While the earth shook I could not look 
In the direction of the Big Book 
Like a fish caught on a nasty hook...

Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson
A brand new sheriff came to town
I'm sure he's not the last

They leave here mighty fast

Some can't stand the pressure
Others end up in boot hill

As aspiration seeks to take its toll,
your mass flotilla salvaged sons of war.
‘Twas but a feat the angels will extol
though Satan’s army rallies at your door.
Your youthful fit have vowed to serve the Crown.
They muster...

I know that I’m not dead, but I might as well be, I live in an altered reality where I’m still the me I used to be
Here I sit beside of me talking to myself,...

My best friend, 
Through shining days and endless nights I remember our times, when we laughed and played as if nothing mattered. If I could just make you that happy again. You are beauty and...

The first encounter started off with a 
"Hi"My name is Revue, born and raised in the Lou

Bring back sensation from within to begin!
Brave back the...

Within my dreams, you shall ever belong, 
where you shall ever light up...

Like many merchant vessels
That sailed from our Mersey shore
This sturdy piece of timber
Can hold its own in tales of yore

A dried up piece of flotsam
Washed up on Wirral banks
Was dutifully cleaned and dressed
And a verse...

Just the other day I felt our love astray
Holding my tongue gasping for air 
Just the other evening we went out as a couple but yet I felt we were'nt hole
Holding my tongue so I...

Uncomfortable pt.2

Let me take a moment 
to tell you what exactly this is and

or a piece without substance.

The ex Soldier An Allegory


A foul furtive fellow,

came a knocking at Joe's door,

what doth thou want,

Hardly ever even agreed to disagree and never budged an inch
There was always an If and or definite But and resolute No

I wish I could hang it over the neck of my thoughts and pull it...

on a low ridge that has no proper name,
I stumble on something that feels surreal.

An old-growth forest grove, somehow...

And no more your kids will get a chance above mine 
Because at my work I’ve never even met the bosses

You see we were able to hold our own before

Daniel had an old guitar...
That he could never play 
It sat stood in it's stand... 
Until he took it out one day 
And Daniel never taught himself...

Not because of my courage but because it is my last name
And not because I "like" Mel Gibson that much but because it is 
how I was raised.

BENEATH THE CONCRETE

Born to a hard, brown, and rocky soil,
A world where Adam's fall makes us all toil.
I thought I couldn't bloom and blosom,
thought I wouldn't sprout, so they assume.
Here I find myself, where I...

 Love was the essence of my mere existence
 Those walks in the park all alone
 We were both holding are own
 Sweet kisses...

Lord, Lord, Lord- what now- what now?
What do you want one to do?  What now, what now?
I wake up- I stand my ground-
I hold it together- I am duty-bound.
I live within the storm.
