Stray

Down beat down trodden

Given away under fingers of death

Burns of faint reckoning above those forgotten

Pass all that and let it go

Stray dog loose putting on a show

All these letters are just piss on a vine

Numbers never do justice to the sublime

Fixations and relations shaking foundations

Salt in the dish of regulation

Show high, sly low, window fly, Sky glows

Across the middle where the grass grows

Who are you? What am I?

Never said that did I?

Yes all the time

Stray dog loose pissing on the vine………….

Comfort Zone

In between the lines
A place to find
Temporary we linger
Finding neither

Succumbed to it then
Walked into oblivion
Edged out the truth
Forged a mental root

Place don't mind
Time laced design
Dream the horizon
Dark night blinding

Ignorance maybe bliss
Remembrance of this
All the unknown
Out of the zone...........

Boil

Sometimes I boil from the pain
Short lives of dirt and misery
Dark days and nights of lonely
Cold wet sufferings all they know
Lights blink out dying alone
No love No warmth
No understanding of family
No arms to hold them
No eyes cry their passing
No one to bury the body
Or even to place a stone
Insignificant in eyes trained to look away
No counting on anyone anyway
Many are born to this today
Many will die tonight this way
My heart broken so long ago
Within this misery I begin to boil..........
Fenn 1.2.15

Happy Birthday Jesus

Peace and holy
Insides knowing
Outside showing
Honor glowing
Equal transparency
Kings and queens
Pauper and slave
Daughter and father
Birth to grave
All the same
No better than the other
My curb to yours
No room for curse
Love all abound
On our round
Spaceship earth
Death and birth
Hungry at first
Filled are some
Those who come
That heard him speak
Of power from the weak
Some said he was wrong
Cause who would have us
Who is to really trust
In prophets and seer's
Relying on our fears
None but Jesus
Who
Lived all three
In
Our hope
In
Our spirit
In
Our divinity
Died on Calvary
To set us free..........

Deadly

There it comes
Spoiling all the funs
Tall and loud
Witty and proud
Yapping and screaming
Got my ears a bleeding
Such a queen
A bitch really
Ain't you seen
That Philly
From to North
To South
Shes always
Spewing in someones mouth
So sick and faking
Rumor replicating
Reputation deterioration
Character with out the making
And always faking
Cause real
Is a siren shrill
Like glass
It bust that ass
Truth does endure
I am sure
But dramas always working
Like Miley twerkin
And us watching
On a set
On next
Starving children with out their mamma
Cause she out talking with Drama............

Empty rainbows

Empty Rainbows


In the dark it lies
Somewhere in overcast skies
Believing in the human condition
Creating my empathy fruition

Well I'm done frustrating
Gonna start fixating
On loving every living thing
And the joy I can bring

Framed in empty rainbows
Opened all my windows
Out our time fly's
Soon we all dies

Pardons are just a sheet
Devils got to compete
I'm just a garden
Something to warden

For Jesus to weep
When Gods asleep
Slumped on the wheel
Oh my soul is real

Bent over and undone
When I try to be someone
Not meant to be
Other than me.............

Vaminos

I said this to you

What you put me through

I dig my silence

Ain't worried since

My satisfaction

Is domino

Fall down

Get back up

Push me

Fuck

Falls are creeks at the end

I am cheeks

Soulshine friend

So you said somebody

Did you there

Now that ain’t right

I'll declare

You miss leading for sure

But Hey I m gonna be the only one you see

The one that’s gotta be

Your satisfaction don’t you know

Vaminos -vaminos………………….

Journeys

When the silence of my heart starts beating

Plows in the soil of my soul retreating

I follow a measure in my rhyme

Doubting the empty sublime

Of treasure in darkness

Of paths walked alone

It’s within the emptiness

We find we are not alone……….

Downstream

Spirals and waves
Rocks and rays
Leaves and branches
Night romances
Day delights
Split unites
Without the blind
I could not see
With out my anger
I am not free
Doubt and tragedy
Hand with misery
Cards are not just dealt
They are hand felt
Built with tiny cracks
Shortcut across the tracks
To lean up that hill
Toting despair still
Dogs bark when afraid
Is a decision made
With the heart of mind
Chosen path all the time
Light dark purple blue
I get to be me
You get to be you
Just not sure
Who gets to choose.............

My old Friend

Watching my old friend this morning.

Over 5000 of these days together forming.

Sitting in the warm fall sun, soaking in the rays.

Hot rising or stormy weather days.

My keys jingling are an instant up.

Cause we might be loading up to go in the truck..

Every work day and weekend , keeping an eye on my shoes.

Me barefoot has him with the blues.

Cause boots are for working, so he's almost sure to go.

Tennis shoes are a maybe yes, and sandals maybe no.

Point man on the trail, as a good lead dog would.

Never once has left me, from being misunderstood.

Returning from times he can’t roll, he’s the first face I see.

From a hard day’s work or fishing in the sea.

When he’s not there I hear his bark.

Silence is deafening without his snoring in the dark.

Nights are not the same when I don’t call his name.

Been beside me when even when I was unsure.

With his heart of gold and love so pure.

My old best friend Wyatt the Wonder dog

Or WD 40 on short.

Blessing sent to me from God’s court.

To become such a part of me.

I see I am in good company.

Left with maybe a year or two if we are blessed.

Cause living and dying daily together, is what us old friends do best………………..
