Negative Reinforcement
Lost in the view of the slants of uncertainty
Put on the defense as I go to trial
Judgement made against me
Presumed to suggest I'm lost if I don't stress
While your worry aims to play me as a puppet
Gas-lit by the fears of the worst you assume
Is this love? The way you play me
Like I'm lacking a backbone for compromise
Caught in the web of the marionette
With strings made of money
Gifts of condition to control
Manipulate as you motivate by way of the will to break
Negative reinforcements instigates aggression ...

Dysfunctional
Caught somewhere in the in between
Lost for these barriers of communication
Insisting on the will to misunderstand
You say you know best cause you know what worked for you
Yet we all self-sabotage in our own way
Is this your offer of guidance or control?
Nevertheless I'm at the mercy of the lender
Chisel me out of stone
Beat me up and call it motivation
Are you harnessing the better attributes of who I am
Or trying to make me think like you
When your sense of what is common is confined to your own experience ...

Rainy Rainbow Boulevards
walk with me darling
down the boulevard
water colors drip(ping)
paints the streets devine
hazy shade of rainbows
dances as you stir you coffee
splashes of color to grey lives
emeralds twinkle in your smiling eyes
as we stroll down the lane
hand in hand...like an old song
playing on the radio,
our touch is so familiar to the dream
as we amble together
getting lost in puddles of paint
splashes of color...against the streets
so plain
down the boulevard
water colors drip(ping)
paints the streets devine
hazy shade of rainbows
dances as you stir you coffee
splashes of color to grey lives
emeralds twinkle in your smiling eyes
as we stroll down the lane
hand in hand...like an old song
playing on the radio,
our touch is so familiar to the dream
as we amble together
getting lost in puddles of paint
splashes of color...against the streets
so plain

Ellis Island of the Mind
Ellis Island of the Mind
My wife was the bride of a thousand woes
who wore her blouse for modest memories
that gathered under cotton clouds
of smoke and tears.
Her body was a diary written
in sanguine ink to be legible
for the blind who read
the Braille of her heart
where the broken thorns
of her past are embedded
in her soul forever.
Her immigrant eyes dreamed in tears
of her bubbie who told her
about tea houses in the neighborhood
called Little Russia on the banks
of the Hudson River
where...

One’s Love Is Another’s Lie
Can I capture her essence in a phrase?
When words are a poor substitute for love
Every moment is a gift descending from above
In her arms is how I spend my days
Surely romance is more than just a phase
I've yet to master the art of sustaining the fire
Meaning lost for methods of a fabricated verse
Strange harmonies sung when love and death purse
My heart beats in broken utterances of desire
She is a dream come true, I am a dream made liar
My heart is a developing photograph taken and exposed
She is the light in a split-second...

More Than Angels 2
Our hearts wage war
Indecisive for perspectives
Eyes fractured
Between what we see
And what we yearn for
Retreating to colloquial cliches
Without a word to suffice the reality of things
Poorly writ theologies like a cloaked way to blame God
What is death but rebirth
Yet our ethereal hopes can seem so intangible
When our fight fails
We find our pride is a lost cause
Our strength is diminished for what we cannot control
Disease is not the authoring of the divine
Yet all is a tool when the body gives ...

Broken Garden
I stop before I start
Trying put my heart into words
More than just an emotion fabricated
But a reflection I aim to illustrate
Like a word sketch yearning to capture essence
To tell of what grace I see
You are the stitch that holds it all together
Mending scars with a touch
From uncertain beginnings
Time and commitment have brought us to this place
Despite family fractures and restructuring
You are a unique and unparalleled embrace
We are cut like diamonds from coal
Reset in hearts of gold
You are the frame upon...

Nothing’s Fair In Life and War
What's to be said to highlight the obvious depiction
When a picture says it all
Nevertheless, I reflect on this journey
Out on a limb, interchangeable hearts
Trying to find the balance despite the times we fall
Mutual destinations of longing compass counterparts
Northward bound wanderers
Across this rough terrain
Waiting for the sun to shine again
As we wait out the invisible rain
When it does it pours, they say
As gravity pulls down the sky
And our loved ones evaporate, passing away
For reasons we don't know why ...

Beautiful By Association
Where do I begin again
When the words don't come like they use to
After the thought of all we've yet
And have already gone through
Instrumental in the orchestration
I found myself when I fell in love with you
This life is what we make of it in what we do
More than passing, making meaning of every moment
You are my pulse and life support
Feeling our way around in the dark
Despite all that lays claim to be our loves cessation
Everything is better when I'm with you
Everything is beautiful by association
...

You Are My Heart
I Nathan take thee Brande to be my lawfully wedded wife, as one flesh mended
As every former love has been forsaken and every former sorrow now is ended
Our two hearts beating as one, to call you my own and embrace you as my lungs do my every breath
Our love to mark the beginning of us proceeding our self-death
In the harmony of our lifelong love song, from this day forward and beyond
For better or for worse, knowing our tears are temporal as our loneliness is gone
Even through the worst, you are my summer's day on a winter night
Dispelling...
As every former love has been forsaken and every former sorrow now is ended
Our two hearts beating as one, to call you my own and embrace you as my lungs do my every breath

For better or for worse, knowing our tears are temporal as our loneliness is gone

More Than Words
Perception relegated to opinion
Gavel eyes and jealous hearts
Uttering blank stares
With empty confession
Time will tell what we tell it to
Predetermined by choice
Weightless and blind
We will be underestimated
Regain focus as we define
When love is more than just a good line
More than words, I found my voice
All that matters is what we know
Despite what others think
Lulled away we sleep
As our days pass by, we dream as we blink
As to be a nightmare or hope come true
Contending against the resistance
Of all...
Gavel eyes and jealous hearts
Uttering blank stares
With empty confession
Time will tell what we tell it to
Predetermined by choice
Weightless and blind
We will be underestimated
Regain focus as we define
When love is more than just a good line
More than words, I found my voice
All that matters is what we know
Despite what others think
Lulled away we sleep
As our days pass by, we dream as we blink
As to be a nightmare or hope come true
Contending against the resistance
Of all...
