before their coffee, it's July the 4th, 
the holiday is here! 

Sailboats daubed in milky opalescence

My main line muse stepped over a line –
My confuser got confused off line
Rhymes on strike, my pen went dry in a stiff hard line
Thesaurus got clean away flying through the pipeline.

Flashback
I had a flashback once
It tipped the Richter scale
Almost right at nine
It took control of me

Before I knew the war was on 
You didn't see my mind
You only heard my fist
Trying to be kind

Help me...

Here I stand before you with so much racing through my mind,
You have always been the graceful patient one; knowing I would come in my own time.
So much time I have wasted, with so much...

The Chance I Didnt Take
Girl I think it’s time 
To lay it on the line
And let you know exactly 
What’s been on my mind 

As I reflect on my regrets 
The one that cuts me deepest
Is the one that...

I Rather Not Know

I’d hate to think of myself as someone who isn’t in the know,
About things in life that tend to hurt me so.
I rather go about my day seeing only what my eyes...

Be Legit
 No one is real,
We all have a dual face.
  Find someone who can,
Excite your taste.

  People respect money,
Not the person.
  Money can be,
A Beast of Burden.

  The one you love...

Sooner Than Later
Sooner than later
What’s meant to be will always find a way
Goodbyes will turn to goodnight and we’ll stay
Sooner than later......
It’s gonna happen anyway

We’re running out of time
Each second holds a...

My Free Style
I'm sitting, drinking a few beers and thinking,
Wondering why, my soul seems to be shrinking,
I'm trying to link this life, all together,
But I never seem to solve this most cryptic endeavor!

Constantly
You own my days
You own my nights
Every second every hour 
I’m alive

Where you are

From the second that we met
I’ve been your fool

As it is for me

Especially after the debacle of last year
You delivered the sexy underwear and the two-day hotel break to my wife
What the hell were you thinking
Does my wife look like she can...

Complicated Love
My life is so complicated,
It feels as if I'm neither loved nor appreciated.
This feeling I have inside of me,

you can 'take the knee' if you believe passionately.

Premium Member Wooing Winter In Autumn's Song
Where gentle winds merrily blow
And twilight flaunts its orange glow
Swirling imprints amber arc spun
Bending beams-mauve of setting sun
Prairies sway in graying shadows
Wailing grief of browning meadows

While garden sighs of parched flowers
And ardor yawns in rain...

No White Flag
Life is not a stroll
In the park.
  It's a reach for something
In the dark.

  You have to keep what
Matters close.
  Memories come back and
Haunt you like a ghost.
