every spring in his step when his wife began to abuse his good faith

abandoned him by the way side and the side...

When life puts in you in these cages, 
where you meet people of different rages, 
and faces, 
it makes you seem horrible.

I noticed you shirt which reminded me of the clothes my dad buys to...

Hey what did I miss?
Do I owe you something,
that every time I make a move in life you react?
Do I owe you success?
That every time I drown, making bad decisions
You recognize,

Judging like an expert.
Does it...

Over dramatic phrases bring back thoughts of old time,
My overdrawn heartbeat sets the pace of every line.
I look through this window as the wind sweeps the trees,
My gaze becomes a stare as my thoughts become...

Inequity....

I'm thinking loud.
Who spreads the clouds.
Like the courageous coward.
Guards the mighty from the crowd.
Who will fight for Boychild 

Who.!?!?

The creator created a father.
Like a magnet to gather.
He was lovely but lonely
Like a glutton..
He wasn't satisfied...

I stumbled last night and today
After a year and 8 months 
It started with Chinese cooking wine
It began with the night's emptiness
Wine becomes bad days alone
Beer is weak but fills a belly
Brake all those good...

garish colours and a man with a Hammond organ also played 
many instruments with a total lack of talent, when he...

Having an inflated ego is detrimental to living a good life
It's a self-serving trait that can lead to tragedy and strife
One who's overconfident is arrogant, his hubris is rife
Overplaying his hand will cut like the...

(But Love Got in the Way!)

Tell me what's there in Christmas that's magic to you?
Is it all life in general? Friendship that's true?
I'm not certain I'm up to what's magic or not,
How could wisdom of...

I’m fading away.
Like a tired song,
wearing thin on the air waves,
overplayed in the bar seine,
and I am tired out.
I had to walk out, 
it was time to move on
and not to
fade away.


Never been;
Never found,
the connection

Much As Love And Hope Defeats Blackest Blight

I shall walk from the dark into new light
Much as love and hope defeats blackest blight
So too, may faith in recovery ask
Does not the hero, in great courage...

Under the cover of night, a major mission.
The self-assured plot and scheme did not fail
because it was not well planned and executed.
Nor did the affair backfire due to neglect.

The people, dressed in their religion and...

I'm going through some changes at this time.

I'm human, poetry in motion and I find

that my verses don't even rhyme.

I ask so many questions of myself.

Is this reality? Can I wish on another shooting star;

maybe...

The orchestra of the world
become violently overplayed
become muted white noise
sanely adjusted to a nigh-zero

And here where the colors are bright
here where we living meet
here there are questions, questions all the time
can't make anything out,
there's nothing...

Before you were a nightmare
You were comfort.
You were the soft rocking that lulled the newborn to sleep.
You were the feathered pillow absorbing the flow of tears from the heartbroken girl.
You were the overplayed song that...

Whilst I hover here
wondering if i'll be sick
The hazy details of the nights debauchery
Become clearer with every retch, 
And nothing. 

Who took that photo with the silly face?
I really thought id be able to pace
Myself...

I had a brilliant moment of clarity, inspired by a dream,
a profound reminder that things may not be what they seem.
There's not always a clear line between evil and good,
like a wolf in sheep’s clothing...

My Kevorkian Alter Ego

Go head jump
Put me out of your misery
You don't have the balls
All talk and no devastation
This charade is an overplayed drama.
It's boring me this non event
The only thing that has died is...

 interlocking rhyme 

Some fellows like to give a lot; our presents, very rare.
Exchanging gifts is such a chore when timing is not fair.
Their endowments are so much more than we are wont to give

Im gonna help the sad faces that have faces ,
Redeem each part played in these bad places
And if I had a safety net, I'd be glad to be gracious.
You don't have to say it,

Waking up next to you is not what I had in mind
I know your inlove
but I wish we could rewind.
A vow was made
obligation overplayed 
why did I proceed
because in marriage I don't believe.
white satin, decadent...

Why do I go threw this life knowing I have no purpose, 
Wife friends family around me tell me that I'm worthless.
I have felt alone for far to long, life on repeat like a song...
