Time flies
Lovers make babies
I am still
Where time left me.
Lovers make babies

Twenty-six feels
Comfortable
To have this
Number
Slapped on
My back
Telling me
You, have got
Time
Time to settle
Time to rise
Time to run
In any direction
Decisions decisions
Sprout out
Like tentacles
I do feel safe
At this very moment
The wind is silent
Breathable air
Swaying in and out
To be young
To have time
I hope I know
What I am doing
Now.

Clarity clears
The fogged up lens
Wipes the grey cloud
Clouding my judgement
Too early to predict
If it will stay around
But I'm an optimist
Even though
It hasn't worked out
In the past
Plastered, with the rest
Of unfulfilled sets
Of goals to control
The consequences
Of the face of reality
That barges in
When the debt is not paid
But onward and outward
Like Whitman said
What else to do
What else to be
To keep the mind sane
And the spirit free.

Hell on wheels
Regret drowns thee
Resentment, fills the lungs
Rage tears the soul
Wrath draws blood.
Revenge, a sweet tooth
Consumes everything good
Burrows the bitterness
On unsuspecting victims.
From the inside out
Every cell diseased
Forgetting oneself
Rotting in pieces.
The cycle continues
Passed on to the next
A Bipedal fool
Picks it up and runs.
A silent pandemic
Watch out for the signs
So you won't be a part
Of the...

Mellow Yellow
Yellow-green pill
Keeps the empty filled
Puts the blue to sleep
Fire crackles with Erik Satíe
Playing Gymnopédíes
Face is numb
Eyes are low
Stench reeks the room
Haven't gone out in so long
I pass the time
To forget that time passes
It feels right for now
In these frail seconds.

It feels right for now

Blue Colors
Empty, I feel empty
No cars pass me by
The street light flickers
Right as it's about to die
Crickets chirp
To fill the word
Broken if said
Grass looks pale
Scorched by the sun
Leaves turn colors
Like an octopus
Survival season
The stars have dimmed
True north has exploded
Sugar is water on the tongue
No taste to awaken this soul
It roams the field to find gold.
No cars pass me by

Right as it's about to die
Crickets chirp

Scorched by the sun
Leaves turn colors
Like an octopus
Survival season
The stars have dimmed
True north has exploded
Sugar is water on the tongue
No taste to awaken this soul
It roams the field to find gold.

Who Knows
What could have been
Lingers, in the ether
Sparks we made
Could have roared
Fervent orange
With fire bellow
But
I splashed water on it
Buried it down under
With ashes from before
The coming days, may swerve
To make a goal, once missed
Who knows, who knows
What time, can put forth.

Who knows, who knows

Crystal Ball
I can see the march
Vapor is assembling
Forming a grey cloud
Thunder is erupting
It's a matter of time
Until matter is split
And all explode
And what will be left
Are Mushroom clouds
Blinding the sea
The air
The land
Blinding the mind
Until it sees in seconds.

Word Salad
At different times
Different faces
Preach hope
Predict change
Color blue
Color red
In the end
They all
The same
Different colors
Does not mean
Diverse
Actions
Speak louder
Than words
Tossed around
To sound
Pleasant.

Little Red Book
The movement of your lips
The phantom kiss, that lingers
I miss that the most
I don't feel it any more
Your finger tips
Caressing my hips
Under the roof of your car
Tucked away, somewhere far
Sitting in silence
Exchanging eye glances
Our presence colliding
Time didn't exist
Nothing else mattered
Shielded from the ozone
Our moments frozen
Cortex keeps it close
I miss how I made you feel
Showing off my tricks
Made you disappear
As I hid your skin
I miss...

Shielded from the ozone

Showing off my tricks
Made you disappear
As I hid your skin

21st Century Jungle
All around my neighborhood
Are Concrete boxes with a view
Decorated with trees and grasses
Protected with guards and fences
I see the movement of the leaves
Than movement of people
Dogs bark during the night
Hear people's chatter from time to time
Children playing on the pavement
Cars passing with a slow whoosh
Garbage collectors and Gardeners
The sound of airplanes and crickets
No friendly neighbors, just strange faces
Living in their own home world
With their problems and sufferings
With...

Fragile Beings
Death, is a shadow
Silent and dark
Patiently stalks
To take us
Apart
Stuck
To our feet
Chose
Not to see
Between our eyes
Air seeps
Red carries
Drum beats
Till abrupt freeze
Body drops
Soul ascends
Death moves
Inside the mind
Of next in line
Death becomes
What death is
Always onward
Always extending
Display
It's victims
Tombstones
As trophies
We...

Patiently stalks
