When I was born many long years ago
upon a little box my parents wrote my name
filled with their dreams of who they wanted me to be
inside this small box they then placed me
Over the years the larger I grew the smaller the box became
until the day I could no longer remain inside
for the world I [...]

Always On My Mind

No matter wherever I am
at any given moment in time
your always on my mind
wether stuck sitting in traffic
running my ass off at work
or in bed making love to my wife
your always on my mind
cause your keyboard is just so
sleek and oh so very sexy
your hard drive so well endowed
holds all my poems and stories
while your [...]

They live oh so downright long
its easy to think
they will keep right on ticking
stay so vibrant
perhaps they will live forever
march ever onward
just like the energizer bunny
right beside us
where upon life’s road we go
to take their love
companionship and friendship
oh so very granted
until one day the unseen signs
of advancing age
reaches up to grab our attention
by then it’s [...]

Once vibrant and full of life
now he hobbles
about like an ancient crone
curled up in a ball
he sleeps upon the doormat
in front of the door
dreaming of better days past
waiting for his master
to lift him upward in his arms
how long ago it seems
that he came to live with us
a furry ball of energy
so small and yet so [...]
From the Shadows

From the hidden darkness
of the black hole
that masquerades as my soul
comes the tales
the poems and short stories
my fingers love
to tap out upon my keyboard
Looking For Something!

For a very long time I’ve searched high and low
looking for something I can not find
I’ve looked under the porch and under the house
my home I’ve torn apart in vain until exhausted!
I’ve emptied my closets and storage building too
still all to no avail
yet without fail I’m looking still
for something I can not seem to find!
Deep [...]
The Poet

How long ago it truly seems
a bright eyed lad I twas
gazing into a star filled sky
dreams of far away places in my heart
Longing to travel throughout space
exploring the galaxy far and wide
seeing what no human has seen before
to stand upon the edge of reality contemplating infinity
Escaping the sorrows of my youth
into the land of day [...]
