Oh look kids

Before After

Sit, think, expand, idea, create
Numb, sit, mellow, wait
Relax, refocus, rewind
Zone in, zone out, never mind
Think once, think twice, think again
Capture, record, back up, forget
Relative, important, prioritized
Lazy, shut in, unconcerned

Chasing

How do you spend your life?
Chasing the next high
You know it won’t be found
That well has run dry

Need and desperation
Are the voids you fill?
Self medicating
Crushing your will

Be it on substance or lights
Or things that go whirr
Part of the need that you crave
Is the upset you stir?

Crisis abound
Abundant and clear
All this commotion
To mask off your fear

The lesson you find
May not be what you seek
You can’t be too choosy
When your future looks bleak

The life that you waste
May it be only your own?
But we all know
You’ll wreck many a home

So chase all your highs
Throw your dreams in a ditch
For life’s what you make it
And that is a bitch.

Throwin Stones

When I was young
not yet on my own
I used to spend time
on shore throwing stones

Searching the edge
For stones that were flat
Smooth to the touch
Fit precise in your hand

I’d gather a bunch
Then find a good place
And I’d throw and I’d throw
Til sweat drip off my face

Counting each skip
Trying for more
Working the angle
Raising the score

Weekends were the best
Spent down by the river
Swimming all day
Til I had blue lips and a shiver

Found me a place
Twas safe from harm
A place for just me
A place that was warm

Sitting on the bridge
Short climb to the top
Although it’s illegal
It’s hidden from the cops

Now I’m not young
But I’m long on my own
I sure miss my time
On shore throwing stones

The Price of Punishment

I want to write to you
tell you how I feel
but I'm afraid
the words will make it real

I think you will get angry
and then things will get worse
but the silence is deafening
in my private curse

If we are really quiet
and we all pretend
the anger won't go away
the broken hearts won't mend

I am sorry to have hurt you
I am sorry you are down
I'm sorry I can't be more
I'm sorry I make you frown

My heart aches for you
more than my fractures ever did
I ache for what I can't have
I ache for what I did

I'll pay the price of punishment
til I can't pay any more
I ask for your forgiveness
If it is something you can afford

Ode to the one I love

You make me Sweat,
You make me grin.
You fill my mind,
With thoughts of Sin!

You make my neck hairs,
Stand upright.
You whet my,
Carnal appetite.

You make me breathe
Erratically,
You make my innards
fill with glee


You make me feel
Complete and whole,
You make my Hormones
Lose control.

Too Fore

Love is - the look on my face
When our eyes first met
Love is - keeping your things
Taking your puppy as a pet

Love is - eating fungus spores
& coming to see the new place
Love is - counting stars
& a big fall losing you the race

Love is - kissing on the tour
But we didn’t know that yet
Love is - alcohol and wine skins
& acts we’ll never forget

Love is - when you hold me
Arms wrapped around me tight
Love is - when you scold me
Or we have a fight

Love is - when you touch me
Just to show you care
Love is - when I think of you
Just knowing that your there

What about me

Do something nice for others
The kindness will be returned
That is a far cry from truth
As I have finally learned

The more you give the more they take
until less of you remains
a never ending cycle
and I cant stop the train

It’s not a call for pity
Just a cold hard fact
For sometimes in life
We get exactly what we ask

Be a lil demanding
Ask for all you wish
Before you grow old an lonely
As it hurts to feel like this

Yankee Stadium

There was a girl whose name was Bo
Off to the Stadium she did go
Plane, trains and automobiles
Skipping work, missing meals
Travel cross country 2400 miles
Creating memories, making smiles
On the subway to Times Square
The smell of urine filled the air
Trash stacked up in the street
Vendors selling mystery meat
Souvenirs too many to buy
Cops have stations in the sky
A New York cabbie got her lost
You would not believe the cost
Now she’s home safe and sound
Forever changed, forever bound!

Most of us have foollish ideas about who we are and many many rigid rules about how life ought to be lived

Candle wish

Let’s dish
Birthday wish
Moon lit
Throbbing bits
Vampire kissed
Morning bliss
Weakened knees
Begging please
After dark
al e’ carte
Afterglow
Late night show
Breaking dawn
Race is on
Rising sun
Almost done
Just right
Out of sight
Never part
Melted hearts
Broken thumb
More to come

The Demons

The demons will consume you
if they're left un-fed

Starving them won't kill them
they'll suck the brain outa your head

They make you act all crazy
and treat the others unkind

Some say demons don't exist
that they're only in your mind

My mind's the biggest problem
it takes over when I sleep

I try to shut it off
but the pain just runs too deep

Make friends with your demons
it's the only way

Then if you get lonely
you'll have a friend to play

Alone

Alone,
Empty inside.
Scared,
Along for the ride.
Sad,
Like something had died.
Hurt,
In pain she cried.
Alone,
Empty inside.
