It was earsplitting
The sound of the
Screeching tires
On the wet pavement
I can still remember
The door
That I grabbed
As the car spun
Those memories
Can never be
Undone
Earsplitting

Bad Assessment
It was off
From the start
With a housing boom
As a form of
Sadistic
Art
The assessments were
Made
With all intention
Of a worthless
House
Was all to be
Had
Tankable
Tankable
Was the water
Tankable
And palatable
From the faucet
That leaked
Past midnight
I am not sure
I would drink
That water
It’s not
Alright
Mountainous Stream
The stream
That runs through
The back
Of the house
Is quiet in the
Winter cold night
As the white snow
Runs through the brown
Trees
With green tips
But for now just
Silence
From the stream
Below
A Total Recall
A total recall
Were the words
From the world
That all must be returned
Upon arrival
Hopes dashed
With words smashed
Against my brain
So it went
The recall goes on
Barbarous Birds
The birds
Lurk
Over the land
Overlords
With a quick hand
Seeking the weak
And unsheltered
Among the cactus
Crawling bugs
The barbarous birds
Are looking for blood
Another Thunder
Out over the vast
Fresh ocean
Of waves and sand
A grip of thunder
Roars out
Over the land
With a lightning
Quick and commanding
Another thunder
From the beach
And sand
Flawless
Flawless
Is the hope
Of a mind
Stuck on a tight
Rope
Walking the way
With perfect balance
My own thoughts wonder
If flawless is just
A thought
Of what could be
And not what is
A Secret Trouble
A secret trouble
Holds down my heart
In ways
I never knew
What to do
When the whole of opportunity
Is now a faded blue
I hold back the anger
And now face to face
With the danger
Of a trouble
Held
Deep
Within
Another Game
Another game
Another night
Another bright
Light
Fight
So I am done
And will walk away
From the chaos
That reigns us in
Everyday
A Cup of Songwriting
