California SunshineIn a thriving city a boy was born,
growing up melancholy and forlorn,
thoughtful, with a poet's sensitive soul,
he knew he was different and unwhole.
His life would be both rose and piercing thorn.
He took to the road, and he travelled far.
In the Summer of Love, he found his star,
and for the first time, he felt happiness.

Jokers Lab
You know where he's at
He been in Gotham,
Whole city lit,
He grew and blossomed.
What he touches, he flips,
Moves with caution,
Always asks if you good
Load up attachment.
Map in his hands,
Survives in the woods,
Light up a match
He’s good in the hood.
Hustle forever, forever he should,
Walked through a path
With booby traps like the Goonies would.
He grew up a...

Into The Black Hole Sun - A Cosmic Ballad of Love, Loss and Illusion, Music Video
Shout Out
This piece was sparked by the imagery in a haunting Haibun written by my friend and fellow poet, Tom Woody — “The Last Dance Amid the Stars.” While his words inspired me, I followed a very different emotional path — one that avoids finality and leaves room for mystery and one’s own imagination....

SHE IS MUSIC[Verse 1]
She walks in like a quiet flame,
Soft as dusk and wild as rain.
A rhythm not heard, but known by heart,
She tears the silence gently apart.
She is music, the kind that heals,
Notes that no time or touch conceals.
And I was nothing—until her light,
Now I echo through her every night.
[Chorus]
She is music, I am her song,
A...

Celtic diva
in a land of make-believe
i roam the meadows
of a celtic realm where
bagpipes haunt the air by day
and in the midnight hour
harps are played by angels
in my world of fantasy
i own a castle by the sea
and have a voice of gold
i sing irish folk songs
all day long while looking
out my tower at the beauty
and i'm as...

Give me a dealCooking up a meal,
Give a deal,
Hit the reel keep spinning...
Flip it and win,
Feel the rush just for a minute.
Inhale, I prevail
I want the diamonds that glisten.
Talking to this toxic girl,
But I got no feelings.
I burn bridges sometimes,
'Cause I don’t like they children.
Tryna blemish my image,
I drive these hoes to a frenzy.
Tryna gaslight me
I talk...

Ode to Billy JoelGod made Billy Joel
gave him clothes
to dress my soul
I wear those clothes
listening to music
My style my face
my picture of grace
From young to old
the picture is told
Decades were made
that did not fade
Music that I will
always remember
My soul music
my September
The words of music
always displayed
the feeling of life
'The Piano Man's life'
'She's always a...

When Doves Cry“Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you” Prince (Prince Roger Nelson)
I am a die-hard fan of Prince and have been for many years
His music has evoked my emotions from desire to tears
I was in high school when his album “Purple...

LIFE IS A SONGLife is a song, my phone blasting the beat
With rock, travel quickly; with country, feel sweet.
And Classical makes aristocracy an attainable treat!
But I like the words, so powerful, true
Whether making me happy or making me blue
The poetry of song reaches the all, not the few.
So turn on the radio and soak in the vibe
Something...

Beat the Drum SoftlyBeat the drum softly, and beat it with heart,
Lay down a rhythm that rises from soul;
Small though indeed is the size of our part,
That which it is, we can still play in full.
Loud are the clashes that crash from the street,
Ominous thunder that thrashes from storm;
Myriad pacing of multitude feet,
Let still not chaos be your...

Aubadebecause of bad dating experiences
that’s really been confusing me for a while
his is something
that she refuses to mention
friends can only go so far
and frei is all he is limited to
poetic devices to express thoughts
might he create the condition of
her needing him
having one person to share your thoughts
in a life built together seems more novel
especially when...
