Interesting Times
We live in interesting times when it comes to rhymes.
I can say what I want but never mind.
I went a little insane when I lost my love life,
But like I said…Interesting times.
You can never be bored when dancing with the Devil.
Being so close to natural born evil.
Free the people for the people.
Always on the level when talking of my steeple.
Never had an ego that you could quash.
Don’t love myself, or you, or God.
Raised on love, brainwashed into believing.
Now all I have is endless dreaming.

Circadian Rhythm
We sleep
To escape the reality
And wakeup
To escape the dream
And the time
In between
It's life
That simple
To escape the reality
And wakeup
To escape the dream
And the time
In between
It's life
That simple

something special
Every one of us has something special
that we can add to the soup...
and when we
band together... our power can be absolute…
that we can add to the soup...

Knock-Out
Pale face
Blur vision
Grey world
Heavy breathe
Cold sweat
Dry cry
Frozen feet
Open wound
Closed doors
Cursed time
Crossed paths
Silent night
Stolen light
Shattered soul
Haunting shadow
End of a hope
Death of a dream
No one cares
Blur vision
Grey world
Heavy breathe
Cold sweat
Dry cry
Frozen feet
Open wound
Closed doors
Cursed time
Crossed paths
Silent night
Stolen light
Shattered soul
Haunting shadow
End of a hope
Death of a dream
No one cares

Lost Goodbye...
When war kills, people vanish, tears fall,
their bodies become part of drifting souls.
Those left never know how or where to say goodbye.
their bodies become part of drifting souls.
Those left never know how or where to say goodbye.

Pandremecession: A K in Capitalism
Dead metal wilts green. Crippled green crumbles to zinc.
The city rusts in the droplets of a breathing hundreds in thousands,
though some turn to mouth more than allowed to breath
(choked by the pathology or an inequality),
and the backwoods rolls its under-belly to reincarnation,
of disemboweling by its own cutting shears,
in a season where more ghosts to men twist tomato vine.

Can't stay gone
Waiting for the words
to walk through,
to emerge from a mind so blurred..
I need to purge on these pages
more often to release any fears or rage
that lingers..
Can't stay gone too long I've realized.
I'm always lured back in again and again,
the urge to pick up thy pen..
I must
Maybe I lust after that next line
too much,
the next word the next rhyme
but nothing worse than wanting to
say something anything without
knowing how to
with a mind so blank.
Creative capabilities crumbling ...
to walk through,
to emerge from a mind so blurred..
I need to purge on these pages
more often to release any fears or rage
that lingers..
Can't stay gone too long I've realized.
I'm always lured back in again and again,
the urge to pick up thy pen..
I must
Maybe I lust after that next line
too much,
the next word the next rhyme
but nothing worse than wanting to

Visions persist
In this moment I morph
and the next one
and the one before..
depressing less
trying to love a little more and more
with no resorting to ignoring
the intensity of simply existing
in this essence..
The visions persist
the truth.. in them
you mustn't dismiss
it's for you, this individual testament
so eternally relevant
no matter the circumstance,
they guide you to advance
and groove on in this divine dance..
the ultimate chance
no matter how massive the mess
or disastrous the stress
your...

Another day pt2
God of stars
towering over,
in the misty morning
this mystery hovers above..
Another day
another breath to take
more mistakes to learn from
more wisdom
you may earn some
during this transitional moment
in time and space and mind..
in spirit I yearn to embrace
this change..
change of pace and level of living
more energy and effort
I know I must be giving..
even when my patience and passions
are dwindling and on the decline
I take it as a sign
to take a look
within thyself to see ...

Silence
It's silent now
All the fight has gone out of
Each of us
And we sit in inconsolable discontent
At where things ended tonight
Things were said
Accusations flung back and fro
And I wonder
(not for the first time)
If this night was that proverbial straw
With the power to break the back
Of this unwise coupling
For good
I hope for the best
And try not to smile
I'm just too tired to fight
Anymore
It's the silence of new freedom
All the fight has gone out of
Each of us
And we sit in inconsolable discontent
At where things ended tonight
Things were said
Accusations flung back and fro
And I wonder
(not for the first time)
If this night was that proverbial straw
With the power to break the back
Of this unwise coupling
For good
I hope for the best
And try not to smile
I'm just too tired to fight
Anymore
It's the silence of new freedom

THE DECISION
Thick and stagnant air fills my lungs. I breathe in deep, life draining away.
I scream and nothing is released, hear my pain, and see me struggle, watch me suffocate.
Before the lights go out I find the door - open it - do you feel that?
A cold piercing wind blows almost through me, almost lifting me off my feet.
I collapse into its embrace and allow it to carry Me away.
No more sadness, no more solitude - just weightlessness and my breath.
My chest rises and falls, tears wad over my face.
Inside he resides, my love long lost. Everything I know, I...

His own way
He walks with his head down
because he knows,
though the soul burns freely
the heart still snows.
He weeps into the rain
so to mask his tears,
they drift on the current
of his childhood fears.
He wears a simple smile
but the sorrow shows,
in the sunlight shining,
and the wind that blows.
He steps out from the pain
of tormenting years,
sees a life to reclaim
as the grey sky clears.
He steps out from himself
to seize the day.
The journey uncertain,
he goes his own way.
