We live in a society that treats us as Pawns. I have no intentions in taking the bullet for the Kings of industry. I take no comfort in the twisted words of the political Bishops sidestepping there way into power. Noble Knights  follow the corrupt Queen to protect the interest of enslavement. The Castle walls are built by the Rooks from the bones of the defiant. There is no where to move or breathe but on this board of hardship. ( 9-22-11   8:08pm )

Out of Check
I come to you now, and I am drunk Even though whiskey has slurred my words My thoughts come still and steady I come to you now with a body tired I come to you now an ever so lonely man I come to you now on the brink of tears and war I come to you now afraid because I am without fear I come to you swinging with closed fist and an open heart I come to my senses but reality causes me to loose my mind I come to you now to sleep on your couch because I am still very drunk I come to you now to repay old favors and owe new ones I come to you now to reassure my self that I will never need you But I come to you now because I do    II. I come again now sober I have come to see drunken thought blatantly clear I see sober words to hide thoughts away in riddles But inebriation brings simplicity to this script I go away from you now with a full mind and a confused heart But I go to a bright outlook on a bleak future.

I come to you now
Burning leaves in a dark hour From Dutch fields sweetest flower In spire me, turn these tears of old Into sweet rain that waters my soul May death to peace never be uttered Were befriending a foe cause discourse to flutter Like the flicker of a dying flame May self expression never fade me to shame For my sad thoughts miss gives some Empty peace, from whence they've come Understand do I not, for I choose not Some questions left to God that purpose forgot I defy my tears I defy my weakness That I may break thought jagged fears And overcome bitter bleakness The scorn of my minds undying questions Burns in confusion with each internal session May my need to understand never be too much to mention But now I must go, I have dropped a stone in this pool of reflection

Dutch fields
Ink, Precious liquid cloak of my heart You babble with peace of a gentle stream. You are the water that can revive me You rage like blood poring from the veins on a battlefield. You consume me as I lay bleeding waiting to dye the ground beneath. You apply your stroke on the canvas, forming something beautiful, If even only to the artist. You sweet release, you everlasting friend, With your sweeping path left behind after your Journey across the pages, I am soothed and I am comforted.

Ink
I’m just sitting here in the dark, waiting for this life of mine to start. Wondering before I leave this world, will I leave a mark? Or is it true, and I’ve been doomed, from the start. But I’m getting so tired of being so alone, Take this burden off my back and leave it on the road Got to leave this place before it swallows me whole Find a little fresh air that really suites my soul And I’m headin out  on the road, finding that fresh air, that suites my soul And I’m headed out on the road, were it leads I don’t know Now I got some good friends, and there going to go with me Like good old Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy We headed out west till we found the sea. Hoping on this journey we find the meaning of the word free Cause we’re breaking those bonds of that mental slavery That were given cause we live in this society And we are all looking for a little something to believe But my position on that decision is completely up to me And we headed out on the road, finding that fresh air, that suites our soul And we headed out on the road, were it leads I don’t want to know Now driving across the land, and sleeping in a van Sweating in the dessert air, getting that beach sand our hair Sleeping on misty mountain tops, getting woke up by the cops Just going what we can, trying to find out how to be a man Playing music in the street, for a little change and something to eat Spending all you time and all your cash for a little bit of fun and a whole lot of gas When you heading out on the road, finding that fresh air that suites your soul And you head out, out on the road, were it leads you ain’t ever going to know And you head out, out on the road, You find that fresh air and it suites your soul And you head out, out on the road; you find it leads you home (Zeus's Woodshed)

On the Road (Lyrics)
I’m just sitting here in the dark, waiting for this life of mine to start. Wondering before I leave this world, will I leave a mark? Or is it true, and I’ve been doomed, from the start. But I’m getting so tired of being so alone, Take this burden off my back and leave it on the road Got to leave this place before it swallows me whole Find a little fresh air that really suites my soul And I’m headin out  on the road, finding that fresh air, that suites my soul And I’m headed out on the road, were it leads I don’t know Now I got some good friends, and there going to go with me Like good old Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy We headed out west till we found the sea.

Lonesome crusader and ancient gladiator, He is taking love from the hater while being loyal to his traitor. Constantly his own narrator, singing those old songs, on his path, as he walks along, Looking for some forgotten town, with no one around who would try to bring him down. Were he could not be found Find his peace in the sounds, as his flesh fades back to dust back beneath the ground.

Bard
Folding Foes, walk yourself down the Georgian line Sweet savanna wrap around porches in summer sweat Crushing companies sipping sweet tea on pedestals above me Anchored at average is that old adage that it attached to the lattice that they try to get past us. Nailed shoes to our feet and glued to our seat, living in lies and deceit, trying to force our defeat and to break the decree Held solemnly, And somberly, By you And by me. Thee, the only lonely listeners of our own sweet soliloquies In ripping tides of attention tearing through hate and affection, Is found a pain never to mention for any chosen direction. Now our learning gets lost in the lesson. It started with tension, then moves to intervention, but ends with rejection. Where now it lends to those friends that tend to your need to mend

Summer Sweat
Reach out with a fish bone finger to touch the face of youth. Using the senses to recall what life once felt like. Reach out with a fish bone hand. Wrap it around the shoulder of death, Make him a welcome guest, so that he may bring you peace and comfort. Reach out your fishbone arms. Embrace the soul of winter. May its cold nature light a fire in your bones. Lay down your old fish bones Lay down that old skeleton, so you may find a new kind of skin

Fishbone
Your Beautiful eyes, they can look right through me. There is no lying when you don’t use words. Still secrets can be passed in silence. You weaken me, the only thing that can cut right to my core. I may be a rock, but you used to erode me in beauty. You were a sculptor. You were a vision. You were inspiration. Now you are a diamond, harder than any stone cutting anything you wish, But so beautiful, that you put envy in every eye. A diamond made by the rough in which you are found. You shine like a star that can never be touched. But that is why I prefer the night sky.

The Sky is growling like a beast Set upon stalking, hunting. It is only heard, Everywhere All around and all at once, But definitively being no where. Breathing with a low rumble, speaking with a roar Whispering secretes, screaming a soothing melody in the fire crack Hazy reflections dodge there way through the skies tears, Finding the dry space between. Ripples in the road side puddles Roaring waterfalls falling from the forest leaves Single rain drops, peace full in solitude. But together they cause the clawed creatures to cower, The predators they feel as the prey 8-29-07 (6:30am)
