Together
When I look
in your eyes
I can feel
your desire
a fleeting glimpse
of pleasure sought
no longer afraid
of getting caught
so hold me close
when I am near
whispering what
you want to hear
the language you speak
isn't in words
being with you
its own reward
As we travel
this road together
laughing and learning
round every curve
when we reach
the final stop
look in my eyes
I'll give you my heart
in your eyes
I can feel
your desire
a fleeting glimpse
of pleasure sought
no longer afraid
of getting caught
so hold me close
when I am near
whispering what
you want to hear
the language you speak
isn't in words
being with you
its own reward
As we travel
this road together
laughing and learning
round every curve
when we reach
the final stop
look in my eyes
I'll give you my heart

For Life
As I was driving
down the country road
the moon seemed to chase me
swiftly I drove
It came without warning
it came with haste
a blinding white spotlight
blazed in my face
Next thing I knew
it couldn't be
I was not where
I was supposed to be
A long way from home
alone in the trees
my car sitting idle
I feel ill at ease
How did I get here
where could I be
confusion and pain
coursing through me
Bruises and cuts
as if I were dragged
all over my body
feeling so drained
...

The Olden Gods
They came from above
on chariots of fire
intent on delivering
knowledge inspired
The spaceports were built
seen only from above
scratched from the soil
carved from the rock
We welcomed them openly
praised their light
built statues of tribute
studied the night
They gave us a goal
then shut us down
seems we were smarter
than they bargained for
When we reached out
and touched the sky
they confused our tounges
so we couldn't fly
They were afraid
of losing their place
aloft in the...

The Contract
A contract is a contract
a deed is a deed
for what I am paid
I must complete
that is the way
of life for me
I'll take care of your problem
for a fee
My parents are gone
can bring them no shame
won't leave a mark
on my family name
the family I serve
knows the life well
there is no turning back
the toll of the bell
Innocent victims
do bother me
at least for a while
till the drugs settle me
but it is false
this delaying of pain
at night I can see them
silently aking
"Why have you...

Sacrifice
Waking morning
clear my head
make me some bacon
brain must be fed
Here's to the hog
who gave me his all
a sacrifice for sure
a gift to us all
the aroma that wafts
through the air
hits all my senses
like a drug if I dare
Hog flesh and chicken embryos
a breakfast delight
just have to
start the day right
clear my head
make me some bacon
brain must be fed
Here's to the hog
who gave me his all
a sacrifice for sure
a gift to us all
the aroma that wafts
through the air
hits all my senses
like a drug if I dare
Hog flesh and chicken embryos
a breakfast delight
just have to
start the day right

Always reach out
There have been times
in my life
when thoughts became
active strife
not knowing when
enough is enough
carrying on
huff and puff
as I start
to reflect a bit
seems to me
I was a shit
as I have aged
a new person arose
replacing one
with one who knows
The difference between
some souls it seems
is greatly reduced
when kindness precludes
an understanding ear
o'er a glass of dark beer
can bring out a smile
that might last awhile
So before you insult
consider...

Never give in
Fleeting glimpse
of joyus times
reflections of
my souls eye
Coming forth
into the day
all that's been said
has slipped away
Forever on
an uncharted course
uncertainly travel
adventure is yours
Stop when you can
reflect upon needs
act out if your able
that's how our souls feed
sitting closely
with one that you love
nothing compares
fits like a glove
Going a bit farther
than you had planned to
might be just the thing
that you need to do
Never be afraid

Waking
Waking dreams
are so real
there is no other
way to feel
Standing at the
gates of Hell
then falling deep
into the veil
Down you go
it feels surreal
like Dali's image
makes you squeal
Melting watches
faces too
like a trip
you took in school
melting visions
merge into
spinning wheels
of warmer hues
Then the scene
begins to fade
you must now
start your day
are so real
there is no other
way to feel
Standing at the
gates of Hell
then falling deep
into the veil
Down you go
it feels surreal
like Dali's image
makes you squeal
Melting watches
faces too
like a trip
you took in school
melting visions
merge into
spinning wheels
of warmer hues
Then the scene
begins to fade
you must now
start your day

Two Years Ago Today
Two years ago today
I threw them away
it was really easier
than most people say
just a simple decision
then a little action
I found myself free
from a very bad addiction
I feel so much better
having a new direction
not stuck in the middle
feeling oh so little
to be a slave to anything
is really bad enough
but something that is that small
how can it be so tough
I see my friends and wife too
sucking in the fumes
filling them with poisons
killing them too soon
I know that freewill
is what we have
to...
