I want a friend to talk to,
Not a lover.
I want to talk about you
With another.
But don’t be scared,
I’m still in love with you.
I just want a friend to talk to.
Someone who will understand.
Because there are a lot […] Read the rest

A friend to talk to

Jaco
Lost in genius and manic.
Driven mad by the music.
Never letting go of your gift,
But abusing it.
Because it was better.
It was richer.
It was all consuming
And it devoured you.
Finding a superior drive within.
Harnessing the demons’ din.

That’s Life
It’s life!
Just a joke to those who don’t know.
Just a moving picture show,

It’s not about me.
It’s about the world we live in.
It’s about the way thing ought to be.
There […] Read the rest

gone, gone, gone
Another fine mess I’ve gotten myself into.
Another bit of trouble I need to get out of.
I don’t really know what to do,
but this just isn’t love.
I’ve never been good at confrontation,
and I don’t want a knock down drag out.
Still, […] Read the rest

Dunce’s Chair
It’s not ideas or discontent.
It’s an empty stomach.
It’s not an ism of any kind.
It’s a decent place to live
And we’re willing to die for it.
It’s not being told what to want.
It’s choosing for ourselves.
It’s not someone else’s […] Read the rest
