Damp dew on a spider‘s web
Waiting for the sun to rise
In order to catch the insects
With the element of surprise
The works been done
The traps been set
Without much thought
Without regret
Just a silky fiber net
To capture all its prey

In a spooky kind of way
The skies had all turned gray
And the moon was pale and cold to start the winter
In the full moons lazy eye
I could see the witches fly
While screeching laughter heard throughout the night
A stirring chill that reeked of death and fright
And although they tried and failed
  I can still tell the scary tale
To protect you and make sure that you’re alright

His body could not contain
The thoughts within his brain
He must diffuse the news
It’s too hard to refrain
When all is said and done
When there is no one left that hasn’t heard
There’s still anticipation
Before each and every word

A tablespoon
Of salt in wounds
Is bittersweet and ****
Spider webs
Spun anew
Imitating art
Stuck like glue
For later use
Can’t tell the two apart
I sought the truth
I have my proof
Of a captivated heart

I feel stagnant.
Like a stale cigarette.
Not sure where to put my energy
Without instant regret
So I freeze up and I don’t react
While keeping my mental health intact
But the days are slipping by
Clouds dimming out my shine
For what tomorrow brings
For us all as human beings
This weighs heavy on my chest
One more cause to feel depressed
Stuck with racing thoughts
Standing still without progress
Masking my distraught

On the long stairway to heaven
There aren’t many things to see
Clouds abundantly dispersed
Hovering by your feet
Walking into an empty sky
Towards the glowing light
Taking one step at a time
Before taking flight

An affinity for gazing
Up, and far beyond
Surrendering my suspicion
That the stars have left and gone
But, they were in all their splendor
A twinkle in the eye
At least they’ve given me a chance to wave and say goodbye

I’m enamored with the starlight
As a candles wick gets lit
Casting off tall shadows
On the walls near where I sit
As I gaze up at the stars
Not a one seems dim
Just a multitude of sparkling dots
That’s making the moon grin

What can stop a yearning love
And hearts filled with desire
Scorching through the atmosphere
Like a star on fire💫🔥
The ajoined souls of two heartbeats
With all that is required
Fixed by you, and stirred in stew
The ingredients prepared prior

I looked up to heaven
Then down to hell
I wondered exactly
Just how far it was that you fell?
Was it the garden of Eden
Where you first came to dwell?
Was it Lucifer’s persuasion?
Were you under his spell?
Biting the apple
Did you feel some remorse?
Considering the instructions
From a magnanimous source
Was it inevitable
Or an unforeseen force?
That led to disaster
And set us off course
Was Adam unwilling
Did you persuade him as well?
I guess what I’m asking
Is if you’re the gateway to hell?

I dove into the ocean
The dry land I wouldn’t miss
It was my every last intention
To steal a mermaids kiss
That’s when I saw the creature
Would I finally get my wish
To defy the laws of nature
And sink down into bliss

I realize now that life‘s a gift
Since I found my course and set adrift
I left behind the ghosts of past
That made everyday feel like my last
But I reached a new plateau
Stayed close to what I know
Leaving just room enough to grow
Without stepping on peoples toes

Step Up


I’m on a losing streak
Every move that I make only seems to get beat.

I don’t let it get to me, though
I know I’ll find a way to get back on my feet.

Wow, the audacity
Keeping me in tow  
Just to uncover its majesty

I’m quite unique like that
Keeping you in trance
While I’m speaking my peace

It’s a real travesty
Unable to recognize the person staring back at me
Oh, the agony

The man, he’s standing right there in front of me
His eyes are wise
But hold a great deal of mystery

Kind of like a hybrid dispensary
Under lock and key
Steady have you jonesing
For some controversy

Something to help forget about strike one, two, and three.
By the way, can something please be done about all the brutality?

I need to get some sleep
But sometimes your thoughts can keep you up on your feet

Trying to figure it out
How to get from A to B
and not go without
Doing it instinctively
Whether or not your in doubt

Respectfully speaking of course
Wouldn’t want to make waves
Or treat life like a sport

Where last is first
Somewhere, a Cockeyed Cucamonga
Is dying of thirst

Everywhere there is water
But not a drop to drink
Volcano’s about to erupt
Shedding light for a second before you realize it’s corrupt

The whole **** things a sham
Beating down my door like I’m in high demand
Just because that you can?!

Enough is enough
Time to step up or die trying
It is a choice, I have my voice
So why is it that I’m still here deciding?

The stigma of my hysteria
Is a rollercoaster of a ride
The ups and downs
The ins the outs
And also side to side
It’s enough to make one nauseous
Completely sick to death
Not knowing how to cope at all
With the thoughts inside my head

We stir the *** of contemplation
We simmer through and through
Together, with fresh ingredients
We concoct a hardy stew
To be served with a cocktail
Possibly a few
Then we take a bite, with pure delight
And begin to slowly chew

A stolen glance
A heartbeat missed
A daydream, of pouty lips
The gentle touch of holding hands
The sacred vow of woman; man
Not the emptiness of a one night stand
But joined together in a whole life span
A daydream in the afternoon
Dizzy; for my heart beats true
With thoughts of you
With thoughts of you

“Strangled by a jellybean”
Is what they’ll all make claim
If this is to be his last breath
For lack of oxygen to the brain
Choking on a candy
With a funny name
It’s hard to make much sense of
Let alone explain
How a boy and a jellybean
Turned into such a disarray

Entrenched to the outer world
Rooted to its core
Pulsing through its inner works
So much to explore
Disrupted, to where it struck a nerve
That’s too hard to ignore
Through meditation, and conversation
In search of something pure
And after all is said and done
Who could ask for more?

The sunshine‘s lost behind the clouds
It can’t seem to break through
Hindered by the gloom and doom
On a dreary afternoon
Specks of light now shines past
In little rays of hope
Like strings of yarn from high above
Twisted like a rope
Pulled closer to it’s orifice
Peeking out some more
Finding different avenues
For it to explore
Standing on the presuppose
Of Gods golden shore
Waiting for the blistering sun
To open the sky door
Let itself get noticed
It’s presence felt and warm
Fighting off the rain clouds
Brewing up a storm
With hopes to see a nicer day
In what some may call “the norm”

Flowers wilting, peddles fall
The sun behind the clouds
Heavy thunder trembling
Lightning all around

Electric bolts sent by Zeus himself
Disregards the poor, the wealth
Waiting by the windowsill
A gray day and its stubborn will

Light the flame within your soul
The bright and vibrant inner glow
The need to fight
The need to know

The sunshine reaches out to grow
It’s strength it’s force stronger than stone
Contemplating the unknown
Where trees now stand, fully grown

What I see when I look at you
Are eyes of sky and ocean blue
Lips of red, wet like dew
Hair so fine, soft and true

You fill my heart, through and through
I’m so lucky that you love me too
You put me in such a great mood
Your every motion, right on cue

A work of art, my only muse
Of everyone, it’s me you choose
With you by my side, I cannot lose
I’ve done my time, I’ve paid my dues

If you were only in my shoes
You’d know what it is that I’ve been through
You’ve won my heart, I’m stuck like glue
You’ve got nothing more to prove

In my arms, calm, subdued
Supple neck, I can’t refuse
All alone, just us two
Together we are front page news

I listened to him stutter
I could tell it irked him so
He hardly talked to others
He just watched them as they go
Leaving for forever
Paying every toll
He gathered his belongings
Tied them to a pole
Then said that he was staying
Until he could gain control

Sitting at home alone tonight
When I could be airborne taking flight
I wish and wish with all my might
I know one day I’ll see the light

Thirsty on the desert sand
Water highly in demand
Listen to the Lord‘s command
Take me to a far off land

Suffocating humidity
Steam rising from the streets
Dismantling all of my impurities  
I never meant to keep

The rain, it falls from high above
Cloudy, like my brain
But I’d rather not speak of it
If it’s all the same

Festering like a bee hive
Danger to the queen
Swarming like the honey bee
Yet, I still feel it’s sting

Healthy and appealing
The pleasure that it brings
Is it worth the cost
For all those without wings?

Sweet, yet unrefined
In its purist form
Coagulated syrup
Natures unicorn

She’s my American dream
Part of my team
Cunning and kind
The likes of which I’ve never seen
Playful and nice
Some sugar, some spice
She conquered her demons
Without thinking twice
And what’s left of the doubt
Through in and through out
Positive thinking
Is what it’s all about

‪She’d been battered for some time ‬
‪Spoke as if everything were fine‬
‪She rarely smiled, her life was vile‬
‪Wallowing, amidst all the grease and grime‬

‪Her courage was a virtue‬
‪Despite everything she’d been through‬
‪She had strength of will ‬
‪And a rigid attitude

‪Her name was sullied ‬
‪She’d been bullied ‬
‪But still, her nature was always to be kind‬
A rare quality you seldom ever find

The summers heat
In hot dry waves
Domino’s and lemonade
Sandals, shorts, bikini strings
Ocean views and summer flings
Relaxing down by the pool
Not a single thought of work or school
These are just some things we do
When we are a kid

A winding path through forest trees
Tranquility;
And a summers breeze
A combination of all of these
Helps to put my mind at ease

Through the rustling of the fallen leaves
Rays of light and hot sunbeams
Approaching dusk on a summers eve
Helps me focus on achieving my dreams

‪Lying on a bed of daisies ‬
‪With summers good intent ‬
‪Butterflies and ladybugs dancing on our heads‬
‪Eyes are shut, as we lay in peace‬
‪Listening for the sounds‬
‪Like birds that sing, and flap their wings‬
‪Way up high above the ground ‬
Sun is bright and filled with warmth
As it shines down on this place
Rays of sunlight bounced around
Puts a smile on our face
Vibrant colors here and there
As far as eyes can see
Crisp and clean, and so serine
Brings out the best in me

There was once a time
We knew memories from dreams
When children played outside
Instead of watching TV screens

There was once a time
When children liked to chatter
When they were heard about the town
Filled with cheer and laughter

There was once a time
Fairytales had happy endings
When children stood in awe
When hearts did not need mending

There was once a time
People danced in streets
They welcomed the hot summers
And the warmth of summers heat

There was once a time
We fought for what we had
We had faith in new beginnings
When our word was iron clad

There was once a time
We moved forward from the past
We did not look back in anger  
And loved each moment like our last.

Breathless
You leave me
On a fine day
In the hot summer
Craving
Yearning for
A cool breeze

You’re majestic
A flower petal
Beautiful and sweet
The nectar
The pollen
In the summers heat

In the yard
Sunbathing
Soaking in the sun
Lemonade
And ice
Dancing on my tongue

Birds chirping
Bees buzzing
Bright and green
And blue
Heat wave
On a Sunday afternoon

Walks along the endless trails
Amidst dandelions and daffodils
Pansies and petunias at last
Fill the air with sweet finesse
Colors bright with radiant hues
Yellows, greens, pinks, and blues
An assemblance of their beauties scent
For the utmost and their betterment
As with landscapes and with wishing wells
Fairy dust and witches spells
Plush green grass and tall thick trees
That make a Sunday walks so calm; serine

Sunshine on a myriad of sunflowers
Stretching out and rising
to endless bright blue skies
Happy lengthy flowers
In a yellow pedal sea
Existing on this planet
Just like you and me
Fields and fields of blossomed belle
Enamored with the sun
Basking in its radiance
Each and every one

Here goes the tale of sunken ships
That vanish into thin air
The crew had quickly come to grips
That no lives would be spared
The sea swallowed them up whole
Then spat out debris and bone
Carnage, and loose wood adrift
Along with every sailors soul

Desperately seeking your approval
Life goes by so fast
Every day is brutal
How long will it last

If only I could hold you
You could save the day
Like a superhero
With uniform and cape

You could save us all
Stand Up 10 feet tall
Cast away the danger
Make sure that we don’t fall

I know that you can do it
We all believe in you
Your temperament is witty
I know that you’ll come through

Fight off all our enemies
You’re the pillar of mankind
Send them off to another world
That would be just fine

Save us from self-destruction
The world as we know now
We’re in need of your protection
I know you’ll come through somehow

Leap from a tall building
Spread your wings and fly
Come up with a solution
No more should have to die

It’s been best described by experts
About the speed in which they race
About the supersonic conclusion
At the finish line in space
Intergalactic speed traps
When they cross over the line
But able to see clearly
Through the fabric of their mind

Raining on our wedding day
As superstition goes
Luck, as it would have it
Outweighs the cons and pros
Mysteriously consensus
to my every conscious whim
To be with you both day and night
My patience too, wears thin
But diligence and fortitude
in my nature does exist
And if I had to live without you, you’d be missed

Sanity, insanity
Loud and proud, transparency
Visualize, close your eyes
If need be, fantasize
Love and hate, or despise
Count your sheep, hypnotized
Stand up to, or run and hide
Problems large, or magnified
Veer off course, or stay in stride
Lift you up, or fall behind
Feeling loved, romanticize
Losing, lost, won the prize
Disregard, at least you tried
All of it to my surprise

Never stopped my dreaming
My imagination free from sin
Never stopped believing
I someday would win
Gaining some momentum
On the track of life I go
Making my own reality
The star of my own show
Following my heart
Forever free to roam
Reaching up to heaven
Surrendering my soul

With every day anew
We don our fake disguises
With the season drawing near
It's time to manifest a crisis

As we're forced to look within ourselves
We're only left to our devices
We begin to discard all our heavy wool
And offer it as sacrifices

From the nucleus of a tiny atom
To beyond what the eye can see
In this universal paradigm
All that's left is you and me

However minuscule we are
In our galaxy's design
Mankind continues to be unaware  
The worlds been swallowed by the tide

But every knock we've ever encountered
We've sustained and persevered
Our will has been our saving grace
We shall not disappear!

She swallowed a star and spit out a wish
Then said with a scowl and a raised arm and fist
“My dreams should come true, and my wishes be met”
Then she dodged all my questions like a goalie deflects
I varied my angles
I was upfront and direct
But she shunned my advances with abandoned neglect
So I took off my gloves, and I pleaded my case
She looked in my eyes and we got face-to-face
Then she turned, and she left, for her trip into space
And I was voted to savior of the whole human race

You had my undying devotion
With just a simple little motion
Setting sail out into the sea
But, between all of the commotion
Sailing on the ocean
That’s when everything got swept up in the breeze
At first the wind was swirling
Which caught us by surprise
But all got calm and quiet
When I looked into your eyes
And that is where I found my peace
That is when I knew
If I could be anywhere on earth
I’d choose to be with you
