Sunrise
Rising from slumber
She greets the day from his arms
Shining bright for all

The Johnny Tabloid – Volume 11 – SALSA
Busted!
Originally posted on Underground Energy:
There have been massive outcries for this new edition of the Johnny Tabloid. I have been prowling around as usual trying to get some dirt on that scoundrel Johnny Ojanpera. Apparently, he is is selling salsa now. As if its not enough to write books, make music, and create amazing art.
I caught up with Johnny and the fam at the performing arts elementary school their children attend during the boosterthon fun run PTO fundraiser....

Right, Im stepping outside of my comfort zone here so behave yourselves, you hear.
A few weeks ago I wrote a poem/song entitled Harlequinthat Johnny Ojanperaread and liked. As it happens, he had just written a piece of music entitled Lost and thought it would make a good background to a spoken piece.
Well, my weans, being who they are, said I sounded soft reading to music. I took that to mean like Telly Savalas talking...

Music Theme – Shadowside
Maddie chose our theme for this week. “Shadowside”is a Brazilian metal band. That’s all I really know. This theme made me think of stalkers.
“Star 69″

I’m Waiting
Conversations soaked in midnight reverie
Tears softened with shadowed empathy
Fingers impatient for knowing comfort
Acoustic lullabies vibrate with longing
Stealing back stolen time in sultry sighs
Unwrapping our identities lost in disguise
Secrets spilling more rapidly than the wine
Intimacy of souls and thoughts, subtly carnal
Imaginations merge into words, blurred
Erasing the lines that attempt to tame
Stretching our legs as we itch to run wild
He and she becoming one in the refrain

Arroyo
I dont belong in a land of air
Hunters of hell know my name
Sands of time claim my shame
Every dawn brings a smile
Only to be dried and cracked
Leveled flat for every sunset
Teeth bared by the witches hour
Resolve twisted around signs
Heaven’s myth never applied

The Sentinel
Have a seat while I stand
I can even march in place
To the song of your voice
Echoes off my stone walls
Runs head-to-toe through
Stains paintings in the hall
Your chorus is my favorite
Always gives me the chills
Like old cymbals, off-beat
A record scratch repeating
Only unlocks the darkness
Same as broken windows
Cold air blows in as it wills
I’ll wince but won’t flinch
The good seat is all yours
Have a seat while I stand
Calling out to your soldier
I will always be listening

Softly Knocking
There is a corridor deep within you
I am forbidden to traverse
A hall of horrors is your claim
But you fail to understand
I dwell within a hell of distorted mirrors
My reality becomes a startling illusion
My darkness usurps your shadows
Infringing upon invisible boundaries
You retreat and I fail to give chase
Your secret is you crave to be wanted
But you fear to be someones prey
The bond between us is tenuous
Fraying against the friction of our sanities
Despite your subtle warnings
I refuse...
