You Stay Away From My Sister!
While
we were
all having
fun splashing in
the pool, John saw this
blonde in a light purple
bikini come over and
say "hi" with a smile at one of
the other guys only to have John
shove that one guy so hard into the pool.

When a Guy Calls you Brother
Man
That's really amazing
Been charting the vernacular for years
Everytime it happens, stops me in my tracks
He called me Brother
There's no higher Apex
Man to Man can be a difficult quotient
Enough said

Brave Escape
I'm not afraid of you
I remember how it used to be
I never had the right answers
There was always a reason
To put me in my place.
I was so ashamed of you
Of how you abused me
It was like a life sentence
It was always the season
For a punch in the face.
One day I got away from you
I was feeling brave
Goodbye my brother
I felt saved and safe.
But I never truly got away.
There were always others.
That acted the same.
So now I choose solitude.

UNHAPPY MOTHERS DAY
37 yrs of a motherless mothers day.
37 yrs of sadness.
37 yrs of watching others celebrate Mother's day with happiness on their faces.
Whereas on each mothers day there's nothing but sadness on my face.
37 yrs and some odd months since mom was taken from her earthly existence.
37 yrs of her chillin in God's presence.
37 yrs of 2 sons without a mother.
37 yrs of 2 depressed lonely brothers.
Some say you should be happy for them that they are no longer suffering and in pain.
They are with the lord in heaven.
If you lost your mother at a...

Luce the series
are you there brother?
aye I'm here
cloaked in darkness lest you see me
and alter your course
I move quietly about you
so in tune with my soul I feel it when you reach for me
you know I watch you afar off?
minions keep the perimeter
I wait patiently for you to awaken
then weep bitter tears when I see your eyes glaze over
and you no longer recognize me
do you believe the lie?
don't you know, you are no human
in the immortal halls
you are a well known a warrior of old
blood of my veins ...
aye I'm here
cloaked in darkness lest you see me

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.

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...

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
I awaited your face
then when I saw you again you had changed
I ache for your understanding

can you hear me within your sacred place?
our honor and bond still stains my mind
brothers forever we pledged

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
