Left behind
My red vehicle, a beautiful vibrant machine amongst the autumn colors. Just a way to get me from one place to another. I escape the confines to let my footsteps wander fearlessly through changing leaves. There are no clear paths, just open areas, fields in wait of new footprints. An old home caught my attention. Clearly vacant and overgrown with trees and vines, I was mesmerized by her stoic intent to remain. Only able to get so close, I wandered the perimeter. Her windows were open, vacant holes into a past I could only imagine. None were reachable. At some point I wish to think it was...

Expecting Rain
I'm up on the stage as the clouds roll in
Throw my hands to the heavens
Let the rains wash away my sins
Pick up my guitar and play a few notes
Pulling from the paper the words that I wrote
I fooled myself into thinking I had control
Then the boat started rocking and the ocean started to roll
Made a deal with the devil and lost my soul
Now I'm waiting on the rain
Chorus::
Blinding lightning and rhythmic thunder
Gale force winds and torrential rain
Sometimes to keep your sanity
You need a hurricane
In a...

A Scribner’s Tale
A Scribner’s Tale
Brooke says, “John when you told me about those bitches from the previous agency who took the belt to you I cried for you. Just thinking of what that tough leather on your soft bottom must have felt like made me wince. John, know that I will never try to force you into a career mold by brute force.”
“Like their namesake flower, those belladonnas enticed me with beauty whose touch was poison.”
“What drove them to such cruel measures?”
“They felt like I discredited their program by turning down their job offers...

Break
Cigarette butts on the floor.
Time for me to take a walk.
Work is easy when you’re not this tired.
Want a day off, hope I get fired.
Trucks pass on by, on the fly,
And I can’t see eye to eye.
Trains they come and then they go.
Aching legs dream of home.
Rest a while then work again.
Life is Hell when things don’t change.
Easy job, but lack of motivation.
I don’t need no education.

Across A Veil
A leaf will fall from a tree
from a wind across a veil
but whose voice will ring
when it shrivels and dies
seasons past of long ago
when you become snow.
from a wind across a veil
but whose voice will ring
when it shrivels and dies
seasons past of long ago

WAR BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
Here within this moment of solitude and especially the darkness of my thoughts, as night shadows dance within the subconsciousness of my thoughts capturing my undivided attention. For it is here within this moment that once was day in the life of the sunshine, but now it has become night of darkness as I have gone through a transformation within my own life as I stare into the very existences of darkness eye to eye. As the whispers of the winds blows through the trees that has lost, their leaves yet still standing as though naked with out reach arms reaching towards the dark of night. Yet...

ex-husband
Ex-husband
He was a quiet man
his wife found him boring
she had many lovers and flaunted them
in front of him.
I think she waited for a passion that was not there.
Nevertheless, they had a child “his”
she was granted a divorce and kept the house.
There was a hefty mortgage on the house
she had failed to know this.
The bank, as the bank does take the house.
She lives in a trailer now.
As he does three trailers away.
He can hear her scolding voice.
That is the way it goes you never get rid of your first wife.

THEIR WORLD AND MINE
THEIR WORLD AND MINE
My heart, don't look at those who try
to derail you from your own way.
They show you dirt and say it's fine;
they have their lives and l have mine.
The man who lives with his own soul
can't bear the mucus of a snail,
the sweat they produce on his chest,
where a clean girl would hate to rest.
Leave me alone in my pure world,
where my soul roams in its green field.
The flowers bloom, proud of their hues
to give such gorgeous, cheerful views.
