The Dark Side of Poetry
Undefeated Time
why can't I love you forever?
we seem too perfect
hooked on you like some drug abuser
but I don't need no illegal substance
no real interest in work, or politics
a kiss is all I crave
my eyes see only clear roads
but we know it has to end
I'm just asking, why?
these days of many laughs and smiles
nights of warmful hugs
can't imagine a time without them
maybe if I could plea to the Gods
tell them how special we are
perhaps if once they could hold their wrath
I'd pray everyday on my knees
I...

Loud American
I wish I could tell everyone I meet
everything that makes me special
how I wish I could convey my deepest thoughts
show how smart I think I am
don't want any secrets
want to put all my cards down
show them off to everybody who doubted me
don't want to gloat
just want to show
I am more than appearance
guess I can't find the right words to say
like a rat trapped in ah cage
I scream and claw at my surroundings
I'm the loud American
oh how I have loved
and how I have lost

Dangerous Beginnings
pushing the pedal to the metal
driving to the end of a 80s music video
just us being young and sexy
the world belongs to our youth
princess dancing on top of the hood of my car
body so smooth
unlike my moves
still I enter your mind
where I find one hell of a ride
I love those devils in your hazel eyes
they can all come along
all the way to hell if we must
we can play our favorite songs
doing things we shouldn't
disappointing our parents
trying to hold on to what senses I have left
but I'm way too hooked ...

I'm Over It.
I'm over it
yeah, I'm a responsible human
I get we have to buck up in these moments
but time moves by so fast
and I wish I could go outside
see what's leaving me behind
guess it's not ok to think that way anymore
doing the right thing is such a bore
I want to gather with my family
but that makes me an asshole now
my girl thinks I'm frustrated with her
but really I'm just sad
depressed with the situation
feeling everything is fucked up
what once was right is now wrong
it's not even cool to say fuck...

Desperado
I’m like a runaway child
(not looking towards tomorrow)
helpless, wealthless
(no need for anyone's approval)
fucked and being fucked
(not always gentle)
get it? get it?
maybe not…
but I’ll tell you one thing
I’ll always do my own thing
it takes a real man
to venture through unknown paths
traveling safe roads never interested me
I’ll be here carving out my own way
a way to my destruction
I feel the pull on the strings
the way the...

Man With Titties
you're afraid of a man with some titties
claiming that they'll dress like a girl
and cut off their balls
to perv on women in the restroom
seems a bit extreme to me
doing all that just to smell some ladies poop
this hate being spit
must be from the same people who claim religion
saying being gay is a sin
don't remember that in the 7 deadly
how about thou shalt not judge?
money and greed?
cheating on your wife with the secretary?
let's all pray through the knees
hallelujah to homophobia!
sorry, I'll try to...

Two-Piece
the sun is out and I'm feeling confident
watching the girls of summer walk by
but one stands out above the rest
you're looking too fine
two-piece wonder
I'm staring like a starved animal
nice day to party by the sand
watching as you down another long island
love that cute little woo
as the drink spills from your lips
slight splash on glistening melons
walking towards you with a strut
starting up a conversation
was for sure I'd jumble my words
yet the first line hits
then the next, and the next
till finally I...

No Country for Old Superman
there'll come a time
when superman will have to hang up his cape
all his friends would have long passed
other more younger super heroes will rise up
taking his place as the undisputed champion
not thinking much of their cocky attitudes
even though it reminds him of a younger self
it only confirms his greatest fear
becoming too fragile to fight like he used to
his relevance will quickly diminish
bored with his days he will pick up drinking
spending most nights alone
drunk in just his undies in an empty room ...

Leave the Politics at the Door
beautiful conversations
with beautiful souls
whenever we can leave politics at the door
funny how we can agree
on almost everything
when we turn off the news
we like the same foods
midnight barbeques
have the same work mentality
work hard play hard
till we're off and can down a cold one
willing to help anyone in need
with out any reason why
my friends aren't a substructure
left or right, blue or red
we laugh at the same jokes
Jim gets a little colorful with his humor
but his heart's in the right place ...
