Fool's Gold
An abundance of riches
Glittering in stupidity
Gold fools
Dancing in their misery
Find a name
Point finger
Start to blame
Hide the shame
Dismiss
Repeat again
A hoard of currency
Spent upon the empty
Stripped tunnels
Only full of self pity
Sunken mine
Dull without a glimmer
Hollow mind
Matte convinced of shimmer
Thoughts left thinner
Shallow and non-waded
A penny for your thoughts
Simpleton aggravated
Tunneled vision
On track
Given decision...

Heritage in Vain
I've tasted true freedom
I've eaten better than kings
I've looked down on angels
Watched them deny their wings
I've heard the sweetest songs
That nature could sing
I've sat alone in the meadow
Listening to the bird's serenading
I've laughed with the best of them
Known the truth to speak
Carried the heaviest of burdens
Don't you cry for me
I've watched the sky my whole life
And the colors it brings
I've tasted the finest woman
Looked upon what she sees
I've experienced experience
With...

Blank Title
In this ever-loving bloom
We all consume the lasting gloom
Until the doom sits in our tomb
There's no escaping
In this illuminating night
Where the light gives up the fight
Where the fright just feels right
There's no mistaking
Chaos becomes routine
The way is lost, ruining
We're just agreeing
Shrug off the meaning
We're all partaking
Defrost our icy hearts
We played the part of the depart
Callous and hard, with mind made scarred
There's no awaking
Sitting still and passive
While...
We all consume the lasting gloom
Until the doom sits in our tomb
There's no escaping
In this illuminating night
Where the light gives up the fight
Where the fright just feels right
There's no mistaking
Chaos becomes routine
The way is lost, ruining
We're just agreeing
Shrug off the meaning
We're all partaking
Defrost our icy hearts
We played the part of the depart
Callous and hard, with mind made scarred
There's no awaking
Sitting still and passive

Reigning Blue
Sun shines upon my day
In blues and grays
Cold hues and temperatures
Embue my bones
I can't shake this feeling
As the sirens sound the tempest
Rain clouds to wash away
These peering rays
Foundation drenched and overflowing
Pouring upon the giving sod
Nectar stands at the lecturn
Showering it's sweet speech
Until there's no more to say
To end complain
Basking in the amber rain drops
Like honey dewed upon the grass blades
Their meaning between my toes
Makes me forget that I am...
In blues and grays
Cold hues and temperatures
Embue my bones
I can't shake this feeling
As the sirens sound the tempest
Rain clouds to wash away
These peering rays
Foundation drenched and overflowing
Pouring upon the giving sod
Nectar stands at the lecturn
Showering it's sweet speech
Until there's no more to say
To end complain
Basking in the amber rain drops
Like honey dewed upon the grass blades
Their meaning between my toes
Makes me forget that I am...

Bah with the Bah
Your political view is breathtaking
When it comes to repeating,
You're a master.
Manipulated by fear, hate and disaster
They pull your strings
I watch you sing
You claim they're your thoughts
But I just heard them off your tv
It's everywhere
Asses planted in couches
Pretending to care
Uneducated opiate addicts
Regurgitating in masses
And when the tragic happens
They find us lost...
...zapped to screens just like moths
It's left me cold and dead inside
Watching buried heads...
When it comes to repeating,
You're a master.
Manipulated by fear, hate and disaster
They pull your strings
I watch you sing
You claim they're your thoughts
But I just heard them off your tv

Stressed. In. Peace.
Buried in tranquility
An empty grave
Surrounded by fragility
This world we've made
Playing what they've given me
Each day, each day
Until the end has rendered me
Just washed away
I'm open in my privacy
In every way
It's all but killing me
The price to pay
Two coins for utility
Two cents to hear me say
All the lies forbidding me
Saying that it's okay
Dust to dust and ash to ash
That old line
Life's a must, must to grab
Defeated sighs
...

Delectation
Hands, fully weighted on my chest
As I, stare up at perfection
How long I've been waiting for this
Long last, as I enter heaven
Squeeze me tight and hold my stronger
Longing for, gyrations longer
Strip away all my armor
Precious moans, of my songbird
Bowed beneath the Goddess
As she washes off my tarnish
With a taste, that's just the garnish
Before me and my tongue
My soul is what I'll give her
Thigh earmuffs begin to quiver
I can still hear pleasure whimper
Between the bell that's rung
As...
As I, stare up at perfection
How long I've been waiting for this
Long last, as I enter heaven
Squeeze me tight and hold my stronger

Bowed beneath the Goddess
As she washes off my tarnish

A Hootinanny
Barn owl perched in shadow calls
I stand in silhouette, listening to song
The mouse in the darkness dares not move
In different ways, we listen to tune
Bellows of it's voice and chest
Guarding the yard with it's presence
Perhaps we've both miss the moon
Perhaps the clouds be parted soon
A chance the dance of rain will fall
Beneath the screech the owl will call
In shadowed light against the barn
Silhouetted like it's song
I stand in silhouette, listening to song
The mouse in the darkness dares not move
In different ways, we listen to tune
Bellows of it's voice and chest
Guarding the yard with it's presence
Perhaps we've both miss the moon
Perhaps the clouds be parted soon
A chance the dance of rain will fall
Beneath the screech the owl will call
In shadowed light against the barn
Silhouetted like it's song

Motion of the Potion
Pewter dust and frog guts
Set inside an oaken husk
Set to flame in whispered name
Mixed with crushed up tusk
Consuming ward all but ignored
Beware the trap that snares
Painted protection tainted
Evil seeps from lair
Root plucked potion
Tears of ocean
An ibis plume to ward off doom
A frond mixed for good luck
Speckled shell from egg of duck
Inhale fumes to consume
Two rodent teeth
And blood from deep
If that wasn't enough
Breath from the depths
To complete the set
Served...

Whispers to the Moon
Whispers to the Moon
"I'll see you soon"
As we fall asleep
Unique
Of all my dreams
To stop and think
Don't want to miss a blink
Eclipse
Of our lips
Adorning skin
As I run my hand
Down across your body
As you honor me
Then back up again
Whispers into your ear
Teeth pressed upon the lobe
For this I know
Losing this embrace
Not in my name
My heart explodes
Explodes into the many words
I often cannot grasp
Key for the clasp
Locking those...

Blank Stares into Blank Spaces
It's been some time
Time in passing
Since I sat with time and my thoughts
Unsure why my eyes are open
Thoughts that create time lost
So many ideas
So much philosophy
So little action
Breaking the chains
Unlocking bonds
While nothing seems to happen
Trapped in
My own bubble
My own struggle
My own trouble
So many moves to make
Inaction in self helping
So many moves to take
That I lay down
It's overwhelming
With tired eyes
And bundled sighs
I...

Irrelevant Games
Your satan and god
Are one and the same
Reflections of your ignorance
Completely deranged
You're lost in the fog
Not knowing which way
Deflections of your existence
Are one in the same
Whole hearted
Cardiac on trial
Arresting the dial
The pain, it seems vital
Cold hearted
Defrost the vial
Black ice for miles
The type of blood on trial
Knowingly lost
With no one to blame
Quickly forgotten name
All washed away
Your satan and god
Conveniently blamed ...
