In memory of----

Solely in my room, I can't stomach the sound of my pulse
I sit here alone to forget the taste of air.
Overwhelm by the scene -unbelievable footage
18 seconds  long, "I can't breathe."
My judgment "GONE"   stressing all night long
I use to fear...

In memory of---- all lives taken by unfair justice.

 Solely in my room, I can't stomach the sound of my pulse
 I sit here alone to forget the taste of air
Deluge by the scenery - unbelievable footage 18 seconds long,  
Eric Garner GONE... ...

Please take this time to steer your thoughts
To a wretched land of lochs and glens.
Where a village was tasked and the people fraught
At the woe and sadness life could send.

With the Dragons gone and the Trolls dispersed
The villagers were still gloomy and depressed.
As they were...

The Playbill for the 9/8/01 show at Godspeed Opera House falls from my  palm to the floor. Here I sit, with a drugged hangover but alive. The last thing I remember is a suicide note in the Underwood typewriter on my desk, beside an...

The Play Bill for the Godspeed Opera House fell from my sweaty palm to the floor. 9/08/01. I’m still alive; it’s a miracle. Pushing my bifocals back, I frown. I can’t remember anything after arriving at 11pm.? A cell phone rings. I stumble toward the...

The Play Bill falls from my sweaty palm to the floor
September 8, 2001 and I'm still alive; it's a miracle.
Pushing my bifocals back up my nose, I frown.
I can't remember the play at all?

A cell phone rings. I stumble toward the closed doors.
Bending over, I'm...

Contn'd from Pg 1

So she called out to the stranger and asked for a ride
Snow had fallen heavily and already piled three feet high
When she climbed into the four-wheel truck never giving it another thought
Before he headed down the highway, he went into a crowded...

No dove coos, the sun
sleeps below morn's horizon....
family rises

animals still sleep
old man gets upon his feet....
scent of bacon floats

coffee's aroma 
wafts upon darkened cold room....
computer alive 

buttered toast awaits
time to lie in the warm sun....
breakfast eaten soon

dogs stand by her chair
begging for some bites of...

I knew I loved you, I knew I always did, I loved you then,
Every day of then, so much I’d lay down to die.
We had a rainbow, navigating this Earth, 
A spectacular, impossible rainbow filling our sky.

I loved you when you tackled my heart, grappled...

The campfire crackled
As old friends tackled
The problems of the day

The problems weren’t solved
But everyone involved
Felt they had melted away...

Rugby, what a beautiful and passionate game
Its not about money, fashion or fame.
Invented one day by a guy named Webb
How do go "I have a game to play"? 

A war that's fought on a muddy field
They'll give their last breath to insure victory is sealed.
The...

In the world of masters and slaves
There were species of great kind reunited
Conversation never ends until late dawn
Time filled with laughs, smiles and wisdom shared.

Connection has no beginning nor end only sparks
Everything was validated since things were immemorial
Uttered words flown, and rippled in every tic...

Playing soccer as kids for their very first time,
he only five and she just turned six.
She simply looks his way,
and the ball is passed without any tricks.

The other lads look on in disbelief,
as the passes are abundant.
Not a word between them, just quick looks and...

It was snowing, and in the middle of a great big storm… as… 
Another storm raged on, inside our dear, sweet little Dragon,
His penguins so care free, were now chasing after, you see…
The great Dragon Country Western Singer and Star, ‘Drago’!

Yep, they wanted autographs from...

You give into peer pressure and hesitantly cut class, 
So you can smoke cancer sticks and,
Get high in the school bathroom with, 
Five other boys that are your so called friends,
A security guard smells the cigarette smoke and, 
Chases you out of the bathroom and...
