Well thank you for sharing your fly poem. That was pretty good.

I spoke upon a staggered wall
my words they went unheeded
I tried to get my message through
I thought that it was needed

The winds they blew the grass did grow
the water from the brook did flow
I looked out at the world apart
until my eyes grew tired

I wondered why a man as I continued to make sense

The lovely yellow rose of spring still pricks me when I grasp
the winter's ice still burns my tounge
the flagpole I'm stuck fast

A word or two sung to deaf ears can make an awful sound
Step off that stool your standing on
place your ear on the ground

And listen to the sound of nil
as you are whisked around

Simply breath taking my dear friend!
I anxiously await your next work of art that your pen and hand so beautifully scribe.

A jar of equilibrium won’t get me off this slide,
what a wicked twisted time I’ve had upon this ride

This road is crooked as the rear leg of a big green frog,
my hazy mind is blocked and I can’t see through all this smog

A wink from you is all that I can conjure at this moment,
the danger of my thinking is that I enjoy this torment

The nucleus of my problem is mired in indecision,
looking for a way to find a key to my new prison

The answer lies within my soul to seek may be to find,
Opening up and asking for might just relieve my bind

I really like this. It is a deep from the soul piece of work.
I can draw many different feelings and interpretations from it. I like it when I can do that and you seem to have a knack for that.

Refreshing sameness twists me round
like a seesaw in the ground

Looking up the time is new
all the while my thoughts are you

Listening to the sweet birds sound
peace and hope is what Iv'e found

Precious ticks they seem so few
the sky's a wondrous shade of blue

My fate's no longer sealed or bound
like a new born baby hound

The twinkle in your eye's a clue
stuck to you I am like glue

Stepping to the pitchers mound
happy times have got me wound

Enjoying this I want to do
I hope you all can see it too

Hit upside my bloody head
I taste the two by four

Words can sting just like a bee
this Iv'e learned for me

Speak the way you will be heard
try not to be rude

Words that come from your inside
is where you will reside

The visual this draws in my minds eye is somehow comical....I guess it's that morbid sense of humor we someimes possess.

Anyway, great work as usual my friend!

Kung fu grip has got my balls
twisting till they bleed

Dragging ass while plodding on
the crack seems wider still

Limping as the day grows long
I take my final breath

And watch the sun fall down to earth
as nighttime smacks me round

Today I woke up still alive
I watched the sunrise from behind

I looked to see you laying there
meshed in your dreams without a care

I brushed my hand upon your cheek
a smile from you whilst you still sleep

I'm gone to work with dreams of you
the love we've found still seems so new

The dreary dark and gloomy state
Is where my heart is from
The sunny warm and happy place
Is where it wants to run
A glimpse of what it could be like
Is all it took to yearn
Finding what I need for me
Is what I'd like to learn
The wonder of a happy life
Seems oh so strange to me
Holding hands and chasing bees
I've had a slice of free
An apple every day is nice
Why can't I have the pie
The love embedded in those eyes
I think a while and sigh

I climbed atop a tree one day
and watched the birds fly by
The wonder of the way they soared
made me close my eyes
Begining to float off myself
I let go of this life
and rode upon a silver cloud
as worries passed me by
Enjoying my new found freedom
I journeyed through the skies
Looking for a way to find
peace and love and nice
I saw a little lady stop
and give a child a hand
Tis then I knew what I must do
was such a simple plan
I climbed down from the twisted tree
and put myself to work
I held my hand out and my heart
Tried not to be a jerk
Today the peace and love of us
somehow begins with me
and if I do my little part
I know that I am free

I sang a song of sad repose
whilst sitting on a stile
I clamoured for an audience
then mummered for a while
I wanted to tell my tall tales
to all that lent an ear
But all that wanted to hear me
were drowning in their beer
I closed my mouth and kept it in
while all the while enraged
the acts put forth from my hatred
put me inside a cage
I walked around till I was tired
a circle in the paint
I told of how I was done wrong
Of how I was a saint
I prayed to god for patience love
and constant understanding
Bubba walked in and said to me
we're sharing this here landing
I guess next time I'll have to say
I'll watch what I ask for
And look upon the mirror first
before I close the door

Lost in a trance, like in a dream
things are'nt what they really seem
Spinning round, my heads a top
why can't I make this all just stop
Thoughts won't quit, my minds a blur
I wish my foot would stop it's birr
Pictures flash, hung on my wall
why can't I end this blinding thrall
Flowers bloom, in other meadows
thinking of how it once was
Faceless faces, looking through
all the time, searching for you
Moments pass, kept in my mind
days go by, time to unwind
In my grasp, I let it slip
shaking slowly, I've lost my grip
Todays the day to make things right
although things don't look very bright
One step a time, walking over
searching for my four leaf clover
On the leaf, I hope to find
a glowy worm, one of a kind

Chilly frost of winters morn,
no more summer dew
Leaves turn bright and fall upon
the snow that looks so new
Fires blaze and warm our hands
we laugh and sing our tunes
October nights in the cornfields
the maze of harvest moons
Sledding down a frozen hill
the time we spend together
Freezing cold with hearts of warmth
The lovely winter weather

Sunset means sunrise for some
I'm starting where the others done
The moon casts off an eerie glow
reflecting off the chilling snow
To one that see's a garbage dump
I see a wallet nice and plump
We see things different that are same
What they say is in a name
Today I choose to see the light
Where others can see only night
My life has formed a twisted tale
The tears could fill a giants pail
I use them to shower me with
This has been my journeys pith
Hand in hand I walk the miles
Embracing all my newfound trials
To you I may seem but a joke
It's time to take off that dark cloak
Inhale this life and breathe the air
Live life like you have no care
Today may be the last were here
Fill it full of love and cheer

Snowflakes dancing in the light
Thankful for the gift of sight
To see what god has given me
The wonder of a colbat sea
I view the valley far below
City lights give off a glow
Images burned into my mind
I think about the man whos blind

Today I will walk with my head held up high
Today is tomorrow of yesterdays time
I woke and I looked at the reflection of me

No regrets as I smiled

A goal that I have is to wake and to say
Yesterday's choices were ones that I made
I'm free from the chain's that once consumed me

The cold concrete is where I sleep
A choice I made now mine to keep
The days seem longer when I ride
I'm looking for a place to hide
The trains whistle keeps me blue
When my thoughts turn back to you
This drug I drink helps me to run
Sometimes I wish I had a gun
I look to find an instant cure
My thoughts no longer seem so pure
A new town maybe it's the one
I pray somehow this will be done

Thats funny, she said with a smile,
its not that funny
We looked at each other with a sad
repose, as we looked away
It hurts me to hurt your feelings,
as tears wet the dry riverbed
Alone when I'm with you,
or so it seems
We hold hands and whistle
instead
The shrill ringing sound that echo's
throughout, my soft shoulder topper
is dead
The clang of the bell is all that I
hear
As I walk toward the left edge
Funny you say, that which you have said,
I listen to you mime the words
And hum to myself, as I often do
my sanity's kept to myself
A joke told to one, that one that is lone
I laugh and they wonder what of
A thing that was lost, can never be found,
I search just to have it to do
