History Never Dies

With a squint of an eye my heart skips its beat
Beneath roots leaves and trees
Hides what Mother reclaimed

Your So Smart

If intelligence was a bright color,
You'd be Brown

A Father's Love

I remember back when you were young
Mid day just a little after One,
You filled a void buried deep in my heart
then I swore that I'd always be there,
next thing I knew you were running to me
now it seems that you're reading to me,
Then I hear you say to me
Then I hear you say

Hey Dad I love you so
I really don't want you to go,
I know it's hard out on the road
so I wrote you a note,
It says,
Remember that I love you so
I'll always be your baby girl,
Love forever Daddy's Angel

Once again I'm heading out
down another lonesome road,
Though I'm miles and miles away
I can still see your smile,
Everyday I'm counting down
till the highway brings me home,

Where I'll hear you say to me,
Where I'll hear you say

Hey Dad I love you so
I really don't want you to go,
I know it's hard out on the road
so I wrote you a note,
It says,
Remember that I still love you so
I'll always be your little girl,
Love forever Daddy's Angel

Homeward Bound

Burnt rubber
from grinding gears
awaken mine nostrils

Thickened fog
'pon darkened roads
embrace my sight

Four smiles leads a path
distance fades
as forty tons push me down Forty

Soumis

A zipper climbs
as leather tightens,
'Pon thy knees awaits
Le Soumis

Shadows From the Walls

And I watched
as my shadow evolved,
Fear overcame 
as it crept up on me

The Man Upstairs

'Pon thy throne
He sits in wait

"Son"

He says 

"In time, he finds his way"

Then smiles as He clears the path
that leads back home

Waiting Is the Hardest Part

Prying eye's
with patient minds
wait for time

A drizzle here
trickle there
'pon my floor,
Red HI-C

Inept

Wake up man!

Don't you want to be
all alone,
Find yourself
withered in denial,
Don't you have to be
by yourself,
on your own,
Broke down inside it's
what you wanted,
Believing in nothing
lifeless 
useless,
Inept, 
So worthless
Find your way

Once again!

Don't you see it?
You're nothing,
Empty,
Vacant!
Can't you feel it?
You're hated,
Dismissed!
Pointed at
frowned upon
looked down at,
Forgotten!
Stricken from memory
left unspoken!
Inept,
So worthless
on your way!

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone!

Now Leave Me Alone!
