“…Let the sunshine (and let the sun shine on in)
Let the sunshine in (You got to open up your heart)…"
-- From Aquarius, by The 5th Dimension


The times they were a-changing,
an age of great unrest.
A Ball of Confusion raging,
divisive with protest.

The Moon was in the seventh...

Not only is he my friend;
He’s the Mayor of my hometown.
His eyes oversee the place,
That I so love to be around.

Whether it’s canvas or a page,
He graces it with artistic hands.
Bringing out his desired emotions,
That his patient heart commands.

With a love for teaching art,
His creative...

Aha - argh... oh my dog...

Earlier today (May 5th, 2020),
I forget thee exact hour
found me utterly beside mice elf,
matter of fact even at this moment,
yours truly doth feel mad at himself
cuz Aldi's merchandise (mostly food)
needed to be restored to their proper...

I use to stay hungry, would eat a healthy portion of meat. Still I felt incomplete, I was destined to repeat until I heard of Spiritual Meat.

Meat very good to eat, it's nourishment to the bones and can be a real treat even sweet. But...

Daddy's specter plectrums mercilessly
Fraying my nerves raw
with oxidized guitar strings.
my thoughts relentlessly hemorrhage
onto clay vinyl grooves
s p i n n i n g
endless nights
of
suffocation.

a midnight jazz wail
lacerates
the void of your absence.
notes gnaw through bone marrow
ravenous maggots
in the corpse
of our love.

Chords violently crash
splintering my fractured vertebrae

 They illuminate the muse giving it that zeal
 Their gleams have a magical feel
 Enchanting us with glowing appeal

 They are loved by all across the board
 Lighting up the imagination, wonderfully adored
 Spreading their glows in joyous accord

 Awesome little insects generating micro...

We set the dials
The men in white
To send our agent 
To the light

Switches click
Red glowing lamps
And needles swing
To show the amps

The clock it winds
As time descends
From present day
To make amends

A tweak to fate
A gentle nudge
When current outcomes
Fail to budge

To set things straight
To fix the error
And...

Anticipation,
faces sparkling,
wrinkles smiling,
memories at the ready.

Friends inter-mingling, while great grandchildren run through the gathering crowd.
Sun streaking through branches, warming joints, and turned up faces seeking the rare appearance of the coastal sun.

The growing color of gray cropped heads blot out the distant green scape as...

I am an Electrical Engineer
But was alone and all was dark
Beneath me and above
My life was full of volts and amps
But not the spark of your love
So will you be the start of my sinusoid?

Dawn in the twilight
With you am on a flight
Your feelings I...

What turns me on
and amps my juice?
It's physical work,
with no excuse.

Muscles will ache,
I'll work up a sweat.
Dirt under my nails,
some Band-Aids, you bet.

Dig right in
and get'er done.
Step back and enjoy,
the pride I have won.

For the contest; What Turns You On
sponsored by Frank H....

To the legendary teacher I pay tribute
For imparting live voices to the mute
You paid gratitude
To the multitude
On the mountain top you stood
And all the heads understood
You never said ‘Never’
As admired in Geneva;
Tremendous work for real
Remains in me a thrill!

You explored the world
Left in me a...

If you could see, the inside of me
What would you view, that you would want to see
For inside of me for any given year
Is loaded with music, it's my driven steer

Whether it's Rock with Deep Purple
Or Wish You Were Here with Pink Floyd
Inside my head
Music...

Best be those who mind their tees and traps
for a green man lurks in the swamps
wanting to win over the lives of the tramps
mucking their way to rev up the amps.

Life costs plenty true and to be sure
so a pot of gold is good as...
