My Own Tune

I have learned

A certain rhythm

Or my own tune

A style unique

But familiar

When I ask

To far

Or too soon

Repairs needed

When it comes

Undone

But for now

A small victory

Can be taken

 

Marble Throat

Sculpt a world

That I want to live

In

With notes

From a marble throat

Lifted to the highest

Heavens

When music is

Resurrected

To be played from the living

In moments like these

Lift a song

Lift us up

Notes from above

Wretched Rotten

A wretched rotten

That’s all I’ve gotten

When there is nowhere else to go

Downtrodden

My mind

Collecting moments

I wish could be forgotten

Today’s memories

All the same

Will be knotted

To the post

In my brain

Express Religion

Religion in sound bite form

Looses something

From the depth

Of a northern light

To the quick selling

Famine

Plight

Not even good

Or alright

Express religion

In its cheapest form

Saving Graces

Saving graces

Running all over the human

Race

From one to another

Just a word can redeem

What was once lost

But now back

In seen

Up Town

On the town

Their is a place

To go

When the world grows

Weary in your eyes

When the sun rises

Feelings anew

Coffee in New York City

Is the best place to remember

That life is a continuum

Of the new and old

When the world looks back

To say thanks

For all you have grown

Sick Shoes

Sick shoes

Nothing new

On the road

Out of fuel

Hold on tight

As the fever passes through

Saturday Sun

Saturday sun

Fades to a Sunday moon

All comes up

And gone too soon

Days filled with autumn fall

Upon my eyes

Not one

But all

Water on the Parking Lot

In a parking lot

West of town

Water falls

Straight down

Into the puddle

On the ground

Into the swells all around
