Collecting fresh faced girls with monogrammed asses Spending the morning listening to the Blues An old soul within that youthful mindframe Toe tapping, blackout shades & misleading tattoos
I begin to think I’m the one lured But all we have between us is coffee stained mug rings Embrace the possibilities of the moment Join in the beauty of desperate sorrow of BB King
This day is such a sunny tease Through passion, we become another bedpost notch A memory Today will keep for all posterity As she makes me taste the glories of her vagazzeled crotch
I trace your lips with my finger Such pouty perfection in this face I want to devour you right here But in public is not the proper place So I whisper one word: “tonight” & let you think upon that all day You’ll stew & simmer & imagine How all this love will be conveyed
Dodging trains with the Lost Boys Feeling free in the midnight hour Nothing can keep us on the ground Laughing in faces of those who wish us dour Freedom begins with your own soul No matter the toilsome tasks or nautical miles I’ll smirk & continue to play For there’s a revolution within my smile
This is life. This is reality.
When the pretty words drip away
When the party’s over
You’ve still got to wake & face the day
Digital lovers lavish heaps of praise
Complimenting you on your magnificent blog
While you neglect the physical world
Always remember that pain & loneliness are analog
Finding the energy to jump up To start the day in the sunshine Collecting smiles from fresh faces & always returning to the love that’s mine
Pouring another coffee to revive my soul The blacker the better; deeper than the sea Knowing secrets which youth will always deny That happiness is real & it’s forever free
Nonsense & miscalculations they always spew For they see glitter & everything they never tried But experience will tell you simple is better & anything worth fighting for is kept on the inside
Jesus was a rouge agent Calling out institutions woefully unjust Up-ending currents & the status quo Powers that be & reigning corporate trusts
Holding fast in the face of arbitrary traditions We won’t look to long at your offbeat proclivities Unnerved authenticity & outspoken truth But they’ll chalk it up as additional incivility
Looking again to God, but knowing She won’t talk Red-lettered honesty; realism against expectation Unvarnished tales of the meekest souls Rapt against our most quietly brave ministrations
Men are the root of most of our evils Blatantly sucking out the formidable joys Loud & egotistically neutering themselves They can’t help but systematically destroy
Yet, we’re told of the biblical herrings But we must reject any & all hate In the face of most adversities We still have women who manage to create
I’m the footnote to your memory Everyone will remember how you touched their soul I’m just the quiet guy in the background Working hard to help make your vision whole
I’m not the one to be seen nor heard But to fade away when they extinguish the lights Forgotten once the dream falls to recess Sealed once we find our departing flights
I never wished to distract from you I humbly serve your silent grace No aim to conjure something more Merely to bask in beautiful refraction of your face
“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor… Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.”
–Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Finding ourselves locked in a torrent Quietly dreaming of a harder way Searching for the proper inspiration Perhaps I’ll have something intelligent to say
I’m just a local loser with unlimited potential Most will note my life has been an utter waste Mocked & forgotten since you dismiss my face In retrospect- you pine for my notion once you got a taste
Sitting at the windowsill Fingers stained by my ink Face red & tranquilly humbled Cold & tumbled; too frozen to think
The nights are dropping temps I’ll need to do everything to keep warm Though I’m unwrapping each layer Eagerly embracing your gracious form
Life is a fine chance to love you Trading kisses as I adjust your weary crown Telling stories of our younger days & the magic that happened in a little Arizona town
Falling in love every morning
Reminders of the Lord’s perfect grace
A partner in this shared existence
Let me look upon your slumbering face
Slipping from the warmth of our bed
To chronicle the inspiration found in the night
Regeneration of unbridled passion
Earnestly dedicating these words that I now write
Upon awaking I find my face littered with pixie dust With no possibilities of faking I’ve been visiting paradise, I trust
Off chasing adventure in the streams & you thought I fell asleep on my book Neverland is not only in my dreams But these scars caused clearly by a hook
Dimples; the marks of the fairies
Their love touched upon the very faces
Chosen to endure above the others
Dimmed, but remaining vague traces
Magic’s residue upon your life
Nature knowing what is true
Selected to be special
Out of all the woods, they settled upon you
The molten life-sustaining elixir
Down the gullet another cup is poured
Pitch black; the only way to drink
An awakening that just won’t be ignored
Stretching my arms into the morning
Reaching to take the sun in my embrace
Another sip; life will be mine
Success is surviving; sunshine on your face
Setting down the glass Saying excuse me, dear Wanting to focus Making sure what I hear Each word considered Looking deep into your face But I forget them all When you’re only wearing lace
Aviation exhaust & diesel fumes Hands, face & soul; covered in grime Expectations placed firmly I’ll relax when we have the time Wandering this lonely vessel Before passageway lights go red Slowly searching these oceans When I’d rather be with you instead
