Toxic hugs

 


A hug without u is toxic

May my hugs always have u

A sunset stroll


 

A walk along the beach at sunset

Two lovers hand in hand

Letting the surf wash upon their feet

as the sun slowly sets


A walk along the beach at sunset

Romance is in the air

They hold each other close

as into each others eyes they stare


A walk along the beach at sunset

A promise is made

To stand beside each other

No matter what comes their way

Freedom

 Freedom is not free

It must be fought for each day

The brave will win it

Boiling point

 You tease me

You laugh at me

You think it's all fun


My anger 

My temper

Boiling every time


You beat me up

You make me bleed

Humiliate me in front of people 


My anger 

My temper

Boiling every time


Finally You push me to far

I fight back

And you can't understand why

After all you put me through 

You can’t understand why I am fighting back

Huey the hamster of death

 

His name is huey

He is the hamster of death 

Don't let his cuteness fool you

Underneath all that cuteness is a savage rodent

Ready to strike

Ready to kill

When you least suspect 

Following the rainbow

 Follow the rainbow To new adventure 

Follow the rainbow To a new land


Creatures of all kinds await your arrival 

Fairies, Elves, and Dwarves, 

Just to name a few

Games and fun times

Laughter and joy

Songs for the singing 


Follow the rainbow 

To your heart's content 

Cool

 Oil slicked hair

Leather jacket

Dark sunglasses 


Grooving to your own beat

Not caring what others said

Following your own code

Sunset

 Orange, red, purple 

Colors of the evening sky

As the sun goes down

Adventure

 Through the mountain pass

Down in the Glen

Off to points unknown 

Then back home again 


No matter the weather 

No matter the danger 

We push on

Courageous explorers are we


No matter the distance 

One step in front of the other 

We push on

The Chest

 


 In a hidden room in the basement 

While cleaning 

I found an old wooden chest

Lost away in time


I wonder how long it had been there

Since before I bought the place

I know that

It has pirate symbols carved on it

I know the house is over a hundred years old

Could this really be a pirate's chest

Our is it a mystery even older than that


If I open it

Would I find gold

Or

Something to claim my soul

The staircase


 

The dark staircase 

Covered in shadows 

Covered in mystery 


What lies at the top

Does it even have a top

Or just continues its winding way upward

For eternity 

Lonely Heart

 You try to reach out to the lonely heart

But the waves of sorrow keep pushing it away

Tower

 The maiden in the tower

Was fair and bright

Beautiful long dark hair to her knees

Red eyes like rubies 

Medium size in height 


The tower was guarded by

Trolls

A dragon

Orcs 

And other vermon 


Many brave Knights fight and died

Trying to rescue her

Many brave Knights with courage in their hearts

But none could do it


One day a wizard stopped by

Not knowing anyone was there

Was surprised when a voice called out

The wizard looked up and saw the trapped woman 


The wizard tried every spell he knew

Destroyed many of the rotten crew

But a dragon torched him with a flame


Over the centuries the struggle goes on

But no one can save her

Scare me

 Scare me

Send chills up my spine

Make me cry in horror


Scare me

Make me see visions of my worst nightmare 

Make me shake

Make me shiver

Make me sweat with nervousness 

Make me experience my own death

In every gruesome detail 

Silence

 In space

No one can hear you scream

You can yell your lungs out

No one will hear


The evil of space knows this

It hunts you as you travel through the cosmos 

The evil waits

It strikes

Knowing your cries for help will go unanswered 


In space 

No one can hear you scream 

Forges of Life

 With your fire reshape me

Mold me into that which I need to be

Prepare me for the road ahead


With your fire

Burn away all the things holding me back

Light the fire within me

To reach my purest and best

Picnics

 Family,  friends,  fun, and food

The four fs of a great picnic 


Games will be played

BBQ will be eaten 

Memories will be made


Like the time I fell into the park's creak

Or when the duck bit my hand

While I was trying to feed it bread

The time dad won the race

The big football game

My uncle dumping a bowl of salad on my brother 

For making a commitment 

And of course food fights

There have been many


I could go on and on 

But the message is pretty clear

Without friends and family 

A picnic means nothing 

They

 They can see you

There is no escape

Sleeping or awake

They know


Since the day of your birth

The government has kept a watchful Eye

They have watched you

Grow

Play sports

Go to parties

Make friends

So on and so on

There has not been a time in your life

They have not seen 


Why you ask

They want obedient drones 

People who will fall in line

People who will take orders

People who will not fight back


Those who have learned this truth 

Deemed as rebels 

Deemed as outlaws

All for standing up against oppression 

All for standing up for the individual

The cave


 A whole new world beneath our own

A look into history 

A look into the past

The farther we go 

The more we learn


A whole new wold

Strange and wonderful creatures 

Call this place home

Plants grow

The like of which never seen before 

An entire ecosystem 

Lady of the flame


 Lady of the flame

Dance you hypnotic dance

As your image burns upon my mind

Amazing Grace

 Amazing grace the chains are gone

That had once bound me

Satan thought he had me caught

But Jesus set me free

Baby giggles

 Everytime a baby giggles 

Heaven fills the room

Everytime a baby giggles 

Music to my ears

Pizza

 Is pizza the perfect food?

I believe it is

From the cheese you get your dairy 

Vegetables from the sauce and toppings

Meat from the pepperoni and whatever meats you want

Bread from the dough

Is pizza the perfect food?

I think so

Fuel up with determination

 Fuel up with determination 

Go for your goals

No matter what others think

They are your goals

Not theirs 


Fuel up with determination 

Never back down

No matter how hard it may seem

Keep pushing forward 

Follow your dream


Fuel up with determination 

Sometimes life tries to get in the way

Overcome such obstacles 

Kick life's ass

Show it who's boss

The darkside

 The darkside is overwhelming 

It tries to extinguish the light Within

It makes you feel unworthy

Sometimes you want to die

It eats you whole


The darkside 

A cold lifeless inner death

A numbness of mind and soul

Never feeling good enough

You hate yourself 

You hate everything about yourself 


The darkside 

A chilling void

No light

No warmth 

Just dark and cold

 Hickory Dickory Doc 

We dance around the clock

We party down

July 4


 July 4th 

July 4th 

Fireworks and BBQ

Family and friends gather round

For a party 


Fireworks explode in vibrant colors 

Dazzling before your eyes

Fountains and candles shoot into the night

The ocean at early morning


 Here I sit upon my balcony 

Watching the ocean on this fine morning 

No one in the water yet

Best time to watch


Saw the sunrise this morning

As it rose oven the ocean 

Red, orange, and other colors

What a beautiful sight


Dolphins jump in the distance 

As wave after wave reaches the shore

Some couples out walking the shoreline 

You can hear gulls and other birds in the air


A cool ocean breeze 

Runs through my hair

The Storm

 Thunder claps gale 

force winds blow torment of rain

floods the land below

The call

With the thunder clap
God is calling you prepare 
To answer the call

The garden

 Tend the Earth grow the

garden in all it's glory

to feed the hungry 

Rain

 Rainwater falls down 

out of the sky upon the

Thirsty plants below

Theme Song

 Everytime I walk into the room

"Highway to Hell" bt ACDC should play

Just to let people know

What a fun person I am


The Angel

 


An Angel fell from Heaven 

An Angel full of beauty and grace

Hurt her foot upon the sod of the Earth


She is sad

She is lonely 

After falling from Heaven 


Sh does not cry

Tears would be a waste of time

Her exile was all her own fault


Immortal no longer

She ages, feels pain, and will eventually die

As all  mortals do


The time between now and then 

A chance to redeem herself 

A chance to become an Angel once more


The Sculpture

 


Finally the great sculpture is complete 

That will unity and peace 

To both sides of the bay


There have been waring factions on each side

Peace has been attempted many times

But has failed 


However with this joint effort 

From the factions on the bay

Unity will form

Peace will stay


The sculpted arms on both sides

Rising into the sky

And then coming together

To form archways 


May peace last for all time

Between the to side

And may this sculpture 

Ever remind them

That they can work together in peace

Little Jack Horner

 Little Jack Horner

Was playing the outfield corner

In the Wonderland Baseball game

With a loud "Thwack"

Humpty Dumpty gave that ball a mighty wack 

But Jack caught it and saved the day

Little Mrs Muffet

 Little Mrs Muffet 

Was riding her spyder

To places far way

Traveling the roads

Destination unknown 

Just riding with the wind at her face

Loneliness

 The tearing of your soul

As you fall deeper and deeper into the pit

Of emptiness and void

The constant feel the you have no worth as a human being

The tragic torment of your soul and mind


The crying out for help

Just to be ignored 

The wishing of death

Because you feel no one cares

Speak Up

 They live on the street

Little children with Little to eat

The clothes on their backs

Are the only ones they got


Speak for those who can not 

Let your voice be heard


They live in cardboard boxes

Some have no shelter at all

Sleeping on whatever they can find

Hungry  they beg for food

They know can not be provided 


Speak for those who can not

Let your voice be heard


Their clothes Little more than rags

Their education learning on the street

Some have never been in a school building 


Speak for those who can not 

Let your voice be heard 

Peace and Conflict

 Since before the beginning of time

They have existed 

They have fought

In an eternal struggle 


Call them 

God and Satan

Yin and Yang

Peace and Conflict

They have been known by these names 

As well as many others


Their eternal struggle 

Has created the cosmos

Their eternal struggle 

Has created life


One cannot existed without the other

They are two sides of the same

Locked together in combat

I love this bar

 I love this bar

All my friends are here 

I love this bar

Great music in my ears


Sure at times a drunk causes trouble

At times at fight breaks out

But those times are rare and far between 

So let's party and have fun


I love this bar 

Laughing and joking all night

I love this bar 

Pool, darts, snooker, and card games


As soon as you walk in

They treat you like family 

You are as welcome as can be


I love this bar 

The food is good 

I love this bar 

Friendship abounds

Bitter sweet Love

 Sometimes love can be the sweetest thing you know

At other times it can be the most painful thing you know


You give and you give

Only to have them choose another

You pour your heart out

For them just ro stump all over it


Yes love is a bitter pill at times

A heartache just waiting to happen 

A piercing blade to the heart

Forest Nymph

 


He is the spirit of the forest

Mother Nature's son

A sprite

An elf

A nymph 

He has been called by them all


He watches over the animals 

Has played games with many in the forest Glen

He tells his mom when one gets hurt

So they can be mended again

Goddess of the Forest

 


She is the Goddess of the forest

A protector of the plants and creatures 

Healing the wounded

Saving the dying


Some call her Mother Nature 

Because she is a mother figure to many

A loving heart

From such an infinite soul

Sunset

 

The beautiful sunset

Like a mighty painter

Swriped his paintbrush 

Over the evening sky


Purple,  red, orange, blue 

And a few other hues

I can't name 

All in vibrant and brilliant colors 

All on display

Poetry

 Poetry is my

way to express my true self

My pure honest truth

Flowers for the fallen

 Flowers for the fallen 

Who fought and gave their all

Who shall never see

A sunrise anymore 


Flowers for the fall

Soldiers to the last

Fighting with all thier might

Fighting to be free

To shine freedom’s bright light

Truck driving

 Making your deliveries all over the land

Your heavy load going on to the store

Long days on the road far from home

Pushing ever onward 

Drop off one load

Onward 

Awesome love

 Remake me in the fire of your awesome love

Reform and rebuild my soul as you wish 

Fix in me what has been broken

Tear down the walls inside 

Rejoice in you

I shall

Bob

 There once was a little blue Marshmallow named Bob 

Who really liked working the sod

He'd work hard everyday 

For farming was his way

He also liked corn on this cob

Still He Walks


 

He walks along the train tracks

Going wherever they lead

Stopping at towns along the way

Just to pick up what he needs


The train no longer runs no more

Hasn't for hundreds of years

Still they get traveled 

By those with no fear


He has dealt with bandits 

Some crooks as well

Sometimes just those causing trouble

Below the sun's mighty glare


He fights because he must

The last of his kind

He fights to redeem the land

He fights to survive 


And still he walks

A lonely man 

The train tracks stretch before him

Still he walks

Still he wal


The Country Church


 


It was just a church out in the middle of nowhere 

A country church

For the farmers who lived in the area around it


Full of tradition

And traditional values 

Every Sunday morning 

You could hear that church bell ring for miles


Every Sunday the folks from the nearby farms

Would gather 

To worship 

To praise their God

The Laundry matt after hours

I some how found myself locked inside a laundry mat

Everything quiet and still

Untill about the midnight hour


All the dryers started up

A strange glow came from them

The doors opend

What came out of the dryers

Looked like socks

Dozens upon dozens of socks


Socks of every shape and size

Emerged from each dryer

Not seeing me

Or even taking notice

They set up for what looked like a party


I finally got up the nerve to talk to one

It told me they were the socks lost in the dryers over the years

And each night they come out to party

I was even invited to join them

But had to swear I would never tell anyone


We  had a fun time

Singing 

Dancing

Snacks

Drinking


At around dawn the socks said goodbye 

And dove back into the dryer

After the door was unlocked

And explaining why I was there all night

I finally went home and slept

Sunshine

 Warmth

Life giving rays of light

Energy 

Energizing the soul


Sunshine is pure and awesome 

Sunrise in the morning 

Sunset at night

Shine on my friend

Shine on

Friends on the farm


 

A horse and a dog

Friends as friends can be

Looking out for each other 

Whenever the need be


A horse and a dog 

Side by side at all times

Depression


 Depression is like being in a bird cage

You long for freedom 

But it ever seems beyond your reach 


You can see how to get beyond Depression 

But you never seem to get there


You can see freedom 

You cam smell freedom 

In some cases you can even taste it

And it drives you crazy

Broken mirror

 I broke a mirror today

I looked at it

And it shattered into millions of pieces 

I knew I was ugly

But "DAMN!"

His First fishing trip


 


It's his very first time fishing 

Out with his dad and Grandpa 

The pond was still

The fish were jumping


After they get set up

His dad helps him cast his line

Hours seemed to go by

As they cast and recast

Trying different spots on the pond


Soon Grampa catches one

Then his dad did too

This made the little boy sad

Because he had yet to catch anything 


Just when the boy was about to give up

A tug

It was there, he felt it

Another tug

Dad telling him to reel it in

Another tug

This time almost pulling the boy off his feet


Dad runs over and grabs his son

Together they reel that fish in

And once on shore it could be seen.

That for his first fishing trip

The little boy catches they biggest one out of the three

Hot Dog


 


It's hot in here

Hope my owner comes back soon

With some water to drink

Maybe even a treat 

For being so good


It's hot in here

At least the windows are cracked

Get a little breeze 

But it's still hot


I wonder if I should take the car for a spin 

They left the keys in the ignition 

Just a quick spin

I promise to be careful


Nah, better not better to remain a good dog

Oh joy

Here they come

And I see a water bottle

And a treat


Yeah, they're back in the car

It's not a treat

Better yet

It's a new chew toy

After putting water in my dish

And letting me quench my thrist

They start up the car

And we go home

Ranger


 


They call him a Ranger

A man of the wild

A tracker and fighter

He fights against the evil taking over


As a Ranger

He is a defender

For those who can't help themselves 

Or just need a little extra help


His tracking skills

Have helped him capture many of the enemy 

To extract information from them

Information to save his world


Battle worn

For he has been in many

Sword against sword

Bow and arrow 

Even hand to hand 

Whatever the Battle calls for

He is prepared

From The Ashes


 

From the ashes of her home

She rises from the wreckage

Her house was burnt

In an attempt to kill her

Simply done out of hate


She rose from the flame

The smoldering heat

Beautiful and with wings


She doesn't seek revenge 

She is better than that

She let's the past stay there


With her new wings

She can go anywhere 

She can do anything 

She takes off and flys away

Not knowing where to go

She just flys

The truth

 Here lies the truth

All the way down to it's roots

But it died

Because everyone lied

Now it's just a rotting tooth

Sara Pickles

 Here lies Sara Pickles

Who had a major case of the giggles 

She'd laugh and she'd laugh

Until the day of her last

Now she's in Heaven giving everyone tickles 

Ice Cream Sundae

 Ice cream sundae

Piled high

Whipped topping to the sky

Nuts and cookies

Chocolate sauce

Caramel sauce


Ice cream sundae

What a treat

The best way

To beat the heat

The French toast samurai



French toast samurai 
Defender of the breakfast table
The evil syrup bottle doesn't stand a chance 

He fights through it's minions 
The hard fried egg
The bacon strips
The sussage links
Put the French toast slices through them all

The syrup bottle then fires round after round 
Of butter 
The French toast samurai dodges and ducks
While butter slats on the wall

The syrup bottle has one more truck
He creates a smoke screen with powdered sugar 
The French toast samurai just runs through it

Now the final show down
Together the fight with swords in hand
Though he put up a good fight
The syrup bottle lost in the end
With syrup flowing all over the place
The French toast samurai stands tall
Victorious over his fallen enemy 

Spring

 A time to awake

From the long winter's nap

Feel renewed with life

Peace

 Give me peace

No

Peace is never given

It is fought for and won

Everyday of our live


Nobody can just hand you peace

You have to work

You have to struggle 

You have to fight

Before peace can truly be yours

The Kiss

 I asked you for a kiss

And you gave me one

But

Within that kiss was poetry

Passion 

Emotion

Romance 

And many other expressions 

That the human mind can not comprehend 

Emotions the human mind can't even fathom


For there are no human words to describe it

Poetry

Pure and simple poetry


The kiss

The oneness of heart, mind, body, and soul


When the sun goes down

 When the sun goes down

Time to party

When the sun goes down

Time to play


Worked hard all day

Let the drinks flow

Let the music play


Drinks and snacks

Make the rounds

Music and dance 

To awesome sounds

Last star

 Twinkle Twinkle little star

The last one I've seen thus far

For all the others have gone away

Left the sky and went stray


Twinkle Twinkle little star

Far from the Earth you are

Twinkle Twinkle with all your might

Shine on 

Shine bright


Twinkle Twinkle little star

Your light seems to be no more

Gone from the sky I see

Your light no longer shines on me

Tears

 tears wash out the soul

refreshing mind and body

to repair yourself

Doorway

 You walk down a strange hallway

At the end is a doorway

With a sign above it that reads

"DESTINY"


You stand and ponder

You stand and wonder

If it will be worth to move forward

If it would be worth to open that door


Sure change can be scary

The unknown future ahead

But if you never try

You'll never know 


So don't fear good or bad

A chance to grow lies behind this door

Growing isn't easy

But if you want your destiny

You must grow

At the Candy store

 At the candy store

A child's delight

At the candy store

A child's dream 


Anything seamed possible 

Your wildest dreams could come true

That was the lure

The candy store had on you

Kidnapped

 He runs through the forest

Shotgun strapped to his back

Knife by his one side

Pistol by the other


They had Kidnapped his wife

Those vermon 

Those snakes

Snuck right into the backyard 

Stole her from the garden 


Their children have joined the hunt with their father

Two young men and two young daughters 

All four strapped with weapons 

All four ready for a fight

Hopping to get their mom back safely 


They have tracked the Kidnappers through the woods

Looking for any sign to point the way


After what seems like hours

They come to a cabin in a Glen

The tracks stop here

So this is it

This is the place of the showdown 


Within seconds of their arrival 

A group of armed men burst through the door

A gunfight erupts 

Taking shelter behind trees, cars, picnic tables, while the bullets fly

Hand to hand combat is used when needed


Soon the group of armed men are defeated

They move into the house

Nothing in the cabin but mom tied to a chair

In the middle of the room

The kidnapper with a gun to her head


Take one more step and I shoot her he demands 

The father quick as lightening 

Pulls his knife and throws it

It sinks into the bad guy's skull

He falls to the ground


They untie their mom and go home

The perfect ride

 Sun high and bright warm upon my skin

A  cool breaze in my face

My bike roaning beaneth me


Cruising down the road

Just the journey ahead

No plans, just go whenever the road leads

Off to college

 She loved to smell the flowers 

When she was a little girl 

Now grown up and off to college 

My, how time flies

Death

 Death is yet a beginning

to a brighter world

beyond imagination

Water

 Life giving liquid

for without it we would all

whither and dry up

Watermelon

 Watermelon juices running down my chin

As I eat it off the rind again


Sticky sweet goodness

A little taste of Heaven

In the summer heat

Anxiety

 In a crowded place 

I start to feel all eyes are on me

The people talking and plotting my doom


I tense up

I start to sweat

I might even shake a little 

My daughter

 So young, so beautiful,  just like your mother was

Full of light and promise for the future 

Your mother would be very proud

If she was still with us

We both miss her

So much

Love

 Love has no

Gender

Age

Race

Ethnic group

Social status 


Love cannot be stopped by anything

Distance means nothing to it

Hatred has no hold

No mountain is to high

No valley to low

Whether won't slow it down

Time is useless


Love is strong

It can break emotional walls

Heal emotional wounds

Change evil into good

Comfort the hurting 


Those are just a few of love's qualities 

I could go on and on forever 


Pizza

 Warm , cheesy, gooey goodness

Sauce tangy sweet

Cheese and toppings as you please

Spices and flavors galore 


Pizza

Breakfast,  lunch,  or dinner 

It's good anytime of the day

Rain

 Refreshing the land

Rain falls upon the dry Earth

New life springs once more

Summer

 Hot summer heatwave 

Melting where I stand right now

A puddle of sweat

John Stalker

 

There once was a tightrope walker

Whose name was John Stalker

He’d walk way up high

To catch people’s eyes

But he wasn’t much of a talker

Mighty Jim

 Here lies Mighty Jim

A tough man, though quite slim

He could destroy them all

In any type of brawl 

However, the sight of spiders scared him

Fallen Angel

 She was an Angel full of grace

She fell from Heaven in much disgrace 

Her dove white wings now black as coal

To match the darkness of her soul

Banished from Heaven, she has no shame

Banished from Heaven, only herself To blame

Oneness

 When I play my guitar 

I am one with the vibration of each string

When I play my drum

I am one with every beat I play


The music overtakes me

Transporting me to a higher plain

Where we are no longer separate instruments 

But have merged into one unit

A day at the spa

 A day at the spa

A relaxing retreat 

Calm vibes all day

Stress and worries 

Just float away


A day at the spa

A day to treat myself right

Peanutbutter

 Peanutbutter sticky sweet

Sticks to the roof of your mouth 

Peanutbutter sticky sweet

So much fun in a jar


Childhood memories invade my mind

Peanutbutter sandwich school lunches 

Peanutbutter snacks

If Only

 If only I hadn't given up on myself 

Following my dreams 

Giving myself a chance


If only I had listened to my heart

Instead of the negative comments others always said

Instead of letting those words seep into

My heart and soul

A new Earth

 The coming of a new age

A higher plain of existence 

A new Earth


A Earth of understanding and love

True lasting world peace

No gangs 

No fighting 


All diseases wiped out 

New technology to guide the way

No one goes hungry,  naked,  or homeless 

Everybody is OK


No more fights over skin color or ethnic group

No more teasing the disabled 

Everyone is equally respected 

Junk food

 Junk food is really where it's at

Though it tends to make me fat

Jelly rolls and cakes

Double chocolate milkshakes 

Oh no,  my chair went flat


Here I am sitting on the floor

Eating junk food galore 

Moon pies and French fries

Twinkle and blackberry pie

I hope I can still fit through the door

V.I.C.T.O.R.Y.

 "V.I.C.T.O.R.Y."  That's the tiger battle cry

They'd lead us in cheer

They'd lead us in chants

To get us pumped up for the big game


They'd dance around the gym floor

Entertaining us all

With their kicks and gymnastics 

All while waving their pom poms

The power of words

 The power of words is strong

So use them wisely 

Words can heal

But

Words can also hurt

And those wounds can last longer

Than any physical scar

Ghost town

 Exploring a ghost town 

The history and culture that was

Local attractions that brought people in 


Exploring a ghost town 

Learning about the past

Leave nothing but footprints 

In your path


The broken down buildings tell you a story 

Listen to what they say

Old ballparks covered in weeds 

Shows where the locals played

Lady Warrior

She is one of the few women to join our ranks

Of Knights fighting for our king

She has proven herself time and again 

She is just as deadly as any man


The daughter of the king himself 

At first he denied 

But seeing the warrior spirit in her heart

He relinquished and let her in


On the battlefield 

She has proven to be one of the best

The warrior spirit from her mom's side

A heart of fire in her breast


Any man who tries to cross her

Learns a lesson they won't forget 

She's swift with a sword

Some men have ended up dead

Creatures of the night

 Vampires, zombies, ghosts, and ghouls 

This night is yours

Haunt and cause mischief 

Do as you please

An unholy army of the damned


Creatures of the night

Grow in power and strength 

The world is your

Feel free to take

Santa

 Year after year

He makes his nightly run

To give gifts around thr world


One sleigh 

Eight reindeer 

Elves along for the ride


They ride through the air

They ride through the night

While the snowfalls around them


Delivering toys

To Girls and Boys


As swift as can be

Flying high

Zippy like a jet

Quiet to make no noise


You never see him

But you can tell he's been there

The tree loaded with presents 

The stockings full


Year after year

He makes his nightly run

To give gifts around thr world


My heart

 My heart is no longer mine

It now belongs to you


Since the day we first met

You invaded my soul

To prove my love

My heart grew wings

Flew away from me

It joined yours

From now and forever 

Snooker

 The snooker table is set

Two opponents battle it out

The pool hall in tight suspense 

The morning after

 Man, my head is pounding 

What did I do last night

I know I went to a party

But everything else is so foggy in my mind

The amusement park

 A place of laughter 

A place to play

Now broken down 

Rotting in decay


Hear the echoes of children's laughter 

Among the empty rollercoaster 

Still standing 

But for how long


Shops broken down

Some still standing

With Boarded up windows and doors 

Hear the ancient ghosts shopping 

When you pass by these doors


Metal rusted

Paint chipped or completely gone

Rides left and abandoned for so long


The midway covered in weeds, decaying leaves, fallen down trees

Trashcans tip over by vandalism or wild animals 


A place Once of laughter and joy

A place Once of brightness and cheer

A ghost of it's former self

Alice's darkside of the moon

 Alice let's take a trip

Down a very different rabbit hole 


As you fall and clocks fly by

Hear the Cheshire Cat sing about "time"

At the tea party you hear

The Madhatter sing about " Brain Damage "

In your ear


A group of Wonderland friends 

Split into two groups to sing "Us and Them"


Tweetle Dee and Tweetle Dum 

Bring you "The Great Gig In The Sky"

Featuring the queen of hearts


The caterpillar laughs so funny

While singing a song about "Money"

Then follows that with an instrumental light show "Any Color you like"


The March Hare and the white rabbit having fun.  With the instrumental "On The Run"


Alice you get in the scene 

By picking up a guitar and sing

"Speak to me and Breathe"


The whole gang get together for one more f

song "Eclipse "


So as we now come to a close

Thank you for traveling 

Down the rabbit hole

Goodnight

 Goodnight sleep tight

Drift away upon the night

Let your imagination take you where it please


Castle,  dragons,  and brave nights

Adventure in forgotten realms 

The imagination can dream it all


Fairies, Dwarves,  and elves

Pirates, buried treasure,  ships sailing the sea

The imagination can dream it all


Even thing to wild to explain

Free of any boundaries 

Just let loose upon the pathways of dream

Float among the stars


Goodnight sleep tight

Drift away upon the night

Let your imagination take you where it please

My Life

My life is an open book

Turn the page

Take a look


Every wound a story told

Heartbreak, laughter, I've seen it all

Cuts and sores from working the land

Or learning life's lessons 

None of them easy

But they helped understand


My story is told in my words

Let them ring

Let them be heard


My words

My poetry 

The unfiltered expression 

Of the life I lead

Joy

Hurt

Pain

Love lost

Love gained


Every aspect of my life

Written before you

In plan sight

Please be gentle as you read

I'm not perfect as you can see

Life's song

 Dance to the music of life

Even if no one else is

For we all hear life's song

Some just choose not to dance


Feel the rythum 

Coursing through your veins 

Let it move you

Never stop

Roses are red

 For my enemies 


Roses are red

Violets are blue

Kiss my ass

You know you want to


For friends and family 


Roses are red

Violets are blue

I hope you all know

How much I love you


For my lover


Roses are red 

Violets are blue 

Even the nastiest days

Are sweeter with you

The light

 Everyone has a light inside them

Let it shine forth

No matter what darkness 

This world may bring

Never let your light go dim

The Mansion

 The Mansion up on the hill

Been there for ages

Like a castle overlooking us all

No one has lived there

For many years

But the imagination has created stories 

Thrills and chills


A mad scientist up to no good

Wanting to take over the town

And then the world

Two lovers in a heated fight 

Kill one another 

One awful night

Stories of betrayal and jealousy 

Murder and crime 


These are just a few stories 

I have heard

There are many more

Worlds upon worlds

 Sometimes when feeling small

I feel our universe 

Is nothing more than a drop of water

That sits upon a single blade of grass

In some other universe 

Back To The Future

 A good trilogy 

Time travel past and future 

Flying cars, old west cowboy

And old cars and big egos


Marty, Doc, and Biff

All had parts to play

In this crazy set

Three of the best movies 

My Dreams

 While growing up I had a lot of dreams 

Big and bright they shined

Thought I'd be an actor

Either on stage or the silver screen 

Or maybe a writer

The greatest the world had ever seen

A fireman, police officer as well

Or a doctor helping people get well


Those are just a few of the things

I wanted to be

But as I got older I learned 

There is a big difference between dreams and reality 

Happiness

 Happiness is peace

In the troubled times of life

To overcome them

Swamp frog

 a frog on a log

sits at the edge of the swamp

catching flies all day

Bloodsucking

 These bloodsucking insects 

Will be the death of me

For every one I swat

More show up for a drink

My last day

 My Last day on Earth

Would be spent with a paty on the beach

A full day festival 

Of fun, music, food,  and games


If I'm gong out

I might as well have one last party

Drinks both mixed and not

Chocolate fountain 

BBQ meat

Just a few goodies you'd find


Surfing

Swimming 

And other water sports

Things to keep the party going


I may be dying tomorrow 

But let's have fun today

The Wreck

 The car sled on the oil-slicked road

Hit a tree and stopped

The drivers door opens

The driver drops to the ground 


The car had hit hard

The driver covered in broken glass

Blood running free

The Fair

 Rides, games, and excitement 

Cotton candy,  Funnel cakes,  and much more

Preformers on the midway

Jugglers Juggling any object imaginable 

Clown clowning around

Bands playing music throughout the fairgrounds 


Displays of local arts and crafts 

In the exhibit hall 

There's fun at the fair for one and all

The Abandoned Motel

 There is an abandoned motel down the road

I wander what stories it holds

Governors, presidents, celebrities

Have any of those

Graced it's rooms

Musicians, poets, writers

Might have stayed there to


Was it a quiet place

Or did it have it's share of scandals

The imagination races 

With thoughts run amuck 

Life as chess

 The board is set

Everyday the players move

Strategically moving through this life

Trying to survive 

Trying not to be removed from the board

For when that happens 

Checkmate,  game over

Farm Life

 Farmers work hard everyday

To provide for family and the world around them

Cattle and crops loaded onto trucks

To supermarkets all over the country


Build fence

Haul hay

That is all apart of the farm life

Milk cows

Feed livestock

Gather crops and ship them out

A hungry nation needs to eat

Lone Warrior

 

He travels alone across the land

Fighting the evil that is slowly taking over

A land of pure beauty and peace

Gone to waste and decay


He has fought against the dark forces

Fought goblins, dwarves, dragons, and other such things

Fought black magic wizards, corrupt kings, and knights


He must be careful for there is a bounty on his head

If he his caught he surely will be hanged

yet he continues to fight against the forces of evil


A sword and a bow his only weapons

A friend to Elves and men

They say he is the son of the old king

And The one who should be on the throne

Medieval Times

 



Knights and dragons

Kings and Queens

Wizards cast spells

Jesters clown around


The medieval Realm

Fantasy play

Elves

Dwarves

And creatures I can't name


Adventure bounds

At every step

Wizards with the knowledge of the ages

Casting spells for good and bad


Knights fight

Swords clash

Metal on metal

Arrows launched from bows


Kings of old

Leading knights into war

defending their country with them

America

 Gone are those days

Of hatred of skin and ethnic backgrounds 

Yes it still exists in place

But hopefully people will come into the light


America is for everybody 

Not just a select few

America is a land of opportunity

At the beach

 Surf's up catch some waves

Ride them into shore

Deep sea fishing 

Waves hitting the side of the boat


Boats and jet skis 

Going by all the time

Waves rocking my boat


On shore people run and play

Swim in the water

Kites in the air

Beach balls  being tossed around

On the other side

 On the other side of reality 

The mind can only wander

The imagination takes shape

So let us take a look beyond the looking glass


Animals in human clothes

Talking and acting

As humans should

Humans are the wild beasts

In the forest or mountain Glen

Some of the Animals have humans as pets

The humans can talk and use normal words


Cars fly

Trains soar

Plains and jets are no more

Motorcycles even have wings

Boats float within the clouds

Instead of on the sea

Pollution is no problem here

Nothing runs on gasoline 


Buildings made in such a way

You can reform and reshape them 

Almost as if made with some sort of clay

Two friends

 together we are

One and forever my live

For you is very strong

On The Road

 Here we go on the road

No plans

Just drive

No maps

Just go wherever the road takes us


Driving through the mountains

Beauty in the views

Going over bridges with rivers far down below

Valleys and villages everywhere

A waterfall down that mountainside


As we drive through towns

Both great and small

Yard sales here and there

Flea Markets and local restaurants

Show off the local flare


Driving along the coastline

Beach after Beach after Beach

Families having fun

swimming in the sun

Sand castles on the beach

Kids flying kites

Beach Volleyball games going on

Look even a seaside wedding taking place

The Friends

 Spongebob and Patrick 

Have been friends since they were babies 

This picture shows then having fun


Who knew at such a young age

Their friendship would last their whole life long


But for now

Spongebob and Patrick playing in the pen

Having fun

That is how it all began

Political Differences

 Could I have a friend 

With different political views 

Yes

A true friendship could overlook them

A true friendship should not be based on politics 

That kind of stuff just gets in the way


My friend and I could hold different views 

As long as we respected each other 

Because true friendship 

Is about being together 

Not which side you're on


A true friendship could withstand 

No matter how the political winds blow

For the Love of My Family

 We are a close family 

Together we stand 

We celebrate each other's  triumphs 

Comfort each other when Sad

Treat each other with respect at all times


Would I die to save my family?

I would without a moments thought

Sometimes I joke about it with the kids

You know just for laughs

But, I hope they know it is true


My wife is the same way

I would put myself in harms way

To protect her


My wife and kids mean everything to me

Without them

My life would mean nothing

My life would be empty 

Just another wandering soul without meaning 

Memories of winters past

 The year of the great Snowball fight

A winter free for all

Against all the other kids in the neighborhood


There was the one year where it snowed that night

By morning it had frozen over


 There are always those

Who show off there skill with snow sculpting 

Snowmen and women of every shape and size

Snowforts some pretty elaborate 


Then there are those of us

Who choose to stay in

And watch the snowfall

Sitting by the fire

Hot coco with Marshmallows to drink


Anyways just some of the winter memories I have

Ringing in the Ears

 Day and night It's the same

Ringing in the ears 

Driving me insane 


From sun up to sunset 

Noise, noise, and more noise 

I wish I could have at least 5 minutes of silence 

A message in a Bottle

 A message in a bottle  floats upon the sea

I know not where it goes


Is it a cry for help

From someone trapped on an Island somewhere 

Is it a love letter

Floating to points unknown

Maybe it's a letter to say HI to someone 

Across the sea


Travel on little bottle 

Carry your message to where it belongs 

Travel on little bottle 

Safe journey

The Rooster

 That nasty rooster chased me everyday

When I went out to get the eggs

I tripped once 

Got pecked and scratched


This was common when I was a kid

The rooster puffed up 

The rooster acted so big

That is until he became dinner


Chasing my brother and I was one thing

Put when he chased Grandma 

Grandpa had enough

And off with that rooster's head

Mona Lisa

 Mona Lisa why

do you smile so fine do you

hide a secret  inside

Whatever

 Dad: Tony, How do you feel?

Me: Whatever dad.

Dad:  what does that mean?

Me:  I don't feel bad, but I don't feel good.

I feel just empty inside dad, that's about the only way to explain it.

Bubbles

 Bubbles everywhere

Swirling colors as they float

Soon they will go pop

Music

 From my earliest days music heard

Rather it be vocal, instrument, or bird
Influenced my life that's for sure
When Life makes me ill, music's the cure

At the Yard sale

 At a yard sale you never know what you might find

Long lost treasures that had been hidden away

Waiting for a day

Treasure hunting on a day so fine

Nighttime Visitor

 Late at night I become awake 

Because of some words I hear spoken

I turn on my side to see

A bug-eyed creature looking at me


It said in a soft tone. " Sorry to wake you, but on the way to the bathroom I stubbed my toe." I responded " OK, just be more careful next time.".


The creature went to the bathroom 

When it came back finding me still awake 

We sat and talked until day break 


Back under the bed it went

Night after night this has become a common thing

I like the nighty visits

Graduation

 Soar like the birds 

Wind whipping by

That is freedom and that is you

Though you don't fly son

You run

Never stop


Hold nothing back

You have the freedom to reach your goals

Yes, a young man fresh out of High School 

Big dreams

Big hopes

You can do it

You have the freedom to

Poetry Forest

 Poetry is a forest

I am the lumberjack hacking through it

With my emotions 

With my strengths

With my heart and soul


The farther I get into poetry 

The more I become aware of who I am

As a person

As a member of the human race 


The deeper I go into this forest

The more I see the beauty around me

The forest of poetry

Beach Memories

 As I sit here on the beach

As I look out at the ocean and the waves rolling in

A tear escapes my eye

As you return in my mind


Not that long just last year

We played and swam in the water

Cooked on the grill had a picnic 

We even sat here on the beach and watched the sunset

Arms around each other

As the sun slowly sank


Not long after that

You met someone new

You left with him

And left me alone


A year has past Since that day

That day at the beach that is

Memories like the waves

Washing in once more


The Madhater and his Wonderland band

 Calling out to all of fairytale land.  Come out to Ole King Cole stadium.  To see the rock group The Madhater  and his Wonderland band.  As they play hit after hit.  Hits like "Deck of Cards", "Big and small", and their number 1 hit "Down The Rabbit Hole"  makes plans to come see them now.  Ticket prices are insanely low

The circus is in town

 The circus is in town

Time for fun and laughs

The circus is in town

Let's go


The smells of the Carnival 

Whiff through my nose

The sights and sounds

Hit my eyes and ears

Fun to be had at every turn


Food trucks all over the place

Fried food

Funnel cakes

Cotton candy

Just to name a few

Food here from all over the world


Carnival rides

To thrill us

To spill us

And in some cases to make us throw up

But that's just part of the fun 


Under the big tent

Clowns 

Lion tamers 

Highline walking without a net

Ooos and Aaahs throughout the crowd


High diving act

Man being shot from a cannon 

Trapeze stingers high above



After a day like today

The excitement of the mid-way 

I know I will sleep good tonight

Multicolored Lollipops

 Rainbow colored sweet

So many flavors at once

Mouthwatering good

So Many Dandelions

 Standing in a feild of dandelions 

Watching them sway in the wind

A mysterious door in front of me

Appears in the middle of nowhere 


I walk to the door

Open and walk through

There stood before me

Walking talking dandelions 

Just like me and you


Another door I see

I walk through that one

Dandelions acting like wild beasts

This fun adventure made me flee

Back through the door behind


Once through that door 

I run to the last

Back to my would

Back to where I belong

Big Bad Wolf

 The moon shone brightly

As two figure apper from the shadows 

In the light of a street lamp

Both in their mid-rwenties 

One male

One female 


The man's name was Jack

The Woman's name was Jill

They had spent the night running

From the Big Bad Wolf


They went to a nearby house

Owned by Red Riding Hood

Who took them into her home

And hid them the best she could


After a while they came out of hiding

Hood asked " Why is the wolf after you two?"

Jill answered " He wants to put Jack and I in his stew."

Jack added"  He also wants my goose that lays the Golden egg."

Whatever are we to do


Hood thought a moment and came up with a plan

"You two lead the wolf over here.  I hit him with my fying pan."

So Jack and Jill went back out

The wolf saw them and chased them all about


Soon Jack and Jill had him on the run

Hood gave the signal and the two lead the wolf over that way


When the wolf tried to pass Hood's door

THWACK 

And the wolf was layed out on the floor


Jack, Jill, and Riding Hood, buried the wolf in the woods

That was the last of the Big Bad Wolf

He wasn't seen anymore 


The next evening 

The went to the coolest place in town

A Jazz place called " The Wall. 

Owned by Humpty Dumpty or HD. By his friends

Together they celebrated and listened to

The Three Little Pigs jazz trio

Everyone was happy ever after


Prayer

 



Lord lift up my soul

Melt and reshape it for your

Purpose in my life




Praise his Name

 

Jesus is my Savior

Praise him

Praise him

Jesus is my Savior

Praise his name

Pictures of the cows

The Coffee Shop

 It was a small place

More or less a hole in the wall

But the coffee was good

The smell of coffee and baked goods

Floated around the place


Every morning I would stop by

Chat with the crew serving

Chat with the costumers as well

Or

Maybe just sit and write in my notebook


Every morning 

Coffee and a cinnamon roll

That was breakfast

That was good

People talking about events around town

People just shooting the breaze

Sailing

 On ocean waves

Ships sail away

To points unknown

Nomadic

  Homeless  No The world is my home Nomadic life Traveling here and there Never staying in one place to long Meeting new faces Exploring new...
