beneath a weeping willow

Topless
We were young and full of adventure
Travelling in our kombi van
Burning incense and listening
To Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan
We decided to climb a tourist peak
Slowly making it to the top
Going down was easier
Though there...

Fury For The Masses VI
Fury for the masses
neon pulses bleed into the damp air
screens flicker
frantic fireflies
spitting chaos
into living rooms, void!
Each pixel is a distant mind bomb
echoes of sirens shatter the night.
Feel the heart of asphalt jungles
where skyscrapers...

Fury for the masses: God KingWe've tipped the scale,
Crossed the line,
flags droop and fail.
Fury for the masses…
Nine's almost here,
Lost our minds,
consumed by fear?
I'm a ghost in my own street,
The faces I trusted,
they're...

Prisoner Of Poetry
Alphabets gather as words unravel
the passing and returning of moans;
lines of phrases inflame the arteries
of beauty, angst, love interwoven

The Boy With The Cardboard HeartWhen you have nobody
you have somebody and
that somebody is
yourself.
Because you’re
all you’ve got.
So why need
anybody?
Anybody being nobody.
Nobody being somebody.
Somebody being anybody.
Somebody. Somebody. Somebody.
Nobody. Nobody....

Steeped In HurtShadows of yesterday
eclipse reality.
But in hope lies my dreams;
where I am free of doubt.
Love's ethereal touch;
manipulates pleasure.
And always seeking more;
fledgling feelings take wing.
Desire morphs into lust;
untethered to your heart.
And love's consigned to dreams;
whenever doubt wins...

McDougal's Irish Accent
McDugal, the Leprechaun is a gent
Mick's wife always says he was Heaven sent
He shows respect to women
In their praises he's swimmin'
They love hearin' his Irish brogue accent...

The Enemy WithinThe unseen ache,
the hollow feeling of being unseen.
To loathe each fragment of yourself,
a puzzle with no hands to mend it.
Like shattered glass filled to the brim,
spilling, cracking, never whole.
Distraction is a bandage too thin,
but the...

Treehouse
In the great Old Grove forests
Perry, Sayva, Diamond, and Jack
Went out and built this tree house
A fine little tree house
It had a ladder, it had a few windows
It had a little garden they built
The garden...

Time's CallingTic Tok, days are numbered before death
Clock counting each second of breath
From sun up to moonlight chill of the air
Constant schedule to survive life's drama
Beep, beep, beep, time's calling wake up...
