2011 - Day 273

Things in the past are like
A plate that's shattered to pieces,
You can never put it back together
Like it was.
Sweep the dust
And shattered fragments,
Beyond the witching hour,
No turning back,
But just a glance,
Emit an echoing flower.

29.9.11

2011 - Day 272

Twice now I've seen you here,
Gliding delicately
Without a care,
Our eyes then lock
My heart then stops
I don't ever want to look away.
Who are you, whats your story?
The only thoughts
Bounce through my head,
A serendipitous event,
I want to know you,
Please tell me when
The next chance I'll have
To run into you again.

2011 - Day 271

Eternity stands on the edge of time,
Peering into the crystal ball of life
Watching, listening,
As the past devours the future,
The present unbeknownst to man,
The singularity of a moment
Existing only as a concept
First in anticipation
To then exist as a memory.
To truly touch the now,
Exist outside the confines of time
A state of Nirvana,
A feeling Sublime.

27.9.11

2011 - Day 270

I'm off on an adventure,
To wield my sword in flurries,
I'll tell you where I'm going
I'll tell you some of my stories,
The way the dragons burn the land,
The singed and parched civilians,
To fight and duel till winter's end
I'll probably kill a million.
Half a nit wit, mostly dense,
He rides his horse flipped round,
But he makes a great servant
And packs muscle pound for pound.
So on an adventure now I go
To save this ungrateful land,
And when I return I expect nothing more
Than to lie nude in the sand.

26.9.11

2011 - Day 269

My undefeated ways are done,
Just one now leads the pack,
His team is strong
So sing along
As I crouch low to attack.
A friend he is
A Grandberry
But this is all out war,
His team is the best
So might I suggest
When it rains it also might poor.
Patiently wait
Until week eight,
A SLO town Halloween,
We'll face off then
It's Holslag vs Benz
A fantasy football dream.

2011 - Day 268

Record spins round
The music plays loud
We all stand around
Boy what a crowd,
I take off my pants
Cos their swarming with ants
Now watch real close
As I start to break dance.
No one cares
The just stand there
No hands in the air
They just stare and stare
Till I'm well aware
I've got no underwear
And that was the last time I went to a high school party.

2011 - Day 267

I take the painting off the wall
And throw it towards the ground,
It shatters right in front of her
With a loud explosive sound.
We stand there for a while now
And stare at one another,
I'm the one who smiles first
Then she laughs as hard as ever.
We start to take more paintings down,
We toss them everywhere,
The walls the floor the fireplace too
Me and her make quite the pair.
And when we're done we walk outside
The ground's shadows shine by moon light,
We disappear into the mist
Will we come back? We might.

2011 - Day 266

My toe fungus grows humungous
Up into the sky,
Little creatures whittle features
On it's moldy side.
I won't just sit cos I don't trust it
A living breathing shame,
I drive to the mine arrive just in time
The yellow canary game.
I volunteer (said Paul Revere)
And down and down I zoom,
When I touch down there is not much now,
I light a match and BOOM.

2011 - Day 265

A hundred more
A hundred more
One hundred more to go,
Day in day out,
No matter what,
A poem I must show.
Most times I work on them at night
Quite rare by the light of the sun,
Takes notes on my phone
Sit at my desk all alone
Even so it is still somewhat fun.
It takes a lot of effort though
Sometimes it seems like a chore,
I want them to be great
So that nobody hates
Though that's not at all what they're for.

2011 - Day 264

A man inspired me today,
He told me all the things to say-
When in a crunch or in a jam,
Whenever I dislike a plan,
When she says turkey but I want ham,
Whenever I must shear a lamb,
When I am told to sever a hand,
Whenever I play Candyland,
When my friend wants to join a band,
Whenever I go back to Grand,
When I find out my life's a sham,
I'm pretty sure I'll know what to say.

2011 - Day 263

I walk into a room and
They all stare,
I can't help it,
it's just the way I am.
I swing my hips slowly and
Stride to the front
Of the line,
They give me cutsies
As they stare,
I can't help it,
It's just the way I am.
I order two of their finest and
Shoot a glance at her
And her and her and her,
My eyes a six shooter
Bullets of ecstasy
Straight through their hearts
As they stare,
I can't help it,
It's just the way I am.
As I turn to leave, she calls out to me and
I stop and slowly turn,
Eyes lock on eyes,
She opens her mouth to speak but
All that is produced is a moan
And a tremble,
I turn again
With smiles on my face,
The doors swing open
As they stare,
I can't help it,
It's just the way I am.

19.9.11

2011 - Day 262

The Sleague of Extraordinary Gentlemen,
Exclusive to those who love SLO,
Two weeks have gone by
As we all try to try
So far we've all seen quite the show.
The standings portray a wide bell curve,
Three teams at the head of the bunch,
Six more in the middle
Last three feeling little
As they lost all their games with a crunch.

18.9.11

2011 - Day 261

So very close
So far away
We had the lead
It could not stay,
And now we sit
In disbelief
Another loss
An Autumn leaf,
If only just
For one whole season
To give us hope
To give us reason,
Instead this one's
Just like the last
Look to the future
Not to the past.

2011 - Day 260

I strike my target with full force
I never blink my eyes,
Green blades of grass the comet's tail
How beautifully she flies.
My weapon sends it to the moon,
Across the Milky Way,
Straight into a small black hole
And that is where she'll stay.

2011 - Day 259

Inside a turtles shell I sit,
Tired and alone,
Recouping in my own seclusion
I try and find my zone,
Omniscient glow the walls do show
An eerie light sets in,
And high above there flies a dove
She searches for her friend.
She passes by and then I sigh
The light begins to fade,
The turtles shell has cast a spell
Now I must drink Kool Aid.

2011 - Day 258

Coffee beans roasting,
Aromas kick brain patterns into hyper drive,
I watch it all through tired eyes.
Tells the body to move along,
Rhythmic repetition -
The foot pushes the pedal towards a destination,
Sleepy lungs to sing a song,
Less of driving, more of coasting,
When it's over
Raise up for toasting,
And then we'll do it again.

14.9.11

2011 - Day 257

A poem of a song that's from a movie that was true,
A glacier sprouts from icy depths out far in the deep blue,
A mismatched dance upon a ship in much more ways than one,
It shouldn't be it couldn't be their hearts are just to young,
It doesn't matter both don't care they know it's meant to be,
Captive for now but when they dock their hearts will be set free,
And while it sinks an icy death their hearts do meld together,
Though he is gone she won't let go the heart goes on forever.

13.9.11

2011 - Day 256

Goodbye my friend
For a while at least,
I wish you good luck
Hope you rise high like yeast,
A new dawn awaits you
Time to meet brand new faces,
I've no doubt at all
That you'll beat all life's races,
The next time we meet
It will be extra fun,
Whether on Hallow's Eve
Or music under the sun,
I'm glad that we worked, lived and raged it up hard,
Those memories are all highlighted and starred,
I hope that this journey implodes you with joy,
Make the most of it LO - kung hei fat choi!!!

2011 - Day 255

IT'S OVER
Well it's mostly done,
But then again
Had too much fun,
The lights and views and people too,
The sights and crews that we unglued,
I can't imagine anything
As preposterous as thus,
To think of all the time that flew,
The journey is a must.
While I know it can wait awhile,
It's just my way, it's just my style,
The words of Andor, wise and guile,
Lions can't eat crocodile.

2011 - Day 254

Check the schedules and turn on the games,
Order two tall margaritas,
Watch all the players - the rooks and big names,
Be sure to tip all senioritas.
The screens are so big you can watch them all sweat,
The fans all scream loudly around you,
At the end of the games the good coaches get wet,
The scores that you guessed did not come true.
The day finally ends, a sigh of relief,
Time to waddle back to the craps table,
The Niners did win but they still gave you grief,
But you don't give a damn like Clark Gable.

2011 - Day 253

Being blind
Without
Being blind
A very peculiar notion,
Dreaming mind
Within
Dreaming mind
I drank the magical potion.

2011 - Day 252

Just 6 words to say it all,

I'll catch you before you fall.

2011 - Day 251

Fear the man with the feathered hat,
His eyes like deep black holes,
He wanders the nights looking for stray cats
So that he can make flutes with their souls.
Pity the man who speaks to the cats,
He limps and is on the dull side,
Powerless to stop the feathered hat man
He just prays that the cats have nine lives.

7.9.11

2011 - Day 250

Heaven is gonna wait,
I'm having too much fun,
My appointment will be late,
I live under the sun.

Every day I get a present,
Presented presently,
Treasure each and ever moment,
Live continuously.

2011 - Day 249

The breeze directs the wind that flows gently through your hair,
With ease dissect the grin that grows immensely without care,
A tease does trick and win with those intentional soft stares.

2011 - Day 248

Slowly return from the caverns below
Taking so long and traveling slow,
The dark red blood flows steadily now,
Thinning back up then slowing back down,
So much further to reach the end,
And then a little bit more,
A couple of days of leisure and sleep
Then drilling right back to the core.

2011 - Day 247

A day of cruising in the Old Town,
Large yellow birds and dirty striped refs,
We did search the strip and guess what was found,
Coins and sharks and the stealer of bets.
Hanging by a sliver, hanging at the pool,
Lucky coin of silver, taking them to school.
A liquid hot day,
A spicy hot night,
Exploring the seas,
There's so much to find!

2011 - Day 246

The heart of the Lion,
Wrapped in slabs of bacon,
Dipped in peanut butter,
We all be cup cakin'.
The dawn did bring
Two cars of four,
Together now
Forever more.
A balance this magnificent
Calls for celebration,
Cheers to all an hour long
Immense profound elation.

2.9.11

2011 - Day 245

Eve of a memory
Remembered by our group,
No one else will share it but
We may give them the scoop.
Time to go,
Time to ride,
We'll see you soon,
TO BE ALIVE!!

2011 - Day 244

Drink from the cup that
She put into your hand,
Listen to the song that
Is floating from the band,
The melodies together,
Her voice with bass and drum,
Vibrations down your spine that
Make your mind go numb.
