If all else fails
Wear a stupid grin
Smile so big
You let the sunshine in
Darkness only when
I close my eyes
Drowning in
A hawaian sunrise
Its a big suprise
When you realize
You are
All that surounds you
Hold inside
Your soul to hide
And we can be
Forever
Shadows of the street form friction
In two bit hollow hotel rooms
While the vacancy light
Flickers
On the street a homeless person
Shivers into a bottle
once a child and inocent
Now judged and guilty
In the cracks in the pavement
Grass is growing
Around the fire hydrant
Even the tree’s are in cages
The sidewalk launces you
Into new realitys
One face a second
Traveling at the speed
Of [...]
This is life at 175 decibels
my ear drums quake
as I wobble
around ex-patriots
of every sub culture
addicted to the bass
a thirst for that taste
of truth
fornicating our own fiction
post apocalyptic beauty
in a tiny death
draw a deep breath
life is excess
and explosive
been up against
the ropes so long
I start to own it
and the dark souls
swirl in an orgy
of chaos
individual
to the optics
your [...]
Sad songs
Soft whispers
In search
Of a papable heart
Spring sprung
Out of a sputtering
Winter
Leaving me stuttering
Filling in the blank space
With words
Burning memories for warmth
Planting flowers
Inside my corpse
Growing violently
Upwards towards
The sun
Comming up short
Leaving
Air and opertunity
Fecundating
Spilling seeds
Cyclical
And its a picnic
Not money , cars and cavier
Desires are matchsticks
The light anywhere kind
I flick one
Off the heal of my boot
It doesn’t react
So I [...]
I have grown from the basements
blossoming flowers
in window shutter boxes
the sun has come in
slowly
and I sit for days
contemplating my own skull
and the useless
interior
that makes up the space
between my body
all of it
I will never understand
waiting for the ships to come in
I turn a rejection letter in my hand
this does not grant me passage
but I don’t wish [...]
Here I am on the back porch
Dreaming again, always dreaming
Its a lucid ocean with just
enough bubbles to breath
Playing all fifty two cards
I thought it was hearts
And they all call rummy
Its warmer indoors these days
So I sleep because I am dreaming again
And I always remember just enough
to forget
The sky is forever blue
And we wonder
What to make [...]
Caught between time and transit
She tries to muse the ghost
Out of sage like banter
We both belived love was a cancer
Cookie cut
Like plot lines in smut
We are gluttens for punishment
Being ever so full
On humble pie
Now wiping the dirt from my eye
She tells me to take what’s mine
And its trials and tribulations
With no congradulations
Or even a heaven [...]
Lunch time in garland
Judy and her red shoes are gone
Now angels want to wear them
Till the souls are flat
And the heel has worn down
The tin man would frown
If he didn’t pawn his heart
The lion still wasn’t brave enough
To save any of us
If I had a brain
Instead of a match in my hand
I could make you [...]
The crows want me to write a poem
So I abide
When the moutains colide the land
We will be at the bottom of the quick sand
Our sentiments are now sediments
And we return home
Its where the heart is
Hidden behind the tight grasps of rib cages
Hidden between the verse of my odd thoughts
All the forget-me-knots grew taught
Till there grip [...]
And the whole world passes you by.
In the blink of an eye
The pulsaiting veins
Drone to a painfull rythm
We ask to be forgiven
From the stars
And dive bars
Sad creatures
Paste smiles
Above push up bra’s
Fake tits
And vagabond scars
And she swears I’m diffrent
From the mix of our perfume
So I lift her, pull her from the rubble
All this trouble for a [...]
