Barefoot Muse 12/01/07 Bohemian girl Barefoot muse with magenta nails Her lips Luscious honey Intoxicating smile Fulgent beam Her brown eyes Penetrating Still melts my frozen soul Delicate intimacy Cashmere caress Sable locks Auburn tints Four feet Nine inches Enchanting Mystical embrace Breathtaking Mind-bending She wrapped her heart around me Innocuous cocoon Sweet love Rarity Once in a lifetime perhaps Our innocence Oozed ardent passion Yearning cinders All just memories now Blues maelstrom Lonely swirl Melancholy sway Finally I bleed Coming down She What I need...

October 3rd 1989 03/09/08 Seventeen years ago today My unsteady world Revolved around a vodka bottle Egocentric Numb Hopelessly addicted Drowning in a sea of fermentation My aging mind grows foggy Few details of that energetic era remain Brain cell damage perhaps Or simply a coping mechanism To dull biting shards of guilt Hot Tropics Inc. Bankrupt tangle of shattered dreams Thousands of impressionable young fans Dismayed Stunned As they witnessed the public meltdown I accept full responsibility Regretful nightmares Haunt me to this day One glowing gem remains Gloriously standing tall Angelic Arisen from the ashes You Sarah Ellen Grimes My special baby girl My inspiration October 3rd, 1989 Life changed forever that day I was there as you arrived Raising hell with the busy Doctors Anxious To finally see the faces Of gentle voices so familiar I held you As together we rocked for the first time Your crystal sparkling eyes met mine Enchanting Miraculous Your mystical spell Seized my soul forever I remember vividly Such a helpless feeling Unworthy Afraid Yet proud Extremely exhilarated So many failures as a father Lofty price to pay For my conceited sickness Foolish choices Priceless wasted time Words Shall never replace lost memories Instead A gift from my heart to yours Sincere ode to you Eternally esteemed In honor of your precious spirit My beautiful Daughter How I love you so

I Am And I 05/28/08 Flowing with His current Surfing holy tide Wander where He leads me My soul Satisfied Following His guidance Budding holy tree Accepting life on sacred terms Letting it all be Peace Satisfaction Joy Serenity Not worthy of His blessings Or grace He's given me Grateful nonetheless A miracle It's true Saved by love Sweet Jesus Christ Born again Brand new Join the angels Daily praise Live for Him each day His light Shines deep within me Helps me make my way A song of praise and gratitude

Discarded 06/15/08 So difficult to fathom Selfish lust of youth Before Invigorating Tonight Painfully clear As the colors fade Emotional deceit Young woman Tender Virgin silk Ravishing Consumed Gnawing hunger Fierce desire To be desired Longing only to be loved Hormonal mind games Splotchy ecstasy Countless carnal liars Raging fire Now smolders 3:00 a.m. Alone Stained sheets Streaked mascara Her delicate head Gently cupped In palsied hands She sobs Ever so softly He seeks a fresh conquest Discarded As a well worn dress Second hand romance Lacerated heart Overwhelming Feeble shame Invades her broken soul

God's Sense Of Humor 07/31/08 Flowing words From deepest chasm Wounded Screaming out in pain Sacred thoughts Cloudy dreams Soulful script unfolds Esoteric metaphors Lack of metered rhythm Critics can be damned Jeers the aging wordsmith Nobel truth Never futile Needs no coy defense Melancholy smile From she who truly feels it Distant twinkle Darts through her misty eyes So beautiful Hypnotic She lives on the inside Warm Safe Secure Longing for solutions Going through the motions Genuine fulfillment Beyond her silky grasp He wanders Just outside the glass Lonely Mystified Trying hard to sustain Brave game face Trusted Gentleman Gazing in at her Craving her angelic touch Familiar comfort zone Surreal fantasy Thirty years A vacuum So many things have changed Many more Not altered By the fleeting time God's sense of humor Two separate lives Unique relationship Friends Forever bound Four hundred miles between

Surreal Love Story 07/31/08 Magic Adoration Mysterious union Born so many moons ago Surreal Breathtaking still Screams in harmony Silent lament Boy meets girl Romantic ritual Dancing down the brittle yearbook pages Explosive adolescence Veritable plunge Mask of blind pursuit Threadbare facade Hidden gems Strewn about in dreamy glee Ripe for the picking Alas Just out of reach Dying on the vine Slowing down to feel Poetic elegance Absorbed Truly understood Taken seriously Unassuming audience Haunted memory Sultry eyes Aflame Glowing embers Passions radiance Internal Empty fantasy Stagger Ever so lightly On subtle might have been Reclusive thoughts Strangely sentimental Emotional ghost Flowing through his lonely soul Longing to be free Wings of non commitment Artistic expression Low key stillness One fragile heart Barely beating now Courteous small talk Pleasant euphemisms Surrogates for deeper pain Waiting patiently On a cab that shall never come
