The Funhouse

Welcome to the Funhouse...

Welcome to the funhouse, a place of dim light, acrid smoke, and twisting mirrors Where truth becomes lies, facts become pointless, hope is an act of desperation, and lies become creeds A place of unconditional love, where people hate you, because they love you, without ever knowing you Where the tolerant among us, are the most intolerant around, open-minded to all the things, they agree with completely In this place of in...

My Type

A twist in the tale

MY TYPEI’m into her typeShe is definitely worth the hypeI got an eye on her like a pirate Can’t wait to have her in private Designed by her Gods, definitely built for touchDespite the game of odds, I think her and I are a match God, if you are listening, you know I don’t ask for too much Gimme a shot, not the full game just one match Not the whole box, just one match…. (Stick) I can spark a flame, give my competition thei...

No tips for the tipsy waitress Sloppy in her steps, hoarse in her voiceShe slips the tip in, like a guy begging to have the tip inShe smiles at her old selfies but cries in the mirrorShe smiles at friends and foes but inside she’s a killer Fell in love with a drug dealer, her dad was her 1st heroFace of a killer, but his heart soft as a pillowShe rolled around with the bad boys; she liked their confidence, Their influence...

There is magic in her words,That puts you in a trance.Her poetry is music,That begs your soul to dance.She paints a kind of beauty,That also crushes the heart.Like millions of stars falling,Before it tears the world apart.Her fears, joys, and sorrows,Her hushed whispers in the dark,Leave you utterly breathlessAs they singe and leave a mark.I asked how she did it,And I ended up regretting.For there are some truths,That are...

Standing on opposite sides of that hardwood floor under those heavy Venetian chandeliers which were ablaze with light. I saw her standing there looking a bit out of place wearing a backless cotton dress with beat-up old Converse sneakers, in a sea of silk and lace finery and black tie. Yet it seemed as if the Tao directed this moment to happen as all parted like the sea as her green eyes locked on mine. She reminded me of...

Roaming Home

Another trip to nowhere

I know I have been here before. I could never forget this place where I watched the leaves change to vibrant shades of orange and hues of green. Or maybe the green was in your eyes as I fell asleep and you tended my cries. This tiny home so far from home. We walked away, wandered and roamed. Here I am again. Right, where I began.I love this house so much. Watching the snow, feeling your touch. Dancing nude in the backyard...

Rising from the mist of memory are the recollections of those I have seen and known in both battle and the times in-between. With me still feeling the stings of some undone wars that still rage like a fire out of control. Making me feeling a bit unsteady and wanting to hold on, even after leaving that place that never felt like home to the one that did. And still there are those who through either ignorance or their idea(...

It’s a warm August night, a breeze wafts through the air, trees smoothly swaying in the wind’s gentle might, a billion points of wonder glow as if only for me, while the moon shines on in ever bright, the steady rhythm of oceans washes at my feet, here and now, so much is right

Everything is a form of energy and that's all there is to it, so match it to the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way, for this is not philosophy; this is a form of physics. And theory exists, but only works on paper and not in practice. And with every waking breath I take I can feel a form of sadness and I am able to see what life has dealt to me, and I ask f...

The tempest stopped, our doom has passed us by, Strong winds now die and leave the world at peace. This storm has ended, dawning day draws nigh. Through thunderous lightening, flashes in the sky, We weathered all the gales and dire caprice.The tempest stopped, our doom has passed us by.Flood waters drain away, the lanes soon dry, And streams are waning as the rains decrease.This storm has ended, dawning day draws nigh.Exp...

What is known by him and them about sacrifice when the lights go out, and when the darkness comes crashing down like an anvil? And then they wonder when some stand up when they launch their attacks, and don’t understand that when one has shed blood with another it makes them brothers forever and makes them one to be trusted. All in all, we continue to carry on knowing in most cases the life is more than what we are and at...

There is a curious paradox that no one can explain, and part of it is why we must die a bit before we grow again? In most cases it isn’t worth tears even if all spin about wearing masks and won’t bother to lend a hand. With there sometimes not being any place to go to, and it feels as if all were born in a thunderstorm and making all learn how to survive. Only being able to find solace in what some would call the stranges...

Needing some to take the look of worry off their faces, and realize I am just an ordinary man and not magnificent like I was once thought of by myself and others. Different in the regard, that I have fought for so long to be an individual, which in most cases has become a rare and exotic thing, and I don’t worry anymore about or care for their words of praise which just sounds like they are gargling with razor blades and...
