Buffalo Grass

she came from out of nowhere

and took root in my open heart

tough as the mid western prairie

once she got in it was just the start


heated words never burned her out

she stayed strong waiting for the rain

the tears of fears quench her thirst

still there even through all the pain


her words of love kept me fed

when I doubted the reasons

visions of her Indian dance fill my head

keeping the beat in my heart


she will always be here even when she goes

like the millions of years gone past

her strength and beauty will forever live on

spreading forever like buffalo grass

A corduroy jacket and a head full of dreams

When I came to London
this was all I owned
except for my guitar of course
the jacket would keep me warm
as would my dreams

I was looking for heaven
in the world of music
singing till my voice was hoarse
my fingers blistered
soaking in the young girls screams

was it fame that I wanted
or was it that I wanted to be wanted
I loathed the thought of remorse
if I didn't give it my all
it was one of my recurring themes

so I scrimped and saved
and practiced non stop my craft
I kept my mum as my source
of determination and grit
basking in her smiling beams

the corduroy jacket
has become thread bared
my dreams have run their course
I never became a superstar
but I got what I needed it seems

Polymath Pretender

the master of absolutely nothing
these quatrains tell the tale
of a pretender who is suffering
whose life is worn and stale

reach up and raise your chalice
tainted words used as a phallus
some intentions of mental malice
lying naked in my palace

is this the fade from glory
a sad and ancient story
of repeat offenders
these polymath pretenders

Kitten Purrs

I hear the soft sound of
internal pleasure
knowing that she is satisfied
makes me feel good
her whiskers gently rub
against my face and shoulder
her soft wet nose placed
so close to my eye
I can see the gold tinge
in her iris
I rub her soft warm fur
wrap her tail
around my fingers
and listen to her
sweet singing purr
the words
Tāmaki Makaurau

Forbidden Lovers

kisses of fire
eyes all ablaze
we've taken our love
to a much higher phase

but we cannot touch
no we are not allowed
no exchanging glances
in a concert hall crowd

we speak of our passion
in a place called nowhereland
your grip so strong
upon my hand

keeping low out of sight
down below the covers
we must not be seen
we are forbidden lovers

Idiot Man goes to Washington

well I need to come up with a brand new plan
I'm sure there are many more lives I can *****
gosh I bet you I can be a congressman
I mean after all I have no clue

yeah I'll strut my strut and pretend to be concerned
act like I have the people's best interest at heart
I'll argue with the others like they have learned
instead of doing right I'll pick my nose and ****

so round and around and around it goes
every four years the people try making a change
replacing the current Heckle and Jeckle crows
with new wiener shakers just as strange

so after four years of wasting everyone's time
what should I think up next
I mean after all I am Idiot Man
maybe send a picture of my **** with text

The Princess and the frog

time and distance had taken its toll
old and weathered and somewhat forgotten
he hopped on tired legs
all too often shunted by his former mate
he wondered if there was more
he wondered if there was a reason
he was no longer driven
he no longer hoped
he no longer dreamed
he missed the passion
but knew not how to recover
his dreams
his desires
then he stumbled into a garden
it was a new garden
one he had never before seen
he wondered why he was here
he wondered if he was just lost
then hello was whispered
he looked around seeing no one
then another hello a bit louder
he looked up and staring down
staring down at him
was a beautiful flower
a sunflower
a sunflower with big beautiful eyes
she batted her eyes and smiled
he was amazed she had noticed
none noticed him these days
are you lost the sunflower asked
I think I may be he answered
well welcome to my garden
my name is the Princess Perly
what is your name
I am just an old frog was his reply
and it matters not my name
but I am glad to meet you Princess Perly
they talked for a long time
she finally had to leave
and he was sorry she had to go
but he returned to the garden the next day
and they met again and shared
shared thoughts and feelings
she was so kind and sweet
and beautiful beyond his dreams
slowly he fell in love with the princess
well he kind of suspected it was rather quicker
day after day
they would meet in the garden
he finally told her
that he was in love with her
she blushed but did not answer
time moved on
his desires returned
his dreams returned
the princess finally gave in to his heart
she told him she also loved him
his world would never be the same
she kissed him gently
and his life would never be the same
though time would change things
they stayed deeply in love
they stayed the best of friends
though he was still a frog
he knew he was someone again
he was loved by a Princess
and that made him smile...

Underpants Man

faster than a bullet speeding
words of nonsense need no repeating
leaping higher than the moon
oh silly one in sad cartoon
kept his drawers ever full
felt the force of gravity's pull
yanking down to raw expose
not the beauty of yellow rose
covered eyes of woman's scream
waking up from mid summers dream
please tell me I didn't do it
fantasy world  should I pursue it
is there even one simple fan
of the underwhelming underpants man

Morning has broken
the crickets and bullfrogs
musical concert is coming to an end

the sun is slowly awakening
the mockingbird is stirring

with the light strectching
arriving over the horizon

singing in unison with the
babbling brook

a sleepy headed yawn
rolls out of my dried throat

I glance over and you are smiling
with your half open eyes

good morning you whisper
I touch your hand

go back to sleep my darling
the morning has only broken

Dastardly Deeds

I love doing dastardly deeds
capturing damsels creating distress
tying them to the railroad tracks
while sneaking a peek up there dress
I'm evil and cruel and just so **** mean
I love making them cry and scream
holding them for ransom my ill gotten gains
while having my tea with strawberries and cream
if only I can hide them from the annoying mountie
who is always saving them and spoiling my bounty
yes Dudley Do Right he is my curse of foil
I'd like him feathered and rolled in oil
many things please me like baubles and beads
but nothing quite like dastardly deeds

Fearless Fosdick

mind of steel
chin of iron
you better run like hell
if you hear his siren

he will track you down
close your route
there's nowhere to escape
law is what he's all about

commit a crime
he is on your tail
and you'll do the time
hear the sirens wail

he is the chief
he's in charge
you won't get away
no man at large

the peoples guard
the city's bulldog
hear the click of the cuffs
you are in his log

the hero of women
protector of child
he's tough as nails
though his manner is mild

just as long you
are not on the list
of suspicious characters
and don't get him ******

so keep it cool
mind your q's and p's
Fearless Fosdick
will keep you pleased

Can't get you out of my mind

There is way, way to much confusion,
I can't get my head straight,
is this just another illusion,
I think it's getting late,
you know we talked about this before,
talked about curbing our emotions,
or did you forget,
I must admit
I can't get you out of my mind, no darlin,
I can't get you out of my mind, no no no
  
isn't this, isn't this September
I can hardly wait,
I hope, hope that you remember,
it's been a year since our first date,
we walked along underneath the moonlight,
holding hands, wishing on a star,
I won't say won't,
I'm hoping you don't
I can't get you out of my mind, no darlin,
I can't get you out of my mind, no no no

Diana – A New Beginning

it was the summer of my 13th year
could not wait to start high school
but wanted to make this summer last
time going slow bet yet so **** fast

finished my chores for the day
up with the early sun pitching hay
checking fences for ways to escape
fixing with nails and wire and tape

passed a mirror with my reflection
the thin hair under my nose turning dark
kind of cool this mustachio upon inspection
dreaming of Diana how she lit a spark

on the final day of 8th grade goodbyes
in the classroom empty she gave me surprise
she said I'll miss you and kissed my cheek
could feel my manhood trying to peek

down the gravel road I wandered
throwing rocks at nothing at all
through the pasture to the swimming hole
thought of fishing but forgot my pole

gazing at the waters ripples
a babbling blackbird gave me start
as it fluttered past my wandering mind
feeling the jumping of my heart

then there she was in jean cut offs
a checkered shirt tied at her waist
her hair pulled into a ponytail
I stuttered madly in my haste

hello Di Di Diana fell off my lips
she smiled saying she was hoping I was here
about that kiss I left you with
I've thought about you ever since

I could feel the sweat start to burn
as she leaned towards me with soft lips
a kiss of wonder made my knees wobble
while my heart was taking skips

we kissed and kissed and I felt her warmth
she pulled my hand to her firm breast
while her own hand found my swelling
feeling the tide about to crest

her shorts came loose oh so slowly
she had brought a blanket for us to lay
I felt the wetness of her land of honey
inside her is where I want to stay

my nervous thrusts brought about explosions
her legs wrapped around me tight
she looked into my eyes and smiled
she asked do you think we could spend the night

I never wanted this day to end
we laughed held hands and slowly walked
she was my first and my best friend
the sun was setting we talked and talked

high school passed and on to college
we still dated for all those years
I smile now knowing we plan to marry
my love for her brings joyful tears

Gomer LePoet ...

Surprise, Surprise

****, imagine that
a quick duck-in
then gone in 24
I was just
a temporary distraction
I guess I can't complain
or at least shouldn't complain
it was a whole lot better
than the previous
almost 2 years now
keep a stiff upper lip
after all
there was that
stiff lower shaft
that was created
by the doll

anyway
a heart can be broken
many times
I know
I found out
the hard way

Gomer LePoet...

Purgatory

I have been sent here to find redemption
or to seek purification
this mythical place of nowhere
to look down deep inside

trying hard to regain my freedom
my heart and soul totally lost
the petals fallen from the sunflower
I have nowhere else to hide

and though my eyes are wet and heavy
I try to see thru the spatial mist
hoping the princess will find me
my worlds of inner peace scream collide

her lips remain so clearly inviting
her eyes never leave my conscious mind
she has asked for her release once more
saying bye-bye the day MY music died

Gomer LePoet...

I surrender

I wish it would have ended differently
I wish it would have been like the beginning
like a couple of high school kids
we were both so excited

I'm not sure the excitement ever left
it certainly didn't for me I know
but it changed we changed

I surrender all my thoughts
they still are about you

I surrender my lonely heart
it still misses you so bad

I surrender all my tears
they still fall for you

I surrender

The secret life of
mack the knife

his teeth shined a pearly white
they glistened like fallen snow
his smile would melt the ladies hearts
and leave them feeling aglow

but when he chose to leave his bite
the smile turned to a snear
Louie called said I'll see you at the club
yeah Mack meet in the rear

he was a banker by the daylight
a vicious killer in the night
he always thought that he would
find time to make things right

he left his victims on the sidewalk
or a tugboat by the shore
their throats cut from ear to ear
the coppers going door to door

but not a single soul was talking
nobody saw anything
but they could tell by the looks
they'd be dead if they chose to sing

Louie wanted Souky Taudry whacked
he was messin with Jenny Diver
she's my girl and I ain't taking that
I'll set you up to be his driver

he wore a disguise of a chauffer
fancy coat pants and a cap
but when he took a wrong turn
Souky knew he was in for bad crap

they found him in the alley
his life oozing out on the street
his throat cut by Mack the Knife
another job had been complete

back at the bank the next morning
he was all smiles and slapping backs
nobody knew his secret life
or if they were the next one he whacks

Freud's Frantic Friends

Psychopathology
therapeutic techniques
free association
and tight **** cheeks
manic depression
afraid of my fate
you say it's okay
if I go ahead and *******
transference redirection
it's my daddy's fault
he was the one who told me
take the money from the vault
I can't stand up
but you say it's okay
I can blame someone else
for making me that way
it was a friend of a friend
that groped my crotch
it was his own dam fault
I stole his fancy watch
extreme hate rage and
parentification
general distrust
needs no elaboration
my mommy made me mean
so I take it out on you
cause you remind me of her
in everything you do
the way that you wiggle
when you go for a walk
I'm glad you stopped by
to have this little talk

Sopdet

the ancients worshiped this light in the sky  
so far away but so bright to the eye
the calender created by Egyptian kings
rising high revered like golden rings

the duat of their underworld passed
Isis and Osiris in the galaxy so vast
shining down with a curious smile
marked the flooding of the Nile

so very close yet still so far
less than 9 light years to this star
she is binary in number having a mate
though a white dwarf now can no longer relate

she was just as important to many other cultures
Greeks and Polynesians claiming like vultures
this dog of the night caused men to weakly tilt
aroused the women and made the plants wilt

somewhere in the future she will bid adieu
as the galaxies shift and are born anew
this pair of lovers must say goodbye
this Sirius watchers of our night sky

Disingenuous

you're a
hip hop
***** mop
slap right in the face
a turn down
runaround
useless piece of space
a pretender like you really care
but I know you ain't going anywhere

so disingenuous

I'm a
cold fish
broken dish
ran away with a spoon
I look alive
with a high five
cow jumping over the moon
a pretender like I really care
but I know I ain't going anywhere

so disingenuous

we can dream
we can scheme
stay on the top of pretenders
we can cry
and wonder why
alone in a world of contenders

so disingenuous


Gomer LePoet ....

I got nothing

the crack of the bat the pleas of the vendors
the roar of the crowd the snapping of suspenders
thumbs in my pockets so I can't hitch a ride
no longer the darling busted up inside

  screaming for help but no one is there
heaven has left me so why should I care
no peanuts or popcorn to offer the crowd
the boos have started and getting quite loud

it wasn't her fault she had no real choice
how I do yearn to just hear her voice
the ushers escorted her to the proper table
from a distance she reminds me of Betty Grable

the circles of rambling getting much tighter
sleepless stirring pull another all-nighter
a string of pointless one-liners end to end
like Costanza I got nothing since I lost my friend

Gomer LePoet ....

If you steal my heart

if you steal my heart
I will love you forever
so be very careful the words you choose

if you kiss my lips
I will desire you completely
I'll be in the streets shouting the news

if you hold my hand
I promise to never let it go
this is a promise I will always keep

if you say the words
sincerely that you love me
I will dream of you in my time of sleep

Ockhams Razor

I'm sure the world has ended
at least in that part of town
at the very least an avalanche
has brought everything down

maybe the sky has fallen
or a volcano has blown it's stack
all the souls have been devoured
by a ravishing wild wolf pack

a sudden catastrophic earthquake
has shaken the ground apart
that must be what has happened
the seismic waves right off the chart

maybe it's the warming effect
that has caused the oceans to heave
and everyone is on an ark
they suddenly had to leave

the answer must be simple
why she no longer calls my name instead
should I use the Ockham's razor
and shave the truth right off my head

Story Teller IV (Billy and Bart )

he walks in the saloon spurs jingling loud
faces turn frightened everyone in the crowd
except for Bart he keeps his cold stare
bodies are dashing but he stays right there

he knows it's Billy without turning his head
no place to hide now time to face him instead
the fear and loathe has made his nostrils flare
his hand to his side now waiting for the dare

Billy was simply the one that no one could face
bushy eyebrows and unruly hair every place
when he spoke you took at least one step back
waiting anxiously for the fierce attack

he spoke in riddles and never made sense
his mouth sputtered spray his eyes so intense
if you were lucky you could give him the shake
point over there I think there is some cake

when he turned with desire for tastes so sweet
you quickly turned and quietly shuffled your feet  
head for the exit from his attempted control
drool running down his chin this disgusting soul

Billy was this proverbial pain in everyone's side
but Bart had this way of coolness down deep inside
he would reach out his hand in gesture so kind
that Billy would just smile a smile that shined

Billy wasn't really the beast that everyone thought
he just wanted a friend it was kindness he sought
take away from these words a higher ground
look inside your heart to see what you found

White Night Gown

I tell you the dude is crazy
he's out of his flippin' mind
why do you think he is here
he wanted his tennis shoes shinned

they hauled him in wearing a jacket with straps
babbling like a clown
so they registered him as a member here
and gave him this white night gown

twittering around here then there
yelling to no one it seems
ranting in cantations of ridiculous rhyme
spilling out Freudian dreams

sometimes whispering thoughts of lust
grabbing and pulling at his chest
puckering his lips like giving a kiss
his random waves of insanity crest

I'm warning you for this final time
there are villains in this town
not everyone knows about them you see
only the man in the white night gown
