Addicted to Mayhem
Every time I see unfair rule and law
I want to express myself on city walls
Be a ghost, a host addicted to mayhem
But with galls bigger than mother fucKing Kong’s balls
I wouldn't give a damn and just bash and slam
Every verse be an explosion meant to vent
Rallying the masses to give them a voice
A middle finger in the air saying “fuck the government”
And once the crowds are compiled and riled
I’d light the fuse by taking to social media
Revealing every politician’s dirty little secret
People would get so pissed off it’d feel...

30 Years
Every once in a while I wake up in a panic
“I haven’t finished my English paper and it’s due today!”
“I didn’t tape my drumsticks and it’s competition day!”
Only to realize damn! it’s been three decades
From that small dread comes a sigh of relief
I’m forty-eight years old
With more and more aches in my bones
But also with some nostalgia
The time seems to have gone by so fast
I look at the old year-book and wonder
What happened him?
Or her?
Rest peace here
I wonder what transpired there
After graduation this...

Under the Pale Moon Light
She dances naked under the pale moon light
Around the fire invoking energy from the night
And as the flames sway she prays with quite delight
The bright embers seem like dreams that take flight
And while the cinders fly off into the night air
Her body moves to the lively rhythm of the flame
Her fair skin glows along with her red flowing hair
Like fiery cascades - picture perfect in every frame
She raises her hands upward with a joyous grin
Then tilts her head upward looking up at the moon
The cool breeze caresses every inch of...

Like fiery cascades - picture perfect in every frame

If Only
If only love was true to life like a story in the pages of a novel
How many of us would have stood the test of time?
Which of us would still hold on to a dream
Even as innocence is lost
Hoping against hope
When the cards we’re dealt are not the ones we want
If only our devotion to a childhood love was like the chapters of a book
Would our story be as good
No –
As Great
As we come of age
Committed in the heart of hearts
Even when misfortunes set us back
They shaped us and helped us grow
If...

Gasoline Rainbows
Not everything that looks beautiful is charming
Some things are deadly when they appear to be picturesque
For in between what is natural and man made
There is a layer where our nature has become grotesque
With every mistake comes a consequence
But if we don’t learn from them then we seem to go in reverse
Because in tragedy some of us find artistry
When a verse is spilled for a universe killed it’s kind of perverse
When the hell will we learn? When it all burns?
Will it consume us in a baptism of polluted waters and fires?
How can...

March to the Scaffold
Stoic
I march to the beat of my own drum
To my own execution
For the everything that I have done
I march to the beat of my own drum
To my own execution
For the everything that I have done

Comfort
In a range of colors as far as my I can see
The carotene seems to be filled with light energy
Because somewhere in between this red and yellow
I always found that this hue was kind of mellow
Perhaps it was because I had a special blankie
Otherwise I’d wake up feeling kind of cranky
Although the color had faded over the years
To me it felt as bright and fresh with cheer
I was eight and there was just something about it
I remember never really going to sleep without it
It reminded me of my family in younger days
Like bright...

Vacation is All I Ever...
I got an extra five hundred in my account
The wife and I are going a little on vacation
We’re going to drive up the scenic coastline
Just a little getaway from our regular vocations
We plan to make stops at shops and diners
For some quality alone time - together
We’re going to eat good food and libations
Enjoying the great California summer weather
We load up the car and start driving up the coast
Feeling the sea breeze as the music is bumpin’
Singing the lyrics to songs we’ve always loved
With hands out the windows...

Take # 48
This is take number 48
So place another candle on the cake
I'll hurry because the flames might set the set on fire
For heaven sake don’t make ‘em wait
The time is passing at a faster rate
With a quick blow I’ll wish for that which I desire
And that’s to balance my Gemini
Because he and I don’t look eye to eye
It’s a reflection in the mirror with a peculiar trait
The weight of the years are amplified
As time flies by it leaves me wide eyed
Something is tearing from me making an escape
I know that I’m not losing...

First Days
16th, August, 2018
These are the days when we’re wondering,
Pondering where all that precious time went,
Marveling at our children growing up so fast,
Remembering how that valuable time was spent.
It’s in their smiles,
Their faces,
Their graces
Their styles,
The way their features changed slowly over time,
Each little memory,
A scene,
A dream,
A reverie,
Each one a recollection, it’s embedded in my mind.
It’s in these first days when I stop to celebrate,
The spot that marks...
