An Ode to Jazz
James Walker Mar 2016
She always wondered if
they cared
Always wondered if
it was all a
game of pretend...again
She found it hard
to trust
after all the
pains from days long
run away
We
always wondered how she
could produce the sweetest
of tunes just by entering
the room with
the brightest of smiles she
carried on through
her days
not a soul
knew of the past that
blazed
At times she felt
inside so
crazed
with heartbreak and
betrayal but she,
Determined to be a Light
shined brightest
when it mattered

Flip Flop
James Walker Mar 2016
Let it be
Let them see
We will rise
From the sea
As we grow we leave behind
All the stupid
simplicities and
lies
Time moves flowing
Day by night
Things happen moment
to
moment
We think we're in control but
We're not
Eyes open to the truth and
The fighting stops

Early Retirement
James Walker Mar 2016
We long for
the simple days
without the
Hustle and bustle
and rustle and tussle of
the ******, I
mean city

A margarita on a beach
sipped out of a
pineapple her hand
gently ever so gently stroking my...
arm
as the rays
of the celestial ball of
flame burn the sand
a
bird flies overhead and
is kind enough not to drop
spatter
upon our heads
kids playing on and
on and on
The waves lapping against
the horizon...
But seriously, absolute freedom sounds great

Blonde Needles
James Walker Mar 2016
I am distracted by
my love for you girl from
California
Who thrived on the needle..
the drip drip of bliss supreme I
see your passion for
all things living
a spirit was never known to
be more free
your ever-so-***** blonde
hair
soft against my touch the
way your cheeks
jiggled
as we played
the constant journeys
to
    and
fro
you would always go...
but you always came back

Weirdo
James Walker Mar 2016
let them
find you God knows
they will
let them do as
they please
as you watch from the
sidelines
thinking On humanity's
frivolous
Sisyphean superfluic activities
beliefs are dare-eye-say
worthless yet we
hold on
ever so dearly to
the things that
**** us
a
fact or
two could save
us all but
we'd rather
spank
our
differences

Tender Loving Care
James Walker Mar 2016
Everyone
has been hurt
and so
the love they felt
as a child has been
lost like
most things and
how wonderful it would be
if tender spirits
could re-enter
the world

To Save Them, From Us
James Walker Mar 2016
I'll tell you a
Secret
one day the
sky will fall
and we'll quicken
our lungs
as the aliens
take our
kids and
the kids they
smile as
they meet their
heavenly new
parents
From the world above and
as the memories
are replaced our
world will seem
Distant
Foreign
Lost and
they will
call the world of
these Angels
Hoam

Dog eat Dog
James Walker Mar 2016
write a
Poem they said
it's good for
soul and the
beater of veins
the days they drag
on and people they
see dreams fall to
pieces
and the others
leave but
we want to lay our
eyes upon their beautiful
faces again and this
gets tough
tougher when the casket
has closed so
We
persevere
the world is dog
eat dog
they say but it's
not it's
get along or ****...
it seems the
bloodlust is stronger
than the will to
connect
We're so intent on escaping reality it seems but it's time to face it head on

I Once Saw A Man Cry
James Walker Mar 2016
they say
what doesn't **** you
makes you Stronger
but
the pain lasts and the
blood-pump grows weary,
A heavy
heart is quite the burden
and shoulders only hold
so much..
but,
for as long
as the sun
shines there will be
brightness
The tough times
Are balanced
By good times too

One More Rep
James Walker Mar 2016
Click clack
crash
the plates are
stacked again
do they always have to
drop them?
I understand
the need to feel
the drive to express the self
so day in
day out
the iron is pumped
the veins are filled with the
blood of men turned
warriors but they leave
warriors turned men
A day at work

A Day in the Life of...
James Walker Mar 2016
The wind dances about
me
the Sun warms my
eyelids as I look down
at my shoes
it's
chilly but
the beer makes it
okay
the singer is
gentle and
maybe these phones have
value after all and
I am in
love

the keys I
touched
and unlocked My

as warmth
radiated From the

I made a friend

I am filled
with
the deepest
sensation of
gratitude because today
I saw an opening
in the cloudy
Sky
and
the sun looked upon
my wishing
skin warming every
fabric of
my being and I
realized I am
Alive
Life is a beautiful, precious thing

A Time for Change
James Walker Mar 2016
I am about
to write a most beautiful
poem
for the stars of the sky
are akin to the sea
with life in every corner of
the universe and we
will see soon, so soon
that corruption
has left us used up and
it's time for paradise on
Mother earth...
so our
fingers will touch
many hands will join and
the connection will be felt
by All

Your eyes
they are...grey?
she smiles head shakes hair,
dances
blue?
smile brightens they
are hazel
she was very affectionate
been a long time since I met,
one like that without, the
screeching
her dog jumped
on the bed I
pushed him off pet him
she touches arm I touch
leg and

so much leg and we go
back to sleep
She was from Wisconsin

The Truth
James Walker Mar 2016
let it be known
be shown
what there is for eyes to see
we will grow
and die
and live
and be
with
and without
but the balance is everything and
the Present is all that
exists

What are those marks on your leg
I asked
After much oooh and ahh
dancing the night away
she reached over to the
window sill
and showed me a
razor blade
the marks some of them
are for me she said
it was there when she left
to ***
three kidneys made her go often
maybe just throw it away I sat thinking
I blew dark gray smoke
and left

The End
James Walker Mar 2016
I sit here reading poetry
and waiting, waiting
People are loving
right now
walking their dogs,
shopping
playing with their kids
and eating
while I sit here and wait
to die
but death *****
and if I could I would
not die but I wasn't given
a choice

Hustle and bustle in the cafe
today just like
another day
Shuffling feet
Go every way
Just a good coffee, customer
prey
they Want
they have
nothing
They're bulbous forms and
greed
Here's a tip,
Quit
and go
...Home

Society and Flaw
James Walker Mar 2016
Society and Flaw
Surely lie hand and hand
The pencil and the paper
Given to untrue man
The government corrupt, society can't see
A slave to politician, is all we'll ever be
Trained that right was right
When right was truly wrong
These thoughts instilled within us
To keep politic strong
A song was sang to lure us
Into the wicked sea
Of lies and deception, the truth can never be
Weak family, strong state
It's what's right, control their fate
Pointless electives in the college
Surely to keep us within *******
A scheme of money plain in sight
But still found hard to see
A slave to politician, is all we'll ever be
Freedom of speech is without reach
Cuz speak and you'll be found
Floating in a river, sure to be face down
Never thinking for self, always for the man
The man holds the paper, and so he's cuffed your hand
Bound to the flaws of which we cannot see
A slave to politician, is all we'll ever be
Last of my poems from 2010. Last of my poems on the war

Oil
James Walker Mar 2016
Oil
Oil, oil, black as night
Tonight we stand tonight we fight
You say it's yours but we don't care
Give us oil, that's what's fair!
War we bring cuz war we want
Missiles will sing a tyrants haunt
Flag of glory tonight made gory
Bodies will die, that's our story!
Fury ignites, revenge takes flight
Bomb us again you never will!
Tonight we come in, for the ****
Yeah we america, we so real!
We got all the oil, We can steal!
It's ours, now can we end this war?
Or will money forever make us a *****...
On the war in Iraq. 2010, age 16

Boom
James Walker Mar 2016
Boom, boom
Explosions sound
A birds around
Dropping pellets
Running screaming, the people say
Please stop dropping, for just today
Prayer unanswered, crops destroyed
Beauty now rendered, a lifeless void
Pilot smiles, his job well done
Onto the next town, he found it fun
Medals and glory await his return
All he has to do, is make people burn
Cry and scream, the good it will do
Bird drops the pellets, gone are you
Simple command, life in hand
They say to stand but we can't fight
Bird chooses death and bird is right
All for the money.....is that not tight?
Another from 2010. 16 and angry at the war, this was my voice against it

Beautiful Siren
James Walker Mar 2016
A target in sight
Filled with fright
I must succeed
But this ain't right
Compulsions pull
Yet I'm no fool
This lust, this hunger
It makes me drool
The water below me is now a pool
Swim I must so swim I go
Enter the pond and now I flow
My call is answered and I succeed
In the room I plant my seed
A passion with fashion a Sirens call
Her voice serene, I give my all
The bed was creakin and now it falls
To pieces as I waddle in the sin
I pray I cry is this the end
Why must my love be such a pain
All I wanted was to get some brain
So much fun to run that game
I gotta stop if I am to stay sane
Another poem from 2010. I was 16, the second one I've written

An Old Friend
James Walker Mar 2016
The moon in the sky
    A feeling of fly
  The corona ever bright
This feeling oh-so-right
   The message would appeal
    If they would just get real
     Cuz my ambitions pouring
    I've got no time to ****
   The essence at my feet
  The pulling at my head
The provocations as I sleep
The pounding in my bed
  Life was good when I was lost though  
found I find it better
    Back to the old days when music was good and there was no need for the crimson sweater
   I try and try I must succeed
there is  no other choice
  I will be heard, I will be spoken,
power will be my voice
Business made, money conquered,   passions sliced, that won't suffice
  The breath of the dead are filled with ice
  The passion of the flame ain't nothin nice
Play....and get burned
I wrote this in 2010, my first poem

Smiling
Running through outstretched
Hands
Waving to a visitor
The young man
Listens
Sun beaming down
In the forest we call
Park
