Social Awareness
We have contrived far too long
Disregarding far too much
Responsibility long overdue
We have abandoned far too long
Assuming far too much
Hoping our cluelessness will see us through
We have hated far too long
Hurting far too much
Feelings of compassion stripped away
We have followed far too long
Denying far too much
Responsibility has gone astray
We have accused for far too long
Condemning far too much
Never really able to accept
We have suspected far too long
Distrusting far too much
Our distaste...

When Hopes and Dreams Are on The Edge
As I got older I thought life would be smoother sailing
But in the horizon I see a storm and with some raging seas
And though I’m trying to find my inner balance and peace
Fate sometimes shatters illusions and ideological fantasies
As I mature I must endure some trials and tribulations
The goals I had set seem to be taken away so easily
But with poise and calm I’ve got to diffuse this bomb
And I have to do it pragmatically and efficiently
As time passes by the aftermath carries a heavy echo
Beyond the blast zone a wave digs itself into...

It’s no longer torture to view
My memories of you
But I can’t help wonder why
It was so easy for you to disguise
The lies
Living inside your eyes
My memories of you
But I can’t help wonder why
It was so easy for you to disguise
The lies
Living inside your eyes

burn
come fiercely and burn the night
ashes on the wind keen
I'm in no mood now blow
insincerity of hope bleed truth
I am no toy
heathenistic I get from my knees and rise
insulting larceny stole my joy
petty thief of the heart
I want it back
I am willing a debt to my soul be paid
jilted storm where will you rain?
inside my pain you are welcome
twist my feelings until they are honest
lustful hex you are next to bleed tears
cold demeanor in the skies of a trickster
I hurt but I will get over it ...

WHAT HAPPENED?
We used to defy
all taboos, cross
all barriers, dare
to take a risk,
say yes against
the odds, taste the
forbidden, indulge
in decadence, and
pick ourselves up after
we were down for the count;
loose our shirt and have
to hitchhike home.
YES! Vegas is what happened
to us and we didn't let
it stay there but we brought
empty pockets with us.
BUT
we're on our way back to
the bright lights and winning
and losing....WOW! Life
gets more exciting every day,
win, lose, or draw...

Two Lane Highway
It’s a quiet road where one lane heads north, the other south.
I travel life on both sides of this road especially at night.
Never ever meeting the illustrious middle.
Always sunny on the north side, never allowing pain and grief in this cavernous hole of loneliness.
The south side is where I live most comfortably.
Where my real self dwells-
It knows my pain and inner most sorrow.
The disappointment of failures only said aloud in my head and immediately denied.
In silent desperation I drive...

that flower (shed its skin)
not
as young
and naive
as the
year before,
eyes
watching
around himself,
possessions
tucked away,
don't
stand
too close,
i will not
be responsible.

Optimistic Pessimist
Fixed a squeaky door

Expect the squeak anyway
Somewhat disappointed
Success
Failure too

SOME PEOPLE
How it truly fucking still makes my head spin and amazes me
People's lack of common sense or human decency
Coupled with total disregard and not any respect
But, that's only my damn opinion in retrospect
Privacy I believe is something truly treasured
Not in how you're ego is massaged & measured
I suppose its a personal thing that I do seek
Tho we need to be mindful of when we act & speak
I guess it's in others words and actions I just can't
But, I do humbly thank you for allowing my tantrum & rant

In Your Face
What you say to a poet should be
carefully measured, not edited.
Do not mistake caramel
and the sweetness
of silence for censorship.
If she is blind, she will still peel
one good layer of your laugh,
she will have an analyst come
to your window in the night
and scrape the breath
from your pane to ensure
you are not sneaking a secret --
if she is not blind she will
poke holes through the air,
a pocket to insert your 7th
grade fear of mundane,
you're exquisite talent
for evasion as a child, ...

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

Wants not Needs
I swim in the ebb and flow
of life's cycles eternal tide
to birth and life grasping
what stories living has to offer
there's comedy in cycles circle
cruel pranks of enticement
only to be cruelly withheld
ambitions become unreachable
love for instance becomes a dream
comforts are shown from windows
of someone's living room
leaving bitter tastes in one's palate
the ache that lingers
none can actually share
for each their own disappointment
each to their dimensions of despair
wishing to find...
