Asking Jeeves
In nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters
conceived by the winds screaming solo
knuckles and stones rising what lingers
over graves of poets in herringbone
a thundering herd of narcissistic birds
wearing spit-shined shoes and stilettos
in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
asking Jeeves for a shoehorn
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves

in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves

Meeting In The Ladies Room II
Just a nighty reality check for the ladies, so listen up, we are in a new month and a new year, there are little offerings we can give our bodies to keep it functioning, to promote a healthy living.
Happy New Year to everyone.
We are in the season referred to, as Old Man Winter, the time the skin loses its hydration, the dry hands/feet, and crackling lips.
Ladies, to maintain that suppleness to the dermis skin you must use a less abrasive skin regiment, I must add, the proper way I would say, is to wash your face upon your Grand Rising, in...

River of Sorrow
All that you have, even all that you are,
Will one day be lost
If not already, 'tis yet to come
Each loss feeds a drop of sorrow
Into the stream that bubbles beneath the surface,
Coloring each day, each moment, in a slightly off-color hue
Until it grows into a raging torrent
That when least expected, bursts through with a stunning eruption of sadness,
Paralyzing the mind, the heart, the will to breathe
There is no escape - to wish it were otherwise
Is to wish to be other than human - ...

Paralyzing the mind, the heart, the will to breathe

Reality
You are the type that must always be right
You just refuse to see the other side
Tear down the truth and build up more lies
What will it take for you to realize
That time is not going to rewind
-So you can come back to reality
And see things for what they’re meant to be
So you can take back all anomalies
Like all the imperfections in me- (Chorus)
You are the hype that is never contrite
You just infuse with the devil inside
The path you choose can lead to your demise
What will it take for you to realize
...

The Aquarium
Welcome to the aquatic shed
the only way out is through.
Sharpened fins swim overhead,
dinky critters distract below.
Gaze upon fragmented life
where every stroke rehearsed.
The devoted watch with wearied eyes
as each relation is unearthed.
Tempered glass reflecting screens
showing this season’s outtakes.
We mourn behind the scenes
then laugh when the conveyor breaks.
So tunnel under bothered blue
or stand tall on mortal limbs.
If only impulse you can subdue
you can choose to sink or swim.

What You Want
I’ll never shine bright enough for you
try hard enough for you
fall far enough for you
fly high enough for you
I’ll never live like you want me to
think like you want me to
feel like you want me to
break like you want me to
-You say one thing and mean another
You only hear what you want
You think one thing, deny the other
You only see what is not- (Chorus1)
I’ll never be strong enough for you
suffer enough for you
give quite enough for you
take just enough for you
I’ll never speak like you...
try hard enough for you
fall far enough for you
fly high enough for you
I’ll never live like you want me to
think like you want me to
feel like you want me to
break like you want me to
-You say one thing and mean another
You only hear what you want
You think one thing, deny the other
You only see what is not- (Chorus1)
I’ll never be strong enough for you
suffer enough for you
give quite enough for you
take just enough for you
I’ll never speak like you...

Vast
I look into the vast pale blue sky
With travelling cloud giants passing by.
How small am I?
Crows squawk a foreboding language.
At the often absurdity of simply being human.
Trying to fit large ego's into tiny toned bodies.
Our problems pale as to the fate of the earth.
Denial never felt so good to the masses.
Climb out of your box.
And look around, wide eyed
At beauty's enormity in every species of life.
Give up your false theory
that the world revolves around you.
The world is vast, let's ensure it lasts.

Insane, Primal Attraction
Insane, primal attraction.
Depraved cycles and patterns.
Enslaved, psycho synapsis.
Obtained dice rolling travels.
Engage iso-macadam.
Sustain hiero-protraction.
Enraged tight rope mechanics.
Attain Eiffel, as status.
Engraved idol of magic.
The glazed eyeballs, entrancing.
To play spiraling madness.
It gauged dyno dynamics.
Amazed rival, proactive.
His brain, idle, imagines.
Betray, twice-fold ecstatic.
Persuade triumph, reactions.
Remain spiteful, for pageant.
Portray title,...

Deliberate Promotion
Deliberate promotion.
Acquisitive, devotion.
Articulate components.
Significance, remolded.
Continuous hypnosis.
Predicament, encoded.
Considerate involvement.
Fictitiousness, controlling.
Envisioning approaches.
Derivatives, awoken.
Elicited emotion.
Divisiveness, disposing.
Oblivion resulted.
Submissiveness, unnoticed.
Indifference discloses.
Configuring, impulsive.
Positioning exposes.
Equivalence, demoted.
Disinterest reproaches.

Easter
I live
Right beside
A church,
And,
How quick
The street
Does clear
After Easter service;
And remains so,
Till the next year.

Tasting Madness
screaming in sanity
laughing in madness
fears echoing in my head
pretending I'm real
but that's not how it feels
dissipating in solution
the science of confusion
three parts per million
life devolving in dissolution
and all that's left is reptilian
mindlessly basking in the sun
tongue darting out
tasting the madness
hoping it's safe to hunt
laughing in madness
fears echoing in my head
pretending I'm real
but that's not how it feels
dissipating in solution
the science of confusion
three parts per million
life devolving in dissolution
and all that's left is reptilian
mindlessly basking in the sun
tongue darting out
tasting the madness
hoping it's safe to hunt
