Love Gone Bad
Sing me a song of love...
Sing me a song so sad...
Sing me a song of remembrance...
Sing me a song of love gone bad;
Write the words and the music--
In your own flamboyant sytle-
Accent it with elaborate details--
Fill it with your obvious guile;
Give it a melody thats catchy...
You know-a phrase like refrain...
About loves greatest ecstacy...
About its agony and pain;
And then sing a song of love...
And sing a song so very sad...
Sing me a song to show that you remember...
And sing a song 'bout love gone bad;

Golden Depictions
Wildly you painted your pictures-
Your brush 'twas surely: 'Out Of Control...'
Oh, what information, we garnered
And what a view of the colours of your soul;
For so many years, it was a puzzle incomplete...
But no more, since your quilled and painted depiction
Your words and morbid colours exposed to our eyes
Ended our living with, only, mere science fiction;
You were always the missing piece...
The one with the everlasting chip upon the shoulder
Carried over decades of drug addled vengence
Allowing your true feelings, to simply smolder;
Erasing your quilled words comes too late...
As you continue to revolve around, a now lost center
For you have been deleted and blocked forever...
Now, just a sign remains: 'Do Not Enter! '
And so, as you may still be Climbing in your deluded mind...
Through your shades of Deathly Morbid Fears-
I just want to say: 'There never will be: A Room At The RR Inn...'
For your information, only, 'a real War has begun my dear! '

In Absentia
My existance 'tis oft' times questioned
Seemingly lacking in presence of mind
Yet abreast of all necessary import
I am oft' elusive and difficult to find;
Without my assuring words of adoration
Lacking my gentle nod of assent
Totally void of the wink of my eye
Leaves some totally incenced;
Privacy 'tis my needful armor
Leaving me oft' times simply away
At times i am overwhelmed by too much attention
Seems these walls have ears yet today;
In a world of back handed abuse
Where connections make this world ever small
I truly am getting quite fed up
With the Electrical Guru's gall;
So, if fear 'twas what they were looking for
Intimidation-by their so-called being everywhere
I will not be their long suffering victim
As i promise to strip their reality bare;

And Your Ego Is Your Master
It was a dichtomy of forces---
That shattered our 'ship'...
An ego enlarged and self-centered...
That stung like a lash from a whip! ;
It was a 'dis' of all 'dis's'...
A correction of my: Faux Pas? '
Where the words of your disgruntled...
Were exposed to view without flaw! ;
It shattered our communication for good---
As you knit-picked away...
Ill humor spewed from your keys you see-correcting me--
In all the words you'd say! ;
You dropped me like a 'Bad Habit'...yes you did...
Even though it was you i extoled! ! !
Praising you-in all that you' do--
Alas, your huge Ego just called! ;

Knowledge By Demeanor
Its not the clothes that you wear--
But more the looks upon your face...
Your different expressions...
Visions i will not erase;
Its not the different hats you wear---
But more the way that you stand...
Tall or slouched over-hang dog...
Or at readied command! ;
Its not the slippers that you wear--
But more what you do with your hands...
Whether waving them or in your pocket...
Or tilling the land;
Its not the shades that you wear---!
But more the movements of your eyes...!
They tell me the most about you...!
And your shifty disguise;

Little Grey Shake
It was the season of my childhood
Apple tree swings and cattails
The misty Seattle breeze and
My world
Memories being what they are
I become a hopeless intruder
Opening up that proverbial gate
To my city-my street
My world
Our castle was of grey shake
Mama and daddy's dream come true
Surrounded by many bodies of water
The bluest of blue
Marti's Market and Robinson's Five and Dime
Where we shopped is gone now
A few windy blocks away-St. Edwards
Where we attended weekly Mass and made
Confessions to Father Fox
Our neighborhood was a constant gathering place
Of small talk, laughter and lots of hot coffee

The Snake
They called you Diablo -
Dank, dark and hissing -
Sherlock asked 'Watson'
What it was, that you were missing?
April 30, it came and it passed -
Like a Thunderstorm in the Sun -
Lightening strikes near the Rainbow -
In Wonderland, Oz had begun!
Tightly wrapped up, you were -
In a camoflouged lizard-skin purse -
But alas, the spiders, they caught you -
While you, the Warlock of the South, wrote your verse!
Do believe, Emily knows why they call you, Diablo -
For Wicked and Evil, you'd spend your days -
But Emily, upon being released from the hospital -
Was apprised, of your Satanic ways -

Wake Up Call
After being galvanized
Awake both sides my id
Rushing quaking static
In me
Flipping all but my proverbial
Lid
I scattered myself to and fro
Into a patchwork kind of
Quilt
Wired up from a long calm
Now shaken and stirred
A bit
I began my seek and find
Journey
Of a hidden thug who goes
By: 'Nit Wit'
He's part of a Deranged
Cowboy Gang
Who love their transportation
White

Son
I was compelled back to the cul de sac-
Located in Marine View hills-
Back to your early happy childhood...
Memories of those days are with me still;
Unable to let go of your growing days...
You were absolutely my sheer joy-
The reason for me to go on living-
You-my most blessed sweet boy;
God gave me such a Golden Gift...
Pregnant for nine months of delight-
Watching my tummy grow and loving you so-
You were my future-most bright;
To say that my World revolved 'round you-
Would, indeed, be absolutely true-
You were my reason for being...
A precious Gift Of God-that is you;

Blue On Blue Moments
...My thoughts are: ' Blue On Blue'
They gravitate in my minds eye this day-
...With remembrances of all the heartache...
And the day, we went our seperate ways!
'Tis a Bobby Vinton moment...
...Chiseled out of, the stones of time...
Seen in, the Sands of the Hour Glass-
...Written about, in poetic rhyme...
I never got over loosing you...
...I never accepted, your good-bye...
For me, it has been: 'Blue On Blue'
...As the thought of you, still makes me cry...
'Tis almost, as if it was yesterday...
...When we were so very much in love...
When the entire world that we made love in-
...Seemed more like, Heaven up above...
