My Poetry

Outside the world.

2010-08-27T09:07:00.000-07:00

Here I sit pontificating,
About things emasculating,
I don't care for identity,
Nor do I care how you see me,
I live my life in solitude,
Venturing out when it is due,
I examine the world from afar,
And yet see into souls and their scars,
I imagine about the people,
Putting myself in their shoes,
Though my intent may be feeble,
I feel I'm getting to the truth.

Go Long Into the Night

2010-08-26T18:40:00.000-07:00

Go long into the night, and dance, for the dance is where we lose ourselves. We free our minds and let our bodies take over. Our souls commune with the music and the air is filled with mutual spirit. Our hearts beat with the drums and our bodies fluid move with the woodwinds as strings rhythmically disrupt it. As the fires burn on the pyres as well as in our hearts and the passions erupt as we stare into anothers gaze. Potential lovers unite as the beat continues. The moon overhead illuminates the night sky as we, man and woman retire to the beds, to continue this dance, rythym, the beat now miles away but playing full in our minds as we dance laying on the bed, interwined pulsating, wild. Our lips pressing together we're sharing each breath. Your hips are grinding, as I am thrusting in this dance we that we are dancing. Romantic passion welling up like pure magnificent ecstasy, the drums beating faster and faster, our emotions on the brink of the lovers precipice about to explode... and all at once the drum beat stops, we cry out, and squeeze eachother tightly, as the dance is over. Our eyes meet and we stare at eachother amazed at what transpired, amazed at ourselves. Sweating and breathing deeply we slip away into the night naked in the moonlight towards the spring to clean our bare bodies, but in the back of our minds the drum continues beating and our souls are forever one to continue dancing. As we wash ourselves we look into eachothers eyes under the moonlight and embrace in a sweet kiss, but this time we do a slow dance, in the spring, and we take our time, and we go long into the night, and dance...

Remember, Remember (A Guy Fawkes Poem revision)

2010-08-25T23:33:00.000-07:00

Remember, remember, When comes November
To vote out the Republican lot ;
I see no reason why their lies and scheming,
Should ever be forgot.

The GOP 'Twas their intent,
To sow dissention and cause lament.
They hide behind Rush Limbaugh,
Of whom their teabaggers admire.
They'll accept any ignorant member,
Because intelligence is not required.

Holla boys, Holla boys, let the beer bottles clink!
Holla boys, Holla boys, after we win we'll drink!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

We vote to beat the GOP,
To spread the truth and expose them.
Let us rise up and bring them down,
And cast our ballots to deny them.
Burn their lies and hypocrisy,
Stand bright like Lady Liberty.
Expose them and their engorged heads,
Soon we'll say: the GOP is dead.

You make me feel better.

2010-08-16T20:13:00.000-07:00

I'm sittin' out on the back porch drinkin' a beer,
Wonderin' why you ain't here,
Where could you be?
Why don't you go on get in that truck of yours,
Head on over to my back porch,
And sit with me?

Baby, I want you tonight,
I'll love you til forever,
And the rest of my life,
You make me feel better.

It's gettin' late almost half past 10,
Now your here and I don't care where you've been,
Just glad you're around.
I'm starin' into your beautiful eyes,
I think I'll take you out tonight,
Out on the town.

Baby, I want you tonight,
I'll love you til forever,
And the rest of my life,
You make me feel better.

Mini roadtrip time(inspired by a friends status)

2010-08-13T13:30:00.001-07:00

Mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen, mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen, mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen, gonna go the place that we love to be, gonna sit by the beach and swim in the sea after she takes a little trip with me, cause it's mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen, mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen, We love groove to our musics melody, we know all the words to what were listening, And when we ride were always singing. Cause it's mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen. Mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen, mini roadtrip time with my queen queen queen, and here we go now, yes we're leaving...

This world

2010-07-24T20:20:00.000-07:00

If I could show you this world in my head, you would find it amazing, amazing, Yeah, and if I could show you this world I've created, You would find it amazing, so amazing It's unreal how big it is, and how I only care that your in it, but if I could show you anything, it's this.

I'm standing here on top of the mountainside with you by my side, and I'm looking out onto the plains below, watching as the green fields grow before my eyes, but I'm focusing on something else, it's your hand intertwined with mine, and I'm feeling fine yeah. I get lost in here, as I drift away, when I come back your not here and I'm not feeling okay.

I just want you back, noone else knows that. Who you are, is a mystery to everybody, I like to keep it that way, I want you to myself, I say. So don't force me to tell, I'll never let anyone break this spell I'm under.

Rambling

2010-07-19T18:38:00.001-07:00

The eloquent sunshine paints the sky and me orange, I am no longer gray, but me again. I find that my friends closest to my heart are powerful in my eyes. And I love them with all my heart, just like a beautiful sunset which I appreciate more than many can fathom. My capacity for love is great and my threshold for it's torment greater, but still I abide, and live on passing on the love. I amaze some and aggravate others, but still I am, and so are you. What in life is worth it if not Love. I ramble on lest I know not what I'm trying to say as I too in life ramble on as I know not where I'm going nor where I will end up. But I'm glad our paths crossed because like the sunsets you make me happy.

ambiguous poetry

2010-07-16T22:02:00.000-07:00

Lyrically indecisive, rhythmically desperate,
Forgone insured pantomimic laboring,
Derisive autonomic defense mechanics,
Exhausted sleeping mass of life,
I am the Walrus, and the Dude abides.

Unbroken.

2010-07-16T21:56:00.000-07:00

I felt a feeling of nirvana.
Momentary in my memory.
Though it lasted a few hours.
It was beautiful and calming.
I wrote a wisdom during it.
Or was it the wisdom that caused it?
The release of past pressures.
They faded from my mind.
And during that time, I was whole.
I was one, unbroken.

Poetic Dissonance

2010-07-16T21:53:00.000-07:00

Genius is born not from eloquence and sanctuary, but from necessity and despair. For our sorrows drive us to eliminate pains brought on by inconvenience and inhibition. Indeed it is the impoverished denizens who are most like to satisfy our country's proverbial void and provide the answer required; that we may improve the living conditions for all instead of a select, engorged, few.

P.S. The Dude Abides.

I think about you.

2010-06-28T19:02:00.000-07:00

I think about you every day you're always in my head,
And I think about you every night before I go to bed,
I gave you my jacket for a reason I planned it all the way,
So you'd feel me holding you each night as you drift away,
I enjoyed our nights together, you were always really sweet,
And I felt your heart beat slow as you started to fall asleep,
I was too scared to move you, you looked so beautiful there,
So I'd just sit in silence, relaxed, caressing your soft hair,
With every laugh and smile, and with you singing your songs,
You gave me back a zest for life, I thought was all but gone.
So now I'm telling you how I feel these word are true,
And I believe that baby, I'm in love with you.

Two birds of a feather.

2010-06-27T21:27:00.000-07:00

When will there be another place, when will there be another time, for me tell you straight to your face, I love you and that's no lie.

I love you so much I want you here, it's all just a hazey mess, until I see you the world ain't clear, that I must confess.

I hope you're feeling better than before, and that you can blissfully fall asleep,
Because my heavy eye's are closing more, so come join me in my dreams.

It doesn't matter where we end up, as long as were together, just like the sweet doves, we're two birds of a feather.

Please let's go

2010-06-22T07:34:00.000-07:00

I'm outside in the parking lot,
waiting for you to get off work and it's really hot,
You look so sweet in there,
Taking the orders and fixing your hair,
I'm smilin' in the truck out here,
Listening to the radio,
Well come on baby please let's go,
Down to the old quarry it's saturday night,
There's a party gonna get done right,
Our friends all gonna be there,
We bring the music they bring the beer,
And it's gonna get done right,
We'll be dancin' before you know,
So come on baby please let's go.

Good Night Dear World

2010-06-21T21:34:00.001-07:00

Good night, dear world, may the storm thunders rumble softly,
And may the breeze caress you until you slumber gently.
May you dream dreams of far away exotic places,
Where you find yourself among kind and friendly faces.
In the morning may you rise rested and no longer weary,
To sunny skies and butterflies that leave you ever cheery.
May your afternoons be peaceful and relaxing under gold setting sun,
Until the stars come out and whisper softly once day is done.
May you yourself be fun, loving and full of laughter,
Until once again father time comes calling you after.

I don't know why.

2010-06-21T17:02:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I do the things that I do,
But I know when I try, things turn out alright,
Maybe one of these days I'll learn to fly,
But in the mean time,
Let's go down by the beach,
Set and watch the sunset creep,
Away behind the world, and then
Watch the stars as they go floating by,
In the beautiful dark night's sky,
And maybe if were lucky enough,
We will see fireflies doin' firefly stuff,
hey hey hey, I make you laugh, don't I,
I make you laugh so hard you cry,
Then afterwords, we'll lay down on the soft sand,
And stare into eachothers eyes, you know what I like to see,
Yeah, you lookin' back at me,
I just want to be by your side, I just want to be more,
I just want to be by your side, you are my life, and I am forever yours.

just a song

2010-06-21T14:35:00.000-07:00

You're my lovely cakes,
You're my sweet thang,
I'll do what it takes,
To make you my baby.

Now you're in my head,
I'm missin' you,
an all the fun things,
that we do.

Goin' for rides,
Down the backroads,
Singin'the songs,
That we know.

I miss your pretty voice,
And you're pretty baby,
Sing to me once more,
My pretty lady.

Sing to me-e,
I want to hear you,
Whisper softly,
Like you always do,

And when it's cold,
Put my arms around you,
And when I'm gone,
Think of me too.

One little night.

2010-06-17T20:35:00.000-07:00

Last night I sat outside by the fire drinkin' beers with my friends,
But when they got drunk I didn't know what was about to begin,
All hell broke loose and they tried to steal my old mans car,
then one of them tried to run but he didn't get very far,

What the hell was I thinkin'
tryin' to have some fun,
Little cozy fire going,
After the day is done.

He fell to the ground laughing in the grass,
Tried to stand up again but fell right back on his ass,
The two girls just laughed at him, but one was just as worse,
I had to pick them up and in the morning I felt the hurt.

What the hell was I thinkin'
but we sure did do alot,
by the little tiny embers,
I had me a lot of fun.

Katie Lynn Majka,
Nine Twenty Seven P.M.
Ha ha ha, touche.

We got a few things in common.

2010-05-14T08:13:00.000-07:00

We got a few things in common Oh don't you know, we like sunshine and country drivin' and when it snows, we got a few things in common oh don't you know, we like watching the sun set, and bumming at home.
We got a few things in common, oh yeah a few things, we walk the forest trails not looking for anything, we like to listen to the same music, watch tv, and laugh at funny things. Yeah we got a few things in common oh don't you know, we got a few things common.

God Complex

2010-05-13T13:14:00.000-07:00

An old poem from a dark time in my life at age 15 don't take it literally.

Your sins are payable on death,
I feel it coming, Judgement Day.
It crawls here on four legs now picking up speed,
It has jumped into a headlong rush now our, time is short.
Our flesh burned away our naked souls revealed,
To the test of time we gave up.
God is now a symbol not a being,
Religions these days are like cars,
If you don't like it trade it in for a new one.
Bullshit, everything is bullshit, we love our bullshit,
It all depends on what bullshit it is, well I want the regular shit.
One word a voice, a voice unheard,
Stands between our life and our bullshit.
Its time to light the funeral pyre,
and put to rest our bullshit with fire.
Our sins to ashes, to blood, to dust.
All is gone along with our wild lust.
So much to say goodbye to, its ok you dont have a choice.
But you can help others along with just your voice.
Burn the bibles too, they mean nothing they are mans words,
As long as you are heard.
Its not the words that mean everything not the paper,
Soon, your earthly life will not matter, that time is later.
Drop these dead husks and walk around in the glow of the ONE.
Take my harsh words to heart, for now with you I am done.
It is time for the rain of Judgement upon the land.
The Devil's armor painted crimson with the blood of man.

Back Porch Cinema (Let it be...)

2010-05-12T19:29:00.000-07:00

Let it be---, let it be---, we got a lot of people takin' our time now. Let it be---, let it be be be now, we don't stop to watch the wind flow through the trees anymore, were too busy to enjoy the sun setting down. All I really want to do in this world is listen to the music while watchin' the fireflies fly around. Let it be---, oh please lord let it be---, that this time of business is coming to a close, and let it be---, let it be be be, that I can take the time to sit and enjoy the life I know.

But how can we change when we refuse to move, were set in stone, it rains on our heads, the sun bakes us to death. Why can't we just learn to crawl, or walk or something else, we can't keep standing here underneath the elements. Holding on to our old sentiments. Resisting change like the stone, which still breaks down and slowly erodes.

Somehow I know life is gonna change, and when it does we need to be ready to break the cage, and sow the seeds and reap the land, and give eachother a helping hand. When the time comes we'll leave behind our greed and focus on the garden's green. Enjoying the time spent playing with friends, and sitting around the dinner table at the day's end.

A change in our circumstances is coming, the world of money is looking bleak, well I don't want that world anymore I just want a back porch cinema and a warm place to sleep, when the sun goes to bed, the fireflies take over, the moon reflects its name and it shows us were getting older. And if you look real close you can see the show, underneath the twilights glow. So when the time comes what happens we shall see, but hopefully when our new day dawns we can let it be...

Intensely Your's

2010-05-06T09:25:00.000-07:00

I want you,
I want to caress you,
I want to make love to you,
But not just some one time kind of love,
I want to love you so intensely that it feels like our souls are intertwining,
So that I feel you and you feel me and time drifts away,
And even when we're apart I can feel you with me,
I am intensely your's, forever and always.

Another time.

2010-05-03T19:12:00.001-07:00

Waking up for what seems but another dream
I was whispering, whispering in my sleep
How I feel about you, that I want you to stay,
Don't go away, stay with me today.

And when I go to bed, when I go to bed at night,
I lay there and think, and think of all the time,
When we went for walks, and held hands all the while,
The fireflies danced, and all you could do was smile.

So are you.

2010-05-02T20:27:00.000-07:00

I saw the sky,
And the Road,
And the Fields,
and I kept watching them,
And they kept passing by,
But one thing was special,
And that one thing caught my eye,
Or else I would have never seen it,
And that one thing was your eyes,
And they were magnificent and bright,
And remarkable,
And a brown amber hue,
And they are so beautiful,
And so are you.

Can you feel...

2010-05-02T19:58:00.000-07:00

Can you feel your heart inside,
Put your hand to your chest,
Pulsing, feel it with closed eyes,
Thumping away times stress,
Bringing awareness to the temporary,
The beat changes per the action,
Myriad of feelings that always vary,
Driving your thoughts and reactions,
Well can you feel the heart inside,
The flame burning, raging strong,
It's about time for you to realize,
You've been feeling life all along.

Dear Inebriation

2010-04-20T01:48:00.000-07:00

Dear Inebriation,
Once again we play this silly little game,
I go to bed thinking it was but a dream, yet it was all for shame.
The next morning you've left me here alone to to survive,
When I hear about and read the things I've said or done, I could just die.
But don't you worry I'm a joker at heart and I'll laugh it off,
Until the next time you turn me into a big huge jag off...

Best Friend

2010-04-15T08:54:00.001-07:00

I've felt your pain, and watched you cry,
And I've sat beside you and made you smile,
I've heard your worst, and seen your best,
And I've taken over when you needed a rest,
I've answered your questions, though sometimes wrong,
And I've made you mad at times, though not long,
We've laughed together and stayed up late,
And all our time together I would not trade.
Who am I, that I know you, then?
I am nothing less than your best friend.

The Question

2010-04-15T08:51:00.000-07:00

See the light for what is,
Breathe the air for what it is,
Feel the world for what it is,
Smell the earth for what it is.
But what is it all?

Through the veil...

2010-04-10T10:03:00.000-07:00

Through the veil of nightshade we went off to battle far away,
And there we fought hard and long and there we did stay,
As we lay under the intimate night sky speckled with antimony dust,
We we're carried away from bloody basin, our swords left to rust.

Now let all masquerades fall away, and dirt relinquish it's hold,
That we may walk the sands of death, and walk feeling bold,
Let all the oceans of life open up and wash us ever clean,
Blood, and spit, and sweat, and tears, nothing but a dream.

May now we feel the calming bosom of the heavens warm embrace,
And lay our fears and cares to rest with clear mind and face,
Let Fate and Destiny rest their heads and sleep forevermore,
Our journey long and arduous, done, we journey nevermore.

Some new Haiku

2010-04-06T14:34:00.000-07:00

As clouds gently weep,
Heavy hearts lift their heads high,
Pain washing away.

The trees bud new life,
Cold melts away in the sun,
Birds chirp melodies.

Spring whispers softly,
Soft winds caress our souls,
Green fields lift our hearts.

Have you smelled the air today?

2010-03-08T12:04:00.001-08:00

Have you smelled the air today,
Windows open, sun shining, it feels like spring,
The fresh breeze blowing through the doorway,
I'm enjoying this new feeling.
The sun is shining longer all the time,
Each day lasting longer and longer still,
Until it's time again for the days to unwind,
And once again for us to feel winters chill.
But have you taken a deep breath today?
I can smell the wet dirt in the air,
And the scent of impending rain stays,
Lingering on the nose, not much can compare.

Why hello, Monday, I hate you.

2010-03-01T08:28:00.000-08:00

Why hello, Monday, I hate you,
Tuesday, your not much better.
Wednesday, your middleway through,
Just coming up shy, Thursday,
Friday I thank God for you.
But Saturday and Sunday,
I wish you could always stay.

Just another poem inspired randomly by a friends facebook status.

Is there?

2010-02-19T21:30:00.000-08:00

I stand, watching the world, feeling cold, all the time,
Enjoying the feeling, I abhor excess heat,
I look down on much of your lives,
From the bottom of the social ladder, funny...
I feel powerful and destined for heroic purpose,
But I'm weak and don't seem to be going anywhere,
I feel good, though, happy, but out of service,
I'm a dreamer and a poet, not much else is there?

Three Dreams, the minds true poetry.

2010-02-18T06:24:00.000-08:00

Just had a dream about thermonuclear war, in a country I've never been in, in a place I've never seen, with people I've never met before. I had been flying a plane, piloting it myself, towards shore when the nukes started dropping, I had to fly towards a mountain and large hill and cling to the deck, I eventually bailed out in a town. In this town was unrest and rioting. I found a family holed up in their home, scared, and asked them what was going on. They told me (can't remember what country) was dropping bombs and that they we're too scared to try and make it to the lifeboats. They explained that the nukes didn't hit the coast line as much and that the government planned for survivors to reach lifeboats and be taken out to sea while the unknown country laid siege. The man had a shotgun and I had my service pistol, so we both walked his family out of hell. There was him, his wife, and three children. We went outside through the back into the alleyways. Dispatched a few sociopaths and then made it into the treeline. My mind flashforwarded to the beach where people were climbing onto these simple lifeboats, they covered the coast. Overhead missiles were flying. Eventually we moved out to sea as the sun was setting. The life boats came close together and dropped these basket flares which were just little fires in the water. Many complained, but the bombing had stopped, all we needed to know now was where it was safe to land. Then I woke up.

I had a dream about a flood before that, where I was in this skyscraper filled with random apartments and office rooms and most on the outside of the building, the outside walls were all glass. I woke up to water filling the bottom room, I didn't move until half the room was filled, I climbed to the top floor rather than wait about floor by floor. People were there, people I knew and worked with, but had never met or known before. Outside it was equally sunny and filled with dark clouds. There was water everywhere below and all you could really see were trees and buildings sticking out of the water.

Each of these dreams were not nightmares really, they were weird to say the least.

The night before I had a dream about Hanover, only not the Hanover anyone knows completely. My mind added large sections to it, and changed things around in some different ways. The Home Economics classroom became the music room, their was a weird but cool plant with glowing red flowerbuds growing in the old commons where the vending machines used to be, the ceiling their was tall. Lechien was standing outside of his room. Outside in the middle court area there was bright beaming sunshine, and down the hall the same sunshine was beaming through the front windows by the office. I remember there was a game, I think this part of the dream was really my mind playing an old memory. It was in the old gym, the one we all did P.E. in. I don't remember much of the game it went by fast, leaving though I remember talking to Vince, Matt, then Brenda and Bethany. After that I met Abby in the new large Library addition that was built on the front parking lot. My mind's eye looked at it from above at an angle of about 60 degrees, it was cloudy and dark outside when I did though. When it came to seeing Vince, Matt, Brenda and Bethany, my brain was just replaying old memories, but the library was new, I felt my old feelings for Abby, my brain it seems likes to play tricks on me. In the library we had a conversation, I can't remember what it was it about, it's been too long since I had the dream.

One day yes, but I usually don't remember anything from them at all.

The Flag of White

2010-02-14T21:20:00.000-08:00

Doth thou surrender to your fate?
Or must your will, I doth break?
Shall thy show thineself to the light?
Or under nightshade will thou hide?
Thou wrestles with thine mind I know,
For the die be cast, your heart shows.
Steel yourself dear old friend,
Enemies we're not, nor have ever been.
Must we, must we, then still fight?
Or will ye yield, the flag of white?

Life, but differently.

2010-02-14T20:11:00.000-08:00

Is it wrong to want the world to descend into chaos,
So that everyone would feel the same?
Everyone living on the same social level,
Only a select few rising on to fame.
Not necessarily feeling the same that I do,
It would probably be better than what I've felt.
Though it too would have it's moments of joy,
So what would world would you choose, I pray, tell?
Such moments of longing for the lost souls today,
What purpose would they now have if this came to pass.
Currently they do nothing, locked away in their homes,
Keeping alive on a bare glimmer of hope from the past.
Diagnosed with depression, a pill for the pain,
Little rays of sunshine, each for a price, a toll.
The toll, you ask, is taken from them by the Lotophagi,
Until, at long last, their is nothing left of their soul.
The puppetmasters rule the world now, with clever cunning,
Manipulating our heartstrings with adept skill.
They show us our minds desires to rope us in,
In truth we have only the illusion of free will.
I guess I don't want chaos, only the world to change,
So that we are not stuck feeling the pain of greed.
Where money is everything, no matter what they say,
And in order to continue living you must surely bleed.
I experienced true happiness as an ignorant child,
Should I not wish to live in the past, do you not agree?
That is what I want, though, because that's when I felt alive,
A time of blue skies and sunshine, where I lived life, but differently.

...But A Dream

2010-02-11T09:21:00.000-08:00

What if you woke up tomorrow
And discovered life was but a dream?
That years of what we thought was living,
We were really just fast asleep.
Do you wonder what it would be like,
What a world would we wake up too?
Would we still have our friends and family,
And what would it mean if this were true.
Would it be what we call heaven,
Could there also be a hell?
After living our lives asleep for so long,
Would we know if it was real, could we tell?
Maybe, though, we would live our lives full,
And love one another, forgetting all our greed,
If we all woke up tomorrow,
And discovered life was but a dream.

The Journey Chp. 1

2010-02-08T22:36:00.000-08:00

If you wanted to read the story, I moved it to my short story blog. So far all of the work on there is unfinished and in rough draft form. I've posted a link to 'The Journey'

Your Friend the Wind

2010-02-06T14:56:00.000-08:00

"You know me, you know. We were great friends. I caressed you when you were young, and messed up your hair as a child. We used to have fun messing up the piles of leaves that your sisters would rake up in the fall. In the winter I made beautiful displays with the snowflakes, and built hills of snow for you to jump in. In Summer you would climb the trees and I would rock them back and forth, and cool you down. But now you are older and have forgotten me and retreated inside. And I have been sad, howling at night. Come back to be me and we will enjoy ourselves again, Me and you, your friend... the wind..."

Escape

2010-02-05T22:24:00.000-08:00

Television shows, movies, for watching,
Daydreaming, and music for listening,
All are in common with something-Me,
A simple getaway from the day to day misery,
When you carry the world's heavy weight,
Even a short respite can be a great escape.

My feelings about my poetry.

2010-02-05T22:14:00.000-08:00

My mind works in a mysterious manner, and my poetry
In a sense is the mystery escaping. I enjoy the clever
juxtapositions I can come up with. Freeverse and odd rhyming schemes
intrigue me, and my feelings watermark my poetry.
Rarely do I care what people think of me, but I enjoy hearing
a person's thoughts about what the poem invokes in them.
Some are weird, some are happy, others sad and dark, but all of them
come from a part of me. I do hope in the future more and more people will read them.

Perception

2010-02-05T22:02:00.000-08:00

One man see's the world for what it was,
Another see's the world for what it is,
Another see's what it will become.
One is happy, one is sad, the other experiences both extremes.
As all will see a sunny day,
Past hides himself from it,
Present is ignorant and sees the day as a day,
And future is ecstatic.
Because perception rules the world.
And once you've seen it, all will change.

[Not sure which one I like better]

One man see's the world for what it is,
Another see's the world for what he wants it to be,
And neither see's what it will become,
A dystopian utopia.
Black and white to gray.
Good and Evil, the man made concept, gone.
Peace and tranquility a natural side effect.
Feel free to fly away, anytime, if you can see it possible.
Because perception rules the world.
And once you've seen it, all will change.

The last drive.

2010-02-05T21:37:00.000-08:00

He got in the car, ready to go, turn the key, boom.
The engine starts, growling like an angry lion.
He shifts it into gear, and the tires burn,
Like a lightning bolt he tears down the road,
Here comes those Red and Blues,
He laughs and smashes the pedal,
"Stopping is for people with something to lose,"
The engine bellows and the Red and Blues slip away,
Mailboxes, telephone poles, fields, all fly by.
He slows to make a turn, and rips across the freeway,
Down the rural street he speeds away, and here comes the tracks.
He punches it and jumps the tracks, his car flipping front over backwards,
The roof collapses, and it seems he's stuck,
He reaches for his pack of cigarettes, and then unbuckles himself.
He kicks the door as hard as he can, it slides open but just barely.
He kicks it again, and again, until finally he can slide out.
When he stands up he feels something wet trickling down his left side.
A big shard of glass sticks out of him.
The pain shoots through him as he comes to a realization.
The man crawls closer to the car and leans his back against it.
He lights a cigarette and sits there smoking.
Finally he quickly pulls the shard of glass out and the pain subsides a little.
He faces the sun, barely any clouds in the sky.
He takes another drag of his cigarette, smiles and thinks to himself,
"It's a good day, Joanne... See you soon, babe... Real soon..."
He takes another drag and slips away, still smiling.
Alone on the road a wrecked man and a wrecked car, one to the junkyard, the other to see his beloved...

Siren

2010-02-05T21:17:00.000-08:00

She sings her sweet siren's song,
Drawing us in with her melodious voice,
Not leaving us distraught nor leading us adrift,
But lighting the lighthouse inside our hearts,
Leading us through sadness' fog into love's warm harbor.

I don't want to go home.

2010-02-05T20:21:00.000-08:00

I don't want to go home--, yet,
I just want to stay right here with you---.
I don't want the day to pass, yeah,
I don't want the sun to set, on this day with you--.

No I don't want go home--, yet, I don't want to leave you--, no.
I just wish time would freeze, oh yeah,
I just wish everything, could continue to be---,
Be---, what we have always drea---med, yeah.

I wonder sometimes, yeah, when you look into my eyes,
What are you thinking of, yeah, Are you thinking of me---,
Are you thinking of me, and this beautiful, beautiful scenery, yeah,
And I know we'll stay together---, forever--, for--ever, yeah.

And I don't want to go home, no, no, no--,
I just want you to stay right here with me---,
With you wrapped in my arms, yeah, yeah
Watching the world go by, watching the world go by, watching the world--, yeah,

So I won't go home, No, no, no. No I won't go---
It's me an you, yeah, and that's how it will always be---.
That's how it will be--- forever,yeah, forever--, forever--, forever-----.
Just you and me...

Mellomanesta Dream

2010-02-03T22:03:00.000-08:00

I arrive a little early, were headed out tonight,
For a little picnic on Mellomanesta Hill,
Your getting ready still, music playing in the background,
I walk out back and smell the summer air,
It's so invigorating, your husky Shelly comes to greet me.
Good little girl, I pet her head. I turn around and walk back inside. Your down the hall in your room, I yell in a sarcastic tone, hey we're gonna be late for our own funerals at this pace. Shutup you, I'll be ready soon enough. You smile and glare. I chuckle. I walk back outside and get in the car. You come out a few minutes later. Melissa by the Allman brothers is playing on the radio. It's our tune. I put the top down and we leave. We take the road around the quarry, it glows pink and orange as the sun gets closer and closer to setting. Your hair is whipping in the wind. I take a turn towards Mellomanesta, the sun shines in your face, you wrinkle your nose. You look cute when you do that, I can't help but turn and smile, you see me and smile too. We wind our way up to the top of the hill.
The sun is about a half an hour away from setting when we reach the top. I go to the back of the car, and grab the blankets and the basket. You take the blankets from me and spread them out on the side of the hill facing the sunset. I turn the accessory key on the car and let the radio play. We sit and open up the basket, I take out the food, and the bottle of wine and and glasses. Neil Young's Heart of Gold starts playing on the radio. The gold of the sun is shining on the hill and the tree's silhouette the horizon. We eat our little sandwiches and drink our wine. All the while I tell you jokes and make you laugh. We talk about our childhoods and laugh at our embarrassing moments. We lay back against the hill and I wrap my arm around you and we watch as the day settles into night, the moon shines bright. The fireflies dance all around us. I lean over and kiss you on the cheek and then the neck and finally your lips. You lean into me and we kiss deeply, passionately. I unbutton your top one button at a time. Kissing...you... every... step... of... the... way... Slowly kissing you, I unlace your skirt and slip it off. I move down even slower kissing longer as I feel you getting warmer, breathing deeper. You intertwine your fingers with mine as I kiss you and feel you blush. I lean over you and kiss you again. The heat of desire burning, our passion bringing us closer and closer together, until finally, for a small while, we are as close to each other as two people could ever be.

Do you know what it's like?

2010-02-03T21:47:00.000-08:00

Do you know what it's like to feel alone,
To see world from the outside looking in,
To be surrounded by only ghosts,
The memories of your only friends.
Do you know what it's like to trust your soul divine,
To those who your not sure you can trust in the end,
To hope they are sincere and put yourself on the line,
And after being wronged learn to trust them again.
Do you know what it's like to fall in love,
And know it will never be reciprocated,
Because your only acceptable as a friend,
Nothing more, and have it constantly stated.
To finally break and give up at last,
Not a single care or worry evermore,
Your spirit gone, just an empty glass,
Just simply asking, "What is it all for?"

WRF4

2010-02-02T11:17:00.001-08:00

What are friends for?
But to help you through the rough times,
to stand by you when your wrong,
to help you up when you've fallen,
and to love you all along.

Food for thought.

2010-01-30T09:07:00.001-08:00

Red and Black Rasberry with brandy reduction sauce,
Poured over a spinach salad with almonds and seared tuna,
Garlic butter infused deep fried turkey fillet with crispy skin,
Lemon spritzed, with a Merlot and Honey Mustard drizzle,
Fresh baked bread roll topped with super sharp cheddar,
A Glass of Merlot or Pink Champagne to contrast the flavors,
And for Dessert a Brandy Caramel drizzled Chocolate Lava Cake,
Or a slice of Lemon Cream pie topped with Cinnamon Dulce cool whip,
at a table for two, out in the quiet afternoon sun on a terrace.

My 50's-esque song attempt.

2010-01-17T08:53:00.000-08:00

This all really just came to me as I was driving just singing, and when I sing or rhyme my mind will attempt to fill in the blanks if I'm making it up. It all just started with "How lucky are we," and my inner muse filled in the rest. Enjoy!

How lucky are we, to be eating for three,
With a little baby on the way, celebrating life's symphony,
How lucky am I to have you by my side
All I know is that I love you, and I never want to say Goodbye,
So come and dance with me, eh baby who are we,
To be so care free, enjoying all of life's simplicity.
Well I can't say I mind, so when we fall asleep tonight,
I'll be glad your by my side, and I will love you for the rest of time.

...

2010-01-08T19:42:00.000-08:00

Where did you go, all those years ago,
When I needed you, you were nowhere to be found,
And now, you've come back expecting everything to be okay.
But it's not, it will never be the same.
Tell me where'd you go, all those years ago,
Tell me why you left, when I was hurt and felt alone,
Why couldn't you at least pick up the phone,
Tell me where have you been, IS it really so hard, I just want to know.
I changed my whole world, I'm not the same person that you knew,
And it's all...Because of you.

Just a daydream.

2010-01-02T06:34:00.000-08:00

I ride along in my car, with you, driving fast,
You're sitting next to me, windows down, wind blowing past.
I can't stop looking over at you, as we roll through the countryside,
You notice me looking and smile, I laugh happily and pull you to my side.
I turn down the next road that we come to, headed for my place,
The sun is setting and we're almost there, it is getting late.
You lay your head in my lap and look like you've fell asleep,
I slow down a bit and kiss your head, you look so sweet.
The radio is playin a slow country tune, saying loving you is nothing new,
Its setting up the perfect mood, and it's just how I feel about you.
We pull into the driveway, and drive around to the back yard,
I slide out real gently and carefully pull you into my arms.
You look up right back me as I look down at you and spin around,
You slide down and we keep going dancing on the ground.
I look deeper into your eyes as you look deeper into mine,
We stop dancing and lean into eachother and I kiss you one more time.

Do you remember?

2009-12-30T08:36:00.000-08:00

Do you remember the time we met? You were wearin' glasses then.
Now you have contacts, and I'm glad we're still friends,
Do you remember the time that we spent? We would make each other laugh in class.
Silly jokes, and funny faces, that time flew by too fast.
And do you remember, all those things that we said,
All that time I wondered, what was going on inside your head,
I used to poke fun at all the teachers, and make you feel at ease,
I was happy when I was with you and you were always smiling.
I wonder if you remember that day, when I took a chance, and you turned me away,
You didn't have much to say, but I was used to being turned down anyway.
Well I miss you, just a little bit today, but what I really miss the most,
Was how we felt back in those days, not caring, just laughing, feeling close,
I swear I saw it coming, when you sat next to me that day, with that look in your eyes.
And maybe somewhere in the future, I'll find that happiness one more time.

A Winter's Love.

2009-12-28T20:57:00.001-08:00

I feel the winter wind flowing fast, nipping at my skin brushing past,
The snow falling all around, collecting on the trees, on the ground.
Icicles hang from rooftops twinkling, I stare at them thinking,
How beautiful winter is at night, when the stars are out shining bright.
The color of fresh snow is pure, unblemished, absolute, I'm sure.
But none of it compares to your rosy red cheeks, or your shivering smile,
And I know we have been out for what seems like a while.
I laugh a little bit at your willingness to freeze, and stay by my side.
So let's go and enjoy the winter from inside.
And enjoy you my bold desire and your beautiful body by the fire.

Love Is Easy

2009-12-02T21:03:00.000-08:00

Love is easy, Life is what gets in the way,
Time and Money, Time is money, Time is frayed.
We look into eachother's eyes, seeing what can't be said,
The feelings we have that we for so long kept in our head.
We kept it all locked away, because life told us a lie,
Now after so long, truth comes in the blink of an eye.
True love needs no stepping stone, only a level playing field,
And I would level this entire world, if only for life to yield.
Yield us the life we've been wanting for so long,
Together forever dancing our dance, singing our songs.
Because for us love is easy, life is what gets in the way,
However it is time we make it a brand new day.

The Dark Savior

2009-11-26T14:58:00.000-08:00

I can save you, I will save you, I will save you all.
I can make them pay, they will pay, they will all pay.
Why do I fight the life that is here right before my eyes.
Flying solo, disconnect, away from you away from the rest.
Alone and miserable, with the weight of the world on my shoulders.
A statue of strength and courage to sum, fear and hatred to others, difference done.
Duality unrelenting, dividing the two. I am the destroyer of worlds, your devil, your AntiChrist, and Baal. Multiplying your fears, but in the end I will save you all, in the end they will pay, I will make them all. As it is said by the prophets I do see, and I do intend to set you free. Hold your heads high for soon he comes to take you away, away from the world and those that are left to be, will be mine for inflicting misery. I said I would save you, and make them pay, I meant it all, I do what I say. For I am the Devil, your AntiChrist, and Baal, the one who makes the earth tremble, the Dark Savior who would see your whole world fall.

Those days.

2009-11-26T09:50:00.000-08:00

If in fact we ever meet again old friend we shall sit by the campfire, and talk of the times that once were and will will never be again. Listening to music play and watching the sun fade. Still talking about those days. Life didn't make sense then, and it doesn't now, not knowing where we were going or where were headed now. It just made sense to sit down, and talk about, those days when we'd wander about through the trees, through the leaves, exploring the world and making our own way. Back when life was a simple thing, we didn't understand a thing, ignorance was bliss back when we were kids.

Destiny

2009-11-19T18:34:00.000-08:00

The cruel beauty of Destiny,
Never knowing if your in control,
As she sweeps you off your feet,
And dances with your soul.

The umbrella poem.

2009-11-06T19:50:00.001-08:00

It's cloudy so,
When the rain falls,
What will keep you dry,
......................If.......................
..................You.................
...............Left................
...................Your...only.............
................Umbrella..............
...................At home?.................

hummed love song.

2009-10-30T18:00:00.000-07:00

(mmmmm = humming)
mmmmm, mhm mhm mmmmm
Let's ride our bikes down the road,
walk through the fields and the meadows,
mmmmm, mhm mhm mmmmm
Singing along to this song mmmmm
Sing along with me, mmmmm, I'll sing along with you, mmmmm
And I will whisper, mmmmm, sweet words of truth, mmmmm
Like you are so pretty, you are so beautiful,
mmmmm, mhm mhm mmmmm

We lay in the grass, we smile at one another,
I kiss you softly, we kiss eachother,
mmmmm, mhm mhm mmmmm

unknowns

2009-10-24T22:20:00.000-07:00

Sometimes life comes fast, other times it comes slow,
Like waves of the sea, ever changing, never the same.
Sometimes it amazes us, scares us, or makes us laugh you never know,
Like the magnificent winter frost on a window pane.

50's Frame of mind.

2009-10-18T19:13:00.000-07:00

I see these old pictures of people,
Ancient polaroids and kodaks,
I see it and I think of a time,
A time in which I've never existed,
Funny how familiar it is though,
To smell something new and unknown,
And be dizzied by a wave of nostalgia,
I see these old videos and I'm reminded,
Reminded of times when I was a child and yet,
Reminded of other times I've never seen,
Maybe I'm an old man inside,
Maybe I'll be a child when I'm old about to die,
Is it my past life, who knows what time,
But I'll enjoy it as long as I see the grass grow.
With a Cherry Coke, and a Marlboro,
I'll live in a 50's frame of mind.

Loves Symphony

2009-10-16T05:30:00.000-07:00

She visited me again last night,
Oh what a great surprise,
We cuddled holding eachother tight,
And I looked into her eyes,
Blue worlds staring back at me,
She is so beautiful,
She kisses electricity,
The feeling unbelievable,
Like lightning through my veins,
And thunder in my heart,
A storming passionate rain,
Of loves symphonies impart.

Walter the duck

2009-10-15T20:24:00.000-07:00

Walter the duck was swimming.
He was swimming in the pond.
He swam in the pond with Wendy the duck.
Walter liked Wendy and Wendy liked walter.
Because they were ducks.
So they did what loving ducks do.
And they f... found themselves a pastor duck.
Who married them and they went home.
And had little Walter and Wendy ducks.
Which they named Winnie, Willy, Wilfred, Wanita and Wdonna Duck.
But all was not well in Duckville,
Ray Gibson heard about ducks a lot,
And he got tired of hearing about ducks,
Duck this, duck that, write a song about ducks, frisbee DUCK!!!
Ray was so annoyed by the ducks that he was filled with murderous intent,
and went and stabbed Vanessa in the face.
RIP Vanessa, because ducks named Walter make Ray Gibson Homicidal.

Where did you go?

2009-10-15T20:19:00.001-07:00

Let me find a new place to go,
instead of down by the road,
sadness and misery falling like rain,
All I see is people in pain,
Moonlight shining through the trees,
Illuminating the dark mystery,
Of who you've become

Why did you have to leave,
why did you go away from me,
Everybody is wondering,
Where did you go---,
where---- did you go...

Why'd you walk away,
Why'd you walk away,

Where---- DID YOU GO-------

Why didn't you face your fears,
I am here----
But now you've gone dead and cold,
You've killed them all,
And sold yourself away---
Away------

Live Today.

2009-10-09T20:54:00.001-07:00

When it's time for you to fall away,
And darkness befalls you,
Just rest dear friend don't you worry about a thing,
Soon you will be awakening,
In a new world, In a new place, where everyone soon will follow,
Because you never know what's around the way,
Live your life today.
There is no guarantee for tomorrow.

The Spirit

2009-10-09T20:44:00.000-07:00

When I was younger I looked at the stars, I looked at the moon,
I dreamed of flying, of changing the world, hoping it would be soon,
There were times when I would go off alone, to my humble solitude,
As a kid I would think about life, and inventing things too.
I was a curious kid, always snooping, watching, tinkering,
And I've had my fair share of dangers, like death was lingering.
Through light sockets, outlets, gasoline, firecrackers and climbing trees,
Many many accidents befell me, but through it all my spirit kept me free.

Dream of Me

2009-10-04T23:00:00.000-07:00

I climb the mountains high, I climb to the sky,
I look for you, nowhere to be seen.
I don't know who you are, or even why,
I look for someone who I don't see.
I see you in my dreams for sure,
I can't remember your face though once I awaken,
I do hope you show me your face and cure,
I, of this sadness by which my happiness was taken.

One Trick Cat

2009-10-04T22:58:00.000-07:00

Expressing the emotion of the world,
In words is an art and a skill,
Many have the ability, but not the talent,
I have the talent, but I am a one trick cat.

Contrast

2009-10-04T22:53:00.001-07:00

Fire burning, essence of loving, find me tonight,
Show me tomorrow, in the day, the moon shines,
Find me now, here I sit, sad and gloating,
Of past conquests, prideful and mourning,
I am he who wishes to be, more than he,
The hero arises, short in courage, big in heart,
Plunging deep darkness, afraid, flying high,
I can take you away, from the melancholy,
But only if you carry me, and show me the way.

Changes...

2009-10-04T21:31:00.000-07:00

It is cool outside, the windows open smells of fall wafting in,
Changes coming as they do every year, changes without and within.
I feel different, I see differently, about the world and life and such.
With the seasons and the weather, who I am changes just as much.

When the world falls...

2009-09-29T07:40:00.000-07:00

When the world falls, I will find you,
I will be there right beside you.
When chaos ensues and you become afraid,
I will protect you and keep you safe.

When your hungry I will feed you,
When your tired I will hold you,
If you cry I will comfort you,
If it's cold I will keep you warm too.

When the world goes dark, and you lose your way,
I will carry you through the darkness until day.
I will be with with you until it ends, if it ends,
And I will be there with you when the day begins.
There by your side through it all,
The day the world falls.

No Title

2009-09-27T19:40:00.000-07:00

There was a time when I was wondering about the future, wondering who I would be,
I would sit in my room, listening to music, watching the sun set through the trees.
I would escape the world and I would imagine one greater, one where I was king,
Knowing all, seeing everyone, in control of everything,
But I grew to resent that fantasy, it was to predictable, no mystery.
I still wonder about the future today, looking to space and thinking of God,
Not your God, my God, I'm possessive, free of religion and hypocritical dogs.
I'm stuck in Limbo all the time, between the state of limbo and the state of me,
Constantly thinking and pondering life, knowing theres more to be seen.
Really there is but haven't yet opened our eyes, I await the day I've opened mine.

Would I

2009-09-26T20:52:00.000-07:00

There was a time that I used to look at, the sky, I watched all those pretty stars, just, floating by, I wondered what was out there was there a god up above, watching me down here, sitting on the porch looking up, Was I meant to do something special, meant to be something more, Would I save someones life, would I change the world, would be like the heroes that came before, would I. WOULD I. What I am I meant to do here, who am I supposed to be, is there a god up there looking down on me, Will I always stay here, or will I save the world, Could you please just help me out here, give me a hint or three, I know I ask alot, I know it's part of the mystery. So I will keep living my life, being the person I want to be, I will try to help the helpless, give what I don't need, use smiles to kill the sadness, and be there when you need me, and BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED ME.

WOULD I, would I, WOULD IIIII. Will I always be ordinary, will I always be me, or will I save a life, will I change the world, will I be like the heroes that came before me.

You are my life.

2009-09-26T20:00:00.000-07:00

And sometimes when were singing, We dance around, dancing around, were feeling happy and your so beautiful, I wish I could stop, this moment, this moment in time, and watch you go round and round, Smiling, all the time, you smile at me, we are free, butterflies and bees, birds in the trees, and you are with me. I don't need, anything, but you, but you are everything to me, we fly in our dreams, we play like kids, and in the noon time, we curl up together, and we watch, we watch the sunsets, and the stars rise, because you are everything, you are my life.

The temporary...

2009-09-17T21:12:00.000-07:00

I am about to go to sleep, about to dream another dream,
As the echos of the days past in my ear are ringing,
I try and find the beautiful face in my thoughts of the dream I dreamed the night before, The solemn warm tranquility, I barely remember but still wanting more.
I remember the feelings most, and the kindness that she showed, Aphrodite in disguise granting me my night of love, but will I ever know.
I understand its what my mind makes up for me, but try sleeping in my shoes for one night, you'll be craving the fantasy. I do not long for sleep, as a narcotic addict does for drugs, I enjoy the days and nights equally and the gifts from above.
Relax now fall away for it is the time to do that, escape this weird reality though soon you will be back. And when you return from slumber enjoy the day for day, as you will soon realise the memory of it's beauty too does also fade away.

Until another day...

2009-09-17T20:58:00.000-07:00

Slowly the ropes that tied us together burn apart and disappear, What once was is no longer clear. Silly moons and pretty stars bright, Once upon a time we sat under them at night. Talking about the future ever turning, while the fire we sat around was stirring. As time went on the fire grew hotter and the roads began to fork right and left, We both had our opinions and weren't sure which way was best. We did however seperate and enter our own solemn way, Until We meet again old friend, until another day.

A thank you...

2009-09-12T19:57:00.000-07:00

I remember when we we're younger I wanted to impress,
Though with you, you gave me praise none the less,
When we first met I made you nervous but you were shy,
Soon enough we were friends and I didn't have to try,
You were the one good person who liked me for me,
And when I lost a friend, you were there to set me free,
We talked a lot and were always there for eachother,
You were like a sister to me, and I felt like your brother.
I thank you for all you've done over the years no matter how small,
Really I appreciate it, since others would have done nothing at all,
I wish you for you happiness in every single way,
Because you have brought me joy every single day,
Your a true special girl, an Angel in disguise
Like the sun in the sky, your hope burning bright,

Jupiter in a night sky...

2009-09-12T19:42:00.000-07:00

Tonight I saw once again Jupiter with my naked eye,
It was up there and looked like star very bright,
So I pulled out a telescope and focused it into view,
With a 10mm lense I saw it clear and it's four moons,
I was really excited and amazed at what I saw,
I looked at it for almost 2 hours completely in awe,
And I think I experienced what Galileo had too,
When he looked into space and saw Jupiter true.
Remarkable; Amazing! And Alas I must go to sleep,
Maybe tomorrow night Jupiter again will my eyes see.

I dream of you

2009-09-09T20:32:00.000-07:00

So when I wake up, I feel I've fallen asleep again,
Because it's like I am, Seeing you in my dreams again,
You look so amazing, you look so beautiful,
Smiling all the time, your eyes are looking back at mine,
I say a little joke, you laugh a little bit,
I see your smile, the more you laugh the bigger it gets.
You put my hand on your chest, and I feel your heart beat best,
It gives me goosebumps everytime, to feel your heart beating with mine,
dum bada dum, dumba da dum bada da dum, dum bada dum da da dum da da badum
Our heart beats slowly, together were growing slowly,
Feeling like two is done, slowly were becoming one.
I am the happiest I've ever been, I hope you are too,
Because when I go to bed at night, I dream of you.

pieces of the puzzle.

2009-09-09T20:28:00.000-07:00

So all the pieces of the puzzle make me fall fast and befuzzled
as I work out the turns and slides in my mind,
Me and you fit together like this, we go together like that,
and I think if we put all the pieces together we'll be seeing our paths,
interwined in the middle of time between the sunset and the sun rise

A great day...

2009-09-07T19:44:00.000-07:00

hey now whatcha gonna do now, whatcha gonna do now,
your gonna go to sleep and in the morning you'll wake up,
and I'll make you breakfast to eat- drink orange juice that we like to eat-drink
Orange juice all over the floor, I spilled it, as you come you came walking through the door. Grab the towels do the dishes, sun is coming through the kitchen, windows. I drop everything right there, let it fill me up, your beautiful, and I pick you up, it's daylight, but we go to bed, soft I lay you down and kiss your head, and then your neck. You smell like summer coconuts and all pretty things, I hold you in my arms but your the one squeezing. The hair falls in your face, you blow it up back into place, phoosh, phoosh. We smile and we laugh, we smile and we laugh, you curl up a little bit. We just lay there, I don't want to go anywhere. It's time for lunch so I make us a nice grilled cheese, tomato soup and grilled cheese, let's eat-drink orange juice that we like to eat-drink orange juice that you are sipping, yummm. So hey now what we gonna do now, what we gonna do now, let's go to the beach, and swim in the sea, laid back. Were done swimming time for a little pic nic dinner, pb an j with some graham crackers and we eat-drink orange juice from our thermos, its great with what we eat-drink orange juice is a tasty sweet treat. It's time to go nowlet's go home and take shower wash off the day, a great day. The windows rolled down we drive through the countryside, the air is cool and it smells nice, fireflies, as we roll through the countryside. Soon were rolling up the driveway, and I carry you inside, asleep but smiling. And we lay down again, and I sing "hey now whatcha gonna do now, whatcha gonna do now..."

Ode to a friend...

2009-09-02T20:54:00.001-07:00

It was my birthday, we hadn't talked in over a year.
We used to be friends back in elementary and things fell apart.
We became friends again, back in high school.
Though it was never truly the same, though that day, when I heard your name...

I don't know what happened, only what I've heard.
I'm sorry that you were taken, earlier than what was expected.
I hope that you are now in a better place than before.
I pray to god that your family makes it through...

I wish you the happiest everafter and again, I'm sorry that we couldn't have been,
better friends.

Please know I do miss you in some way, like I missed my friend Michael before.
You were a brother and a son to some, and with us we were men.
Please know that you reminded me not take love for granted.
And know you've touched peoples lives and changed our worlds, I'm sorry that you weren't able to learn this before the end.

So on Saturday Many will try to say goodbye, some will pay respects and some will only cry.
But none of us will truly forget you or where we were on that day, when you my distant friend were taken away...

Alisha (to the song Lola)

2009-09-01T21:23:00.000-07:00

I met her in school back in fourth grade
Where you learn to read and spell little words like cola
C-o-l-a cola
She sat next to me and she passed me a glance
I asked her her name and in a low whispered voice she said Alisha
a-l-i Alisha a le-le-le lisha

Well Im not the worlds most ouspoken guy
But when she said "Let's be friends," I knew it'd be fine.
I'm friends with alisha ale-le-le-le lisha
I used to have to snip but sometimes I got a chance,
From Mr. Dawson who was a really cool cool man
And he'd call on alisha le-le-le-le lisha le-le-le-le lisha

Well we played on the play ground an then got homework sigh,
But she always seemed to get hers right
We always had fun playin on basketball teams
And we'd always have fun swingin' on the swings
Well Im not the worlds most acrobatic guy,
But when I jumped off the swing I almost knocked over Alisha
Ale-le-le-le lisha le-le-le-le lisha Alisha
Ale-le-le-le lisha ale-le-le-le lisha

She would always always be polite.
She would open the door
Pick up a pencil dropped on the floor
She was always quick to say please
It didn't matter if it was you or me

Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for Alisha
ale-le-le-le lisha
Boys will be boys and girls will be girls
But shes been the greatest girl in the world
And she is Alisha
ale-le-le-le lisha

Well I started college just a week before
And now here I sit rewriting this score
to lola, I smiled and played the song again
And thought I wonder how I'm gonna make this end

Well Im not the worlds most richest man
But I'm glad that I have her for a friend,
And my friend is Alisha
Ale-le-le-le lisha le-le-le-le lisha Alisha
Ale-le-le-le-le lisha le-le-le-le lisha

Why can't it be.

2009-08-17T07:23:00.000-07:00

It was the week of 8/17/2009,
and we were all wanting back our good ol' times,
Back those many years when we were all kids,
Makin up games, an gettin' our kicks.
Life these days seems like livings done,
Giving up what makes us fun.
Well all the adults say it's a part of life,
But I say that's a rotten lie.

We used run around play hide and seek,
We couldn't lift a darn heavy thing,
Used to build forts and eat mac'n'cheese,
Then we'd go outside and climb the trees,
That was back in the good ol' days,
When we didn't have to worry about bills to pay.
Life was simple we had fun livin',
Each new day a surprise we were given.

Chorus
Now why--- can't it be--,
All of that time we felt free--.
Our unexperienced eyes,
were surprised at everything we saw,
We enjoyed the sunsets, and snow falling,
And there was halloween in the fall,
Now why--- can't it be--, back the way it was,
Back when we didn't know anything.

A life worth living (V2)

2009-08-16T22:19:00.000-07:00

Show me a world that I can change,
I'll show you a reality untold.
Show me a life that I can raise,
I'll show you a story unfold.
Show me words which were softly spoken,
I'll show you piano notes singing.
Show me mechanical things broken,
I'll show you the potential of thinking.
Show me sunsets and stars bright,
I'll show you a wonderful tonight,
Show me the moons glowing light,
I'll show you dreaming eyes.
Show me a shoulder to cry on,
I'll show you raindrops sigh.
Show me a strong untamed lion,
I'll show you a majestic pride.
And If you see the worlds true joys,
I'll show you a world that's spinning.
And when comes your end of days,
I'll show you a life worth living

I punched 100 billygoats...

2009-08-10T20:58:00.000-07:00

You we're sad one day,
So I threatened a billygoat,
You cheered up!
You were sad for a week,
So I puched a billygoat,
You cheered up!
For some damn reason you we're sad again,
So this time I punched 10 billygoats,
And you cheered up!
So tonight when I saw it was a sad day,
I decided to drive it all away, and I punched 100 billygoats!
NOW CHEER UP!
Because next time your sad,
I will punch a 1000 billygoats and they'll get mad,
And I'll get beat up by the 1111 billygoats really bad.

How to Poetry

2009-08-04T19:31:00.001-07:00

Scrambling thoughts are good

you let them rattle as they go

then you just pull them out

as they come to you

my movie

2009-08-04T19:26:00.000-07:00

I wish that I had some fresh bread rolls and some milk

Cedar Lake Kitchen

I had breakfast there on Sunday

Real Country Breakfast, scrambled eggs biscuits and gravy and bacon

$7.48

plus $2 tip

Kind've expensive but worth it

I miss Cedar Lake

the sunsets and the times I would get dinner at CLK Steak and fries with a pepsi sometimes with friends or with my mom

we would eat and talk about whatever we heard that day, the sky would glow orange and the clouds lit up like fire

the light blue and deep blue skies mixed together so softly the stars would come out the sunset shining of the windows from the car shop on the corner

Oldies music playing from the speakers

we would leave and get in the car and the cool air would reach us and our noses were filled with the smells of freshly cut grass from that day and exhaust

it was my movie

Show me a fire...

2009-08-04T18:18:00.001-07:00

Show me a fire blazing in fields,
I'll show you the start of a meadow,
Give me a shirt to cover my back,
I'll thank you for the warmth,
Show me your calloused skin,
I'll be grateful for the work you did,
Take in a stranger cold,
Warm him by the fire and feed him full,
What does it matter that we do this,
Ask yourself, why does the fire burn.

Ode to Pat Jensen

2009-08-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

To my friend who met his end,
Six string player
Played his six string well,
Listening to the notes as the fell,
If you ever think the originals were best,
Pat Jensen played his six string,
And His version sounded better than the rest.

My longing for past times...

2009-07-30T17:09:00.000-07:00

My mind is thinking about old days,
Nostalgic moments come in waves.
Thinking of the good ol' times when I didn't care,
Because I didn't understand enough to be scared.
We would play our games and climb our trees,
Making up random rules and scraping our knees.
We played long and hard until the streets glowed,
From the street lamps and car lights as by they drove.
Our mothers would call us and we'd let out moans,
Wanting to play some more, not wanting to go home.
And as I walked back I looked at the sky on the horizon,
Silhouettes, purple skies, fiery clouds, I was in awe then.
The sunsets seemed more vibrant as a kid I remember,
The night air smelled more refreshing, in September.
And I remember one time when I climbed a tall tree,
I was up the highest ever, swaying in the wind, free.
The sun shone gold and the wind was hard,
When I was up there I felt like I was flying far,
That to me was the last real moment of my childhood,
After that I learned too much and understood.
The problem with money and how it etches our desires,
And the hatred it brings how it lights many fires,
Now I sit here writing my simple toast,
To those fun and silly times we miss the most.
Because we were kids back in those days,
And now those moments only come in waves.

Met a new friend...

2009-07-22T19:53:00.000-07:00

So I met a girl tonight who likes eating flaming cheetos,
I'm glad it's that and not flaming speedos.
We like TBBT and talked for while,
About life and and the emoticon smiles.
I showed her my poetry's and rhymes,
And was glad she read them and had a good time.

My hands...

2009-07-07T21:24:00.001-07:00

I used to look at my hands as a young kid, they always looked the same. I used them to climb trees, to play catch and to pick up rocks. They remained smooth with no wrinkles. A period of time passed that I hadn't looked at my hands, yet I continued to use them, writing, working on cars, moving rocks . When I looked at them again they were worn and wrinkled, lines everywhere, with deep grooves, telling my story.

An enemy my friend...

2009-06-20T18:00:00.000-07:00

An enemy is now my friend.
Constantly I judged through misguided eyes.
A fool was I, though pride relinquished no admittance.
In recent I grew to understand my enemy.
Time passed, and I extended my hand in kind.
With only trivial quarrels my mind was at ease.
Curious still yet events to be unfolded.
My hand accepted, but yet do we speak...

The light and dark.

2009-06-03T17:25:00.000-07:00

Dark's accusation:
Who pinched the sun from the sky,
And squeezed the clouds of rain?
Who wrestled the moon from the stars,
And made the night dark and plain?
Who pulled the meteors from the night,
And stole our wishes of peace and grain?
Who saw fit to douse the cold blue fires,
That filled the night sky and lit our way?
Lest ye feel forever pain and suffering,
Of thy horrible deed, sit whimpering.

Light's recant:
The sun has not gone from the sky,
And the clouds pour their rain.
Who could wrestle the moon from stars,
You are all mad, crazy, insane!
Never shall anyone take her meteors,
Their is plenty of food and grain.
They are sleeping the cold blue fires,
And will yet come back to light your way,
I say open your eyes now and see the light,
Follow me now, out of cave, into the bright.

Dark's recant:
This is no cave good sir you lie,
You trick us to follow you in pain.
Intending to lead us away, very far.
Leaving us in darkness, for shame.
Now do right and return the stars.
And the moon to it's rightful place.
Then leave us, you ghoulish scar,
We will find our way the same.
Now do as is told and leave us be
Back to our life as it should be.

Light's plee:
Very well, oh blind brothers of tar,
Stick to the foolish darkness plain.
And when you think to call me afar,
My response will be the same.
Come and follow me into the Star,
The light of heavens here hath came.
Open weary eyes and leave the dark,
And join in the warmth of heavens flame.
Lest you should be those that stay,
Don't be, dear brothers, walk with me.

Ripped my shorts(Freeverse)

2009-05-12T07:52:00.000-07:00

I bent over to fix some flowers and Hrrriiipp!
"What the fuck!!!"
I ripped my shorts and went to the store in them.
Big diagonal rip about 8 inches wide, gaping hole.
And then I bought new shorts.
They we're comfortable.
Sigh of relief, "Cute butt!!!"
Blushing red I say, "Eat your heart out!"
I walk away smiling get in my car and drive away.
Wow what a day.

Dead Poets Society

2009-05-06T19:39:00.000-07:00

Our long heard cry, Carpe Diem, seize the day,
Living deep, sucking the marrow of life as we may.
Out of the sitting crowd some got up to stand,
Out of the shyest room some grew bold and raised a hand.
Against conformity, against the grain,
Desolating formality, Artists were we in plain.
"Oh, Captain, my captain!!!" We sail the turbulent wind,
You found us only boys, but made us men.
Freethinkers are we, the proud few you see,
Of one accord are we, the Dead Poets Society.

A Dark Event in the Peaceful Forest....

2009-05-05T19:10:00.000-07:00

Silver plated guitars string the notes away, under the sun they play and play.
The night becomes them, the fires start, the trees glow with embers spark.
The wet dew resides and the forest grows silent, except the merry children all is quiet.

The moon shines through the trees, the soft silver light puts the wise at ease.
They too join the childrens' glee, light footed and ever dancing happily.
Off in the distance danger lurks, watching and waiting with an evil smurk.

The night grows colder and sleep approaches, still waiting patiently evil encroaches.
The children slip off to sleep unaware, as the wolf comes on the prowl teeth bare.
The Elders still awake converse by the fire, unaware of the evil about to transpire.

Quickly the wolf attacks fierce, blood pours from a man skin pierced.
Screams ring from man in pain, quick spear thrusting, the evil wolf is slain.
The chaos ceases, an evil chorus, a dark event in the Peaceful forest.

Purple confusion music.

2009-05-05T18:59:00.000-07:00

This confusing music has me tripping all over myself, It's not rock or jazz or blues,
I hear purple, that deep passionate sadness, where your bleeding for clues.
You left me here too quickly,
In love and wanting, where is she,
She's gone away and left me with this confusing vinyl, belting notes of distress and tears,
The bleeding purple sadness creeping in, the blood on the ground drying, the creeping fears.
