Shared Digressions

Colored rainbows
engulfed in sound
dark shapes dancing
moving all around

the sound resonates deep within
it forces movement, can't suppress the grin

feet start to tap, hips begin to shake
a long slow grind, to a bliss earthquake

close my eyes, lost in the beat
leaving the human realm, barely feel my feet

the vision begins, off for a ride
this is the moment, for which I've tried

Flying flying over a desert land
a lush river divides it, a luscious green band

Soaring so gently weightless the river below
the leaves move lazily, feel the cool wind blow

the thermals they lift me, they elevate my soul
some music it guides me, the path rock n roll
the voices are ancient the figures complex
light music dancing produce such vivid effects

there's no meaning only sound
the colored spheres sparkle
the bodies move round and round and round

Wings

You tell me they love me
you tell me they see
they provide for my safety
and then they beat me

The tears they flowed freely
the years piled up
rebellion it festered,
overflowed young man's cup

don't smile, they'll see you

don't make noise they'll know

they might wanna grab you

then hit you some more.

They don't give me answers
they don't give me truth
they don't help with homework
just booze and abuse

Why would you love me
but hurt me like this
a belt is a weapon
you don't use your fist

don't smile, they'll see you

don't make noise they'll know

they might wanna grab you

then hit you some more.

abusers are cowards,
they prey on the weak
they know of the problem
don't dare turn your cheek

Finally, the fortress has a weakness exposed
the time to leave is here, a problem imposed
the problem is simple, just run, baby run

A brother, long beaten, no longer in fear
he takes him a shotgun, and points it right here

right here at the space, between my eyes
to pull the trigger, he tries and he tries

He spares me, I'm grateful
I still choose to run,
I'll never forget, staring IN that shotgun

Unspoken Truth

2013-06-29T17:37:00.001-07:00

She said she was the one to kiss
she said she was the one I'd miss
before she ever gave me a kiss

Her hair was long it shined so nice
Her hair was blonde it shined so nice
so long and blonde and yes so nice
so nice I have tell you twice

She stood up and she was so tall
she was so tall and that ain't all
her legs looked right, from playing ball

She glanced at me, and I looked back
can I resist the smile attack?
Her face so glad, the joy she had
She looked so good, so downright bad

Her hair was long it shined so nice

Her hair was blonde, it shined so nice

so long and brown and yes so nice

so nice I have tell you twice

BRIDGE - SOLO

Just then the band, it blew an amp
I fell back, got a cramp
sat right down, on the wheelchair ramp

She laughed at me, in agony
sitting down , clutching my knee
The girl so sweet, like a sugar beet
laughing insane, while I'm in pain

The band they had another amp
The leg recovered from the fucking cramp
The band they played, sweet music they made

the girl she chanced, with me to dance
my cramp was gone, it took three songs
we had a drink, and got along.
Next week that band, will play our song.

Becoming Safe

2013-06-13T06:10:00.000-07:00

up with the sun, my mind is fast

hateful thoughts, a pallor cast

thoughts raise up, like a schooner's mast

feel safe today, no nuclear blast

voices in my head, a complex cast

cast on my wrist, cause I made a fist

I punched the wall, and that ain't all

I fell as far as one can fall

the dark side and I saw it all.

It feels like you're out of control

like you've fell into a hole

saving you? Not a soul

A positive thought can make you whole

and save you from the final blow

it's fun to laugh gently , it's fun to unwind

Boys don't hit people, they talk in tones that are kind

I get noticed , cause I'm kind of tall

I wasn't confident enough to try basketball

too scared to be a team mate

act like a man, when ever I can

from another's eyes,I understand

empathy turns fist to hand

I make the choice to let emotions fly

the thoughts they spin and tumble so quick

the rhymes are lush, the concepts quick

add a drum beat and a guitar lick,

The words I spoke ,yeah they were true

I never meant to frighten you.

my senses can, in time reveal

all the things I truly feel

safety first, the bubble burst

growing up fast, at this age

life is a play, and I pick the stage

problems come, just don't find rage

never feel like a rat in a cage

Searching for Gravity

2013-06-08T15:49:00.001-07:00

Everytime you get near me, my weight it goes away

I recall the time I saw you first, like it was yesterday

your light so bright, an aura so right, I fell in love that way

You may think it's sudden, you may think it's weird

but not believing in pure love, is a thing that should be feared

spent lots of time to a dark dark place, and light still reappeared

why fight it, it's good when you bite it

the taste so sweet, sugary shiny shoes, dancing on sweet feet

who the heck knows where the world goes, it turns and it turns and it turns

can passion truly be ignored, when just like this it burns?

So trust is a must, and friendship first, the things that goodness earns

I only seek to walk along, with you to hold my hand

to find a beach, nearly out of reach, then count every grain of sand

hourglass, fancy lass, you always do me right

please take my hand, across this land, come fly with me tonight

why fight it, it's good when you bite it

the taste so sweet, sugary shiny shoes, dancing on sweet feet

so now, yes now, the secret spilled, somehow, somehow the space gets filled

the doctor called, the patient billed, the thought unwilled, free will bears out

whisper, don't shout, be a bridge to peace , at the very least

a lion is regal but it's still a beast. the king he's called, his mane, four walled

the pride is led by several queens, and you know, yes you know,

i wrote it before, make love, make love, don't make no more war.

why fight it, it's good when you bite it

the taste so sweet, sugary shiny shoes, dancing on sweet feet

Ode to an Itch

2013-05-29T16:01:00.000-07:00

Thanks for comin to see the show

We work hard at our jobs, as we all well know

I'll do my best to make it worth your dime

I smile when I realize

what it means to give me your time

This itch well it can kill you anyway,

but lots of us,

we try and scratch it every second every day

My subject goes by lots of names,

we could call him death

He played lots of silly games

random expressions of hate,

often spoken under his breath

One night while drunk and stoned, he was trying to be a man

He gave a girl a ride home, doin' the best his cloudy mind can

His car got stuck in her driveway, he left it there to walk that day

This itch well it can kill you anyway,

but lots of us,
