Trial By Water
Decisions are an absolute must--
On this day of the third degree...!
Questions are mounting higher-
Arrousing a turmoil inside of me;
The tempest has tossed itself...
Into a very angry deep...
Leaving very little room for solution--
Or hopes of answers to keep;
Ravaged and torn in circles of mystery...
The waves-they crash upon my shore...
Enigmas of yesterdays storms-still unsolved-
Raging on behind Seasides Blue Door;
Coming to terms with this travesty...!
And caught up in the tides ebb and flow...
Its like walking a tightrope of: 'Perhaps or Maybes'--
While it continues-like a cancer to wildly grow;

Don't YOU Know? ?
Don't YOU know what YOU All are doin'?
Havn't YOU any care in YOU at all?
How do Ya' ever sleep at night?
Down this old River Walk...YOU Fall;
The Seasons they are a changin'...
The leaves of time are blowin' 'cross the plains...
Frost and icy wind comes hollerin' after YOU...
And the ole Sun is Beginning to wane;

come
Longer than forever 'tis eternal-my darling-
Going further past Infinity and then...
I promise you all of my love-beloved-
Let us now commence once and again;
This time there shall be no errors...
No acts of desperate jealousy nor dismay...
Only trust-pure trust enraptured with lust...
Well able to handle what may come our way;
Come to my arms my most beloved...
Come unto my most tender embrace-
Let inhibitions down and get rid of that frown...
Come let me kiss your sweet face;
For it 'tis all well and so very right-my darling-
That we have come together once and again...
Wrapped in a kiss with the promise of true bliss...
Longer than forever-past Infinity-we begin;

~My Town~
My town is the razors edge-
Of a virtual cornucopia-
Of Ecclectic...
Looking for Art?
Its in the Big Sky!
'Round any corner-
Coffee shops-
Cappucino's and Latte's-
Aroma's steaming...
Two of the Nations-
Top Ten Universities-
Catfish bars...
Barbequed Brisket-
It will drive you crazy...
Its a town with Clyde,
And Barrow streets-
Named after one of-
Two notorious bank-
Robbers who passed-
Through many eons

~Soul's Quest~
I do believe that i have waited
All of my life-
For words so tantilizing sweet-
The sound of hearts beating
So close
To one another-
'Tis a life complete!
And wide open Soul's-
Beneath the Love-
Expressed-
A million years-
In one second-
That passes-
And stills the sound-
And radiates heavenly-
The aroma-pheromones!
And knowing-
But not really knowing-
For sure-
We're bound...

Changes
Can you hear it calling in the wind?
Winters chilling sigh?
Howling brisk icy waves
Over freezing days she cries;
Winter will soon leave her fingerprints
Everywhere in the snow
White noise will loom in the atmosphere
It's eerie silence shall grow;
Comes the world at a standstill
Perilous roads-difficult to drive
Sparrows bearing the icy lace
With the thaw they will survive! ;
Tree branches weighted heavy
With many a bough to break
It's a white frosted Mother Earth
Frozen pond-once a lake;
Resting or in mourning -for losses
Repose or utter despair...
Longing for the energy of the Springtide
And the arrival of warmer April air;

Music (The Song)
It plays to my heartstrings...
It is the music to my ears-
...It is the tender love song of my life-
And the refelections of my years...
All in a simple sweet melody-
...The rhythm and harmony flow-
Yes, dancing at my heartstrings-
...The memories, they come and they go...
It is the music of my lifetime-
...It is the gentle refrain, in my head-
'A play it to my soul song'
...Down the road of love-
...I am led...
It is a once, in a lifetime song-
...Forever growing, it is, in me-
It is, a broken heart tune-
...And a haunting melody...
It is the songs of our Nation-
...The Anthems and Hymns...
It is the: 'Glory to the World My Friend, ' song-

Realities Escape
Gravely i grimace
In knife-like pain
Living vicariously
In realities cold rain
Today i drive for
The abstract
The canned apathy
Of city streets
Once there i mingle
With torrents of humble
Strangers and soothsayers
I surround myself
By painless illusionists
Who show me the
Snows of Hell
While watching it freeze
Over
'Never' is an unaccepted
Word here amongst the
Throngs of wizards and

Counterfit Dreams
Turmoil blankets the night...
Just sediments of yesterdays dawn--
From noontimes savage scramble...
To midnights hour-long gone;
Webbed in corners of deceit...
Tangible silk-like threads of regret...
Oh, what a tangled web we oft' times weave...
Cast in memories we cannot forget;
Hauntingly the anger it echos still...
Tossed in a tempest of: Never Again--!
Splitting its seams-the truth pushes through--
Addressing the game that we can never win;
Impoverished and starved for true affection...
With no comfort coming from a strangers arms...
Facing the reality of past situations of sheer pain...
Reflecting upon-the pretense of your charms;
Walking away never to look back...
Bridges are burned and never returned...
Closing the gate upon misbegotten fate--
For you there is no need for any concern;

Bad Seed?
Cisterns of toxins?
Sizzles the brain?
Scars in the myocardium
And pent up disdain;
Breeding anger and contempt
With each sip from the well
Oh so destructive to mind and body
Leading to hours of sheer h-! ;
Water supply 'tis suspect
But who then the source?
Heart attack and strokes?
The enemies resource?
Workers of the Dark One?
Knee high in covetness and greed?
No conscience...No morals?
The Beasts unholy seed?
Dedicated to: All Unknowing Victims Of Stimulant Abuse!
