“ BLUE “
RED HAIR DANCED ACROSS HER FACE LIKE FIRE BURNING TREES
RIPS AND HOLES IN FADED JEANS JUST ADDED TO THE TEASE
I PICKED UP THE HITCH HIKING TEEN WE RODE SILENT FOR A WHILE
SHE LOOKED LOST IN THOUGHT THEN I SAW A CROOKED LITTLE SMILE
I ASKED WHAT’S YOUR NAME BUT SHE DIDN’T SAY A WORD
THEN TURNED LOOKED AT ME SAID THE SWEETEST THING I’VE HEARD
BECAUSE YOU RESCUED ME I’LL LEAVE MY NEW NAME UP TO YOU
I’M RUNNING FROM A BROKEN LIFE I NEED TO START ANEW
WELL I DIDN’T EVEN NAME MYSELF SO THIS IS SOMETHING NEW
I’LL TRY AND KEEP IT SHORT I THINK I’LL CALL YOU BLUE
I HOPE YOUR NEW LIFE’S GOOD TO YOU AND HAPPINESS YOU FIND
TAKE YOUR NEW NAME BLUE AND LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND
THAT’S A GREAT NAME SHE SAID I LIKE IT A LOT
NOW MY NAME IS BLUE AND THAT NAME IS ALL I GOT
MY PAST WON’T EVER FIND ME NOW I DIDN’T LEAVE A CLUE
AND IF ANYONE TRIES THEY WON’T BE LOOKING FOR BLUE
SHE SOFTLY SAID IT’S TIME FOR ME AND MY NEW START I HAVE A LOT
TO DO
AND IF I EVER HAVE A SON I MIGHT NAME HIM AFTER YOU
YOU CAN DROP ME OFF HERE SHE SAID THIS LOOKS LIKE A NICE TOWN
I OFFERED TO STOP AND HELP HER LOOK AROUND
NO YOU’VE DONE ENOUGH FOR ME OH AND THANKS AGAIN
SHE SMILED WHEN I SAID GOODBYE AND WAVED TO MY NEW FRIEND

Bill Kapac Poem
“CHARLES DARWIN AND THE JUNKIE”
THE NEEDLE SWIMS INTO MY ARM, LIGHTS FIRE IN MY VIENS
AND FOR THAT MOMENTS PLEASURE I TRADE WHAT SOUL REMAINS
NATURE THINS IT’S OWN HITLER TRIED IT TOO
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST IT AIN’T NOTHING NEW
CHARLES I'M NOT THE STRONGEST BUT I MAY JUST SURVIVE
AND IF I MAKE IT THROUGH THIS HELL IS IT WRONG THAT I'M ALIVE
EVOLUTION WILL NOT SAVE ME NO GOD HOLDS MY HAND
ONLY I CAN HELP ME NOW I THINK YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
THERE’S NO ANGELS FOR ME HERE I’M ALONE TONIGHT
IF I CAN’T BEAT MY DEMONS CHARLES DARWIN YOU WERE RIGHT
I LOOK AROUND FOR HELP THERE’S NO ONE IN SIGHT
SURRENDER COMES TOO EASY I STILL HAVE SOME FIGHT
THE WEAK MAY INHERIT THE EARTH BUT THEY DON’T HAVE IT NOW
SOMEDAY I MAY BELIEVE IF I GET THROUGH SOMEHOW
I HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME I’M IN OVER MY HEAD
I’M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE AND NOT FAR FROM DEAD
CHARLES DARWIN YES I HEAR YOU I KNOW WHAT YOU SAY
BUT YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER WAY
AND SHOULD I SLAY MY DEMONS AND SAY HERE’S WHERE I BELONG
CHARLES DARWIN, CHARLES DARWIN, CHARLES DARWIN YOU WERE WRONG

Bill Kapac Poem
“ SILENT POET ENCLOSED RHYME “
PEN DANCED ACROSS WAITING PAPER, WORDS FLOWED SMOOTHLY AS FINE WINE
EVERY DETAIL MAGNIFIED, SO CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT
AS IF HE FOUND A SECRET, THE WORLD COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT
LIKE A SCRIPTURE CARVED IN SOLID STONE, UNTIL THE END OF TIME
HE SPENT ALL HIS TIME WRITING ALONE, HARDLY HAD A FRIEND
THE DAYS WERE ALL THE SAME, HE RARELY SAW THE SUN
WHEN A POEM WAS FINISHED, ANOTHER JUST BEGUN
TALKED ONLY TO HIMSELF, IN WEIGHTED WORDS HE COULD DEPEND
YEARS FLEW BY TOO QUICKLY, HIS WORK STACKED ON A SHELF
FATE GREETED HIM WITH DIGNITY, A WARMING IN HIS CHEST
A SMILE FOUND HIS WRINKLED FACE, HE HAD GIVEN LIFE HIS BEST
A LIFETIME WORTH OF WORDS, NEVER READ BY ANYONE ELSE
HE PONDEREDED FOR A MOMENT, LAYED DOWN HIS TRUSTY PEN
STARING AT THE NOTEBOOK, FEELING ITS LAST WORD
LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, NEVER TO BE HEARD
HE WOULDN’T NEED IT ANYMORE, HE’D NEVER WRITE AGAIN

Bill Kapac Poem
TAKE ME TO THAT MAGIC PLACE WE USED TO GO
OPEN UP THE HIDDEN DOOR THAT ONLY YOU KNOW
I DRIFT INTO YOUR HONEST EYES KISS YOUR WAITING FACE
WARMTH SURROUNDS MY BODY I’M WELCOME IN YOUR PLACE
I CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND ME TRYING TO STOP TIME
BATHING IN THAT SECRET PLACE IN THE CORNERS OF YOUR MIND

“ TEARDROPS “
A TEARDROP SHINES LIKE A DIAMOND RING
BUT NO SMILES OR GLORY WILL IT BRING
LIKE AN UNWANTED GUEST FEELS OUT OF PLACE
AS EMOTION PAINTS A WAITING FACE

Bill Kapac Poem
“ SHOW “ SONET SHAKESPEARE FORMAT
Her smile so warm and bright my eyes meet hers
New love maybe I hope nature occurs
I pray some way today will be mine
To share and care true love all hers and mine
She saw me stare and flirt she knew my game
But she did not as yet even know my name
I know I had to make my move right now
Heavenly magic words came to me somehow
Yet I’m surprised she did not run away
I had to think how could I make her stay
Because I know there was no time to waste
Nothing I could say now be said in haste
Maybe I said something too soon who knows
Or could it be I did not see it was a show

Bill Kapac Poem
“ STREAMS “
SILENT STREAM FLOWS FREELY UNDER COVER OF THE NIGHT
SWIRLING AND TWIRLING BENEATH SHADOWY MOONLIGHT
FISH GATHERING TOGETHER FROGS SLEEP ALONG THE SHORE
MORNING COMES JUST IN TIME LIKE EVERY DAY BEFORE
TURTLES MOVE ON SLOWLY AS RAPID WATERS FIND THEIR WAY
RIPPLES DANCING ON THE WATER TOO BEAUTIFUL TO STAY
RAINDROPS FEED THE STREAM WET THE THIRSTY RIVER BANKS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN NATURES WAY OF SAYING THANKS
SUN RAYS STREAMING DOWN CUTTING THROUGH THE CLOUDS
SHINE LIKE A THOUSAND DIAMOND RINGS COVERING WET GROUND
WARMTH STREAMS THROUGH MY BODY SEEING AN OLD FRIEND
TIME WITH SOMEONE I CAN BE MYSELF NOT HAVING TO PRETEND
THOUGHTS STREAMING THROUGH THE MIND AS IDEAS PAVE THE WAY
BUILDING ON THE PROMISES THAT WE MAKE TODAY
MUSIC STREAMING IN THE ELEVATOR AND THROUGHOUT THE STORE
OLD FAMILIAR SONGS MAKE YOU WANT FOR MORE
CHANGE NEVER ENDS TIME GOES MARCHING ON
ALL THAT’S NEW TODAY MAY SOMEDAY BE GONE
PEOPLE STREAMING CROWDED SIDEWALKS CARS CRUISING DOWN THE
ROAD
EVERYONE PREOCCUPIED CARRYING THEIR OWN LOAD
LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST THINGS YOU CAN’T CONTROL
MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STAND WHEN IT’S EASIER TO FALL
SWIMMING IN THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS WHERE QUESTIONS
COME ALIVE
NOT KNOWING ALL THE ANSWERS UNTIL THEY ARRIVE

“ FIGHTING FOR LOVE “
V-1 SO WITHOUT A CHANCE I TOOK MY STANCE FIGHTING TO THE END
AND IF THEY CHOOSE THAT I LOSE I WILL JUST PRETEND
IT’S SO MUCH MORE THAN A CHORE I WILL RISE ABOVE
THE MOMENTS MINE NOW’S MY TIME I’M FIGHTING FOR LOVE

Bill Kapac Poem
“ VICIOUS VIOLINS “
VOICES FROM SOMEWHERE I’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE
HARMONY FLOWS SMOOTHLY MAKES ME WANT FOR MORE
IT MUST BE ANGELS SINGING FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
THE WORDS SWEET AS HONEY SOUNDING JUST LIKE LOVE
LIKE A MAGIC CHIOR UNDER COVER OF THE NIGHT
DANCING FINGERS HITTING EVERY NOTE JUST RIGHT
HIPNOTIC VIBRATIONS LAY A WARM SPELL ON ME
SUREAL SWIRLING SOUNDS SET MY SOUL SO FREE
THEN TEMPO RISES QUICKLY LIKE A SCARED SCREATCHING OWL
BLAZING ELECTRIC GUITARS TRY TO KEEP UP SOMEHOW
SPARKS FLY OFF THE BOWS IN AN INSRUMENTAL FIGHT
AS VIOLENT VIOLINS SET FIRE TO THE NIGHT
THE EXPLOSION OF CONFUSION QUICKLY PULLS ME IN
AS SOUNDS OF SALVATION HAVE NOW TURNED TO SIN
MY WAITING EARS ASAULTED THE SOUND I’M WAITING FOR
THE MELLOW SOOTHING MUSIC I WILL HEAR NO MORE
