Poetic Carousel Pt. I

(1) Midas Touch

my meager skull personates the granduer
the illustrative muse above the challenge
to care to share to point out the queer
lines are being drawn in the sand
.......................................................................
forbidden torment
when to understand,
words can create a lasting void
share with others your unique words
......................................................................

perchance to dream to charm away
with words to say out on the golden pond
to dream emerge the better man
painted sky with colors of vast duration

........................................................................
stay strong in the moment

(2) Dolphin's Stream

out in the vast ocean blue
there are clues of what you need to do
to visit the combersome notion of the plains
the artist takes out their canvas
......................................................................................
away from forbidden hearts
onto a newer way torn shades of grey
to charm the most
like a lost seagull heading off on the coast
.............................................................................................
we close our eyes from the way of the stream
Dolphin's soar and begin all over again
beautiful noises it makes to the faint cry of a passerby
shadows block the vortex on each passing note
..............................................................................................
go deep stand still & repeat

(3) Never Surrender

girl your all that I'm asking for
just a little more time can open closing doors
just a little uncertainty can bring you down
when you bottom drops out never surrender
...........................................................................................
when you car has a busted up fender
hold fast with two hands when to understand
words can cut deep stand still to repeat
shades of black with a touch of grey
.............................................................................................
when your alone in your own little pit never give up never quick
move to your center that is your right
never relent to give up on the fight
inside we hide behind four walls that bind
...............................................................................................
faster and faster
take the trash out
learn to make your mark
this is your moment

(4) Carry On

shades of sadness
shards of grey
stay humble enough to pray
a very good cause to stay
.......................................................................................................
although you can walk through the miracle mile
it helps to raise the chord of contentment,
isn't it a coincidence at a glance
learn to walk over hot lava coals
............................................................................................................
hold dear to your own
long lines we have acquired toward the way
free as a bird as long as you stay
red, black & grey

..............................................................................................................
carry on with a song in your heart
through the conclave of love's parting view
remain strong to the end my faithful friend

(5) Business As Usual

it isn't casual its business as usual
through every bend in the road
beneath the swell you glare
none the worse for wear
................................................................................
love can change the stance of a lonesome child
love is in the miracle business
out of every circumstance
dig deep my friend
....................................................................................
drive back the dagger from my heart
everyday there's a brand new baby born
every night got the sheets to keep me warm
don't ever curse the day you were actually born
.................................................................................
another page is turned
one soul soars while the other will burn
carry on with a song in your heart to impart
the magical chord connection out of every direction
.....................................................................................
Tom Petty had every reason to fly
Hendrix worked on his magic fly
business as usual stand in the middle playing second fiddle
radiate with cadence
..........................................................................................
filtered through a song

Poetic Carousel Pt. II

(6) Give Cadence To The Simple

shake dreams from her hair my pretty one
choose the day the way of the earth
time is all we have through the duration of our lives
bring our eager hearts into focus in which to deliver
.........................................................................................
bury me deep beneath the groves along the garden path
bask in the vast expanse between space & time
sublime
come together as one
..........................................................................................
each piercing eyes fills the conclave of love's lasting fate

(7) Blowing In The Breeze

within emmense silence theirs a hint of violence
shades of grey tormented among the Elms
as the city cascading moments of granduer filtered through a song
stand strong in the duration of the dream give heed to love
.............................................................................................................
there's something blowing in the wind
a newer way to begin all over again
I see a vision in the clouds
twice spotted with holes
.........................................................................................................
lurking in the darkness there is a glimmer of hope
glowing ever growing
chearing ever tearing
beneath the ground the earth does swell
.................................................................................................................
come away with me now through temptress of fire

(8) One Hand To Hold A Heart Will Mend II

we can smell the lavender out on the dew
early morning cow would be among its chew
through starry eyes frightened but fixed upon a sound
glaring among the Albatross we cross
...................................................................................................................
at every circumstance we can claim our prize
with annointed hands in cosmic tapestry
life is but a mystery
give cadence to its pride
..................................................................................................................
we can hold things inside not willing to share
flirt with fire throw darts at our hair
each step that we take make no mistake caused by faith
columns of pillars ascending on the land
...................................................................................................................
when will we ever live for the day all will understand ?

(9) Moving Pictures

there's a doorway that holds us
the streams of love to mold us
but nothing seems to move us
we stand erected as if pushed out to sea
.........................................................................................................................
hoping that a girl will soon come to marry me ?
we can only get a glimpse of what's to be
life is but a mystery
if we slow down and pay attention
............................................................................................................................
we can hear the Robin with a song
it will help you get along
like an old movie watching Elvis Presley
we often wander to change the story
...........................................................................................................................
yet why should we ever worry ?

(10) The Last Stand

tighten the Elms
within nature's grasp
a tiff for taff
have a tendency to over react
....................................................................................................................................
you flirt with fire
in a blaze of glory
trying to change the story
so why should we ever worry
..........................................................................................................................................
like John Wayne taking his final stand
let the reader understand
life is what you make it so don't try and fake it
burning bridges in the mockery of thorns
................................................................................................................................................
curse the given day you were actually born
