off canal

school day's attitude,
with
sun rays on a
red vette hood,
garden district and
french quarter blues,
fountain rain washes
'way mostly good,
but memories made
down by Jackson's square,
never fade,
I do declare,
so trumbone shorty blow
that horn,
on the corner
of
Royal' and Esplinade,
lucky dogs, hard lemonade,
maybe even
two or three hand grenades,
but, remember what ever goes down,
in that steaming shade,
history's in the making,
grafitti sign your name.

awake

eyes open slightly
with a rooster's crow,
a blink to sooth the burn
of eyes,
who've been scorched,
with bitterness and cold,
the rays of hope
I feel,
will break thru and glow,
and the mumbles of importance are heard spoken
low.

driveway

dusty driveway with hills of leaves,
terrain built with each sweeping breeze,
tire tracks groove their way,
footprints and skinned up knees,
a life time of memories,
somehow grow like neighboring trees,
countless tears and lost, big dreams,
returning home from lands un-seen,
some may look at their's and see,
cement, cracks and oil-stains,
but, I see so much more in mine,
the,
past and the present leave the future's signs,
not just a driveway now,
more like a moutain-side,
another world,
right beside,
the little white, perfect-house.

confused cranium: child to adolescent (Can you remember)

confused cranium: child to adolescent (Can you remember)

child to adolescent (Can you remember)

child to adolescent (Can you remember)

can you remember as a young child,
how simple things were,
saturday mornings my body felt like
a locomotive,
soon thereafter,
came soft lip first kisses,
finger tips entered,
button fly's werent' zippered,
never touched,
cept' those few wonderful wicked gardens,
at midnight,
where we ventured with steady hands,
broken hearts, bleed deep,
they heal,
where ever that may have been,
under star lit sky, camp fire,
naked bodies lay in the back,
of my 79',
trippin' billies, bon fires,
beer and boon farm wine,
and,
where exactly was it where we crossed that line,
where we couldn't spend the afternoon,
at your place nor mine?
and what could have been wonders my mind,
like wild mustangs roamed,
and crystal water creeks shined,
full moon high,
leaves rustled, no cried,
as they fell as the wind pushed them from their vines,
as we all fall one day,
merely a matter of time,
one life, one love, make it yours not mine,
love hard, beloved of mine,
all mine,
soul mates we are now and still be till the end of time.
