ASK JOB There are no rewards for living No medals for being alive. Each day we do what we need to do To survive. In the scheme of things Years of happiness are few But those are the years we must hold on to And make this all worth while. We are a flame burning high into Heaven’s sky But the years...

OVER THE RAINBOW Over the rainbow we fly Colors red, yellow, blue and green A gift of the mind Fantasy and Imagination Hope and dreams. We survive our reality This unforgiving and imperfect Humanity On wings of how things could be. Opiate for the soul The spirit The heart. The child in us An...

EVEN HOUDINI NEVER MADE IT BACK Can love be just a passsing thought A temporary deep life-time connection In the matrix of Eternity That dies with the brain As jealousy, hate, fear, pain Or soul Once the heart and body grow cold. Are we molecules and neurons on the run When this venue is over and...

FIELDS OF LAVENDER A Memory Lavender waves Purple and blue Swaying lazily In the wind of a Summer’s day. I walked alone on that country road The one that led to Avignon. The fire of the Mistral Broke the morning chill As it swept over the lavender hill From across the African sea. Alone I walked...

TANTALUS An existential or ontological metaphor [Depends on how you read it ] I can taste the sparkling colors Dancing in the stream They tease and tantalize me., One step away and I am there One step away and I am nowhere. I feel phantom waters cool my face And soothe my soul. I suffer for an...

BACK HOME I want to go back to where I was born End my days In the home where I was raised. But now Only ghosts live there. Lost scenes of yesterdays No love to hold me close No childhood innocence No one left to know Who I am. Where did they all go. How did the present become the past So quickly....

ICY WATERS Icy waters Pure and clean Rushing down a mountain stream Sparkling diamonds in sunlight Over shards of rock and stone Furious in their fight To reach their goal Into Ocean’s or River’s deep. Melting peacefully into One Where they sleep Eternally Never to return from where they come. The...

APOCALYPSE: A DIVINE FANTASY Horses shining black Indigo Transluscent Raging on the run Across a moonless sky Hooves of steel Striking fire in velvet night. Angels in flight Screaming In Execlso Deo The Four come riding in On the midnight wind As it was told In Revelations. Heaven’s insanity No pity...

IT AIN’T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS Hold back the Beast That holds you And Understand it is part of who You are now. You have become. We change each day Nature’s way We are an imperfect divinity Feathers in the wind of chance and serendipity. Look to the sun Bathe in its ight Its energy. Rapture...

THE HUMANITY OF MAN There is So they tell me Beauty and sublimity In pain and suffering Only if It forges the soul To understand The humanity of Man. Heaven’s gift So they say. Yet what I know is wasted time Wasted years To live for others vicariously. No sense of connection. Broken by betrayal and...
