MAD SOUP
Encapsulated smoked filled room
Conflates with the dimming aurora
The darkness now transcends deeply
Into the unknown fathoms of my mind
Implosive depression fills the . . .

YOUR LOVE MAKES ME WHOLE
For My Children, Daniel and Anna
My love will follow you
Where ever you go
To the highest mountain
The valley so low
If you need a hand
To hold . . .

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
Yellow rays caress my skin
Heat wakes me from a restless slumber
Feet hit the floor, something is different
Today nothing will bring me asunder
This dawn I feel . . .

I paint with words
So lavishly spread
They tumble from my pen
They jumble in my head
They drip from my brush
They ooze from my brain
They speak of great love
As well as deep pain
They color my . . .

stop lying
saying you know what is true
stop lying
telling me you know what to do
stop lying
begging me not to go
don't you know
that I can see through your disguise
and I know that you lie
stop trying . . .

last night
I drank as I used to do in my
youth
and I lived to regret it
my body
rejecting the poison
in my system
so I suffer
as I know I must
It's enough to scare me
sober
but in a . . .

I can do anything
I can do everything
I am unstopable
I am invincible

I can't do anything
I can't do anything well (enough)
I am a shit
I am a piece of tattered paper---

I've had a pretty interesting range of experiences in my short life. I had always planned on writing about them to supplement my retirement; but I've decided not to wait.
Last week, I sent this . . .

THERE IS A WOMAN
There is a woman who seems quite confused
I often see her playing in the grassy fields like a child
She hops, skips, and twirls around in her dress, upon her face a smile

I don't know you
but come to me
don't you care who I am today
I am somebody's mother
nobody's prostitute
everybody's friend
so come to me Henry
come on
and taste the freedom of no . . .

why is my heart
so open to you
why is the sky
much more than blue
I cannot see the stars
because your eyes' so bright
I wish that I could be with you tonight
is there a chance
that we could be one . . .

two lost souls
crying in the rain
two lost souls
trying to explain
the common pain we share
that substitutes for care
how could it come to pass
looking through a glass
two hearts hope
for an end to tears . . .

I found my old viewmaster
I had it as a child
but all the older photo discs
are lost
were never filed
I wish I had a disc of you
your face in stereo
the times we had
are past and done
why did you let me . . .

It would be so nice
But it's a roll of the dice
And I'm not lucky with such games of chance
I'd be losing it all
If our love should fall
So I'm lucky just to have this dance
Strangers . . .

I was walking down Broadway
just passing the scene
when the Devil drove my way
in a big limousine
and he said, "Hey, honey
I could sure use a smile
and I've got money
to make it worth your while" . . .

defuse the bomb inside my head
before I say what's best unsaid
disarm the guard inside my brain
before he makes me go insane
my heart is ticking
my thoughts are tricking
me to divulge the one thing . . .

Although I'm mostly a poet, I've tried unsucessfully to create novels from ideas that I've had in the past. Today, though, I got what I consider the "perfect" inspiration for a novel. . . .

I think my desk is reflective of my life. Bits and pieces, scraps of paper, old pictures, new picture, some labeled, most not. The papers have bits of information that I thought was important . . .

For David
If I could,
I would grab a handful of sugar
to sprinkle along your path to
make it forever sweet.
If I could,
I would reach beyond the stars
and grab a galaxy
so you could . . .

With my Super-ego on a mental day off
and my Ego listless in its varying cloaks
I journey deep to the mines of my Id
where the soot and sweat coated laborer lives.
I silently witness the coal . . .
