“Writers 
———————-
Have gentle souls
Have a heart of a sunshine 
The one written word they paint
From their lives with each brush in their hands

The good times
The bad times 
The treasured of times
Their words are best told 
From its beginning to no ending

They paint each season
They create each reason 
They form each line 
As they stand even at the bus line
As they wait for their train to arrive 
As they drive their car they must stop 
At the parking stop and quickly write 
Otherwise they will lose their track of 
Song they want to sing”

Of dying and fighting,
Best saved for last,
Apologizing and crying,
Inside the eyelids:
Kiss my ass, my lover lives.

Wind, harvested by mills,
Jacks, coveted by Johns,
Songs built by peoples,
Hymns for the seasons.
Rescinded politically,
Not knowing what to believe in.

I miss that girl who wore the moon on a chain,
The one who found happiness 
in solitude and rain,
Who wasn’t smothered by the 
endless need-to-dos, 
But instead made simple moments her muse. 

I miss the girl with the honest, unforced smile,
The one who could always stay for awhile,
Who took endless photos 
of sunsets and trees, 
And spent time, just being, 
under canopies of leaves.

I miss the girl always seeking out the new, 
The one whose blue days 
were ephemeral and few, 
Who spent her Sundays, childlike, 
taking trips to playgrounds, 
Instead of as an adult, 
pushing expensive mops around.

I miss the girl who wore pink bandanas 
and braids, 
Whose undercurrent in life wasn’t always  “afraid”, 
Who wasted away hours in 
make-believe lands, 
And felt no guilt 
with book or controller in hand.

And I miss car rides with no destination, 
Enjoying the lilting song of a clock for pure relaxation, 
Not feeling enslaved by my own procrastinations, 
Making last minute plans, happy deviations,

I miss yesterdays that happened years ago 

And I miss the me that I used to know

Chord dissonant,
World lissome, and handsome,
Magnificent.

Is this it? Chortle ignorant,
A turn with the guns, cannons,
Munificence.

Fishermen old,
Where is yours? 
A thirst of knowledge,
fyords and comments.
Participant bored,
Answers of nonsense,
Can a parrot talk,
conjugate or long?

What color am I?
It asks with a song,
Replies loathsome,
Bandied to a swan.
Grey says the voices,
Not what you are,
But of your choices,
Monsieur.

Storm the earth, Storm the sea,
Arrive in myth, the people be,
Not given bronze, not given sons,
Living gaunt outside a lodge.
Singing swans, singing songs,
Zinc, gold, silver, iron, copper,
In hefty sums, no bitten tongue.

Dearth they arrive, murder at night,
No allies, wyrms or fires to fight.
Death they provide.

Comments on a blog,
On and on, continuous,
Could this be but bots?
How can hate be a ball?
All along, perspicuous,
Archaic in its tongue.
Accompany a structured song,
Another composition common,
A company not lacking lustre,
Just backing something wrong.

I adjust warm muffins,
Until the tops come off.
Butter, cinnamon,
I adjust my jaw,
Until flavortown,
I judge my ignorance,
Could this be god?

A voice brittle, fawning,
Lost in eyes are appearance,
Yet words speak like songbirds,
Though simple, like acrostics.

If you can understand the point,
Does also your voice hurt,
 from screaming?
Do you need more caustic ideas,
 to dissolve your dreams?

My meaning, yours,
Our meeting curt, 
Can I find you feeding on lifeless birch,
With food superior for a life of wood?
Who fights against fascist sons,
Racist daughters to which they sum?
Who resolves just to be,
Sits aside until the burning stops.

What is beauty in a psalm?
Without the son, the daughter,
Is the sport lost?
Where the ice is more soft,
A cross stick, a want,
Whistle wanton, a decision.
To sit in a box, with conscious,
Or a sideline life to correspond
With your winnings.

Write your life, line by line,
From post to post, time in finite, 
Decide.
Vibration is not entirety,
Leave flying to the pilot,
Masons, vocational thieves.
Applause,
Songs written of concepts,
Concert to the rest, nonsense.
Only to soothe the soul,
One forgives and consoles,
Otherwise the wise have but knowledge,
Lies are all but college,
Which behold, 
Yet deny all the garbage they bestow.

Take your hits, pipe by pipe,
From fist to fist, time is final,
Less vital due to all your fighting.

If you would sing me a song,
Calm my soul,
And that would be life'ultimate goal.

Seeking resurrection,
I long to burn my hands,
Incense smoke, friends.
I tire of drawing nonagon, ocatgons, heptagons, hexagons.
I have drawn triangles, circles, squares and beyond,
I have longed for more irregular shapes.
Older days, forgotten, songs,
Lyrics erased, dreams decayed,
Vocals crack on air,
The priest is watching alone.
I stare the beast in his eyes,
and keep yelling despite.

Walk ambles beyond,
Talk stumbles upon,
To write another poem,
Ideas like a fawn.
Appealing siren song,
My pen misguided,
My Ken to Barbie,
A life, component plastic,
Abdomen firm, mind naught,
Opponent, you cage her, 
For I cannot.

Let's get lit
Have you ever felt a time so lit,
Like this.
Blessed, dressed,
Comfy sweaters,
It's Christmas.
Have you ever felt a time so lit.

I guess, I'm dressed in it,
I'll spend the whole day with my friends,
Chilling.
Mingling, God Willing, Song Singing,
Painting pictures of my brothers swinging,
I guess, I'm blessed because,
I can feel it's Christmas.

We get presents (ooh)
We get Phillips Hues.
Everything you wanted all year,
I've got just for you.

Let's get lit
Have you ever felt a time so lit,
Like this.
Blessed, dressed,
Comfy sweaters,
It's Christmas.
Have you ever felt a time so lit.

The valley is my grave
For I sit within the mouths of caves
I shall not move for days
Nor weeks nor years
For even if I'm paid in flies 
My destiny, Tyler, I won't deny
For one day when I die
My body will atone
For I could eat a stone twice my size
My destiny, Tyler, I won't deny
My afterlife, a Bulwark Frog
Lo, to be a tadpole of one's own life
For now, I just write songs
Fantasies to make my family fear the valley's size
Then bulwark on

Whatever they do find
With whomever
I don't mind
Though I don't believe
They must be alien
I lost time
Swear I'm not blind
I look and see
Words in the breeze
Tongue-tied
They oft-lie
Telling tales of talking trees
Ghosts will moan
Beg and plead
Selling rhymes
But not this guy
Not Today
I don't got time
Not for pizza
Not for pie
Not for holding others up
Just to drop them when I die
Today I built a shelf
So they can sit there when I'm gone
Thinking about nothing
While they listen to my songs

Unfocused (not soulless or goalless). I smoke spliffs to get my mind off this list of frustrations. Intimidated by outrageous race racing, flaming faggots nigger-bait while still claiming that they win (but the win's painful). The wind is still unstable.

My win is a long table with nothing on it surrounded by fables. "Nothing comes from nothing, Son," 'cept Miracles and Bagels, two billion silent men in four billion different conversations, but know thyself and when you're asked just say that you know nothing. 

Winter's gone and spring is here
The hummingbirds are humming 
I think I'll make a song today, Son 
I'm feeling something

I'm feeling something.

Angels sings
Remember
The glory

The old flame
The old days
Time again

Daydreamer
New glory
A new song

Angels dreams
Sing glory

His life a vine, with walls to climb,
A sign of reeds, tall as the ceiling.
It reads: peace on earth, healing.

He easily remarks, needing, tired,
With nobodies hiring he sings songs.
Shouts at the crowd pink psalms, skimmed,
Thinking along, forward and onward;
Successor non, foreign legion stalwart.

His heart a fire, with walls to climb,
Passions fleeting, of paint peeling,
With art to desire, of maxims meeting.

Of dirt green, or fences mended,
Grudge son's, however defenseless.
