I remember it well
I was only fifteen
And though I’d seen so much death and destruction at a younger age
On that day
I didn’t know how else to cope with loss
Sam and I had been friends when we were kids
The last time I saw him I was nine
We said we would write to each other
But for some reason, we never did
From time to time I would wonder what happened to him
One tends to wonder if friends are swept off by the rage of civil war
As a casualty
Or joining the cause… (for whatever side)
But my memory of Sam seemed to...

Whenever I Look in Your Eyes
Every time I look in your eyes there’s a sensation I get
Ever since that first time we met
When I was instantly smitten by you
And with each verse I’ve written out to the universe
This feeling pours like a loud cloudburst
As the profound emotion seems to flow right through
I can compose you a thousand and one poems and prose
But each one of those will never come close
To bind and define the love that feels so intense
The passion will crescendo in a wave of chorus and chords
Bathing you in a plethora of stanzas and words
Trying to...

Four Seven (Poem # 1992)
Go ahead, put another candle on it
I think I can handle the weight of the years
I can feel the burn but this heart’s not done yet
Nothing a little antacid can help to put away the fears
Another year to read, recollect, reflect in retrospect
As time flies by faster than I can try to master an art
But I’m thankful for good health cept some new side effects
The aches and pains of aging are going up the chart
I keep adding chapters to this book of memories
It’s an inventory of hoary storied allegories and allusions
They’re etched in...

Blunt Farce Drama
(An Editorial Piece with Walter’s Alter Ego)
====~
Thank you Wally,
I just took a hit and that shit made me hella mellow…
Oh hello!
Tonight, we will be discussing the weed industry
And why we need to understand the bigotry
That’s been set in place by the system
Many of you may be familiar with the legalization of marijuana
In many different states
But I’m gonna make an observation that feels more like farce than drama
That may open the floodgates for debate
Over the years many dudes, homies and brothers ...

Saying Goodbye
It’s never easy
A flood of memories rush
Images of smiles
The recollection of your laughter
Blanketed with warmth
Today filled in sadness
We paid our respects
We said our farewells
With sincere and kindhearted thank you’s
For everything you did
And for the loving person you were
My heart went out to your family
Especially to your little girls
I teared up when my boys
Placed sunflowers on your casket
Watching the other children
All those you cared for
Now grown
Saying their goodbyes
A flood of memories rush
Images of smiles
The recollection of your laughter
Blanketed with warmth
Today filled in sadness
We paid our respects
We said our farewells
With sincere and kindhearted thank you’s
For everything you did
And for the loving person you were
My heart went out to your family
Especially to your little girls
I teared up when my boys
Placed sunflowers on your casket
Watching the other children
All those you cared for
Now grown
Saying their goodbyes

Nineteen 92
Three decades have almost passed by
And the distant memories still remain
All the shenanigans my friends and I
Got away with now seem a bit harebrained
Most of us band kids were kind of loud
Even though we represented the school
But some of us were a rowdy crowd
And a couple of us could act like a fools
We were smart but sometimes boneheads
And yet that time when “Gonzo”, “Hairy” and I
Started a car chase and raced some dudes
That somehow turned into a near drive-by
Not sure what the statute of...

Letters Better Left Unsent
I – to my father
I don’t know if I should blame you for leaving,
But you had wounds that never healed,
And after you told me about your father,
I now begin to understand how you feel.
Yet I can’t sympathize with your addiction,
Duty and responsibility is for family first,
And even though you’re at death’s door,
You chose your habit as if you were cursed.
Maybe in your death throes you’ll see the light,
Love lost and found is more than just dumb luck,
Honestly, I said goodbye to you a while ago,
But if you don’t care, why should we...

Can't Rhyme?
Can’t rhyme?
I’ll try my best
I must resist the urge
I have to stop myself somehow
For now
Damn it! This is really tricky!
Gotta obey the rules
At least this time
I tried
I’ll try my best

In His Beloved's Arms
There was black ice on the bridge
And the night was dark and cold
But he couldn’t wait to see her
Driving all night was brave and bold
He parked his car across the street
Then softly knocked on her door
But it seemed like no one was home
So he sat disheartened on the floor
He decided to go back to the car
But to his luck the car was stolen
So he decided to take long walk
Until his feet hurt and were swollen
He came upon an old shabby motel
But the lobby was vacant and empty
No one answered the desk bell ...
And the night was dark and cold
But he couldn’t wait to see her
Driving all night was brave and bold
He parked his car across the street
Then softly knocked on her door
But it seemed like no one was home
So he sat disheartened on the floor
He decided to go back to the car
But to his luck the car was stolen
So he decided to take long walk
Until his feet hurt and were swollen
He came upon an old shabby motel
But the lobby was vacant and empty
No one answered the desk bell ...

Still in Progress
Sensitive and caring
Perhaps a little daring
But mostly a nice guy who gives a damn
A motivated creative idealist
A funny, logical yet twisted surrealist
Is who I am
Perhaps a little daring
But mostly a nice guy who gives a damn
A motivated creative idealist
A funny, logical yet twisted surrealist
Is who I am
