Liquid Senses

Another unwanted
passes through memories
down mundane streets 
suburbs undaunted

available liquid pass
tempted nostril senses
youth invaded stolen by
unpure pretenses

soft like shreds of life
tears of laughter
preserve treads
to a childhood lost to
hereafter

Dignity

across rooms gust strong winds
emptiness without formed cracks

shook narrow confines
from the darkness within

indeff,rent,rent songs
nostalalqiques dreams
attentive inhumane screams
desire to belong

to accept dignity
speak sweet
accept defeat and
smile throu tormented peace.

Misty Dawn

sweetest heart
forever loved
death can not tear us apart 
guiding wind
unsung songs
forever kind
in my heart you 
you will always
    belong
i miss you everyday
without you my 
world is blue
i love you true
my  precious child

Alien Queen

it,s halloween
my canteen is full of caffeine
my cuisine is green jelly beans  filled with vaccine
i,m a alien queen trying to fit  into earth,s,s tight 
belly button jeans hope the paramedics are on site
if i make any sudden moves
what a confusing scene
i,m so betwichen cute and bewitching mean
earth,s little beast are pitching
me on a time machine sending me
far far away oh what a scream to miss the candy bar feast
what a    bad dream
this alien queen won,t cry  just grab  
my canteen and jelly bean sack fly away
but you earthly  beast better beware i will be back
to try once again
see you soon just look at the moon
next halloween day

The Fat Man and His Strings

he;s a leader 
he,s a stealer
he,s fat from taking
what,s not his

he has puppets who do his 
dirty work not caring who suffers
he holds his gut and secretly
calls them his faithful
he stole from the wrong one
now he,s roasting in the coals
and his puppets tried  and tried
but  no matter how hard they cry
the bell now rings
and on his strings they  fly

American Soldier

heaven patiently watches
the American soldier
from beyond this life
as his  wife cries and his brave son waves goodbye
father holds his mother as she prays ( god  keep my son safe)
the American soldier
so far  from home
you will never march alone
so brave
trying not to be afraid
as he fights  for all the world's rights
the American soldier

the American soldier
may angels surround
you ever 
second of day
and night as we pray

heaven watches and the 
American soldier stands high
in God;s  grace
we ask God please protect  our American soldier
and keep in safety,s sight,
 shield our american soldier within  god;s greatest light
shield our american soldier
with god;s greatest light
shield our american soldier in god;s greatest light
shield our american soldier
with god;s greatest light
shield our american soldier
with god;s greatest light

Mayday World

we are afraid
we are underpaid
minimum wage 
has  put us all at prison gates,there is no safe financial aid
for the working poor
they make sure we can,t get through the door

mortgages get  all our pay
our life;s are in a dismay
credit lead us astray
hidden rates  ,late fees,
banks will not sway
government  let,s it be
the world is in a mayday
it,s time to raise
minimum wages
everything else has increased
raise the wages and freeze
the late fees, high interest rate
free us from this robbery
we are calling now for decreases
eliminate   and open the gates 
we had no choice
we could not survive
now they are causing  people there lifes , it has to stop

Seasons of Time

the tree shivers as
the rain drops fall
the  leaves shimmer
and not a drop of pain is exchanged
the leaves began to color
a sight to  see
so beautiful to me
then the leaves wither and drop and mother earth is 
covered with a crop of white snow bringing   joy                 
to a child,s heart

soon spring returns
children leave their winter dins
and began to run
and play and i hear a voice say that,s the way
it,s suppose to be soon summer arrives
sunny flowers in bloom
all of winter,s dark gloom gone
the seasons change, all are the same
yet different,seasons in a name 
the voice tells me that,s how
it is suppose to be

Dandelion Rubble

darkness traveling underground
rolling skies rumbling in the night
lighting piercing splintered hearts
trees ripped apart 
thunder with in the light
buildings tumbling down
hurried winds blowing
fraigle breezes around
dandelion rubble
next winds
declares trouble
rumbling down
bodies scattered about
in a lifeless sight

Confusion Squeals

thoughts   completely unbidden
burst  beyond consious moments
struggling times overwhelm
threating normal dephts unhidden 

dream  like  haze
unnoticed surface sounds
completely mocking maze
deathlike ressurection abounds

where innocent despair rains
notions squalor admist pain
embittered rattling
betwixt cuddled minds 
battling bemuddled ideals     
 confusion squeals
