Autumn In Our City, City In Our Autumn

Our sun is weak
In efforts to fill up our sky today
It’s bleak, a softness of gray marches in
Blanketing our forecast
Mild autumn, cool breeze	
Peaceful, rolling low
Dead leaves sweeping around
New pavement cracking ground
An acoustic dance they tap
Out comes a rustling beat
Chasing one another gracefully
Down our city streets
Boisterous hoards of vehicles
Slither and hiss
Creeping their way through
Our city grid
Every so often
Muscular trumpet engines, become outdone

Let’s revert to a momentary handsome jungle scene
Watch and listen with care
As we relish an obtuse family of king elephant’s, trembling 
Warring a melancholy parade
Through mothers natural bad lands
Hammering earths ground 
With their massive bone crunching feet
Wake up; shake off your visionary nod
Back to the sounds, back to the sights
Back to our tender autumn city nights

A Bass filled honorable horn
Explodes and stretches
Out from an engine train
Vividly flexible slithering through our city
Bouncing off buildings, rolling down alleys
Sliding down rooftops, through slivered windows
Into our homes
As I sit back and observe
This miraculous painting
Of a finely stroked autumn day
I fall in love with the sights and sounds
Which bark and cruise upon her canvas spread
Graceful or not
Beautiful and ugly
Spills or mishaps
O thou spices of our lives
Beauty has been splashed
Upon this land, mighty grand
Even to a family of three or four
So small a note
To the makeup of her….masterpiece composer
Are we grateful? Are we selfish full of lingering lust?
A low storm hungry,
Rolling over grand mountains
Nearly black, pushing east
A shimmering assault of rain shall be released
Once her sky opens up
Like soldiers Para jumping
From a gang of war planes
I render it’s still a bit to warm
For a christening of our seasons first snow
I guess…… you never know
The wildness that can bleed out of our autumn city streets
As we plant future angelic seeds

Erotic Waltz

Waltz with me my dear
Under a majestic silver moon, gleaming
Listen... stars chimming 
Like erotic summer humming birds, singing
Your delicate breath tender upon my kneck 
Gives me an overfllow of chills
Your spell is gilded and high in beauty
Hold me and I will hold you 
Our new found galaxy is vibrant
Intoxicating, an elaborate silence 
Of comfort tickles us down the river bend of love
Amongst a unknown hour of night fall
We cherrish each crush of love with a kiss, moist lips
Another true romance 
We hold in our palms 
Can you hear our hearts beat in sequence 
Can you feel your pulse rise 
While we dream of some immaculate lover 
Growing deep inside 
Our forest dense and curious to find the truth 
The myth of love and life 
Is there such a dream strong enough 
To hold eachother by?

Mother Torture

FRANTIC, RUN 
DOWN THE HALLS OF LIFE 
LISTEN TO THE WALLS SPEAK 
TESTIMONY RELAPSES 
OUT FROM THE PAINTINGS
CANDLES VAGUELY LIGHT OUR VISION
I WISH I HAD A HAND TO HOLD
FEAR RUSHES IN WITH THE SCREAM 
OF GHOST ATTEMPTING TO TACKLE 
OUR FRANTIC RUNNING 
RUN, RUN GET THROUGH THIS HELL 
MOTHER TORTURE 
ERASE THIS DREAM I HAVE FALLEN INTO
PLEASE !!!!!

Spring Sting

In early showers of spring
Fields ripen as willows throw a gentle ring
Snakes witness to ravens beaming stealth
Hearty gossip thrills are wilderness with wealth
We play in small remote ponds of mud 
Dance and run into the sun
Can you feel its blushing sting

In Red

Am I alone?
On da streets shivering cold
My thoughts and hopes growing old
I have nothing else that can be sold

Am I alone?
In depressing times
I drink from satans fragrant wine
Sleeping alone a personal crime

Walking, dreaming, 
Copulate a grand plan for escape
Out of this tunnel 
Burried deep
Under the sands of frosted earth
I want the scent of flowers 
Laced over me 

I am alone
On da streets shivering old
My thoughts and hopes growing cold
I have nothing else that can be told

I am alone
In depressing mind
I drink from satans fragrant crime
Sleeping alone a personal time

Walking, dreaming, 
Copulate a grand plan for escape
Out of this tunnel 
Burried deep
Under the sands of frosted earth
I want the scent of flowers 
Laced over me 

In my garden I rest and create my death bed 
Paint my life crimson red
The end......

Not Yet Roses

My core being is tired
Drained, exhausted
Where can I rest?
Recharge, sleep
Inject my vitamin
Warmth, revitalized
A burst of soulful sun
Inside, passion
A sense of well being?
Is there any truth to that?
Mother will I be ok?
In my darkness I try not to rot
Maybe a new friend
Affection, sweetness
Can I hold you?
A movie, a ride
Flowers yes not yet roses
Sorry tulips first
A kiss
Gentle dance 
Under a quilt
A smile
Explore, search for oblivion
Alone early sunday morning
Let's move 
Leave Colorado
How about Vegas?
Big dreams, grand hopes
Girls dance on tightropes
I want
I want to drive
Rent a small place
Black curtains
A television, radio, typewriter
Write a novel together
Soak our brains
In a creative frontier
Rich dynamic climax
With out a plot!
