Listen
A torn photograph of the past
Foggy thoughts return inside
Moments that could never last
Salty words clash with pride
Whispers are growing louder
Time can wait without panic
Strung out on strange powder
Making the situation frantic
Old school analog creatures
Living within this digital age
Gruff with honest features
Taught from a different page
Sometimes change is hard
When no one stops to listen
Foggy thoughts return inside
Moments that could never last
Salty words clash with pride
Whispers are growing louder
Time can wait without panic
Strung out on strange powder
Making the situation frantic
Old school analog creatures
Living within this digital age
Gruff with honest features
Taught from a different page
Sometimes change is hard
When no one stops to listen

Last Rainbow
I am the rainbow after your storm
The sky is not of slate grey
It is darker, unrelenting, menacing
it summons the lightning
wicked in its invention
You see it
Before you hear the destruction
You feel it
Through the concrete construction
There's no time to run from the devastation
Boom!
Crack!
Pow!
What is left now?
The sun
Peaks its head out for fun
Illuminating the particles in the sky
Seeing all the colors way up high
Wish on...

OLD WRITING TRUTHS NEEDED TODAY
NOTES
As I was going through old files,
papers, and notes from college days
I came across a graduate course
folder with the following writing tips.
1. Don't try to guess what people want to hear
from you; first, figure out what you have to say.
2. Rejection is a sure sign you are a serious writer.
3. Original thoughts flow quickly; borrowed ones don't.
4. Writing can, and does, take place at any time or place.
5. Few critics are on the Bestseller List.
6. You can't write effectively out of ignorance.
7. The first quality of a...

A Rhyme Along for Sir Solomon
Solomon_Song and his perfect rhymes
Will put a smile on your face every time
He’s quick with the trivia too
I don’t know about you
But I look forward to his review
Of my poems
‘Cuz I know know he’ll bring it home
With a poem of his own
He’s generous with the compliments
Quoting his favorite elements
Of what you’ve written
I’m quite smitten
With his fine qualities
And the way he rhymes with ease

On Reading Ginsburg’s “Howl”
Once, I possessed an open mind,
which I assure you was my own.
I used it to read Ginsberg’s “Howl”.
Well, I don’t wish to be unkind
but those words seemed randomly sown.
my first reaction was a scowl.
So I tried a second reading.
His words looked clipped and pasted;
mashed to the page with cruel force.
Was he desperate? Was he bleeding?
Or perhaps just strangely wasted
by some bizarre urban remorse?
Was there a narrative to track,
or should I have even bothered to try?
Words like photos pinned up on a board ...
which I assure you was my own.

String Instruments
What's the point of so many rhythmic lines?...
Row, rhyme and rum
They are just waves in the same sea.
Seagull murmurs
like someone singing a fado or two
or it will come to sing much later.
Arrange drawers, sticks and prints
from left to right in an order
almost alphabetical.
Unhinged fairies blessing the sound
of a lute, a guitar and a banjo.
Without wings, without bones, like angels!
Pain descriptive nonconformities
that passes through the brain shamelessly
Bloodlust of a dark predator.

Tinseltown (collab with Vision_of_insanity)
Plastic people, faux life
Celebrities shine,
Amongst the pain & strife
An illusion of a directors thoughts
Cesspool in Eden
Pleasing the studio boss
Artificial in everything that's seen
Pictures of beauty
Reality is a dream
Never think more then you know
A testament to your image
Look your best, before the show
Wading in a shallow pool
Drink it up like a fool.
Trees a plenty and lost inside.
A forest, crazies, come to hide.
Hollywood, shining bright.
The stars, flickering, through...

REBEL
Before reading the following, please note, this is by no means written to intimidate you. No, it isn't written to test you either. Even though the title might suggest otherwise.
All rise
He's a human being?
Oh, shut it..
Just look at him..
Nothing is as it seems..
I thought I figured it all out..
I did..
I killed it..
Buried it..
Although it is alive inside..
Fuck tobacco free zones
I am a Rebel..
Who walk freely on foot in the deserts
I don't need a Camel..

Angel, Devil
I feel the joy of the self inflicted
The joy and madness righteously conflicted
All my words, they're contradicted
When from my soul my heart's evicted
I live by the standards other set
I set myself up to lose the bet
When the silence claims me, there are regrets
Things pushed down, I can't forget
Lost in words, an illusion of perfection
I've perfected the perfect rejection
My identity split into fragments, sections
When the only truth is that I am looking for a connection
Angel, Devil on my shoulder ...
The joy and madness righteously conflicted
All my words, they're contradicted
When from my soul my heart's evicted
I live by the standards other set
I set myself up to lose the bet
When the silence claims me, there are regrets
Things pushed down, I can't forget
Lost in words, an illusion of perfection
I've perfected the perfect rejection
My identity split into fragments, sections
When the only truth is that I am looking for a connection

how does your city grow
city was grey of an evening
until there was electricity and neon
adverts and car lights
and lamp posts, and oh, I don’t know
perhaps pretty maids all in a row
