Not Quite Right

I hate myself!
To bad tomorrow
Doesn’t reimburse the moonlight…

Regretting fear
Overcome with truth
Destiny obtained
Big people
Small world
For any youth

Trying to make something shine
Like buffing an old car
Waxing it just right
Coming inside
It’s Jesus Christ!

Sin forgiven
Never forgot
I’m just a pawn
In this wild chess game…

My white knight
Once so clear
Now I talk behind her back
What was once white
Is now black!

So my eyes
Remain red
As nights go by...
She comes over
We have a good time

Green with Red

It’s hard to be one’s self
When one is wrong….
Self indictment
Self Predicament
Still Strong.
Fruitless;
To grasp innocence
When the bowel is gone
Falling like crabapples
The season is done…
To remember;
Sunday donuts
Ode to naïve ignorance
Gone
Time is essence
Time goes on.
Bells ring
Maybe not loud enough
Green and red
The holiday season bleeds;
Forced materialism,
Forced happiness
Alas, be happy…
And break into your own song

Flame

We’re ready to burn
Time to take the leap
It’s all over
But at least we will burn together

The shadow casts
I light the flame
Tossing myself in
To the sinners game

Time to fall
The world is gone
Love lost
Love, What’s Wrong?

The essence of life
Is fire
I’m the sword
The dragon slayer
Cling to my words

Killing to save,
Your killing me
Saving yourself
Careless…

My blade rises
Taking my time
Painting the image
Words to live by

Let me be
On your eager soul
I would invigorate the unknown
Finding the truth
The flame that devours

Calypso

Stars collide
Not you and I
My heart pounds
This is what I realize…

I watch over you
As Christ watches over me,
You ripped my heart out--
Calypso, drowning your sorrows--
cannot set you free.

Expect--
No condolences…
Receive only shame
Look deep inside,
Who’s to blame?

Your words, Your actions
Set yourself apart
Doomed for eternity,
Calypso? Where is my heart?


Forced to accept,
A world so bright!
The sun is radiant
But we are the night.

As I wash to the shore,
The moon looks down,
You wear your skin…
No words, caressing thoughts-
Caressing sounds…

Heart sought,
Never found,
Saturated by you…
I drowned.

Dream(Part II)

The wet sand
Melting in the wake of dawn
The slender breeze
The hesitation
As the tide rolls generously—
The breath of nuance…
As like waves
You come crashing down upon me—
The water rises
Touching toes—
The world has no worries
The sky shimmers
The sun settling in…
Just warming up
The first pitch…
As seaweed entangles
Stopping time
The secluded cove-

Put it down

Lost!
Lost at sea;
Come now,
Put it down,
Put it down with me…

She doesn’t know
Her doing
Her first time
Overboard…
Legally illegitimate,
Still a Crime.

So please;
Put it down.
Face your lows;
My flower,
My rose.

You have no need,
To drowned sorrow
Do you understand the consequence?

To live life…
Full of regrets,
Forfeit emotions,
Use logic,
Your too smart
Use your big head!

I don’t resonate anger,
Because of all people
I understand the game;
I go hard,
So I cut off
The sound of others names…

Just to hear my own
I can walk alone,
So come…
Head out to sea,
And…
Put it down,
Put it down with me.

(Changed Man, First Draft)

Star bright,
Star light,
Which star am I going home with tonight?

Short skirt
Soft lips
Scandalous
Shaking hips…

Innocence lost—
Replaced by a blend so new!
Drunken slut
The whore’s brew…

Given control
Of her situation,
She is taken advantage of,
Let me give you a demonstration…

I lead her away
A grin crossing my chin
I know how to handle
The girl in my face…


Or maybe I’m the better man,
So…
I take her back to her friends
No story for tomorrow
But a good man within…
