Look Up

Stars are always there
Some nights we get a free show
Make sure you look up
quiet birds sitting
disappearing last shadows
moon hiding tonight

I would be happy living in a world where the rain carries the sound of your laughter...
Then I could run outside when it is raining and get soaked on that sweet melody...
It is raining tonight...
I wish I was a raindrop...
So I could fall close to you...
And see your eyes tonight...
For now I will just go for a walk...
And write poetry for you...
Under the rain...

a generation lived
a generation remembered
a generation all but forgotten
a generation of photo-less family tree entries
It might already be over
My moment small and done

Just a little Hitch Hikin'
Then the wait for the setting sun

But then again maybe not
It may have just begun

Donde esta la sabiduria?
Ah! My Santa Rosa one.
Where do you go,
When you're back in town?
Do you drive by
The torn down church?
The old graveyard famous
For fornication, or the old-style
Dairy Queen with the good
Milkshakes?
Downtown's too young now--
Let's put it that way--
No one there you'd know.
Try to remember
Where you left your heart,
When you see me
Looking up the road.

She said "I'm falling in love."

I said "I'm falling apart."
What's the difference?

Judas betrayed Christ with a kiss.
As a confidant, Brutus stuck
the knife in.
The betrayers are
out there,
thick as buzzards,
waiting to crush your
dreams, like crackers for
their big bowls of bones.
At least Jesus knew what
was coming.
I can't tell my
friends from my enemies.
Someday soon, Ill find
peace of mind, and the
betrayers will feast on
themselves.
They always do.
My parents call me the only normal kid of the family which is a nice cover story but the reality is that I am the weird, rebellious, special needs kid with a silver tongue and a heart of gold.
My siblings call me weird, an old soul, an elder person, an enigma and annoying. That's more accurate.
Normal is Boring, it's insulting to my intelligence to be called normal by my parents.
Normal is Boring, I don't like the word normal because it's full of false tales and societal expectations.

If she
Asks you
And
Calms you down
especially
On rainy days
When
Your mood changes
it's raining
