Man (to a Woman)
A woman that needs the arms of a man
Will constantly be colliding into doors
If she expects wolves to change clothes
Then all she will wear are tears in her throat
The girl who dreams of fairy tales
Will have to live in daily nightmares

You Never Have To Dream
A dream is an illusion
Whereas an objective is valid
Coordinate your passions
To purposeful intentions
Optimizing commitment
For rational solutions
Then when you reached the end
And established the pinnacle
It becomes so much clear
You never have to dream

In Washington friendship follows the wind
In Washington friendship follows the wind
Its course steady as an earthquake
One fault line exposes all the sticks
Shuffling new backroom handshakes
Integrity blows like gale in the east
Succumbing to its own decay
Revealing the only constants deceit
A Machiavellian parade

A late night walk that ends in Peace - June 22,2012
Vultures meander on their bikes
the gas station lights flicker
I walk with quickened pace and brawn
To escape their rapacious tongs' that glimmer
Obscenities chew centurion words
Bayonet looks from across the river
On asphalt roads of distant concrete
I escape to be their dinner

A Rose Grows In The Night
A rose grows in the night
Lit beneath the diamond lights
Petals smooth in silken magic
Blossom crimson shaded fabric
I touch the stem and thorns
Disappear from their tragic court
Scent regales the pollens nectar
That sings in childhood's laughter
Where smiles are like roses
That grow inside the night

Acronyms
A-nnoying professional documents
C-onstantly contain meager puns.
R-idiculous features of ill humor semantics
O-bfuscating the contents with asinine
N-ouns propositioned in stupid arrangements
Y-et satisfy know one but dull bureaucrats
M-anagment types who build programs with
S-tupidly unfunny acronyms

Colour of Happiness
The colour of anger is Red
Frustration connubial to Dread
The colour of love is Purple
Sanguine to Aphrodite's myrtle
The colour of life is green
Freshly mixed with infused submarine
But the colour of happiness is transparent
A viscous antonym of denotation
and I am the colours Souvenir
Cheap, artefact of a personas facsimile

In a garden that's imagined
Hold your tongue
Before you speak
Listen for sighs
Then continue to repeat
Trade the rage
For the pen
By spilling words into a fountain
Rippling rich cascading language
With a resonance sheathed in beauty
Conceived from our perceptions
To struggle against the universal
To ferment your own salvation
Which echoes lost our Dionysius
In a garden that imagined

Strange Bedfellows
Anne Coulter entered a room with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Instead of passing insults they embraced their secret love
Both traced their hungry fingers around each other's tentacles
Playing one leg up of footsie while moaning death to homosexuals
Afterwards they shared a cigarette and joked about the holocaust
It's amazing how shared hatred makes the strangest of bedfellows
