Glimpse
Pulling your bow across the strings
of my sorrow,
a maligned melody drifts into you.
Our song is the same.
Should I draw nigh?
Or will our wings become entangled,
plunging us even further into
the abyss.
The elders turn their backs
to our desires, a fire too bright
for the blackness of them.
May we never seek the shade of
their wings again.
Gnawing and reaching at the realms above
perhaps together the levitation
is enough.
To catch a glimpse of hope
for the death of pain.
of my sorrow,
a maligned melody drifts into you.
Our song is the same.
Should I draw nigh?
Or will our wings become entangled,
plunging us even further into
the abyss.
The elders turn their backs
to our desires, a fire too bright
for the blackness of them.
May we never seek the shade of
their wings again.
Gnawing and reaching at the realms above
perhaps together the levitation
is enough.
To catch a glimpse of hope
for the death of pain.

Infiniti Roses
Dying in obscurity was
always the plan because
everything was badly
written
a hero’s journey into
the abyss
good weed will do that
freedom and a little bit
of money
mudhoney baby at the kiosk
this is how I look when I’m
fucking your bitch!
getting a line off like an
orgasm
just keep going
music, sometimes
I like grease
things change and we
were reduced to an
email thread
reluctant to change so
everything remained ...

for amber waves of pain
blood in the mouths of
our cities
blood in the thoughts
of our
polictians
blood stains the hands
of lady liberty
crystal meth street
lights
8 bucks for a pack
of smokes
America has a
hard on for self
destruction and
Wall St. while
there are over a
half-a-million
homeless
across the land
Christ climbs down
from the cross
to bless capitalism
and orders take out
chop suey
the left has left us
behind
the right...

Damn It Tom Jones
our eyes surely had never met
a bumble made my fingers sweat
those gorgeous ruby red lips
my words were made to lisp!
literary creature, it was hard to believe,
swayed by Blue Hawaii it’s a god damn relief!
impressed, says the right sided mind,
and the left had the cheek to say, don’t be blind!
what would I know about a total eclipse?
listening to Tom Jones singing the Kiss!
all those ladies, glorious beauty to till the encore
dirty underwears, his favorite was from Lady Galore!

Eat Cake.
There's no Discrimination here-
We're All the Same,they Say-
We tolerate and accept different points of View-
So why can't We tolerate and accept a Very Gay Cake.

farmlands
The Farmland
The mid-west of the USA flat plain many farmers
tilling rich soil; red barns under a blue sky.
The community thrived, cows and horses in the fields
the Amis people lived nearby in peace with God.
There was harmony here and whispering grass.
Agricultural – business moved in, bought up land
the farmers could not compete and sold out.
Empty barns, fading colours, falling into disrepair
No cows in the field, no horses or dogs
Silent despair of ruined homesteads hangs
In the bitter wind telling of failure.
This is...

(C)
Can you see the blinded masses?
Can you hear deafness of the Earth?
Do you smell the scent of vastness?
Do you know the whole of a mind's worth?
Can you put a price on it?
Can you take away the pain?
Do you think it's cause we hate it?
Do you think it takes away their fame?
Can you put me in prison?
I'm in a country that's not yours?
Do you care for my visions?
Or only care for your wars.
Whether they put it all on paper.
Or they make it on the screen.
Their life's career on a wager.
Pass your bill,...

Cecil The Sleepwalking Lion
He was a big and scary lion
with pointed teeth and razor claws
loving to his friends
still they cowered to his raws
He was fearless, he was strong
mighty as the day was long
and in the jungle he was king
all the birds his song did sing
However Cecil had an odd affliction
enhanced by his one addiction
he would wander in his sleep
sometimes eating the farmers sheep
He’d...

can destiny shackle you for more
did you fight to be reborn
or
is this another one of those sorry attempts
designed to capture that final scent
poetic flurries caving in
no more insecure failed attempts
no more anxious fantasies to weigh me down
no more anger to unleash on the crowd
no more pressure from my own designs
no more self sabotage for my demise
no more hiding
no more running
-its time i rise
did you fight to be reborn
or
is this another one of those sorry attempts
designed to capture that final scent
poetic flurries caving in

no more anxious fantasies to weigh me down
no more anger to unleash on the crowd

no more self sabotage for my demise
no more hiding
no more running

the brown bear
The brown bear
During Yeltsin years when he sold Russia down the river
People in the west loved the brown bear
we patronized the Russian as vodka swilling village idiots.
The cuddly bear died, and a steely-eyed fox to the helm
and the Russians was no longer cuddly.
The Russian federation was no longer willing to play
the game ascribed by the western press no longer willing
to be pushed around and laughed at.
Putin, the fox, turned Russia into a modern state that has
a modern army that is powerful if stirred by the west.
Russia...
