Wayfare Manor
In a peculiar puny town nestled in western Massachusetts,
There lives an enchanted mansion in the Wilbraham woods,
Hidden in the hills away from the eastern city's pollutants,
Where the creme de la creme masquerades in cowled hoods.
Around...

Do Not Read This Poem
What the ****,
I'll break your neck if you get at me,
tell me now,
that I can't paint pictures,
when I clearly see that
old man,
walking like a broken triangle
making a vertex on the ground with his cane,

The Bleeding
I flung my bloodied bathrobe onto a dusty mahogany bureau and roared: “Did we frighten
the scarecrows tonight, my love? Whose catch was it anyway? Yours or mine? We invited 10
guests to our dungeon this evening....

My Slap-Myself Thing
waterfall from skies compete with my thoughts
must be doing something else,
yet here I am,
Here. I am.
Again.
Why do I keep coming back here?!?
A mental shake,
as I chastise myself
I shouldn't be here, don't belong...

Cinnamon skies
Okay, here’s a shot at those lyrics, aiming for that Prince-meets-Brandy-ballad-with-a-Usher-hook vibe. I've opted for an AABB rhyme scheme with some internal rhymes to add to the flow.
Title: Cinnamon Skies (For Him)

Three Doors
I see three doors before me.
The one to the left is blue, a beautiful lupis blue
with ornate lacework in its center.
Parisian-esque, it looks likes an entrance to adventure
and inspires me with its sophistication.

My Turn To Cry
I’ve distanced myself
I didn’t mean to
Didn’t set out to do it
An unconscious act of the mind
For self preservation
My visits went to once a week
Sunday dinners that once lasted for hours
Became shorter and shorter
Until now...

On First Looking Into Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
To Eamon
I followed you down that long straight road
Stretched through plain under sky
You with your boy and your bicycle
Me, with Despair in my stare and my sigh.
And we came to the Dante-esque crossroads
And watched...

That Delicious Something
It started off simple enough - a peck on the cheek.
(nothing tantalizing by any means)
But then she did that delicious something
... that made my whole body weak.
And before any could protest,
with their carefully organized rebuttals,
all...

They Had the Wright Idea
Look how far we've come! What would have taken months of perilous voyage now just takes hours of mundane leisure. At your fingertips lies countless options of entertainment: music, movies, games.
But looking out the window...

Fag Ends
Even amongst the hums and whirrs and hisses
coming from behind the counter
Its so easy
In the pretentious mist of this artsy café
To pick up
And draw on
The stained remains of conversation;
Some so Avant Garde
Andy Warhol would vomit.

Insomniac Attack
A Hindenburg-Esque explosion
Say goodbye to rationality
While all the daily trespassers Scream!
"OH THE INSANITY!!!!"
I sleep with sinners
Weep with the saints
I'm twice the fossil
Three times the oil
Slick as an unlit candlestick
Hid the wick
Burn twice...

If beautiful was printed from a negative it would be the silhouette of a rose
Because roses are sculpted from the hands of immortality
Breathed from the marble no one saw as a flower
Every petal flaunts the...

And Aim
By the blank firing squad we waited as the soldiers
loaded brass tacks and high angled themselves in
line. Filling the glass lungs stood before that
apathetic gaze, full by the noon day's glare.
Bitter Orange cast...

The Jacket
It still hangs there,
there on the back of my door.
“Wa d’y lev ut thur?” I can hear you say
in that Chatterley-esque accent of yours,
rippling through me.

Poetry Is My Insanity
Poetry is my insanity
Poetry is my insanity,
sparks collected on flat mirrored walls,
frantic phrases floating
in a spectrum’s pulsating palette,
picturing Dali-esque icicle melted webs
and chromatic landscapes
blurring in the distance
Dancing to the demented sounds
of brain cells...

The Mafia Musicians
THE MAFIA MUSICIANS
On the sidewalk half a dozen swarthy men from Italy,
Playing foot-tapping dance music
With lots of clarinettes and violins.
Black moustaches and over-long hair
And dark fedoras at...

Shadow of a Doubt
By Craig J. Burt /Jimmy Boom Semtex
Are you ok?
Your brain's rattling like crazy
You're dancing like a ballerina
Twerkin around these crazy hot streets
You say why be a bore?
Life is a chore
Refuse to fade
Like a shadow of...

Could I be one of the stars in the picture you see?

I'd rather be part of the sky without epidermis or features

Broken Glass
Broken Glass
My thoughts like broken glass.
Pieces like a jigsaw puzzle.
I can’t put my finger on the right one(s).
I look through each one.
They look so clear.
Stained Glass
God's light shines through.
I suffered through the process.
Serendipity of stained...
