It Never Stops
There’s nothing at all that I’m needing
and little that I’m wanting,
no tasks I find too daunting~~
but the world is bleeding.
The hungry near and far need feeding;
the homeless

Diesel In The Morning
Daddy drove a truck
I'm a trucker's son
I'll be driving eighteen wheelers
'til my trucking days are done
Momma lives for trucks
looking good under the hood
born in a cab
I have trucking in the blood
and it takes air brakes truck stops
weigh stations too
pedal to the metal
coming on through
fired up wired up shifting gears
running on caffeine
it's music to my ears
I

Till The Music Stops
Learn to Fandango
castanet in your hand
Tambourine calling
its bells to command
Dance every Tango
before it’s too late
Death in the offing
— the wolf at the gate

Time Stops for No One but Me
Captured like an old black and white
Raptured from all this plight
I cling onto hemp rope ever so tight
Wicked is the lonely in the night
Longevity ain't what it used to be
I'm still waiting for that scientific breakthrough:
A pill to keep me young and not just to keep me up
At night, the dream dancer awaits my curtsied

Time Stops For No One
Gazing into the mirror, tears streaming down my cheeks. Not understanding what's happening. A child of eight, maybe ten staring back. Why me?
I had chosen to live isolated from humanity, deep in the Appalachian mountains. Society had become too corrupt. I trusted no one. My friends, all gone. My family disowned me - a freak,

Time Stops For No One
Someone stuck in the tunnel
dug in the desolate desert of deprivation,
doesn’t know what conceived in notion
constitutes the rationale of the thing
people of perception define
as the art of living, etched by elusive mirage,
in the free ambit of lively sunshine,
flooding the oasis of sanguinity.
Survival struggle pushes desperately
the languished life into the dark

Time Stops for No One
Relentless is the march of time*
It flits on and on without respite,
For none does it stop for a while
Like earth

What to Do If A Friend Stops Reading You
What a fool, you were, taken for a ride!
It’s a lesson to learn, protect your own hide.
They had great a time, using your emotions.
Grow up, make absolutely no commotions.
God has a new friend, already on their way.
Stop snivelling, get on your knees and pray!
So, if they did this to you, smile, you are blessed.
A friend

In a corner of thought, where time stops to catch its breath
In a corner of thought, where time stops to catch its breath,
I felt how your dreamlike touch envelops my being,
Coming from a world where reality is woven with threads of light,
Where stars are sisters and the moon is an old friend, whispering secrets to you.
You descended, an unearthly miracle, like a ray slipping through the

Traffic Safety
Leaving your family at home,
Having no sleep…. you roam!
Know your speed and signs;
Invaluable are people’s spines!
Be attentive at turns and stops;
Avoid needless entry of cops!

the clock never stops
The clock never stops
Car crashes happen
Babies are born
People fall in love and die in hospitals
Grandparents divorce each other
The world keeps going
Through sorrow and suffering
The clock never stops

Starts and stops
Whatever
Seems to happen
Happens emptily..
Empty expressions of
Starts and stops..
The starts and stops
Tell the stories
Of longing and
Discovery arising
Spontaneously...

The Cricket Stops
Hollow people masquerade
Down lonesome roads full of rock and bones
Never finding what they don’t know
they’re searching for…
Under the silent moon the cricket stops
Leaving the table too soon
The blood drops
Hollow people start to fade
Reality drifts farther away
Burning desires- sparks ignite fires
Wayward traveler moving on
Tried to say goodbye, but I’m already gone

When love stops
Leave
before
love turns sad
in the same bed.
Differently dreams
don't move old beats
when love stops
feelings
in.
