A sniffle and a sneeze
You dwelled on wants and needs
You were proned to ill content
Yet, still soft enough to squeeze
Through a bright red nose you breathe
Water in your eyes
Mucus on your sleeve
Here’s hoping you feel better
Quickly as can be

Red sundown and silhouettes
Sliding down the mountains edge
A subtle breeze and string quartet’s
Heard while looking down a steep descent
Picture perfect; heaven sent
On snow covered hills

I pray the day will never come
When I somehow cannot smile
Being undisturbed
Conflicts not my style
But it’s true I haven’t had a good fight in a while
So I scrummage up some courage
That I had many years back when
And I stand in solidarity
With whom many I call friends
I’ll fight for your freedom
As I hope you would fight for mine
We’re together in this battle
And together we’ll be fine

There’s strength in solid roots
That grew from a small seed
They grow up tall
But beneath it all
They’re in dire need
Of affection
A tender touch
The precious air we breathe
Not cut down to build playgrounds
But maybe that’s just me

I need something beautiful  beautiful and free
I need something beautiful That only I can see
I need something beautiful
That wants to be with me
I need something beautiful
Something that won’t flee

I need something beautiful
To think about all day
I need something beautiful
Let me count the ways
I need something beautiful
To lead me through the maze
I need something beautiful
It’s what my body craves

I need something beautiful
To hold me to my word
I need something beautiful
I don’t think it’s absurd
I need something beautiful
To rustle up the herd
I need something beautiful
Something I deserve

With thunder comes the drama
A stormy weather scene
Through the rain and lightning
The wind begins to breathe
Huffing and puffing
Viciously conceived
A hurricane is brewing
Agrees the fallen trees
Puddles form with rapid speed
The skies lit up like day
Until the weather slows; subsides
The clouds are pale and gray
Sickly if you will
It’s not my place to say
It just may need a little sunshine
For the rain to go away

Some like to selfie
Some like bad jokes
Some like to inspire
Some like to boast

Some like to interact
Some like to teach
Some like to learn
Some like to preach

Some like to be bitter
Some like cartoons
Some like the winter
Some like balloons

Some like to imagine
Some like what’s real
Some like to take action
Some lack ***-appeal

Some like to take risks
Some like to eat
Some like to torture
Some like to feast

Some like to entertain
Some like the peace
Some like to remain
Some like the beach

Some like to dive in
Some like to set sail
Some like to bet horses
Some like to prevail

Some like to seek heaven
Some like to sin
Some like to pretend
Some like to win

Some like the meaning
Some like the routine
Some like canaries
Some like their dreams

They navigated by touch
They could feel their way around
Without the use of sight
Without the use of sound
They tunneled until the brink
Until the earth began to shake
They tunneled with a purpose
This was no mistake

His ears twitch, eyes roll
The wiggle of his nose
Fast asleep
Where dreams roam free
Completely uninhabited
Totally exposed
A warm bed
To sleep in late at night
Rejuvenating energy
Life force burning bright
So rest
Until daylight persists
Then wake up to something
You simply can’t resist

I can’t comprehend it fully
What it takes to be a bully
It isn’t something I would ever do
They belittle the small and weak
Then turn the other cheek
And acts like that, really get me fumed
They say “be the bigger man”
But I say take a stand
And deliver with one punch a sonic boom

Just a puff of cloud
That was all it took
To send him into orbit
When he turned back around to look
The earth was like a marble
Like you see in all the books
But what he saw scared him pale
And left him scared and shook

She takes and breaks
She’s cruel with fools
She conned a man
For all his jewels
She’s fascinated
And fascinating
She’s radiant, but short
She’ll never hesitate to turn you in
Or file a false report
She’s vindictive in her nature
Stares as cold as ice
She’ll only ask you once, not twice
So heed my sound advice
Don’t dance with the devil
Or you might just pay the price

There’s crickets in the garden
The young one’s sound asleep
He gathers by the fences
And watches the sheep leap
On the pillow clouds
With air beneath his feet
He’s able to fly
To the stars in the sky
And collect all the stars just to keep

Out with the riptide
Through turbulent seas
That’s where my mind goes
When I sip my tea
Always adventures
Playing out in my head
Imagination run rampant
With a thin slice of bread
Loading the teaspoon
With coarse salt and preserves
To launch at the waitress
Who by now is perturbed
Just to **** the monotony
Not to cause ruckus or fuss
And maybe put a smile
On her sour ****

He articulates his words
When he tells a tale
A terrific story teller
He succeeds where many fail
He goes on and on about so an so
And he always comes out clear
He has many things he wants to say
And tell to all his peers
It’s already common knowledge
The things he likes to share
But you never know when he’ll say next
So always be prepared

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
