I never wanted to act like you didn’t exist.
A punishment in the form of Grief, I can admit.
A decision not within my control.
Paid the toll at the expense of my morals.
Pressured into an unwanted choice.
All because it was him who had the voice.
Torn away from me in just a night.
Now I have never felt so right.
A man who left me in a pit of sorrow.
Brought me to the brink of no tomorrow.
I sought the day I did not breath.
For my heart was ripped away just beneath me. ...

Painful Memory
I never will forget the day
my world came crashing down
It happened out on highway 6
just right outside of town
My wife and I were headed home
after dinner and a show
When a truck who crossed the center line
gave me nowhere else to go
When I hit the ditch doing 65
all I heard was Tammy scream
Everything around me slowed
like I'd stepped into a dream
We must have rolled at least 3 times
though I'm sure that it was more
Then I asked my wife if she was hurt
as I opened up my door
If she...
my world came crashing down

just right outside of town
My wife and I were headed home
after dinner and a show
When a truck who crossed the center line
gave me nowhere else to go
When I hit the ditch doing 65
all I heard was Tammy scream
Everything around me slowed
like I'd stepped into a dream
We must have rolled at least 3 times

Then I asked my wife if she was hurt

in the shadow of a kingdom
in the shadow lives a kingdom
in the artist lives a king
in the house beside the river
lives an ocean dweller
dwelling by the shore
deep inside the kingdom
gravity is breaking
ecstasy is crumbling
onto the floor
in the shadow of a kingdom
that i tried to capture
everything is falling
that i knew before
in the shadow of a kingdom
dwells my whole endeavor
i am not living there
anymore
in the artist lives a king
in the house beside the river
lives an ocean dweller
dwelling by the shore
deep inside the kingdom
gravity is breaking
ecstasy is crumbling
onto the floor
in the shadow of a kingdom
that i tried to capture
everything is falling
that i knew before
in the shadow of a kingdom
dwells my whole endeavor
i am not living there
anymore

Muse, Musing, Mused, and (not particularly much) Amused / More Grieving Daddy Shit.
Five decades of self'indulged commune with The Muse(s) has
just disappeared as quiet (and quite as profound
in absence as ever it was before
my beloved daughter "disappeared" a year ago.
No music. No music. No joy in the music as was for 50yrs.
Either from the massive "collection" or out of my own arsenal of horns.
Saxes untouched for a year now. Occasional attempts to re'spark are lifeless.
No image making.....no this nor that. Not any much of anything (is nothing).
20yrs of Cardiac Adventures,...

Juggernaut
Feeling so weak with no chance of release,
Standing in front of the Juggernaut.
You charge at me and I break down and plead;
Why won’t you stop what you are doing? I can’t take it anymore!
Juggernaut, Juggernaut;
I cannot stop the Juggernaut.
Everything that I have been taught,
Never prepared me for the Juggernaut.
There's a dragon on my tail
And it’s breathing fire down on me.
There is a failure to acknowledge,
The things we never took the time to see.
In all the worlds that I have seen,

Under the Eshelmen’s Sign in Canoga Park
The rejects come to
LA to find more
Of the same
High prices for
Abysmal settings
Depressed asshole searching
for something that isn’t
there and the things that
happen along the way
if I can pay for
it, I will stay
with it
fruit baskets in the
kitchen, now I’m a
diabetic
when’s the next
diatribe?
Eating nuts at
Midnight, now I’m
Fat
How about the rest
Of the week, can you
Do that?
I’m peddling boats
On Fontana and trying
To make...

Sweet poison
Sapphire dreams,
illusion in a net.
Bitter taste
of subtle poison;
the precious wine
masks the taste of death.
We breathe in,
as the intoxication
takes it course;
a journey never-ending,
until we fall off the horse.
We slide into oblivion,
drowning more and more.
Our sins will be our tokens
as we subside forever, deeper,
into the earth's tender core.

Raining Blood
Wine and sangria fill the sky
Plagued by slow death and immense decay
Falling down upon resilient soldiers
Coating the earth in a layer of thick garnet day-to-day
In preference to rain drops plummeting
And providing showers that cleanse
With a blade's edge, warriors are stripped of life
A mere casualty through war's lens
Bodies derelict, left to deteriorate throughout the night
In agonized misery, they lay in waiting of rigor mortis
Souls mingling with the gray area of the afterlife
Leaving behind not taciturn but lifeless...
Plagued by slow death and immense decay

Coating the earth in a layer of thick garnet day-to-day

Bodies derelict, left to deteriorate throughout the night

O, Ink
On my tip, abandoned clean
a spark of joy begins to gleam
shivering, as I renew
the filthy words it puts in you
sheets enwhite as we connive
the only way I stay alive
going back to all your black
for another heart attack
o, ink
I know you're no good
but your worst is all I need
o, ink
down the blackness of your hood
my misdeed ascends to feed
o, pen
drip about our acts of shame
we'll find their pride in your encore
o, pen
our hatred is a losing game
won in some unholy war
...

Broken Heart
I'm writing this now,
Even though you've gone,
To express the feelings I have,
And had all along..
Although I think you know,
I want to make sure you know!
That they won't die too,
Always in my heart,
And I'll always love you..
It was hard watching you go,
I never put you down for being a quitter,
But give up you did..
And I haven't a clue what way to go,
Or direction to head..
I'm lost...
But that's not your problem now
So nothing for you to worry about..
I tried to...

Paradise gone
Sun is shining, weather’s cold;
My broken soul will not let go.
I am dead whilst you still live;
How could they just let this be?
Save me please from everything,
That they have sent to hurt me.
I do not deserve this, please;
I only want to live.
Atheist, didn’t believe, is now heading for Hell.
Aargh this place is scary and what the Hell’s that smell?
Is that a corpse? My God, my God;
I’m buried with the dead.
My God, my God, my head, my leg;
They shot me in the chest.
I see myself,...
My broken soul will not let go.
I am dead whilst you still live;
How could they just let this be?
Save me please from everything,
That they have sent to hurt me.
I do not deserve this, please;
I only want to live.
Atheist, didn’t believe, is now heading for Hell.
Aargh this place is scary and what the Hell’s that smell?
Is that a corpse? My God, my God;
I’m buried with the dead.
My God, my God, my head, my leg;
They shot me in the chest.
I see myself,...
