Long Backtrack Poems

Verse 1: I'm loving every second of our time together
I'm liking the fact that you aren't a memory, all ablur
I adore you and everything about you
We were meant to be...you came to me out of...

Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care
Is anyone there 
Enjoy this life 
Pop open a Sprite 
Roll over to the right and kiss my wife 
She's fast asleep
Daylight is trynna come 
It's trynna creep 
When she...

I’ve endured a thousand thunderstorms in my brain
I’ve cured a thousand more to feel your rainfall’s pain
I’m apologetic for the wrongs I’ve done to you and all,
But I will not fall for your gain’s sake...

It was a late springtime day, and the bluebirds all were singing,
Outside the classroom window, while the bells all were ringing.

I had a lucky window seat, which afforded quite amazing views,
Of lovely natural colorings, the...

"Motherland"

The “Removed”,
Charlestons across the keyboard,

fingers have a personality and a mind 
of their own, don’t you agree?

the stalwart mind converses with the frivolous fingers 
its stark increduality, considers All above All

they’re incorrigible, those lithe fingers,
like...

To give me nervana like I deserve
Nothing's wrong with me
Maintain my lustful heart patiently...

Be a good example…
Don’t you know what that means?
I munch on my apple
Didn’t you hear me? Eat your green beans!

You’re stuck in place
You say “no”…
Stop denying it so
And I say “yes”
But, you can make progress
You’re...

Alone these thoughts like annoying buzz,
zealously trample across minds agenda,
beguile what plans I had planned to play.
Yearning for release from ancient scab,
can I not sheath their crashing climax?
Xenon prayers list low and anaemic,
downtrodden by shoe-tied...

Loneliness is not what I’m looking forward to
Distress was not part of my gladness, so true
Oceanic, ominous waves bring me down sometimes, darling so free
Tension-packed, traumatic nervousness gives me moments of mere bravery

Oceanic, ominous waves...

Pushed and fallen apart…
Worn the brave face 
While I sweat in my heart
In this rapid-paced race 

I survived the storms you whirled inside me
I arrived complete in dawn's light delightfully
Deleted the lack of passion progress...

How unappealing... the missus went bananas
courtesy hurling mandarin oranges.

Yes quite juvenile
unladylike childlike behaviour,
mine wife oft times doth display,
I do not deplore

yours truly reckons
tis futile effort causing furore
aye attest bull
in china shop incorrigible hardcore
exhibited by spouse

The bell of the high church tower
Rings every hour
The sound echoes with power
As in the skies shooting stars shower

Beyond the castle wall
There is suffering of a lonely soul
The chestnuts fall like hail this fall
And leaves...

I guess this had to be said
The root causes for the way
I am kept awake at night 
Summer heat no sleep
My only companions are
Past events and the opinions
My soul resents. 

I guess it had to...

I am a baker in a quaint, small town,
for my artisan breads the people come ’round,
Tuscan and baguettes by the dozen are sold,
but most people come here for my Gender Rolls.

I came up with them...

My planets evolve around you
Like the triumphant sun in the spacious galaxies
My regrets dissolve away too
Like rock, reduced to pure crystal sand at ease

Chasing after you like a shooting star
In the moonlit, scarlet-black sky
You’re going...

I walk into an old brick building on a campus.
It seems so familiar. . . as if I should know it,
and yet my memory is blurred.
Climbing steps, I’m sure of where I need to go.

The annual migrat'ry trek of southern folk each year, 
Escaping chilly winter months, they mostly seem to fear, 
Sees four wheel drives and caravans of ev'ry shape and size 
Roll slowly northward searching out the...

SONG OF ANALOG MAN

Don't blog. 
Sing in analog.
Log-off in space. 

Wasted time! 
In machine rhyme.
Holding data in your face.

Past, heart shaped locket.
Present, gear and shinny sprocket.
Pendulum stops in place.

Time machine,speaks tick-tock.
Strings and loops, in quantum...

Walking down the street I see into everyone back yard

Walking down the street I am drawn to a person for one reason or another

Walking down the street i know that others have been here

Walking down...

I use to watch my ole man
Make 3 ton piles of sawdust
Into press bricks. He'd go into
Town with his truck loaded and
a concession stand and sell the
wood rocks and rice noodle soup
on the weekends.

all in the astrological

opposing a closing

of ever changing information
