Order me two bean enchiladas,
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan
w/delicious cheese,
all melted, warm, & gooey
& sweet tea in a can

Walk Away
People may at times
rain on your parade
they may throw shade,
rant, rage, and rave
coming off as if half-crazed
but you can tune them out
& walk away
that’s perfectly okay

Madmen
I tried to watch a documentary
on poetry tonight
But honestly, I couldn’t watch it long
It was so dry, so empty, like a song
without the zeal, it had no deep appeal
It often felt more like I was listening
not to poems, but
to babblings of madmen

Glorious Day
Never lose your faith,
come whatever may,
never forget God’s grace
Soon enough we will see Him
face to face,indeed that’ll be
such a sweet glorious day

Vying For Victory
There’s so much about him that’s confusing
even sometimes seemingly contradictory,
there’s multiple sides to him
always warring & wrestling
each side trying, vying for victory
He’s a complicated man, ever growing
ever changing,
There are things that he is now
& there are things that he wants to be

Untitled New Poem
He walked into a roadside store to buy an ice cold drink
Then walked back out to his car, drove to a park
Where he loved to just sit & think
He thought about the birds high flying
& about a good friend that he learned was dying
How sometimes life is hard but we keep trying
& how he’s sick to death of media & politicians lying

Coming Down
His early days were spent wild in the Hollywood hills
A young man just looking for fast thrills
Soon though he was burned out,
finally coming down from the wine & the pills
Realizing he needed to get off of the path that kills

Time
He was living every moment
like he was running out of time
While others were walking,man,
he preferred to fly
His friend said:
“You’re always in such a hurry, I gotta wonder why”
He said “every heartbeat’s a gift, I don’t want to ever waste mine”
Tom Cotton
Crazy Tom Cotton crying in his beer
claiming he heard seagulls jeer
with words that no sane person could hear,
People told Tom Cotton
“Lay off the beer,
& keep your madness away from here”

Riverside, California
Bobby moved out to California,
the city of Riverside,
for a green eyed girl with raven hair,
he thought he’d make her his bride,
it didn’t quite work out like he planned,
turned out she had another man
all the time, she had lied
and Bobby was just the “side”
He said, “you played the Jezebel,
don’t expect me to wish you well”
