Becoming A Man
Stepping out in the darkness of a hot night
Looking for something to fight
I need a target for my expanding sense of justice
And if you think you're a bad man
It just might be you
I met a man in Tennessee who thought it made him tough
To beat on his boy and his wife
I showed him the error of his ways
A .45 that took him to his grave
And went on my way feeling noble
And true
To myself and what I believed
There was nothing that I couldn't be
A good man with my pure conviction
I should have seen that it was only fiction ...

no strangers
each person
walking,
moving
on the
busy
sidewalk,
so many
happy
smiling
faces
in the
bright
morning
sun,
not looking
like
strangers
at all,
coming near,
passing
and then
more new
smiling
happy
faces not
looking like
strangers
at all.

let the

the mind,
let those

whether
outrageous

give them
merit and
substance.

distant shores
i stand
easily
on sand,
watching
the waves
come
and go,
back and
forth,
my soul
fantasizes
about going
places,
and as i
stand at
the
beginning
of my
world,
i imagine
touching
those
distant
shores.

midnight breeze
the lifeless
candle
could not
show its
breath
on the
wall,
but the
night was
smooth even
without hope
or faith,
night words
left thoughts
in many
minds,
imagination
awake,
going like
a midnight
breeze.

Look To The Skies For A Chance
I can hear you pant
across the skies
hidden in your room
taking refuge
in the body
to lighten the mind
There is wisdom to be found
in that place
and yet we act in haste
the suspicions of ego
ruining a perfectly good thing
I am not immune
from destroying myself
by challenging the natural flow
of tears that are rivers
some laced with pain
and some filled with laughter
Maybe it isn't a curse to be this sensitive
feeling the extremes
the height of love
and the withdrawal
for...

Haunted Voyage
Journey me.
Unearth my mysterious wonders.
Nestled below my aching blunders.
In the dark damp recess's
of my heart,
Is what is finished before it started.
Heart moss,
garnish's the deep losses.
Elapsed chances catches your eye.
Reasons exist in my black vault of lies.
My mistakes are electric with message
An invite to board my soul's wreckage.
And succumb to my haunted voyage.
Unearth my mysterious wonders.
Nestled below my aching blunders.
In the dark damp recess's
of my heart,
Is what is finished before it started.
Heart moss,
garnish's the deep losses.
Elapsed chances catches your eye.
Reasons exist in my black vault of lies.
My mistakes are electric with message
An invite to board my soul's wreckage.
And succumb to my haunted voyage.

Warhol of Love
Warhol of Love
“Your bed sheets are tangled as though you’d just come in from a drunk. You must drink like a fish to have let your bed get into such a disarray.”
“I am a social drinker. Just a glass of Pinot Noir gets me through the night.”
“In the spirit of the women’s temperance society I look askance at men who need alcohol to make their nights placid. Is the liquor a red herring for a deeper existential angst such as a conflict between the id and the superego?”
“Not at all. My self-esteem is just fine why thank you.”
“I see you...

I don't know
I don't know what to say.
Sure I'm feelin' so low.
The clouds are turnin' me grey
And I don't know where to go.
I been holdin' on tight
To the red dragon's tail
With every muscle I might
For I was fated to fail.
I've been cast to the earth.
Where I dwell in the dirt.
Everything is for real.
But all I feel is the hurt.
Left behind by the wind
My mind was flyin' too high
The sun was burnin' my wings
Rejected by the sky
So I settle for soil
Where I'm doin' my time ...
Sure I'm feelin' so low.
The clouds are turnin' me grey
And I don't know where to go.
I been holdin' on tight
To the red dragon's tail
With every muscle I might
For I was fated to fail.
I've been cast to the earth.
Where I dwell in the dirt.
Everything is for real.
But all I feel is the hurt.
Left behind by the wind
My mind was flyin' too high
The sun was burnin' my wings
Rejected by the sky
So I settle for soil
Where I'm doin' my time ...

In Between
I stand in the quiet space
Between feeling and knowing,
Between what I can't quite name
And the truth I hold deep within.
I am certain of me…….
Of the strength that carries me forward,
Of the soul that always finds a way
To rebuild, to create, to heal.
But still, there’s a question that lingers,
A weight that rests upon my chest,
Not of who I am, but of what this is.
Uncertain, and yet… I feel….
I don’t have the answers yet,
I will step back to find my breath.
In the quiet of my work, I will know
In time, the pieces...
Between feeling and knowing,
Between what I can't quite name
And the truth I hold deep within.
I am certain of me…….
Of the strength that carries me forward,
Of the soul that always finds a way
To rebuild, to create, to heal.
But still, there’s a question that lingers,
A weight that rests upon my chest,
Not of who I am, but of what this is.
Uncertain, and yet… I feel….
I don’t have the answers yet,
I will step back to find my breath.
In the quiet of my work, I will know
In time, the pieces...

we become
