Poet Introduction
I'm just a cowboy. I've got some stories to tell and some scores to settle.

... Table for One - Rebirth and Redux
I went into the restaurant
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...

Dime Bag
Back in the day
That’s what we called it
Stopped doing that stuff long ago
Now just a beer
Some bourbon
A little trouble as I’m known to say
Drugs terms make good art
That’s what I do
Take what’s given
Tell a story
Painting a picture
Divine in morning light …

Sometimes I Daydream
I want to sleep next to you
Want to watch you breathe
Want to put my arm around you
I know I'll get hard
But
Ignore that
This is platonic
Unless it's not
And
We'll know if that happens...
Want to watch you breathe
Want to put my arm around you
I know I'll get hard
But
Ignore that
This is platonic
Unless it's not
And
We'll know if that happens...

We were both married so screwing was a no go ..
That lasted about 2 drinks
Then innocence took a back seat
City Life is a meat grinder
You can tenderize and flame
Some like her well done
I took her medium with luscious pink
Bukowski was at the table in the corner
Hunter S. Thompson too
Wasted in the smokey dark heat
Comparing poetry and fright
I was at home with Sha Sha
Lou Reed stopped by to say hello
She didn't say much
Her English was a vacancy
We communicated in shy glances
Touched each other in places...
Then innocence took a back seat
City Life is a meat grinder
You can tenderize and flame
Some like her well done
I took her medium with luscious pink
Bukowski was at the table in the corner
Hunter S. Thompson too
Wasted in the smokey dark heat
Comparing poetry and fright
I was at home with Sha Sha
Lou Reed stopped by to say hello
She didn't say much
Her English was a vacancy
We communicated in shy glances
Touched each other in places...

Art purpose
My family
Presented
4 all of us
Who feel like
Outsiders
Yeah
You know who you are
This is 4 you
Welcome to my madness
It’s my purpose
In stunning technicolor
Have a seat
Let me pour you a drink
Stay awhile….

Too much, not enough ?
When to say too much
When to say not enough
I always say too much
Except when I want to say
EVEN MORE
Like right now
When to say not enough
I always say too much
Except when I want to say
EVEN MORE
Like right now

Vulnerability and Hellfire
Sometimes
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you
