The Wally Sticks
Sit back, kick back, I will tell you a story in rhyme,
‘Bout Wallyroo Ninety-Two in his prime time,
So we’ll travel back to nineteen eighty nine,
When he was just fifteen and joined the drumline.
Earlier Wally had been a “sucky" drummer,
Could not keep up the beat, it was a bummer
But over the summer he practiced real hard,
And once in high school he got his calling card.
He leaned to read music and how to play notes,
A skinny nerd who'd never been able to gloat,
He still sucked but he was getting much better,
For one day he...

Sayonara
(A Postcard from Aokigahara)
I can feel the panic setting in,
My mechanical heart beat is going faster,
Drowning in a sea of greenery I am trying,
Dying slowly after the wicked laughter.
I am lost amid the cypress and red pines,
Some of the branches have become loose,
Calling me, telling me to hang in there,
As if ghosts have prepared me a noose.
I can feel it deep in the pit of my stomach,
This is the place where my fear will disappear,
The phantom voices will finally go silent,
My fading breath is the only thing I...

Yesterday and Today
Sometimes I yearn for the good things about yesterday,
Mostly the fun and happy times from my youth,
But truth to be told days of yore and the sorrows I bore,
Made me who I am today.
Maybe it’s because as the yuletide season is approaching,
I get nostalgic for all the yardage I’ve gained,
Because in the path I yaw I look back and see my flaws,
I ponder just a little more.
It’s like a yellow brick road which diverted over yonder
Into the hills and distant fields I often wandered,
The silhouettes of my younger self,
Are still dreaming of...
Mostly the fun and happy times from my youth,

Because in the path I yaw I look back and see my flaws,

Into the hills and distant fields I often wandered,

New Age Alchemist
Although he was a sailor in the old xebec ship La Gracia,
He saw himself as somewhat of a new age alchemist,
Mixing xanthene and xylene and different other elements,
Always determined to be something of a catalyst.
One time they thought he would set the ship on fire,
When the xenon in his room began to shine bright blue,
But the alchemist in his xaverian haircut assured them,
It was just a chemical reaction that made a beautiful hue.
So then the captain of the ship called him to his quarters,
Asking him if he’d work on other less dangerous tasks, ...

A Song of Harmony
The air up here is thinner,
Cleaner,
And the views are quite amazing,
Almost mystic,
As you walk through the forest,
The trees are simply beautiful,
And majestic.
Amidst the crowds of visitors taking photographs,
There is something different in the atmosphere,
Here the giants keep secrets,
Ancient wisdom of the ages,
Knowledge of Mother Earth.
The trails are filled with people,
From different parts of the world,
And yet the giants stand there quietly,
Their leaves swaying,
Whispering,
Curious of...

A Little Suspicious
Come pick up the boys at the my local church”
The baby sitter texted me right before I left work,
It was near so I did a quick Google search,
I didn’t have to drive in traffic so it was a nice perk.
But when I got to the parking lot it was for naught,
Nobody was there, except for a lady and a cop,
I drove by with windows rolled down (it was hot!)
Until I realized I had driven to the wrong spot.
“That’s another church a mile away with a similar name”
She said in her next text still waiting for me,
So I peeled out of there now...

Hunger
The night is calling to satiate these strange hunger pangs,
It’s nearly a full a moon and I’ve grown newfangled fangs.
It’s nearly a full a moon and I’ve grown newfangled fangs.

The Monster's Face
The monster’s face is becoming clearer,
When I realize I’m looking in the mirror.
When I realize I’m looking in the mirror.

For an Old Mended Soul
Everyday I remind myself,
I am wanted,
I am needed,
I am loved,
I learn to forgive myself for old transgressions,
Knowing I can’t change the past,
But moving forward
I can maneuver in the right direction.
Absolving myself is an integral part,
It’s vital to the soul and heart,
Because without mercy there’s no telling
What depression can do…
I am wanted,
I am needed,
I am loved,
I do good things for family and friends,
I am respected, ...

SOBOL
LEON and NOEL, were twins but opposite of each other
Like looking into a mirror, what they SAW WAS in reverse
One would be a DIVA while the other an AVID reader
Switching personalities completely in the traverse
Some days one would shy away and act like a LEPER
With the utmost discord that no one could ever REPEL
A MOOD filled with an everlasting uncertain DOOM
As if dying in a dark MOOR locked up in their ROOM
Then the other was naughty, ready to pull any LEVER
Getting into trouble, exuberant and ready to REVEL
Not EVIL, but you’d...
