Fish

New Orleans

Is it a fish-tank of disgust?
better left to hold water 
than you and us
Should the walls stay down below the line
let bodies fester 
rampant crime?
Cross on corral houses those who remain
trapped in their own shelter
left to die in vain?
Or will the walls be squeegeed clean
for all the world to love
obscene 
trouble is rising from the ashes aint easy
especially for the big eazzyy
he who is helped
must plaster on a greazzzy 
clown mask

Iron Chains of Light

I lay here lost in the Dark
Big Man Barking 
Talking his Big ole...Talk

What to believe When Kin
Shaded as they Are
Say... Boy Follow us!! or Sin Sin

What to Believe When Friends
Trusted as they Are
Say...Brother follow me!! or End End 

Optimism ain't the lingo in my present
negativity is nurtured
giving off that all deadly...discontent 

Thoughts cry out my mind for a way out
pierce my brain 
Show me the way... follow my desperate Shout

Please oh Please
Beg as I will
Send out this final Thought I will 

A message to whoever cares to save and listen 
Throw Down Your Iron Chains of Sunlight
Answer my prayers 
My Thoughts 
And Make this dull World GLISTEN

Heat

Take my hand in lovers charm
hold me tight squeeze my arm 
Take my heart and spool my yarn
we all know
sweaters are best made with love

Crackle goes the fireplace
a furnace such a lovely place
simmer through that gentle lace
we all know
flames are best made with love

Burning through the room so deep
reflecting from that soul to keep
just take with me that lovers leap
we all know
lovers leaps are best made with love

Smell of burning air abounds
no longer does the ear hear sounds
the cherub makes his nightly rounds
we all know
A cherub is best made with love

Sing to me your gentle song
your voice to me is never wrong
A sweet note I haven't heard in so long
we all know
Notes are best made with love

You have me now in your gaze
I look at you but slight a glaze
My senses gone I'm in a craze 
we all know
Passion..has... its... limits
