Poet Introduction
I hope each of my poems will provoke thought and inspire positivity in some small way. Sometimes you have to take a step back before you can move forward in life.

Signs of the Times
Like a magician, I disappear before your eyes
My disguise underlies just a glimpse of burning fires
No one looks behind the curtain - no one sees behind the scenes
And I feel like ashes scattered to the seven seas
Everyone seems distracted and self absorbed
Everyone jumps ship - I'm left stranded aboard
I struggle to survive so I dive into history
Where great minds philosophize life's greater mysteries
The current doesn't pull me under it makes me swim deeper
Searching for a purpose beneath the surface of the superficial
A surface...
My disguise underlies just a glimpse of burning fires

And I feel like ashes scattered to the seven seas

I struggle to survive so I dive into history
Where great minds philosophize life's greater mysteries
The current doesn't pull me under it makes me swim deeper
Searching for a purpose beneath the surface of the superficial

Comatose Culture
A fractured society exemplifies
The cost of life unsimplified
The price of envy - greed and strife
Paid in full - paved with lies
Neglected sense of self ensures
The disconnect - the world's allure
To pacify the thinking mind
Violence, drugs, lust, and vice
Only a fool can see the truth
Comatose has taken root
Obey, conform, submit, consume
Loyalty to the servitude
From cradle to grave we imprint the culture
But nothing is as it presents
Preying on our decay like vultures
Thriving on man's ignorant...

Stolen Breath
Have you
Ever cried beneath the moon
The only light that welcomes you
In the dark
And cold
Have you
Ever been alone
No matter where you go
You're a ghost
The hand
That used to hold the cards
Now worn and battle-scarred
Only folds
Grasping for
The ones who gave you joy
Descended through the floors
Of heaven
Gasping for
That stolen breath of life
Gone before their time
It still chokes
Mine
Ever cried beneath the moon
The only light that welcomes you
In the dark
And cold
Have you
Ever been alone
No matter where you go
You're a ghost
The hand
That used to hold the cards
Now worn and battle-scarred
Only folds
Grasping for
The ones who gave you joy
Descended through the floors
Of heaven
Gasping for
That stolen breath of life
Gone before their time
It still chokes
Mine

Flushed from Existence
Cremate me when I die and flush my ashes down the toilet bowl
I'll be right at home - scattered remains in a world of shit and cyclones
If I find a way I'll, no doubt, be coming back to cause trouble
"Rest in Peace" etched on my headstone - best friends with bleach and Scrubbing Bubbles
Won't be the next Casper - my spirit too vindictive
Poltergeist in the septic tank giving no rest to the wicked
Ghastly bastard of the alabaster and chrome
You've heard of haunted porcelain dolls but never a haunted porcelain throne
I'll be right at home - scattered remains in a world of shit and cyclones
If I find a way I'll, no doubt, be coming back to cause trouble
"Rest in Peace" etched on my headstone - best friends with bleach and Scrubbing Bubbles
Won't be the next Casper - my spirit too vindictive
Poltergeist in the septic tank giving no rest to the wicked
Ghastly bastard of the alabaster and chrome
You've heard of haunted porcelain dolls but never a haunted porcelain throne

Mindstorm
Lightning splits the darkened calm
Thunder roars in mourning
Another sleepless night becomes
Another restless morning
The weather outside my window is pleasant
Nature does not disturb my slumber
But in my mind a storm is raging
No signs that it may soon pass over
Thunder roars in mourning
Another sleepless night becomes
Another restless morning
The weather outside my window is pleasant
Nature does not disturb my slumber
But in my mind a storm is raging
No signs that it may soon pass over

Social Simulation
I survived another day in the matrix
A three-dimension prison for the minds of the servants
Material conquest chokes the life from the conscious
When objects hold more weight than personal content
Another day passes in the simulation
Inspiration that used to surface now sinks in a saturation
Of devices that divide us and distract a generation
Sold on a lie cleverly disguised by its presentation
Silicon and circuits that circumvent our deepest needs
But we pay the price to be gratified immediately and it isn't cheap
