Sleepless in Senegal
Sleepless in Senegal
beat virtues of the restless
renegade rhythms
drinking aqua-vitae
in the slow jazz sunset
whose citrus designs
leisurely desert caravan
has me drawn away
in clouds of melody
petals on the piano
lost in a foreign bar
holy western waitress
dancing for me
cobra cool
this chilled intoxicant
luxuriant in lime
just squeeze
and release
mad karma love
beat virtues of the restless

About this poem:
mysterious cocktail
The Old Bait And Switch
Just because you’re thinking
You might outsmart us all
This has got to be riddling
Cause it ain't likely so
Just because were still friends
Doesn’t always mean you know
They’re ain’t gonna be much killing
When we all don't get along
So where does that leave us
Amoung the mighty and the strong
Just ain’t square...Just don’t belong
You might outsmart us all
This has got to be riddling
Cause it ain't likely so
Just because were still friends
Doesn’t always mean you know
They’re ain’t gonna be much killing
When we all don't get along
So where does that leave us
Amoung the mighty and the strong
Just ain’t square...Just don’t belong

About this poem:
We all know what i’m talking about here friends……My Happy Dance
How happy I dance
When my eyes are graced
By your brilliance
My eyes see clearly
A heart full of romance
When you walk into the room
When my eyes are graced
By your brilliance
My eyes see clearly
A heart full of romance
When you walk into the room

About this poem:
Just a little fun.......The inky grey
Faltering
the sound of a distant church bell
flocks of starlings
in the village
all men are dressed in black
proceeding to the grave site
I can see it from my refuge
high on the hill
in the weakening winter sun
who Matthews was
I hardly knew
whether he fought
I do not know
bound for the earth
all in his time
I light a cigarette
and going downwind
I descend
into the inky grey
the sound of a distant church bell
flocks of starlings
in the village
all men are dressed in black
proceeding to the grave site
I can see it from my refuge
high on the hill
in the weakening winter sun
who Matthews was
I hardly knew
whether he fought
I do not know
bound for the earth
all in his time
I light a cigarette
and going downwind
I descend
into the inky grey

About this poem:
slice of lifeA sordid vintage
Marion returns
from the kitchen
coveting glasses
1962 is passing
Chevy in the rain
I fan the magazine
feign interest in the television
Marion pours deliberately
a sordid vintage
Floyd Patterson
Marilyn was a tragedy
Marion eyes me for reaction
I shift slowly
with suburban malaise
missiles for Cuba
Love, love me do
Marion hums
this year I'll grow my hair
escape the city
Glenn in orbit
from the kitchen
coveting glasses
1962 is passing
Chevy in the rain
I fan the magazine
feign interest in the television
Marion pours deliberately
a sordid vintage
Floyd Patterson
Marilyn was a tragedy
Marion eyes me for reaction
I shift slowly
with suburban malaise
missiles for Cuba
Love, love me do
Marion hums
this year I'll grow my hair
escape the city
Glenn in orbit

About this poem:
Events from 1962 wrapped into a poem..Fear
I feel that stream bubbling inside
You have really have no clue
How much I am trying to hide
What I am going through
When cosmic forces collide
When my blood turns to blue
The long silent scream I cried
The wind born flowers strew
Over barren winter fields died
Did life ever so happy knew
Was joy only mine to hide
Or just fear to draw and slew
Like a sword into my side
So much worry to cut through
You have really have no clue
How much I am trying to hide
What I am going through
When cosmic forces collide
When my blood turns to blue
The long silent scream I cried
The wind born flowers strew
Over barren winter fields died
Did life ever so happy knew
Was joy only mine to hide
Or just fear to draw and slew
Like a sword into my side
So much worry to cut through

About this poem:
Baseless anxieties shouldn’t become permanent roadblocks. Fear is such a raw emotion.
SLEEP…
Lost in an abyss of darkness, I seek after it warily.
Fighting off the Insomnia that so easily overtakes me can be hard;
And sleep can be so elusive when I want it.
But I know it won’t always be so.
I don’t seem to need it as much as I have before,
But I must have it often…until I need it no more.
Longing for the abyss of darkness, I seek after it wearily.
Sleep hides me away from my fears and my doubts,
So come, sweet sleep, and hide me now.
And, one day, it’ll hide me away from this life too.
Fighting off the Insomnia that so easily overtakes me can be hard;
And sleep can be so elusive when I want it.
But I know it won’t always be so.
I don’t seem to need it as much as I have before,
But I must have it often…until I need it no more.
Longing for the abyss of darkness, I seek after it wearily.
Sleep hides me away from my fears and my doubts,
So come, sweet sleep, and hide me now.
And, one day, it’ll hide me away from this life too.

About this poem:
When you can't/won't sleep, why not write. LOL!A Planetary Vision
If we could release the hurt that goes back generations
Just think of what a great world we could build together
When forgiveness is not swept aside like dust in the wind
When forgiveness gives a very human touch to offenses
As long as were ready to move on together in this world
We should be ok or what ever else humanity can devise
I just predict when bright minds are allowed to get together
To discuss the important issues that need to be addressed
This world will likely come together like nobody else
Just think of what a great world we could build together
When forgiveness is not swept aside like dust in the wind
When forgiveness gives a very human touch to offenses
As long as were ready to move on together in this world
We should be ok or what ever else humanity can devise
I just predict when bright minds are allowed to get together
To discuss the important issues that need to be addressed
This world will likely come together like nobody else
