Mars Night Café
(Based On The Vincent Van Gogh painting “Night Café”)
After hard day of work in mines
Visit Faraway Night Café
Located on red planet mars
At the base of Olympus Mons
Patron’s backs bent permanently
From staring down into their drinks
Stories sand grains in hourglass
Frozen like hands of clock on wall
Then look away around the room
The mind wonders from place to place
Lamp radiates like tiny sun
Like copy of painting on display
Round number ball on pool table
Imagine is earth and moving
Small trays of spirits and substance
Mix in with shots of loneliness
Even millions of miles from home
Madness rides a traveling ghost
Internal like the universe
The sadness will last forever

Sheep never said
Slaughter the buffalo
Snakes in the grass
Never hinted to tiger
Kill elephant for ivory
Sharp claw bear roars
Bees never buzz
Cut down redwood trees
Lightning never ask
Forrest to be cut
Without fire or rebirth
Fox never told
Beaver by shore
To build larger dam
Wind and water
Never encouraged earthquake
To move mountain in one night
Fish in lakes and oceans
No dying whales tell them
To cut off shark fins
Amazon river
Didn’t whisper to grasshopper
Cut down the rain forest
Watching for eons
Animals
Unimpressed with man
Except the wise teacher
Sees from eagle eyes
Listens to wilderness speak
Original teachers vanish
Killed
Or sent to reservation
All this time
The savage
In the mirror
Early Warning
From the sky, nightmares drip like hail
Dreams fall softly as feather snow
Bright lightning wooden ships set sail
Long winding winds direct the show
Thunder calls out across the way
While clouds still gather, pile on thick
Grow ears to what the heavens say
Swirling motions move slow and quick
Predictions unfold in the dark
Climax pumps like blue beating heart
Songs pour downward sing with a bark.
Pictures below all ripped apart.
Statue of truth we cannot make
Rise from the deep sleep still awake
Transformer
The window twisted open
In a spiral motion
Stories on the street
Drive by like speeding chapters
A hammer can hit you
When you take the time to see
Happiness can take control so easy
When your mind is unconcerned
Still plugged in but not on
Is anything really important
Except the things you can’t see or touch
Or love
Still with no real definition
Story Of the Stars
Sat on the roof of the old house
The shingles faded with stories
The distant calling smoked hills
Border the earth and the stars
Calling like an original frame
The rustic whispers cry like wings
Voices from history and present
Soar across the deep night sky

Light Effect
The sun erupted
Light rose like erosion
To wash away
The night’s collection
Spiral Arms Sky
Border of spiral galaxy
Mountain asteroid city shines
Tall ice castle’s close together
Surface cover of cold light snow
A slight lean towards heavy side
Slow spin rotates towns and shadows
From balcony long arms reach out
From hundred million miles away
Underwater Sky
The sea of the universe rotates
Waves of ocean with water-drop stars
Wishing you were close enough
To look into below the surface
Share with all the spirit-voices
Floating windows into the deep
Ode To Amanda
She emerged winged-foot from the sky
Like an angel in Apollo’s shadow
Fathers from the heavens fingers
Announce with thunderbolts and lightning
Messages drift above to form shapes
In different layers of colored clouds
Lands on a mountain cap with harp
Notes cut like ribbons to reveal
Distance between the long still islands
In the stoke of beating heart and rhythm
Held my hand like feathers falling
Fell through her like warmth reclaimed
Up ahead rotating pastures play
Scenes of tall castles golden shine
Strong winds unfold the darkness away
Where loneliness once walked freely
Transforms into along with her eyes
Only sunshine regardless of the hour
Space & Time
One cold wind chill night
Sitting in a dark room
Fully wide awake
Eyes intense
In a dreamlike state
Feeling a chill leak through
The cracks of the building
Looking out the picture window
And the street lights outside
I gaze up
And see the full moon
Spinning down towards me
Filling the room
I leave and take its place
Way up in the sky
She looks up and says
"Your closer now"
I go forever
Visiting another galaxy
Never finding
A star like her
A Rite Of Wrong
Mistakes can make you feel
Lingering and secluded
The present can breathe to life
Conceptions of the past
Standing on the edge of the soul
2:20 A.M.
There is a thief
In my house
Silent and immortal
It takes no money
Or possessions
It only robs me
Of my sleep
Prescription #L
Heard in a song
Love is a drug
If that is true
Then hate must be
A fatal disease
Please I want
You to live
Take your pills
The Clock
In my silence, will time heal all
For constantly I hear her call
All my life never felt so low
The clock in my heart runs so slow
The pain I have time cannot feel
Cut up with words as sharp as steel
The wounds are hidden deep below
The clock in my heart runs so slow
Now the days seem to drag on by
When I was with her time would fly
The ache ticks on I watch it grow
The clock in my heart runs so slow
The Last Ride
Let us ride the universe forever
Long before arriving at heavens gate
Let the lords of good and evil play with fate
While the grand gatekeeper holds the lever
Worldly ties will completely sever
With keys of time, no voids to hesitate
Journey across space a believer
Long before arriving at heavens gate
When the final day comes to deliver
Pointed upon the calendars last date.
Let the mighty lords know we will be late
The last breathe a message to receiver
Let us ride the universe forever.
A Ship In Flight
The arrow
Goes out spinning
Fast and far
Landing on a orbit
Near spheres and stars
That can see
And shine
Like curves in space
In her rotation
I feel the gravity
Lost On A Line
Oh, please take me
And lead me to that place
That her and I discovered
In the darkness
We found the border
The line between man and women
Is blurred
And gets lost in the moment
We swam on the edge
So far out
Discovering unforgettable
Land of a Million Ghosts
Long before Salem witches
Ghost roamed the Great Plains
Natives respect dark shadows
No battles at stroke of night
Fields of a thousand voices
Hide behind rows of darkness
Stories ride fertile valleys
Whisper across dusty trials
In sparse conditions
Spirits occupy all corners
Footprints call like thunderstorms
Voices from void scream on the range
Each blade of corn and grass
Transforms in moonlit sky
Those who find a signal
Silent and scared to death
Every year more arrive
From crowed graves and cities
Lost roaming herds grown larger
In great Midwest gathering
She Is Radiation
She is light, like the stars,
A reactor in my heart, in a way
Or a ray, I see my freedom decay,
So nuclear, with her love
Spills the fallout my way, in the neon
Of my life, she radiates all day.
She is radiation, like the glow in her face.
The signals, the bright lights
That she turns up on me, the energy,
The half-life’s; in her eyes I see green,
Like secrets, like a mission,
I see her on my screen, in the neon
Of my life, she radiates all day.
She is radiation, radiating from the inside
I See Your Vein (Part One)
I see your vein marked and stabbed
A sword of pain you are trapped
In the castle, I see the night
A darken shadow a stream of light
I see your vein and feel the blue
The lion statues they seem to move
Out by the gate near the arch
I see your silhouette in the marsh
You are alone with the moon
I see the holes within a room
I see the vein the one that bleeds
Break the drawbridge out by the trees
The stone carvings they seem to talk
I see the armies when you walk
I see your vein and feel the blue
Mystery Lady
She smiles so flashy
Even with her eyes
When she comes around
It still drags in my mind
Like the sun behind the clouds
She comes and she goes
She’ll punch my heart
Until I explode
She is a mystery lady
No one know her name
We’ll dance and carry on
In the shadow of the moon
Like Cinderella at midnight
She has to leave very soon
She is a mystery lady
When she comes around
In a black silk dress
Does not need an introduction
She is higher than the rest
Shelter Me From The Storm
Every eye is violent
Every breath a gust
Every minute is measured
My heart turned to rust
Can’t bury the lightning
That I know I must
Every sound is your voice
Every face your bust
Shelter me from the storm
I cannot make it on my own
Without you in my life
I feel so empty and alone
Every pain is deep
Every rest is restless
Every thought of you
Always leaves me breathless
I do not want any number
You are the best
I felt your thunder
I do not want any one else
Not long ago
Felt like a king
I lost my heart
Fell from the throne
Like a hurricane
Shelter me from the storm
Sinning Is Easy
Grew up in a world
Of season and change
When we are growing up
So many thing seem strange
Took in the beauty
Of the mountains and range
Learned how to love
And how to be cruel
For every honest deed
That is done
Broke as many rules
Sinning is easy
It is nothing new
Looked at life
From a crystal ball
Whole flashed become me
In no time at all
Felt both same and pride
Low and ten feet tall
Sinning is easy
It is something we all do
Money, Money
Cable and gas, electric and phone
Rent and insurance, payments and loans
Garbage and water, groceries and cloths
Interest and taxes on all that I own
Money, money is mine to make
Money, money is yours to take
When I get my check
Everybody else gets paid
Two-faced
The stage is set
And the curtains down
There’s no one there
When you looked around
You want to act
But you can’t act now
So many scenes
That you want to do
A act comes up
You want to do
You read the lines
It’s an act for you
The part is perfect
You’re playing the fool
When you’re yourself
You’re being cruel
Two-faced, one on each side
One to show, one to hide
Two-faced, one on each side
When you say no
You really mean yes
When you say maybe
It’s a big mess
When you say nothing
We all get a rest
When you talk a lot
You say even less
Two-faced, one on each side
One to show, one to hide
Two-faced, one on each side
