Poet Introduction
One last line before I go to bed; The words bounce off the paper as they pour from my head...

I'm so drunk
I wanna Dance
till I'm sober
Clear up my mind
before the night is over
Don't turn out the lights
or tell me leave
cause
I haven't let go
of all my grief
I'm so High
I can't feel my hand's
so I put them in the air
& continue to dance
Where is my drink?
What happened to my friends?
Why am I alone
on the dance floor again
If you're...
I wanna Dance

interlude
I don't wait for the day
when it's all going down
to enduldge in the dream's
that are seldomly found
For now
I make haste
& taste what I can
For the problems I've faced
have placed me in sand
Showing my steps
amonst the frail & the lonely
Leaving a trail
that seems so unholy
Turning circles to reach you
more often than not
Repeating routines
just to tangle this knot
Trying to tie me down
& keep me tame
Persueding the clouds
to resume with the rain
Oh, get me through...

Won't be able
to enjoy a steak
without my own teeth
Can't backpack
through Europe
with an oxygen tank
Imagine me at 63
running around
a nude beach
Can't dance all-night
with arthritc knees
So what if the Club
never closes it's doors
When I'm in bed
by 7pm
Can't drink off a hang~over
when I'm hurting fot day's
What good is a "threesome"
when we sleep thru the climax
Too late for convertable's,
TATOOS & booty~calls
when it's too cold...

All tied~up inside
I can' wait to see you
so anxious for lyfe
to make me your equal
All shook up & nervous
Rehearsing my word's
Searching for purpose
in between our 2 World's
All confused & dismayed
I can't think
through the noise
been silent so long;
I don't know my voice?
All alone in this 'maze'
just hoping to see you
So lost
& affraid
I might never reach you
All but finished
I'll keep crawling till I fall
Until it's all over
I'll get over this...

I've been through
so much bullshit
Yet, I'm incredibly blessed
Making me
hard to understand
& even harder to impress
I often cry
over the simple pleasures
Sheading tears
over my greatest treasures
Falling to pieces
after I conquer the Monsters
Resting so peaceful
I often feel awkward
Uneasy & standoffish
with the more I accomplish
Persuing this conquest
with out an accompliss
No reflective transitions
or
Intelectual transmissions

Nubian Princess
on the floor in my room
What are you doing
all alone in the nude
Smoother than suede
Can I be the next "cowboy"
to compete for the prize
& ride with the convoy
I'd battle the bravest
soldiers of history
Just to git with you
& uncover this mystery
Adorned with jewels
belonging to the Gods
your Body exudes
a need for applause
So,
Just hold your position
while I get in my stance
To begin with some kissing
& then we shall dance

capsule
I heard 300 songs
that were 3 minuets long
then 6 days later
My memories were gone
Just some spotless thoughts
of how the future might be
If I walked away
from the former me
So, I hit rewind & ran away
to try & find
my yesterdays
That was then & this is now
Still I live
in a thoughtless cloud
I can't remember the past
& every time that I try
My brain takes a break

Heart Breakin Daddy
A heart breaking daddy
is a daughters best friend
He's been there & done that
every now & again
He's seen enough to know
so don't try to pretend
You wont leave a scar
that might never mend
cause;
Daddy did that
& said the same words
Broke a lot of hearts
& maybe even worse
He knows how it feels
to feel how it hurts
When you're falling in love
cause; That's how it works

A bashful curtain drops
Exposing fatal grace
healing inner jealousy
Killing love
my nervous order
Passion quits repeating
Selfish thoughts unite
Viciously waving X-rays
youthfully & zealous...

I started to stare
into space for a while
Stopping to study
the source of my smile
Swimming in smoke
Wondering;
What was I thinking?
Sailing the skies
In a ship when it's sinking
Surfing the shadows
to spy on some dancers
skimming the surface
In search of some answers
Standing so still
I snuck past some soliders
Strictly to spill
this weight
from my shoulders
What keeps me from tracing
the source of your power

Faded & fragile
A testament to time
Fighting to live
loosing thier mind
Wheel-chairs & canes
Old photo's of gore
Widow's with children
while memories explore
Service with honor
more drugs in the system
a pension which dwindles
Still working against them
Frozen in history
a devalued opinion
In need of assistance
these forgotten civilians...

Where ever there is death
so lives a good story
For, with out pain & suffering
there is no glory"
I'm a time-bomb
ticking down
Just waiting to explode
Sifting thru my victims
as I search the open road
Meant for great destruction
with a target
to be announced
Sent to sing my peace
in the only
VOICE that counts
So scream to me an Opera
Tell me your tragedy
While I tie you in chains ...
