The Gift       The Gift 
Each step that we take 
Make no intent nor escape 
Shade of grey, let go the parade, 
Love is for certain 
Stand by the curtain 
Lift whole in a rage 
You better act your age 
Tender words light the course 
Through the eyes that touch the elements of the sky 
Through every step that we take 
Follow...follow, eager & stake.... 
 
Bridge the gap across the peril escape, 
Shades of black, green & blue 
What are we to do ? 
Cross eyed cat with the little boy blew, 
Shade of grass green & blue 
Shape, lest we triumph to spread out beyond the stand; 
Look deep, stand still & repeat 
Love for certain 
The Oz behind the curtain 
Tap your heals three times, 
 
There the king can greet 
Hungry ? 
Take a seat ! 
Below the tempo 
Treated, many words to go & swell 
Many are going to hell !...  | 
  
  
  
       
      The Standing Order       The Standing Order 
peace, love & groovy 
shout of led now glue to thee 
savor the box that was meant to relax 
the bitter cold had become lax 
love, kisses & romance 
enter  the vast evidence 
lead to your maker withstand 
shades of grey, black & blue 
what are we to do ? 
the electric car through it's barrier 
bask in the vast expanse between time & space 
between the like filled with utmost Peyton Place 
love in sequence in Autumn springs 
 like the natural basking through which is evidence 
The standing order... 
lift up your head, play with the dead 
Surrender the crown 
left into it's robotic clown 
love the standing order in the utmost of swing 
let freedom ring 
in the moment we make are silence to call 
standing test to claim 
shouts of songs from the peddle within 
learn, listen & feel 
some may...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Throttle       "THROTTLE" 
If we stood tall after overcoming our greatest fears 
Maybe we would know that most of our problems are self inflicted circumstances 
Fighting bacteria is so much different then fighting adversity 
Maybe a newer perspective is needed 
To show that we don't need to be sweating 24 hours a day 
Just to justify the roof over are head 
Bur on the other side of things 
Not everyone needs to pretend they are so pure 
We're in this together and still far apart 
Our virtues clash with the sensitivity of teeth feeling it's worth being tested at a candy store in hell 
Too cheesy for you ? 
Well, maybe that's meant to be the way of this world 
Cheesy as all hell 
Yet still worth living 
If we somehow make it out alive

      Seek        Listen To The Wind Blows 
  
through the lot of the vacant sea 
In my quest to the make believe 
Through the charge of what you will see 
beauty, in the height of a word tender seek 
Lover's connect the way the words connect 
Beauty once again through the tree limbs 
Custom made to seek

      Long John Silver       Long John Silver 
 
broke between a pedistal 
in the way we should go 
tired of lightning silver stream 
steady worry clean; 
eating ice cream 
steady as a stream 
mountains by the bed flowing steam 
she was a lady & I was a dreamer 
come apart at the mighty thinker 
dust up the care free shoulder 
below the beckoning seat 
the lost terrain; 
associate through the mighty glowing ring 
each day, the terrace scream & dream; 
he was hurled by the sea 
Long John Silver, 
each sheet to tempo 
the total mediocre; 
loaded by the sealing & dispair 
sealed off the meadow 
pierced through the skin 
where to even begin once again 
the Monarch scream 
adapt to dream 
press your finger in; 
lovers salt taken in 
we can make our ease down by the Cape... 
through the meadow naming dream

      Viral Debt       Lift high the American wild; 
Amazing, the highest wet beacon 
old fashioned remedy, 
the corpse on it's highest plank 
shaped from the hidden vale 
operation, delegation & expiration 
Viral debt 
  
Bondage, the apathy of salt 
not the Covid scent 
divided we fall 
shaped from the risen blend 
key hole we represent to tell 
the underscore read, "Viral Debt" !

      The Streets        When the streets are made for nothing but thinking 
It's the weight of the water that's caused our sinking 
It's a loss of feeling that's made me lighter 
It's everything around 
That makes me neutrally bound 
 
The only writers block is the writer 
It's the kind of thing that makes a man with a pencil and paper a fighter 
Like the paper's jumping up at you like a, like a alligator 
 
But it's hard to chalk down all the mistakes, cause when you're trying so hard you're just being fake 
 
You just gotta learn to let it, let it all flow 
Show your all and let em all know 
Just how you're feeling that blow, even if it means one or two bad lines, that's how you feel though 
Cause life ain't a poetry book 
It's all the points in between the pages that we missed 
It's all the things that make us factories of emotions

      Truth       In Search Of Truth 
promises made in the dark 
have fallen full circle into light 
love, for some vacant command 
in hero salt stand; 
sharp into a knife to blend 
vacant waters onto it's complete call 
shadows one step at the time at the mall 
promises, 
 
a field of dreams come together by the seams 
green light 
a fist to fight 
that is our God given right 
In search of truth 
from a broken tooth; 
love for certain chance well taken 
pryamid chaser... 
 
An eye full taken 
merge the gift well baking 
sand beyond the shining seat 
stand still & repeat 
after glow, which way shall we go 
 
chances, rhyme & time... 
a burboun seat captivated in the sink 
captivated by a smile, 
love, power & scent 
haven't made a dent

      Time Bomb       Time Bomb 
Shed some skin 
Work for profit at the nearby gym 
That's the way its always been 
You need to be thin 
Look at the late Karen Carpenter anorexia 
Hollywood can't live up to your perfect ideal 
Like Ally Mcbeal or Shaq behind the wheel 
Used to have Richard Simmons Deal a Meal 
But that doesn't even appeal 
Need to stand strong 
 
Eminem keeps closing in on his new found friend 
We all have friends in low places Peyton faces 
Its a mass hysteria folks can't get near ya 
A memory fades from those glory days of Springstein & the boys 
Today instead we got a lot of noise but that's by choice 
We once were a renegade we had it made 
To day we got one foot on solid ground with the other in the grave 
Twisted fashion jeans with rips down the side 
What's the lady in waiting now wearing 
Don't try to scare them a need...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Skipped Rocks       skipped rocks through a stream today 
the opening of a brand new day 
its frame is in minor decay 
the bleached wood massed in bone piles, 
we pulled it from dark beach and built 
fire in a fenced clearing 
the posts' blunt stubs sank down 
the circled and were roofed by milled 
lumber dragged at one time to the coast 
We slept there 
Each morning the minus tide- 
weeds flowed it like hair swimming 
The starfish gripped rock, pastel, 
rough. Fish bones lay in sun 
Each noon the milk fog sank 
from cloud cover, came in 
our clothes and held them 
tighter on us. Sea stacks 
stood and disappeared 
They came back when the sun 
scrubbed out the inlet
