A Not So Pleasant Experience
When a carnival comes to town
Cotton candy, makeup for the clowns
Don’t eat before a ride
Puking, people should hide
Always drink plenty of water.

Paradise
I find tranquility upon the stones
Quiet memories through the departed
History comes alive in a graveyard
Birds find sanctuary among the tombs
Faded epitaphs from centuries back
Wild vines wrapped around crypts long ago
People need to respect one another
Loneliness on earth will follow you down.
Quiet memories through the departed
History comes alive in a graveyard
Birds find sanctuary among the tombs
Faded epitaphs from centuries back
Wild vines wrapped around crypts long ago
People need to respect one another
Loneliness on earth will follow you down.

August
Stifling August weather heat
Never enjoyed this time of year
Practically naked, from my head to my feet
Stifling August weather heat
Ice Cream, Sorbet, or some other refreshing treat
Lifestyle dominated by oppressive thoughts
Stifling August weather heat
Never enjoyed this time of year.

Fast Food Frenzy
A woman walks into a McDonald's
Couldn’t be no more then 25
Acting unbalanced & psychotic
She ordered a large shake & a small fry
She began preaching out loud
Lecturing to all that would listen
The Whopper outranks the Big Mac
Can everyone understand my vision?
Workers are yelling at her
Trying to calm her down
While preaching, she had a gun
She insisted for everyone to get to the ground
While her back was facing the counter
The manager who was no more then 36
Thought if he sneaked up behind her ...

Tomorrow's Forever
A man and woman fall deeply in love
nothing else truly matters
strolling together through life, hands entwined
through respect for one another’s hopes and desires
Two lives combine, creating a connected One
sharing struggles, while holding onto the good
forging loving memories along the way
provided a chance to do it again, for sure we would
Our yesterdays and today's will always be tethered
we are meant to always be together
we stand eternally side by side
tomorrow our love will remain bonded forever
nothing else truly matters
strolling together through life, hands entwined
through respect for one another’s hopes and desires
Two lives combine, creating a connected One
sharing struggles, while holding onto the good
forging loving memories along the way
provided a chance to do it again, for sure we would
Our yesterdays and today's will always be tethered
we are meant to always be together
we stand eternally side by side
tomorrow our love will remain bonded forever

Dark Lonely Room
The two of us stared into the mirror
We were naked
All of our thoughts disappeared
Just the two of us with one idea
We arrived here unscathed
A place where many have spent hours
It wasn't the cleanest or most attractive
The decor was cheap & outdated
Wallpaper peeling
A bathroom infested with mold & mildew around the tub
The sink had no hot water
We didn’t care
2 hours was the amount of time we had
We planned this for a week now
Our insignificant others don’t know about us
She’s most beautiful when...

Muted
Words fail miserably
Silent treatment more abstruse
Cryptic thoughts exposed.

Assassin
I ‘am the assassin
A contract killing tonight
Be aware of mysterious eyes
Watching you in plain sight.
Unsettling thoughts creep in
You can run but you can’t hide
Surrounded by dark alley ways
Turn around, take a look behind.
Police can’t help
No proof someone is out to get you
Protect yourself somehow someway
Racing thoughts of someone I knew.
It might possibly have been my ex
Or maybe the company I embezzled.
Too many to really know
This is going to the next level.
I feel safer now ...
A contract killing tonight

No proof someone is out to get you

DMV
A man just recently had his license reinstated. He failed to pay child support for his 7 year old kid. He needed to go to the DMV and get everything back on track. The man was approached by a bum asking him for some money. The man raised his voice saying, "ASSHOLE!, GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!" The bum said in a drunken slurred voice, "Come on guy don't be like this. Where are your manners." The man punched the bum directly in the mouth. The bum fell to the ground. Before anyone could stop this assault, the man then kicked him in the head and between his legs twice. The...

Long Ago
The dark castle in the deep forest
A princess is resurrected
During the second birth
The last battle of possession
Cosmic keys to the creation of earth.
A princess is resurrected
