Stargazers in Awe
There is a nostalgia in her eyes
Like a memory of million heartbeats echoing through time
A story untold through a near glassy glacial glance
Cold and warm all at once
Reaching out in the night
In the vast expanse there is a sigh
It’s as if there is a secret from the universe wanting to escape
You can almost imagine it as it treks along
Leaving a trail of soft and slow breaths
Leaving stargazers in awe
It becomes kind of like a recollection
Of lovers
Of friends
Maybe even strangers that crossed paths ...
Like a memory of million heartbeats echoing through time
A story untold through a near glassy glacial glance
Cold and warm all at once
Reaching out in the night
In the vast expanse there is a sigh
It’s as if there is a secret from the universe wanting to escape
You can almost imagine it as it treks along
Leaving a trail of soft and slow breaths
Leaving stargazers in awe
It becomes kind of like a recollection
Of lovers
Of friends
Maybe even strangers that crossed paths ...

Last Comp
I wasn’t sure how far the group would get that day
But I wanted to tell you, savor this moment
This may be the last time you’re all together
But I stood there quiet watching you rehearse
I observed the entire battery from the sidelines
And the way you interacted with everyone else
I bet that drum was heavy but you looked ready
This would be the last competition of the season
Then when you and the band took the field
I was cheering you on, smiling with glassy eyes
You dedicated yourself to this new activity
You had become a new...
But I wanted to tell you, savor this moment
This may be the last time you’re all together
But I stood there quiet watching you rehearse
I observed the entire battery from the sidelines
And the way you interacted with everyone else
I bet that drum was heavy but you looked ready
This would be the last competition of the season

Halloweeners
He went to costume party for Halloween
Dressed like Disco Stu to dance and be seen
When over by the drinks and food he saw the girl for his dreams
She was dressed as a sexy ghoul
Making all the guys at party drool
While she was stuffing her face with some tasty franks and beans
He boogied to the music down her way
Grooving to the beat with swag to prey
She was cutie with booty and tonight he was going to take a chance
Then he saw she had some ginormous bewbs
While the dudes there just looked confused
Stu was the first...

8th and La Brea
I stood a few hundred yards down the block
Looking at the old Firestone sign
The tire station has been turned into a modern and hip brewery
But I could hardly recognize everything else around
Another block north
The old building on Wilshire
With its Art Deco facade still stands taller than newer lofts around it
The Asahi sign at the very top has been gone for years
And the Samsung sign that replaced it
Gone too
It still bares it’s mark
I remember driving down the boulevard
Looking at the bright lights at night ...

Run, Into the Morning Light
Run all day
Run all night
Run until you’re out of sight
Death is trying to catch you
So run until the break of dawn
And into the morning light
Enemy ahead
Enemy behind
Surrounded by their wrath
Though their bombs have fallen
If you want to break away
Be astute and find the right path
Amidst the rubble
Amidst the ruins
You’ll find a way to be free
The road will be so rough
But don’t ever lose faith
And you’ll fulfill your destiny
Search high
Search low
Give everything you have...
Run all night
Run until you’re out of sight
Death is trying to catch you
So run until the break of dawn
And into the morning light
Enemy ahead

Surrounded by their wrath
Though their bombs have fallen
If you want to break away
Be astute and find the right path
Amidst the rubble
Amidst the ruins
You’ll find a way to be free
The road will be so rough
But don’t ever lose faith
And you’ll fulfill your destiny
Search high
Search low
Give everything you have...

Run Out of Sight
As I entered the abandoned asylum
A couple of their dogs sniffed me out
I was captured this time by an enemy
Who would surely end my life without a doubt
But they brought me back to the same room
It was full of men in body armor and high tech gear
They spoke a language I didn’t know or understand
Until I heard someone clearly say “he’s here”
The lifeless body I had seen came back to life
The bloodied man was awake, but he didn’t move
While on the floor he gave order to his officers
Laying still under a blanket no one would...

Run All Night
I ran, and ran until I couldn’t run any more
Until I got to foothills that lead to a mountain pass
From there I could see the city had been bombarded
And some areas had been taken out by a blast
At dusk I saw a drone flying high above me
Against the darkening sky and a crescent moon
Suddenly I heard noises and hid by some brushes
But within minutes I was surrounded by a platoon
I was captured but upon seeing my wounds they halted
One of the markings on my neck meant it was some rank
They re-bandaged me and brought to one...
