Weights and Measures

Splitting dark
Blank thunder
Tombstone park
Over yonder
Almost there
Rain pain
Even fair
Claim sane
Terrible things
Trivial pretense
Mindful rings
Body drench
Freakish devil
Saints halo
Hell level
Said so
Measure over
Scales cheat
Divided mother
Father beat
Its me
To you
I see
You do.........................

In the Dark

Homeless eyes,
Angels fall down,
Baby cries,
Hunger sound,

Hand in the night,
Shoulder softly gripped,
Comfort in respite,
Though tight lipped,

A twenty won't get it,
Unlimited eagles swill,
No presidents fit,
The way I feel.

Solitude is cold,
Nature is bliss,
I am getting old,
And tire of this.

Peasantry and hypocrisy  
To be divine with out me,
A sinking of thinking is all I do,
While drowning in memories of you..............


FTBAS 1.22.13

Unbroken

A token,
A give away,
Long miles of highway,
Stretching before us,
Craters behind the dust
Simple glass leaning,
Dog is tired of screaming,
Begged borrowed once stole,
Count the blessing two fold,
Run once more embracing the horizon,
All in mirrors of cake and icing,
Deductions,
Consumption's,
Delusions,
Confusions,
Interrelated some how,
All debated to wow,
This moment of clarity,
When conformity,
Is no longer spoken...............................

Please none all the same

Starved in fascination,
Solitaries deviation,
Then looked the other way,
Unintended to one day pay,
Pre game a funday,
Started to drink yesterday,
Forgot to think before then,
Didn't see the end,
Trumps of hearts and little cards,
Mirrors resurrection broken in shards,
But if things got unbent,
Hole debt been spent,
Please none all the same,
In this no winner game..................

Season

To lie gazing upon the stars,
Among the whispering pines,
This little space of ours,
In between the time lines.

Of seasons apart from why,
Questions pondered not bled,
Doubts with out increasing,
The mouth which has been fed.

If sins a reason,
Dirts dog tired,
Pounding heads are pleasing,
And the moon will have had lied,

Tired maples and days of haze,
Become summer once again,
Splashing comfort in the waves,
Of all in time my friend...............

Talk

I'm going to tell you frankly,
I have no use,
For feelings plainly,
Or dynamic abuse,
A simple walk in the woods,
Matters more to me now,
That what of could be told,
Of  how I want to bow,
There something different don't you know,
In my walking to the end,
A saint I ain't,
I forgiven but I don't know how,
I seen and forgotten why,
I've leaned into the wind of my rock,
Oh holy locks I'm done and you don't care,
Angel lies about my devils pride,
Until they decide to let me go......................

On Being A Gentleman

Cant take it anymore,
Have to make a stand,
So many boys galore,
Pretending to be men,
No class,
Nothing but sass,
Some gold teeth and attitude,
Well that it ain't it dude!
No girls only ladies,
No freaks,
No denied babies,
Not in language,
Color no reason,
Brain got to be sharp,
Like a razor,
Head up shoulders out,
Walk like you're the mayor,
Manners matter,
Class is what you are,
Forget that hip hop gangsta movie star,
Jame Bond maybe,
Clint's got it for sure,
So show some baby,
Time to grow up some more,
Leadership and building roots,
Serving others with whats been saved for you,
So maybe there aren't many out there,
Doesn't work for most it seems,
Those who do it,
Live a Gentleman's dream,
Respect, dignity, love, trust and class,
Then you will be remembered with that,
Feeling warm and fuzzy all over,
Knowing that those you've touched are covered.................

What do you think?

Don't

Pain the great microscopic illusion,
It creeps a shrieking alarm,
A begging and borrowed intrusion,
One minute after sirens warn,

Run

One second beyond the flow,
Resisting to feel some thing different,
That HAVE to know!
Pay with full consent,

Stop

Bulls eyed peace as duty,
Fear deceiving need to blame,
From bent breezes of conformity,
Cloaked disguises in rebels fame,

Stand

Spent misery token,
Telescoped view wide,
Shores of revolution open,
On Americas free ride,

Break

Doors of confusion closed,
Days dawn and waves hover,
Our darkness transposed,
Sitting with peace and pain all over,

Free................

FTBAS 1.3.13

MOST

Live recording,

Instant reality,

Incestuous hording

Staged frailty,

Displacing those,

With another,

In a forgot pose,

Why bother,

Grown up,

Brought down,

Shown up,

Without a sound,

A thumping,

Is gentle,

Verbal pimping,

Fundamentala,

In the familia,

Of poet desiderata...............

That one Thing

Say you get it,
That one thing,
That makes you whole,
That opens all doors,
To your soul,
That one thing,
You always knew would complete you,
That one thing that would make it all ok,
You got it ,
You grab it ,
You hold it,
You see it,
A note,
To you,
It reads,
Its your right here all you have ever wanted,
You can use it whenever you wish,
With just these rules you can Fulfill your wildest dreams,
No sharing,
No one can know you have it,
No credit for what you do with it,
No telling any one you got it,

Is this what you wanted?
