To touch your soul in a warm embrace,
I miss your laugh, your voice, your face.
The way you used to look at me,
So full of joy, so full of peace.
My Guardian Angel, by my side,
With you I never have to hide,
Face the world with confidence,
Please give to me good common sense,
Will tackle any obstacle,
Whether I run fast, or hobble slow.
All good things come to an end
So, for now, farewell my friend.
Remembrance not far away,
Forever in my heart you'll stay.

A room with four walls,
No door to escape,
The walls all stark white,
A perfect cube shape.
You sit in the middle,
You try to remember,
When did you get here?
Was it June or December?
Memories blurry
Forget who you are,
You concede your demise
Your heart-fire charred.
They locked you away,
Forever and more,
The reason unknown,
No hope to implore.
Slowly start melting
Right into the ground,
No fire or pain,
In this room there's no sound.
Your body wax melting,
Nothing to be done,
Existence not cube shaped
So you start having fun.
You wiggle your fingers,
They melt off your hand,
Breathe stale air deeply
Lungs flow like quicksand.
Lie down on your back
Now one with the floor,
Evaporate quickly,
Leave only your core.
A bubbling mess
Is all that is left,
Till you open your eyes,
And to your surprise-
Clock reads six forty five,
A new day - time to rise.

Stare into the reflecting puddle,
Introduce yourself to him.
Of separate paths to destiny,
A race where only one can win.

Stillness within
Our peaceful mind,
Heart a mellow fire,
Peppermint breeze
Through the old oak trees,
We climb higher and higher.
Waiting for the rising sun,
Warms our bones
The next one comes,
The cycle never tires.
Brings with it
The hope of man,
Continues to
Brighten the land,
The reason for tomorrow.

To forgive is to release the pain
From your soul,
To see from another perspective
Other than your own,
Understanding,
While not agreeing or accepting,
Just understanding,
Expressing yourself through love,
As you might hope for forgiveness
From above,
To forgive is to hear an apology,
Know that it's wrapped in sincerity,
Anger feeds anger fuels the fire,
Extinguish the flames
Before only scars remain.

Think about it-
Can't live without it.
Use your brain,
Inside your head,
Figure it out,
Hear what I said?
More like a game,
The answer so close,
Play 20 questions
Need seven at most.
Try to buy time,
Work those mind muscles,
Times running out fast
Discover the puzzle!
Clues all around you
Day to day scenes,
All over the ground,
Up high in the trees,
Is it birds and the bees?
Or air that we breathe?
Don't call it quits
You're just about there,
It happens right when
The world all shares,
And helps mend the tears,
To lend out a spare,
When everything's fair,
When everyone cares.
Just
Think about it.

Hope floats upstream,
A constant current in the clouds,
More than what is seen,
Pushed to the brink of eternity,
Injected to diminish the doubts.
We rise above,
See further the light within all,
To find the Love,
Searching for all eternity,
No matter how hard we fall.
Protect your own,
Family, sunlight to our souls,
You've only one home,
An unbreakable bond for eternity,
Together we are whole.

Freedom-
Believe in it,
Aspire to,
He's always got
His eye on you.
Follow your heart,
You will be freed,
He watches both
Good and bad deeds.
You love your life,
Hold all that's dear,
He listens close,
Can always hear.
When the times comes,
You must decide,
Whether or not
You will survive
For he is they,
And they are us,
And we are you,
In God we trust.

Broken wings,
Repaired by the tears of time,
Solemnly rests in Darkness--
Have and fear it lost,
Have not and there is no 'mine',
Nothing more to find,
When the world becomes heartless.

Where the music flows gently,
Where no dance floor is empty,
Where the laughter echos off the moon-
There,
Shared on a warm summer's eve.
Where the women are flirty,
Where no man is dirty,
Where the love rows down the river-
There,
Shared on a warm summer's eve.
Where the hammocks have rhythm,
Where all eyes reflect prisms,
Where the senses experience life-
There,
Shared on a warm summer's eve.
Where the butterfly's flock to,
Where the white rabbits hop to,
Where nature connects us all-

Art is particular
Selective in it's ways,
Seduce the masses quickly
Find the one who got away.
It grows inside us all
A flower on verge of blossom,
Nourish the creative seed
Go from 'good' to 'AWESOME'.
Try it once or a thousand times
Or tell yourself you don't care,
Or try it one hundred and eighty two times
And here we stand,
Halfway there.

Dark side of the moon,
A land that's filled with shadows,
Where dreamers go explore,
Beyond the sleepy hallows.
Dig deep through alien earth,
Questions may be answered,
A key unlocks a door,
There stands the lonely dancer.
In this unlit room,
All shadows get to play,
The sun their only foe,
In this land the night is day.
Deeper still
There lies the truth
Where we began
Eternal youth
In the wrong hands
The secret's loose
So covered back up
The chamber of Zeus.

Iron the last shirt you'll wear,
Shut out from the world large,
Face your enemy, feel his stare.
Grip the steel, hold nothing back,
Your country, your family, your honor,
If you don't, then he'll attack.
Strike first, aim for the heart,
No turning back from your destiny,
Finish what the others did start.
No end in sight, nowhere close,
You'll die alone, left to rot,
This is the life you chose.
Your last moments, with your friends,
Warriors, all, protecting all that's 'good',
Worth it all, in the end?

The single kiss
That did me in
That took away my freedom,
It fogged my brain
From common sense
Replaced with a facade kingdom.
Chemicals
They rush around
A frantic pheromone frenzy,
A zombie of love
A one minded track,
I don't see what my friends see.
They try to shake me,
Try to break me
Free me from my false castle,
They anger me,
I tell them to leave
My life's better without their hassle.
And then one day
The endorphins cease
And I'm left with my hollowed out self,
To see the truth clear
After all of these years
I now desperately need lots of help.
That won't happen again
I tell myself now,
Feels like waking right up from a dream,
But then I glance at a girl
My heart grows as big as the world
I can't help it! - You know what I mean!!

I find out kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad,
The world spins with chaos theory,
To think we all are mad.
Living out our expectations
Wishing hard upon a star,
Communal individualism
Yet can't go far
Without a car.
See the future
Make a choice
Change it if you can,
Or if you'd rather
Remain as is
Sidestep life's unknown plan.
Continue on down murky roads
Feel around you as you stumble,
Keep moving forward
Determination
Let life's lesson make you humble.

The crisp clean air and clear blue skies
The world around us comes alive,
We bask in the sunlight and dance through the fields
Then rest in the shade where the leaves act like shields,
A peaceful excursion, remembrance past
The days once were young but grew up extra fast,
Now we all follow unique and uncharted paths,
Till they all cross once more
Together, once again, at last.

Oak-like with a touch of plastic
Flavors in the barnyard,
Subtle hints of worm farm soil
To taste the flavors can be hard.
Close your eyes and open your nose
The aromas seep through your pores,
Tilt the glass back
Give in to the taste,
Barbeque chips, margarine and more.
From time to time
You come across
Salty asparagus pepper,
Or tractor hay with a hint of feet,
A multitude of flavor.
Some you'll enjoy
While others not so,
At the end you might have a favorite,
But really the point
Of the whole expedition
To create a memory to marinate.

Sit, sit down on your spherical chair,
Contemplate existence
For a minute,
Discover life before you share,
Tell the world what you find
Within your mind,
The dawn of time
Parallels with
The end of man kind,
A simultaneous flash
A cosmic second,
Goes unnoticed in diamond eyes
As stars dance like fireflies,
The skies
Filled with infinity,
Infinity filled with lies,
Specks of truth float
Haphazard through solar flares
On lunar rivers kept alive,
The shadows unrelenting glare
Steals the good, creates the fear,
But listen from within yourself
The difference can be seen there.
Then breathe deep,
The truth flows out from where you sit,
Exists until you fall asleep.

Just before the sun set
Below the blue horizon,
A rainbow awoke from a cloud
Cast down,
Its vibrant colors surprising.
I watched as it
Reached for the earth,
Calico fingers stretching
For the dirt,
To grasp hold of natures womb,
Its Life cut short
Without sun light
Disappears with the shine of the moon.
But on this eve
The rainbow thrived,
The moon appeared
Up in the sky,
Yet the colors stayed alive.
An omniscient glow
Vibrates uncontrollably,
Instead of a static pose
Bright colors swirled round
Echoing, I heard it sing
Soothing voices made of rose
An unrelenting beautiful sound
Until slowly,
Slowly,
It Disappeared into the ground,
The last night rainbow I ever found.

Can you mourn them everyday,
The ones who traveled far away?
They once lived here,
But did not stay,
And why they left
They did not say.
Moved from this life to the next,
Changed my life in all aspects,
Fills my soul with much regret,
Now never know what to expect.
Learn to love the life you live,
Don't take a second for granted,
The connections you've made, your family and friends,
Their bright love makes your world enchanted.
Loved ones lost, neither there nor here,
Will always continue to hold them dear,
I can see them when I look in the mirror,
They make me strong, help me beat my fears-
This day, second longest of the year,
More sunlight to reflect my tears.

Or so I've been told,
An amazing, sweet person
Her heart's made of gold.
She travels the world
Under the bright stars,
Across the huge Oceans,
There's no place too far!
Look into her eyes,
No malice or hate,
I speak from experience
This girl is just great!
So lucky I was
To meet someone like you,
Happy birthday Jenny Corcoran
I hope your wishes come true!

Infertile apple
Falls off the tree,
Hoping it's seeds grow and blossom,
Patiently waits
Autumn nights flicker by,
Drying up, on the verge of half-rotten.
Others have fallen
Burrow the ground,
Rich soil develops more fruit,
The sad apple watches,
Their gain to his losses,
Just wanted to join Life's pursuit-
To plug into nature
Connect with his roots,
Instead got the harshest of boots.
Leather faced, will die alone,
Never truly had a home.

So crisp and clean and fresh,
An early walk
You feel at peace,
Today you'll feel your best.

Each second you grow older,
Instead face life
Head on and say-
An angel's on my shoulder,
I'll stay warm while she grows colder.

What happens when the sun dips below,
When the sky flips around and the air turns cold?
The shadows arise
Dance to a rhythmic beat,
Like fog in a valley
Crawl through the land discrete,
Invisible tornadoes move through our towns and lawns,
The guardians of midnight
Until the break of dawn.

Dreaming deeply, standing tall,
Beneath an emerald waterfall,
Magnifies the universe,
Old stars burn out, new stars rebirth,
Galaxies dance 'round, collide,
A spectacle hard to describe,
Our planet but a tiny dot,
An infinitely tiny spot,
A speck of sand, they all forgot,
The universe reaches to the edge of space-time,
You can access it all within your dream mind.

Follow the path till you can't no more,
Then keep on movin' till your feet are sore,
Until you can't make it another millimeter,
That's where you'll find Mr.Magizeetereater.
He sits on his swirling purple singing chair,
That lifts him and flips him high up in the air,
He'll call down to you with his squeaky voice-
"To get up or to give in, you've got the choice!"
He'll laugh and he'll squeal and he'll reach up to the moon,
He'll tie a string to it and he'll make it a balloon,
He'll offer it to you but he'll have just one demand,
That you get up off the floor and you grab it with your hand.
He knows that you spent every ounce of your being,
Your body is spent, no use disagreeing,
Then he'll squawk and he'll chuckle and he'll reach down to you,
He'll say "Just touch my hand, I know you have it in you."
So you pull mega strength from the ground and the stars,
To hell with it all, you've traveled this far,
Reach up oh so slow, days go whistling by,
Till barely- just barely, feel his hand oh so dry.
What a glorious feat, you yell and you cry,
Your new moon on a string will fly oh so high,
You'll make it a shirt it can wear that's tie dye,
And you'll bring it to work and you'll give it cheese pie!
But instead of the promise from the weird grinning guy,
You wake up alone, oh what a mean lie!
And the road back to home is quite dark in your eyes,
Looks near impossible, small chance to get by,
You could ask all the how's or the what's or the why's
But instead you deep sigh and you hope you don't die,
'Cos no matter what happens, you may as well try.
Then keep on movin' till your feet are sore,

He'll laugh and he'll squeal and he'll reach up to the moon,
He'll tie a string to it and he'll make it a balloon,
He'll offer it to you but he'll have just one demand,
That you get up off the floor and you grab it with your hand.
He knows that you spent every ounce of your being,
Your body is spent, no use disagreeing,
Then he'll squawk and he'll chuckle and he'll reach down to you,
He'll say "Just touch my hand, I know you have it in you."
So you pull mega strength from the ground and the stars,
To hell with it all, you've traveled this far,
Reach up oh so slow, days go whistling by,
Till barely- just barely, feel his hand oh so dry.
What a glorious feat, you yell and you cry,
Your new moon on a string will fly oh so high,
You'll make it a shirt it can wear that's tie dye,
And you'll bring it to work and you'll give it cheese pie!
But instead of the promise from the weird grinning guy,
You wake up alone, oh what a mean lie!
And the road back to home is quite dark in your eyes,
Looks near impossible, small chance to get by,
You could ask all the how's or the what's or the why's
But instead you deep sigh and you hope you don't die,
'Cos no matter what happens, you may as well try.

Write down the words
That flow from your heart,
A flock of ghost birds,
Together they part
In Infinite art,
With hats made of foil,
It's called a Rhyme Royal.
Scottish Stanza To a Mouse,
Eating up your favorite blouse,
Making messes in your house,
Chase him 'round from here to there,
Trap him in the corner quick,
Teach him now that life's not fair.
Gather 'round to here the tale,
The zombie owls on Deadman's Trail,
To walk alone you face your fear,
Dead owls swoop down, bite all that's near,
The Limerick owls make skin turn pale.
Monorhyme it one more time,
Common sounds where they grow thyme,
Sand and camels raining lime,
Bernstein Bears committing crimes,
Ask the most prestigious mime,
Then it's Catdog's time to shine,
Finish first or ride the pine,
The fish use chalk to draw round lines,
Race the sun's infinite shine,
My hands are bound, I've lost my mind.

Do you remember
Middle school crushes,
Colored braces,
Riding yellow buses,
Building dirt jumps,
Backyard boxing punches,
Basketball camp and
A thousand sets of crunches,
Cards with the boys but
Saw no royal flushes,
Soap in the mouth while
That hypocrite cusses,
Sneaking out at night because
She was so luscious,
Making big mistakes yet
Discovering what US is,
Free to be yourself-
Naivety, 'nuff said.

Eyes crusted over,
Arise from the shadows,
Search through the cobwebs
Grasp for a handle,
Spots form in memory
Give way to lighted paths,
Follow through the tunnels
To make it home at last.
Flowing gold elixir,
Music in the air,
Crowd of thirsty friendly dwarfs
With ribbon in their hair.
Dizzy spinning doppelganger
One foot and then another,
As the world fades to back
Run from one then to the other.
Distant fires
Burning tires
Find the buyers
They're all liars.

Light reflects off the surface of the Earth,
Amplified by the serene sounds of nature,
Wave lengths of light and sound in harmony,
A dance to which we perceive,
Senses taken for granted,
Those without them envy,
But to then have,
Is to soon forget,
Comfortable ways,
Join us,
Forever,
Too little,
Too late.
Life
On
Re-
Peat.

Utterly eternal,
Dancing 'round fires
That shouldn't be seen,
A house made of mirrors
Lies a sleeping Queen,
Fragile,
Agile,
Quick-witted Guardian,
Circles the obstacles
Destruction rewards the man,
His plan albeit
The heart of the dame,
Conquer the witness
For fortune and fame.
He might think it is,
But it's not a game,
Lessons are learned though
One and the same.

A train on the horizon,
Heading towards the sun,
Rolling down the rusty tracks
It moves to the beat of a drum.
This particular train is curious,
It's cargo worth more than gold,
Destinations patiently wait
For objects that no one can hold.
Lies were told to the buyers,
They'll know it too soon I'm afraid,
As soon as the train passes through
No more human lives will be made.
Workers work hard to lay tracks,
Succumbed to the will of the train,
Prisoners of war, their minds wiped clean
Every city new victims to claim.
Eventually the world
Will wait for the train to arrive,
For with it now brings life force-
The innermost will to survive.
Until the train grows tired,
Slumbers in caves down below,
We will do all of it's bidding
It's 'motives' quite frankly 'Loco'.

Sitting in the waiting room
Waiting for the news to come,
Listen to the rain fall sideways
Listen to the heater's hum.
Pacing up and down the hall,
You think hard, try to recall,
What happened on this fateful night
Will your friend move towards the light?
Or will he fight with all his might?
Try and calm your heartbeat down
Tell yourself he'll be OK,
No major organs crushed within,
The cuts and scrapes will go away.
The sounds you heard were not cracked bones,
There was no blood smeared on the ground,
The cries were howling of the wind
Your memories go round and round.
The Doc walks to the waiting room,
You ask him "Doc, is he OK?"
Walks right by you to your best friend,
The world begins to fade away.
He tells your friend "I'm sorry son,
Your friend, he didn't make it,
But all lives do come to an end,
Eventually we'll all face it."
One last breath
To breathe, no more,
What do the Heavens
Have in store,
Is there more
Or an empty door?
Faith is all we can ask for.

Planes,
Passing by,
My eyes,
Up towards the sky,
Caves,
Deep in the core,
My mind,
Under the floor,
Walking tight ropes
Not much to hope,
Find the medium.
Center of balance,
Release from it all,
No longer malice-
Just Light
And you.

A meadow, soft, and rolling hills,
Families come to take their stills,
Photos lasting longer than
The letter written with the pen,
And that is exactly what kills me.
A useful tool outside our heads,
We mix them up with blues and reds,
Until memory becomes a dream
Until the water turns to steam,
Forgotten thought, our tears are shed.
Capture time and space itself,
A piece of soul is taken out,
To what extent, God only knows
But just like wine the future flows,
Drink up or store it on the shelf-
This is what defines you.

Show the world what you can be,
Make It understand you,
Magic at high velocity,
Unhindered movement, you choose to.
When all is right, our Universe,
The fates they can't deceive us,
Reminded of why and who you are,
The elements use a fine paint brush.
So who waits for us
The end of the road,
Old friends standing there,
A brilliant white wall
Standing 90 feet tall
To remind us of why we care.
Troubled eyes
Do mesmerize
Tell us of your guilt,
Have none you say?
So that's how you play,
Fallen leaves do rot and wilt.

Catch me in the act
A tremendous flurry,
Hatchback double parked
Get too close
Sometimes blurry,
Outstanding fundamentals
In an ocean
Hot red curry,
The dreaded pirates
Pass the scurvy,
Quite groovy,
Or just enough,
When chaos dances smoothly.
Who drove me,
From here to there
The between parts pass right through me,
Only positive movies
Can maybe soothe me,
The large boat
They missed the buoy,
Now it's too late,
Straight
To the depths
Far to great,
Latch to my soul
My soul mate
Captivate
Or disseminate.
No matter where your crew be,
Find the true breeze.

Drones out the night,

A Show called Life,
Showing each other that we can count,
Fingers and Toes,
Audience applause
Until next show.
Pseudo-electric jolt
Natures Eternal Alarm Clock,
Created,
Five cents a card.
Still,
We are here
Together,
So
Reason to celebrate-
Cheers!

The tops spins and we watch it,
Waiting for the answer,
Will we end up happy and blessed
Or will It end with cancer?
Can't wait all life in spinning
Chaos rules supreme,
Instead take life head on
Swing from the high beam.
Those who see the top topple
Might know how It all plays out,
But instead of life's adventures,
A life filled with sauerkraut.
Live

Live,
Because,
Life Is Beautiful.

Poor old dog wanders
Blind as a bat,
Fur falling off slowly
Chased by alley cats.
Nowhere to go
No man to love,
Legs wobble softly
Birds watch from above.
Memory short,
Stomach so tiny,
Withering sickness
But nobody's crying.
His old owner paused
For a second no less,
Before moving on
The next puppy so fresh.
We live forever
Or so it may seem,
Do dogs go to Heaven?
In stars they do gleam.

Summer
Time elapse.

He travels round the world,
By Ocean and by plane,
Every inch there is to see
Connection is his game.
He carries round a notebook,
Each page filled with small squares,
Each square contains a unique smell
Landmarks and Scents he pairs.
So smelling the smell of a doughnut,
Might bring up visions of France,
Or a deep hearty whiff of strawberry
Brings Spain where he had a romance.
Smell and View matched side by side
Next vacation won't step outside
Instead will sit and watch the tide
And read with his nose
The world wide.

Put a shell up to your ear,
What kinds of whispers do you hear?
The mellow splashes of some waves,
Or bouncing echos in a cave?
A beating heart,
Sizzling steak,
An old dog's bark,
Leaves under rake?
Rustled papers
White hot vapors
Loud mouthed neighbors
Tasty flavors?
All of the above and more
Coming from within your core,
Listening and waiting for
What the world has in store.

My first moment
She was there
Has never left my side,
She saw me through
Terrible two's
And new school when I turned five.
And then when I
Wanted to run
For President of my school,
Gave me confidence
So when I lost
The next semester I did rule.
She's been there for me
My experiences
All the hard times that I've faced,
From the breakups and stress
To poor choices and deaths
An Angel from Heaven she's based.
When times were quite tough
She never let up
Instead gave us lives filled with joy,
Worked hard everyday
Took all that she made
To spoil her two awesome boys.
At the same time we learned
That life could play rough
So appreciate family and friends,
To live every moment
In positive light
To say sorry and to make amends.
Whenever down
She picks me up
Positive reinforcement,
How lucky I am
To be blessed with a Mom
Who believes love is most important.
So Happy Birthday
To my Mom
The reason I am who I am,
Nobody can mean
What she does to me
The teacher that taught me 'I CAN'.
Love you Mom!

Collecting electric dust,
Waiting for the hands to type
Before it wears and rusts.
Words were never written,
Dust covers the Earth,
Only in capsules that float in deep space
Awaiting another rebirth.

A fountain spilling chocolate
Down into a pond,
The fish and frogs inhale it
Till the night is dawn.
These creatures bloat and die from it
They wash up on the shore,
Bambi and Thumper eat their skins
Black goo drips to the floor.
The ants and furry rodents
Gather up this treat,
Bring it to their champions
The topping for the feast.
From their nests and burrows
They hear the death machine,
Man comes in and tears shit down
Killing all that's green.
They spot a bit of chocolate goop
And gather up a sample,
Manufacture it in labs
And now I have a handful.
Crusty rotten old pathetic
Days forgotten past,
Sidestep since it's better than none
How long will this last?

Attached tight to an object
Reliant overwhelmed,
A bittersweet aroma
Absence can be felt.
Trapped below the surface
Vision quite obscured,
The predators swim near me
But nothing can be heard.
A light shines bright before me
i run fast as I can go,
So close that i can taste it
I feel its radiant glow.
I grab it with both hands
Prepare to jack back in,
But changes into sand
Blows away in the wind.

Agonizing injury
Back of splintered wood,
Chains rust through the ankle
Never given food.
How much can one take
Before they give away,
The deepest darkest secrets
Ones that break the day?
Do it for your family
Tell them what you know,
Or remove the gilded lingua
Can speak to them no more.
Live for others,
Play your role,
Die for others
Expensive toll.
Bear the pain,
Meditation,
Fare the blame,
For your nation.

A thousand broken pieces
Bouncing on the ground,
Shining all around me
The silence of the sound.
From the world in my pocket
To exile in a cave,
The world doesn't miss me
I'll take what I can save.
Sleepless in Diego
Mind plugged up with gauze,
Wandering to nowhere,
Lost within the fog.
So long,
For now.

The laziest sloth in the tree
Swinging incredibly slow,
His family watches in wonder
The ground looks so far down below.
He stops in midair for a second
Watch the sun move in the sky,
Time doesn't sync with this family
All around them the time flies by.
One minute more
The moon shines a cresent,
Reach the next tree
Discover the present-
The present
Is the moment
That you thought it.

Preparing in advance,
Rolling through the fog,
Tirelessly plotting course
While sleeping like a log.
Sometimes things are better
Made with pickled cheese,
Must step out of comfort zones
To feel Life's gentle breeze.
Sometimes the wind picks up,
Throwing things about,
Convulsion chaos burning chain
Feel stuck and can't get out.
Let the storm pass on,
Clean the mess that's left,
Ready for whatevers next
Life's game can be quite deft.

Tirelessly plotting course

To feel Life's gentle breeze.
Sometimes the wind picks up,
Throwing things about,
Convulsion chaos burning chain
Feel stuck and can't get out.
Let the storm pass on,
Clean the mess that's left,
Ready for whatevers next
Life's game can be quite deft.
2011 - Day 139
A likeness undefined,
Pinpoint salutation,
Credible source of happiness
High walls around our nation.
Abandoned right at birth,
Centuries of dust,
Continue to build and cover our tracks
No chemicals cut through the rust.
Traces of the past
Hiding under rocks,
Why did our instincts push out the good
Now made up of Legos and blocks.
Build a space machine,
Travel back in time,
Rediscover what's already found
But do not replay our crime.

Life isn't about
[Enter paragraph],
Rather,
The matter
Of paint and math,
Of art and science,
Of connectivity--
Especially nestled
Between the cesspool,
That which is
The essence of us anyways.
Go find the string,
Follow the stream,
In conscious dream,
Record what's seen
You'll know what I mean,
But don't fall in-between--
Because that one,
That story,
Is a tale of its own.

In a strange way,
I know I know you
From around the way,
Makin your business
What aint yours,
There's no forgiveness
Light the torch.
Breathe it in
The kerosine,
Damper the vein
Your humility,
It's understood
By all save you,
Not in these parts
Can wolves pass through.
Alas
Another sick beast
Watched by careful eye,
Tonight
We'll have a great feast
The torched remains quite nice,
There.
A Sound from the East--
Without a word
We slip back into
The Night.

I awake and open my eyes,
But darkness all around,
Blink twice
Then
Pull the shades,
Reveals a world
Of shadows,
My new home.
In it,
I feel alone
Chilled to the bone
Can't find my phone,
But found
My keys.
Onward,
Seven above
Patiently waits.

A million strong
We roamed around
The path of liberation,
The places we saw
The people we met
Then back to hibernation.
Atmosphere great
The weather pristine
The party keeps going and going,
The yellow brick road
Though no cobblestones
Continued to keep the drinks flowing.
Then off to the Clay
We called it a day
Time for food and relaxation,
Experienced much
The day packed a punch
The best City in our great Nation.

Inside the inside
Around the town
Exclusive patches of grass,
Canals and trenches
Barbed wire fences
There's no possible way past.
Excavation
Digging remains
Creatures unlike any we've seen,
Preservation
Bound in thick chains
Skin scaled and ancient and green.
What have we done
Unlocking the past
Awakening madness within,
Mind control powers
Breath hot thick and sour
The rest of our lives will be grim,
Shoulda,
Shoulda left it alone
And let it be.

Trains race across the desert
The new world awaits,
Sounds of fortunes
And waves.
They bring with them
The minds of the future,
Utopia
Three hundred sixty degrees.
Now we sit,
Waiting for the next frontier,
Calling from darkness,
Whispering madness and color,
Contours of invisible mass,
And perhaps,
Perhaps,
Life-
The future of the future.

Stone cold statue
Standing there
Thinking oh so hard
How nice it'd be
To run with glee
To play a game of cards.
He'd go play sports
He'd laugh and sing
Not taking life for granted,
Every moment
Creating life
Oh the plants that he'd of planted!
He'd kiss a girl
And hold her close
Vow never to let go,
He'd get a dog
He'd call it Bob
Teach it to shovel snow.
Never sad
He'd give give give
He'd help out all the needy,
So joyful that
Would wear a hat
Reads 'World, destroy the greedy'.
But, instead,
He stands there sad
Cannot move an inch,
And over time
Stone heart grew small
Until it matched the Grinch.

Climb that mountain
To the top
To reach the summit high,
And now you stand
Above the Earth
Can watch as time flies by.
Two dice are rolled
Both made of stone
Determining all fate,
Each toss decides
Who lives who dies
And who will become great.
The cave is dark
So cold up here
But all depends on you,
To go inside
To stay alive
And steal the Fate's die too.
You see them there
Each roll brings pain
To some unhappy fool,
Your quickly run
You shoot your gun
And kill each ghastly ghoul.
Now die in hand
About to leave
You get the urge to sit,
You roll the die
And now you're stuck
New Fate for infinite.

To the finish
From the start
So close behind
So far apart,
Interweaving
Through the bend
To beat the light
To make amends,
Crowd is cheering
Distant strip
No slowing down
Must crack the whip,
Lightening thunder
Up above
So close at hand
Need just one shove,
Blurry vision
Melted wax
The end has covered
Up its tracks.
Darkness melts slowly
All around
I once was found
But now I'm lost.

A crease in space
Results in unwanted
Magazines,
Distracting the rubber ball
While It's followers
Dance in unison.
Too many eyes
Watching from the shadows,
Watching the shadows,
Torn and indifferent
Truth is key.
A fire burns in the back
Controlled,
Beautiful,
Bringing together he
And they
And she
Unforgettable
Until you forget.

One way mirror
I watch you sleep
And when you brush your teeth,
When reciting your speeches
And eating those peaches
And when you pretend to preach.
You stare hard
Into your soul
Determined to figure it out
Don't get why you feel small
Or why a trees leaves fall
You continue to take the same route.
Now boring and old
I tire of your suffer
Jump right through the mirror
And I eat you for supper,
Time to wait for new tenants
I have all the time
I drift back to slumber
The world is mine.

Another look into the globe
It shows me right where I stand,
Only at very particular times
Do I make it to Candy Land.
The gumdrop forest
And colorful path
The unlimited keggers of beer,
The people are wonderful
The sun comes undone for all
The world is much better here.
This month I get to go twice
That's double the deuce on the die,
Make sure that I live it up big
It's the dream -
American Pie.

A thousand hands
Crawl out of my heart,
Sticky flakes of life
Cling to their palms,
Unwavering,
Determined to succeed.
My open cavity
Loss of red soul water
Refilled with red grape water
Sealed with toothpaste
Until they return,
Bringing with them
Infinite happiness.

Y toda la casa,
Copas y risas
Qué grandes amigos que tiene.
Aunque extraño estaba presente
La batalla fue ganada,
Bailé mi manera
Para la luna y volver.
Celebramos un dÃa
Significa poco, en esencia,
Para otros, sin embargo,
Avances fundamentales.
Para nosotros es un tiempo
Recoger y vÃtores
Y nunca olvidar
Por el resto de nuestros años.

A Lion in Sheep's clothing
Escape the monarchy,
Believe that life is better
The realm of anarchy.
Maintain a deceptive skin
See what really exists,
Simplicity for security
To give in or to resist.
The coppery taste of wealth
Can't ever leave us in peace,
To touch it once is to never forget
Better off to say no to the feast.
That is, unless the goal is to stay,
To pave your own road and make your own way,
To write your own story and set your own pay,
To accumulate wealth and live right on the bay,
To run the whole world
They'll do what you say-
In this case,
Remember where you came from.

Take what you need
You'll never change my spirit
Just try not to worry
Cos life's on the spin cycle.
Forget what they told you
Reality is seen all around
Make your own thoughts count
Otherwise,
What are you?
Freedom of speech
Freedom of opinion
Until stripped of free thought
Express yourself
Or be another cog in the machine.
What machine, right?
You'll find out soon enough,
I can't ease your pain
Is there anybody in there?
Only you
Your lips move
But no words can be heard.
Please
Please,
Never become
Comfortably Numb.

Ding dong the witch is dead,
Which old witch?
That Muslim Bitch.
Planned for months
A stealthy ploy,
The Navy SEALS,
Exquisite joy,
To end his days
We get our wish,
And now he lays
Down with the Fish,
But if radiation
Mutates a shark,
And his DNA
Finds a place to park (upon the shark),
We'll be in grave danger
Our horizon's must broaden,
Brace for the terrifying reign of
Osama FIN Laden!

To wake to the sun
Rising Eastbound,
Shining over the Pavilion
Golden dreams immaculate.
Bending of wills,
Gritty, drawn out, scripted havok,
A masterpiece
The troupe our very own.
Matching costumes,
The snow slowly falls,
Thunder bellows 360 degrees,
Our eyes never leave the stage.
At the end,
Roses strewn with standing ovation,
And take a bow,
You deserve it.
Bravo.

Move locations one by one
Near me to towards the ocean,
Mix it up and live it large
Go tan but wear much lotion.
To move but once a year is tough
I hate the entire process,
But to do it every day for pay
I'd rather work in an office.
I feel the feeling walking by
The mood is energetic,
Mysterious though it seems to me
Nobody's explicitly said it.
My boat is parked in the very same harbor
Where the gold is stowed,
I need take it out for a spin
Before I'm turned to a toad.

Across three spans and back again,
The rooster walk amok,
The polygon hemisphere crosses the plane
The surface descends with without luck.
Two barrels of stout
Twelve figures of gold
Five fighters stand still at the door,
The light flickers black
There's a smash and a crack
La orange creamsicle melts on the floor.
The dust gets rowdy
The sky gets cloudy
A whistling heard from afar,
They face each other
Both men undercover
And at three they are both seeing stars.
And end to the end
To beyond they are sent
A foolish mixing of words,
Could have stopped and felt better
Their blood would be wetter
I guess it's a lesson learned.

The way they sayin it
Such a mess they sprayin it,
When the lightening rolls upon the meadow.
Fast mass where we're hearin it
The past they be fearin it
An off white pearl determines the glow.
Velvet robes and crystal balls
A bucket of the unknown
Saves space
Drinks paste
And round and round she goes.

A slimy pterodactyl
Swims across the sky,
A putrid tiny octopus
Climbs into my eye.
A dumpster filled with broccoli
Rolling down the street,
An over-sized esophagus
Coughs up curdled meat.
Three bullets fly up overhead
Each made of milk and glue,
When they reach their target spot
They'll head back to their crew.
I listen but I don't respond
That's because you're stupid,
You say things that don't make much sense
Like you strangled cupid.
I want to turn and walk away
Your words they do not matter,
But, intrigued, I must admit
Reality does shatter.

I see the paths as they flow by
When all of time stands still,
The colors differ, patterns too
In my mind they're real.
I try to touch them as they pass
But to no avail,
I try to stop them with my mind
But, again I fail.
Well they must be
A mystery
The ghosts of long ago,
Destined to walk
But never talk
To where God only knows.
I sit down upon a stump
And pout about the paths,
But then they turn and point to me
I fear their ghostly wraith.
I jump up
And run away
Escaping their colorful glow,
I hide in a shadow
No colors shall come
Till shadows monster swallows me whole.

The lions of the oceans
The finned kings of the sea,
Sharks will chomp down anything
That get in their way.
They start in Southern Cali
Then swim up Northern bound
And then it doesn't matter
No matter what
They're gonna pound.
I can't wait till next round
The playoffs are the best
By the end
When all the smoke has cleared
The championship's coming West

Fatigue crept up as I drove back
A sign of much success,
I listened to The Giants play
The Braves complete the sweep.
The City there
It says goodbye
Until another day,
Goodbye for now
And time to sleep
Until the morning rays.

On the streets of Chinatown
Running down the road,
A flashback of a ninja dwarf
My knee smashed up a la mode.
Limp my way on down the hills
The norm in San Francisco,
Make it to my car and drive
And rest before the disco.
I sit here and watch the Sharks
We try to take the series
If they blow it on home ice
I'll feel really dreary.
Great to see all my home friends
It's been quite a while,
Looking forward to the night
When we go rock with style.

The Golden Polished City,
The Champions await,
The watering holes are gritty
But the girls inside are pretty,
I most likely will be out late.
The Bum is on the mound,
With some more in the streets,
To bury the Braves in the ground
He'll hear the deafening sound,
Will hopefully not be beat.

A sudden impulse
To dive into my computer screen
Google's googley eyes await.
I leap,
My vision digitizes
My movements are plotted coordinates.
I stumble along
Surfing the digital wave
Carefree and insane
Overload through my cerebral cortex
If I have such a thing.
A friend request,
The latest trend,
A sports news break,
More useless/full articles
About anything under the sun.
Too much for me,
I try to get back,
But once your in
You hooked,
And that is that
You might as well
GoDaddy for a domain
Your new home and shelter,
Rent is cheaper IN the Web..

Sitting underneath a tree
Chewing on an apple,
Watching as the bees work hard
Making honey flavored Snapple.
The butterfly's play tag around
The brown bear's lazy head
But when he gets annoyed enough
He paints those insects red.
The rabbits and the tortoises
Play Ouija by the pond,
They want to conjure up a ghoul
To tell fables from beyond.
The sun is angry
And beams down rays
He wants to be their teachers,
But his Jedi mind tricks
Do not work
So slow death to the creatures.
Sitting underneath a tree
Whistling a tune,
Watching natures anarchy
While waiting for the Moon.

Eyes adjusting as you run
Down the narrow hallway,
This dimly lighted corridor
A vision of your birth place.
Doors with eyes do follow you
Running lightening quick,
Escape or be forgotten
A dusty yellowed book.
The elevator broken
On the stairs lay shattered glass,
An open door does beckon you
A flashback of your past.
Hesitant you slowly step
Towards this haunting room,
Once inside you realize
Your life's impending doom.
The door slams shut
The window breaks
The wind whips round and round,
You look below
You're so high up
There's only one way down,
You close your eyes
You count to three
You take the final step,
And as you fall
You think of all
The people that you've met.
One final thought
You reminisce
At all that could have been,
You say a prayer
And open your eyes
To find yourself in bed.

Stand,
Stand around the primordial fire.
Witness the birth,
The birth of good and evil.
Follow their footsteps so you may behold
The paths these mirrored twins have chosen.
But,
Knowing their paths
Ensures nothing of our own.
We take it upon ourselves,
In our minds,
In our thoughts,
That our own path might be better,
Brighter,
More REAL.
And as these Ying Yang paths
Run parallel,
We hop from one to another
Until they are ONE
And our own,
A unique mix,
Yours to treasure.
Treasure, until
Two roads diverge in a yellow wood.
Then,
Ask yourself,
Which path will YOU take?
Stand around the primordial fire.

The sound of silence
The waves roll in
The sun beams down
Repeats again.
Feel vibrations
Jump through my hands
The rumbling earth
It shatters the sand.
The fog rolls quickly
They all point and stare
A large liquid wall
Can be seen over there.
It's shadow is massive
It blocks out the sun
By now it's too late
There's nowhere to run.
Instead-
I sit on my towel with my glasses still on
A beer in my hand and I think of a song
I hum to myself while I wait for the end
I won't cross the street until you hold my hand.

What a beautiful day
An electric blue sky
Unfortunate for me
I crept around inside.
About 90% better
Almost ready to rock,
Ill take one last night
So no aftershock.
Hope the next day is better
I'll spend it outside
Go hit some golf balls
And run by the tide.
For now watch the Sharks
Blow home court advantage
And lose my parlay
Thanks to Nowitzki.
Onto the next one
Ready to go
The millions stars
Our galaxy flows.

Stick to your guns
Look to the light
Pump your breaks on the hill
With all your might.
It's amazing how one thing
That's happened to you
Can then cause chain reaction
A bolt of lightening
Struck true.
Stuck hard
In my mind,
A sweet mental candy,
An overflowing glass
This luscious mind brandy.
As much as it makes
My entire life flip
I like the idea
I just can't help it.

Sick to my bones
Recovering slow
The season of pollen
My allergies flow.
While I wait to feel better
My body does cringe
No exercise nor change
Need a wake up pinch.
Trapped in some Tupperware
Preserving unknown
Release the freshness
Let me battle alone.
Heavily trafficked highway
Thoughts race all around
Collisions are common
They explode without sound.
A vacuum my mind
Do release the pressure
Ready to run
Find the buried treasure.

I am the Victor of the league
The winner by a hair,
Beating Victor in the end
He gave me quite a scare,
My arch-nemesis in the game
He's always close at hand,
This time though I prevailed
The crowd wild in the stands.
The reigning champ for one full year
The bragging rights I get,
The Sleague is mine
Well half of it
Sleague Football not quite yet.
Next season though
The time has come
To cement our legacies,
Our two part-Sleague
Only the best
To join in history.
I cannot wait until the day
We all look eye to eye,
Together under one dark roof
And yell our battle cries.
Upcoming next our trip to SLO
To speak of guts and glory,
Only the best will stay to tell
The heroes road to glory.

All I can think about in my head
Is the next chance I have to get out,
To rock with my friends
Till the sweet bitter end
A sad note on the exit route.
And then again
I plan for more fun
It's what keeps me motivated,
To be sterile is safe
And although it's wise
I'd rather my past recreated.
Means me naive and wide eyed
Ready to explore the world,
Though I've learned a lot
In my time on the Earth
It's best if I keep my life swirled.
Mix in surprise
With joy and fun
And stir it all up in a bowl,
Achoo! sneeze in oops
And cough in some uh-ohs
Now this is a life that is whole.
Without risk you;re safe
But you also don't learn
The difference between right and wrong,
So go take a chance
If you come back alive
I promise you'll hear The Sweet Song-
And you will smile
And be thankful
That you know
What you had only heard about before.

My city's split by One Oh One
I miss that place a lot,
Mostly the people that dwell there
Old town that's not forgot.
Eighteen year mark ended high school life
Onto the next plateau,
Distance between we grew apart
But we'd visit to and fro.
Now settling into our early lives
All across the coast,
Yet my bros are my bros
So you better damn know
That we'll always meet up for a toast-
We drink and we laugh and we yell and we dance
The past shines a light on the future,
I'll never forget the good times we've had
And I look forward to
What lies around
The corner.

One hundred golden eagles
One hundred withering snakes,
One hundred fires a blazing
One hundred of man's mistakes.
One hundred years of solitude
One hundred days of glory,
One hundred times you've told me before,
One hundred infamous stories.
One hundred people watching
One hundred lights in the sky,
One hundred voices screaming in chorus
As the lights move stealthily by.
One hundred of this
One hundred of that
One hundred of what's in between,
One hundred I CAN'T
But a billion WE CAN,
And the world will keep moving.

Finally refreshed from the journey,
Did test my physical strength
Enjoy the beautiful weather,
Study the horizon at length.
The simpleness that I have missed,
The trees the birds the flowers
Even my command station,
Back to my regular hours.
Routine is good and needed much,
To keep one's life on a track
Though now and again one must taste the chaos,
Fly off the path and then back.

I ache at what is left behind,
Knowing that when I return again
The slate wiped clean forever.
Seen as both bad and good,
This time though
Relish the memories
And anticipate the change.
Sleep to catch up to time,
As time rarely visits
The Flashing Desert.
Normality
And familiarity
Return to the other life-
While met with warmth,
Sift through the lessons
And bring them back to reality.

I flee the tormentous beast
Struggle to release from It's grasp
Holding my Spirit and will with ease.
Long day,
Inching along as It continues to laugh,
Another victim of unceasing weight
Pressed upon the shoulders of the common.
However,
I strike a final blow
Before subduing to the madness-
Transcendence,
My entire world flipped
With new perspective
And Respect,
Observing life with new regard.
I live now,
Listening to the words you say
Won't fall into the trap
Never take those sounds for granted.
Thank you.

Continue the magic,
Let it ride,
Another day of business and fun,
Two ideas balanced for health.
Pure again,
But the atmosphere is changed-
Lavo fits better.
Ride the coaster
Again and again,
Hope the LV minute
Stands still forever.
Voodoo to finish,
But not for me,
Speed up but slow down,
Discover yourself
The ways of others
Motivates stronger than ever before.

Something magical has happened within,
To be described is like
Opening your eyes for the first time.
Begins early,
Seminar after seminar pouring into my mind,
While my time itself creeps nearer.
I am confident,
Though as the big hand moves,
Cocoons burst open in my stomach.
In the end I make it through,
And the energy is barely contained.
Another mixer,
Pictures taken with my favorite authors
And I win a book myself.
Pure is the plan next-
The magical bean is planted,
The rest of the night
Stained on my mind,
And I hope it to stay that way.

Pull the door
Off its hinges,
Make sure you know
If it was ever wanted at all.
Blurry by default
Can I hide my fear,
The 3 more nights
Of unruly rites,
Demonstrative obstruction
While I join the masses
Network and mix at Neptune,
Familiar faces approach.
We catch up and my network expands,
Full force to my Conference nickname-
Mr. Cal Poly.
