"Downpour"
“Downpour” There’s a downpour outside tonight, the kind of cold that clings to the night, Capturing whiskey and faded times embedded into dingy oak bars. Photos of black and white that haunt liquors seemingly colorful times to Bid a welcome to warm liquid that floods the soul as the downpour starts,...

Forbidden Dreams
“But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” - W.B. Yeats “Forbidden Dreams” A sultry summer’s eve when the wind blew ‘round through the house, In perfect tempo with the slow setting of the hot August sun, As the wind...

Missing You
“Missing You” As the twilight fades and my thoughts turn to a memory of you, The warm summer breeze turns into a cold wind that my warming heart can’t thaw, As a cold night surfaces from the recesses of my memory to the present, The intensity of a past moment sets my cooling heart on fire once...

"Nothing Like Reality"
“Nothing Like Reality” I slip and I slide in this caricature course called life that lies in the back of my mind, Slowing down to whisper to echo’s of insanity that step forth as sleep overtakes the night. A slow sunset turns shades of magenta promise coated by enchanted stars and pillowed clouds...

"Slip You a Wink"
Can I open your eyes for a minute, do you think? Maybe grab the color and slip you a wink, I’ve got all night to probe your mind – I know you kinda like the feisty kind. It’s a stranger’s mind that I’m trying to unveil, Body and soul in a cracking shell, The hardest thing is to make you believe That...

"The Glass of Water"
“I didn't know how empty my soul was until it was filled.” --- Excalibur “The Glass of Water” An oak table sits in the sun and glimmers with a sheen of freshly polished wood that sweetens the air, Soaking up the sun that will soon dull the darkened surface and cause wrinkles to warp its skin. Wind...

"Sparkle"
"Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real." -Tupac Shakur “Sparkle” Clear blue diamond in the night skies, Picking out the round, pebbled pieces of a fantasy. Softly in the plump rain the wind sighs, Spinning together a colored cloak of the night’s cool fate. Thunder crashes on the edge of forever, A...

Silence and Death
There are places unknown to the human soul, places where Silence is a graceful place, and Death is just a sound, a face Where life starts to stumble out of control, and then something Happens that makes the facts cold and hard to embrace...

Which Side?
Which side of darkness do you dream on, the lonely side, with bitter hearts and Sad, war-torn cries, echoes cast off a deep divide that slashes and separates Side from side, yours or mine, that tiny little wall of darkness no one knows Is there, until they wake up one night on the other side of the...
