Influence
You see this is why your friends wanted you back with them
A pile of coal surrounding a gem
I was ready to jump at your slightest whim
Now you're riding the bus looking for him
Your friends didn't like it, hated you being on the up
They conspired against you to fuck shit up
Claimed you were in chains and weren't being treated right
Claimed they saw me over there just last night
But when it came to love you know how you were treated
When it came to dinner, you were the first one seated
Cards and flowers were a constant...

How Long [Redux]
There are times when a man needs to back down from his strength
And remember his weakness…
The way isn’t always easy to see but the feeling is unmistakable
My heart has missed you
You who are closest to me…
And how can that be
Have you learned to live around me instead of with me?
If I think I lead
Where have I lead us to
A place where we each go our own way
And say we’re together
Can I still touch the part of you that thought I was everything?
Because I so desperately want to feel like that person again
Would you...

Deeper Than The Pelion
Deeper than the Pelion Sea
and still waters of twilight
sweeter than ambrosia
vanishing sins
aches and pains
exonerating the flame
of dark's misguided fools
while listening to the innocent
deeper than the Pelion Sea
and still waters of twilight
sweeter than ambrosia
vanishing sins
aches and pains
exonerating the flame
of dark's misguided fools
while listening to the innocent

Things You Could Do That Would Hurt me More
Rip through my flesh
- anywhere, no need to be picky -
with a medium quality knife
like from one of those red handled sets Target sells.
Pour whatever stings most into the wound;
you'd know better than me.
Sew me back up slowly with a thick, rusty needle,
while some of the worst songs ever recorded are playing
like Bette Davis Eyes
or almost anything by Michael Bolton.
Put together a montage of video clips
of gut-wrenching cruelties,
the abject horrors that crush my soul
-racism, cruelty to animals, bullying-
and...

what happened to George
Floyd was racist, those police officers
deserve all they get, and yet,
spare a thought for their wives and
their kids are left reeling
at the quite sudden turn of events

and finally, hope
I hope life blesses you
with a goodnight
kiss
I hope that the dreams
of moonlight fall upon
you like silver
snowflakes
I hope that your sadness
is covered by a thousand
red cut out paper
hearts
I hope that a child sees
through your eyes
and the devil
walk away
defeated
I hope the summer
rain cleanses your
grief and you can
finally grow
roses
with a goodnight
kiss

defeated

rain cleanses your
grief and you can

The Presence Of Man
Created in the image of the Divine
Superior creatures
With handsome manly features
Selfishly given of his rib
A man in the making starting from the crib
Playdough, marbles, Army men to command
Bow and arrows, playing all day in a box of sand
First day of school for the rest of your life
Parents looking down at your young face, years going by without strife
Preparing your mind for the day you take a wife
The first school boy crush
Swooning a girl with love letters to make her blush
High...

Father
Father
Father where am I now that you are dust
Are my bones the sunken treasure of your legacy?
Your ghost follows my shadow
like a leper lost in an apothecary of the soul
Who wore a uniform
like a centurion flying on eagle’s wings
On a Hellenic march
to an acropolis of the mind
Where you languished with Mom
in Drachma beatitude
For an unbearable silence
broken by cat murmur
When mercy was a flower
in the shade of a Doric column
Teetering on the brink of tragedy
But moments stolen like the...

Mindful
Mindful
To each moment
Stay awake, be alive
Meet inner Self and touch its heart
When caught in mundane maze holy bonds lost
Pin the spirit to peace, breed thought
Mind your mind and lull strain
Expand and be

can we start over?
They say time heals all things
and I don't know if those words
are true or just something
the wounded say to themselves
I've lived through things
I thought wouldn't get better
and still woke up one day
with lungs full of air
and a smile for the sunshine
Can we start over and leave
these demons behind?
let the past fade
to lessons learned
I want to let go
of all the things I fear
find happiness

Thugs of God
Standing on top
Of glamour hill
Typed tongues
Like bible pages
Dressed in black and white
Spewing ancient words
For the modern ages
Dealing forgiveness
Addicting the human race
Eucharist pills
Washed down in wine
Without a trace
Pass out the gold
Donation bowl
Cash in their sin
For a pass into the
Lambent land
Buying priceless souls
Dressed in grey
But I'm going to make
My own way
Build my own church
Made with my
Soul's kaleidoscope life

Poetically Yours
Now, it is past summer
every light filled a shady corner
it is so so far from cold December
yet, it can be poetically warmer.
it is the heat of august flames,
and the noon lounges lazy in the hot hour
some kind of time rarely sensed,
some kind of feelings, mystically resuscitated,
some sort of streaming languid, lengthy oscillation,
seen on a very large sea, without limitation,
then the void swallows any sign of voice,
of motion, less life, less existence,
death of any poetic fresh dictionary.
