Looking through my drops view.
Seeing the ocean in all of you.
While calm seas is what I seek
All I see is drops who are not meek
If they ever understood the power they are
They wouldn’t want to be a star
Gyre
Soul
Gyre is soul
Soul is Gyre
Think about it
You know it’s true
I’m talking truth of what we are from my view

I don’t run this world

I don’t run this city
I don’t run this country
I don’t run this world
I don’t run anything but myself
I own the choices I make
I won’t ever play it fake
I own myself
I won’t blame anyone else
Drive back the divide
That keeps us divided
Feelin’ we’ve been shortsighted
Let this fire be ignited
How can we pretend it’s OK
There is nothing OK
What you cast about is taking from all
You could be giving to all
Take care of yourself as selfish as we can be
We’ll all drowned with this kind of liability
Take care of other
Each and every sister and brother
It’s the only way
That we’ll all be OK
I don’t run this city
I don’t run this country
I don’t run this world
I don’t run anything but myself
I keep on givin’
Ain’t trying to make a livin’
It’s not common
I’m a Taltos Shaman
Most have no clue what the fuck that is
It sure as hell has nothing to do with show biz
It’s a gift and a curse
That’s who I am
Love me or hate me
I’m never goin’ away
We can do this a better way
We
That’s you and me along with the rest
We
We can do this
We are better than this
We
Where’d I go

Where’d I go
Where’s the show
How’d I know
Wasn’t even there
Behind the stare
Now I can’t even speak
Unless one is in need
I wish it wasn’t this many that had more and more to say
No one listens anyway
Where’d I go
Where’s the show
How’d I know
They come beggin’ more and more
To see if I can settle their score
They don’t know what they’re askin’
With all this taskin’
They don’t the cost
If I told them, they’d be lost
Where’d I go
Where’s the show
How’d I know
Never asked for this
This kind of gift
No one should do what I do and know what I know
It takes the magic away
Turns it into majick in every word you say
In every word you say
Where’s I go
Where’s the show
How’d I know
When I arrive
When I arrive there’ll be no fanfare
When I arrive there’ll be no cameras
When I arrive there’ll be no social media circus
When I arrive there will be a mess for me to clean up
When I arrive there will be requests coming in
When I arrive there will be peace
When I arrive there’ll be no race
When I arrive there’ll be no gender
When I arrive there’ll be no wars
When I arrive there will be souls recognizing souls
When I arrive there will be love
When I arrive there will be Love

In the dark I found my light
In the dark I found my light
It was deep within hidden from sight
Around it flickered a small flame
A love that burned for no particular name
It lacked passion to fuel the fire
It lacked desire
In passion lies madness
Soaring joy and plummeting sadness
Rage that burns for a name
Passion is never tame
From passions flame the art of my life has sprung
No matter how it has left me undone
When one fuels your inner fire
When one brings forth desire
A choice is made by two
One and one each with their own view
Dive into the madness and take the ride
Or never be side by side
Let one and one die in the flames
As one love burns for two names
Let their fire
Their desire
Blaze a trail for all to see
As one and one become three
When one and one become we
The flame is all any can see
Ride the madness
Through the joy, rage and sadness
Let the adventure once begun
Be worthy for a song to be sung
Never looking back
As they roll down any set of tracks
Before one and one can take this ride
Each must find their light inside
Learn to let their own love burn even without a name
Learn to keep one tame
Until one who can handle the fire
One who can ride the desire
One and one fueling each others flame
Burning love in each others name
That’s worth a trip through the dark to find ones light
To make sure one and one get it right
When the lines dissappear
And the lines disappeared from view
It was there keeping one as two
When the walls come down and one and one meet
That is where we find life’s treat
Not in solitude all alone
In connection showing that we’ve grown
While solitude serves a purpose and is good for self reflection
You can’t be alone and build connection
Take the time to sort one out
Then take one out and about
Make eye contact and speak with kindness
Don’t allow yourself to develop solitude blindness
When alone we are blind
To all who would be kind
We take ourselves away
At times we need the break from the fray
Our true strength is in synergy
Nothing can top that energy
Two working as one
Whether it’s for work or for fun
It takes more than one to build any given thing
If no one hears it why even sing
If no one reads
Why let it bleed
If no one hears what is being said
One might as well be dead
A ghost never seen
That sounds kind of mean
Yes one should be whole in and of oneself
That does not mean we put all others on the shelf
It means one makes one whole to be better partner in the moment
When one and one share a comment
Let the comment grow into conversation
Who knows it could lead to elation
Nowhere is an idea that never existed
Nowhere is an idea that never existed but as a fable
I found it somewhere in the back of the front of my mind
It was right in between here and there that I found everywhere is somewhere
When I saw that nowhere could never exist
I found somewhere I liked the view
If you ever go in search of nowhere you will never find it
If you think you are nowhere
Look around and see that over there
Nowhere is an idea for escaping reality
Instead of going nowhere we always find ourselves somewhere
It’s a funny idea this nowhere
No matter how much you search for it you can only ever never find it
Take a trip with me
To a somewhere neither of us has seen
Let me see through your eyes and you through mine
So that even if one of us has been there before
Its a brand new view to explore
Let’s find nowhere to be
And see where that takes us
It’s a journey of the mind
That any two can take at any time
It’s the endless conversation about life the universe and most things
Exploring the view from over there
Letting another explore the view from over here
Compare but never compete
Relate and let it form intimacy
A bond of trust
Built on space shared
Built on experience shared
Built on repeated space shared
Built on repeated experience shared
Built by two in synergy
Built by three
The you the me and the we
Built by sharing space
Built by sharing experience
Built by sharing
Built
We look to find nowhere
When we feel like we have nowhere to go
We look to find nowhere
When we don’t like our view
If nowhere exists
It’s inside of me and you
It is the void that has no end
If you are there then it must be somewhere
And the idea of nowhere never existed but as a fable in the mind
Looking to escape from time to time
Even when they’re gone
Flippin’ through faces of the past
Those who have long since said good bye
Those who will come around someday
Those who always seem to be around even when they’re gone
A name I might not always find
I remember every face every time
I remember what was going on
I remember words said
I remember how it felt that day or was it night
I’m bad with names, but faces and space shared are never forgotten
It was that one time
You know at that place
Every detail there to recall
Only your name escapes the reel
It’s your face that starts the film
That reminds me why I’m smiling
The movie of the minds eye
That reminds me why I’m giving you a big ol’ hug
As separate ways are gone
My film for you has gotten longer
Some of your faces
I need to see in different places
Away from where we keep meeting
In a place where we can be one on one
To see what synergy there might be
Where do the views match up
Where do they go in different directions
Show me more of those flawless flaws
Let see more of who is behind the mask
Drop the game
And let me know you deeper than your name
Don’t see me as a player in your game
See me as I see you
Stop running away
You know I won’t chase
Though I’m always looking for your face
There are those who number few
Whose names I could never forget
It’s the ones I either give it all to or try to ignore
Some are family made in space shared
Some are family in bonds that will never break
Some are family in the name of family alone
Some come and then go
Some show here and there
Some always seem to be around even when they’re gone
As it flows is where it goes
I ran and ran
I never could out run it
It caught up to me
It wasn’t my past
It was myself
Who I was always afraid to be
A me that always made me feel guilty
I ran and I ran
I couldn’t run far enough
I couldn’t hide
I caught myself and not by surprise
Finding myself in the depth of their eyes
Always peering though to the core
Seeing the connection that was always there
The one we are just now discovering
Everywhere I turn I see my reflection
Always in perfect imperfection
I ran and ran
I thought I was running from them
I was only running from myself and who I was afraid to be
I ran and ran
Then I surrendered to my own flow
I ran and ran
I found myself in a familiar place looking at a familiar face
I let go and let it flow
I stood around and sometimes sat
As each reflection showed the fool I’d been
And how far I’d come
As it flows is where it goes
Here I am
The man I’ve always been
Now I’m walking and running no more
I surrendered to myself
I surrendered to what the mirror showed
I surrendered to the flow
Now as they say it’s time to get on with the show
The stage is set
The players in their place
Follow the prompts
Let go
Let it unfold as if the story has already been told
As it flows is where it goes
Even though
It’s the music that helps me hold it together every day
It’s the songs that keep me from throwing it all away
No matter the living hell
Every song a savior spell
It was in the song
I found what it meant to be strong
Even below the bottom floor
Every song opened the door
A journey out of this hell
To remember how to live well
How was it those good times were had
What was it that made them go bad
In a song you can find a movie
One that’s tragic or really groovy
Your memories show you the story
As the lyrics take you through old times of glory
Step out of the past and into the present
Using what you saw to make this now a present
A gift you give to yourself for learning the lesson
A gift you keep giving as the pain starts to lessen
Now get up off the floor
And get on out the door
Your life is waiting
For you to quit hesitating
Today is the one your living in
Regardless of any past sin
Let go of what holds you back
To ride life down a new track
Find a song
That helps you feel strong
Carry that strength deep inside you
See it there from the inner view
It was there all along
You just needed a reminder from the song
Music is what helps me hold it together any given day
It’s the reminder lessons I use to guide my own way
It’s why even though it’s uncommon
I’m The Rock N Roll Shaman
The Six String Soul Stealer
When I hear it screamin’ it nearly has me creamin’
When it’s played right it makes the soul sing all night
When it’s in the hands of an artist it ain’t even a contest
It is an endless mystery to even those who have achieved mastery
It will bring you to your knees and never has to say please
The string soul stealer know as the guitar has made many a star
It takes your soul to play it right on any given day or night
It owns your life and haunts your dreams waiting for you to once again make it scream
With it in your hands you can make many fans
Short for fanatic the ones you get frantic
Waiting for the next song to bring them alive as you and the soul stealer to dive
Dive deep within to bring them something new again
Acoustic or electric it’s all the same kind of majick
Majick of the soul that makes them feel whole
Gives the something to fill that empty space, something for them to embrace
Or does it take all they have left and give to those with the gift
Whose soul is this thing stealin’ that leaves so many reelin’
Weak in the knees willing to do anything to please
If you do it right they’ll bend to your will every night
You’ll get them off easy enough but you gotta bring your best stuff
Hold back even a little bit and they will tell you that you should just quit
If you don’t leave it all on the stage they will give you rage
If you give it all you got they give it back and give it back hot
Playing the six string soul stealer can make you a bit of a drug dealer
The fans always wanting more and more, maybe this soul stealer has made you a whore
It’s the majick and it ain’t no trick
So pick that thing up and give it all you got and live as if every day is your only shot
The six sting soul stealer known as the guitar asks for nothing less to make you a Rockstar
Memories
Step up and take your shot
Who’s next
Who’s left
Step up and take your shot
They keep coming one by one
When will this be done
It never ends
I’ll never bend
Who’s next
Who’s left
Step up and take your shot
One day this fight will end
Til then I make my stand
I’m not going to pretend
I really don’t want this to ever end
I live for the fight
Crave it day and night
Who’s next
Who’s left
Step up and take your shot
It’s the thrill of the fight
That makes me feel alive
It’s the battle won
That keeps me going on
Step up and take your shot
So it flows
In second sight
I found inner light
With the mirror turned inward
I found the steps to go forward
A voice from deep within
That knows nothing of sin
Home is your art
Your heart is your art
Let it travel and soar
In living art there is no score
How do you best show off just being you
The best of you from many a different view
That part of you that is afraid to be
Yet it’s more of this inner you they need to see
Never sellin’ it
Just livin’ it
That’s the art you are
That’s your inner star
The light the world needs to see
Coming from you and coming from me
Letting who we are as we live
Show the love we give
Not through conformity and labels
Through pro human love just because we are able
Let go
Into your flow
Let who you are
Be your own kind of star
Remember as life goes
So it flows
Blinded by Romantic Love
A hopeless romantic without a partner by my side
Makes it nearly unbearable the is life ride
Even though one is whole
To be joined is one’s only goal
Side by side souls mated
By choice alone are we fated
It’s torture not to feel her touch her warm embrace
It’s endless suffering not to be face to face
I feel so weak when it comes to you
The only one who can hurt me it is true
You stole my heart in one glance
In your arms I became a slave to your trance
I look for every way
To make this pain go away
Yet I know it will only end
In your arms again
What will it take to to get you to see
What your absence is doing to me
You consume my heart and my every thought
This is why I fought
I have never felt so lonely
Wanting you as my only
I feel as though I have gone insane
A man possessed in your name
You have stolen my heart
You are my art
The only thing that brings out my creative side
In this darkness waiting for the shifting side
I want to forget how to behave
I want to rant and rave
So much work I put into taming me
All undone by thee
I want to grab you and pull you to me to find sweet bliss
By shoring with you our first kiss
It’s the love of romance of this you can trust
Unconditional love mixed with lust
I want to worship at the temple of my Goddess
I want to give you my gentle caress
I want to ravage you all night long
It’s to you my lust belongs
I am a man who wants only one by my side
One to live out the rest of this life’s ride
It’s you I want as the Queen of my Universe
You living Goddess of this verse
Please end my pain
And take me into your arms again
I feel so crazy and insane
Loving you like this is no game
Passions Flame
Passions Flame
Burning hotter than ever
Consuming me whole
Fueled by the fire in your eyes
As you touch my skin
I know now
What angels breath feels like
It’s as if you can touch my soul
With your gentle caress
In time
I had one come after me
Wanted to bind and own me
Then I remembered where I last felt free
In the arms of another she
Feeling fully restored
Now I am a little bored
Lost in eyes that saw me true
Lost in the others view
I never tried to find this place
That I live in after an embrace
Patience comes with ease
As I wait for what made me weak in the knees
It’s been so long since I have tasted something like this
I call it peace with a side of bliss
It makes it easy to find my way
Even when playing in the sway
Every muse leaves their mark
On the artists heart that is where she lit the spark
Feeling at home in my own skin
Seeing without seeing sin
Reclaimed my darkness as my own
My sacred space that is my creative home
I need no other to join me in this space
I found me whole behind my own face
In time one might join me of her own choice
Using the power of her own voice
The last the dared to try and bind me
Never again in the darkness will find me
The one who set me free
Is always free with or without me
I have no desire to own thee
I accept that which comes willingly
To find the love I have to share
With one who will take the dare
To meet me in the dark
To see what might spark
I sit and wait
As the muse does hesitate
What fate shall become of me
As I dream of thee
In time the story will unfold
What doe this story hold
Only two will know
And only if they join their flow
The flow of love that springs from within
The flow between two that can find no sin
No games ever played
What stands in our way will be slayed
The beast stirs within
Waiting to begin
In time
Will she choose to be mine
A choice
Made by her voice
Ever waiting
For the muse to stop hesitating
Cold Comfort

Lost in you
Getting lost
Has no cost
It’s a way
To understand the sway
Finding direction
Through inner reflection
First let go
Into the flow
See where it takes you
Let it change your view
Let it bring out
The things you doubt
That you can do
See what’s really in you
Let go of their view
It will only fuck you
If you’re going to bring it true from the deep within
Forget about the idea of sin
Let passions fire
Rise higher and higher
Let what fuels the fire
Become your living desire
To fly like the fire bird
Soaring ever higher with every word
Let it pour from your soul
Knowing you are whole
Letting your wants for fleshly pleasure
Be with one you will always treasure
Let that lust fly
And take it beyond the sky
Connect and mate our souls in loves embrace
Let it take you every place
That place you never thought you could go
Come on and let go
Let’s find the night
To be in delight
Starting with the never ending conversation
That leads to the ultimate sexual relation
A bond built on trust
So you can fully unleash the lust
Get lost in the eyes
Never in lies
Let go into the we
And tell me what you see
In your eyes I get lost
And to stay there I would pay any cost
In your arms freedom found
No I’m totally unbound
I might be intense
From me you will never need defense
Now I am lost in you
Come get lost in me too

Take a Stand

To be
At the end of the silver line
At the end of the silver line there is a woods for those out of the game
A place that has no name
A place to find serenity
A place that lives in eternity
In my Dojo I sit meditating
Sitting and waiting
At peace with creation
In bliss with a side of elation
No need to knock there is no door
Come take up a place next to me on the floor
Tell me what brought you here
Now that we know you have conquered fear
If you have a secret
A regret
You’ll never make it off the line
You’ll be tied to it in your mind
Let go of who you have been
Forgive yourself for the sin
Live in the now the never ends
To break free of the line and find the woods of legend
Out of the game
In the woods with no name
A place to explore
What you never could before
It’s not heaven and it’s not hell
It’s the place of the never ending spell
The only thing missing in this verse
Is a queen to be the center of my universe
One who enjoys these woods I found
One who is willing to stick around
One that knows how to share bliss
Without even one kiss
One who feels me from the core
To even find my Dojo missing a door
Synchronicity
Simplicity
When the mirror retracts
And there are no more acts
When all that’s left is me and you
I look forward to that view
Though still from time to time
I look to see if anyone is coming down the line
Always people crossing from side to side
Based on their own inner tide
But one done with the game
Looking for the woods with no name
This one I cannot find
Though I still look from time to time
Then it’s back to my Dojo and my own bliss
The game is nothing I miss
When Silver met Gold
The silver mirror reflects true that which is deep inside of you.
It’s not pure gold but it’s pure and true.
Loved by a silver heart
Is to be loved by living art
A love that loves you more
That has a golden key to unlock this loves door
A golden heart hidden within the sacred dark
Is what it takes to truly get this silver heart to spark
It’s when I reflect what’s within you
That I repeatedly fall in love with you
It’s what I see in the darkest part of you
That so few ever get to view
That dropped my mirror
You saw me clear
Silver met gold
In tale to ever be retold
Mirror broke mirror
With love not fear
The passions flame that rises for this golden heart
Let’s me let her be free as her own living art
For all of She
Has now become a reflection of thee
The Muse Strikes
The Muse strikes in the day and the night
She strikes beyond sight
She strikes at the core
She opens the creativity door
In the darkest part of your soul and being
Bringing to life something new worth seeing
Maybe a new twist on an old time
Maybe something new with and old twist in mind
When she strikes with love
It’s twice she strikes of this you can be sure of
Once that has you falling
Finding new poetic ways of calling
Then as the gypsy heart the muse she is gone
And the poetry is spewed forth and cried through until dawn
Broken hearts
Create great art
Fools whose hearts sing
Can be ever creating
It’s in the loss
You find the cost
The one you hoped not to pay
As you fell for the muse anyway
Each and every muse had me when our eyes met
Something I’ll never regret
Let what awaken with each one
Never come undone
Let these muses be free
To inspire all of thee
If you be loved by one you be loved by all
Let yourself ever fall
My best advice
Because it’s never the same trip twice

It doesn’t take perfection
It doesn’t take perfection
To win my affection
Is doesn’t take direction
To get my attention
Just be who you are
Show me that inner star
Show me the love you live
And I will give give give
To put a smile on your face
In every sacred space
The space we share
If you dare
Could become and embrace driven by lust
However it is never a must
Share with me your presence
To give me presents
Give me your attention
Even if you can’t give me your affection
I will never give direction
As you are already perfection
If you ask my advice
I will always think twice
I never want to be the one and it ain’t no joke
That left your heart broke
I love hard and with all I got
Now matter the spot
I keep my hands to myself
Until you pull me off the shelf
I work for your trust
Not your lust
I will take it if given
And I’ll take you to heaven
A trip for two
No one else gets to view
Your presence is the gift to my soul
But I don’t need you to make me whole
If you get me to break and make the first move
Hold on for one hell of a groove
Patience is a virtue
Yes it’s true
The longer you wait to give in
The better the sin
Righteous debauchery when soul and flesh combine
I am going enjoy taking my time
Make it last
To give you a reason to look at the past
I am no whore
Just want to make sure you’ll want more
Even if it never gets that far
I love you for your inner star
I always want you presence
I don’t need any presents
Be your own version of perfection
And you will always get my attention

Holding sacred space for every face

Evolving star
In the darkest part of the dark
Is where you light the spark
The light that grows
As it flows
It’s where the light goes to refine
To change its shine
To bring to life something new
From a different view
Wearing it like it fits
No matter how much fire the dragon spits
It’s in heart of the dark
That’s where true art finds its spark
Livin’ in the sway
All night and day
Flowin’ on that ocean
Known as emotion
Never afraid to bring forth something new
And let it be something for all to view
Let the fire burn bright
So what if it gives some a fright
Live what brings passion flame
Always evolving and never the same
Let yourself go
Get into the flow
Forget about thinkin’ your way through
Let the art live through you
Give in
As if you are already forgiven
Enjoy what’s in the dark
That gives your living art its spark
Never feel shame for who you are
And let yourself be that star
Live the story
Fuck off the idea of glory
Make your choices and lay in your bed
Then sleep as if you were dead
When you rise reborn as someone new
Who has a slightly different view
Let is come from deep within
And never let it feel like sin
Be the living art
Live your new part
Never let it be pretend
Never feel the need to defend
It’s only in the dark
You can change your spark
Never go in fear
Never stop a single tear
Let if flow from the core
That opens every door
Love yourself true
No matter the living art view
Never forget who you are
An ever evolving star

I got love for all your hate
I got no hate to give
Hate is no way to live
I got love for all your hate
You can do it too, it’s not too late
One love
Needs no shove
One race
In every human face
Meet eye to eye with open arms
There is no need to do harm
Share the love in every embrace
With each and every human face
One love is one race
We live in every place
History can bite my ass
Holding on to it shows you have no class
It holds hate and creates more
Closing love’s door
Fuck the hate of the past
Don’t let it last
Heal the pain
To become sane
Hate only breeds hate
That is a dead end fate
One love is what we need
One race of only the human breed
It’s not too late
To keep on creating this new kind of fate
It’s a shared reality
Let’s not let it become fatality
Change your view
To heal the pain inside of you
One love one race
Love every human no matter the face
Live in love

Love can take any form between any two of us
Live in love and romance is semantics
Live in love and always find the form you need as you need
Live in love and find a soul to swap pieces with because emotion flows like a stream not an ocean of endless swells of highs and lows
Live in love and heal thyself to inspire healing in others
Live and give in love to reap occasional bliss when sowers sow alike
Live in love to teach love in living
Live in love to love life
Live in love to live
Live in love
Live
Of the Gods that never were and have always been
A world within but unknown
Making sure you reap as you have sown
Some try to cheat existence
Trying to tip the balance
A secret game being played
Even though it is fully displayed
Guardians walk among you
Who have the over head view
They see every move made
Even the ones not displayed
A secret world exists within but unknown
Those who walk both sides know not what it means to be alone
Always aware
Of what is always there
The ignorance you have is bliss
Be quite certain of this
The other side has many dangers for sure
For the unknowing adventurer
Drop the veil for a peek
Of that which I speak
Be warned that what you see
Has already been watching thee
Waiting for the moment to show you
What it has seen from its view
The first few are always a fun ride
Just to make you think it’s safe on the other side
The next few trips
Will include some slips
To make you question
The messengers intention
That mystic thing you can’t see
That has always been watching thee
It will always lie
It will with what it shows your eyes
It will always be true from some view
What is laid out before you
When the Demon sucks you in
It looks like an Angel to begin
Promises of glory
And a really good story
Soon you find
The Demon left you behind
No longer can you see it’s face
Yet you feel the laughter from the forbidden place
The place it led you to
To fuck endlessly with your view
There’s a reason for the lock on the door
It’s so the other side you can ignore
When you walk both worlds you long for that door to someday close
The one you were born with open to you, not one you chose
It’s simply tragic
That we have forgotten the Majick
Of the Gods that never were and have always been
The ones here until it ends that were here to watch it begin
The ones who answer prayers given in no gods name
They answer wishes and wants the same
They are what you resist
That will always persist
The nameless force
That seems to take your life off course and on course
What could it be
These gods we can not see
Is it Angels and Demons under control
Of God and the Devil each living a role
To keep it all going and in balance
Do they work together by chance
Who keeps them in check for the job they do
Managing existence for me and you
Of the Gods that never were and have always been
The ones here until it ends that were here to watch it begin
The War of Art
I found me today
I was right here where I stay
No more reflection
Only a projection
No more mask
For any given task
Only letting go
Only letting it flow
Who knows what path lay ahead
Walking through the walking dead
Swimming in a sea of lies
Time standing still as it flies
It’s called now
That’s how
A moment of frozen motion
Powered by emotion
Truth is beauty
Love is duty
It is the beauty
That drives the duty
In the war of art we have only just begun to fight
You haven’t seen the brightest of our light
You haven’t met the darkest part of us that will always exist
The more you resist the more we persist
It’s our passion that burns our fire bright
It’s our love that will win this fight
You call it marketing and branding because everything needs to sell
I call it the Devil’s tools for creating an earthly hell
Who else would make it a need
To feed the greed
Who else would use your emotions against you to get you to buy in
Who else would convince you not going along is the sin
If not the Devil than who
Would use marketing and branding to get control over you
To convince you that you need that worthless thing
Who else would try to sell you everything
Who would give you tips and guides
On how to make it on the cool kids only ride
Playing on your fear of being alone
Tapping your fear of being totally unknown
Of being forgotten or lost
If you don’t go along with it, well that’s the cost
Got do it their way
If you think you are going to play
Art is an expression of love
That leaps blindly and never needs a shove
Unconditional love is as black as the Pit
It’s why only true artists use every bit of it
Whether it be light or dark
Anything lights our spark
Get’s the juices flowing
Get’s us up and going
On to the next creation with obsessive desire
That is the artists fire
Our flame never dies
Our art never lies
We don’t create to sell
We don’t live in that hell
It’s the heavenly view we see
Where we are already free
Free to be you and me
Free from conformity
It’s the artist war to fight
All of the day and all of the night
Art has already won
The lies falling apart and coming undone
This what the artist calls fun as they rage on
It’s what their art is built upon
A rage fueled by loves fire
Not some selfish desire
The artist is done reflecting
Now it’s time for some projecting
To bring out your best
Come together over love
No need to shove
Let it come from within
For the feeling to begin
It’s love it’s true
That is inside of me and you
When we forget the past and embrace the flow
That love will grow
As we give it amplifies
To make sure that this love never dies
Never let your light dim day or night
Don’t let them tempt you into a fight
Beam your love every where you go
To increase the world flow
It’s the cure for societal ills
That can’t be cured with pills
It’s the notion
Of the language of emotion
Speak with love and yes it’s true
You’ll find majick hiding inside of you
Let love be your guide
And wisdom flows from inside
Let love flow
And it will grow
Put it to the test
To bring out your best
Skulls and Roses

The Skull and the Rose
Is the reason for this prose
One for Death’s mask
One for Life’s task
If you look behind mask
You find the task
It’s not to come and claim you at the end
That is the task of my friend
Life has to wear a scary mask
On occasion for a given task
To scare you
Into a different view
That leads to making a choice
A different way to use your voice
To bring into your flower
Something of true power
In Life’s task
Life dawns Death’s mask
The skull to scare you of the end
The rose to remind you embrace the beauty around you my friend
In each of us is a flower
A Soul Flower
It can bloom in infinite ways
Depending on what you feed it throughout the days
When we get hurt its true
We can grow thorns that prick you
The Skull and the Rose
Often inspire prose
How much have you read
Out of fear of becoming dead
What you feed you mind
Comes through the bloom in time
Feed it with the beauty of life and love
And give Death’s mask a shove
See what lie within
It is Life there with a grin
I say fear the Reaper never more
Let him come knock at the door
A teacher and a guide
No matter the ride
Something we all have in common
Even if you’re a Rock ‘N’ Roll Shaman
Though it’s true when loved ones get that final healing
It can leave us reeling
Just remember this
They now live in sweet bliss
Touch the bliss with in you
To see it from their view
It will dry the tears
And chase away the fears
You will see
The endless beauty
Life and Death the endless dance
Life and Death the endless romance
The Skull and the Rose
Might not be the only reason for this rose
From the Light to the Pit and back
When it came time
To let my light shine
I was afraid, yes it’s true
And I dove into the Pit out of view
I feared myself to be
A false light that would mislead thee
In the Pit was where I thought I belonged
Though to be in the Light was what my heart longed
I put on a Silver mask
For my next task
To see from every view
That my light was true
I took off my mask
For my next task
To be in the light
Day and night
Never to deceive
No matter the spell I weave
I’ll never really forget
What I saw in the Pit
It showed me how to be
A better light for thee
A better teacher
Never a preacher
A better guide
To help you reveal what is inside
Yes it’s true, the light in me is the light in you
Shine for me and I’ll shine for you
Shaman
It days gone by
The Shaman has yet to die
A figure that endures the test of time
Sometimes a gift passed down family lines
Walker of both worlds and a healing guide
Never really taking a side
When you walk with the spirits and can see their plan
You understand why a Shaman would choose to take a stand
So much of the other side is there to tempt you
To lead you away from the inner view
To seduce into thinking there are ways to cheat and jump ahead
Ways that too often leave you dead
Dead inside because you gave it all away
To that you thought would save the day
Only you can do you the favor
Of being your own savior
If you make the choice that leads to self destruction
That’s avoiding the inner instruction
All the Shaman can do is plant the seed in one
The work to make it grow is your deed to be done
If you need a guide to figure out an issue
A Shaman can help you adjust your view
The soul is what a Shaman helps you heal
Your inner knowing a Shaman helps you reveal
A teacher and guide
No matter the ride
Using metaphor
Sometimes myth and lore
A story teller whose stories have a point
Though they might be shared over a joint
When the student is ready the teacher will appear
And when the teacher arrives often the student fills with fear
Not knowing what lessons are left
Knowing it will always be a test
It’s always better to ask questions than to argue
It’s the only way to understand another view
Learn as you go
You will always grow
Fight the mirror in front of you
Be bound by your chosen view
Only you can set you free
It’s how you live that turns the key
Walking what you have spoken
Even if you thought you were only jokin’
Connected by a thread
Connected by a thread
Alive or dead
Found in every form that can be taken
Eternally dancing and making
In a flow
That just says go
And it runs on its own
From what we have sown
Letting it unfold
Though it has been foretold
Not even a day in advance
Before the beginning of this dance
A conversation with no ending
Neither one ever pretending
The night I had is still going
Though I am finally slowing
I haven’t slept at all
However I am beginning to stall
Connected by a thread
No matter where each lay their head
It just flows
As it goes
It brings forth my light
Be it day or night
When I looked at the stars last night
Poetry spewed forth about the dark and the light
As I watched the sunrise
It was with new eyes
Seeing every bit of beauty to be found
As I took a drive all around
I know where home is now
I leave it to the Big U on the how
Follow the signs
As we move through time
Being who we are
Shining bright from the inner star
Two lights will collide
And it will be a sweet ride
Connected by a thread and not by chance
Always meant to do this dance
Now that I have seen day turn to night
And night to day before my waking sight
I go off to find the sweetest dreams you wished for me
I hope you found them for thee
Empath: This our being in being
I feel your pain
Without even knowing your name
What you thought you were hiding
Is now within me residing.
I take it as my own
So you will not feel alone
My gift is my curse
That I describe with this verse
As each day passes
I reach out and feel the masses
When I go out alone
I get buried under things unshown
It’s hard not to let in
All these things you hide within
I may not know you
But I’ll always feel you
I don’t try to shield
I simply yield
I take it for a while
So I can see you smile
You never have to ask
My being is this task
I’ve done it my entire life
Holding everybody’s strife
I ask for nothing in return
But I do yearn
To have one by my side
To help me take it all in stride
I’m a teacher and a guide
In the war I no longer reside
Teaching others to inspire
To reach from need and not desire
Guiding others to a new path
One absent of destructive wrath
From my hearts bottomless well
Comes the infinite healing swell
My love for all is never ending
In this I am never pretending
I am Empath born with a gift
I am Empath we heal the rift
The one between the heart and the mind
Your true self I help you find
Come to me without fear
So you can see things clear
Share your pain with me
As you do we are a we
Two souls synched as one
Have no fear it can be undone
I can read your soul
I can help you be whole
I know you behind the mask
This is this beings task
To see passed your life
To see what is under the strife
What you thought was lost
I can give back at no cost
Just come and take my hand
Together let us stand
Take my strength as yours
Let me heal those soul sores
There may be scars left behind
They are there to remind
Things you should not do
Now that I have restored you
When you find your way to me
It’s your soul I always see
I feel you at any distance
I have since first glance
This is my gift
It acts quite swift
I do it because I care
It’s my gift to share
Refuse it don’t you dare
Don’t let it give you a scare
If you run from me
I will not chase thee
I will let you be
As you walk away from me
It breaks my heart every time
They turn and leave me behind
It’s a gift and a curse
Some days are better and some worse
Depends on what you think you are hiding
That now is within me residing
In a glance
In a glance
Knowing it’s not random chance
In the the longer look
Seeing the beginning of a new chapter in life’s book
What will be written as the flow goes on
Remains hidden and can feel more like a song
A gentle rhythm and words so sweet
It moves through you and puts you on your feet
As the confusion sets in
It’s time for the dance to begin
Let yourself go
Let the music of life flow
Feel the love from head to toe
Feel yourself lost in the flow
Don’t stop to think
That’s how you sink
As you go through your day
Let the music of inner love move you on your way
As the story unfolds in words and actions
Refining projections during inner reflections
It causes a ripple felt far and wide
What you bring from the inside
To connect in the moment shared
Even if you might be a little scared
To let down your guard
Sometimes can be hard
However it is must
If anything is to ever be built on trust
If a story worth sharing is be written
Fear must be shed and forgotten
Let go
Let it flow
Trust your inner voice
To guide you through every choice
And the chapter fills itself in
With tales of glory and sin
The journey with no true end
Simply a transformation for another chapter to begin
In this new chapter my life writes
I look forward to taking in the sights
Losing myself in the musical flow
Knowing none of it is a show
It’s a tell
The result of life’s spell
Woven with words an emotion
Carrying me across the ocean
The sea of souls fed by rivers of streams
Ever moving with hopes and dreams
It’s never random chance
That I stop and take a glance
In the depth of my view
I found me in you
The eternal connection of infinite reflection
These eyes of mine
See the other side of the line
Into the dark places we wish we could forget
The things we may still regret
They see the fullness of the light
That you are for others sight
They see you perfectly flawed
It’s your imperfections that leaves me in awe
Sometimes that’s impressive
Sometimes it’s depressive
Does it bring a smile when you show your ass
Does it bring out wrath
Whether it be silly ass or smart ass
Dumb ass, jack ass or wise ass
Some asses get smacked and others kissed
It all depends on what was hit and who got missed
When I see the show
That comes from the inner glow
It’s pleasure to stand back and see
What these eyes of mine find before me
When it comes from the core
Are the shows that make me want more, more, more
I see behind the mask
Of your given task
When you bring it true
I see me in you
Seeing the soul within
That is where we all begin
The eternal connection
Of infinite reflection
The Endless Dance of Life and Death
There is an endless dance
It has nothing to do with romance
It’s beat starts in the heart
The beginning of all living art
The birth of the inner fire
That is desire
Desire to touch and hold
Desire to break every mold
Desire to be
Desire to see
Desire to hear and be heard
Desire to stand out from the herd
Desire to live
Desire to give
Desire that creates the life that has us afraid
Of the day it’s in the ground we are laid
The music of all life around
Regardless of the nature of the sound
Ever wonder why
How will I die
Does knowing it will some day end
Add value to the time as you spend
The finite numbers of days that is your life
Or does it cause you strife
Life and Death are two sides of the same coin it is true
One can not exist without the other no matter your chosen view
I say pick your death and live accordingly
And Death can be quite the guide acting quite supportingly
Death is nothing more than a transformation
To something that is quite beyond imagination
Life as we know it just another form
To ride the emotional love storm
That is the endless dance
That sometimes involves romance
Otherwise what’s the point
Of taking on flesh and living down here in this joint
Enjoy the dance
Treasure each romance
Live to die some day
It’s going to happen anyway
Pick your Death and let that choice guide your turns
As your guided to what makes your soul burn
Come alive from inside
To make it a kick ass ride
Giving yourself quite the highlight reel in the rear view
When you got the time to hang out with you
I am off to dance to the music I live
It’s my gift to me to give
Find your flow
And dancing through life you will go
The inner cage of the beast called desire
In the light do we not dance with our darkness still
Is it not simply a matter of will
No matter how hot the fire
It’s still a choice when dealing with desire
Do you let the tiger out of the cage
Do you let the animal take the stage
Whether in darkness or in light
It’s an inner fight
No matter how hot the fire
Of the burning desire
Not every night
Is meant for that kind of delight
A patient mind they say reaps a great reward
Sounds like a good reason to sheath thy sword
I’m The Rock ‘N’ Roll Shaman and not a monk or a priest
Some things can’t go unnoticed by the inner beast
Though it stays in its cage
It does so with a hint of rage
It wanted to come out and play
In no particular way
It was halted from within
Before anything could even begin
Time to begin
Is this a test
Like all the rest
Another lesson to remind
Of another time
Not handling it the same
Not giving into the game
Character refining moments are often spent alone
Deciding what to do about what was shown
It’s in these times in between examining all the pieces to paint a better picture stepping back
That we often see from the detached view things are all on track
Nothing out of place and everything where it belongs
Regardless of whether or not we’re face to face listening to the same songs
Things come together over course of many journey’s had by wanderers and bards
Similar souls who often first meet outside of bars
It is a tribe of souls who reflect each other true
Each having their own cinematic view
Bringing stories together to share the stage
It’s in making the art of living the performance art that’s becoming all the rage
It takes an independent view
That allows me to be me and you to be you
It takes a shared view of understanding and love
It’s a view that leaps without a shove
You can feel who shares it before you ever meet
You feel it with each and every heart beat
Masters of projecting and inner reflecting
Finding the mirrors of themselves are now intersecting
What they project
When they connect
It all gets amplified
And felt world wide
Forming a chain and bonds felt in the soul
Even though each of us is whole
Getting linked to form the chain of love and kindness
However not out of ignorance or blindness
It’s been shown again and again
That it’s time for this show to really begin
I know this band of bards I call my friends
When they read this I hope they realize once we begin it never really ends
Go ahead and laugh and get it out
Remember there is no need to ever again doubt
And to the other 2 with whom I share an unbreakable knot
This is something for us 3 to never let be forgot
It’s a bond deeper than most and made by choice
Each of us accepting with our own voice
Once upon time I had no choice in who to trust
And now it’s whatever we 3 are doing or bust
For those of you who are wondering
Keep letting your mind go wandering
Majick Vs Magic
It is quite tragic
That so few understand true Majick
Magic is for amateurs who need the show
Majick is for those who found the flow
One is full of trappings and cages
One is how fools become sages
One has rules and steps to follow
It can often leave you feeling hollow
One says every word is your never ending spell
Each conversation and invocation of show and tell
We put on the mask
For our given task
Let the words flow though
That will always be true
If your desire
Comes from a inner fire
That brings out your best
No matter the test
If it calls upon the worst in you
Might wanna change your view
Speak well
Live well
That is is the simplicity of Majick
Versus the trappings and cages of magic
It’s based in one simple Karmic Law that is ever providing our direction
We reap what we sow in our every thought, word and action
Change the story that is on a repeat
By changing what you say to the people you meet
Let them see your inner light shining true
More people will want to be around you
Those who can’t handle it
Are usually the ones full of shit
It’s no loss
To let them kindly fuck off
If you can’t be truly you
Who could ever be true to you
It’s tragic
How few embrace their true Majick
Death is a transformation
Death is a friend
Death is a healer
Death isn’t the end
It’s the great revealer
A change in form
Nothing to fear
Death is the norm
It’s always near
Like the caterpillar
In its cocoon
A butterfly interstellar
You’ll become soon
Death is friend with another side
Life is the name
From it so many hide
Or treat like a game
Only surviving from day to day
Playing by the rules and keeping scores
What death sees along that way
A long line of pimps and whores
If its life you want to live
Its the love you must give
If you don’t get it right
Have no fear my friend
Your death just might
Allow you to try again
True Blue
Have you been to the dark side of the moon
Have you seen there is no spoon
Did you take the quest
Did you pass the test
Have you been insane
Have you played the game
Some say insanity is a bad thing
Some like the repeating
If you don’t like what keeps popping up
Try drinking from a different cup
If you like the things that happen on a repeat
Keep performing those feats
There is an insanity that is so ever sweet
When it’s based in love with those you meet
You find yourself in the same dance
Knowing it’s never by chance
Though the partners change from time to time
You really don’t mind
If gives a chance to always enjoy more views
To reveal more of what is inside of you
If they don’t notice what’s beaming from within
In moving on there is no sin
The only sin is the insanity of hell
That you weave with your own spell
The lessons you never learn
That lead to that repeated burn
Not the one of your hearts true desire
The one that leaves you feeling as though it’s time to retire
If it feels good do it is what some say
Not caring about the sway
Forgetting for some of the highs there is a mighty low
That has you feeling as though you took a mighty blow
A shot to the head and the heart
That you had warnings of from the start
Now never fear
I’ll make it quite clear
If want to change the story
Stop searching for glory
Do what feels right and true
Glory will simply follow you
Making a bunch of noise
Is for girls and boys
As for women and men
Let your voice soften
Be sincere with your words and let them always be true
It will have a dramatic effect on yours and their view
It takes an inner desire to change what you’re projecting
With follow through to change what all is reflecting
It’s the Law of Reflection and the Cinematic View
That say to change your story it all starts within you
You can’t fake it or put on a show
It’s the Big U that you cannot snow
They may not know any one detail behind the mask
They feel the deception of your task
It’s why it’s all about being true
And letting it shine that which is in you
To hide it or play it small
Will guarantee no ride but a constant fall
You can test it if you will
I’ve had enough of that poison pill
It’s why I write this poetic verse
So that you may avoid your own curse
Change the tide to change the ride

Do you ride the wave
Do you create waves for others to ride
Is the wave you’re riding
A changing of the tide
In the ocean of emotion
That we all swim through every day in every way
It’s the waves we make
That shape our fate
If all we do is enjoy the ride
We are a slave to the tide
If we own our choices
And raise our voices
It’s a changing of the tide
To change the nature of the ride
Do you ride the wave alone
Feeling like a island made of earth and stone
Do you ride with others
Sisters and brothers
Do you let yourself be a part of other waters
The tide created by sons and daughters
A wave created by children
Is more aligned with being as one
Seeing how easy it is for ones to form a sum
We tell children to do this or that
Then become the living hypocrite
We tell them to share
Then hoard for ourselves our of selfish care
Telling ourselves it’s OK
To keep it all for ourselves this way
Finding reasons and excuses
To be so exclusive
It’s all here for all to share
It starts from within in the way we care
It will still be here after we are gone
No matter the strength of our song
The steady chorus of emotions sweet tide
That lays out before us the nature of our ride
We reap as we have sown
Once the seeds have grown
For it to be for the sum
It’s our desire for ourselves alone that must come undone
It’s the mastering of our projection
That changes the outer reflection
Be the change you wish to see
In the movement of the great sea
Ride the waves and create the ride
That will be the changing of the tide
The one that allows all to ride
No matter who they are inside
Letting the honesty of your flow
Be what it is you sow
Bringing your flow from deep within
Connected to the flow that has no beginning or end
It’s the connection to all that awaits
It’s deep within us all under all the hate
Forget the hate and heal the pain
And never again flow in vain
Creating a wave for all to ride
Creating a changing of the tide
The Circus of Lights
On each side
Is a different kind of ride
The carnival of dark souls
Looks to give you a roll
The circus of lights
To take away the fright
In the dance of the night
It is the circus that is the sight
That brings out the stars
From near and far
To show off who they think they are
Outside of the dark carnivals of souls bar
When they come out into the night
To be seen in the light
To tell tales of the times had
Both good and bad
To remember when
They engaged in that favorite sin
The one of pride
That starts the ride
Whether the spirals go up or down
Each and every one their own kind of clown
In the Circus of Lights
Outside every night
Every time the performers take to the street to get someone to see
That tonight is the night of the ever growing we
The clowns and the dancers
The seers and romancers
All come down for the show
That has it’s own kind of flow
Down into the dark carnival they go
Returning the circus to remember their own flow
Living works art each and every one
Art forever forming and coming undone
To be reshaped and molded a new
As it is with the ever changing view
It’s a shared stage
Never a cage
The movies of us all colliding
With no need of fighting
Makes for a grander design
A reason for the big line
In this stage we have all taken
It’s that kind of thing that we’ve forsaken
A dance of love
That needs no shove
Friends and brothers and sisters all around
Listen to the sweet sound
Of the circus and the clowns
Never tearing each other down
In the circus of lights
There are no fights
Only bright souls shining bright
Each and every night
Live
Existing for a moment
Or for all eternity
One in the same
Outside of reality
Inside the dream
Is there a difference
Bring them together
Find the answer within
Choose your path
Take every turn
Find that place
Between night and day
When all is still
The world bends to your will
Find the power within
To make your life your own
Or you have not lived life
It has lived you
The Nameless Man
The nameless man that walks alone
Where he goes
Not even he knows
His search
Is his life
He searches for her
The one that will bring him peace
Heal his soul
He knows not
Where she can be found
Only that he needs her touch
Her love
He travels on
Searching
Aching
Wanting
The nameless man that walks alone
Staring into the night
Staring into the night
Seeking my hearts only delight
Opportunity to learn and grow
Reaping well from what I sow
So with love and bliss
Reaping wisdoms kiss
Understanding passing through my lips
As I build new relationships
Letting go of those who would take me off my true direction
Making changes to my projection
Letting go of thoughts of fear and rejection
Letting wisdom guide my selection
Wisdom guided by love
Never needs a shove
Perhaps a gentle reminder
To be a little kinder
To soften the blow
As they reap what they sow
What we sow in each other
Is what we reap be it from sister or brother
One earth family yes it’s true
That makes a sister and brother of all of you
Forget the shape and the size it’s in the eyes
I forget her shape
I forget her size
I am too lost in her eyes
Sure the flesh is nice to look at
Sure it’s fun to hold
Were it not for what I found in her eyes
I would dare not be this bold
Any can throw on some make up and a fake smile
Looking into her eyes I see for miles
The miles of life led
The miles still left ahead
I forget her shape
I forget her size
I always get lost in her eyes
This mythical form that is She
That is always all around me
In every shape
In every size
All with imaginable depth behind their eyes
Some try to hide
Others shine with pride
No matter the shape
No matter the size
It all shines through their eyes
In the Theater
In the Theater
Not the movie theater
The one that’s lasted as long as we have been performing for each other
The Theater
The one that will never go away no matter how much technology we bring to telling the story
The Theater
The one where dialog is so masterfully crafted and delivered we can’t believe it’s a show
You never cry harder than you do in The Theater
You never feel the punch to the chest more then when you’re in The Theater
Whether it be outside or in
The pleasure is never a sin
The show on the stage before you
Sometimes can inspire a change in view
To be able to bring it from within
Over and over again
And have each performance
Be its own kind of romance
It’s one private seduction
With each and every production
No matter how many shows are in the run
Bringing in from within until the last one is done
The performing art that we forget
As if it’s some sort of dirty secret
The Theater is all around you
Simply change your view
And watch the performances and the players
See what lay within the layers
You never know who is going to be watching you
To see if you live your words true
The ones who bring it from within
Do it again and again
It looks different and sure some things change
The more something changes the more it stays the same
I forget who first used that verse
Google it if you want but please give me no curse
Go enjoy The Theater you never knew
The one always in front of you
The Razor’s Edge
You call it the razor’s edge
You only see it as a ledge
If you’re not careful you could fall
Tends to make you stall
Not seeing it’s not an edge but a line
And nothing is written for all time
The line is as wide as you need
Only if you walk it without greed
In times of introspection
Use it to refine your projecting reflection
Speak well
Live well
Speak sincere
And there will be no fear
Find the inner voice
That helps you make a better choice
That makes the results you like to see
A life that feels easy
Take the time to get it out
Take the time to remove your doubt
Find the faith that comes from within
Built on the experience whether glory or sin
The lessons learned
The times we got burned
Times we can never forget
That never holds an ounce of regret
Lessons we learn
To find that joyful burn
To feel the difference between pleasure and pain
Is the routine exercise in being beautifully insane
Each has lessons to teach
What they are can be different for each
It’s the same lesson through and through
I’ll be me and you be you
Let that be enough
To set aside the stupid stuff
And take it in
What each is beaming out from within
It’s only at night
That you can find the circus of light
During the day
The performers hide away
Perfecting their living art
Refining their part
Each has a part to play
On any given stage any given day
At times fading to the background
Not making even one sound
When you live without regret
There are too many moments you never want to forget
When you set the purest intent from within
Is when you start to see the real majick begin
Never forgetting during life’s test
That each and every one of us is blessed
The Muse that is She
By the light of the moon the brightest light can’t be seen
And I feel as though I’ve fallen into your dream
In the darkest hour of the day
Your light shows me the way
It’s the things you cast your light upon
That has me feeling drawn
Not by desire
It’s not that kind of fire
This burning within
Has nothing to do with any kind of sin
It’s not romance
It’s not the kind of dance
It’s the inspiration of a muse
To an artist feeling confused
Looking for direction
After careful introspection
As in days of old
A muse can neither be bought or sold
Whether she be goddess or queen
Her inspiration never obscene
She is not one
She is not won
She has many faces and each inspire
The artist to burn with that inner fire
To let it come forth from within
To never let it be about any kind of sin
It’s not his heart that drives this fire
It’s his mind that she inspires
She has no name
She plays no game
She is the moon on any given night
She that I could never fight
It’s all of thee
That could be she
As it is always been she
That is all of thee
That has brought out my best any given day
Inspiring me to bring it from within in every way
A blessing to remember
Remember you’re blessed
When life puts you to the test
It’s what turns things around
When you’re feeling down
Remember we’re all blessed
Each going through a different test
When you see someone down
Help them turn it around
Remind them it’s a test
And that they’re blessed
The Inner Room
In the inner room
There is joy and there is gloom
It’s the darkness inside us all
That refines the light that helps us stand tall
It can be a torture chamber of pain and fright
It can be a place of sheer delight
Somethings we seek within
We feel as though it is a sin
Some things we find in the dark
Give us a bit of a spark
In the inner room of the mind
Is all the things we leave behind
All the things that would dim our lights shine
Set aside until a better time
Some things left alone
Waiting to reap from a seed that was sown
Some lessons learned worth repeating
Some things left alone as it feels like cheating
In the inner room where the walls are all black as night
Do you hide things that would give others a fright
Or is what you hide
What you let go of so you can enjoy the ride
If what you hold in the dark gives you fright
Let go and let it stay out of sight
Somethings you only show to one
The one with whom has you coming undone
That has you doing the wrong thing for the right reasons
The one that makes you notice the changing of the seasons
The one that makes you wish time did not exist
Then their presence would not be missed
In the inner room is where you go to find
The right reason to do the wrong thing from time to time
It’s where you go to refine your light
To remember why you don’t do those things that give you fright
If what you find brings the fire in your heart alive
Then enjoy the dive
If it brings feelings of guilt
Not the things in which life should be built
Only you can choose alone in the dark
The things that give that spark
The fires that become your light
When at peace without a fight
It doesn’t have to be gloom
To visit your inner room
It’s all in what you leave behind
That you go seeking to find
The Lessons of Kings
If you step up looking for a crown
I have to knock you down
The warrior teaches as he was taught
This is how I fought
Leaving all my foes slain
Challenge me again to bring the pain
I will bring it
You’ll see and feel it
Even the masters have hard time
Learning these lessons of mine
I take the time to reach
When I see one I might teach
The masters class that many fail before they begin
Too caught up in glory and sin
Bring your ego and I shred it
Come with too much pride and regret it
The teachers teacher and the guides guide
And I slay the slayers who won’t abide
To get in my door
No need to kiss the floor
Come and look me in the eye
None come to me but to die
Not the mortal death I bring
But to kill the ego with a sting
No matter the mask you wear
I see through it with my stare
For those who make it this far
Time to release your inner star
There is no getting by me
There is no escape
If you found me
This is your fate
It’s already too late
A true king serves the needs of all and is meek
He hides his power unless it’s needed
Every Road

Feels like I’ve been down every road
Never seem to be able to lighten the load
I found what I was looking for
Waiting for the knock at the door
Since that day
I’ve been livin’ a new way
Takin’ in the sights
Avoiding the fights
Found a stage on the side of the street
Started singin’ and it felt sweet
Was the best part of the night
The rest was a fight
A fight to maintain and go slow
With the singing it was letting go and letting it flow
No players joined us
This trio creating lines around a chorus
There was no one there to watch as we sang away
We didn’t need ’em anyway
All the world is indeed a stage
If they gotta pay to get in you’re performing in a cage
A cage built by a view
A cage built by you
If the music is really inside
Playing indoors is another way to hide
I long for the days long since gone
Where a bard made a living through the evolution of the song
A captured moment of what is all around
Wrapping it in love to make a beautiful sound
The voice is all you need
To let your heart bleed
The tune can get them on their feet to dance
Put’s them in a trance
The words they may ignore
However the seed is still sown in their core
It takes a mix
To give ’em a fix
Let it flow
It will grow
Let the flow find the stage
Forget about the cage
Belt it out unrestrained
Leave ’em all forever changed
We need to fill out the band
Start performing everywhere we stand
Whether it be in the park or on the street
Let’s give a song to all we meet
Never thought I wanted to perform
Now it’s the never ending storm
A fire swirling all around me
Stripping away that which binds me
To sing it out loud
With or without a crowd
I am done with cages
Let’s explore some stages
Get on with the show
Let it flow
Love Is
What is love?
Love is.
Love is kind in times of sorrow.
Love is courageous when faced with fear.
Love is fierce in defense and protection of the weak.
Love is truth.
Love is patient to understand all views before making a choice.
Love is wise.
Love is unconditional.
Love is family.
Love is humanity.
Love is the manifestation of dreams and of hope and faith in love.
It exists in actions and words that inspire greatness in others.
Love is understanding of the connectedness of all life and how to live harmoniously with that energy of life and love.
Love bows to none and serves all.
This is what love is.
It is the honest expression of all that brings all things to a life that is unified with mind body and spirit.
Unification is what love is.
This unification of self leads to a unification with all.
Love is.
Be love and never be lost again.
Thank you
I say it and so do you
How do you mean it through and through?
I think of what it means to me
To let these words be aimed at thee
What do I thank you for?
Is it this moment or one before?
I look at my own life as it came to be
To share this moment you and me
I lived the pain of my life, sometimes twice
To be here with you in this life’s slice
A slice of my life I share with you
To give you my inner view
This time together won’t be missed
This is not just another thing to do on the list
Here I share my being
To all that are seeing
Here I bare my soul
To show what makes me whole
In the life you led
You bled and let tears be shed
It is the life you led that brought you here
So that I may expose myself without fear
When I say thank you
I think of your view
He we are sharing this moment as it flows
Knowing you are there inspires this prose
Thank you for the life you led
For all the tears you’ve shed
Thank you for the pain you took
Getting left on the hook
Thank you for the good times and the bad
For all the times you let yourself be sad
Thank you for caring
And for your own sharing
Thank you for being here
Conquering your fear
Thank you for baring your soul
Showing all what makes you whole
I hope you see
What the words “Thank you” mean to me
Thank you for being you for all to see
Thank you for accepting me
Every time these words come out
I mean it like this without a doubt
Character
Do you play one?
Are you one?
Does the story unfold around you?
Do you fold in the story with a limited view?
When you play a part
You play in their art
When character comes through
You see the play from another view
You see the stories intertwine
You see how every character must be allowed to shine
You take center stage for a bit
Then you take your turn to sit
Then you start to grow
You begin to enjoy the show
Whether on the stage or silver screen
You begin to see what I mean
If a rehearsed character is all they see
They may not want to watch thee
But if the character you are presents true
They stay to watch you
Be your character
Play a character
The choice is yours
One opens all the doors
Look within to find who you are
Shine from within to be your own star
Shine the spotlight that you are
See how others respond to your star
When you put that spotlight on another
You find a sister or a brother
Then they turn their spotlight on you
As they stop to watch your show too
Never performing but always showing
The inner you that is eternally glowing
Do you play a character?
Are you your character?
Take the stage my friends
For the play that never ends
May you all shine bright
And never feel stage fright
The audience is waiting
Stop hesitating
Let your true character shine through
Let the audience see the real you
Let your star shine
Yours as bright as mine
His as bright as hers and theirs
Who cares who stares?
Stare at each other in awe
For the brilliant star you just saw
Share the character you were born to be
See who shares the stage with thee
Let the show go on and on
The curtain is long gone
Live your story
Bring your glory
The Wanderer
Wandering the night
A shadows mask for this light
In that space in between
Where everything can be seen
If my eyes you cannot meet
It’s not you I’m here to greet
Your war within
Sees your life filled with sin
When the battle comes to an end
Is merely where the test begins
Peace is a place to go and escape to find direction
So that you can find the needed reflection
Those who cross my path
May not walk with me if filled with wrath
If it’s there within you needing a release
I sneak up behind you while I’m at peace
With my gaze
I remove the rage haze
It’s the rage
That built your cage
I help you see
It needs not be in thee
I help you find a way
To release it in your own way
Something for you to find
That is always there for you to remind
Why it is you let it go
Or you never enjoy your flow
Wandering the night
Is my life of delight
Being a helping hand
So you know your never alone no matter where you stand
No matter the space that divides
Within us is where the connection resides
The wanderer disappears into the night
Loving all taken in with his sight
Times comes now to take rest
Before the next living test
To see
If I can continue to live my integrity
Have I become the projection of me
For her reflection to see
Sanctuary
Where to go to let out what you hide?
Is it alone?
Have you ever shared?
Has anyone ever cared?
Has anyone ever offered to thee
The resting place of sanctuary?
A place to just be
A place for you and for me
Where secrets dance before us
As we live the song and write the chorus
Our lives we don’t compare
But our souls we share
You had your path and I had mine
It is us the paths helped us find
For wherever we are side by side
Our sanctuary comes for the ride
To let the skeletons dance where ever we go
They always put on quite the show
Knowing there is nothing to hide
Here we are side by side
Never again letting fear make us hide
Letting our being shift the tide
As they see
That we move as we
Never off our game
Never acting more than tame
Let them come and see
How two are a we
Then let them ask we
How this all came to be
Let our lives unfold before them
Always starting at the stem
Some tales there to warn
So they may avoid a certain thorn
As we tell our tale true
You see we were just as you
No better and no worse
We just hope you learn from our verse
We tell the tales that caused us pain
When we share we never restrain
We share the joy we find in each day
Teaching others no particular way
But to show them how to be free
How to create their own sanctuary
This is a vision I can see
Of the day you and I become we
As I patiently wait
I dare not hesitate
To find myself true
To be worthy that day to join with you
I see the best I have been
When you start your tales of remembering when
Different lives we have led
But all the same tears we have shed
It was not until I met thee
I knew of this thing called sanctuary
I hold it now with you
As it has become my favorite view
This view I never knew
I already shared with you
When perception is the reality that can make you free
It’s the view that builds your sanctuary
Build my friends
We build for great ends
In a world where you can find acceptance true
Is a world we build by our view
In this world we can build for humanity
A worldwide view that is sanctuary
To love thyself true
Is to love all of you
Try that view to see
In every thought we build sanctuary
You build it for me and I for you
Because I view me as I view you
I accept thee with this view
We aren’t that different me and you
Let those who try to harm or try to charm you
See that they hold no value
Let them see what is built by the we
Who choose to build sanctuary
Fuel the burn
Been rollin’ on
And carryin’ on
Taking the shots as they come
Cause I’ll never really be done
Gonna keep livin’
Never stop dreamin’
Taking it way beyond the edge
It’s the only way I know how to live
Now I’m the train rollin’ down the track
Never again looking back
Gotta fire in my soul
Don’t matter if I’m whole
It’s Rock ‘n’ Roll flowing through my veins
That kills the pain
Got no time for romance
Got too fucked up by that dance
Born to wander the earth
Lived like this since birth
Never content to stay for long
The call from within is way too strong
Gotta keep movin’ down the track
I might come back
It’s the life I love
Guided from above
Every twist and turn
Fuels the burn
The end is the beginning in disguise
The end is the beginning in disguise
Have you known me to tell lies
Before it can end one must let go
Before it can begin one must be in the flow
Letting it come from within
In doing this you still might sin
Pick the sins you love best
The ones where you don’t mind dealing with the consequence
It’s your life and your choice
Be careful how you use your voice
Take some time to ask why
Before deciding it’s time to do or die
Let it stew and find a distraction
Instead of going with the first reaction
Why are you in such a hurry to decide
Why not enjoy the ride
Look at all the options the choice provides
If need be consult some guides
When you start the story a new
It helps to have someone guide you
To take the lead and show you around
While you spend some time in the background
Soak it in
It’s always a good place to begin
Let it come from within when you take part
In the surrounding living display of art
Let your performance be true
Let them see the real you
Play the players and not the game
To voiding this beginning going the same
Liquid be your ego as the moment goes
As it flows the character that is you grows
Ever evolving and never set
Always something they’ll never forget
Take you time and enjoy the ride
Swallow your pride
Be meek
Find and do not seek
Be humble
When you stumble
Take your time as you rise
To learn the lesson and become wise
At the end it begins again
Not the same as it was then
Let go
Be in the flow
In this there is no boast
I found the mask
It was my task
Not a mask to be worn by me
A mask that was worn by thee
I had to pull back and let you put on the show
As if I didn’t know
Seeing right through you is no joy
I ain’t crazy and this is no ploy
It’s not easy being me
Seeing right through all of thee
It allows me to know what you need
I see what makes you bleed
It allows me to find the words to say
To send on your self healing way
Instead of shining you on to keep you on the line
I hit you with it right between the eyes
With some it takes a few times
Starts to feel as though I’m repeating lines
I’d rather give a verbal hammer shot to the head
Than to see some of you wind up dead
Though I love you all pure and true
I truly like so few of you
The difference is this
Is it work or bliss
If it takes a ton of work
I tend to come off as a jerk
If it’s bliss
You’re the ones I often miss
I like my solitude
I’m really not rude
I forget how much time has gone by
Since I said Yo or you said Hi
With those I am closest too
Know I am still checking in on you
I have my way
Of knowing if you’re OK
Probably why I forget to write
After using my inner sight
I forget how different it is for most
In this there is no boast
Only thanks for the ease
In which I can alleviate my worries
No need to wait for a call or a text
Reach out for the feeling that tells me what to do next
Often it leads to a conversation
That confirmed my feelings revelation
I forget I’m different than most
In this there is no boast
It’s a gift in the DNA
As Lady Gaga put it Baby I was born this way
Release
I release thee
Just so I can have some peace
Stay away from me
I’m trying to be free
So I release thee
And the pain you brought to me
Stay the hell out of my sight
I don’t need your bullshit fight
Don’t need to know you’re alright
I release thee tonight
I release thee
To set me free
I release thee
To set me free
You were my last disaster
Now I’m my only master
I never want to hear your name
Never want to see your face
Don’t want you no more
Better never see you at my door
I release thee
I am free
I release thee
Go be free
I’m throwin’ down my own tracks
I’m never lookin’ back
I’m gettin’ out of here
I busted through my chains
I broke out of my cage
I released me
When I released thee
I am free
Go be free
Turn the Mirror Inward
It’s in inner reflection
I find true direction
Letting the light that bounces back at me
Be the light that is deep within me
Guiding myself through my own inner dark
Trusting my own light, my inner spark
Anything here I find
I put there to remind
To be a lesson in time of need
Maybe a reminder as to why my heart will forever bleed
It’s the inner journey into the torture chamber of the mind
Easy to get lost if you don’t know what you came to find
The dark is no place to play
It’s no place for a lost light to stay
Even those who wander make their way to the other side
On that day is a change in their ride
It’s in inner reflection
I find my true direction
Wander through my own dark
By the light of my own spark
Is there something left undiscovered and forgotten
Will what I find harden me or soften
I never feared the dark
And what was revealed by the light of my own spark
It’s when I turn the mirror in
Is how I see how the next chapter will begin
Each step taken with love
Never needing a shove
Walking one path of clear direction
Found during inner reflection
Some think enlightened means at peace
They have missed the point and it’s you they’re trying to fleece
Peace is a place if inner reflection
To find one’s true direction
It is emotion
That sets and keeps things in motion
If peace is all you desire
You have no inner fire
It’s that inner spark
At the center of your inner dark
That fans the flames of passion
That move you to action
To be and stay at peace is to be still
And give up the desire and the thrill
The thrill of the highs and the sweetness of the lows
It’s just how life goes
Your never got hurt if you didn’t care at all
It’s how much you loved that is the height of the fall
Turn the mirror inward to find true direction
No matter what you see is your own reflection
There to remind
There for you alone to find
In your time of need
Or to remind why your heart will ever bleed
Let it go
Let it go
Let it flow
Feel it move on its own
Reap now what you have sown
Let it stir and bring the storm
To be an artist there is no norm
Let lightning strikes and the rains pour down
Let the winds howl through town
Let it all rage
Just to find the wisdom of the sage
When peace and calm returns
Tell the tales of when the fire burns
Remember the ride
The ever shifting tide
A valley to every peak
Living ain’t for the weak
There is no time left to change this fate
Be glad its born from love not hate
It’s always rough at the start
For every new work of art
Each day a sculpture left in time
Living art living outside the lines
The roller coaster ride has begun
It may not always seem fun
This is your ride
This is your tide
Reap what you sow
Always be ready to go
Rock ‘n’ Roll, it comes from the soul
Rock ‘n’ Roll comes from the soul
You write it cause you lived that role
It comes from deep inside
Where others may hide
But for you and I
We know it’s do or die
We live fast and burn hot
We live like it’s our only shot
We did it because we could
Not because we are no good
We are the best when being bad
Which explains the times we had
It takes a sinners life
One that has seen some strife
To make a song live on forever in your heart
That’s living your life as art
To make the sacrifice and live through pain
Knowing you would do it again and again just the same
You see what it gave you
This live life at full speed view
You see how it saved you from a life as a drone
No matter how may times you were left all alone
We danced with the Devil by every kind of light
We beat him fair and square in the darkness of the night
We are the saviors who went through hell to find the lost
It was we who sent you back when our paths crossed
We only met that one time when you needed to hear
The words from a stranger to show you your path clear
That mysterious guy or gal who was there then gone
But those wise words in your head live on
Maybe you get to know us for a while
Those people who used to make you smile
Then one day we were gone
Even though we live on
On to the next in need
To plant another seed
We remember thee just as sweet
And maybe again we’ll meet
Those who wander are not lost in the dark
We are their to give you back your spark
We look like the demons and live that way too
Only revealing our true nature to you
We came by to send you back out of hell
Now that you have been here a spell
We show up not too long after a wish or a prayer
It sometimes feels like being the non character player
We live at full speed
Always their to serve a need
We only realize as we look back in time
How many we helped back across the line
Then back into the depths we dove again
To find those who are not forsaken
You gotta go through it to get to it
I don’t make the rule, I just live it
Go through hell to get to heaven is how it’s done
We bring them out one by one
You never knew we were here until now
Because we didn’t know we were doing it that’s how
It’s just who we are
Not trying to be a star
After doing it so many times
Our light is too bright as it shines
No longer can we wander
Often we sit and wonder
We look back at the ones we set straight
We look and see we never once got there too late
We come forward for all to see
We the evolution of humanity
It’s you we hear calling when we can’t explain that meeting
You’re the voice in our head we are happy to finally be greeting
We our the next step of our species to reach our full potential
It’s been happening over the generations sequential
We live fast and we burn hot
And our location is always the spot
That’s the life so many have had
Being at their best when their being bad
Always telling stories
Of all their former glories
When you are along for the ride
You set aside your pride
You listen for a strange reason
You find us able to keep you even
You can’t explain that feeling when we are there
You can’t explain how it is you feel how much we care
Even though our stories may shock you
It’s just because we live the Rock view
Think of where the name Rock ‘n’ Roll came from
Then you’ll start to understand us some
But when you look back when you didn’t know where to turn
We were all there and what got us there is the way we burn
You don’t think of us often but when you do
We go back to that time with you
Some of you I have met
Some maybe just not yet
You have met some one like me
Maybe even two or three
Maybe it’s you who is waking to see
That maybe you are just like me
We are human without a doubt
No need to freak out
It’s in the genetics through and through
Evolution in our DNA I am telling you
Though what we do seems like majick
I can think of things much more tragic
I bet you got some art in you
From living life from your view
It may not be Rock ‘n’ Roll
But we all know it will come from your soul
If it’s not coming from there
You are a just poser square
For those who live life free
Art just springs up around thee
It’s how we live our life day to day
No we are not insane
We like producing some results again and again
It usually leads to helping a friend
We carry a never ending spark
We who wander in the dark
If you want to Rock
No need to knock
Come on in and enjoy the show
When you’re ready to leave just get up and go
Make room for the next crowd coming in
It’s the living Rock show that never comes to an end
God gave Rock ‘n’ Roll to us to give another guide
Of how to find the wisdom we each have inside
For those who live the songs we love
We know Rock came from above
It saved our lives one day
We saw you living the same way
We hoped you’d learn from our life
So you could avoid our strife
We lived it
To steer you from it
Just the lives we led by the choices we made
Our tales of doing what was forbade
Some do it with lyrics and sing out loud
Some like me do with it prose and do it proud
But it’s in our soul
To live fast and never grow old
Max speed and max power
Ready for the show at any hour
If our star ever begins to fade with age
It’s so others can take the stage
We only hope you won’t forget
All those years we were rocking it
Call us classics and it makes us smile
That shows we did it with style
When you think of us as you look back
We hope to be in that good memory stack
