Belief Structure

Belief Structure


Bewildered agnostic


riddled with doubt

about faith and God

Heaven and Hell

that concept 

so hard to believe 

cause it don't fit
under a microscope

just no way to quantify theology

and yet

the bewildered agnostic

has this hole that

needs to be filled

A spiritual song to raise the soul

A feel good harmony

between Heaven and Earth

The bewildered agnostic

searching for truth

reads thick books

on theology and philosophy

Concludes that faith

derives from the heart

not the head

Currently You and Me

Currently You and Me 

Sometimes

the currents of the the day

takes us to streams

we never imagined

we would ever be

Sometimes

we wash ashore

and are unsure

if we'll ever get back

This is why

the best course

is to go with the flow 

Cause we're all

going to end up

in the same place

eventually

 

She Genius

She Genius


Black leather vixen
blonde hair temptress

slithers into the room 
all shiny and smooth

Every dangerous curve


every sensuous crevice

accentuated

People look at her
and assume
she's dull of wit

but

she's got it going

where it counts

she's got the key


a PHD

in men

She smiles

they come running

She asks

they keep giving

Supply and demand

compounded daily

in her bank account

Pawn Takes Queen

Pawn Takes Queen


In glass palace serene

lives the Porcelain Queen

reflecting on her
faded royalty

The splendor
of what was

packed away
in forgotten yesterdays

Cobweb clouds
descend from 
gray skies

on the Porcelain Queen

catatonic 
drunken 
figurine  

alone with her regrets

as the sun sets

on her shattered
empty empire

Beauty Full

Beauty Full


Elusive butterfly

doing the flutter dance

on the perimeter
of her desire

Let's see if I can
tempt her
with my sweet nectar

or

maybe 

I should leave her be

and let beauty fly free

Heading For Armageddon

Heading For Armageddon



Smooth talking

fast walking

demagogue on display

Hypnotic controller

of the masses

he does sway

Wave the flag

Pound the drum

for the carnage sure to come

His choreographed propaganda

fuels the hate machine

as fiery rhetoric escalates


Reaching a fever pitch

trumpets blare
the clarion call for war

Demagogue raises his fist
and smiles with glee

He may indeed

be the Anti Christ

foretold in ancient times

The harbinger of death

the angel of the apocalypse

Return Fire!!

Return Fire!!


Hey!

Miss Perception

Spreading text lies
like a nasty virus
in the gossip arena

You can twist my words

Spread your hurtful 
deceits 


Fire away

Cause it
matters not

I know the truth

and my friends do too


We are all on to you

So we file you under I

For invisible
and irrelevant too

As the ground collapses
beneath your
sorry feet

Wake Up Ball

When I reach
my expiration date
and it's time
to plant me deep
throw a big party
for my grand finale
to celebrate my life
and all the joy we shared...

Do not despair
or mourn my passing..

I had a good ride..

I ran my race..

Now tis time to get off
cause all things must end..

It's how Nature makes 
way for the new..

So toast my legacy..

Toss down a few...

I'll see you again
real soon :)

Patchwork Us

Patchwork Universe 

I am the bastard child

of darkness and light

A hybrid blend

of day and night

I am the shadow

you partially see

You can never quite

fully believe in me

I may be just a dream

A wisp of possibility

Wandering through eternity

A forever unsolved mystery

I am your child

and you are mine

We are forever linked

throughout our history

You and I

and all of us

comprise

the fabric

of humanity 

Spoiled Booty

Spoiled Booty


Cosmic destroyer
and his rampaging
armada

roams the galactic seas

committing acts of piracy

Pillaging solar systems

Wasting planets
just for fun

after first stripping
them of their
natural resources

Arrives at Earth

powers up 
the demolition machine

suddenly realizes
where he's at

Lets out a sigh

for the inhabitants

have already
beaten him to 
the destruction

Shadow Dancer

Shadow Dancer


In the darkness
I concocted

to provide
blanket protection

from my shadow


who should be dormant


and yet

there he is

dancing in the dark

Tormenting me
with his presence

Cold blooded
silent stalker

My forever
nemesis

will not be
suppressed
by my laws
of reality

Multiple Truths

Multiple Truths


I am a gray ghost
of transparency 


living in a black
and white world


I reject your absolutes

Piss on your literal truths

Nuances I see

wrapped in soft subtleties

You can read between
the lines too

Open your blinds
and let the light
shine through

See the layers

count the complexities

and realize

that sometimes

there is more than

one right answer

Cog In Wheel

Cog In Wheel


Blasting sarcasm

in all directions

Intolerant of fools
and their mindless
indiscretions

I take them on

one at a time

but
there were
too many

these legions of loons

over ran my position

and took me prisoner

Into a pit I was thrown

to be
indoctrinated
integrated
and consecrated

into the Church
of the Machine

where
my lobotomy
was performed
at the alter
of conformity

Now I am 

one of them

Now I am

forever bland

Power of Two

Power of Two 

She resurrected
my stone cold soul
from the tomb
of my indifference

Now I must repay
her generosity
with the passion
she breathed back
into me

Her issues 
will become 
my issues

Challenges to be 
faced together

Our days of
being lone
warriors are over

We are a team

The Forever Club

The Forever Club


The thought
of you
dieing
before me
is my
nightmare

Living out
my days
without you
by my side
would be
my agony

The hole
in my heart
could not be 
filled by another

Cause you were
meant for me
and I was meant
for you

It was our destiny

and it will be again

When we are reunited

for all eternity

Supporting Cast

Supporting Cast


I always wanted to be
a studly leading man

The kind of guy
who when he took
off his shirt
would feel eyes scan
all over his ripped body

Admired and envied
by men

Desired and craved
by women

Just a mere sex object
of lust crazed sexuality

How great would that be?

Alas

My genetic blender
did not cooperate

Being plain
and ordinary
was my fate

I've long come
to accept
this flawed reflection
in the mirror

Worked on pumping
up my personality

Honed 
my wit and humor
as best I can


Making due
with the material
allocated

So here I am

Always playing 
the role

of

"just friends"
second banana man

Ever After

Ever After


You walk into my life

we be 

instantly connected

Electrically charged

Particles fused 

I wonder if you 
feel the vibe?

Do you hear 
my heart rejoicing?

How to get you to recognize
our life changing event?

If I could just meet your eyes

A quick glance

A shared smile 

You move closer

Fate now working it's magic 

I see that ring on your finger

I see your prince
kiss you on the cheek
the way comfortable lovers do

Devastation

Dreams crushed instantly

I curse Fate

I curse Love

Unrepentant envy

The lament of the lonely

My empty life rolls on

You were the one

If only life were

a romance novel

you would be mine

for all time

Just another lost fantasy

I need to suppress 

Microwave Life

We all be granular

grains of sand

in the vast expanse

of eternity...

When the wind blows

through our allotted time slot

we scatter and dance

with the breeze...

Time dominates...

None of us immune

from it's relentless effects...

Our expiration date

we wear for the duration

of our stay here on Earth

and yet...

We suppress our mortality...

Perpetual procrastinations...

Living for a tomorrow

that eventually 

one day

will never come... 

Could have beens...

Should have beens...

Is there a sadder epitaph

as the coffin closes permanently

on a lifetime of missed opportunities 

Fire Eaters

Mob scene

convulsing and
spinning
out of control

Angry beasties
blasting rhetoric

preaching anarchy
to the congregation
lapping up the hate

Dogs of ignorance

intolerance and
prejudice 

fuels
the flame
as the

dysfunctional party
rages on

Mad Hatter steaming

pouring bitter tea

into the cracked cups

of their hypocrisy 

Waking Moments

Waking Moments


Seeing her
laying there
in the casket

so peacefully
serene

like a plastic mannequin

"Doesn't she look good?"

"Her pain is gone"

"She's with God now"

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

She's dead!!!

Void of life

An overdressed door stop

This is not my pal gone cold!!

I see her dancing

So young and dumb

and full of life

Flood of memories

school days care free

back in decadent 70's

Forever flirty friends

we were
once upon a time

Look at us now

You are dead

and me

playing the somber soul

Dressed in my

best death comes a
calling threads 

We would share 
a laugh at the absurdity
of this scene

How the Hell
did I ever 
outlive you?

Now what do I do?

Do I go in the back
and chat?

Reminisce and swap
your life stories 
with these strangers
I use to know long ago
when we were less
proper and so much
more alive

I never know

how to perform

at these things

Maybe find religion

suck up to the Lord
while it's convenient  

My prayer
my hope
my wish

is that you are 
looking down 
on your farewell scene

and are as happy in death

as you were in life 

Amen
