Mr. Right
Feeding her insecurities
With your roaming fingers and eyes
Constant subliminal shots to her psyche,
While she rests in your house of lies
“Please don’t string me along” she begs,
“If you are wondering what’s out there,
GO!!
Pack your bags, give me back my heart!
Damn it, be a man let me go and move on!!”
But you can’t walk away
From your most precious gift
Not until she submits to you
Not until you diminish her spirit!
You’ll never replenishing the radiance
You sucked from between her thighs

Kisses and I love you's
I’ve got nothing to say
There isn’t anything you can do
I don’t want you
To make this feeling to go away
So keep your kisses
and
I love you's
That venom you
vomited,
needs to soak through.
We both need to feel the sting
of the toxins you spewed
I am straining for air
There’s a tightening in my chest
Tears stain my cheeks
Constantly,
placing you before myself.
Even though this side of you is so
Conflicted, calloused and ornery
I know I will never get any
exoneration ...
There isn’t anything you can do
I don’t want you
To make this feeling to go away
So keep your kisses
and
I love you's
That venom you
vomited,
needs to soak through.
We both need to feel the sting
of the toxins you spewed
I am straining for air
There’s a tightening in my chest
Tears stain my cheeks
Constantly,
placing you before myself.
Even though this side of you is so
Conflicted, calloused and ornery
I know I will never get any

W.O.M.A.N.I.Z.E.R
W.eak minded neanderthal …you pray
O.n the psychologically and emotionally scarred
M.entally you fuck over them while fucking them
A.ntagonist praying on those who have been harmed
N.ot once thinking of the anguish you cause
I.dotic selfish ignorant bastard …you over
Z.ealous self centered prick
E.ver try thinking of someone other than yourself? nope
R.andomly destroying others for what?
…your own insecurity
you are a womanizer
O.n the psychologically and emotionally scarred
M.entally you fuck over them while fucking them
A.ntagonist praying on those who have been harmed

I’m curious
I’m Curious
How many understand every star in the sky
is a sun?
And that there are more stars in the sky
than sand on the earth
Think about that
And our sun is NOT the center of the
Milky Way
Left alone the
universe
I’m Curious
How many remember trees make oxygen?
And we need the rainforests to live?
How many know about the
Sea of trash
off the Pacific Coast
Slowly killing sea life
like were slowly killing
Mother Earth
Curious
How many would help a homeless woman
on...

Roam Free
Death,
She holds no fear over me
I am not afraid to let my energy
roam free
I delight in the idea
of returning
to the earth
Ashes to ashes
Returning my dust to
dust
Excited for my energy
my essences
my soul
Whatever you choose
to call it
Karmically,
I am free
I will not have to return
There will be no
reincarnation,
for the being that is me
Lessons of this lifetime learned
the next realm
awaits me
She holds no fear over me
I am not afraid to let my energy
roam free
I delight in the idea
of returning
to the earth
Ashes to ashes
Returning my dust to
dust
Excited for my energy
my essences
my soul
Whatever you choose
to call it
Karmically,
I am free
I will not have to return
There will be no
reincarnation,
for the being that is me
Lessons of this lifetime learned
the next realm
awaits me

...you... (in the key of Jimi)
I Pledge Allegiance
to this dread
wrapping my lips around
his third leg
As he masterfully strums this
Voodoo Child
Keeping me within his
Purple Haze
Slashing and plucking
my base
As I
Testify
Screaming out to an old
Isle Brother’s track
Strobe lights adding to the trip
flashes of us intertwined
Making my last
Wind Cry Mary
Gyrating seductively
Becoming your
Little Miss Strange
Ready to be
objectified
Longing to subjected to
Your pain
Can wait...

I want it all
It’s a lie to say
I don’t know what I want
I want it all
A dog, a cat, a snake and some fish
attached garage, skylights, and a
picket fence,
2.5 kids that I hope will one day will
lead to grandkids
Vacations romantic gestures,
concerts and tours,
All inclusive, room service
Lazy days with you
Spa days with my girls
I want for US
Financial security, don’t get me wrong
Not super rich,
Just want our bills paid
Without us having to worry
about it
Insatiably passionate love making ...

Some truth
Depression,
can engulf you,
She will gently stroke your face
Convince you you’re unhappy
Because you go to an empty home
alone everyday
She will tell you,
“It’s your world do what you want do!”
Until you lay there at night and realize
No one’s there…but you
She can make you forget about your job,
and about your life,
family and kids
Depression as a result of loneliness
we have all seen how those lives
end
Depression and loneliness,
Can make you take drugs
just to get...
