Teenagers
A slow kiss
clothes peeling off
bodies smooth
sliding close
in tune with the music
on the car radio.
Shirt buttoned wrong
pants zipper down
hair all a mess
mom and dad frown
girl gets pregnant
shotgun wedding bound.

traveler'd regret
Traveler's regrets
He had been a sailor all his life, a traveler trying to find
the boy he left behind in the haste of becoming an adult.
An autumnal leaf falls into a stream, follows its course
but sometimes, there is a tiny inlet where the leaf gets stuck with other debris before getting loose again and drifting where the stream meets, a river that ends in the sea, becomes a mud bank full of nutrient-attracting
red snappers.
Often, he senses the pain the world suffers at the pain of
the futility of life, to stop for a moment contemplating

Twins
40 years ago I let go of the twin that lived inside of me
My twin was a nice person and feared upsetting anyone
hence he had no opinion relying on me being called
unpleasant names.
He was also a heavy drinker and had no respect for women's feelings thinking it was funny when they threw things at me, Yes, it was me who had to take the blame
for his foolish behavior.
I fled in a night of rain, at a time when he would sit in a bar entertaining people (with my money) yes, he was
well-liked and droll, with a deep well of funny jokes
how...

Blind Date
There was no tingle of anticipation
No looking forward to him
Just thought that I should go
And meet a man unknown to me
fate had plans, as the stars aligned
my friend’s date and mine both blind
chemistry did spark we connected
our dates were sweet as ice-creams
so surrender we did to fate’s comedy
in and out of candy and flowers
chocolates and murmured promises
pillow talks far beyond the night
ten years later he walked by
I couldn’t remember his name
We were vague memories
Of misspent youth.
No looking forward to him

And meet a man unknown to me

in and out of candy and flowers
chocolates and murmured promises
pillow talks far beyond the night
ten years later he walked by
I couldn’t remember his name
We were vague memories
Of misspent youth.

Wintergreen
I remember at fifteen
Blinking lights
Color of wintergreen
Above a summer night
Underneath a June twilight
On a ride steering
The Ferris Wheel
Slow loud spins
Feeling alive
Elevated to the top
Loving life
Way up high In the sky
Laughing you and I
Eighties painted eyes
Red feathers in my hair
Glancing at you
Trying not to stare
Wondering if
You'll make a move
Or will it be me
Your hand on my knee
We're spinning around
Inventing...

writings in books
Little girl curled up with her maroon poetry book
Small dog eared pages pinched with care
Tear stained paper from nights that haunt
The faint names barely legible because she
Gently and with the softest precision in pencil
Wrote names by the ones that were inspiring
Poetry the only way to find the words
Poetry was the only way out of her mind
Small dog eared pages pinched with care
Tear stained paper from nights that haunt
The faint names barely legible because she
Gently and with the softest precision in pencil
Wrote names by the ones that were inspiring
Poetry the only way to find the words
Poetry was the only way out of her mind

A nuclear war wished for
There is among the youth of the West an ingrained boredom
a hidden wish to swipe away from the old world they live in
they can’t see for mist on windows and need to clear the view
the dream of an exploding world where they will be survivors.
If a few survive. they will soon wish they hadn’t the destruction

a few ulcerated dogs will die of starvation.

May Flowers
Retrieve your knife from the wound
Pick the salt out
Scabs and all, I'll rust with all my heart
Worn out
and it calls
Something keeps me back in that room
Purple so deep
It looked black in
the dark
And it calls
May flowers will bloom soon
and I'll be gone
but I'll call
Pick the salt out
Scabs and all, I'll rust with all my heart
Worn out
and it calls
Something keeps me back in that room
Purple so deep
It looked black in
the dark
And it calls
May flowers will bloom soon
and I'll be gone
but I'll call

Gotta know your name
I see you walking your dog
I see you petting the old stray cat
I see you feeding the birds
I gotta know your name
I know you don’t have a girlfriend
I know you don’t have a boyfriend either
I know you live on my street
I gotta know your name
Why oh why
Can’t I just get up the courage to ask
Your face looks really, really kind
But what if you think I’m stupid trash
I see you walking the beach
I see you talk to the guy on the corner
I see the dreams in your eyes
I gotta know your name
I know...
I see you petting the old stray cat
I see you feeding the birds
I gotta know your name
I know you don’t have a girlfriend
I know you don’t have a boyfriend either
I know you live on my street
I gotta know your name
Why oh why
Can’t I just get up the courage to ask
Your face looks really, really kind
But what if you think I’m stupid trash
I see you walking the beach
I see you talk to the guy on the corner
I see the dreams in your eyes
I gotta know your name

Teenage Kicks (see Author's Note)
The Village Idiot
6 children in the village, one went missing
5 children in the village, one went missing
4 children in the village, one went missing
3 children in the village, one went missing
2 children in the village, one went missing
1 child in the village and her parents went missing.
Shadow Lands
The old man had lived here
His shadow his only friend.
He befriended the children,
Five year olds in the rafters
Dead soldiers in the loft.
We were warned not to go there
Our parents kept us in.
Now...
6 children in the village, one went missing
5 children in the village, one went missing
4 children in the village, one went missing
3 children in the village, one went missing
2 children in the village, one went missing
1 child in the village and her parents went missing.

Dead soldiers in the loft.

Unfit For Daylight (Defiance Of Youth)
There is no reason not to obey
There is no reason not to obey
Don't fight the power
Don't fight the power
Under the cover of our virtue
We lie to you, we lie to you
Every time I step outside I'm dancing in the moonlight
Even though deep down inside I feel the burn of twilight
Everywhere around the world
Resistance getting stronger
Little boys and little girls
The future is getting nearer
There is a reason not to obey
Fight the power, fight the power
There is no reason not to obey
Don't fight the power
Don't fight the power
Under the cover of our virtue
We lie to you, we lie to you
Every time I step outside I'm dancing in the moonlight
Even though deep down inside I feel the burn of twilight
Everywhere around the world
Resistance getting stronger
Little boys and little girls
The future is getting nearer
There is a reason not to obey
Fight the power, fight the power

Pirate Irish Twins
It was always just the two of us
Just you and me, pirates in our dreams
Co- Captains on anything resembling a ship
Eating stolen bread and sweets
Homeless and running around the castle of dreams
Feral brats who fought and cut the world right back
Older sister and little brother always
They'd gimace when calling us irish twins
Cause we're not even a year apart
There's a scar across my nose from your hand
You have a scar on your cheek from mine
I never thought I'd stand here today
Holding the pieces of my soul because of you
We're...
Just you and me, pirates in our dreams
Co- Captains on anything resembling a ship
Eating stolen bread and sweets
Homeless and running around the castle of dreams
Feral brats who fought and cut the world right back
Older sister and little brother always
They'd gimace when calling us irish twins
Cause we're not even a year apart
There's a scar across my nose from your hand
You have a scar on your cheek from mine
I never thought I'd stand here today
Holding the pieces of my soul because of you
We're...
