Peace from irritation
Daily sandpaper rub
Misrepresentation
Of the Joy of Life club
In this minute of grace
Through my buttonhole realm
The threads of the World threads
Me to the Overwhelm

This want of infinite
This want of infinite
Pure imagination
To describe the finite
Great interpretation
Can the abstract define
Are we simply amused
Are there answers in light
When darkness is refused

Anger still exploding
All the years swallowing
In silence imploding
The option to forget
Recollecting no more
Can simply be achieved
Just by painting the door

It’s not about gun rights
It’s not about gun rights
It’s about Life and Death
The gun in the wrong hands
Has us all out of breath
Our rights to Life and Peace
Should never be denied
Laws are to protect us
From all Bonnie’s and Clyde

A blinding sunny day
Minutes with my mother
Before the life decay
Swinging plastic golf clubs
Trying to hit balls hard
The only time she played
With me and James Gerard

My heart stepped on like an
My heart stepped on like an
Unharvested turnip
My spirit battered like
Mud thrown at a tulip
Surviving primary
No more present danger
Now that the narcissist
Has been made a stranger

Defeat, matters of loss
Changing my perspective
Coming down from my cross
Buffer the breaking waves
Knowing out there's a swell
Stop wallowing in self
Bodies drowning in hell

Fortunes not currency
Essence without presence
No words but fluency
Love, the greatest unknown
Recognized from the start
An abstract by design
The highest form of art

And my heart still chose wise
In all forms of weather
Further up are blue skies
Treating myself kindly
Not allowing excuse
Gentle is the daisy
Not deserving abuse

Outside a steady view
Off of the podium
To dance The Blue Danube
Perpetual motion
Ecstasy essential
Together joyousness
Fulfilling potential

What of posterity
What of posterity
Behind a wave, a wave
Beside the fledgling tree
One ready for its grave
All ashes to ashes
Arms holding time too tight
A cup of memories
Dreading to forfeit light

How we are being judged
In the court of your heart
There is only begrudged
In narcissistic spheres
There's never a square deal
Life outside your court is
As good as a repeal

Fists on piano keys
Hopeless situations
No matter the decrees
Clouds, blank wrinkled paper
Withholding heavy rains
Peacefully palming the
World and its scattered brains

These are not dissections

They are not cross-sections
Or deep introspections

Not striking the chords hard
Or cutting veins with shards
Revisiting the scarred
Freeing is the purpose

Believe futures are made
We are either planting
Or digging with the spade
No matter the weather
Or bounty of the crop
Hopeful expectations
Are better than the stop

So there's no need to ask
Work for resolution
With each menial task
Continue the current
Create the river stone
And slowly the answer
Will find itself rehoned

The danger of safety

Regret of calm choices
Being ice waterfalls
And silence in voices
In the fossils of days
Endless time consumption
Stones and sand or mountains
Avalanche! Eruption!

Years of us and childhood
Buttercups, pets and homes
Kind thoughts misunderstood
Darkness where city lights
Shone beneath a full moon
Joy, sorrow and tension
The infinite maroon

Unsealed and revealing
Sent in a universe
To addresses unknown
With few corresponding

The road least traveled

A life without witness
No certain destiny
Or true test of litmus
New skin often tender
Cautious of the callous
Avoiding subjection
To ill tempered malice

A better C major
Regretting the notes sung
The high stakes we wagered
Navigating pylons
Merely bonsai and buds
Clipping vines while keeping
Us in darkness like spuds

Brave to face the battle
Brave to face the battle
Wiser to know the cause
Cheers for protectors and
Their empathy, applause
And for the narcissist
The dust never settles
Declaring victory
With self-proclaimed medals

I'm all tied up in knots

Undoing my doing
No sense of scribbled thoughts
Volcanic ash spewing
Endless barbwire battles
As if tangled in stars
No sense of place in space
And no life behind bars
