Take my guns?
It’s too late 
Way too late
I’ve already dipped my head in the well of hell 
And sucked the knowledge of devastation
Your attempts to curb my mental masturbation 
Have only further fueled my fascination 

You should understand 
That in murder land 
Guns are the turnkey solution for the lazy 
Point and pull 
click click click 
Convenience with a choice of colors for the sick 
LOL 
So absurd 
You naïve turd
Death is overrated, or haven’t you heard? 
Everyone is doing it night and day 
Risking it all for a lil gun play 
Buying another day
With brass and lead 
Gotta keep my paranoia well fed
Other wise 
I may end up dead 
Then where would I be?
In a box 
And unable to take you with me
See ya around clown
I gotta go down town 
To see the man 
With the eternal frown 
You know? 
Wears a red suit and full of brown 
LOL

Getting Up and Getting Away

getting up and getting away
no coin toss or real reason
you have a tasted for some buttercream cake squares
i have a taste for a butterscotch mikshake
afterwards we drive to different areas and check out some houses we saw online
we learn that you do not like modular homes and i am not crazy about well water
you like hardwood floors throughout and i dig wall to wall carpet
we both like turnkey ready and absolutely no exceptions
fixer-uppers are not even close to an option
we then decide out of the clear blue to drive to a particular park
there is a walking track above a hill close to the Heavens where held hands inside my jacket pocket on a very cold winter day
we converse while at the same time take in the moment and the moderate sun
it is then that we (aka SHE) decide to do some "window shopping"
you pull me into your world, and i end up buying some island fresh febreze, some fresh spring waters purex crystals, and a dr. pepper
inside and to myself i just shake my head and wonder where we will be heading to next
with the way our minds work we both never know....and by golly that seems to be the way we like it!

God Is My Turnkey

No-one sees this but me ,im slowly falling apart 
Seem im always losing the things that are dearest to my heart
Its nothing strange I know i should have seen it from the start
yet  somehow life stepped in again and left its ugly mark

Master of my destiny thought to have had control
Not knowing what was waiting for me at the end of the road
Thinking I was tough not knowing that I would fold
As all the stress and strife in my life finally took its toll

It was me that turned from GOD not him that turned from me
He had shown me the way to go but I was too blind to see
I myself chose this path thinking this is where I wanted to be 
Now im stuck here in my own prison  waiting on God to turn the key

Premium Member Skeleton Key

The turnkey to my heart? A skeleton;
It’s understanding the rhythm and more 
importantly? The rhyme;

It’s hearing my past and calming 
every thought of the future,
listening as I reveal my soul;

Shattered or in one piece 
I relish every sip of you;
So go on, taste me;

It’s opening the closet and being 
okay with the chaotic mess 
because it made me who I am;

It’s dancing with two left feet 
just so I can feel less awkward;
Still loving every minute of it;

So go on sip on me,
shattered or in one piece;
I relish every time you taste;

It’s knowing I’m not always sunny,
but loving my moonless dark sky;
The portal to my heart? A skeleton key.

Life Is a Journey With Many Doors We Must Open

Life is a journey that is anything but turnkey
Full of many doors that we must open 
As we find our way through another day
There are so many doors to choose from 
Before all the opportunities
Will just flee or get by me

So we have to try to always reach for the sky 
Turning all of life's opportunities on high
We have to let some pass us by 
For every new door that opens 
We need to test the waters 
As they come ashore

We must not ignore what makes us soar
Before the next door closes
We need not worry or get in a hurry
About all the doors that are so blurry
For every new door that brings opportunity
Should allow us to foresee
 
Which are key for us to agree 
Moving forward before the next door closes
We have to let go of those doors 
That brings the doubt without clout
That turns our world all about

Making us want to shout
Why we figure out
Why we all stumble and fumble 
Surely these are the doors that we must close
Because everybody knows it all makes us grow
 
Into the person, we have come to know
So take it nice and slow
And just find the right flow
Life is what you make it
So don't fake it
Or break it
But rather 
Make it your own

What if I just let go?

What if I just let go?     

An Architect of Ruins: built upon an unpredictable,
Sandstorm. With full knowledge of its consequences.
The contractor's role in assisting with the outcome.
Was the price to pay as tools used to construct the
anchor that is already sinking?
This is the familiar toxicity of a well-known friend.
While displaying their fully furnished turnkey.
Craving stability, but chose the sandstorm.
Like cutting off body parts, then stitching them
together with thorn wires, suggested by the hired
contractor. Who has made it a wreckage, and now grasping in                                                                          corrosive  shattered sandstorm, having,
shown the turnkey project.
Subcontractors are now on the punch list.
Where is the willingness to surrender this pain?
These hands are the only thing that’s binding time.
Of your own undoing.
To stop the bleeding, you must drop the permit.
