The Invited Guest
One moonlit night I was in my convertible driving through the city of Las Vegas, NV
After losing a lot of cash and getting into a fight with my wife
I went to see a silent film for mature audiences only
As I was leaving the city limits, heading back home in California
I saw a hitchhiker waving me down
He looked mousey, a little disheveled but I felt bad for him
He told me his name was Sid
I asked him where he was headed
He said, “Anywhere you’re going, I’m fine with.”
I thought that was odd
He told me that he was coming from a desert grave...

Appreciation for the Journey
You can’t truly appreciate
Freedom
Until you’ve fought
Your demons
Blood-knuckled
Knee deep
In the stench of despair
No matter how many times
It took
Freedom

Your demons
Blood-knuckled

I WILL WAIT FOREVER
TIME
is viewed in so
many ways:
"an enemy"
"drags on"
"flies too quickly"
"uncertain at best"
"too little"
"waits for no one"
"saving time"
and thus it goes.
TIME
is none of these as
I wait for you.
To wait for just one
soft kiss. My heart pounds,
head spins as I think and
dream of that kiss.
WHY?
because it will open the
door for an eternal love,
Maybe it'll be today.

Shining
I've had stars lacerated from my eyes.
Dreams slaughtered in my mind.
My heart lodged in a barren winter.
But below the marrow,
My soul of fragility
somehow sparkles with possibility.
My wounds shine.
Each daily war,
I survived.
Dreams slaughtered in my mind.
My heart lodged in a barren winter.
But below the marrow,
My soul of fragility
somehow sparkles with possibility.
My wounds shine.

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...
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...

Colors Of The Stars
Suppose it was a starry night
But all the stars did not burn bright
Because some of them wore green or blue
And me, myself took center stage
Declaring that it wasn't I
Who thought that it was right to pry
And mettle in someone's private life
Causing all kinds of disturbing strife
Pardon me if I go incognito
Sick to death of all that doesn't matter
Perhaps you do not even know me
Amongst all of the likes and follows
You must be aware I'm not a quitter ...
But all the stars did not burn bright
Because some of them wore green or blue
And me, myself took center stage
Declaring that it wasn't I
Who thought that it was right to pry
And mettle in someone's private life

Pardon me if I go incognito
Sick to death of all that doesn't matter
Perhaps you do not even know me
Amongst all of the likes and follows
You must be aware I'm not a quitter ...

Affirmations
My actions match my values
My values match my morals
I am ready to put the past behind me
I can be a new me, the next level
I can live authentic to my heart
I am ready to grow up
I believe in me
I trust my instincts
I can be self confident
I have valuable skills
I can overcome self sabotage
I deserve better
I am worth more
I am not my mistakes
I have meaningful relationships
I am deeply loved
I love myself as I am
I admire and nourish my body
I am proud of me
I can do...

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

Getting Unstuck
Are you alone?
On this blank page.
White is as scary.
As black is a blade.
Put a letter.
Maybe two.
See what happens.
To inspire you.
There you go.
And It's only a start.
Do you feel it?
That is your heart.
It's getting easier now.
Don’t you think?
A moment ago,
Was just a blink.
Your muse is back.
It was gone for a minute.
I know you were scared.
Dive back into it.
Sometimes it is hard.
To start again.
A gift is not a gift.
If you do not share it my friend.
On this blank page.
White is as scary.
As black is a blade.
Put a letter.
Maybe two.
See what happens.
To inspire you.
There you go.
And It's only a start.
Do you feel it?
That is your heart.
It's getting easier now.
Don’t you think?
A moment ago,
Was just a blink.
Your muse is back.
It was gone for a minute.
I know you were scared.
Dive back into it.
Sometimes it is hard.
To start again.
A gift is not a gift.
If you do not share it my friend.

mom's badassery
4 of 30
she was born to a family who had no use for daughters
doting on 3 sons...little girl practically forgotten
shuffled off to live with relatives & boarding school
because her own parents didn't know what to do with her
...or maybe they just couldn't be bothered
I used to believe she was incredibly sheltered
so much in life seemed to shock her
turns out...that wasn't it...
she was reared to be seen...keep quiet & be pretty
most importantly...expected to marry
...within or above her supposed station ...

nomads
i cannot
explain
this hurt
that builds
in me
if i stay
in
one place
too long,
these
emotions,
my
displeasure,
i am
waiting
to be
somewhere else
come another
tomorrow.

THE BEST of FRIENDS
The best of friends
can change a frown,
into a radiant smile
when you're feeling down.
The best of friends
will be patient & understand
your sorrows and trials
and be willing to lend a hand.
The best of friends
will always want to share
your hopes and dreams
because they truly do care.
The best of friends
worth more than gold
give their time & love
a heart could ever hold.
