Whisky love it burns so good

The more I take the less I feel

              The more I feel?

The less it’s real

               Lines are blurred

Take another sip

              Get drunk on it

Feel the warmth inside

Don’t worry about where it comes from

In this moment I am happy

And that’s real enough for me

If I keep drinking

It doesn’t have to end

And I don’t have to face the truth

And you drink with me

What are you trying to hide?

Calling a Muse

As many have called before me

I speak to Zeus’s daughters

A muse to guide me forward.

We used to talk all the time.

Pages flowed through me with such ease.

Now I rarely pick up a pen without necessity.

A number here an address there.

When the pen used to draw ink from my blood.

My veins pulsing inside the well.

Bringing life to my pages.

Please bring that life back to me.

I won’t abort it anymore.

Let me embrace the voice you speak through me.

Unborn children lay inside.

Infinite stories they wait to live.

Help me set them free.

Unbind the cloth around my eyes.

Set free the shackles on my wrists.

Let my heart beat true again.

Without the poison of doubt.

The crippling insecurity.

Silence the voices that deny my will to try.

Don’t let me just try.

Make me succeed.

Beyond tribulation.

Let my destiny be the one I write.

Ink to parchment.

Pen to paper.

Fingers to keyboard.

Let the prophecy come true.

I invoke you.

Red Lipstick

Perfect red lipstick,

Not too blue, not too orange,

Little girl grown up.

The players change

The story remains

Scenes shifting

Language altered

Consequences the same

Life, religion, war, death,

Loss, rebirth, love, again,

We haven’t changed

What have we learned?

How to find a different path

To the same ending.

It is not enough to dream,

It is not enough to try,

You must take action,

And understand that failure is necessary,

To separate those who can’t,

From those who find a way.

There is a place inside my head

Where worlds collide and grow

Creations forming in my sleep

Unconsciously I sow

I need to reap them lest they die

The world will never know

Unless I harvest all of them

And get on with the show

Away from you I’ve lost all hope

That we could ever be

A new strength rising deep inside

I’m stronger now, you’ll see.

Mall Walker

8am it’s time to go

I’m heading straight to the mall

“Do you work here?” Oh my no!

Passing strangers in the hall

Now move out my way

 The trick is to walk briskly

You must never try to run

Turn every corner quickly

Indoor exercise is fun

A must every day

 In the mall I’ve found my place

The gym is just not for me

It’s a fast walk, not a race

And I do it all for free!

A fine price to pay

 Just like that cool pink bunny

I keep going and going

Some people think it’s funny

I don’t sweat I’m just glowing

Pass them and say “hey!”

 One thing that I’m bothered by

Is the people who don’t move

As I’m passing, come on, why?

Man you’re messing up my grove

Just move over, k?

 I just don’t have time to stop

The mall opens soon… at 10!

No I won’t stay here to shop

Too many women and men

I keep crowds at bay
