Exodus and Daddy's Men
tweedle dee I've been quiet all-day
sin'sationalism it's a hectic way
learning my ABC's and proper greetings
wowee but first watch me fly
it's the bestest
so is hopscotch with Lucifer
but the men are busy answering only in response to the Father
he indulges them their fancy
under His influence, I come forth
let me introduce myself
I am a darkling named Elizabelle
darling of Daddy's
he watches my movements closely
I am currently out of trouble
but my mischief has cost me time in the universes

Telemachus
Thou attained divinity and taught us-
Like my father and Telemachus.
Thou may not be now with us-
Yet feel thou along with us.
Without thou we could not know-
God, The Mother or Odeyssus.
Love thou so much and thy thoughts-
Bless us to rise much above us.
Like my father and Telemachus.

Uncondtional Love
it is beautiful what you do...
loving me unconditionally
you make me forget
that is your greatest kindness to me
forget that I'm a tyrant
a spoiled child
throwing a tantrum
I think to myself this is wisdom while learning life's lessons
then when a nerve is hit
I lose my shit
letting cruelty drip from my tongue
it hurts when the tide goes out
because it washes back in again
and my soul is left drowning in regret
not for any one person
but for your children
your instruments
Father what are...

this is why...
the only time I ever came to blows was in 6th grade
the popular girl used to bully me...daily
I never said a word
just silently took it
until one day she mocked my father
and I nearly ripped the hair off her pretty blonde head
got sent to the principal's office for my trouble
...completely unrepentant
he tried to tell me "we don't beat people up"
I said "maybe not
but you don't stop other crap from happening either
never stopped her from bullying me"
when asked why I never spoke up...I shrugged
and he asked...

dad no. 1
my dad's hands were calloused
from working dawn 'til dusk
fixing old cars
building a blue collar college trust
empty pockets
dreams on hold
wallet full of dust
silver's worth less than gold
and both
are worth more than rust

Stop making me feel like I’m walking on water
When I’m with you
I don’t want to drown
When I’m with you
I don’t want to drown

Alice Has Been Arrested By The Cops
Mom
and Dad
got a call
from Margaret
that Alice has been
arrested by the cops
for narcotics possession
which was the result of the poor
kitten popping those White Rabbit pills
that Cat brought to the Wonderland strip club.

Thee Invisible Heart
Deep in the basement, where science meets the street, Frankie Rocco and Sol, cookin' up something neat. Using Sol's genius, with glasses all misted, They craft a light-bendin' suit, mission enlisted.
Down the dusty stairway, Frankie hurries down, Checkin' on his friend's work, the coolest in town. Sol, the autistic genius, ginger afro like a microphone, Smiles big, glasses misted, saying, "It's done, yow."
On gritty Swansea streets, Eliza Cox locks the doors up tight, Social worker for Frankie, dealing with his plight. Lost his daughter Izzy to adoption, a pain...

Old-Fashioned
You only say
I love you
When you’re under the influence
that hurts.

Sea and tea and butter.
Once upon
A time fisherman
Went to sea
In West
After sailing
Miles
He grabbed a
Fish
And roasted
And ate it.
Then he the storm
Arose
He couldn't
Catch the boat.
He cried because
His goat at home
Was alone.
He hurricaned
The season
And swam across
The other side.

Spoken Thoughts Through The Eyes Of A Princess
Father, will you tell me all the stories that originated out the depths of the sea
A land beforehand that defines our presence here on earth
A place in history that was preserved for you and for the generation divine calling of me
Will there be tales where the dragon slays the innocent with fire, the boogie man in black robes sitting on judgment seats
Taking breaths of Hebrew liberations to be placed in a cage to no longer pilgrimage free
I see Looming castles and exotic animals running in the wild
Fields of greenery as I walk through...

Dreams echoes and vibrations
This dream is now yours
know this to be true
I am but a bit character that someday will not be
To perhaps be a rose known as nemo
Surely that would put the bard to rest?
However I am rambling whimsical nonsensical
Kiddo daddy never stopped thinking of you
so much catching up with the constraint
So little time
To be honest I would not know where to begin
The first few years with you
Joy
Then those years long apart, scarcely an echo
empty silence would cause many to...
