Pleasure and Pain
it’s so mysterious how pleasure compliments pain so well,
for without them both there would be no story to tell.
so please listen to the words that are here to follow,
so you can see how my life lessons were a contribution from my trials and sorrow.
if it wasn’t for the times i had to go without,
i wouldn’t have a testimony or a reason to shout.
if it wasn’t for those breakups ive endured,
My heart would still be virgin, but now its matured.
if it wasn’t for the moments i felt forsaken,
i wouldn’t appreciate my value , no...

Integrity
How many words does it take to apologize?
How many words to say I love you?
Nothing more than action...
How many words to say I love you?
Nothing more than action...

FROM THE DIRT
FROM THE DIRT
I was born from the dirt
and I shall return to the dirt
as I shed this sheath of disbelief
dead and scorned during eternity brief
Torn and reborn from dismembered embers
of memories shattered and scattered
forever to never be found and bound
buried deep in a hole in the ground
No more rushing crazy sickening hurt
as I'm pushing up daisies with my Dick
...FROM THE DIRT...
I was born from the dirt

No more rushing crazy sickening hurt
as I'm pushing up daisies with my Dick

A History of Violence
There’s no forgiveness for an aging outlaw,
Even if he has given up his ways,
For a known thief and murderer,
Redemption can feel like disgrace…
He gave up the drinking and the killing,
He became a farmer and raised a family,
And all because of the love for a woman,
Who taught him in the ways of morality.
But as destiny would have it,
William lost his wife to disease,
And though life became difficult,
He still sought for internal peace.
Then as his farm began to fail,

the fifth noble truth
it isn't what
we do that
brings value

it is our being
that brings

When the masks fall
The theater was silent
The stage was set
A thousand eyes examining its slightest tremble
Made it seem like glowing with anticipation
In a circle all around the stage they sit
Under the starlit sky
A beautiful summer night carries them to a land of dreams
As the actors appear and the play begins
They are moving forward, coming from the south and facing towards the north
In slow motion they crawl
On their hands and their feet and the movement of them all
Seems like the wind trying to move a stone
This goes on for an...

Field of the yellow rose
I went to the woods and sat near a brook today.
I wondered what it would be like to watch you run and play.
As I drifted into thought I drifted into dream.
I awoke in a field of yellow roses standing near a stream.
As I looked around, I saw children running here and there.
I asked them where are your parents or the one for whom you are under care.
All of them smiled and pointed towards a small boy sitting with his feet drifting in the water.
I asked him who was watching over the children he said me, it's the will of my father.
I sat beside...

Life On Hold
Time is passing so slowly.....
Facing the future armed with uncertainty,
I pray the absence of normality makes everyday the same.
No longer to deny my mistakes,
I know where to place the blame.
So I try to make the best of this situation,
stripped of all my dignity,
still I maintain my frustration deep within my mind.
Behind these bars I am able to keep my sanity.
For however long this must be,
my time will be spent focusing on tomorrow...

All-American Immigrants
Let freedom flay
our gluttonous memory
Replay forgotten history;
an infant survives only
by fleeing his country
Religious freedom
birthed on new soil
of humble beginnings--
natives opening hands
as wings to immigrants
Let it sever callous minds
greed, apathy
self-serving hypocrisy
resource-driven profit
over aesthetic beauty
Let freedom flay

Liquid Night
Night clubs, movies,
neon signs and rubies,
The stars shined like rhinestones in the sky.
Smooth laughter, cheap perfume
soft lies, electric bloom,
cigarette smoke filled up the room.
He tried to sleep
for seven days.
He tried to sleep
but stayed awake.
Six days went by.
On the seventh night
he saw the snake.
Standing,
waiting by the lake.
Don’t be afraid
to heal your ache,
If you’re afraid,
your soul he’ll break.
Seven days went by.

Soul•Less
May I love you madly like a boy?
Kiss you sadly?
Feed you tears and drink your skin?
Invite myself right in?
May I?
Her
Half-child voice falls on my head like warmest ocean waves
Gently and deliberately drowning me
And willingly I drown
If I ask politely
Will you watch as I die nightly?
Will you think me tactless if I act less like the man I am?
Her
Half-closed eyes like those on a tired tigress
Gently and deliberately melt my bulletproof mirrorshades
And
Knowingly
Lovingly
Peer inside at my real eyes ...
Kiss you sadly?
Feed you tears and drink your skin?
Invite myself right in?
May I?
Her
Half-child voice falls on my head like warmest ocean waves
Gently and deliberately drowning me
And willingly I drown

Will you watch as I die nightly?

Half-closed eyes like those on a tired tigress
