Guitar Poems

aint no doubt bout it
aint no shuffling round
me and you together
gotta nice ring
gotta nice sound

aint got me second guessing
aint gotta worry bout silly things
do what you do
let me do my thing
and we'll get along just fine(ahh!)

aint no secret tween you...Read More

they  play guitar
some feel like a star
the beat on can
sound like a band
theyer here and there
every where
on street  underneat
the music beat
you pat your feet
seen in sane but easy the pain
PLAYING FOR CHANGE...Read More

An empty look of sadness
That never bears a smile,
A malnourished mind
Aching to utter its voice,
A baby’s cry missing
The sweet tune of lullaby.

A dark moonless night
Reminiscing of shining stars,
A pensive gloomy dawn
Rising on sunless sky
Yearning lift of marigold arc
Sprinkled in magenta.

Death parodied Iron Maiden's band
with satirical mimicry,
a Twisted Sister bandstand
complete with flames and gimmickry.

As die-hard rock and rollers danced
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band,
the reaper keeping souls entranced
while maintaining the upper hand.

Beelzebub was Death's stagehand
languishing in the flames of hell,
Death parodied...Read More

 *****This poem inspired me to show or make sentient as possible a woman of special appeal, which provided an apt challenge of my poetic Powers. Such words as 'countenance opulent' 'L'Amour and debonair' and the rhyming structure creates the...Read More

everything I've ever written
these pieces of torn paper in my hand 
all this has only ever been
an ode to my silence
not for the boy who lives next door
who smiles at me sometimes in the corridor
who comes over in the middle...Read More

You say, I’m too far, 
towards the far side?
It’s a hazard of my left-handedness,
that I see the logic in abstraction.
Worlds lay within worlds
and colors bleed personality;
Oh, it may be distasteful
in the world of mathematics
to give a square five sides;
not in...Read More

There's the
Guy
In the corner
Strumming on his guitar
Singing of the
Good ol 2000's songs
Shaking his head
At the recent rap reps
The golden eyelet
Etched on
There's the emo girl
In all black
Tapping furiously
On her laptop
Emailing any
Cooperations
That would take her
Her sighs can
Be heard from the
Other side of...Read More

I drove down the boulevard as I did a thousand other times
Passing by the aged blue-gray house - the bachelor's pad across the street
Hunkered down like storm clouds in a mist of yesterday's legacy 
And there he stood....the soulful captive,...Read More

There's biscuits in the oven
and bacon in the pan
it lingers in the air
reminding me that I am
a long way from home
still a long way from home.

My momma, she told me
when I was just a boy
son, you'll never go anywhere
with that...Read More

Stand back man, I am enjoying my juice.

He spent his nights on the rolling seas
Eating half-raw fish and moldy cheese
He'd float into town about twice a year
To see some old friends and drink a little beer

He played an old guitar with worn-out strings
With callused fingers, he could...Read More

tending to your affairs
I seem to keep up airs
or so would  say
is it really that way
is it really that way

i undermine your achievements
complicate your agreements
i make it so you'll never
succeed
she told me
she looks forward
to my 
tomorrow's
she wish to...Read More

Grave Music- -


When I thought of music
Those the song never tuning
Musicians so are cocooning
Taking thy hymn from out my heart

That moment my soul grew routine
Just what does this mean

Grave music

The grave a funeral
I saw the composers
Music is dead
Yet we still...Read More

Oval
Orange speckled rock
As large as a giant dinosaur egg
Sat in the scratchy field out back
Of our lakeside A-Frame cottage
Next to McLaughlin’s orchard of cherries

Where honeybees are fanned to clover fields
And Torch Lake swings below
From the corners of the hills
Like a...Read More

silence, speaks the night
the sky is empty
no birds
silence, speaks the night

a man in the shadow
top hat and cane
cigarette and lighter
a man in the shadow

you approach with hesitation
you walk with a sense of premonition
and scars that grew from within
you apprach with...Read More

dancing though
i don't dance
but my ears

like a harp

worth a

a chord 
   forms
     a word

tritones begin

Have you ever listened to Rock Me Amadeus on Karaoke

I would rather be a Bat Out Of Hell on my Stairway To Heaven

And that is what they will have to sing when my box gets lowered

Sunk into eternity while the...Read More

like the undersong of mind
every thought sings of you
the sweetest melody

i long to be
your greatest lyric
fallen on ivory sheets

be the strings
beneath the caress
of your fingers
as you strum
a euphony

feel the beat
echo through my heart
as your rhythm carries me
into the depths of...Read More

My City Cowboy

You don't wear boots, 
not the fancy ones...
unless there is a;
marriage, birth or death.
Otherwise, it is work shoes, 
steel-toed, 
and seldom shiny. 

Plain or plaid shirt, 
maybe a Harley souvenir,
from a ride...
But on Sundays,
mom's perfect handmade vest. 

Strong...Read More
