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

I Love People
Who the fuck are you
Trying to fuck with?
Since you‘re nothing
But a fuckwit
I don‘t wanna be your friend
I want to put your life to an end
The more I know
The more it‘s enough
I gotta say
People piss me off
The more I know
The more it‘s enough
I gotta be honest with you
You really piss me the fuck off!
From the cradle
To the cave
You‘re such a piece of trash
Degenerate, every day!
Live and let die
I‘d rather choose the latter
The sooner you‘re dead
My heart...

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...

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...

As a muse...
I'd softly whisper in the poet's ear:
"Let your words flow like rivers
of dreams,
for within you lies the magic
to shape worlds.
Embrace the emotions
that stir your soul
and paint them with the colors
of your heart.
Each line you craft is a step
towards eternity,
where your voice will echo forever.
Trust in your gift,
for your rhymes hold the power
to transcend time
and touch the hearts."

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 ...

Valentine's Plea
Valentine's day sucks
For those who are alone..
Just like me..
So I'm writing this poem.
My friends laugh
And call me stupid..
Because I'm not a big believer
In the one called cupid!
I've been on some sites
And I'm still looking..
So If I sound interesting
Let's do a booking! (go for a date)
I'm a hopeless romantic
To the core..
And the more you get to know me
My feelings will outpour
So if you're looking for someone
Who's tall and handsome
Please let me know,
I won't...

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
