He assembled in darkness the corroded horn
by familiarity and sense of touch.
Then cast as thunder into the empty night
long tones void of musical melody.
Sustained tones, fierce and woeful
in succession paraded the street.
Each note precisely chosen, unfurled
and carried aloft in chilly air.
The flickering street lamp understood
as...

Ravaged and forgotten, I await my fate in this junkyard,
Under the fierce sun and pouring rain and snow . . . but,
Still within this rusted frame beats a soul and memories, and
There was a time when I was truly loved-
Every person admired my style and...

Today, upon the ground, I found a rusted nail.
Red and yellowed since its use,
It was caked and swollen; cracked lines top to bottom
With one turn in its body where last it was removed.
And the head was tilted slightly from a blow
Received when it was first...

For something that used to run so well, 
It looks as useless as anything else sitting rusted.
If it would’ve kept working, everything would be swell,
But it sat around, so everything is busted.
Anything rusted is worthless,
even a Corvette.
Will the wicked Hot rod run again?
It’d be a...

Rusted blood, a shot-put heft
Is shot from chamber's side
What treasure stores are in my chest?
What stores can heart-valves hide?...

A rusted key has broken ---
It's trapped inside a lock ---
Because the metal of it's being,
has simply lost it's stock ---
No amount of blasphemy 
or acting quite demented ---
Will repair this fractured relic ---
Any more then the hypocrite, 
who prays to be repented....

Sinful Rusted Red Firebird

Sometimes I think back to those years
I wish I had been just a bit older
Nobody notices a fourteen year old boy
Funny though, I noticed everything
Under her paisley top she didn't wear a bra
Long blond hair flowing out the car window

Robert took her...

The Magical Epiphany of an Old Rusted Can

whilst out hiking one day in a countryside area
that was quite desolate and remote from any nearby
city, I discovered, amazingly, an Old Rusted Can
that was at least two-liter-sized and was partially-buried
in a long dried-out river bed in the...

The wind is all I've got now
Careless glimpses without heed
Burrow deep into the crowds
Like staggering footsteps
On the lonely coasts,
That had never been treaded on before..
Waves like strangers 
Wash them away,
And so I wonder, why? where?

The safest place for my soul,
By the furious ocean,
Horizon sings to...

IN My days of school I remember what my teacher has said,,

 "Pray for them as for you."
 "Think for them as for you."
 "Wish for them as for you."
 "Feel for them as for you."
 
I Remember aswell what he said,thereafter:
 "There is HEREAFTER"

Thousands of cars, now junk to their owners are dumped
Here every vehicle has a story, why they are abandoned
Elegant was I, silver rims, stylish lights and painted white

Silenced for life, now my rusted body remains on ground 
Careless driving changed my fate and left me...
