The Ego

The ego is a tyrannical beggar.
A loud, pitiful, empty-handed turnkey,
Powerless but for charity,
Living in fear of death by discovery.

The Landfill

ever drifting,ever shifting
sifting through the mountainous debris
it often seems they never rest
like snow upon the crown of Everest
are the gulls of turnkey.

Limerick: Once a Prince From the Kingdom Toikey

Limerick:  Once a Prince from the Kingdom Toikey

Once a Prince from the Kingdom Toikey
Insisted on being wed by his turnkey
But his you may know not
Got stuck in a chamber pot
That’s how the Queen got wed by her lackey.

A Blanket Fort and Peppermint Pillow Mote

Aromatic alleviation that you need; 
the secret to having anything succeed? 
A blanket fort and peppermint pillow mote;

Sea of calm spiked with crimson passion;
If you get high on imagination? 
That’s the turnkey to get inside; 

I dare you to try and break the fire wall
if there’s nothing of childhood you recall; 
Forever locked outside your psyche;

Fragrant aroma that allows you to breathe 
free to rejoin what lies underneath; 
Inhale exhale, roll back in time.

Vintage Tomorrows

The promise land doesn't come turnkey and move in ready
         It's a self-assemble

         New build: customize your own heaven or hell
         Remodel:   Pimp a dinosaur
                          Facelift a grand Dame
                          Restore a Hiroshima
                          An eyesore into a Picasso

         For you can upcycle the pieces of your broken yesterdays
         into vintage tomorrows
         Your bitter blues into your giddiest bliss yet
