a far away place
A faraway place
I lived in the interior of the Algarve for many years
in a converted stable made into a cottage that
was smelling of mules when it rained.
After the heat of summers, winters were, if not
Welcome, but accepted as good for the land
Rain and damp, how great to have a wood burner
and a gas stove for cooking when electricity
broke down as it often did.
International problems of the time had a feel
of distance, nothing to with us away from the
braying crowd and the insanity of pop- culture
Walking in the woods...

Things To Do
World’s getting heavy
All tucked up in this little town
Where the old fade like photographs
Tired of make believe
Dreaming it just ain’t living it
Making subsistent level paychecks
I’ve had enough now
Heard the horizon calling me
A bridge to a place that goes one way
All my friend’s leaving, so should I
It don’t matter to me
Here or there I’m ready to go
Honey I’m tired of waiting all the time
Wanting that gold mine now
So let’s hit the road
Sail oceans I’ve never seen
Can’t be...

Ghost Gone
Joan was on her way to Marysville in gorgeous Montana on this superb November day.
That was her destination but a dozen miles before the famed ghostown she noticed a small wooden sign indicating Dead Man's Creek ten miles to the left. Intrigued because no such was indicated on her maps. She decided to go have a look.
It was getting quite dark as she parked her Acura RDX by the side of what looked like a dilapidated rooming house next to the equally sad looking remains of a saloon.
Equipped with her Paranormal 4K Camcorder proceeded up the few steps to the house....

The visit
The visit
I wonder is there someone out there lonely just like me, are they dreaming of a man, a poet to set them free
Are they looking for the one, a man to make their heart just race and pound but no matter how hard they search, that man just can't be found
Do they lay in their lonely bed, staring out into the night, wishing they could find the one, that certain Mr Right
That missing piece of their puzzle, the piece to make their life complete, the other side of their coin, a love that can't be beat
Someone to bring them flowers, to...

Do You Know Me? Because I Don't
Who am I?
Well that depends
On the hour at hand
The month perhaps?
Day?
Or the year maybe?
I am charming
I am strong
I am disagreeable
I am weak
I laugh and cry
Sob and moan
The same as everyone else
Although I'm very different
I know who I want to be
But I don't know who I am
What I can be
Or how to achieve it
But for now I'm a brother
Son
Friend
Mentor
My writes teeter on light and darkness
An eloquent eclipse of lyrics ...

All Hands On Deck (Loving Thy Neighbor As Thyself)
Some snort cocaine.
Some sell their bodies.
Some smoke meth.
Me?
Dont think for one second I haven't thought about all of these options at some point in my life.
Finding God was in itself a freedom from sin and a war for my future.
The pit is dark and consuming.
Reaching for a hand that never comes, keeping faith that its all in Gods timing and one day it will. Smiling so I'm not a disease that's contagious to others trying to climb these slimy walls.
I want you to smile today, truly smile.
I want you to...
Some sell their bodies.
Some smoke meth.
Me?
Dont think for one second I haven't thought about all of these options at some point in my life.
Finding God was in itself a freedom from sin and a war for my future.
The pit is dark and consuming.

Sale Never Pending (Loving Thy Neighbor As Thyself)
Its funny isn't it?
Laughing at the helpless, poking bears because you rest assured in the continual response of their sugar glider hearts. So you line the pockets of the rich while people are made to feel helpless and miserable.
You have stolen everything, and you sit in your corner laughing as if they are stupid fools.
A freak show you never want to rise.
But in truth, she and others know the truth.
And the truth is, softness is an undesired response that you hate. Thresholds of your torture are only extended by those totured because truly,...

Flint and Steel
They were the flint and steel that came together and struck the spark that landed in that dismel sodden moss of my being.
That spark found the dry moss and began to smolder. Can I grow the smolder to a flame?
I pray that I can.

Feeling some kinda way
I felt the burn when it hit my side.
Doctors said im lucky to be alive.
Trying to make a better way, get out of strife.
Guess it doesn't go away welcome to life.

"What would your superpower be?“
One morning,
while sitting crossed legged,
on second floor carpeted space.
I said
"I want to eat all the plastic
and turn it to fresh energy.
That would be my superpower."
And you said,
"I'd like to never die."
and he said
"I'd like to shoot electric fire beams,"
and another wanted gills,
and one wanted to control air,
and one wanted to be able to fly in it,
and one said their only power
would maybe be to be green
or perhaps to be invisible all together.
She and I smiled at each other, ...

Goodbye
Everyones here....its almost time....
We've gathered together to bid you goodbye..
In this room the closet family is gathered
To comfort each others hearts that have shattered
All the pues are filled with family and friends
They've made it to see you to the very end..
Each one you touched in some special way
They wouldn't miss seeing you on the last day
Everyone will say their goodbyes
With so many tears and so many cries
Everyone will ask "are you ok"?
What I really want is for you to go away
They'll show pictures...
