My coordinate System, youtube version... http://youtu.be/hVC2HCuVBA0


My Coordinate System

tobacco stained nightmares, in alcoholic sweat
the closet door pedophile’s preening on the net
as laughing gas dentist yank teeth from a grin
he smiles through the picket fence of his distorted sin

I’m not sure what this about
just mental masturbation with a climax of doubt
pre-*** verses dripping down societies chin
lethal contraceptive impregnating spin

there’s a digital recording of a life you didn’t plan
kept in sight by the face on a clock without hands
this cell phone is a tether with invisible string
connecting the forget-me-not’s with designated rings

and I,
I am a miracle

I am superman
without all the cool stuff

you are my kryptonite
only,
without you,
I would die
anyway

it’s a tricky thing, this life

some die heroic, others live in strife
while this flat tire turnstile keeps me on the side
so I trade one for another and the other’s just the same
lessons ever learned can always be reclaimed

and the good girls sometimes get wax across the chest
while bad boys swarm as angels take a rest
you trade one for another and the other’s just as lame
keeping with the theory of inertial reference frame

shadowboxer curser, blank computer screen
misfit island luau in honor of the queen
smoke signal drifters infiltrate the scene
corrupting all the produce and you’re a tangerine


and in a world of great disease I am immune
running round the motor track feeding on the fumes
seizing moments from a life like the dish and the spoon
trying to avoid the cow who’s returning from the moon


and I will
because I,
I am a miracle

I am superman
minus the cape

and sometimes,
she lets me wax

...poetic

The long of it...I enjoyed it Kevin, I enjoy everything you do!...It was even better on the U cause nothing was bleeped out:wink: ...Oh, and I like it when you write in rhyme...Too many are moving away from this traditional, not so easy to accomplish while maintaining content, style...xx and o...

The short of it...Don't be a stranger!flowers

and the night..... http://youtu.be/wtPvA0iZiPM



And The Night

tonight the air is still,
though predictably heavy with
humidity
that�s the way it is the south;
in the summer

the moon is full and brilliant in the Eastern sky
I�m sitting in the middle of my backyard
sipping a glass of wine,
enjoying the day�s last cigarette

all around me the night is swarming
a few lingering fireflies dance under the
wisteria canopy
that hangs from the Bradford Pear,
just this side of the back fence

tree frogs are calling out to
one-another
the bull frogs loudly proclaim
their presence
crickets and even locust
scream for their recognition
a coyote howls in the distance
and now, that little rat terrier next door
is joining in (as usual)
I genuinely hate that mutt,
But tonight,
I am at peace

in among the Pin Oaks next to the run-off creek
that borders me to the North,
on a crooked branch of the lone
hickory tree, sits my bi-weekly visitor
his magnificent silhouette is easy to spot
with the backdrop of the bright sky
he is rather large and being very vocal tonight
�who�who�whooowoooooo, who...who�whooowoooooo� he calls out,
and we wait
moments later, from the far off distance,
the exact call returns
and we are both
pleased

as menacing as he may seem
to the rabbit that lives here,
and the squirrels that remain hidden
in the trees around him
I find a comfort in his attendance

unlike the cat that just scurried into the bushes
at the corner of my house,
I look forward to seeing him
I usually talk to him, but tonight,
I simply sit here
with my feet wet from the dew,
clinging to narrow blades of grass that
high-fived my ankles�
as I walked through
the same grass that is home to the
spiders and worms, the ants and toads,
the occasional box turtle and snake
I just sit here and listen

the night is blaring, but
there are no sirens,
no cars passing by
filled with people too busy
to actually enjoy themselves
no children playing
no screams of fear,
just me
and the night,
full of activity
and it is exquisite

I apologize;
I thought for a moment tonight
I would write a poem
a poem about those arms, her arms,
the ones that hold me gently
when I need it
and firmly when I don�t realize
I need that too

it was going to be beautiful
(it would have been,
had she existed)
and God knows we all could use a bit
more beauty
but as I sit here, gift-wrapped,
by the din of my surroundings
the arms have been replaced
by something unexpected
and I�ve come to an understanding

though it is the true source;
under the vibrant glow
and hidden in the shadows
of this crystal moon,
lies enough beauty
to generate the jealousy
of a thousand interrupting suns

Cherry Flavored Lightning


there's a poison in you,
in us;
even if you always do taste
like cough drops.

it's much easier for
punch-drunk lovers
and one night
pass me by's.
harder still,
for people like us.

the addicted ones.

i can't be easy to love
i know this,

but your body warms me like
summer thunder
and mine comforts you like
a tourniquet.
a (love/storm)
throbbing lightning
in a bottle.

go ahead,
leave
before I do.
go ahead,
scream
loud,
in a voice only
ex-lovers can
understand.

I'll find you tomorrow
where music and
silence meet.
where we will kiss,
hard
and with the thunderous
passion
of colliding Gods
falling to earth

and we'll laugh
joyfully,
as we read this note.
knowing that
in these words,
here,
we will find nothing
more
than the dried chips
of ink
falling from
the wrinkled pages
of yesterday.

Beautifully Cracked... http://youtu.be/P51tmeKW5Sg



I am a door-
closed to a miner's curiosity,
open to possibilities.

I am emotion-
it's my calling card,
my anchor
and sometimes my
detriment.

I am sunlight.
I am shadow.
I am a vase-
filled with loose change.

I am a contradiction-
a blown glass caldron
of fragility,
a sculpture of
unimaginable
strength.

I am a book-
complete with
dog-eared pages
and misconceptions,
from being read
too fast.

I am-
the wind swept landscape
of a parched
high desert
mountain
and the quenching
sip of water
you can sample from
the valley of
my collarbone.

I am color coded-
Yellow- for the impenetrable hope chest I keep
Black- for the ugliness
Green- for the fields of serenity I cherish
Blue- for my manifest
Red- for the storms of passion I have stored along the way
White- (in waiting) ready for the release of those storms

I am infinitely complex,-
yet childishly simple
to please.

I am all of these things,
in combination
and none of them
individually.

I am a sidewalk-
beautifully cracked.

I am paper-
eagerly awaiting
your verse.
