I pick myself up and I take a little walk around Roaming these streets I’m the one they call the breeze I’m one a eyed alley cat I’m the king of the streets. All night long I’m rolling the dice you know I play for keeps So if you’re looking for trouble I’m the man to see I got a shaving razor hiding in my collar I got a…

Looking at the problem head on without turning away
It's all the invaders that tire one out more and more and more these people come and knock on the door and sometimes they get in! and then they're there there, there, there up until they get angry or give up but meanwhile (of course) others knock anyway and sometimes they get let in too! then they're also there, and there,…

Thoughts and Passion
Deep inside the gallery of thoughts and passion Eyes open wide to see the screaming mind of loneliness and pain Hiding behind closed doors searching for the key To unlock the chains that bind desire. A four leaf clover and a hand full of faith With wicked intensions that see thru the cold Follow every step that brings us…

final curtain
I remember seeing a pregnant man in a hospital bed his family by his side A nurse came in, doctor in tow, and closed the curtain for privacy Privacy denied And there behind the soundproof curtain came the words he knew already This life inside was not his child, but himself his own enemy His family wept but he stayed…

EV reference
Not sure if this is the correct place for this (I'm not much of a forum poster), but I do some freelancing on the side and I felt compelled to reference PJ (specifically the song "All Night") in an article I published today.

If I could see
If I could see airwave visions and drift on a draft I'd probably feel like I do when I feel it's true, it's true: love IS the glowing light inside of all of us lifting us up, making us hope another day commuting on congested roads, red light stalls testing patience look up at the communities of birds on the wire black…

An Old Coat Time had left behind
Hand me downs and shinny eyes peer across the room Holding an old coat that time has left behind A beautiful old coat her grandmother left for her To protect her from the winters cold and snow. As she wrapped the coat around her she could feel grandmas love She could smell her perfume She could feel the snow falling all…

Stretch to death if he allows
Deep breath and a sigh Squinty eyed smile lit by Mornings sun Fresh cup and a steamed vanity Falling leaves dance with the cool breeze Smells of fresh lumber and the echo of hammers speak of tales to be The sun tells my neck lunch is near Just a sip...maybe two The tingle sweats through Quips with Joe and a pint to go An…
