South-by-Southwest
The collection of Sundays
The days of drifting by
The lazy sunny rays
Sitting back , getting high

Thought those days
would never end
But time says
They have to bend

I always kept a fire
burning in my heart
Wound up being the liar
Who turned it into an art

When I lost the light
within me
When I gave into the fight
That defeated me

When the love left
The feeling I used to know
It left my heart cleft
Reeling from the blow

It was summer time
Thunder from the storm
Started humming a line
from a tune well worn

The night has its way
You could not take mine
With nothing to say
you cut the knot that binds

The silence hung heavy
Like summer dew
Like fog on a levee
So it was with me and you

Pain is both a pesticide
and growth hormone

It is necessary for all growing things
but not even the bugs like it!

                                 When the Ambulance Arrived

When the ambulance arrived the medics
Pushing and pulling the gurney in and out
Knocked the latch from the jamb, which no one noticed
But later someone else found the door open

I walked across the road with a bag of tools
And fixed the latch with a couple of screws
Easily enough, a wooden door that opened
To Christmases and homecomings and life

The door is now secure, but I don’t think
The owner will ever walk through it again
A poem is itself.

Are you ready to win!

Well…
Let’s get this done!
Have no fear
of being wrong..
The current system is simply
corrupt!
The furnace is just about
to erupt!
Good shall manifest
in hell’s place…
A final extinction
is absolutely
not the case.
So get ready
to lift the whole
human race…
P.S
Keep a smile
on your face!
Traveler 🧳 Tim
Like valleys low and mountains high
I lay me down and watch nights sky
Under sickle moon and sparkling stars
Await my loved one from afar.
Secret midnight rendezvous.
Looking up above I dream with  eyes open wide.

These bones feel brittle tonight
Soaking in the soft blue light
With skin frigid and cracking
And I just cant seem to slither
Beneath the weight of the comforter
Throw me deep into the mortar
Grind me down to a soft powder
Sprinkle me into your glass pipe
Release me to the cosmos in plumes
As you crash and your eyes close
I'll float up to the grand orange orb
Caress its face with my soft edges
Feel myself fade away as it consumes
What little there was left to take away
Enveloped in the warmth of nothing
Everything started feeling so cold
Until I was burned up by that Bic
And fell into your black old lungs
And sprang into the embrace of the sun  
Where I was greeted by nothing at all
