The Masters Touch

The Masters Touch



sweet child, catch a firefly

and gaze upon its beauty,



see it shine and echo

of heaven's divine touch



for its life is a sweet sign

of the master's vivid glory

Sweet Like Honey

Sweet Like Honey 

lips like 
honey, 

just call 
me 

sweet 
taster... 

the busy 
bee

Mechanical Imaginations

Mechanical Imaginations

you say, time travel, as if
we could somehow bend

all that was or ever will be -
mechanical imaginations

perhaps crying crystals 
or lit aligning alchemy...

though whichever way we
would come at such ideas

we're clueless whenever it 
pertains to warping waves

besides we'd be tampering 
with nature and bloodlines 

not to mention how our big
egos fancy us gods already

Dented Aluminum

Dented Aluminum 

once, kick the can was a lovely
game to play, but not nowadays

as shiny cellphones and prized
handheld games govern the day, 

what a heavy price we will pay,
dented aluminum decays away

our alumni cry out their tired eyes
as hourly the ozone melts, always

The Meaning of Music

The Meaning of Music



feel the music move you

its a rumbling from within



and it affects us rightfully

in good and bad ways



sometimes it heals

and other times it hinders



as we grow to listen

for some spoken meaning

Only Solitary Man

Only Solitary Man

there is a madman hiding amongst
the hills and those scattered tombs, 

he's the perfect host for much shame
and his soul's the plaything of minion

accursed he cannot be bound by chains
but still he's a slave to confusion, insane 

until one day he received the greatest gift
from the only solitary man offering hope...

Christ redeemed him and washed him anew
then sent the man to proclaim his freedoms

The Lavender Scent

The Lavender Scent
 
dearest, do the walls crawl
with many sutile fingerprints...
 
sweet one, does the air hold
tightly upon the lavenders scent...
 
honey child, is it the waft of the spirit
that causes us so much closeness...
 
alls I really know is I'd rather
never be letting you go, stay angel

Louse Minded

Louse Minded

 

spinning wildly,

my mind's a madhouse,

 

going into thought

and racing all about

 

nothing's too sane within

the brain of a numbed louse

Idiots

IDIOTS 

I never claimed any form, so 
Don't lie and say 
I ever did... 
Or make believe 
To stated genius, either 
So help me God
