  • Sunday Driver (Part Two)

    It doesn’t matter if the forecast is blue Especially if his wheels are stuck in voodoo Spinning around until he’s out of fuel Never seems like the sun will ever shine While he drives down the passing lane Leaving it all beyond the beyond Mentally stuck in the turn lane May never turn back home…

  • Meth

    Sometimes you just can’t be still and freeze the endless movement of your body parts. Especially your mouth that’s been running amok for six hours consecutively without a break. I know people are watching me at work, in public and even family when I get a chance to pull away to visit. The sadness in…

  • I’m Leaving (Part Two)

    You can’t tell me what to do You know its just not like you You phone me up you feel small You cry to me like rainfall Sometimes I just want to get away from your face and start new Smile for me and let go Fill this empty place of soul Don’t lock me…

  • Amazing Sojourn

    (A Slice of Life Shorts) A Slice: I hear that steam train Coming down the rails Its not the noise that’s moving The mighty machine Its not even the man inside The monster. A Slice: Eating inside pocket size diners Operating in coffee shop housing Spending more in restaurants routinely Then going home to the…

  • We’ll Be Fine

    I want to share my life with you Explore the wonders of something true There may be rough days down the road ahead But with you by my side I know that we’ll be fine I want to spend my time with you Discover a world we never knew We can embrace these crazy times…

  • Never Move At All

    There is nothing left to do When the bottom drops out from you There is nothing more to say Just try again someday (you can try again someday) Easy said when you’re not the one down But I’ve been there and I’m still kicking around I don’t know what you’re thinking Your mind is running…

  • Much At Stake

    There was a time I seemed so proud Never paid attention to that dark thundercloud Then one day it began to pour Never let up and never worked out So I went to my ma and said look at me now Where have we been and who are my true friends Seems like nobody cares…

  • Empty Road

    Fire trucks in the distance Screaming a song An emergency looming Something is wrong It’s burning away With every second of every moment – oh yeah It’s tearing the fabric in two Never seems to slow down on this empty road Helicopter hovering Someone on the run Just another day Melting in the sun It’s…

  • Break Point (Of Perception)

    I feel mistreated wore down and beaten Diagnosed by the system lost and unspoken Somebody said something now I’m in the line of fire I opened my heart to receive it and lost my worldly desire There was once a momentary lap of reason Now we’re all reaching the breaking point of perception I’m on…

  • The Idealist

    Every day flows Like a passing show And I will always question The things we know I’ve studied people’s philosophy And found myself digging for TRUTH I’ve read people’s poetry And I hear the cries of youth Sometimes I feel insecure But I know it’s the driving force of the artist Sometimes I stare into…
