Colour

Orange burns
Like a squirt in the eye
Green wilts
Before going dry
Red hurts
Sometimes at least
Blue soothes
The wound and the crease
Yellow aches
Grey sums them up
It’s the colour I feel.

Tribe

I sit on the porch
screaming kids
argue
about their world
their problems
who plays net
I do
no I do
who goes first
I do
cuz it’s
my ball
the bosses of the future are born
their years are the union
their ages bond
are their ever too many spear carriers
like too many chiefs?

Special ride

Hell inside

HEAVEN’S IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
AS I STEP ON THE GAS,
THE FUTURES CLOSING IN ON ME.
THE DEVILS TRYING TO PASS!
I’M SINKING WITH THE SUNSET
DEEP INTO A TRANCE,
I’VE LAUNDERED ALL MY THOUGHTS TODAY
STILL IN MY MIND THEY DANCE.

I can’t escape reality
OR WHO YOU ARE INSIDE OF ME,
MY PREDETERMINED DESTINY?
HEAVEN’S DRAUGHTING CLOSER NOW
THE ROAD’S A ROLLER COASTER NOW
I CAN’T SEE WHAT’S IN FRONT OF ME
BUT THE DEVIL’S PASSED ME NOW, I SEE
I’M SINKING WITH THE SUNSET
DEEP INTO A TRANCE
I’VE LAUNDERED ALL MY THOUGHTS TODAY
STILL IN MY MIND THEY DANCE
STILL IN MY MIND THEY DANCE
IN MY MIND
IN MY MIND
IN MY MIND THEY DANCE
I’VE LAUNDERED ALL MY THOUGHTS TODAY
STILL IN MY MIND THEY DANCE.

I can’t escape reality
OR WHO YOU ARE INSIDE OF ME,
MY PREDETERMINED DESTINY?
HELL IS IMMORTALITY
HELL IS HERE, INSIDE OF ME
HELL
HELL


HELL
IT’S HELL
INSIDE
INSIDE IT’S FUCKING HELL INSIDE OF ME!

Seasons Change

Sprite pace of wind draws clouds in from the west
Birds fly off in silence aware of the test

Leaves placed all around by autumns roughhewn care
Crisp and brittle now that winter’s in the air

The augment the darkness and shadows disappear
Squirrels scurry gathering nuts as the inclemency gets near

Mother Nature waits on no one when she brings a change about
She quickly brings the winter in and pushes autumn out.

HALLOWEEN

As Autumn crispness fills the air
FOR A NIGHT OF HAUNTING THEY ALL PREPARE

Their costumes completed with detail and care
FROM GRUESOME MASKS TO WEIRD LOOKING HAIR

As leaves whirl around them out in the street
THEY WALK AS THOUGH ON AIR, AS THEY SHUFFLE THEIR FEET

You’ll find Superman, Batman and Ninja Turtles too
COUNT DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN AND MUTATED ANIMALS ESCAPED FROM THE ZOO

When they knock at the door you’re not quite sure what to do
BUT THEN IN A FLASH IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU

You reach in the bowl filled with candies, by the stair
EACH GETS A HANDFUL, EQUAL AND FAIR

Not overlooking the little one, way over there
AS A HUNDRED TINY THANK-YOU’S WHISPER THROUGH THE AIR

Halloween is upon us, that dark scary night
WHEN KIDS RULE THE TOWN AND GIVE GROWN-UPS A FRIGHT.
