a simple puppet
look, I live on a hill
sometimes I can walk up it
but sometimes I can’t
help falling down
sometimes I can walk up it
but sometimes I can’t
help falling down

Mistake
no gate jeeper
in slips the grim reaper
just strip me bare
cut me without a care
in this mortuary joint
do you finally get the point
no longer wish to face the day
let this all fade away
jumping from the boat
with a lnife at my throat
there is little emotion
as i'm gathered by the ocean
in my mind i'm running up a hill
cause if i stand still
these dark rhoughts overtake
leaving me to make another suicide mistake
in slips the grim reaper
just strip me bare
cut me without a care
in this mortuary joint
do you finally get the point
no longer wish to face the day
let this all fade away
jumping from the boat
with a lnife at my throat
there is little emotion
as i'm gathered by the ocean
in my mind i'm running up a hill
cause if i stand still
these dark rhoughts overtake
leaving me to make another suicide mistake

black and blue
like the conductor of
a train moving backwards
the unsure movement
of words in your mouth
the blind eye of a needle
the moon hanging from
the noose of the night
sky
the eloquence of a cat
napping on a winters
day
the gift of not sharing
with others what is
rightfully yours
the knowledge that the
war to end all wars was
only the prelude to a
greater war
walking sullenly through
pasture trying not to
step in cow shit
ignoring the sun ...

Just Hold My Hand
Just Hold My Hand
What I
Meant
To say
In my
Wandering
Mind
Was that
Being
With you
Is a favor.
It's undeserved
That you
Share your time
And I know
That you
Only want
Safer.
Your life
Is your own;
You owe
Nothing
To me,
And
Your days
Are yours
To command.
If only
You'll spend
A few here
With me,
We'll talk
While you
Just
Hold my hand.

Big Black Bird
Madness
Humming, an old woman rocks herself
A man repeats a word again and again
Two older women are fighting for a doll
Somewhere a. radio is blaring loud
Another ordinary day begins as usual
And I am part of this community of fate
My new home is a caring home
Defect entity
A thinking mind and a loving heart
Locked in a frail disabled body
One of God"s abandoned children
Superfluous and useless for society
Mercíless sorted out and deported
A deeply desperate fallen angel
With unsuitable disheveled wings ...

new year (same issues)
here
it is,
a brand
new year,
and
unfortunately
i carried
with me
now
the same
pain that
i had
hoped
to leave
behind
with the
old year.

The Slow Fade Of Confidence
There was a time
he never thought about it,
it came
(and so did he)
automatically...
He reveled in the opportunity
-the unspoken attraction
and the subsequent reaction
provoked by a chance meeting
or finding common ground
among a former acquaintance
The excitement of discovery
was motivation enough
and he grew to appreciate
the contrasts of others
- the differing shapes and movements
that offered that seal of delight
He wasn't reckless, by any means
or even someone who played the game ...

Wish I Could Stay In This Old House
I wish I could stay
in this old house...
but I can't because
there are too many
memories in here.
in this old house...
