So many wonders and thoughts swirling through your bed
No responsibilities
Just fun and...

III.
There must be a hundred, silent and cruel,
a slow-moving wave as the night grew cool,
Rose had a shotgun, to blast out her hate,
yet Sol remained steady, motioned her to wait.

He didn’t shoot, he had planned...

I must confess that I once dreamt
Of a knight of noble honor
He existed in the first specs of my memory
Which grows weaker as my mind grows ever-expanding chasms.
He was there that day, in the field
When...

I went to the Hollywood studio meeting
Paul, Steve and Sandy gave me a warm greeting

My motto in business was no pain, no gain
So we sat down to...

what happens in sleep,
stays in sleep, no?

you hope. 

you do your best to 
forget the places that 
you’ve been & the 
people with whom you
have done despicable

you tiptoe through the
tulips, boundless & naked
sniffing, snorting,...

When I was fifteen my friend 'Riff' and I
started our very own garage band,

Friday morning 
I hopped out of the shower, 
popped over to the lavatory counter, 
flopped my most profound sexual characteristic 
down and onto a misplaced curling iron, 
burning the tender center of my-very-being. 
Thankfully

kelp seaworty here!

 THEY WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT
THEY WANTED SOMETHING RIGHT
SOMETHING THAT COULD  TAKE THE STALNESS AWAY

You have a choice
To fall prey to that demonic disease
And stay victim held captive
Where it keeps you with ease

You have a choice
To follow static conclusion
And exist under asphyxiation from
High powered inanimate pollution

Lascivious Friends Amends

Coincidence, simultaneity, with a pinch of merriment
And convergence of moments, opened up this gate to hell 
(I had to open the door…didn't I ?…)
It was at their convenience, not mine
Cursed by fate, unwanted...

Not quite a slave 

After war number 2 when the time was hard and
oil was undiscovered, hidden under deep waters

A man came here to speak today,
students did not like him at all,
egged of by professors, quite enraged,
with no decency at all.
They claim we should ‘hear all sides,’
but when this man dared to speak,
they rioted...

Moses was set adrift on the Nile in bulrushes,
The freedom fighter had encounters with God,
And trembled at the sight of the burning bushes 
Mountains quake, earth trembles, heaven is a flood.
 
With rain, thunder peals,...

Jealousy is like a disease that takes over your mind,
In your thoughts it's as if they've committed a crime.

Sometimes leaving you feeling broken.
It's because of someone's success or riches,
That cause you...

All kinds of unkind taunts and silly songs...

I liked to wear my blue jeans.
