No More Games
One day I stopped hating
I ceased all meaningless activity
I completed the circle
I set my sights straight
Like an arrow I flew
I stopped acting
I got tired of playing with you
Violence & destruction became my reason for living
My out, my excuse
What is your excuse?
Destruction
Without hate, without fear, without judgement
I am no better then you
No one knows this better then I do
I just got tired of playing parlor games
I ceased all meaningless activity
I completed the circle
I set my sights straight
Like an arrow I flew
I stopped acting
I got tired of playing with you
Violence & destruction became my reason for living
My out, my excuse
What is your excuse?
Destruction
Without hate, without fear, without judgement
I am no better then you
No one knows this better then I do
I just got tired of playing parlor games

Ode To Morrison
A black clad leather demon claiming to be the lizard king
Mr. Mojo Rising up on stage dancing in the summer rain
Doors are infinitely open to perception as he starts to sing
While young people bare witness to a world gone insane
Strange people are taking random drives in the moonlight
Ready to break on through waiting to reach the other side
A ceramic frog with a peace sign hanging over love street
While the city sleeps the truth is hidden in this soft parade
A simple ode to Morrison to reflect his influence on me
He taught me...

Lit Candle
I held a candle lit
For you to follow
You came close in fear of it
Scared to reveal what’s in the shadow
You ran to the light
Blew it out
Diminishing the spark
No one can see who you are
In the dark
You shed lonely tears
Not wanting to be held
Condemning all who want to hold you
Sending them to hell
Striking a match to light the wick
See all the tears shed behind it
The light that is held is an illusion you know
No one can be this good not even the white is...
For you to follow
You came close in fear of it
Scared to reveal what’s in the shadow
You ran to the light
Blew it out
Diminishing the spark
No one can see who you are
In the dark
You shed lonely tears
Not wanting to be held
Condemning all who want to hold you
Sending them to hell
Striking a match to light the wick
See all the tears shed behind it
The light that is held is an illusion you know
No one can be this good not even the white is...

A Lonely Heart Knows No Bounds
Every morning I’m greeted with the same kiss
A moment of regret
Mixed with the tinge of promise
Today might be the day
Forever doesn’t mean
You only exist in my dreams
A moment of regret
Mixed with the tinge of promise
Today might be the day
Forever doesn’t mean
You only exist in my dreams

Pulse
keeping in steady rhythm with the day
the energies wash over me and I awake
pulses of light interact with my soul
stirring it with information
guided by the earth's elements themselves
a positive reaction will return in kind
the earth responds to the vibrations I send out
if I'm having a bad day she knows
my negative energies will be corrected
by continuing to get a response from people and nature
soon realizing my error
my anxiety builds I feel for my touchstone
beautiful enegy is returned to me and I calm
the world...

WORDS I ALWAYS REMEMBER
WHEN
I was a small boy
my mom helped dress
me for going to school.
AS
I went out the door she
would always say, "Don't
forget to smile."
Through the years that admonition
has grown in importance;
not only have I learned that
a "Smile is a frown turned upside
down", I have learned more
lessons than I can remember.
SOME
lessons are...
...a smile reveals the state
of your heart,
...a smile says I am not a foe,
...a smile brightens a dark day,
...a smile is a gift to others...

paper boats
We who have comets as eyes,
leave us our voice in these voids
do not define me
The vanishing fairies
have told me to never leave
" do not repent our frolics, "
they tell me to walk light-footed
as they dance to sea music,
beguiled by them
The vanishing fairies sit by my side
their wings surround me as I speak
Tomorrow I will polish my three-tiered tiara
adjust it while the rain falls
and I write towards that point
within all horizons

Sol
The morning sun took my shadow for a walk.
It flowed over concrete,cars and grass.
Sometimes playing hide and seek with much larger shadows or stopping when I stopped to greet a friend and chat to its own shadow buddy.
Most times it was by my side,a trusted friend.
Quite often though it would be up front hoping to get to the cafe first before the other shadows did.
Or it would be loitering behind me, a truculent toddler in search of its tantrum.
Everyone has shadows.
Some can't find the sun.

Don't Quit
When you feel like the whole world is 🌍 against you don't quit, for it's not the end of your life. IT'S just human nature to feel that you just can't win, but yet you do win in the end 😉 by not giving up without a fight 😉 When you feel that you have to just settle down, for something else that has no real intentions of commitment and CONSISTENCY. 🤔 DON'T quit just because they don't have the intelligence, to know that they found the truth within a relationship that they say they been not getting. 🤨 Don't quit when things in your life, aren't what you...

Everyday is another opportunity to tell you, you brighten my world ....
It's not dark
It's not creepy
It's not weird sex
It's not what you expect from me
It's not creepy
It's not weird sex
It's not what you expect from me

IN THE MIDSUMMER HEAT
In the midsummer heat
our blues are in retreat.
Joie de vivre in the street,
the disco pounds its beat.
Dresses are less discreet;
bare legs and sandalled feet
roving eyes' gazes meet.
The flirtatious greet.
our blues are in retreat.
Joie de vivre in the street,
the disco pounds its beat.
Dresses are less discreet;
bare legs and sandalled feet
roving eyes' gazes meet.
The flirtatious greet.

Leaf Cadavers
The driving miniscule flakes of snow.
Confim the world is a shaken globe.
Dark brown leaf cadavers can still be seen.
Crumbled in death poking through the newborn powder.
The haunted silence is even louder.
Life touching death, unusually serene.
Ghosts of autumn yearn for snowy winter
For a short while, the white world is void of the sinister.
The wind inhales a frozen breath.
A frigid cold whisper upon my neck.
Exhalations of steam, blow at the iced vanilla trees.
Bird population take haven in the branches.
