Frogs in HeavenIf I ever find my mind in a sermon from heaven
Or ever blind as a frog in a broken earthen oven
I’d hop my hump back down to earth
And yawp my stump for a crown of worth
Real heaven can exist in the commotion of a threshold
Reckon, if you can, and resist the...

Hairy FreedomMy hair is wild, as wild as can be.
It sticks out in all sorts of places,
It goes through many fits and stages,
You can’t imagine the myriad of gazes!
I have curls to a large degree.
They won’t listen to my plea.
My hair demands to be free....

Weight of the Lonliness
I sit alone, the room is still,
No laughs, no joy at all .
The clock ticks loud, the night feels long,
I hum a tune, a wordless song.
I walk outside, the streets are bare,
The stars above don’t seem to care.
I wave at shadows, talk to air,
But no one’s here, and no one’s there.
The phone is quiet, the...

InvisibleInfinite world, my only escape.
Infinite world, the life I hate.
My hand is cramping as I write.
But I don’t care. I still fight.
The lead is scraping paper thin,
Slicing air with every spin.
Infinite world, my one place.
Infinite world, my only safe space.
My pencil was once unused,
Unmarked, clean, and unbruised.
My hand was once unsure,
Quiet, soft, and insecure.
Not that...

Penitentiary Clowns
The warden's dog steals every snack,
The inmates plot to get them back.
A daring heist for honey buns,
'Til Fluffy wins, and off he runs!
The gym’s a war of flexing might,
Larry claims he’s built for flight.
He jumps, he flaps, he hits the ground,
The...

For The Story - Drivers
Calling all drivers,
does your car go in reverse?
Why are you over the parking line?
I cannot get into my car,
now waiting until you are done shopping.
For weeks,
it has been happening.
Put your car in reverse and park straight,
or leave your car home where it belongs....

I was crazy enough to give her a daisyI was crazy enough to give her a daisy
Well, a bunch of daisies
Purchased on a whim
Y’know, hey she might like these
Not knowing the power of the devilish daisies
I muttered something like
“I kinda thought ya might like these”
Not sure how the Daisies did it
But they spun a gossamer web
Whispered in a quiet scent
You are crazy enough...

Is it Me?To this day everyday,
I ask: is it the devil and God
Fighting for my soul
Or is it my mind sliding left or right?
Hurricane erupt from every thought
Or is it every illusion?
Maybe a challenge of with
Or a chess game predestined?
I ask and pray
And I fail and fail.
A bastard to be sure,
But why...

Mi Vida LocaI wake up swinging, fists in the air,
Wrestling my dreams like they just don’t care.
Life’s a rodeo, I hold on tight,
Riding chaos like a bull in flight.

The ghetto’s my kingdom, the concrete's my throne,
Dodging pigeons like they're throwing stones.
Sirens sing me lullabies at...

Cured Of My Sillies
Enough of this silliness, this one's more serious
What am I saying, I'm becoming delirious
Best see a doctor, got a strange kind of malady
Hope it's not going to affect my mortality
Now let's not be silly, it's just a wee glitch
Be back with the sillies, though I'm starting to twitch
What if my serious side has turned off...

The Day My Friends Went Insane
They were my gentile friends, ones I could count on
They stood by me when times were tough
A pep talk here, a couch to sleep on there
They kept me from falling through cracks
Year after year, we shared the cheers and the tears

SeashellsPassion had finally washed away my serene demeanor. As I gaze toward the vast expanse of beach at Coney Island, my heart stirs at the sight of a couple strolling leisurely along the boardwalk. I can't help but picture us together on the sun-soaked shores of Barbados, our bare feet sinking into the warm, golden...

Madness to the MethodCall me Mr. Sensible. Call me Mr. Reason.
You can always count on me, regardless of the season.
Consistently, I have a plan, built on a firm foundation.
I take care to work things out, based on sound information.
But as I get older, something might be happening to my brain.
Madness wants to disrupt my methods, rational...

Intrusive Thoughts
There’s a monster menagerie inside my mind
these beasts are not cute, cuddly, or kind
they enjoy torturing my thoughts at night and all day
I’ll introduce you and tell you how each one behaves
First we have the notorious, "Nadine- NooneLikesYou”,
Then “Walter- You’reWorthless” is in my mind too
Here is “Rita Repeater” who never lets me forget
“Lala” likes words...
