Winter Highs

Flakes rest on eyelids
Deep exhale of ivory
Footprints give wonder

Snowfalls upon naked trees 
February calms my soul

My Angel Mermaid

Diamond cut clouds
Make the rain shine
In the evening light
Sky blue water 
Cleans my conscience
As my mind flow ripples the sea
Around the necks of dolphins 
Hangs a piece of jewelry
As clear as an unfogged mirror
As pure as a virgin seahorse
My stones make waves 
In the ocean 
But does not disturb 
Yet comes the perfect solution
As every problem washes away
Bringing a lovely mermaid
To catch my sinking Diamond
And give me another day

52 Pieces Of The Gun

Laid out like The Dalton Gang 
Pale white like ostrich head 
Arms crossed eyes shut for graves 
Pyramids raided like weed heads 
Rolled blunt fires scorching
Across ancient grounds
Tar on tip of cigarette light up
Blow like jokers bet 
Sinking like hollow waters 
Almost like the cement isn't set
Six shooters load & fire
Aim for higher like unsatisfied spirits 
Exposed from bullet holes 
Like flaming exhibitionists
Bill Powers like Grant Dalton
Full brim hat 
Neatly trimmed mustache
Archived like revolver blueprints

Grass Greener

Hair turned grey 
As my nose got caught in barbed wire
I sat & observed asinine beings
Crawl under white picket fences
I swore it was an illusion
The sight of red running bones
Standing in the mirror while baby 
Cried its little heart out was sickening
I kept two cents in my pocket 
And gave a steady lick of silence 
A painting of four open mouths
Waiting to be fed like goldfish
Swimming for feed 
Shed like dwarf frogs on a hot day
Put my conscience in a box
Digging deeper, bleeding thoughts
Not suitable for stable ground
