Cold Hands, Warm Thoughts

I’ll cry for you And you cry or me We’ll cry for things That will ne’er again be Moments in time That can’t be re-grown Like nerves in the hands That are cold as a stone Conversations that ended And won’t start again You scratch and you scribble But can’t write with the pen Trails…

Mind Solitaire

We live our lives inside our minds Thinking out every situation, a million different lines We note the ones we like And observe the ones we might We begin to build the one we love Inside our fevered brains, the one to fit like a glove Each one we meet against the list is weighed…

Magic Moment Numero Uno

I’ve shared about two other magical moments in my life so far. It’s time to tell you about the first time. That first time when I truly understood what people meant when they said, “Magical Moment.” This first magical moment involved music, as all my magical moments do. I have something of an audio-graphic memory,…

Heart Throb Strong

They say that nuclear strong force Is the strongest force in the universe It holds our atoms together It binds together everything in the universe Electromagnetic force spirals along its field lines Winding together the two magics of magnetism and electricity Spiraling around planets, pulling electrons Pulsing out voltages through space Gravity is our close…

Desperate Times

Many of my rhymes Remember those desperate times All those nights where I cried The days I wished I had died I would wake many mornings Already in mourning Those were the worst days The times when I was crazed I opened my eyes with no energy Life and I had no chemistry And the…

Warm Wind Blowing

The warm wind Will blow away All that’s left No words No feelings No thoughts No pride No sorrow No anger No questions No answers Only dust On that warm Summer wind

Definition

In my deep pools of anguish I say that I’m garbage In the heights of my mind I surmise myself a genius In the times of abstinence I consider myself pure In the years of plenty I count myself successful In the midst of my fury I call myself fire In the waxing of my…

Nothing Ever Changes (?)

It seems I’ll always be a “brother” And never a lover My hives never leave me They peek up so easy I wonder if my life could ever change At all But maybe these prayers of saints Can lift me up out of these straits Out the decrepit life I’ve been living Into a light…

Diet Of Lovely

To make good food, you must eat good food To give birth to beauty, you must experience beautiful moods But our perception of beauty is twisted We look at loveliness with eyes misted We want our version of the American dream But our hopes and dreams have common themes Cars, houses, TVs, everything that money…

Makeup

Makeup oh makeup It’s time these girls wake up And see that their caked up Faces are fine Makeup oh makeup Please end this big fake up Their face kits please take up And stop the decline It seems quite a doozy That women get woozy At the thought of shadow free Eyes (or unlined) Dear…

#Blessed

Sometimes I try to read the news, and then I remember why I always stop. I see so many painful things, but those aren’t why I stop. I can deal with pain, I’ve dealt with pain in my own life, my dad lives in constant, chronic pain, often times it seems this world is a…

My name is Daniel, and I have addictions I indulge myself too often with decadent chocolate ice cream I watch far too many movies I am without a doubt addicted to the bass (not the fish, but that deep humming sensation in your chest hinting that the music might be a little loud) I have…
