The Painful Train Ride
On the LIRR to Penn Station
Hot
Thick
I can smell myself
The floor is covered with garbage
I see a girl on the platform when we stop at the next town
I wish
I wish I could lift myself from this seat and touch her
I don't want to break her arm though
Do you want to know me?
My pain would crush your rib cage
I could love you
I wish I could stop running

The Route
Spinning inside my head tonight
Your words left a lasting impression
It’s kinda overwhelming to think
Within the context of your confession
Truths are heavy when laced in guilt
Addiction leaves tiny splinters inside
What you felt was the bricks you carry
Veiled by liquid courage and selfish pride
There is no judgement in this room
Being a witness to every single doubt
I’ll help you return to former glories
Because I memorized the entire route

Veiled by liquid courage and selfish pride

Being a witness to every single doubt
I’ll help you return to former glories
Because I memorized the entire route

Blow Out The Candles
As birthdays go
This is one is not so bad
A smile on my face
My health
My family
New friends
New ventures etc...
There are thoughts hidden
behind the smile
Like it's cold outside
are people warm?
Do they have food?
There is a fire raging.
How are they?
There are wars all over
outside and internally
Will we make it as a people?
Blowing out these candles
I smile and feel the tracks of tears
of both joy and grief
I made a wish
Now, if this one comes true
we will all...

courage
there is dignity still. yes there is courage
sadness peaks and overpours it must be expressed
let notes of powerful beauty explain
bombs and guns can not silence the soul of the brave
the blood of humanity will cry out to the heavens, hear the Ukraine
rising on the winds to reach the hearts of others
yes, I'm still here, feel my pain
in the tall of my back I am speaking to the downtrodden and afraid
music soothing the frayed spirits
for a moment transported to better days
in an instant all the joyous days spent playing...

in the tall of my back I am speaking to the downtrodden and afraid
music soothing the frayed spirits

The sight of this pretty little girl swinging
It's Simple pendulum
My bicycle bell jingles
Look up, don't cry,.
Giggle a little,
Twinkle!..
We together in this so lets face the race and get through with these hurdles
Don't turn or look back we have got enough problems
We are part of the deadliest royal rumble
I am a lost noble
Who got himself into many troubles
Behind me is this herd of word cattle
To take on any battle
Suddenly, even time shuffles
Sit up don't let this beat...

GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION
STOP
locking your desires
in a mental prison that
YOU have created.
Give yourself permission
to live and enjoy the wonders
of life you were born to live.
STOP
writing your lists of excuses
you have let self and others
squeeze the joy and passion
out of YOU.
STAND
tall like an oak tree that
cannot fall; let your branches
wave goodbye to reasons
to be reluctant or afraid.
GIVE
yourself permission to be
the beautiful rose that blooms
and emits an angelic perfume
that creates beauty in your ...

Leave what's not yours
To a man or woman leave a man or woman, that's not yours alone 🤔 I say that to get you to think and understand, that there is a true differences, between a good woman and a good man. WHO believes in having, a strong relationship with someone, who doesn't have to cheat or lie for they have a real relationship with honesty and truth and trust. For sure it's a subconscious thoughts on your part, to be able to share your thoughts and insight and spiritual soul with love and honor and respect.

Collage #2 - Outsider Looking In
I was always on the outside
Looking in
Wasn’t much I wanted in there
Loner type
Like the song by Bob Dylan
Off the album BLONDE ON BLONDE
“Just Like a Woman”
The line … ‘I can’t fit”
So Art called
I jumped in
Many years later I remain
A movement for outside artists
Platform to stand tall
Malcontents, nonconformists, freaks
It’s like your warm embrace
Finally… I fit

Walls
Take your
Judgement
Let it rest
My heart
On sleeve
Represents
Drink my flaws
Here right now
I'll break
These walls
Someway
Somehow
