The monster in the closet
he is there to remind
not to look too closely
for fear of what you'll find
he makes those awful noises
to keep you on your toes
don't look in that closet
it's already what you know
your hot and trembling hands
pull up the covers tight
to shield you from the wrath
your sure he'll fire tonight
But you decide you've had it
and resolve to be bold
your going to **** that thing
that turns your red blood cold
Slowly you open the door
to discern all thats there
only ancient memories
and a lonely teddy bear
Drinking from the fountain
of
eachothers souls
enhancing
warming
loving
Overflowing the singular
outpouring
the sunshine
into the Life Force
adding
to it
all.

I was in the grocery store
just last week
saw your beautiful smile
reach out to me
I watched you pick something up
saw your srong and sturdy hands
remembering them holding me
at the trucking stand
I followed you closely
among the many isles
down memory lane
across the frozen miles
I noted the color of your hair
mmm, easy on my eyes
I wanted to go up and inhale you
but it would cause surprise
once next to the cereal
right by the coffee and tea
your turned your head
looked straight at me
oh your deep soulful eyes
lashes long and full
the shape of your chin
all put me in a lull
I lost all track of you
lost in a wish
came to suddenly
back to my list..
there you were at the checkout ,me behind
as you laughed with the lady
yes,  it was your laugh
your laugh all the way
when you merely spoke, however
it wasn't you at all
even when you turned to me
and said "How ya doin, doll"
This happens almost every day
no matter where I'm at
I'll see you every corner
in every baseball cap...
Even though you are nowhere
it does'nt make me sad
somewhere in my heart
I'm just a little glad
so I give a little smile
and actually are quite thankful
for I saw you twenty times today
was'nt that a handful?
Painted faces
to hide the pain
black umbrellas
to shield the rain
barred emotions
to cover the abyss
high tide walls
to wash the mist
eccentricity
to stop the mundane
quiet repression
to hold the shame
warm cozy blankets
to warm the chill
years of therapy
to assuage the guilt
beautiful poetry
the express the loss
and show the world
high shined gloss...
when will
rainbows come
instead of rain
show my face
without the pain
allow my emotions
to be as they will
to break the walls
that hold me still
to be unique
without the airs
to throw away shame
come out of my lair
not need blankets
to hold me dear
quit the guilt
quit the fear
keep with poetry
with happy endings
show the world
happy things...
ITS TIME
Try as I might to find sense
theres so much confusion
among mankind so blind
to all the illusion
clocks, calendars and deadlines
time to go here, go there
pur your masque on to don
for the reality fair
yes, the reality fair
where everything is fake
not what you see but commodity
never give, always take
a ride for a buck
the crowded merry-go-round
plastic smiles for miles
across the desert town

I see a man standing in line
he thinks he's got it made
a bulging back pocket, a gold locket
and she's going to play his game
her with the hour glass
and a cup thats not real
a town of money and honey
on a neverending feris wheel

yes, its time to go now
go here, go there
put your masque on to don
for the reality fair
Uh oh...have that feeling
clean clean clean
no sleep
bo peep
get busy on the ball
clean he floors, clean the walls
waiting for the pills to effect
make me sleepy and tire
uh oh
the doc is fired
round and round
my motions go
none to sleep
none too slow
tegretol doesn't work
zyprexa is failing
hands are busy
hands are flailing
mind is going 100mph
think of next, I know not
clean the bathub
before it rots
need a new car
not done paying
don't know what
I am saying
don't give way to seeing things
don't get paranoid
take your hormones
your steroids
don't listen if the tv talks
go for a long walk
if I had gas
I'd drive and drive
thanking someone
I am alive
alive and free, yes thats me
It's late at night
ten o'clock
go to moms
a boat dock
want to cry
but what for
I am busy
clean the door
jam to music
bug the neighbors around
they will be yelling
"turn it down"
dancing in the living room
head held high with a broom
gotta go get busy fast
have to do it now
green moons
and purple cows....
