Psychotic Waltz
I’ve been thinking as the world spins around If you looked into my mind What would you find Could you understand the questions in my life. If I offered you a glimpse of the madness behind my eyes Would you listen to the music of a mad man’s life Will you dance to the psychotic waltz ringing in my ears. And the world keeps…

I'll leave you with this.....
in our darkest hour we were always able to find a spark to light the way. I feel I shall not be able to walk this dark path alone nor do I wish to. love does not vanish it only sometimes becomes misplaced buried below the surface. I am not blind to my flaws I see them every day I cannot escape them, they are mine. if I can…

On Who Do We in this Life Hang?
one word sung a whisper thought in silence brought into this room ........................................landing ......begging the thought of words across the barrel of your sturdiness holding deep in my chest on wheels these have not been crisp is the sound of night so sudden this life is gone arms and doors rush past…

Timeless Painted Lady
Do you believe in this heart that beats for you Have you seen the magic of a starry night Or the trail of stars that follow every breath you take Or the angels that follow you everywhere you go. Everyday I’m thinking of you I follow the stars with every breath you take. Timeless painted lady on a canvas framed with love…

If I Could
I'd buy a Cabin at the water's edge, On the outskirt's of a one horse Port. I'd buy a guitar and learn how to play. Something I should have done long ago. I'd get me a Camera To capture what is... Leaving behind the still frames of heartache in my sole. I'd try to fix,What was once taken away. And sing again,As I was meant…

The Silent Night
Suddenly silent into the face of a long journey home Looking into the eyes of a silent night as he turns to greet his end All becomes quiet All but the voice of who has come to take him home. Thinking back on a life that just started yesterday Just a boy on his father’s boat he learned to chart the seas He heard the tales…

Have you ever seen her fly
The other day she said that she could feel the ocean As it moved the mountains in her heart She said she could make it rain on a sunny day She said that she lives in a castle far away She rides on the back of the dragon As she moves under cover of the sun Flying like the eagle in her dreams she soars across the sky She has…

a piece of it
A moment of tension between two, when normally something would be learned and adjusted is lost because the balance is disrupted by others pushing in. It's difficult not to notice how it happens. It's like buying new shoes rather than fixing a broken shoelace. Or, buying a new dress rather than losing weight to fit into…

A Time That Was Once You
The heavy steps of thunder Pass with every memory I have of you Every night I dream And every night I see a ghostly shadow Of a time that was once you. Speaking loudly so that you will hear All that I have to say And the thunder of a smile now past Has gone its own way. now the lightening has struck the temple And the…

Forecast: Hot and Cloudy
she pushed back against him sending tremors of anxiety coursing through his veins an exaggerated sigh escaped his throat as he tried desperately to disconnect for fear that he would be led to the slaughter yet one more time…. fighting every urge to pull her even closer he rolled over feeling his heart beat in places…

Last note in a drawer
Dear heart I've grown with age and you've grown too! the surrounding world has turned a lot of times yet the only piece that has remained unchanged is the love itself and I feel glad it survived grateful and blessed even though everything else changed I love you always you can rely on that xoxo

Golden Memories
Miles high and a million miles away Looking through the bottom of a glass star planet Full of dancing shoes and old fedora hats With a cast of golden memories moving to the sounds of swing town Slowly like a faded memory. Paint a picture of a starry night in yellow blue and gray Bring your superstitions to the gypsy queen…

Let it out
I wrote a bunch of ramblings over the last 3 years and just compiled them. They are not poetry. I don't know what they are. Some are really things that happened, and others are completely made up...usually inspired by loneliness and/or drinking... an ominous combination concerning the heart and the brain and detachment…

To be expressive at all costs
You taught me to rip myself open and, now I depend on it for it keeps me alive all this spillage is not meant to hurt anyone it's meant to heal me don't you believe in this process? flushing out one's wounds? keeping the doors and windows open?! cleaning up the blood? it's been hard for me to learn but I feel I've finally…

Battle Raging
Hi ya'll...Never posted on this board before but occasional 'The Porch' poster. Musician/songwriter here doing orginal songs (words and music) in my home studio. Here's a lyric I just finished to go with a melody I already had...Very heavy rock style with a PJ type 'political' overtone. Let me know what you think! Battle…
