Take me away from everything I know For there is no need to know me anymore I won’t crowd the path to the world above The earth beneath needs me much more Don’t yet burn me in the fires above The sand below is making my bed My smiling images will always conceal The hidden pains that no one need know The burden of every … Continue reading Broken Glasses
In time I leave fragments of me In time I live only fragments of me In anger, dies fragments of me Memories, they bring back fragments of me In hate I always loose fragments of me, And Love tries hard holding together fragments of me I was born as a whole and fragmented in time I am fragmented by being who I am I can … Continue reading Fragments
Crippled mind in over fed bodies Judging the life in the ill fed bodies They don’t move, Dead is his verdict With eyes on the face that can no more see He stares at those faces with dried out tears Don’t be sad He says, it is all part of life Muted for life by the locks of indifference In his cozy closed home he … Continue reading Why?
When I saw them play I knew what I had lost When they talked to open space I knew my imagination was dead I went to them and asked Who are you guys talking to?

All you fellas open those sleepy eyes Eyelids still half dipped in brandy or rum still smelling the poison of your choice Wakeup for the saturday sunshine has come Smothered by the blanketed sky The dark whispers of the night Slowly unravels life’s mysteries The golden poison inside the glass Its lascivious call has my name It is saturday night my friends And I am … Continue reading Some recent thoughts on life and alcohol
I might not have the strength to pull the huge logs
But I have the will power to stop you from cutting the trees
I might not have the money to buy you out
But I have the heart to feed someone needy
I might not have the power to change the whole world
But my little world is all in my power
I might have feared for everything unknown
But today what I know is all my strength
I might have trembled under the gun
