Time is a train speeding down a track
Never braking, never stopping, never to look back....

Brought my car to an auto shop,
to discuss auto with a Mom and Pop,
motor good and ran,
had thin spongy pads,
happy I am now braking glad.

Turning,
Merging,
Braking,
Swerving.
Dreaming
of a 
different
life,
a different
place,
a different
time.
Blinking,
Blaring,
Crashing,
Burning.

How did I get here?...

"Brake me down, solve me to death, been trying to be within me, please show within me, show me braking down, show me within burying  myself..."

At his mad tea party; the Mad Hatter
climbs on the table braking cups and plates 
provoking Alice, while in the patch the red ace 
of hearts is bating Cheshire the blue chatter.

this fool took my heart now 
we braking a part the 
moon shine high bright
 in the ski in a 
distance my love 
passes me by 
eyes lingering deep
deeper then the big
blue sea 
i looked in dismays
then wondered away 
as far as the 
eye could see!!...

hollow soul 
fighting through
find yourself
braking through
dont you cry
we'll make it too
hollow soul
i love you
count the stars
shinning bright
see the hope
through the night
hollo soul
darkness reigns 
light breaks
through the walls
concience now
you hollow no more...

Black spots and Polka dots;
Are flouncing in the sky.

Hopping; dropping;
dancing; prancing;
cavorting way up high.

Whirling; twirling;
Spinning; grinning
Swaying in the air.

Moving; shaking;
dipping; braking;
Floating without a care.

What you say,
is this you see?
I don't know,
you tell me...

passing storm
leaving silent
bending branches  
hitting darkness
in your windows
 
I can sing
I can cry
 
I can sing like the mother’s lullaby
and howl like the wolf in the full moon
I can shake up dreamers in the dark
 
the crying
the braking
the singing
the barking
 
I am the fright
of dry branches...

Tears falling, hearts braking.
Child to the bone.
Feeling like all has failed.
Alown and abandon
Feerful for herself and the child she bares
Loveing a man that is always gone
Blond and beautiful 
How can some one like that brake such a gentle  heart
We as people may never know
But in time all broken hearts mend....

UNSUPPORTED CODE 

                                Loving Brothers

                           Hand hitting the face
                        Red burning titty twisters
                          Throbbing charley horse
                     Bone braking grizzly bear hug
               “Now, do you submit?,    .     .   .   . ”Uncle!”...

On the highway, traffic crawls
With stops and starts and braking.
Seems that progress isn’t something
That the traffic’s making.

On my right, the river gleams
With tour boats smoothly gliding,
The passengers much more relaxed
Than we on asphalt riding.

Manhattan is an island, but
It rarely can deliver
On any street a trip as fast
As those upon the river....

I'm spending my last waking moments thinking and dreaming of you
You abandoned me long ago
I don't know why you came back
Is it to haunt me with your heart braking eyes and your comforting smile
I miss you so much now
Maybe were meant to be
I fall into pieces all over again
What exactly makes me wish and wonder why
How can I let you go
I honestly thought I had you...

The synchronicity of the Universe,
Sometimes it feels like a curse.
If it’s not one thing, it’s another
Broken things, one after the other.

The Universe moves in cycles
There is a change of energies.
The universe will challenge you
But also it looks after you.

It knows how much you can take.
You are strong, you won’t break.
The wheel will turn.
The Peace will return....

Speed. Like a blur of feathers across the asphalt.
Skimming,  just inches higher than the busy road.
Formation. Not keeping any by choice default.
Sparrow. A bird born brave, a bird born to be bold.

With sun in my eyes, sparrow flies past my front wheels.
I swerve to the left as this wild one goes right.
The sound of my tires braking makes a loud squeal,
But rash, brave sparrow keeps flying, showing no fright....

I try to play along
But theres something 
About you that makes me
Week in the knees
I cant even speak about your
Physique thats so unique
And when you use your techniques
On me makes me want to scream
Aim in dream defending and braking 
All the rules like fools
Deprived of love gone wrong
Our love grew strong and 
We knew we belong no sense
Of right and wrong i played now
Were life long lovers and friends...

A storm is brewing.
Humanity is itself undoing.
No common good are men pursuing.
Anyone who stand for morals we're booing.

All focus on taking.
Every taboo we're breaking--
Self-control mankind is forsaking.
Godless science accelerating, never braking.

Media families so amusing!
Gender lines deliberately confusing.
Their hidden agendas subtly diffusing.
Enough is enough is enough.  Start refusing!

Waving ponytails
of silk
wrapped in skirts
browning green
red and yellow 
sapphire teeth
play a game
at hide and peek.
Sparkling twinkles
from the sea
flew in millions
like the wind
at the fullness 
of moon wink
fading with
the cricket sound
last stalks fall to the 
ground
echoing farmers
harvest song
mountain splendor
at braking dawn.

I hear you calling my name.

Why don't you just get out of my heart?

I see you with another girl.

Why can't you go away?

Im trying so hard to vanish you out of my mind.

But you keep showing up.

Playing & Braking & Teasing my heart.

Part of me is dying for you to leave.

Part of me is Dying for you to stay.

Can't you & me 

Just leave each other alone??

Husk of a Horsefly


It's the last day of September
as I carefully toe 
the husk
of a horsefly
out of my office
onto bright tiles
Stella will buff
to a sheen
while I am at home
surveying my supper.
But now I have time
to sit at my desk
till it's time for my train.
I can lean back in my chair
and listen to the day
drone near the ceiling.
Soon it will
helicopter down
like a horsefly,
touch ground
and taxi awhile
before braking.

Breathing space of time and place. Wishing waiting wanting wantonly. And a fried ham. Jellied eels do not erode in a milky ju. And segment of an oiled asparagus is not very funny for a spoon who arrives in a headdress at a ballroom. To tell a time off is to deny a denounced pink and purple acolyte of a flower . Bud then. Bead then. Braking beaming bombing being bringing basins. Hahahaha and now a chat to a cloth. Hahahaha and a jumping scarf doing the can can dance. Xxxx beautification z...

Please tell me you don’t love me
Tell me you don’t need me
My heart has been broken
And it’s braking really easy
Please tell me I’m not the one
Tell me I’m not the reason
I know you’re not happy
You can really stop pretending
Please tell me you’re on your way
Tell me there’s nothing left to say
I’m jus waiting to brake down crying
Every minute of everyday
So please tell me I was once loved
Tell me I had your kisses and hugs
Tell me you had the love of your life
We changed so we gotta split up...
