At the stoplight
At the stoplight, a stranger knocked on the glass to ask for directions. She sat in the passenger seat and drifted off, listening to him give directions to someone else. At that moment, it didn't really matter what he was saying, it was just the sound of him. Sometimes she drifted off on the wave of his voice when he…

Do you remember me ?
For nights on fire we walk the edge To the surface of a dream In a land that looks so bright we fight to feel the burden Of the things we wish were real. Hazards of a journey that bring us to a place We pray for its final end And through the eyes of desire I see The Eagles circle above me. With wings of fire the spirit of…

Mind Your Manners tribute verse
Sorry to jump on here and post a one-off. I don't write much any more and I'm an amateur but the meter and message of this song inspired and lives with me and I wanted somehow to show my appreciation for this song and all Pearl Jam songs which have been a major influence on my small life.

I am reading __________ right now.
Thought it would be cool to share some book titles. I am reading this right now. Pretty good so far, hard to imagine all the rock and roll heavyweights playin' gigs together. The Who, Jimi. Clapton, The Stones. Pretty insightful.
