I Renamed your Dog Beau
I hope you don’t mind, but I renamed your dog, Beau
This came from a neighborhood girl I just met; name of Flo.
She had escorted my dogs home from a mile away.
How she accomplished this I honestly can say.
My dogs love children, they will follow them anywhere.
If you don’t believe, bring a child here, yes, please

The 27 Club Should Be Renamed
The 27 Club is but a myth.
A lot of pop rock stars die also young
and in their 20’s; by coincidence,
four biggies of the Woodstock Era died
just years within each other, and their age
just happened to be 27, so
because of tragic deaths, these are the ones:
Joplin, singer of “White blues” was lonely.
Guitarist Jimi Hendrix was too

Heaven Renamed
Free falling from your will,
diving towards
a one way kind of thrill,
Somehow, with you,
sin doesn't seem so unlikely,
like finding comparison
through contrast,
Sainthood tonight,
is highly unlikely;
You've been the only one
who has righted me.
I feel safe in turbulence,
Anxious in tranquility.
My mission isn't
complete
until I find you in all things.
You toppled my dictatorship
Feel whole when you

Renamed Youth
Unmeasured shade correct the unfrozen
Eyes so burn with each natural die
Relic of pieces tremble drops unbroken
Tread with pasts in next hour's cries
Pedaling against the dull silent nothing
Life's showing brighter desolate
Deeply blamed for soulless bluffing
The liberties control the drawn isolate
Shine within the flesh calamic
None the grieving frail unseen
Acceptance shake uncontrollable dynamic
No choosing social and mislay believed
Enter

To the Gulf of Mexico (To Be Renamed Gulf of Dead Silence)
Sweet Empty gulf farewell
all the animals I've known so well
adrift among the lifeless waves
corroding in the grim sun's rays.
Oh the dim murk reeks of death
the odors cause my nose distress
I'll never see the water blue
consumed forever by BP's Crude.
- To every animal that has swam, trot, or flew
I bid thee all adieu
I'll miss you.

To Forget Would Be Profane (Renamed)edit
A young man fresh
off to the war,
only to come back
a shadow
Through the years
the toll it took,
wasn’t overlooked
In a night
while we slept,
of one mans fright
he wept
Stumbling
through the house
screaming of war
the horror and carnage
his hatred of awe
He’d wake
from his terror
in a
cold hard sweat
and still
forgotten
I haven’t yet
the look
on his face
and pain
in his
