The Face Of Your Lover
The
World’s Most Successful Cult
Wake
Up And Eat My [Brothers] Wheaties
Let this hour be a reminder to you
As infinite as time
So is this Love
For it is always there
And it always will be
Whether we want it or not
It never ceases to govern
This it does to me, far too easily
I’ve no control and
I hate this in the norm
But a person like you
I’ve never met before
When you look at the time
Time & Time again
Remember our moments
Wish me, by your side
Knowing, I’m wishing too
What’s to come, we will see
Life is far too unpredictable to know
It’s a chance I’ll take, It’s a wish I’ll make
For you.
It’s only w/ the heart you can see clearly
What is essential is invisible to the eyes
The eyes are blind so look to the Heart
Party Favors.
Extra good times.
The Score.
Ammunition To Get Loaded
Do not use as a crutch
Rather an eloquent spice on life
Heralded to the Psyche
As I look upon the house of dog
The new ones ascend the stairs
Unknowingly worshipping the life
Under the bright Vanilla Sky
I’m smoking My Lord
It says you love me
Then fades away like all the others
Knowing where you’re going
What you decide, will bide
Looking for answers, But finding none
Looking for someone, who doesn’t exist
I’ve got an answer, And I am the one
The ultimate destination of everything in the universe
Is a state of maximum entropy
Don’t be the anchor on my ship
Be the wind in my sails
Don’t be the ice on my road
Be the friction I feel
My heart is uncompromising in the mantle of night
Ornamented with a years light
I love this land and my circle of friends
Want it to last to the end
I cried with Animal Nakedness
My favorite feline astride my thigh
Death was on my mind
Death of a family
Death of this Love
Tomorrow will bring
No one can compare
Wind outside, coming on thru
Wash my thoughts
And Cares of you
Deathwish, Deathwish, Deathwish Whore
Come true so I can see you…
I guess I’ll go now
And see you later forever
Why do we not want to leave what is known?
Born crying we are,
w/o Security of the womb:
A home w/ warmth
Will I leave Dyin & Cryin
In my Animal Nakedness?
Once death becomes us
We are the food of worms
I’ve got so many tales to tell
When I crossed the bridge
And broke on thru, Realized
I was dazed and confused
The scene of my life anew
Another change I’ve made
An inspiration-Motivation-kick in another
I’ve got so many tales to tell
Half of which I can’t explain
Guess you gotta be there
To ride my plane
If you always follow in another’s footsteps
No trace of you will exist
Do not follow where the path may lead
Go instead where there is NO path
And leave a trail
I’ve got so many tales to tell
There is nothing new Under the sun
All is vanity
Create your world around you
I change people
People change me
Transferrential energy
Ubiquitous life circle
I’ve got so many tales to tell
My Dad, He never read to me
My
My Sister, She Always told on me
My Brother, He went away till he changed
Now I don’t wanna be
Social
I don’t wanna be
With you
I don’t wanna go
There too
So just leave me A-
Lone now
Cause I really don’t
Like you
The Cops, they always followed me
My Teachers, they always scolded me
My Bosses, they always chided me
My Women, they always bothered me
Why must we always answer to somebody?
Why don’t you forget about it?
I’ll let you know when I do…
She said I was her Angel, She said I was her Saviour,
She said “I like your bed, it’s comfy, and that’s really nice.”
Oh yeah? Why don’t you join me?
Going through the motions of life
This is your world, I’m just passing thru
Instead of learning
You strive to teach
Our roles reversed
I’m now the leach
It’s in the dark
Class is held
Candles all around
Our souls to weld
I learn in the night time of my intelligence:
If you play the part
You can BE the art
Blessed with warmth on the day I came
You knew the world will never be the same
Open my Eyes and I'm still here
Say hello to another Birthday year
It's good to see, another year you've made
Said the father of a friend I wish to lay
Year after Year, Day after day
I'm Loving this life, In every way
Living it up & staying low
It's the way you gotta be
In this day and age
I've got a lot to learn, I've heard them say
Walk a mile in my shoes, and I'll let you rephrase
Through thick and thin, Down and out
Over the edge or On the ground
The Friends I have won't let me down
When the moon is out
And clouds cover sparsely
A nocturnal sky
Memories of days forgotten
Flash to my eye
Phantom, Ghost of Ardor
I see no more, and cannot trust
I saw you standing there that night
The moon on your countenance
And in your eyes
And in your eyes
We walked alone in the rain
A blissful storm: You and I
With a face that recommends trouble:
I met you and was nervous
Should I take you to your house
Or do you wanna go home with me?
She is coming to my house…
What was it I said?
Yes, you’re someone that I’ll allow
What was it I said?
I want you inside my head
Cause you called me in the night time
I wished that I was home
I could have heard your voice then
I would have heard your tone
Where was I when you called me?
This I do not know
But I’m glad we spent that night together
It was more than I could say
We spent the night in comfort
That night and the next day
I see you coming again now,
I need you with me here
I feel you coming somehow
I want you to be near,
It was the greatest night… of my life
And only promised to get better
1986.
Summer.
6th Grade Hoodlum Friends
A gathering in the back
Of a favored feline's house
Far across the clearing
In the Cemetery, Strange Colored Streetlight
Effervescent Unknown Blue
Wait! Blue Streetlight?
Each slow century of its movement
Across the meadow came,
Though, I knew no fear
Moving closer, it revealed shape
Proving a Triangle
Symmetrically Perfect: Vanity
Oblivious, sole witness
Until it was Halfway
From it's birth
Sliding at an Arrant height
Stopping 10 feet up, Away
It hung in the air, suspended
Curiosity, Amazement, Enlightenment
Transcendence of me, Suspense
Backyard afire in unearthly glow
Effervescent Unknown Blue
Instant.
Gone.
Tim Shupe, Bobby Artino, Karla Plue, Tanya White
All were witness to this Transcendence
What the fuck was that thing?
No Exclamation.
No Explanation.
Karla, Last one left, commemorated
Senior year.
1992.
It was late summer, 1986. During my hooligan youth
trial phase. Me and some of my friends of mine were doing what the youth of all
small towns across
We were at Tanya’s house which was situated across a long, grassy field from Woodlawn cemetery. I had hopes that Tanya would be interested in me when we set out to explore the cemetery. I was under-developed for my age, but hey man, all adolescents want to get laid. You just have to do the best you can with the hand your dealt at any given age.
A band of adventurers, in the middle of a moonlit night. Perhaps a rare blue moon? At the age of 12, a graveyard is an exciting place to be in the middle of the night. It lived up to all our expectations, scaring ourselves to whits running around acting like idiots in that burial ground. But we were not prepared for what was to happen in the next hour….
We returned to Tanya’s backyard. My hopes of attracting Tanya were unrewarded as she was on the lap of Tim, I believe. However, I can’t place the exact “couples” of the night any longer: only that I was the only one alone and away from the rest of them. A bit disappointed, sitting there in my wooden chair I was looking across the meadow toward the graveyard. I remember the meadow being very well lit by the moonlight and I noticed a streetlight in the cemetery. “Odd,” I thought, “What’s a streetlight doing in the middle of a cemetery.” I continued to observe in that direction, when I noticed the “streetlight” began to get ever-so-slightly bigger and brighter.
Fractions of an inch per second, but it was undeniable: this “streetlight” was getting bigger, no wait a minute- not bigger CLOSER! It was coming closer to me. As I surveyed the object it began to take on the shape of a small, perfectly symmetrical triangle… and it was actually an amazing shade of blue, kind of fluorescent but somehow moving on the inside, if you will. Effervescent, comparable to a windows media player 7.0 visualization.
Inch
by Inch this triangle made it’s way over to me; mesmerized, until it was a huge
glowing blue triangle of a light I cannot explain. It was hovering about 10-15
feet above the ground from my outdoor gathering, semi-circle of friends. Almost
as if we were the audience, it cast that amazing blue light throughout the
backyards of
And with no sound, smell, or breeze it was gone. As if it had never happened. Did it? Disappeared. Did I alone imagine the thing? Tim Shupe was the first to speak: “Holy shit, what the FUCK was that thing?” That was when we all broke into fast-paced conversation. “I can’t believe…” “What the fuck…” were common exclamations. I was at a loss of words to describe how I felt, what I saw. Numb, shocked, anxious, afraid. A 12-year old curiosity never to be explained.
That is one of my experiences with unexplained phenomena, what I believe to be my transcendence. Who know, maybe that is what HAS made the difference in MY temporary life. Where are the others from that night? Are they as I am? Cosmic consciousness descended upon the backdrop of my psyche that night. Or is it just Arrogant Asshole conceit??
A lot has changed since we last met: Secrets to Regret
Jobs lost and found: Feelings are Set
Feelings left unchanged
Maybe it was time for a change
Penny for your thoughts
“Can I walk with you?”
Footsteps in the Sand
I have always been beside
Recall the lone Set:
I carried you while you cried
I have this now buried
Take me home, Take me alone
Take me
with, and let me
Music distant on Dusk’s Horizon
Overpowering our silence
And I feel above
Overpowering my senses
Can we be together, Alone in the night?
Our capsule of Warmth
Among the moths flight
I’d like to go & Migrate
Are we not like the seasons?
Changing & Shifting; Shifting & Changing
Paradigms
and
Your trip was long; illimitable
You came to the candle called your life
MAKE it yours!
Vow to be awakened t’night/t’day
Right now it’s still only a candle in the sunshine
Sunshine is everywhere…
I await the train
The decade of minutes goes by
The Angel steps out
And passes me by
She leads the way and I follow
Fuck this!
There’s Rock & Roll in the streets
With People all around that I wanna meet
Well, I woke up this morning, and put on my Blue Jeans
Went to the mirror and combed my hair
I said to myself: “Self you’re bad… and you know it yeah.”
I’m sex on legs
And a Demon on Wheels
I’m outta sight, Far Out, Stylin’, Trendy,
I’m invogue, Contemporary, Groovin', funkadelic
Cause I’m bad, and I know it Yeah
I’ve got the look.
I’ve got the taste.
I’m with the latest.
I’m in the mode.
I’ve got the Fad.
I’m Cosmopolitan, I’m Schick, Popular, In the Groove,
I’m current, of the time, Modern, Suave, and Urbane
I’m ChiChi, I’m ChiChi, I’m ChiChi, I’m ChiChi
Watch me fucking spin.
Fall Sun Behind Trees
Casting Season Change
Birds Prepare Migrate
Death Summer Bears
Repose Cold Come
Days Work Done
I am born.
I fall asleep.
I Dream the dream of Life
I die.
I awake to eternal rapture
The Drum, Powerful Drum of life
Beating, Beating, Beating
Tick, Tick, Tick
Clock of Perfect, irrefutable time
Forever running, Power of time
In Love with the production (of time itself)
Rough to Smooth
Smooth to Wrinkle
Wrinkle in Time
Time to Change
Change for the Better
Better or Worse
Worse than Before
Before it was Rough
Beauty to Heaven or Hell
Will sooner than you know…go
Day by day time goes away
Hours pass by, in a blink of an eye
Patience of Hours
Always prevail and overcome
The strongest of wills
As if standing still
Like leaves on the green tree
We come and go
Grow and fall
Back to the ground
A field of Favored Flowers
That which my Desired Loves
Under a sky, Lucid Blue
A day that recommends heaven
Is nothing compared to you
You’ve destroyed my perception
Created a Vison I need
Warping my Reality
Contaminating my surroundings
I was loved by you
The only dream that mattered
I dream of you daily, Hating you lately
I’ve got so much Fucking shit
But I’ve lost the one I Love
I now live in a place, We both dreamed of
It hurts to remember,
But not nearly as bad as before
Each time it happens, Pain is my whore
The hurt slowly degrades
And soon I will have nothing
Nothing to Feel.
Nothing to Leave.
I feel so fucking elated,
Weight’s been elevated
As I’m drawn down into the sludge
As I look outside my plane window
I notice the ground and it paints a picture below
I’m thinking about the change
Of a girl and her new beau
Knowing the difference between
A guy and his show
The sounds outside hide the feelings inside
Who will pierce the feelings magistrate?
It’s a demography nameless
The wind, My hair
The air, My skin
Coup d'etat of thoughts & feelings
I smell the dawn, Taste the day, Hear the sunset,
Touch the night, I See the twilight
I speak the yearning and know of learning
From the days of Yore and early more
Shouts of glee,
Childhood youths
Down the block
Coming down the trail
Sunlight and Bright
Just like the eyes
Of the small kitten hanging loosely
Among the broken, beaten, branches
Of its sister plants.
Forgotten The Face Of Your Lover
Talk show radio in the background
Droning hertz voicing comforting consolation
Another
lost
You’ve forgotten the face of your lover
We’ve hit rock bottom
We live in a material society
And lie in a throw away world
Will this become a Lie,
In my Seraph’s bedroom drawer?
Or build it higher than ever before?
You’ve brought my days to a crawl
My nights to a state of entropy
All the time and feelings
Invested with hope
Let Down/Face Plant/Stealing
Nothing more than a Joke
I’ll always let you be mine
Standing in your fucking line
And then I realized I was nothing
More than a stone skipping
Across the still lake of your life
This is exactly what I needed
To get back in touch with who I am
Back to who I am
Back to where I came
But, How much of what I wanted to say
Have I managed to convey?
In your moment of realization
In the light of Truth
The instance of clarity dawned upon YOU!
Take a moment to Remember
Smell the roses, The Bliss of childhood
Eternal summer days, Endless hot nights
Journey through developmental education
The virgin day was yours to find and know
Caring for nothing; but yourself
Egocentric pleasure from the environment
Joy of unending energy…
Mature adults try to emulate this stage
ALL IN VAIN, too much responsibility
For it is a deadlock with Expectations Great
And the fountain of Youth Endeavor
Let us return now to our ignorant Sapience
This night, before tomorrow’s requirements
Throw US headlong first into the
Rushing waters of life
Are we not all merely sticks along the shores
Of a
LIFE?
Going with the flow?
Have fun while you are young,
For the End will always come
Gates Of
I wanna ride w/ you through the skies
Drive on to the heavens
Arriving at
the gates of
Parking where we want to
Get out and walk the Path
Coming upon any fork, Yeah
Taking the one less traveled
Making all the difference tonight
Laying in the grass, Moving like a snake
Across my body
You are dressed like a Devil
But I’m feeling like a Angel
In the presence of God
The guilt of Animal nakedness
Being shaken, tunneling down my back
Going w/me to the blinding light
So if you can’t see, look to your heart
For I’m a descendant of Sacred Heart High
Lying between what lives and dies
Life is procreated, Genesis Reborn
Life is the only health
Death is the only wealth
Will you open the door
Open the gates of paradise?
That golden place between your thighs
Oh, mamma it feels like I’m
Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven’s door
My fifth element, My God-Send, My Score
My heart is rabid, under the blanket of night
Ornamented with an aurora’s light
And I am still outside the gates of paradise
6 year old boy
Moving small boulders with callow enthusiasm
Cloudy dismal day, searching for the unseen flower
Transform to different stages of life
As he finds something new
The child within is always there
I wait alone in anxiety eagerly
For the sound of a turning key
Will she come to me, or just leave me be?
Sleepless, Nervous, Daunting
Tossing, Turning, Wanting
Love is Pain wanting Death
Come and kill me with your breath
Last rights said by whom?
Let me enter the kingdom of you
The longest, most important to date
You’ve let me find my youthful pain
This is what hurts me the most
Strong Love that’s now a Ghost
Angel hair in my brush; No More
Returning to a point we’ve been before
Time has gone, Time hast past
Look how our lives have changed at last
As I get older
My shell hardens far too much
I must be careful
In my book of Life
I turn the pages and Live
Each day to the Max
Hypnotize the Snake
Hypnotize the Snake
Feel the power in its wake
Feel the snake… Strike
Venom, Poison, Death unto you
Know the impending situation that you’re in:
FEEL IT, FEEL IT, In your leg
FEEL IT, FEEL IT, In your veins
FEEL IT, FEEL IT, Now you beg
FEEL IT, FEEL IT, In your brain
FEEL IT, FEEL IT, In your Heart
FEEL IT, FEEL IT, All in VAIN
Why do you love me, I really don’t know
Must be something inside me, That just doesn’t show
I can’t believe it, When you’re next to my side
A Seraph heaven-sent, Along as my guide
Together we’re traveling, Never to divide
Love is our bonding, To which we’ll confide
Facing life’s changes, From which we can’t hide
With you I’m not worried, I know we’ll survive
Of this I’m confident, certain and sure
Bullet proof is our loving, I know we’ll endure:
Allow my spirit to drive me forward
Into the wilderness of perfection
I dream of the Love I have and make
My body betrays me, when I’m next to you
Powerless, in an oasis of affection
My eyes met yours, your eyes met mine
I am yours till the end of time
I want to see, through the vagueness
The other side of the clouds
Witness the truth, knowing clarity
Transcendence.
I have risen
Miniscule
I will stop
Infinity
If I could paint,
I would paint the day you came
Into my life
Did you ever think I’d know
The day I’d shed a needless tear?
Thinking about you, before we were.
The time you ran away-
Back to the comfortable Wrong
When my gaze turns to my Ringfinger
My thoughts begin to wander,
Have you ever had an orgasm
While sitting upon the Spanish steps?
Leaving all the people with
Nothing but a wondering guess
You’ve turned me into a snake of love
Waiting in the grass, from the beginning
Seducing and striking you with my venom
A venom you empowered me with-
I never knew before
I tried to bring you down into my world
Instead, you brought me up into yours.
In a world above, I have my Seraph
I give thanks for the sleepless nights
It allows me to appreciate,
Smooth warmth
For minutes or hours more
If I could paint,
I would paint the day you came
In my room, Late at night
The moths they see
Fly to my dark light
Attracted…
They come to death
Innocence Injured
Innocence in the bike trails
Swinging on Summer vines
Sudden, Incredible Pain
Racewaypark T-Shirt
Turned to Crimson Cotton
Bleary, Questioning Vision
Lead to another world
And my shoulder still holds the
Lead pearl as a Treasure
In my Tissue
I think I’ve seen her before
And believe me: she ain’t the girl next door
Cause this Love’s like a stone
Cold & Hard when you’re all alone
More of a bane than a boon
I think I’ve found it too soon
This is a first
Should I bow or should I curse?
Is it a bane or is it a boon
That I see the face of the Moon?
He’s screaming at me with a look of urgency
I cry myself to sleep
Visit the secret place
In the land of tears
I think I’ve seen her before
And believe me: she ain’t the girl next door
Jack Hammer Thumps, Pumps
In a
Cars rush by, through the Fairytale setting
RotKelchen, Germanic bird, flutters to the rail
Inspecting my scene with disapproval
As an electrician leaves my abode
He walks along the Philosophen weg
Motte, Germanic Moth, flees frantically from the
Lawnmower death landscape
A Pompous Aryan at the controls
I have failed to adapt as well
My concrete courtyard
Is stained
I have been assimilated, unbeknownst
Dawned on me, by Society
Let me dive into your world
Let me swim right thru your tide
Climbing up your river
COME along for the ride
Feeling like this forever
Givin me more inside
Floating thru the night,
Our perfection can’t be denied
Forget tomorrow, revere tonight’s union
Penetrate the dawn
Make love with the mind
Our Bodies will follow
Music is my Love, your body is my soul
Automatic, charismatic for the soul
You’re coming thru my doors
A Past that influences actions of Today
Free Spirit Destiny Guiding, providing a way
Checking all restrictions at the door outside
We gather today our whole group: inside
Intermixing w/ society I’m urging to confide:
Who among you came along for the ride?
What are people up to, everywhere I see,
I wonder sometimes if they’re designed like me
Never met before, but I always knew
An innate penchant for Green Onions infused
All those that agree, I survey nationwide
Who among you came along for the ride?
Life is a Diamond, Find the facets within
Explore every carat, Let Life truly begin
Following this, you’ll never regret
Stories for generations you will beget
Inviting secrets, I ask opening wide
Who among you came along for the ride?
I met you, enchanted
Can we go somewhere?
Maybe get a bite to eat
Catch a flick
Let’s do these things
Little things along the path to ecstasy
On our road to Bliss
I want to see you
I need the solace of your embrace
I want to see your face- in it’s place:
By my side!
Make it happen- don’t try to hide
And I’ll give you a lesson to learn
That keeps on teaching
A place where there are no women
I await my friend
A place of mutual ground
Where new friends are found
Old ones regained.
I await a friendship that was
But has been stained
Can it be cleansed?
The question remains.
A loose cannon I may be
Never known, for punctuality
But that is a given with a person
Of my posterity.
Let it be known to all and one
Harm it’s not I wish to be done
I cannot apologize, The endeavor- futile
I am not myself anymore, My Friend.
Let me return again, My Friend.
I’ve lost who I was, What I used to be
I need to know, Relearn to walk again
My own shoes., On my street again, way again
Don’t let me be Alone and unfree
Unhinder my thoughts to Roam to
I need you to do this.
United w/ my past, I stand.
Alone in the present, I fall.
I can no longer accept the solitude
In which I live, foreign to my mind
Please, My friend
Let it rewind, let it go, let it be
Catharsis is good for you. And me.
Let me reknow the sky
Thank you for listening
The choice is yours.
The Media is our Truth.
Whether it’s a lie, exaggeration
Or the “Real Deal”
We can never TRULY know
Big Brother is watching
News Flash Just IN……
Watching our mind control boxes
We think we know what happens in the world
Nothing could be further from the TRUTH
Money, Power, Politics, Personal & Public Beliefs
Influences what we see
A distorted view of reality
People waiting for Transpo
But where are they going?
Talking on the phone
But what are they saying?
The state of affairs is like a stain
Politics and government voted in
By people w/o a brain
I know what I know,
Sometimes I know
How I know what I know
But I’m not sure of anything
The real world is nothing but falseness
Is living an illusion better than a dead reality?
My blue Eyes Saw
The Gypsy moth flutter
Blindly to the light
As I brought the book down
I watched the moth enter the wheel of life
The memory fades by day
Though I pine for the light
To lead me out of this Ghetto
I Wish to drink of another life
I wish to fly another wheel
Beginning it again, I sit in my throne of luxury
Surrounded by an aura of yellow mercury ambiance
Being the king of the situation
The day is sweating outside
Liquid sunshine waiting to drench me
Take the weather on the road
I realized my Destiny
In a place where I waged War on War
Making and taking Peace by force
Mutual fear brings peace
My childhood is over
And I’m not grown up
Thrust, fucked thrown into
Deathfast white water rapids
Life up shit creek w/o a paddle
Baby, baby on the floor
w/ the cat and no rattle
A country in Peril: No More
People flow through the streets
Rivers of Life
Demonstrating the difference
The library’s musician plays
Once again
The musician’s library holds books
Once again
I love to catch my own bugs
Delicious, segmented bodies
Antennas I use to grab them,
Helpless to get away
I am the spider
They, caught in my web
Though some of the bugs look like spiders
They are not like me, an alien
I breathe differently,
My blood can boil,
One false move, I am dead
Yet I am the hunter,
Armed Appropriately
Spider Spinning my Lattice
I take these risks and more
To find my favorite bug of all
It is conceited,
Among the cracks and crevices,
Immune to predators.
Like a tick confident in a scatter rug
Waiting to Pounce Upon it’s Prey
Twitch, Twitch, Tweak; Squeak
I see one now
Pause, I descend
I know its weakness
From behind I come
With my lightning snare
It is mine.
Bagged, brought, boiled
Use my crackers to crunch
The delicious, segmented body
Give me my butter, Pass me the salt,
I want to enjoy my favorite bug
I’ve written to you, Now I know why
You inspire me, My Love
Being away from you
Makes me realize
Where others may stray
My Seraph awaits my homecoming
I’ll be there today.
I had to write something
Which tonight I’ll give
It’s from the heart, baby
I can’t deny you this
I’ve know it from the start
You are the one who waits;
Alive and by my side
I’ll go with you till the end of the ride
I hope it’s long, not too short, My love
And I will go till the end of its worth
In an Oasis of Irish
In the
I saw first my good devil…
My blue-changed-black Blind eyes
Saw, not uncolored windows to the soul
Hypnotize I
Standing before me. Aware.
My summer heart was craving liquid coolness
Such as thee
You all know the fucking Truth, man.
The good devil is always a She
She is so good to me
The salt of Love sprinkled upon
My thoughts turn to her
She puts her arms around me
As I’m thinking of the other
She feeds me, but it’s HER that
Quenches my thirst
She tries to talk w/ me
But I speak only of the first
When you see her back in the reflection
On the glass of your door
You know she’s going.
You know she’s gone
I enjoy walking the streets
Seeing the faces and places that greet
It is my playground- The devil dances upon it
With a gleam in his eye
I fled west, with my comrades
Chasing the sun, Keeping the day
In the time of now
Ever-present lasting glow
Hot sun, I love you so
Now we’re on the beach, Sand is in our hair
Walk in the water, sea urchins everywhere
Aluminum foil artwork- there
Impressionistic, Artistic flaterware
More use, than what you have
Doing what you want ain’t so bad
Villa high on the hill
Rain & Sun coming and going
Blazing heat wetness, showing will
Dogs on the road, Cats inside
I enjoy life most, when I’m on the ride
I miss the land of my heritage
I love the way summer rides upon her Avery cliffs
Like an eagle frozen, Hovering in the sky
Even as you wait for me, I wonder why
Outside the weather’s not warm
Inside with you, your arms are my dorm
Where I’ll hesitate and stay
Meditate I’ll see you today
What will you say?
They all said I could have done better
All you did…. Was make… my tears
Reappear.
Walkin’ the streets by night
Thinkin about you, tryin to get it right
What did I say, What did I do
To make ya feel this way
All Sad & Blue
I wonder why, why I saw you cry
IN MEMORY OF ME
My thoughts keep me awake
During sleepless nights
Looking at my life’s wake
How fast it’s going- my frights
What am I doing here?
Why am I not somewhere else?
A distant memory comes near
I see and hear it clear as bells
Holidays come and gone; people celebrate
Alone I am, I commemorate
A meaning in my life… is there any?
Looking from the outside in… I see many
OUTSIDER, MISFIT, LONER
My love is hard like a stone
Even a tossed stone can be cherished
When you’re an outcast loner
I am the owner
Am I wasting my time?
Are we living for nothing?
The end for sure is truly coming
What’s the use…
When you can’t choose?
What’s the point of you?
What’s your point of view?
I am a plagiarist of Life
A sponge absorbing everything around me
Stillness, on a hot summer’s day
Tranquil muddy humidity all the way
Friends to see, Places to go
The day is free, full of faces to know
Loving is on my mind (as usual)
Breathe it in.
Breathe it out.
Am Filter Bringt Die Bilder
On the filter brings the pictures
The camel is a desert pony
And the others are coming.
I’m getting deeper on the run
But you’re the one I want to come
I watch the lover.
I despise.
Competition, Let’s see who’ll rise
Fate speaks of me
I know what I see
It’s a Prismatic Love Affair,
A drawing of the three
Triangle therapy is good
For the death of he
I will prevail.
Nobody knows
What we sail.
Just don’t wear my ring
When you hold his hand
Picking things up right where I left off
From a lifetime ago
Do you remember any of the words that were said?
It’s not the outcome I was looking forward to
I miss you more than I’ve ever missed anyone before
I never waited tables like I thought I would
Like I knew I would have been good
Getting a lot of tips
From people in need of advice
I never went down the road I thought I’d go
Never took the path, I thought I’d know
And it’s made all the difference
This night and in my days
I am NOT a shallow, or transparent guy
I’ll prove to those who conspire
And the light comes on
Great ideas, manifestations, epiphanies from the ethos
Are NOT gone from the psyche of today
When you look at me
What do you see?
A rearview mirror of your reality?
When I get back will you have told
Or will the story be the same as the old?
It Burns me up to have to wait!
It tears me up to wait for your heart
This I don’t deserve
What purpose does fervor serve?
You should be only mine
You are like the aged wine
All the while, young and fine
But when the silence is screaming
And the night is blinding
If the noise is soothing
Or the day is dark
Will you remember me?
I love the time of day
Where I drift between
Responsibility and Dreams
Resting Joy Images
Waking Thoughts and Ideas
Both, just out of reach
Get up, Get on, Give into Thought
NO! Snooze Doze… Back…. To…. Sleep
Droning Voice/Unheard Music
Now its time
Not to give into SNOOZE Again
Willpower, Overcome, Done
When you’re in bed, you’re dead
I wanna go to town
Up the skirts of the city
And just head on down the streets
Singing this little ditty
And you
were as old
as I am now…
I’m gonna have a GOOD time tonight
Bringin' out the tigers tonight
Cause I’ve the Eye
And I’m in the fight
And you
were as old
as I am now…
Are you with us this night?
To celebrate the times of yore
An artifact promise it’s not a bore
The Streets are long, sites on either side
Come upon the end of the trail
Our new religion will prevail
And if you don’t understand
You soon will w/ my heart underhand
Riders on the Storm always
Break on thru To the End
When the music’s over
I left my house
Decade, Blink of an eye ago
Took a left, kept on going
4,000 miles, just a step
Where will the path lead
Insignificance, Are we not?
I left my place of transcendence
To become a slave in a foreign land
Meditation, mediation
Will get me
Right Back
Where I came
My soul will rise AGAIN
From sleepy hibernation
Lying in this bed tonight
Can’t sleep to respite
Flash to the morn
I’m waiting for the sun to come up
And my Seraph to rise
Show her what its like
Another day, together alive
On our path through the forest
Anonymous of Life and this
The storms and shadows of night
It’s onward through the fog
In search of a light
I can say things I don’t mean
I’m the ugly duckling,
I’m the runt, black sheep, pipsqueak
All rolled into one
I’m the nightmare when you want a dream
I’m the whisper when you want to scream
I’m your altruistic enemy
I’ll never set you free
I’ll call you when you don’t need
I’ll leave a message when you’re not home
I’ll show up at your door
When I go, I’ll still want more!
Social Chameleon, ShapeShifter, Snake
I’ll adapt to your needs
Slithering right through your weeds
I’m the guy that you know
I’m the guy next door
All American boy.
Ubiquitous Mr. Nice Guy
I picked dandy lions
For my first love
On the way home from kindergarten
Motivating Macaroni & Cheese Awaiting me
I recall the unfinished house
In a city, universe away
I discarded a rind of
Honeydew cantaloupe forever
Cemented into the basement
In a new life of yours
We read Sonny Elephant
You were Mumsy, I Sonny
Together we flew from Man
And his Firestick, reliving
Your childhood Storybook
Curious George, Hamsters
A dog that looked like a Hamster
All bring back childhood
Memory hints.
Tendrils of smoke curl to indefinite heights
Creating a beautiful genie in rays of light
And now she’s gone, leaving me
Alone With my thoughts
I think to myself: Her future is bright
I know this, even through this foggy passage of rite
By the end of which, She’ll admit that I’m right
The rain and the wind, Hard times before
Come now to an end
I’d like to talk to her, tell her what I say
But she only allows me this
While she’s walking away
That memory still burns
The memory of you is still burned in
I wanna see you again and again
The venom of Desire burns in
My dreams, recurring w/o warning
In my thoughts, unsolicited
It’s now a cool September night
The hint of winter scents in the air
Descend upon us like an unwelcomed sheet
The dark clouds move slowly by
Across a charcoal sky
The canvas being drawn upon
Which dawn will paint the next day?
My father, My Dad
Parental Dogma, unheard
The best government is one
That does not govern.
I remember running wild
Streets at night, mine
I was the stealthy Infiltrator
In a World of my own
Too fast, too lucky to get caught
Sacrificing your trust
You let me do whatever I wanted
All my friends wanted you as their own
Best Dad In The World
Just like the mug says,
I thought nothing less, If not MORE
When you were lead
By the Man, to your first Vacation
In my Life
You Deserved it, Unforced
You Earned it, Undeserved
Supershock eligible, Supershocked we were.
Retrospective Tear
Growing up, doing extra chores
I exclaimed "That's not fair!"
To which you retorted
"Son, the World is not a fair place"
I only wish you did not exemplify this
To such an extreme
The Gardener & the Satyr mixed in the jungle of light
Confusion wrong doing see it’s not right
It’s my duty to spread pleasure on the land
The others are coming my way
That’s just the way they are
Waking, as the sun comes up
Lying in a field, Ditch of Past
Another world, Different life
Thinking back then of
The Life today I lead:
No regrets of any path I’ve chosen
Handcuffs à Community Service
Marriage à Divorce
Miranda Rights à Exoneration
Rock Bottom Lows, in the Valleys of living
Allows appreciation of Mountaintops
Ecstatic Highs of Existence
All these are the little rocks
That make up the path…
MY path less traveled
The little rocks that help me
Love the life today I lead
The family patriot Visits, and I am there for the first time in years. It's been quite awhile but he still looks the same as before, holding the flag, the last of a breed. He who Flew in the sky of uncertainty and steel rain, brothers who Fought on the shores of hell in an unforgiving land. It is he who truly knows the threshold of pain and the ecstatic luxury of blind comfort.
Those who fell that day long ago, those who went onward thru the blood, thru the shadows of fear to keep the torch of liberty lit. Those who fell are being forgotten in today's world, forgotten by masses who speak out against the actions of a nation of which alone has afforded them their mouth.
To them I declare this: be careful for what you pray, sometimes the gods answer, even if it is blasphemy.
The World’s Most Successful Cult
Compare the churchyards of Friday night
With the pulpits of Sunday Morn…
What is the real religion?
Fun, Happiness, Fellowship, Camaraderie
Christianity is the world’s most successful cult
Why is man so audacious, so vain to think
He is anything more than an animal?
Obsessed with words, notions and survival:
I’ve heard the proclamation
That the bible is “The most important book on Earth.”
Maybe so.
The most important book in the Universe, however,
Is the book of life.
Have you ever tried sleeping through judgment night?
While they’re picking up the bodies, and putting them on ice?
“The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience
Pleases the moralists, which is why they invented Hell,”
Bertrand Russell echoes in my thoughts
It’s 12 after 6: I’m awaiting the blessing of an Angel
I notice a tan, plastic bag floating in the wind
Alive as a bird would be
4 minutes later is lands like a basilisk
My weekend was long and great
Nice it was, to visit Nice
Cathartic for my mind: I rekindled
A dying fire of a contending relationship
The candidate saw another side
The REAL one of me
Only a glimpse I gave
Tip O’ the iceberg, my soul is deep
With unending, perpetual, eternal element of life
It’s E=MC2 on the periodic chart.
My Geist, My Love, My Passion
Alive and dead in Bliss
There is no difference between Life&Death
Only where your soul energy takes residence
To provide a label of existence
If death is not life, why is life always getting close to death?
To experience [Life] itself?
That is the question:
“To Live or not to Die.”
With your back to the sun,
You are nothing more
Than a caster of shadows.
Turn to face the coming day,
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter,
Morning, Day, Evening, Night.
Enjoy the seasons
Each day, transform
Days to weeks,
Weeks to years.
Relish the seconds,
Cherish the minutes.
Feel most alive, exceeding time,
Transcending the hours,
Becoming one with eternity
Of which we all are.
There is no present,
Like the time
Wake Up And Eat My [Brothers] Wheaties
Just got into town
I’m on the train, I look to the sky
I see a plane’s track cloud
Maybe it’s from mine?
It’s a beautiful day
Mine to have
I’ve got people to see.
Things to do (and miles to go before I sleep)
Yeah I’m comin’ on home
Been away for a long while
Am I possessed or just blessed?
I haven’t changed: you just view me differently
So just don’t ask what is wrong with me
Whatever happens tonight, untold
I’ll still wake up tomorrow and eat my wheaties
We come from far beyond, We come from far beyond
From a place called Fire pond
Believe in what you, Believe in what you
Believe in what you see
Descending from the, Descending from the
Heavens to bring you what you need
White lightning Rush comin' over my brain
Light-headed flash going through my head
Yeah, I want to rock and Roll w/ you tonight
Roll with you tonight
Trip with you tonight…
A hot chic and a bottle of wine
Has “Good Time” written all over it
A little music & entertainment
What more could one ask for?
We come in peace
And we mean you no harm
No need to run
And no need to hide
Cause we’re gonna find you out
Or inside
Yeah we’re sometimes here
And sometimes there
Between what lives and
What dies
Wise Man In
Out there
In the streets
Live the Aliens
To me,
My existence is Alien
To them
Who’s to say who is Alien?
“Not I,” said the wise man
Looking thru hard pressed sand
Life it seems hard pressed
Out of Sanctuary I look
Over the high-rich verandah
The natives are restless in their African huts
Primitive instincts, over knowledge
Endless beating of drum heat
Drives them on for they must eat
Crocodiles at the petting zoo
Calm, Cool, eyes of Onyx
Eagerly awaiting the next kill
Just outside the town heat
Predators awaiting fresh meat
But I SWEAR I’m not!!!
“Yeah, Yeah buddy we’ve heard it all before.”
“We’ll talk about it after the meal.”
“LIGHTS OUT AT 10 P.M.”
Quiet hours are from 10-7
In my mind I am quiet
And go along with the wishes in my brain
7AM
They don’t believe me.
I’m fucking normal!
I try to tell them… those with the prejudicial glances
And they say I’ll stay
With a Look of Dismay,
I think to escape
“Look at me when I’m talking to you.
Watch my mouth fucking move and shape the words I say.”
What do you see?
“Do what I mean, not what I SAY”
Contradiction.
It’s vacation time buddy,
You’re going nowhere but inside
It’s vacation time pal
With nowhere to hide.
Virgin
The blur of the night before
Flash of a memory sparks a return
It started off casually,
Driving west, chasing the Dusky sun
A vision unknown, undiscovered city
Virgin I was to your streets
Lured, Seduced by the essence
Of your darkest alleys
As I walked, my
I began to see, with clarity
The truth behind the scenes
Highway Robbery
My Lightning Love
Flash my night to day
Split-second thoughts
Here’s what I’ve gotta say:
You are my instrument
I’ll become your virtuoso
Living through our life
Loving as our muse
Making it- our art.
You are my masterpiece
Create yourself to me
Starting in the dead of winter
We’ve seen the light of spring
Feeling the heat of summer
I wish to taste the change to fall
And return to the warmth,
Come in from the winters chill
From now till the ever
I hope we see this change together
Let me see you bloom before my eyes
Allow me to experience your spring
Again and again, until I die
When I do,
To Feed my starving eyes
With a vision of you
When you come through the door
And I look to the floor
I think to myself: How was your day?
When we’re at home
And we’re all alone
You look at the wall
And think to yourself:
This thing isn’t working at all
What’s gonna happen,
When your face of Love (is long-lost)
Turns to a face of Life?
Hey! Come here
Can you hear what I say?
Please just go far away
When I see you in my thoughts and dreams
I want you outta my Space
And in YOUR place
Cause I’ve gotta move on
Get on w/ my life
And you’re not included
In what I think is right
I may sound like a mother
But admit the truth
We’re not right w/ each other
You’ve got nothing to prove
On the contrary for me
So simple can’t you see,
Gotta try to be better than he
