Long Under my thumb Poems

the new renaissance
pushed the envelope too far
actions speak louder than words
under my thumb from your torture

for one day

No need for us to buy records or movies
just disgusting

under oak shadows of Tomorrow River Valley
hiding in-between hours, roots sipping moonlit juice
borrowed from Eden, a deception of men ascending
into the hollow of my forgotten stories—
awaiting Judgment and Consumption,
theirs...

Ballad for Ruby and the Dice"

Angie, she whispered through cigarette haze,
The ghost of a name from my wilder days.
Under my thumb, I thought hearts would stay,

Paint it black,...

Angie and Ruby, the Honky Tonk Women,
wanted to paint the honkytonk.  Their heads started swimmin'
when I says, "Ruby, Tuesday's a good day to paint.

"Angie" likes to brag, telling us all,
“I’ve got my guy Under my Thumb.”
The Rolling Stones might call her a “Honky Tonk Woman,”

where HONKY TONK WOMEN spilled perfume and regret.

They played on the jukebox—The Rolling Stones,
In a bar where old time softly groans.
A voice called out for ANGIE, low,
Like a ghost from many years ago.

In denim dreams and...

OH ANGIE my beau in morning light,
We've rocked on all through the night.

Rolling dem stones to what she yearns.

PAINT IT BLACK, let's sing the tune,
Let it play from dawn...

A HONKY TONK WOMAN named ANGIE
heads out to our bar every night. 
And those WILD HORSES with hombres 
show up to get drunk or to fight. 

Bar's sign, “RUBY TUESDAY” is red;
behind, though, they did...

Is this what the Government
When I see how my money's spent
Taxing me of my last breath
Controlling voices in my head

Should have been a magician 
Being so good at slight of hand
The only thing up his...

When I look deep I see
I'm my own worst enemy
Hard as it is to believe
Trying my best to destroy me

Packaged sweetly comes back to bite
With heavy heart and heavy...

on a winter day
V’s and X’s going every which way
A tic tac toe grid under my thumb
Double life line toward the wrist
Triangle connects the head and heart line
Tiny checkers on thumb...

Yet another mystery, overdue to be solved
If our views are predestined to, one day, change
Then proving our point, well it seems rather vain

You are UNDER MY THUMB
