Snowglobe
Promenading around Lake Bled
Once, twice and again!
Morning light till afternoon
Once, twice and again!
In this Slovenian pleasure ground:
And around again!
Tourists from Europe, Asia & where?
Oh no not again!
Feeling the hit of the Australian eye.
Oh no not again!
What is this f*ing Australia in Europe?
Never never again!
Managed to avoid them but here they are.
Turn and look away!
Walking around again in the dark,
fishermen stay here for days.
They see us all promenade past.
They're still like...
Once, twice and again!

Turn and look away!

Beyond The Fringe
There are more planes of existence
than we are aware of in this timeline
that our human brains are hardwired to
overlook;
alternate universes
allowing for choice
Same as the leap of faith I took
when we first fell for each other
in this third dimensional framework
I would bridge worlds
crossover into the next
and find you again
and again
as many times as it takes
until frozen lakes of circumstance
become thawed to point of
breakthrough;
...

Pills
The red or blue pill
Apparently your choosing
Take both pills at once
Apparently your choosing
Take both pills at once

Ponder
Being here.
Alone in this house.
I wait patiently but impatiently for the potential storm that looms just over the horizon line.
These moments provide substantial quiet time that causes a man such as me, to ponder his life, his choices and his direction.
But please be clear.
Pondering my life and my choices, does not intend to incite that there is any regret for the path that was dictated or that I have chosen.
In fact, it is quite the contrary.
For the greatest of thoughts that fills my mind and soul with peace and happiness is this....
That if my time...

In the breathing
Sheikh of dirty speech / Dr. "Only call me when you're past urgency / Dropping pearls from an infinite beach / To each their cool / Rule your walk / School of artful talk amidst hard spots / Like Sisyphus stopped / Just before the rock dropped / Said "What? That's all you got?" / Pounding chops / If the mountain will not / Come to Mohammed… / Then fuck it, his ass better hustle and get on it / The Reaper is a cosmic kitten, the Ultimate Pussy, with life's ball of yarn unwinding / Feeling her teeth all the time so I keep on grinding

Sonnet Interruptus
Some mornings, upon waking I perceive
my thoughts in iambic pentameter.
As words churn, there’s a hope I might conceive
some poetry that won’t taste too bitter.
But then life knocks, and asks me for a drive,
There’s dog vomit, and groceries to get.
The selfish hobby gets shoved to back seat,
And as you can see rhyme goes out the door!
With research, schoolwork, kids and household tasks,
Fourteen lines really is too much to ask!
my thoughts in iambic pentameter.
As words churn, there’s a hope I might conceive
some poetry that won’t taste too bitter.
But then life knocks, and asks me for a drive,
There’s dog vomit, and groceries to get.
The selfish hobby gets shoved to back seat,
And as you can see rhyme goes out the door!
With research, schoolwork, kids and household tasks,
Fourteen lines really is too much to ask!

Euthanasia
Let me melt away;
final shivers
down my spine.
Respite for the dead
as the living look on.
One final torment,
sweet euthanasia,
self given sentence,
no one else to decide.
True compassionate mercy,
given to man;
freedom to his final journey,
no torture to withstand.
I don’t care about pity,
nor will your well thinking mockery
make me feel less than I am.
Your perfect, social rules,
have made fools
out of free thinkers' dignity,
imposing chains
over sensitive souls
who...
final shivers
down my spine.
Respite for the dead
as the living look on.
One final torment,
sweet euthanasia,
self given sentence,
no one else to decide.
True compassionate mercy,
given to man;
freedom to his final journey,
no torture to withstand.

make me feel less than I am.

En Passant
It may have been in pieces
But he took the best of me
I met him in passing, darling
I think I’m buried alive
I wish I had a blanket
The winter keeps my body cold
I count the scars to pass the time
I’m buried by the side of the road
But he took the best of me
I met him in passing, darling
I think I’m buried alive
I wish I had a blanket
The winter keeps my body cold
I count the scars to pass the time
I’m buried by the side of the road

Choices.
Should heaven release its bountiful snow
to one there'd be wonder
another, woe.
It's attitude in life that sticks to thee
perpetuating joy
or misery.
to one there'd be wonder

It's attitude in life that sticks to thee

candy drift
cloying caramel
rotten-sweet defeat
for leering tongues
and hearts that long
to drift along
where they don’t belong
flagrant intoxicant
for those who want
the inelegant ruin
of the piquant moon
for far too soon
drunk spirits swoon
where foolish thirsts
insist on decadent
fulfillment
but she burns out
overnight
when the blood boils
and mornings begin
without ambition
except to cheat again
to face defeat again
and...

I'm Not Really Drunk
There you go girl
Throwing em all back
Every shot straight to
the head
But she's not dead inside
Finally doing shit for herself
because she's alive
She can handle her liquor
She can handle her drink
in her hand more than you know
This juice don't make her
numb
Because that's not what she do
Throwing em all back
Every shot straight to
the head
But she's not dead inside
Finally doing shit for herself
because she's alive
She can handle her liquor
She can handle her drink
in her hand more than you know
This juice don't make her
numb
Because that's not what she do
