Self prophecies
Come true
Life laid out
Black and blue
Surely this time
Definitely next
I can feel it
With every breath

In familiar
Poetic prose
Heart is spoke
Time unfolds
Somehow
Our muses know
What's to come
Blessings or woes
...........................

In the waist lands
Of wandering hearts
Love is lost
In unseen art
Unread poetry
Unfinished
****** of parts
Overgrown gardens
Meditate by
Statues of children
  That never die...
Tilted birdbaths
List in once mind
I never meant
To leave you behind
Another piece
Of mine
Guitars need new strings
The dusty shelf
Once an amp
Aching bones
Worn out mat
Yet still
A poet walks
  A poetic path!

My life is full of
Ups and downs
I asked my girlfriend
To read my poems
She said that she didn't think so
Unfortunately
She has no poetic soul
Dry inside I die
All my living is but a lie
I seem to have traded
All that matters
For an easy loveless ride

Dear Poetess's
Please
Consider me
Together
Our poetry could
Simply be!

My dearest
Poetic minded friends
I shouldn't have to write this
Again and again
The level of your creativity
Is but a reflection
Of your intellect
Stand up for yourself
Take a deeper breath
With mathematical precision
Aesthetically conveyed
Set the simpletons right
    And go and get yourselves laid!!!!!

So unfortunate sometimes
My beliefs are limited
By my ruling intellect
But when I feel your pain
It takes away my every breath
Love cannot be limited
By yesterdays views
Today I'm just as broken
As broken as you
Please forgive me
For my truths

If you could have me
Like my girl has me
You would never want
For love again
...

Started listening
To something new
Words, cord arrangements
In mathematical construct
Far beyond any patterns
Holding no near
Nor distance continuity
A deviation form norm
Unlocking the primitive
Raw tribal beat of DNA
Beware of opening pathway
The breath of life blows free
You could travel with me!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ClCaPmAA7s

Ya but what if....
What if it's much more complicated
The distance to truth
What if it's equal to eternity
How long shall one search
Didn't all the paths lead here!

Shush.. quiet down!
Do you poets ever go to sleep?
I believe It's all been said
And done before
Still you had to write your piece
But you are correct
Most of us forget
If I miss a single word
I'm eaten by regret
So here in my world
It's dark outside
One last post
And I'll say goodnight
Goodnight!

I was lost
Turned around
The sky turns grey
When the sun goes down
I found my way
Finally the next day
I keep getting lost
So I never get laid
A pocket full of dollars
And a quick shortcut
When I stay home
I never get ******!

My wall are covered with
Beautiful things
Dream catchers
Suns and planets
Loki and Zeus  
  The mark of Cain...
I love my
Statues of Buddha
Figures of Christ
Paintings of ships at sea
Guitars and amps
Keyboards and drums
  More than I could ever need...
Outside my windows
Lives the Trees
Sweet sounds
Of birds and bees
My aesthetic impairment
Has set me free
...........

I wish you would have stayed
But all you did was leave
Alone in this empty shell
Your people are calling me
I’m afraid I don’t know them
I can’t tell them why
They already had a funeral
Perhaps they'll let us died
P.S.
Lock me in the bathroom
With a bottle in my hand
Nobody needs to get hurt
Nobody gives a ****

Sign
Traveler

Parasitical
This brain of mine
Steadily being eaten
By the worms
Of times
Yet still
We are of truth
I am of flesh
I am a breath
Away from death

It uses me
My poetic muse
The words flow free
Aesthetically bruised
From above and beyond
From without and within
Thoughts come together
And impossibly blind
Stanza after stanza
Line after line
Each verse a maze
A map
Of a poet’s mind
I am but a
Issue stricken poet
With a brilliant muse
Blessed to be in a world
So easily amused
..............

I wasn’t trying to follow
Nor be followed
I just wanted to walk beside you
!

So After my early morning chores
I go in the house for my second cup of coffee
And my girl is getting up
She sets down in her living room easy chair
Hot herbal tea in hand, device in the other
I pick up my guitar and magic flows out
I played my magnum opus's
One after another bleeding through my fingers
Tears come to my eyes
I play like I'm playing for my dinner
I'm starving for that connection
The bond that music brings
At the ****** I look up and see her
Still staring down at her device
Then I realize
I played for dinner
And left hungry...

Simplistic
My vocabulary
Until my words
Get rearranged
In and out of order
Let the darkness rain
Washing me down
Rain all over me
I need to feel
I need to breath
I need to write
   Sweet poetry!!

Alone I am
I am not free
Hell and fury
Deep in my sea's
Come up for air
Still I can't breathe
Words bleed
Out of me
Forming
Sweet poetry
...............................

Hello
This phone call may sound
A little on the strange side
Please bare with me
As I attempt to convey
A sort of phenomenon

Tim was angry with me
When he realize you called
And I just couldn't answer
So I must apologize
For my action
Tim has forgotten
How you turned your back on him
And left him to rot in prison
But then again
I'm not him right now
And I remember

Climb inside
Take me for a ride
See for yourself
My heart is Divine
Caring is what I do
Can I reach through
And touch you
A handful of anything
Is more then I have
Feel free
Poke your fingers in
Make me real glad
I have a heart
I have a soul
I am but a empty
*** of gold
But my heart is divine
That I know!

I remember now
It seems like it...
Was just like yesterday
They shut me in..
Into this endless maze
They locked a door
Suddenly there was me!
My heart is older now
  Still longing to be free...

I am with you at
Every single turn
Set a fire and
Set and watch it burn
Someone to see you through
Until the darkness settles
Share in my deep
Raging passion
For death fracking metal
Amen!!

Memory
Isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
Just think if you could forget
Everything that has ever
Made you grieve
Wouldn’t you want to be free
But what if you forgot
Something you did wrong
But in the sound of her voice
The pain still lives on
Would you want to know
Oh please let it die
All I want to know is
Can I have another try
........

Hey!
It's a waste of time
Praying to die
Slowly we all
Get eaten alive
But maybe
Give life a try

I’m lost in the forest
I don’t seem to care
Helicopter can find
Anyone  anywhere
So I’ve set down to rhyme
Well actually
I’m looking to find
All that I lost
Within my mind
Oh my girl is worried
And my friends
Are hot on my trail
Tell me again how bad
I’m evil

I'm so glad not to know him
  He was what he was I'm sure...
Fortunately my memory of him
Is but a beautiful blur...

I remember Tim in the old days
Such a young foolish man
Traces of his childhood
Blemishes of who I am

When he died
I killed him
By the mercy of my being
So if you happen to see him
Remember
It's actually me
That your seeing
............................................

"Blessed"
Can't help but
Trip on that word.
"Cursed"
Of course
Is quite absurd!
What we are
What we wish
Of all we'll ever be
Rearranges to fit
Rapping around our need's
We love the world
In a state of greed
"So"
Please be happy
Never die
For it'is there that
My love is tied
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You could never believe
Reality as I perceive
Waves of my realm
Flow like an angry sea
I gasp to hold on
As my shadow bleeds
But inside its calm
Where air flows strong
I gasp to hold on

On the shore of my isle
Reality crashes
Deep in my sleep
Frightening flashes
Perhaps these moments
Never existed at all
Reality is a state of mind
An interpretation of cause

I gasp to hold on
Hold on to my *****
.........................
Sorry
Babel of a mad man....

I know it to be true
The gods have chosen
Me to be blue
I know it to be real
The blessings of the gods
  Is the hell I feel...
I travel through time
What a lapse
Upon ones mind
But I’ll remember
In due time
The love that we shared
That is
If the gods would let me
One last time
Come up for air....
............

So I lost all my memories
For the last two years
I can remember
Little bits and pieces
Of way back when’s
But here the thing
My good friend
And my girlfriend
Constantly bring up things
That I said or did the last
Two years that I
Have no memory of.
The first thing I do
Is dig deep, tell me everything
Please, I say
Please give me my memory back!
But then they explain
We already told you yesterday

I sold my soul for another chance
But you threw that chance away
How could I’ve have seen such coming
It cut me like a blade

Now my dreams are all but frozen
The door of love you've broken
You tied my tongue
In silent darkness
In the bottom of life's ocean

I forgive you
  Just the same
Out here in the shadows
I still remain
.........

I am crazy!
That's who I've become
My laughter rings
I love to run!
Shining eyes
I talk loud and fast
This side of me
I wish would last

I cannot focus
She thinks I'm ******
He puts me down
The dark alone
You've seen before
The hidden eyes
Let go of your thoughts
We're all gonna die!

Something or...
Somebody put me here
So I could take his place
Whoever this poet was
I don't recognize my face
I would never write
Such self indulgent words
From the old Traveler
Seems like
That's all we ever heard
No one needs to know
Where I go or...
Where I live
I'm still at the age where
I love to get and give
But who ever put me here
In this old fellas boots
At least you could have left me
With a hint of why or...
Who!

(Not a poem, a wake up call)

It's actually a very simple thing
Every human on earth deserves
To live with dignity
  Food, shelter and love...
I'm doing all I can to make up
For the deficiency.
An innocent eye opens at birth
How will they view the world
With a hungry heart
Or a hungry belly
Sheltered form the storm
Or lost in the tempest
World views can change
It we get our hearts in the game!
Make the world a better place
Please!
...........................................

Please
Forgive my ink
You know we are
All on the brinks
It's to **** dark
Who can even think
So I'll just write this
And send it
Into cyber space
......................
The entropy of eternal sleep awaits
All of are particles lost in space
There we shall finally be as one
Simple stardust where life begun
................................

Pain grounds me to reality
I can feel it while watching TV
Pokes and prods
Will you please
Figure out
  What's ill'in me...
Take some blood
Hypnotize
Figure out what will not die
Blame it all on yesterday's
Disruption is the final stage
...........................................

I need to be going now
That's what Travelers do
Stay long enough to break
And bend all the rules
Transmittal received
Please call home
Somewhere from beyond
The danger zone...

Here the shadows hide
In the stressful darkness of wandering thoughts
When ever I'm here and where ever I get lost
It's not my fault
That's what lovers do
  I never meant for this to happen
  To you...

I am disturbed
My mind is but broken
I stare at the wall
My thoughts are all frozen
Shell of the man I use to be
Lost in my brain
I'm no longer me
......
Where did I go
Who really knows
Your only talking
At my ghost
They won't let me drive
Or stay home alone
All my people
In a nurse's role
......
I long for my old life
While I just let go
No longer me
Can I borrowed a soul
......

I’m having trouble
With communication
I talk far too much
  In all my relations...
All I’m really looking for
Is instant gratification
I long for home but
My heart
Seem to be
  On a vacation...
I realize
This is all just
Broken
Poetic contemplation...
................................................­

Dreams I no longer
Second guess
I leave this reality
This present mess
I slumber and forget

Older than dirt
I crack A smile
I hold on to love
Mile after mile
In a cesspool
Of regret
I slumber and forget

In poetic thoughts
I get lost
On my bed I get tossed
Listening to music
I dance
I give life
One more chance
Running from my regrets
I slumber and forget
...........................

Year after year of husbandry
I've come to know my flocks
The mutts are all but purebreds now
Their love and loyalty is my lot!
To the howling at the moon
To the coyotes across the field
Heckling laughter fills the night
  A hunger for the ****...

The crops are doing well this season
Still the buds will need to dry
I make my sacrifice of reason
Blowing smoke rings to the sky

And here my heart beats of wonder
As she lays down in my bed
She quietly calms the thunder
Going on in my head
I can feel the goddess
Deep within my sheets
I pray like a pagan
For my love and world to keep
....................................................

Picked up my guitar
I forgot I could play
I brushed the dust back
Back from my grave
No more, no way
Will I be death's slave!

I started to jam
Wining again
Pick myself up
I can even play
Van Helan
Where the hell have I been?
I've been keeping all of me in
I'd rather live
Live to the end!

And all who suffer
The ignorance of man
I play my guitar
As tied are my hands
Yet free is our voices
So let us be heard
Giving up
It just seems absurd!

Living deep
Out in my forest
In an attempt
To close my mind
It fail upon
A dark October
In a better
  Vanished time...
When we were young
And life was bolder
I never thought
We'd get older
While recklessly
We lived as if we
  Could never die...
In drones of silence
The heart beats on
Slowly now
As I write my songs
And here I play another solo
   As I turn to face the night...

The difference is simply
Our willingness to communicate
Thesaurus' can be quite confusing
If a word isn't in one's vocabulary
It takes the fun out of reading
Sorry didn't mean to offend!!!

Hell,
Punctuation gives me nightmares!

Wickedly evil!
This beautiful trip
Pretend not to notice
The tares that we've ripped
Buy another car, drink another beer
Hell! We can't even see Yemen from here!!
Saudi Arabia, indeed! one of our good friends
Global warming will be the deaths of us all
In our final bitter end!


"We need change"
Seriously!

The world gets in the way
But love wants to go home
I take you with me
Everywhere I roam!
...................................

I would never turn away
And just let you die...
I would never leave you
In the middle of your night...
Silent angel
Sad blue eyes
I will hold you
Beyond the light!

One last poem
Beyond despair
In the morning
I'll still be here!

Why would I hate you
Brother?
A heart's allowed to grieve
I would forgive you
Throughout time
"Forever"
And in-between!
Some of us recover
Even overcome
You were once as close
As Jesus to the sun
I sill love you
Brother
And now it's said and done.
..............................................

I took a little trip
To the ward
The other day
Down through
The crazy maze
The cheese trying
To persuade
So I simply explained
I am just a Poet
A little out of faze
They prescribed
Me Prozac
And sent me on my way!

Other people's hell's are worst then mine,
I just get lost here and there, in and out of time.

The funny thing
When she walked in
I glimpsed an average
Lady of my age
Well surely
A few years younger
Then my slave master
#1 Girlfriend! (abusive care taker)
Yet as I took this nice lady for a tour
Of our Dog friendly kennel
As she spoke
Her words touched
Like massaging hands
Her eyes shined
As they peered through my soul
With her heart exposed
Her heart a mirror reflection
Of what I forgot could exist
I wondered...
Why do I resist?

I get it
I'm broken inside
Most of me would like to die...
She keeps reminding me
I can't do anything right
The pills I take
Impair my sight
24-7 she lets me know
I'm but a burden
That needs to go!

In the muck of wonder
We were both there
I ran my tendicle's deep
Through your carnal tares
Two amoebas thriving alive
Such poetic protoplasm
Even as parasites
We survived
Life after life!
