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?

The cost of friendship is a twelve pac of mac & cheese

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
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 ...

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
But feels only the warmth of brimstone embers ...

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 like...

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...

Then she will fulfill my hungry need to devour her quite passionately

Across Infinity
Being fearless doesn't make me brave
Sometimes it makes me foolish
Sculpting my heart into regret's slave
For fear of all I can't let go
Of secrets I want no one to know
I live my lonely destiny
In hope of achieving unity
With a soul that reflects my own
Undivided in our divinty
Worshipping the love
Known only to souls in harmony
Who rhyme to the beat of poetry
Somewhere a poetess yearns as I
Lifting up together we paint the empty sky
While the shadow of our eternal verse
Creates ripples of gravity across the...

Vampire
Dark Shadows swirl beneath my wings
Engulfing my heart in eternal misery
My disease makes me thirst unquenchably
For the warmth of hot blood only love can bring
As I infect all that I touch with my infernal curse
While the internal conflict cannot be quelled
Without damning another to the same cursed fate
In infinite imprisonment of self-exiling seclusion
Concealing my undead life in an unmarked tomb
Forever bound by the shackles of loneliness
Within Pandora's box sealed with imaginary locks
Hiding in a wooden casket safely tucked away ...
Engulfing my heart in eternal misery
My disease makes me thirst unquenchably

In infinite imprisonment of self-exiling seclusion
Concealing my undead life in an unmarked tomb

Heartless Beat
An illness has infected the Whitehouse oval orifice
Spewing oral feces from the shithole on his face
His shithead full of shit with shit for brains between his ears
This sickness is spreading in the wild and twitersfear
Across the inter-nervous system of the nation
It's heartbeat beating frantically to pass the pandemic
Of racism racing through the arteries of Americans
Valiantly coursing through the veins of vanity

Aware of the Air
Her story was such a gripping page turner
Sitting across the dinner table from her
By the fireside while eating a delicious steak
With a side of pasta covered in alfredo sauce
A glass of wine breathes at my finger tips
When I see a look of desire sparkle in her eye
Suddenly she lights up a cigarette clouding the air
Draws it in deeply and my night goes up in smoke
As she exhales the disgusting exhaust in my face
Right in the middle of two juicy steak meals
She decides she needs to suck death into her lungs
And then share it...
