Inner Peace
Evil is everywhere, monsters don't hide in closets,
they roam the streets, sponges of malvolent twisted minds,
The devil is not a fallen Angel, but born from a unfortunate mother,
Where's the bogeyman ? we need only turn on the **** tube, or look out the window or across the kitchen table,
Where Do I find my Inner Peace? No mediative state of mind, not a prayer to nothing.....I have a pistol and six bullets.

The Red Teapot sits lonely atop my stove,
Never filled and never heated,
A reminder,
Hearts apart, we fade with every sunset
Drifting memories, lingering thoughts,
They always end up at the same place,
Stored somewhere between fantasy and reality,
Winter cascades, pushing out your summer's touch
You were my sunshine, the clouds give me comfort now
The cold embraces my heart, the chill reaches deep
I miss you,
You gave me music, and today it still sings to me
Art, Passion, I cherish your gifts to me,
Oh how I regret taking so long to attain my darling little boiler,
Today, I will fill my beautiful teapot and it will not be alone, I’ll heat it
And I will drink, and the soothing warm liquid will unfreeze my soul

Rocks, Dirt, Flesh & Bone,
Under my feet,
I search for space,
For my grief to breath,
What has become of this Man?
When a woman’s light touch,
Can lift a heavy heart,
Rifle strapped on my back,
Ammunition carried in a sack,
My weapon is unloaded,
Blood & Guts,
Is the War over?
Or did I lose the first battle?
Can I really go home?
I’ve changed, become estranged,
Do you want me?
I think of you, as I wander through the fog, across the lazy jungle
Anticipating the burning pain to pierce my armor,
Letting me feel,
In a dream,
I held you in my arms,
Felt you dying,
Unrelenting sadness,
I’m powerless,
You turn to me, and whisper,
Your Journey is over; it ends here in my arms,
Your tears wash my face
It’s me, It’s you, It’s Us
I turn and watch the zipper slide over my eyes,
Into darkness.

I sit in my pit all alone,
A ladder of words I was thrown
so I ascend on words Known,
and unknown,
on my way to my throne,
once hesitate,
I came upon self-hate,
so I quicken my pace,
on a word so divine,
I stepped into a world,
of sunshine,

On the surface, all typical answers,
Stay in shape, and keep the weight off,
I enjoy, and love the competitive spirit,
I want to beat you at the finish line,
and then shake your hand,
I want to be your friend and wish you good luck
I want to stand next to you on the podium
But I run deep,
I run because I have to replenish the blood loss,
From the heart I keep cutting open,
I run because I hurt you,
I run because I broke so many promises,
I run from a past which haunts me,
I run like the wind needing to escape,
I run for my future,
I run for my life

I have a weakness for a boy
with shadows in his eyes
and fire in his throat.
When he speaks,
like a dragon,
he exhales his truth
singeing all those who dare
come close.
A knowing fool,
I dance daringly
through the flames;
aching for a glimpse
behind a mask
he doesn’t know
that he still wears.

I want you here,
when tomorrow never comes,
I want you here,
What's on my bucket list?
I have no idea
I want you here
I had my chance,
I did what I could,
I want you here,
when tomorrow never comes,
Passion rode on a crest of a wave,
I swam in love's ocean,
I want you here,
when tomorrow never comes,
No prayers, the sky is full,
Stars are saturated,others may be needed,
mine are answered,
I want you here,
when tomorrow never comes,
I'll bask in my memories,
revists my moments,
I only want to hold your hand,
When tomorrow never comes,
I want you here.

Warm Rain,
Warm Rain falls, flushes away my pain,
You can’t know me, but I’ll always know you,
Your smile and your needs have changed me,
I didn’t know how to care, until I held your innocence,
Distant memory of my broken pieces,
I’ve come together, for a purpose,
For your safety, for your life,
Warm Rain falls, flushes away my sorrow,
Warm Rain

You have my soul,
You own my heart,
There’s not much left of either, only crumbs
Like a cookie half eaten by a child,
Scolded,
You don’t want any of it,
Poison
I know courses through my veins
But we can’t change it,
We swallowed,
I didn’t know the dose was potent,
Now only time can dilute,
I ran out of time,
No antidote only sorrow

Lady love
Young and Innocent, Not in my world,
Maybe a thousand years ago, No fifty shades of grey, only black,
My joy being with pop-pop, his joy his Lady Love adorned in White Powder we would visit.
12 yrs old, I was commissioned, a guard, a lookout, a soldier, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, armed with a fork and instructions from pop-pop on how to gouge an eye. (Just in case) we ventured to visit Lady Love.
I was ready, a knight in confused armor.
42th street, nobody's dancing, Bright lights washing the hopeless,
"Stay here, I'll be right back, keep a eye out for the bad men in blue"
Alone, armed with a fork, fear, and apprehension, I pushed down below, you see, I adore the man I needed and wanted to be here. the power of Lady Love.
Bus ride home, Dad out like a light dreaming of heaven,
I'm happy, I love the man,
No dreams of heaven or hell for me
I have my poems.

Tiny feet on a sparse beach, reflection of soft sunlight
A journey begins, water stretched for millions of miles
No rush to leave the warmth of the sand,
The hourglass dropped the last grain,
Like a newborn seal I take the plunge,
The wet cold quickly gives away to bliss,
I reach for my sails, Youth navigates my way
Fearless, Reckless, I venture unchartered
Holding strong against the first storm,
The tranquility of the morn’ warms my soul,
But I could no longer quell,
the pirate in my heart, demanding captives;
the weight of the ransom was too much
I capsized, in a fierce storm of self-hate,
my lungs fill with devil’s brew
I’m drowning, once, twice, over, and over,
until I couldn’t drown anymore
is when I was plucked onto the quiet shore of my home’s heartbeat.
My heart split into two
In deep dark waters, I’ve given up on me
The Journey continues

A New Dawn,
She lies still, in dreams
Embraced in a cocoon,
Of woven, warm blankets,
Sadness hides the beauty,
Caused by life’s caustic nature,
Sunlight creeps, like a forgotten lover
In her room,
Massages her feet,
Flushing away miles of hurt,
Embracing her hips,
Remnants of passion past,
Cuddles her *****
Erasing her loneliness,
Caresses her neck,
Bringing her joy,
Kissing her rosy lips,
Mending her broken heart,
Wake up Beauty
It’s a new Dawn,

I pass,
Through this doorway,
Many times before,
I’ve forgotten the distance,
Lost count,
One step, one year,
Two steps, ten years,
Memories stretch, portraits fade
Lost and broken,
I stand at this doorway.
Scared
I wasn’t supposed to be here
Like this,
My plan crumbled in defeat,
Dream fell to the floor,
gave my heart away,
Nothing left to say or feel,
Just breath and smell
Your perfume,
I reach for handle and turn the ****

Poison
Your love is like poison,
I thought, as I lay sprawled on the cold gravel
Blood and tooth free to travel, and play in the dirt
Gary Wright & his band Spooky tooth fill my mind,
You broke my heart, so I bust your Jaw
Great Album, loved the “70”s
It started around a month, a century, a week? I don’t know? I lost track
I was in the forbidden palace, the gritty, and the grimy.
You know the Joint,Yea the Soul Sickness,
The place I keep running to, The black hole I cling to, live-in and bath in.
I’m one of the lucky few, not to get it
I must have been at the wrong place at the wrong time,
Force Majuer here you come, the Rush,
pulse-pounding sensual stick of dynamite,
looking for someone to light your fuse,
Yea, I’m weak, need a match?
Oh yea we’re the perfect couple,
we beg, we devour, we bleed our disease into each other.
It’s never enough; our enough doesn’t exist and never did.
Satisfaction is never guaranteed
You crave more,
I need more,
you want more,
I desire more,
more, more, and nevermore
I asked you if you love me?.
You told me, you don’t know what love is?,
but we have something special,
As you grind your hips into my lap and lady love entered my veins,
Lust disguise as passion?,
A void filled with love?
But your love is poison,
And I’m dying a slow death,
I watch from the ground,
Your mud-caked high-heeled shoes,
and his new timberland boots walk-away
Yea, the one who busted my face
I pick myself off the ground; brush myself off, stumble into the palace,
Look around my sancutary, notice a barfly, buzz, buzz and buzz right out a broken window.....I order a shot of antidote.

Dawn bleeds, in a world gone dark,
Swept in by the wind, escapes horror's clutch,
Deceived by a serpent, wrath of almighty,
the gentle rain washes the skin, away the sin,
It's time to write our story, In a new Book,
Stay with me until the world begins again,

Walking with the weekly dregs, of soup cans, tomatoes, & cauliflower,
Passing the empty stares, vacant looks and rude remarks,
It must be Halloween, look at all the Zombies, please no treats,
or tricks,
I have joined the masses,
My cart has a broken wheel and constantly shifts to the left
Pressure to the Right, no back to the Left,
The 200lb's of cat litter doesn’t help,
Beware of The “Cat Lady”, Yes, I have become The “Cat Man”
Just as Crazy,
Listening “Sir could you tell me where I can find the lower sodium Gefilte fish”? did I even spell Gefilte right?
Aisle 10 next to the Tuna
And then it happens! Crash, (I wasn’t looking, I wanted to see if Sorry Charley was really next to Gefilte) right into the luxury cart, parked in my space,
I was ready to give my mean, meaningless I’m sorry I’ve become the one person I feared as a child The grumpy old man.
I look up and my breathing stop, she captured me with her lovely face
I was sent reeling to a distant romantic time & place, centuries ago
Did she drift slightly towards me? Or was it just my imagination,
Did our eyes hold each other in an embrace? Or was it just my imagination
Did she see the poet in my heart?, Or was it just my imagination
Was there anything at all?, Or is it my imagination.
Either way my heart is closed and youthful energy gone,
I gave a soft I’m sorry lowered my eyes and walked away,
Scowled a couple of brats, get out of the way,
**** cart shifts to the left,
I had to look back, I caught a glimpse,
of a single teardrop running down her cheek,
or was it just my Imagination

I've just risen from my coffin,
Do you come here often?
can I buy you a drink?
Where you from?
Fort Lee,
Yes I know the Place,
Where Christy met his fate,
Why did he make us wait?
Oh ! it was all, just a big mistake,
Now do you want that drink?
What that's you say?
You don't date Vampires or poets,
no rhyme or reason,
You don't want anyone ******* your blood,
and then crying about it,
I see, I get your point.
You are ****
your look is catchy,
Thanks for the chat,
the dawn is breaking soon,
I've grown lonesome,
and tiresome
This immortality,
has too much remorse.

Sliver raindrops fall,
expressing feeling of lost,
Our lips, hesitate,
drifting apart, our last kiss,
Where will you go?
My ghost will wonder beside you,
Tender touch, gentle caresses,
carried away in the mist,
Freeze this moment, stay a little longer,
whispers the wind
The soft breeze brushes her cheek;
the moonlight shines your dancing eyes,
I’ll see no more,
The majestic tree cries after the distance,
Looking at you,
I’m jealous of the rain,
I can’t hold you anymore,
Walking away,
I realize love doesn’t end.

Far and Wide.
Near and Close, they travel,
Distance merges with time,
Day collides with Night,
the Sun kissed the Moon, and the Stars cried,
Heaven is not a blur, but a twinkle and a promise,
A promise concreted within the soul of a man and a woman,
Earth's dawn fills a void with footprints and the heartbeat of Don & Lillian.

Run from me, I will hurt you
I hurt so many in the past.
It's me who wants to love and be loved,
I won’t allow it.
I is a serial killer of love, seduces his prey with promises, desire & longing
It’s me I tortures, breaks my heart, over and over again
It’s hard for me to breath, I becomes compassionate and soothes me with tears, sorrow and promises “it’ll be different next time”, but it happens over and over again, I is love, pain & hate
I keeps me prisoner, I is jealous of my deep buried passion waiting for release
Where did I come from? He’s a demon who nestled in my soul centuries ago.
Release Me

I’ve waited too long for the promise,
For those moments, I’m tired
There’s no game to play, this sadness I carry,
I can no longer take,
Please forgive me, your eyes kept me here,
Longer than I thought, I have no other place to go
City of Angels to find my peace,
She hides behind a veil,
Of pink serene, and harmonious intake,
Welcome into her heart,
I grieve for those left behind,
Life carries on,
City of Angels to find my peace,

First came the screams, then the ******
Out of the warm dark into the cold light,
Engulfed by arms, soft as a dove, yet as strong as any diamond
Held to a heart beating my rhythm, touched by breath giving me life
A unexpected first when I opened my eyes,
Beauty beyond anything I would ever see,
A adoring face whose tears washed away my cry,
Sleep comes with unknown truths,
Except the truth of love and security from my gentle giant
First and always my love.

At last, Freedom from Yes, held Captive,
By my own lips and Breath,
Stretch and yawn, No comes along,
With a new dawn,
And I’m gone,
To reach Far and wide, the person inside,
Collapse behind the weight,
No easy take, I’m ready for my cake
To share with you, I never new
Hello Stranger, step aside
I’m Alive,

Shades of you danced in the night,
The dawn waits for your ghost to go,
I can't see you in the light,
Why did you go? I don't know?
I have it all.
Smoke billows in a crowded sky,
The sun hides and won't shine,
Why? I don't know?
I have it all.
Fresh paint for a tired landscape,
The bridge won't open its gate
Why? I don't know?
I have it all.
I drive for miles with no headlights,
No destinations in sight,
Upon a cold asphalt
Why? I don't know?
I could of had it all.
