The Trail Leading Home

Crawling like a snake through the mountain pass
This trail leads home yet it could be your last
Put on rugged boots and your weathered hat,
Think of home, think of your lass.
Saddle up and prepare for mountain pass.

The heavenly realms are but spinning wheels.
We shan’t let their lethargy kill our will.
Still, each day, each night seems all the longer.
What won’t kill us makes us stronger.
Time is a foe with no end longer.

Diamondbacks rattle ‘neath shadowy cracks
But remain hidden; fearing hawk attacks.
Panthers roar and prowl around rocky scags.
In the distance Thunder roars
Lightning cracks as rain starts trickling down your hat.

Looking Up

Looking up to the diamond dotted sky;
Enshrine myself in the sanctity of night.
Beautiful wonders guide my yearning mind
To the planets, moons, and stars pinned high.

Looking up to the diamond dotted sky;
In trance I’ll stay until the break of day.
Perilous wonders guide my starving mind
Through barren voids and nebulas bright.

Looking up to the diamond dotted sky;
I’m hallowed by the purity of night.
Flaming wonder guides my thirsting mind
Soaring with the comet racing by.

Start Asking

What it takes to make a dream
Become your reality:
Resolve,
Discipline,
Drive and Ambition.
Practice,
Patience,
With these you just might make it.

So ask yourself what you lack.
It doesn’t take much to get back on track.

Start today and
Do it again
Tomorrow.

Won’t be long
‘Til your lifted
Out of sorrow.

What it takes to make a dream
Become your reality:
Vision,
Precision,
And Faith in Yourself.
Courage,
Intention,
Your life is your invention.

Don’t give up just yet.
Go give it your best
Every day.

Don’t get hung up on/
Don’t hate yourself for
Old mistakes.

If you’re feeling drained,
If you’re feeling the pain,
Just think from where you came.

What it takes to make a dream
Become your reality:
Vision (Resolve)
Precision (Discipline)
And faith in yourself (Drive and Ambition)
Courage (Practice)
Intention (Patience)
With these your life is your own
Invention.

Let’s Go Hero

Let’s go hero.
Let’s go hero.

Golden rays pour down to touch your face;
Everyone in the crowd cheers your name.
There’s no need for you to reach for fame.
You’ve shot to the top so celebrate.

Yet behind that opal smile:
Savage pains you must conceal.

Charm us with your noble will;
Leap into the fight with wild zeal.
You make it look easy when
Really it’s anything but.

Let’s go hero,
Let’s go hero.

(An original work inspired by the My Hero Academia character All Might)

Dancing Smoke

The smoke is dancing;
As it’s rising
Always shifting
Into something new.

The power plant is home;
The smokestack like a pole
For the dancing smoke
Polluting our worlds soul.

The woman waving her arm,
The serpent with wings and horns.
These forms and many more it
Takes, stretching through the blue sky

The power plant is home;
The smokestack like a pole
For the dancing smoke
Polluting our worlds soul.

Hill Country Road

Drive the highway East
To the hill country.

Leave the city behind.
Go where there ain’t no
Lights at night.

Down that narrow road
Weavin’ outta town.

Don’t have a market;
Only the trees.
Look at that one there
Lookin’ at me.

Drive the highway East
To the hill country
Baby.

Out of the Box

From out of the Box
Jack made a hop
But he didn’t look
Just where he would drop
He dropped with a plop
Upon a mop
Soiled and wet with
Nasty sop

A brief poem about the video game series Mass Effect:
Soaring across galaxies
Go and fry all the bad guys
To save the mu’f**kin day

A Space Tragedy

Ground control to Chief John
Your circuits dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me chief John?
Can you hear me chief John?
Can you….

Here I am!
Chief John to Ground Control,
Yes indeed, something’s very wrong.
We’ve been scorched by a
Formerly unidentified star.
The fusion core is dead, the crew have lost their heads,
And the red giant pulls us in. We live in fear
We have met our end.
Can you hear me ground control?
Can you hear me ground control?
Can you…

This is Ground Control to Chief John.
Here is your chance; tighten your stance,
To your sanity you must hold on.

Chief John to Ground Control.
What is it that you know?
Your’e on Earth but here the dearth of
Rationality is terrifying.

Ground Control to Chief John.
As a man of science you understand
Top research can be made
From where you stand.
Now if you would, act as you should,
Lead your crew in research til the end.

Damn you Ground Control!
You don’t think we’ve known that
This star here is prone to explode.

Ground control to Chief John.
Your circuit died again.
Can you hear me Chief John,
Can you hear me chief John,
Can you…

*radio static* *explosion*

There’s not a single show boat that would’ve made its way down river without someone loading the engine with coal.

I’ll Miss You

I’m going to miss you sweet friend.
What a shame; this is how it ends.
I just can’t believe that you, me,
We’re through.

It’s all because of mom
She wants to keep that dog.
That’s alright, I won’t fight.
She loves to play her games.

I can only imagine how
Bored you are all the time, like now.
No one to run with or to play
With, just a boring, nagging cow.

It’s all the fault of mom.
She wants to keep my dog.
That’s alright, I won’t fight.
She loves to play her games.

I hope she’s feeding you well, friend;
Hope you get, even a shred of,
Attention.
I can only imagine how
Your Life is something like a long
Detention.
