Price of PerfectionThe price of perfection,
And the recent deduction,
To keep up the function,
And become a swan,
To show a sanction,
Have dedication,
To the craft of perfection,
And the show of intention,
Following the row,
And strengthen the bow,
To keep up the fact,
To disarm the pact,
And keep the show,
To what you already know,
To remember that the price,
Is in suffice,
To show what you do,
And...

Two Differing OpinionsHe’s a little barbaric Joey said, he does not tell me much
He was talking about our new neighbor, name of Dutch
Many said he was a so and so and a such and such
But today he helped me move a dresser and a China hutch
He is vulgar and common, another snippety neighbor said
That will not change...

gorgeous hula girlsGorgeous hula girls began throwing leis our way
The second we got off Plane Honolulu that day
We found these exquisite creatures every where
Dancing in celebration that we were there
Do you think they are all related? Asked my man
I could see he was truly an appreciative fan
A lei is a symbol offering friendship, love, a greeting
We saw...

sloth tries on running shoesThe sloth tried on all the running shoes in the store.
Brand new clerk on commission’s heart gave a soar.
She did not realize that sloth does this every day.
But never buys a shoe, for running is not his way.
He does it because he loved the colors, said her boss.
If my supervisor would let me, I would...

The Snakes in a field of Green
I inhale deeply, take the first step with desire in my soul to grow
to be the seed replanted in the soil to receive Vitamin D from Father Sun
I wanna be free, but I know I cannot fear living
just because I breathe out my nostrils and out my mouth.
I still hunger and desire for more for...

The Page That Listens, But Never HerEveryone reads what I write,
Except the one it’s meant for.
She never do.
She never will.
And I ask myself,
Do these words mean anything,
Or are they just a lullaby
For a heart that forgot how to sleep?
Maybe I write to lie,
To pretend silence was a choice,
Not a sentence carved into me.
I stitched my mouth shut
With thread made of shame,
The...

Something wrong“There's something wrong with you”,
They say as I watch the women's sports,
“There’s something wrong with you”,
They say as I am engrossed by the girls walking in front of me,
“There’s something wrong with you”,
They say after I kiss a girl,
“There’s something wrong with you”,
They say to when I don’t wear a dress to the...

The voicemailHey,
It’s me,
I've been thinking a lot lately,
Do you ever wonder,
Why do we want to know when,
When we could just let go and forget,
Did you ever care,
Or do you even know what game you played,
But you shut me out,
Do I mean something to you,
Or was I just a stone to step on to cross the river,
So...

The Prismatic SelfI write my soul in ink on paper,
My skin is stripped away,
Blood replaced with ink that flows through my veins,
Defences shattered and the visage of lies is broken,
My mask is taken from my hand and replaced with a pen,
I don’t have to hide my feelings,
Feelings that are so destructive they must stay hidden,
Hidden from those...

If that oak tree fallsOf that oak tree falls, I may soon be dead.
I stared in disbelief at my cousin Zed.
Why do you have this weird feeling of dread?
He shrugged his shoulders, eating mom’s shortbread.
Sometimes Zed gets weird thoughts into his head.
Why can’t he keep them to himself instead?...

Glowing with glimmers and glimpses of glorification
Generating generous gentlewoman’s grateful glances

LillianSome people leave in storms
With their last words being harshest
Some people don't have to say a thing
You know you've already lost them
In fact they intentionally say nothing
They go out like a ghost
I wish I could've stayed but it's not my fault
You chose what you stood against
You lost the war to evil
You stood against smoke and...

The StageThe Stage,
The blueprint of consciousness,
A Labyrinth left within this,
Molecular living witness.
Atoms are energy in this existence,
Building a world in the present tense.
Every moment a new experience,
A chance to dance in the performance.
Growing entities sensing change,
Reality starts to Rearrange.
As we make the energy exchange.
The blueprint is looking strange,
It's designed to seem deranged,
It's...

Describing his Cousin BumpA squab, a squid, a squishy stump
A troll, a gnome, a stick, a chump
How else to describe my cousin Bump?
You see, he also is a bit of a chump...

Why is Fred MissingCollecting collateral fuzzy Fred said
Keeping the secret of his co-worker Ned
Ned was unconcerned, he paid the money
Fred is missing, reported his live-in Honey
This man has not been found since ‘84
Ned is relieved, he’s not been extorted anymore...
