Time Tables

Time tables make minds stable

Or break them wide open

Break down the way forward

Elevate the truths inside

Deconstruct the journey

Fight against the memories

Seduce the joy, invite the wonder

Beckon the strength

Block the midnight call to arms as

Day slips in to halt the breakdown

That darkness bred the night before

Don't be drawn into the race

As sand pours through the hourglass

As the deadline approaches

Keep your mind from breaking

While you cast your gaze to the horizon

Dawn smooths out the wrinkles of time

And we wake before the breakdown

And, we break the day wide open!

 Life Blood

Pour the colors of your heart onto the canvas

The stark white reflects a thirst for pigment

Expression causes the blank space to vanish

A gift to be treasured by the voyeur’s vision

Let the words within, drip as poetry from your lips

Carved out from memories over the passage of time

Wellspring of emotions rushing into script

Interpretation as fluent as the gestures of a mime

Put pencil, charcoal or ink to paper reflecting the images inside

Sketching utensils rush from inkwell to linen

To transcribe those etchings littering the halls of the mind

No boundary, no box of rules on how to begin

Stream the consciousness of your soul into song

The notes are burning embers of pain and desire

The structure is a collision of moments that belong

To the string of vacancy spilling chorus into the fire

Strike the chords composed by your imagination

The audience will memorize the rhythm

Sparked by their desire for reconciliation

Music is the universal healing serum
