Hey Alisha
Hey up there
I always wondered
Does heaven have stairs
For you to come down
And whisper in my ear
Trying to tell me
You will always be here

Hey Alisha
Hey up there
I hope you know how much we care
here I am sobbing
Not able to cope
You are part of my family
Part of my home
All I wish, is that you aren’t up
There alone

Hey Alisha
Hey up there
I miss your ice cream flavors
And your long silk hair
The way you make anything
Even homemade chairs

Hey Alisha
Hey up there
I don’t like crying alone
Will you cry with me here
Sometimes I know you
Are speaking near
Telling our hearts
To stop
The heartbreaking tears

Hey Alisha
Hey up there
I know your in a better place
That’s what they all say
But your family needs you
And so do I
None of us wanted to
Say goodbye

But god decided you are too good for us
You deserve to be an angel
Above the dust
So I guess now we must say
Goodbye
As long as your happy

I’ll try not to cry
I miss you. You were a beautiful mother of 7. You will be missed. But I know you are looking down of all of us

Utilitarian Love Poem**

You are aesthetically pleasing,
the reason for which I first noticed in you.
And later I found your personality equally pleasing.
I also noted your chest to waist ratio is suitable for birthing.
Therefore, I think you should live in my house.
Probably the least romantic, but biologically accurate, love poem ever written!

I've grown so accustomed, oh
To my little spot in space and time
So Alisha told me come over later
I can problably change your mind
So I took the time out
As the clock spins a wheel around
And the radio plays the song
The one that stuck inside my head
About being
all alive
little dead
So the read lights slap me
Down at every single stop
Until I reach the corridor
The place all around with cops
But I don't mind OH
I lit a cigarette and saw
Her wave me down from
Alabama or Arkansas
I stepped inside with
Trepidation on  my tongue
I saw the faces
Of people who I didn't know
But they knew Molly
And they knew Mary Jane
So we got along with
Conjunctions in between their names
Now I can't recall the words
Or the ******* a soaking dose
She said her name was Something
Have you ever seen a ghost?
Are you tripping
Hey man
Not yet
Someones flipping
through a t.v stuck on mute
But the stereo plays a song
One that I know quite well
Something dances and she sings along
But she's dancing with someone else
Ally loads the pipe with
Dimethyltryptamine
She said it's alright Oh
You can split it up with me
then
the plastic inhale
I count to three or four
I see Something looking
up at me from the floor
As if she knew the code
To a secret quiet door
In the middle of time and space
She said
You can save the world
But you've gotta **** the human race


Than I was a space invader
I had a ray gun in my hand
A sunshine walker
Maybe God is who I am
Or was it fractal light
Oh,
It could have been the end of time
But it was only five o'clock
It was only five o'clock
On the tenth day of June
I can see the face of God
And I speak the name of doom
You know when it's quiet
that tingle on your neck
You feel so connected
With everything
You disconnect
i find
the way to
take it all away
But I just can't come back
Now that I Know it all
God opened the safe
I found what I wanted deep inside
Yet
I want to much
so I climb in and fall
Into a black invasion
Of my senses up against the wall
I am everything that I have
You are every bit a part of you

then she came so sweetly
Did you even have to say my name
I tried speaking
I forgot then anyway
I really didnt have a tounge
But i sure have a mind
I bet you have one too
If you only ask me once
If you only ask me once
If you only ask me once
You would exhale
I would break
Into pieces on the floor
There I will awake
In the arms of a lover
Or maybe someone knew
Something held me closer
Her skin like morning dew
She whispered sweetly
Now you really know the way
But if you had to ask me
I really don't know a thing
I woke up in Omaha Nebraska off California street
with the sun kissing me through the open window
I woke up with no alarm,
Alarmed by the fact that I might be late for work
But I wasn't
In fact I was right ON time
Put off by the fact that it was nothing or no one that awoke me,
But my own conscious self
Knowing somehow, that even with my eyes closed
My thoughts were wide open
I was fully aware
My naked body arose from where I slept
And crept up in a home ( not of my own )
To awkwardly put on MY OWN clothes
Through someone else's window
.. I start to think ..
How often I really have put on my own clothes
Through someone else's window
Looking closely now,
I change the word 'window' to 'perception'
Kind of like my own sort of window,
My own way of perception
How often I dress myself for the occasion,
or better yet, THEIR occasion
How often I've put on those skinny jeans,
Because YOU like them
How often I wear a bra
Because you don't want to see what my *****
look like through my favorite silk shirt
When I say 'you' - You know who you are
At least, you know who you might be
How often times people do things for you
How often times you do things for other people
How often you hold yourself back from being you - at all
How many times I have held myself back from being me,
And **** it's such a shame. I am ashamed.
Honestly by the most simple things
Overthinking a compliment I want to give someone
Because we are about to pass each other on the same side of the street
Avoiding their eye contact by just looking down
And staring at my own feet

COOL. REALLY. COOL.

I have been wearing these moccasins for 4 months now, Alisha
They look good, but I already know this
I am not the one who needs to hear it
Especially, not from myself
And I don't know them at all, but maybe,
Just maybe, what I want to say to them
Could break down what we all thought was an everlasting wall
Whether it be MINE or THEIRS
At the end of the chapter,
A wall that separates us from our own freeedom
Where we break down all similar walls and learn to defeat them
If anything, a smile, maybe a compliment back,
Not even to myself, but the next person down the track
It's a small movement, but I want it to move
I am making this promise to myself,
Because I want to improve
I want to make things that are so simple
More common in this world
Things that should not be overlooked,
Spread out amongst everyone and painted on their face like a mural
Desire for this righteous fire I want to be in power of
Spreading my smile for literal miles
Like Noahs Ark and that sacred white dove
The best thing about a dove is
It is just but a white pigeon
And every pigeon is capable of finding its white dove within him

It is there, and it always has been
Right under your sleeve
In the sliver of your grin
We can make this world more than you ever imagined
The power behind the strength of passion
When people come together in the form of one
When we all hold hands
Do you know what is being done
Connection is so out of this world
Touch is what keeps us in this treacherous swirl
Deadly sins that we latch on to
Riding the dragon is what we need to
Do, and do again
Tell the entire world, and invite all your friends
We are all Great Gods in this lonesome kingdom
The path to aloness is what is hidden underneath you
Very beneath you, you will have to fight
Fight to the death of your ego inside
It holds no mold, despite all you have been told
This world will **** you in,
and drag down your immortal soul
It is there, and it always has been
I will show you the road
Soften your ego, and create a new mold
You could stay here forever if what you look for is gold
Not the the gold that you see, but the gold that you feel
Not in front of your eyes, but what is actually real
No picture or place, No space or time
Use what you want to invent your new rhyme
Rhythm is now, rhyming is here
The goal of music
(Your mathematical medicine, my dear)
Replace your body with tunes of the soul
Sing the great white song
And let the youth be OH SO BOLD
Bolder than you could have possibly pictured
The movie you've been waiting for
Is your motion picture
Event, that is happening now
Sit back and enjoy
Those who don't know are your crowd


That in itself is exceptionally sad
Why would you leave behind your loved ones
Your mom or your dad
Your sister or brother
Your dead cousin or grandmother
They have no conscious awareness
It was never their fault
It was never their meaning to forever fall
The change of pace is now in your hands
This entire universe is inside you,
Give awareness a chance
Keep guiding yourself towards this lightning bolt feeling
Let it live inside you
Realize what your keeping
To yourself and not sharing
This selfishness will sink
It is absolutely more powerful than you could possibly think
It is the path to aloneness,
but who wants to be alone?
We could all share this peace
Let us connect and hold hands
Give our dark sins the golden control
Rustle McBride May 2016
I wish that I could be there
to start you on your way
to tell you how I'll miss you
and wish that you could stay

to remind you of the good times
of which I have only heard
But that I see in Tonya's eyes
as she tells me every word

Alisha, you have good friends
as do your boyfriend and your son
In Tonya you have many
of which I am only one
For my wife's friend as she moved away

Maria and I are watching a movie.
Suddenly, we are the movie.
I'm sitting with my legs propped up.
Some guy I don't know comes up to me.
He rubs my leg and calls me Alisha.
I say, "That's not my name."
I push him away.
He finds me again.
I keep running away.

Maria and I are outside now.
There are a lot of people.
We're on a platform and the guy finds me again.
He grabs me and starts to drag me away.
I try to fight but I can't get away.
I see a group of boys.
I look at them but I can't scream.
I can hear Maria screaming.
One of them runs toward us.
I think he's going to help.
But he's in on it, too.
Somehow, I get away.

We run to the woods.
There are a bunch of girls.
They are against us but ignore us completely.
One of them has a metal rod.
She's heating the end of it with a lighter.
She's burning the other girls with it.
They let her.
She touches her fingers to the burning end.
They glow in the same way.
She begins to burn the girls with her fingers.
She comes up to me and Maria.
Her fingers are dulling.
I say, "Don't touch me."
She says, "I'm going to burn you."
She touches my arm.
All I say is, "I'm going to push you down this hill."
I push her forehead and she rolls down the hill.
She lands, unmoving, in the ditch.

Maria and I are watching television again.
I say, "Do you want to watch another movie?"
She replies, "Yeah. Rocky Horror Picture Show."
A dream I had.

Once again
the smiling bearded man
thinks He is offending Me with His impertinence

Apparently unaware
with His cloistered flair
that He may have to return to Me for more info later
despite His verbal flatulence

Work for free
is all He can see
despite His being blessed exceedingly

One can only hope
this is a mental skill He uses to cope
That He reports compliance as suggested
and treats the intended subject decently

Don't do this to My kid
there is no valid reason for You to skid
You certainly have the dollars

Keep performance Art flowing
Keep this young woman knowing
It should not cost Her to keep Your soul hollering

I have faith
and will pray as I wait
that logic and sanity will follow

If I have to pay Her
since I was nipped to refer Her
that future acts will not ring pitifully hollow

Think when You shirk
You were paid for Your work
and resorted to eye rolling, neck twisting, finger snapping
macho nacho attitude if the check was late

I point out no more no less
when You experience Alisha's word fest
that You acknowledge the young woman is great

And deserves more than a thimble full of
demonstrated r-e-s-p-e-c-t

music got me thru my darkest days
bands who i still adore even now
coz this is a rock n roll love

their songs became the soundtrack
to my life in the bad, mad and sad times
doing what i did and living life

getting the wrong girls pregnant
street racing cars and crashing them
fighting opponents i could never defeat

being at war with everything in life
drinking and drinking like it was forever
i went to the gigs and bought the t-shirts

all about eve, voice of the beehive, the bangles,
def leppard, guns n roses, metallica,
the mission, the cult, suzanne vega,

tanita tikaram, del amitri, aztec camera,
alisha’s attic, sunscreem and a thousand more
they are the reason i’m alive today...

— The End —
