Barstow’s Nostradamus
More than an attempt to get right
with the city of Santa Cruz
childhood home of my buddy Doug
reflections on a Receding Hairline
If ever a listening with the skills
of a bartender graced my life
Doug fit the job to a tee
heart laugh, spot on advice
A sense of right and wrong
refrained from excess in judgement
keen observer of human behavior
more than advanced student of music
Shooting the breeze after work
tour guide of big B
the forecaster of Barstow’s plight
“after the tsunami we’ll be...

Berserker Brothers
here we go...
hunt with stealth oh brotherhood
bring down the hypocrites who sit in judgement falsely
with a wide swing cut their words from their mouths
leering at you like they know better
and don't forget lest history repeat itself
they struck first
my blood beats with passion
anger stirs and I swallow
releasing it in the aether
letting darkness hunt itself
calling down principalities
elitist cunts with prejudice
I call on favors from the immortal
to bring down the giant
we rise and fall ...

Timeliness, isn’t my best trait…
I’m always late, and he’s fully cognisant that he’s always waiting. Waiting, for me to tell it like it is when he’s incapable of grasping the truth.
I grabbed a coffee on my way, and I’m well caffeinated but I’ll grab another fresh cup whilst pondering what’s in front of me.
He calls me, and asks why the delay, I sense no agitation just a where the fuck are you now !?
As usual, I’m stuck in traffic, wracking my brain about where to park, before I even arrive whilst pondering the lines in the middle of the road.

Another Year Young
What is life but our gradual decline from the summit of childhood?
And the gravity has a way of pulling on us as we climb
After we've been disenchanted for what was
Every day we are in the remaking
Reminiscing on our yesterdays
Who might have known when we were young
Every moment and experience was but a set up for who we would become
Filtering through our friends
Learning who would be there for a moment or a lifetime
What is a lifetime but lifetimes within lifetimes?
Elementary years feel like a dream
Reality sets in as...
And the gravity has a way of pulling on us as we climb
After we've been disenchanted for what was
Every day we are in the remaking
Reminiscing on our yesterdays
Who might have known when we were young
Every moment and experience was but a set up for who we would become
Filtering through our friends
Learning who would be there for a moment or a lifetime
What is a lifetime but lifetimes within lifetimes?
Elementary years feel like a dream
Reality sets in as...

To Burn [Alan]
You had 30 years
To show me love
30 years to be
My big brother
Instead
I don’t even know
Where to begin
The age difference
The rage… inference:
You are the most
Violent person
I have ever
Personally known
Even more so
Than my exhusband
You gave me bruises
You made me cry
I was a child
You were an adult
You hurt animals
‘Worshipped the devil’
Listened to heavy metal
Did drugs and alcohol
I watched you...
To show me love
30 years to be
My big brother

I don’t even know
Where to begin

You are the most
Violent person

You made me cry
I was a child

Listened to heavy metal
Did drugs and alcohol

God's Bloodline
what do I say to the strangers time feels like it's made of us
yet we bridge the gaps of association with our memories
and is to have cherished but a fading glory of value we bestow
as we peer through the blinds of time apart and see someone we might know
despite the way the dust collects to cloud the tainted window
what has abandoned moments made of us
when carelessness turns former brothers to domestic foe
proudly accomplished without him there and betraying family ties
another life lived for himself, left short of former brides
...

Strawberry lemonade
Little brother you're fourteen
Not a child and barely a teen
Tightening your grip on things you know
Trying to hide the emotions you still show
I know growing up can be so scary
Never met someone who so loved anything strawberry
Oh little brother, its easy to love you
Even when you proclaim so loudly that you're too blue
How you're feeling dead inside
Yes, I see all the things you hide
You're too much like me when I was your age
Though I may come off too much like a sage
I was painted by the same hand of destiny
All I want to do...
Not a child and barely a teen
Tightening your grip on things you know
Trying to hide the emotions you still show
I know growing up can be so scary
Never met someone who so loved anything strawberry
Oh little brother, its easy to love you
Even when you proclaim so loudly that you're too blue
How you're feeling dead inside
Yes, I see all the things you hide
You're too much like me when I was your age
Though I may come off too much like a sage
I was painted by the same hand of destiny
All I want to do...

Trial By Love
Life brought you to this place
Where sons pose the question in mere existence
What caliber of man will you strive to be?
All the know how to survive and the wisdom of persistence
Passed down from struggle to redemption's legacy
The infants cry confides in you to lead
It's not a question of the scars that make us up
But for what purpose do we bleed?
Soul ties made manifest in bloodlines
No truer the bond than the byproduct of lifetimes
Imparting the lessons you've learned
Working back to square one and seeking to achieve
What you do...
Where sons pose the question in mere existence
What caliber of man will you strive to be?
All the know how to survive and the wisdom of persistence
Passed down from struggle to redemption's legacy
The infants cry confides in you to lead
It's not a question of the scars that make us up
But for what purpose do we bleed?
Soul ties made manifest in bloodlines
No truer the bond than the byproduct of lifetimes
Imparting the lessons you've learned
Working back to square one and seeking to achieve
What you do...

Things I tell my brother
Emotions are meant to be felt
Our minds are but an ocean of chemicals
Emotions floating around within it
Reach out and grab that feeling
Hold it gently and experience it
You brain can't help but produce feeling
To fight it is to not be human
What you do with feelings, with stimulus
Does define you at the end of the day
Be angry, be sad, be happy, feel pure joy
And then let it go to feel another
Our minds are but an ocean of chemicals
Emotions floating around within it
Reach out and grab that feeling
Hold it gently and experience it
You brain can't help but produce feeling
To fight it is to not be human
What you do with feelings, with stimulus
Does define you at the end of the day
Be angry, be sad, be happy, feel pure joy
And then let it go to feel another

blood oath
within the hurt burn
I see you in the eternal
your soul print is indelibly left on mine
seeing you again is pain
I looked through the centuries
I awaited your face
then when I saw you again you had changed
I ache for your understanding
my sorrow wells and I am left without a voice
can you hear me within your sacred place?
our honor and bond still stains my mind
brothers forever we pledged
how innocent then
everything was new
wisdom don and I was found wanting
I need you in my heart
you...
I see you in the eternal
your soul print is indelibly left on mine
seeing you again is pain
I looked through the centuries

can you hear me within your sacred place?

The Artist
Find the poem in every person" ~ William Carlos Williams
He was quiet, with stone cold, observer eyes.
Face, set in stone, from time waves
of… Talking to no one -
Telling no lies.
I saw him one day, at the sink…
Crystalline waters -
Downward flow
Like icy daggers
of… Sorrow
Made serene
Liquid colors in the drain…
Swirling
Art is movement that stirs the soul.
I entered his sphere, with no fear
just fascination
Starting a conversation
with a question
in...

In your breeding days,
Your deficiencies attracted the bloodline,
the giant, the dark-side,
the strongman,
Fruits of perversion,
anger, bitterness, jealousy,
your own
personal madman.
Breeding a dysfunctional circus,
the Jezebel-branded crew,
called python-dependents.
We compete!!!
We control!!!
Camouflaged,
masked,
as the perfect family,
while the black-sheep,
silently, sustains
her shattered soul. ...
