OVER THE INFLUENCE
My lungs fill as I inhale the smoky haze of the September breeze.
Overcast skies stare down on me until the guilt drenches my bones.
A puppet to the pressures of most I cannot control, gnawing at my ears until the only thing I hear is the deafening sound of my own thoughts.
I no longer wish to

Over the Storm
The rain falling down my face,
The pain in my heart,
Losing you again,
Has torn me apart,
The thunder so loud,
The lightning so scary,
The feelings I have,
I just can't seem to bury,
The tornado's are real,
They twist and they turn,
My calls not answered,
My messages: Burned,
The floods come in,
Washing things away,
The memories remain,
Will I rebuild someday?
This storm is unforgettable,
The havoc

Over One Percent Of Floridas Prisoners Die Every Year In Prison And It's Never In The News
the sun cooks the fences
the guards smoke and laugh
men rot behind steel,
stacked like moldy bread.
over one percent
they die—
nobody counts
except the families,
and the dirt.
a body here,
a stabbing there,
sickness in the cells
that medicine never touches.
no cameras come,
no headlines scream.
just a whisper in the dark,
and silence sells better than truth.

Over active dem ladies
When appearing in public as Droopy sad vote needy it just
crumbles just as the millions of others.
Left with a guilty dialogue to chase? Please yourself

Please visit Ventura and thousand oaks cities guys.
Bring your spine it has a home here it's

Is Summer Really Over
Is summer over or just cooling down,
days are getting shorter do not make a frown.
Sun time use varies widely,
in many different places.
Do not tell me barbeque time is over,
that will make me want to pee my bedcover.
As BBQ corn does eat,
great with hotdogs and watermelon too.
Tell me it is not so,
no more ice

Head Over Heels
How can I tell if you really care?
How can I know you'll always be there?
There've been so many times in the past
I've had relationships that didn't last.
I don't know if I can go through this again,
I'm not sure that it's worth all that pain.
I managed to keep all the others at bay.
I even found that

Starting Over
I find myself all alone
with no place to call my own.
Living off other peoples’ charities,
how did I let this happen to me?
It really wasn’t that far back
I had it made, that’s a fact.
The world was my oyster holding the pearl,
Miss Independent, a confident girl.
‘I don’t need anyone!’; least that’s what I said.
You think maybe I

The Bridge
where they go
To verdant eternal forests
and fields,
To run and leap free
Without leashes, reigns or chains…
All heaven blessed
With no hunger or thirst
While waiting for us.

cold wind over Europe
Cold is the wind in Europe.
It is a stormy evening, brown leaves flying in the storm
dank and dry, torn from the mother tree with hatred
I`m thinking of Macron, the president of France,
extolling globalization. I`m a nationalist, from
a country that has naturally evolved, has its own culture,
and an unspoken agreement on how people should perform.

Part Two
He asked to stay till morning: he'd walk to get some help. I told his to grab a chair, handed him food told him to help himself. He dip toast bred and complimented the taste. We sipped wine and played cards, cigar smoke all over the place. I bought a box of stoagies, smoked up

The Day the Beast Lost
I woke each break with cast a shadow on my chest,
a nameless weight that stole my needed rest.
It spoke in lies I dared not try to fight,
and turned the morning darker than the night.
I laughed in rooms so no one saw the ache,
while every smile felt brittle, thin, and fake.
It fed on doubt, on all
