General Admission

Countdown begins

Then the first song

It’s not a sin 

To sing along.

The groove and beat

Will make us dance 

Moving your feet 

In music’s trance.

As guitars scream 

Keyboard is cool

The bass, a dream

Rock and roll rules.

Know where to go

Listen aloud 

Gain your control 

Be with the crowd.

Buy the teeshirt 

Proves you were there

Which doesn’t hurt

Stories to share.

Until next time

You see a show

It’s quite sublime

I’m sure you know…

Three Things Challenge #935

Your three words today are:

INDIGO

INGEST

INJURE

Indigo Skies 

The sky was indigo as the sun had long since disappeared.

Deep night quickly followed, so I proceeded with caution lest I injure myself.

As the purples faded, I ingested the darkness, welcoming it.

Starlight darkness is a beautiful world all in itself.

Moons, comets, galaxies, distant planets all participate in a dance of the night sky.

After I’ve had my fill of midnight wonder, I start to fade and go inside for a long awaited dream-filled rest…

Beachside Villa Nap

Floating in the primordial gypsum of nothing

Silent without intention or any desired direction.

Darkness envelops as eyelids grow heavy 

as deep sleep consumes consciousness 

Awareness of only the thundering ocean 

Desperately endlessly beating a shoreline

Troubles worries and stress melt away 

With the serendipitous tide of salt water

Warm sea breezes waft in open windows 

Beckoning in the afternoon sunlight

In a room sparsely large enough for a bed 

Out humble narrator snores deliriously 

I should awaken for I have much to do

But my dreams keep me in place…

Fierce Beauty 

Starlight beauty stunning yet refined 

Her warmth and energy would not harm 

All the hurts and pain in the world erased

With just a whisper of her soft suggestion

Her fierce femininity flows with her life force 

Yet she is gentle and silent just now

Beautiful like the autumn moon

Glowing silky sunlight in her eyes

All the answers she has inside 

If you’re brave enough to venture

Like Diana the huntress, she suffers no fools 

With abundant cunning all in herself

She often runs free dancing in the breezes

Reveling in the cool soft grass underfoot

Obsidian skies painted in sonic cosmic dust 

Softly light all sharing in their presence

Delay not, you must keep up with her

Before you lose her in the shadows…

Windy Winter Night 

On a gusty windy winter night 

Feel no sadness or fright

Everything is alright 

This pure flame burns bright 

Climb to reach a new height 

With happiness in sight 

Hard past worth the plight 

Gaze hard and see the light 

Bidding adieu and goodnight…

Summer Of Twenty-Two

Same time last summer 

Why was it a bummer 

You had a deep need

That I could never feed.

When you said goodbye

Rivers of tears I cried

When I realized you didn’t care

I relearned that life isn’t fair.

I put it all on the table 

But your love was a fable

Painfully knowing all too late 

That to you I wasn’t great.

The passions we shared

Were beyond compare

Yet you took another lover

Your lies were uncovered. 

Not my lover not my friend 

Didn’t have my back in the end

It’d be easy to hope for hell 

But in the end I wish you well.

Lifetime Pain

All in my mind

All you need is love

Love is a drug

Love me do

Do you feel like I do

Do you wanna dance

Dancing in the streets

Dance in my blood

Blood on the ground

Blood, sweat, and tears

Tears of a clown

Tears of joy

Joy Division

Joy To the World

World without love

World in my eyes

Eye of the tiger

Eyes of a child

Children of the moon

Child of time

Time is on my side

Time of the season

Season cycle

Season of the witch

Witch craft

Witchy Woman

Woman to woman

Woman like me

Me and Julio down by the school yard

Me myself and I

I don’t want to spoil the party

I am one

One is the loneliest number

One step closer

Closer to God

Closer to the heart

Heart breaker

Heart of glass

Glass onion

Glass houses

Houses of the holy

House of the rising sun

Sunshine of your love

Sun king 44

King for a day fool for a lifetime

King of pain

Lifetime…

Pain…

I Am

I am open to change 

I am 1000 times the man I used to be 

I am creative and a free spirit

I am my mother and father’s son 

I am creative 

I am strong

I am open to change

I am a writer

I am a musician

I am grateful

I am forgiving of my past

I am an old soul

I am feelings

I am love

I am the sun of my parts

I am the product of my words not others 

I am…
