Bleed out in the Love Ghetto
I didn't want to believe in our love
Because I knew it would go down in flames
You fought really hard for my commitment
Until I gave it to you, then you discarded me
Translation: You threw me out
But kept my heart, my bones on the roadside
Fresh kill
Bleed out in the love ghetto
The joke's on you though babe
I always come back
With scars but smarter
Next time just prostitutes
Transactions consummated
No fault love loss
Everyone wins, no tumors, no malignancy
Because I knew it would go down in flames
You fought really hard for my commitment
Until I gave it to you, then you discarded me
Translation: You threw me out
But kept my heart, my bones on the roadside
Fresh kill
Bleed out in the love ghetto
The joke's on you though babe
I always come back
With scars but smarter
Next time just prostitutes
Transactions consummated
No fault love loss
Everyone wins, no tumors, no malignancy

Beyond Love
That indescribable place
It has no name
When all the fear has been conquered
Remains the desire core
You've arrived
It has no name
When all the fear has been conquered
Remains the desire core
You've arrived

Linen
I love linen
It beholds all that summer is
Languid and humid
With a gentle breeze to cool

Manifesto
I like meat and potatoes
Cooked medium
It's bad for my prostate
Living dangerously
Bukowski worked at the post office
I sell stuff that's not sexy
Just necessary
Always the loner
Finding comfort in one on one encounters
Put me in a group and I drink too much
The guy slipping out the back, and not returning
Gave up corporate life
To go on the road in field sales
No car, no problem
Walk my territory like a cop on a beat
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
There is some truth in that
Sex drives me, whether I'm having it...

Flying Under the Radar
Flying under the radar
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await

Learning to Believe
Usually way down on myself
A brooder's brooder
Caught some light the other day
Almost blinded me

Gum xxx
Gave up chewing gum
For you
Is there any other testament you need ?

Found
Found a paper clip
On the tile floor in the bathroom
Seems an odd place
to do some collating

Cloudy Days, Melanoma, SPF 50
Everyone loves blue sky
Myself included
Except I love it most when 20 degrees
Wearing my bloke cap in the peak of winter
3 years ago this month
Got the diagnosis
Cancer, Melanoma, WTF ?
Surgery 2 days later, healing began
Grateful for the early stage
Wonderful doctors and plastic surgeon
Happy I could cover the scar with a beard
Happier to be alive
SPF 50
Hats, more hats, regular checkups
Cloudy days in summer
Saying no more

Dick Head Asshole
You're a dick head asshole
I wanted to be nicer about it
But I can't
So accept my scorn
Knowing I was honest with you
I feel a little bad though
I do consider myself a gentleman
So, I'm taking back the dick head part
You're just an asshole
I hope you can appreciate my sensitivity
I wanted to be nicer about it
But I can't
So accept my scorn
Knowing I was honest with you
I feel a little bad though
I do consider myself a gentleman
So, I'm taking back the dick head part
You're just an asshole
I hope you can appreciate my sensitivity

Summer Approaches
Heat
Confidence
As you walk askance
In an urban flow
Met you innocently
On the avenue of chance
A whirlwind and avalanche
Climaxing in love, sweet and complicated
Summer bakes in
Shedding skins
Aura and understanding
Complete our mystery
