings on my wall
Superstition grows
I’m seeing double
The things I can’t forget
Footsteps follow in a heartbeat
Like this empty house
I’d cut up both ends
But I don’t think I’ll survive it
Dark corners get darker
My light just goin
So come on now
Life is finally done with me
Drunk on the knowing
It’s all just noise
Skin walkers and dirty witches
Devil paintings on my wall
Superstition grows
I’m seeing double
The things I can’t forget
Footsteps follow in a heartbeat
Like this empty house
I’d cut up both ends
But I don’t think I’ll survive it
Dark corners get darker
My light just goin
So come on now
Life is finally done with me
Drunk on the knowing
It’s all just noise

Deliver Me
Warm in the sun
Deadlines going on late
I’m in no hurry hell I never was
Too busy slumming it
Grass can grow
And the rains can flood
Over me, under me, around me
Wherever water goes
My brain haywires
Society says I’m bombing it
But it’s too late to be anything more
Then feathers in the wind
Got gold on my mind
Bipolar queen in a wedding dress
Her kiss only reminding me
Takes little to satisfy
Still trying to fit in
Shirt and tie in the morning
Shift ends, feels good, it’s about...

Legions Of The Spare
I carry no flag
Don’t bleed red or blue
If your down then begin bowing
Nonsensical to the end
Black and white
The thrill you can’t fulfill
Self made man says never hunger
Cause we all get hungry
It’s the truth to some degree
Your owned
Sinking a little more
Where you land is the cost
Your turned
But you won’t profit
Live on what they defecate
Those committed
Their hands in your pockets
Wearing suits and blues on parade
Elected by the bloodshed
Thank the elite...

Sway
Your secrets sold
And his is yours to keep
I don’t really mind where it goes
You can have anything
Call it a surprise
Call it whatever you want
Your a hungry dog with no loyalty
Not to the hand that feeds
I turn my back
If you want satisfaction
Squander your chance or take it
But be warned
For I offer no absolution
Nothing will sway once decided
Left in original sin
Like wizards who levitate
Your callous and a little ruthless
He’s no better, useless
You say too much
And...

Endlessly
I never had a soul
Think it died some time ago
And the absence of light proves it so
The tyrants dispel
But you offer no absolution
There’s a scepter among your gown
Such fickle affection
But a touch is all it ever was
For vicious bloodlines in your circle
The marauders that arise
Your beauty grazed
Rip torn by the powers that be
Borders crossed and treaties slashed
War ahead, transcending
I never had a soul
Think it died some time ago
And the absence of light proves it so ...

Borders crossed and treaties slashed

Think it died some time ago

Lowlands
Took a chance
And spared no expense
Enthralled in temptation’s wake
That sulfates your eyes
It mocks you all the time
Filing incarnations
The mortal coil you stumble
Abrasive bliss that stings even now
Feeling some kind of way
It’s so far from who you are
Thrown to the ground
How heavy is your time of need
When no one offers a hand
Only scowl in return
It’s that sudden turn
The burning and twirling satire
That swirls your river bend
Empties...

Dominion
I despise times like these
The displaced swell in the streets
Go hungry by their contagion
Fate steeped mystery
Children have no fathers
And their mothers can’t stay pretty
A wild era that breathes wrath
Unfurl the dragon’s fire
Leave, sown
Let the weak wither
Defame, candor
The strong merely buckle
Dominion over all
You heard the thunder
A marching mockery of luxury
Every rock turned for brownie points
Just to cut you at the knees
Mischief and madness ...
The displaced swell in the streets
Go hungry by their contagion
Fate steeped mystery
Children have no fathers
And their mothers can’t stay pretty
A wild era that breathes wrath
Unfurl the dragon’s fire
Leave, sown
Let the weak wither
Defame, candor
The strong merely buckle
Dominion over all
You heard the thunder
A marching mockery of luxury
Every rock turned for brownie points
Just to cut you at the knees
Mischief and madness ...
