Moonshine
She was a lover in an urgent hour A damsel in distress in an enchanted tower She heard the whisper of footsteps in the hall She felt a heartbeat thru the ancient wall A dark halo’d prince had come to be her man The key into lock was turned & hours into passion burned The…

Thinking About You
Don’t know what to think about you But I’m thinking about you You capture infinite possibilities w/ just a smiling glance & fantasy memories Are waiting somewhere If we give ’em a chance Moving with sensuous grace Y’know you take my heart for a ride & I wonder what it would be like To spend…

I DON’T BELIEVE IN FOREVER… ANYMORE
I climb and I climb A circle of time I can’t take it anymore I can’t fake it anymore Everybody wants what’s mine I don’t believe in forever… anymore Sunday morning finds me dazed Looking for a place to stay Stubborn sidewalks, my breath in the air Pondering my death, and should I even care?…

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…

Philosophically Obscene
Why can’t I find anyone alive who sees the way I do? Some see w/ the eye while others see through Misery is an angel w/ face that’s Blue Crippled wings used in painful flight & a home in Heaven’s nite Waken’d by the lion’s roar Soothed by the lamb’s loneliness Been on this wild…

True Soul
Boredom Lonliness Creativity The garments of God The poet is just a puppet An extension of Soul into Flesh A spirit crushed by the senses five His torture is his blessing A prison of freedom Not quite living, yet more than alive Impossible dreams expressing The day they should arrive Surreal is real if that’s…

One and One
Pictures of you visions coming into view Now a chilled whisper tickling up my spine Caressing your hair as fire and velvet entwine The memory reaches semi-sweetly into the past That smiling flame was exstinguished must too fast Tho I feel it reaches remotely into some forgotten caste A casual encounter you felt was not…

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…
