Insomnia
Wicked headache
Bitter cold room
Razor-blade breath
Disembodied footsteps
Above my head
Pillows on the floor
Blankets askew
Rocking, rocking
Sleep unattainable.

Dreaming through the years 2000-2013
Once I dream t of Camelot
Misty castles along the ocean
Once I dream t of a prince
Who would pledge me his devotion
Once I dream t of stormy skies
And a claddaugh ring on my hand
Once a fallen Angel
With demons in her head
Once alone on Saturn’s rings
Waltzing with the dead
I have dream t so many dreams
In my cherished moonlit nights
I’ve wrote my life’s story
By the warm glow of candlelight
I have dream t so many things
On my perfect fantasy world
I escaped reality and lived in fairy-tales
I still dream of Camelot
And Castles on the shore
But now I am content without a prince
To complicate my world

Requiem for a Lemon
:: Ode To The Lemon Slice::
Yellow lemon
Does dead man’s float
In the last gulps of my Corona
I have never been to Mexico
So, the glyphs on the bottle hold no meaning
I thrive on Jamison
And Irish Car Bombs
Pile of ashes
Half smoked cigarettes
Vintage Red Sox flame
In my nightgown on the deck
The flower pot smokes
My jaw goes slack
A big ass bug flies by
And brings me back to my drink
The lemon is no longer floating
Just a bit of mush
In the bottom of my Corona bottle
I guess my life doesn’t seem so rough
Rest In Peace Mr. Lemon

Midnight Blue… did she jump or slip?
Angel Rescue
Urgent whispers
The ocean calling
Angel slips
She is falling
Gasping for breath
Waves are crushing
White foam surrounds her
Crashing, pounding
Green eyes close
No more fighting
Strong arms grab her
She is floating
Gentle kiss
Blue eyes searching
Angel rescued
A princely sailor
His forever
Should he wish to keep her

Ode to Valentines Day Number 2
Roses are red, violets are blue, i know where you live and the
hit-man does too

can give it to you…
