Alone in Life and Death
Oh sweet flower that blooms beneath my tickled nose
Whose scent fills my head with the pollen of desire
If I were a younger man I would seek comfort in your eyes
To beat hearts with you under the hot summer sun
Would be nirvana and an expression of selfishness
Even if the distance between us was not so great in miles and years
I could not ask you to love one so old and broken as I
For I am destined to live my fading days drifting in the mist of loneliness
No woman would desire the touch of a man who cannot satisfy her yearning
To be made love to,...

Bleed on Me
You're drifting soul is a sparkling rainbow
A radiating tapestry covering me in colors
In drops of virgin blood that will never know the glow
Your warm shower sprays upon my heart's desire
I can feel your heartbeat beneath the thunderstorm
As the thunderous lightning you strike me with
Quickly burns away the darkness where I live
Blazing your spectrum across my empty darkened sky
As the peaceful borealis radiating from your aura
Echoes through the prism of my hollow pulsing orb
A crescendo rises with tremolo undertones
Filling...
A radiating tapestry covering me in colors
In drops of virgin blood that will never know the glow
Your warm shower sprays upon my heart's desire
I can feel your heartbeat beneath the thunderstorm
As the thunderous lightning you strike me with
Quickly burns away the darkness where I live
Blazing your spectrum across my empty darkened sky
As the peaceful borealis radiating from your aura
Echoes through the prism of my hollow pulsing orb

Again and Again and a Gun
Been twelve years since I roamed the school hallways
The same old corridors where I once walked as a student
Many years before I was a Teacher's Aide
Before I was a hall monitor and police dogs sniffed
As cops led them past the lockers lining the walls
While the school was placed on lock-down
Hunting for drugs and weapons of anti-education
And every time another school echoes with gunfire
I wonder where the education failed
Not the lessons they got in school, those they didn't get at home
Where were the parents who failed to teach their...
The same old corridors where I once walked as a student

And every time another school echoes with gunfire

What's a friendship worth after 30 years
Compared to the eternity our parents have together?
Do they look down on you while looking down at us?
What do you suppose they say, knowing I saved your home
From forclosure with the money my mother left for me?
We knew each others parents; do they know each othr now?
The cost of friendship is a twelve pac of mac & cheese
Not exactly equivalent to making sure your family had a home
House payments and taxes became my burden for caring about yours
Yet now the sound of silense is all I ever hear from you
Compared to the eternity our parents have together?
Do they look down on you while looking down at us?
What do you suppose they say, knowing I saved your home
From forclosure with the money my mother left for me?
We knew each others parents; do they know each othr now?
The cost of friendship is a twelve pac of mac & cheese
Not exactly equivalent to making sure your family had a home
House payments and taxes became my burden for caring about yours
Yet now the sound of silense is all I ever hear from you

Rose Tinted Imagery
When I was small I painted everything in red
Her hair was so much lovelier when I imagined her shadow glowed
In shades from pink to rust that I created in my head
I couldn't see reality no matter how deep her darkness flowed
As I grew older morning's red skies cast no early warnings
Oblivious to the omens as she shed pink petals along my path
I was fearless in my fiercness in spite of relentless thornings
I followed her rosey scent as she lured me to face her bloody wrath
Dipped like a strawberry in melted chocolate cream ...
Her hair was so much lovelier when I imagined her shadow glowed
In shades from pink to rust that I created in my head

As I grew older morning's red skies cast no early warnings
Oblivious to the omens as she shed pink petals along my path
I was fearless in my fiercness in spite of relentless thornings

Dreams Deferred
The frustration I feel clawing at my heart
Knowing I will never be the person I was meant to be
Time is running out and the abyss is creeping up on my soul
Lament smothers all desire to give breath to this poetry
Mayhap it will die silently along with whatever is left of me
After all the shoulda, woulda, couldas are finally buried
In the cemetery of long forgotten verse no one cared to read
Where all memory of me will be laid to rest in peace
As my cold reflection reaches out for Heaven
But feels only the warmth of brimstone embers ...
Knowing I will never be the person I was meant to be
Time is running out and the abyss is creeping up on my soul
Lament smothers all desire to give breath to this poetry
Mayhap it will die silently along with whatever is left of me
After all the shoulda, woulda, couldas are finally buried
In the cemetery of long forgotten verse no one cared to read
Where all memory of me will be laid to rest in peace
As my cold reflection reaches out for Heaven

I Can't Survive 55
Going down hill with a pair of burned out breaks
Another flat tire won't help my confidence inflate
After all this time I guess I'm lucky I'm alive
But after last years disaster, How can I survive fifty-five?
Midnight confessions can't absolve me of my sins
My voodoo doll's impaled by fifty-five rusty pins
Nearly out of gas coasting downhill way too fast
With a sharp corner at the bottom this ride ain't gonna last
If only I could jump off into a pile of fresh mowed grass
Looks...

opposites detract
Where there is hope, fear and dread sing somber songs
Where there is love there is a lonely heart that longs
Where there are eyes there are blackened veils
Where there are trains there are no rails
Where there is wind there is a wall
Where there is water, a damn to break its fall
Where there is sky there is blue to contain the hue
Where there is me, I am confounded by you
Where there is love there is a lonely heart that longs
Where there are eyes there are blackened veils
Where there are trains there are no rails
Where there is wind there is a wall
Where there is water, a damn to break its fall
Where there is sky there is blue to contain the hue
Where there is me, I am confounded by you

Red Blazes Within My Sphere of Infinity
What sparks desire in old cold hearts set afire?
If regrets were trees my mind would be a burning forest
Charred green aglow, withering in an eternal flame
If love was a flower my heart would be a blooming garden
Thirsting for rain and hungry for sunrays to enlighten life
Yet instead red embers crackle in the cracks of a memory
Long forgotten from a naively innocent youth
When the touch of another was soft and pure like rain drops
Splashing upon the petals in Eve's delicate pink garden
The images flash like summer bulbs sprouting tulips
When...

Dark Shadows
My wings carry me to her open window beneath the glowing moon
As full as the sky casting my shadow across her flowing curtains
I ride the breeze between them entering her inviting room
The scent of her warm flow entices my thirst to take her innocence
To enslave her body with my eternal curse as I drain her mortal will
And she will, oh yes she will look so deeply in my fiery eyes
Then she will fulfill my hungry need to devour her quite passionately
The kiss I place upon her neck makes her shiver in burning ecstasy
Carnally carnivorous my desire...
As full as the sky casting my shadow across her flowing curtains
I ride the breeze between them entering her inviting room
The scent of her warm flow entices my thirst to take her innocence
To enslave her body with my eternal curse as I drain her mortal will
And she will, oh yes she will look so deeply in my fiery eyes
Then she will fulfill my hungry need to devour her quite passionately
The kiss I place upon her neck makes her shiver in burning ecstasy
