SHADOW
The minutes join and form hours The evening sours This swelling feeling seems fitting For dark seductions In a darkened room Some loveless tomb Adoring victim Who’s haunting who? I leave her in a guilty bed To stalk a lover new Rattlesnake rustling of leaves In the trees Under a full moon Silent streets where…

On the Phone
I don’t like sleeping alone I don’t like answering the phone I don’t feel like drinking alone so I’m on the phone Red, pink, black and blue or grey I don’t care what you say Everything might be over after today So throw some time my way You say smile/ I say make me but…

Sounds Like Me
I called; she hung up again Another drink and another dime I call a friend of hers this time She doesn’t know what I’ve done Well, I never worried much about tomorrow But today I can’t drink away my sorrow I didn’t mean to hurt no one But something’s come undone Tomorrow comes and I…

Hey, it’s me, your often absent host, letting you know how this works for me… I’ve been writing for over 40 years, thru adolescence, active alcoholism and drug addiction, and into more than 20 years of recovery. I pick and choose from stacks of notebooks, editing and trying to capture fleeting glimpses of past, present…

A Moment in Time
I sit alone With my demons & dead desires Waiting In what feels like vain For some sign That I am, indeed Where and when I’m supposed to be Ominously Feeling like I’m on A sliding board to hell Just a feeling Seems unshakable Some metaphoric Mosquito swarm That swallows me with dread This moment…

THE BREEZE LAUGHS
Eyes like twin sunsets Beautiful, turning into night Into stars that shine Into mine Evening with a charming one Hiding within reach My fingers have sifted through the the sand Looking for the pearl I know is on this beach Seagulls have their freedom And the breeze laughs with them At…

Little girl, what ya gonna be… when you grow up Little girl, will ya still love me… when we grow up Spent the tender years, wrapped in your arms, your loving arms All the years, fears and tears, in your arms, your brutal arms I’ve got you, you’ve got me, tell me what we’re gonna…
