Tear in Heaven
Something about dropping a tear into heaven
Galaxy away see a small hole
Floating and spinning
On the horizon
Stand like skywalker
Smaller than a pebble
Drops down from above
Must be from heaven
Set my eye see a smile in the crowd
Feet set in position
Fight through the starts
Know destiny in you
Drops of heaven drizzling on me
Shots of infamy or destiny
Who decides is me and my god
Not a case of doing right by Cure
Hypnotized by baptism
Of false satans and gods ...

What One Might Say Happens To Be The Real Low Blow
She got into the ring.
Someone accused her of humping her partners.
She stood there totally shocked.

It was great
How was practice?”
Oh I don’t mean to brag,
But I was the human punching bag
My lip was grazed
My ribs, I’m shocked
They still make a cage
“It was great”
I should’ve ate before,
Maybe I would’ve done better then
I suppose I’ll forgive myself today for the ache
Until the pain goes away
Another practice begins, next time I’ll win
Oh I don’t mean to brag,
But I was the human punching bag
My lip was grazed
My ribs, I’m shocked
They still make a cage
“It was great”
I should’ve ate before,
Maybe I would’ve done better then
I suppose I’ll forgive myself today for the ache
Until the pain goes away
Another practice begins, next time I’ll win

After He Stepped Out Of The Cabin
Rick stepped outside and
glanced at the sunset before
he suddenly heard a splash.
Then, he saw Maggie
taking a swim before she
dried off and went back inside.

Defeated
What have I seen?
not actually sure
a losing team
is there a cure?
Batters could not hit
pitcher let up many runs
balls popping out of mitts
fans annoyed; this was no fun
No hope for them
fans have gone away
behind by 10
maybe some other day
Fans today were shedding tears
future days may bring applause & cheers

Legs
Whistle screams to sound the beginning
of these legs around this roaring place.
Dirt will fly, up to the sky while
the horses shout peeling about.
Dragging the curves from end to end
exhaling dark elements from tail pipes end.
Smacking pavement, clashing metal,
rolling all over this circular shelter.
Winds blow by, swirling between sprinters
shining light under this darkened drive.
Nearing the closing colorful papers wave
the striders past the line of eyes posing.
Screeching halt, legs are doll, ...
of these legs around this roaring place.
Dirt will fly, up to the sky while
the horses shout peeling about.
Dragging the curves from end to end
exhaling dark elements from tail pipes end.
Smacking pavement, clashing metal,
rolling all over this circular shelter.
Winds blow by, swirling between sprinters
shining light under this darkened drive.
Nearing the closing colorful papers wave
the striders past the line of eyes posing.
Screeching halt, legs are doll, ...

Reset
My heart is racing
My body is aching
One punch
Kick
Block
My sweat pours down my face
I’m still aching
The mentality of a warrior
Runs through my veins
I have the reins
Fighting has been my way of coping
I feel more in control
When I am sore
I fight harder
Another four punch combo
Ending with a KO
When life gets me down
I tend to frown thinking of the past
But I can’t do that
I have to look past what’s been done
And know that I can move on
So one punch
Two punch
Block ...
My body is aching
One punch
Kick
Block
My sweat pours down my face
I’m still aching
The mentality of a warrior
Runs through my veins
I have the reins
Fighting has been my way of coping
I feel more in control
When I am sore
I fight harder
Another four punch combo
Ending with a KO
When life gets me down
I tend to frown thinking of the past
But I can’t do that
I have to look past what’s been done
And know that I can move on
So one punch

To Be Humble
Humble is the word, it paves the way.
Humble every time, that I look at this race.
I’ver never been so proud and yet so ashamed.
Humble: the price that I pay, every day.
I wanna be God, since I deserve it.
Good at everything, since I’m worth it.
A record made? I may disturb it.
I should be first, or else I’m worthless.
It’s hard to walk this rocky road.
I pay in sweat and tears and hope.
„I shall be better”, is what I told.
I won’t accept, that I’m no gold.
Since middle class is not my standard.
Since I’m the...

The Relay Race/ Teacherly Era/ Archery Elate
I felt left alone
in my dusty study,
but my aide had an idea.
We asked a friend to refind
her sporting form, from years before.
We had to layer up early for the relay.
We filed into a field.
It was a pest to step around pets,
coming to a stop at the right spot;
We had to be silent, listen, then enlist
other athletes for the race, with care;
those who would begin by being fair,
for to live under the veil of evil is vile!
Starting off on a good note set the right tone.
When hewn
from stone, a trophy hits all the right...

Embracing The Aquatic - Heat 4
Summer, Saturday morning
hundreds of swimsuited kids
descend on their neighborhood,
or foes,
cabana club
and thus begins
the weekly swim meet.
Commencing with
brief warm up practice
followed by a long, tedious wait
for one's racing heat.
When at our home pool competing,
We'd spread our beach towels
on the grassy hill
overlooking the contest.
Biding our time
sunbathing, clowning around, and eating.
Mom brought chocolate covered donut sticks and boxes of strawberry Jello…our fingers and lips dyed...

Embracing The Aquatic - Heat 3
If we pay to use
the neighborhood pool,
you will join the swim team.”
A parental edict
we thought was real mean.
Getting up early
on Summer-break day's
Mounting old, purple
Schwinn bicycle,
slowly, reluctantly peddling…
sloth off to practice
for a Saturday meet
Beach towel, goggles
dangling ‘roun neck.
Wearing too brief,
light/darker blue-striped Speedo.
Splashers’ mandated
racing suit…
that if worn today,
would get me arrested.
Greeted each day
by smiley Coach Butch...
the neighborhood pool,
you will join the swim team.”
