    • If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited. Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated. It is not discourt

    Just a Day in Woodland Hills

     String them along
    Those wooden boys
    With dreams of becoming real
    Already inscribed in fates pages
    The path is clear
    Mapped out with fear
    For destination death
    A red X marks your treasure
    Heaven is waiting
    Sleeping in the stomach of a whale
    Finding your fire?
    Your desire for art
    As the paint wears off
    Scratched and chipped
    Half grim and broken
    Choking on the bones
    Your hollow frame is getting restless
    Of the every day mess you make
    Of all that is beautiful around
    She guides your hand
    Matches with the devil
    Up the mountain of life
    At the top you see the smoke
    Passing by the signs
    They read: Do Not Pass
                  Highly Flammable
    Hypnotized by the eye in the sky
    You never notice
    Mindless autopilot on
    You’ve reached the climax
    Death, into the fire you walk
    The end, nothing exciting
    Just a day in Woodland Hills.

    Nice pocket, I always have to read your work more than once, first to appreciate the beauty of your words and second to understand the beauty of thier meaning.

    To not be remembered has to be the worst fate of all.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
