Crossing The Line by Barry Williams

Remembering dismembering. Broken bones every year now. Can’t climb out, it’s a slow crawl. Kneel, tho’ it hurts, Because it hurts, so. You want to cut yourself, ya? You had enough of the bad, ya? Forget about all a that glad, ya? You gonna cut yourself. You shoulda shut you self. Here, in this dark […]

I sure do miss you mom. You were so much fun And when you came undone, It didn’t last. Those moods past fast. You had no clear idea. But you sure did see, ya. We made a big believe. Things were aye okay. One belief took ya to To a lake that maybe you Hoped […]

Buddy knew she knew he knew. But neither shall speak Of the stairs that squeak. Something is coming to get them. That something is not from heaven. It’s a imp, a gargoyle Coming to feed them, Geet them Bringing them Leven. Lucky your seven Rolls at the dice. Worked out nice And it will if […]

He was screwed, you might say And yes, just today He was hooped way more than was normal. There were hints though they seemed so informal. Nobody said we will all wind up dead. They were safe in their heads Without any dread So what lay ahead Had no bearing. They were wearing Their hearts […]

You say no you cannot do it. Strapped in fear shoes they fit. They will run you straight into heaven. And straight to hell if you allow them. But run you must just Don’t do ragged. Purveyor of dread. Take a step back from the edge, boy.

Respect, I can give without losing a bit. Some left over What to do with it? Same with love And God above. There’s alot. Alot to give.

Jesus, the float did not work And dude was that jerk That would let things be as they were. Dude didn’t care. He said you must beware. When you don’t care, I can’t and I won’t.

The car beside him Reversed fast. Buddy thought he hit the gas. But in park, he’s still, alas, Buddy ain’t going nowhere. No sense, already bin there. It’s a bad moo-vie Anyone can see All you do is don’t move Stay there…

Really no reason to get all upset. Lost fair and square Your little bet. Course, now comes a time of large regret. You gotta pay dem dues. Doin’ doze tings you’d choose Not to do if you could. But says life den you shoulda Looked at your actions. See sums and then some Times you […]

Life goes up and remembers forward Starts right there in the ground. An ant, a worm, a disgusting bug Buddy, you’ve been around. And each life time You remembered up Like a funnel pointing skyward On a coffee cup Life remembers forward and Life goes up. Ants have no memory of humans or birds Can’t […]

Hell has signs. Lots of signs. Hell has signs to make up minds. Hey NO ENTRY! YOU STAND HERE! Hell has signs about drinking beer. NOT TOO EARLY! NOT TOO LATE! Hell has signs like CLOSE THIS GATE! TOO FAST! TOO SLOW! Hell says STOP! And when to GO! Ya, you’ll know. If you’re so […]

Pick the right key And the lock is picked. Choose the right road And reality, tricked, Will grant you riches of a hundred men. Pick you right up and then again Bring you back down Back to earth. Riding in that limo Some call a hearse.

You died slow like One day at a time. And a death that slow Ain’t no damn crime. In fact, when time is on rewind. You’ll find you’re in heaven. You will be forgiven. Just you don’t remember. You were always there. All this here Is make believe. There was never any need to grieve. […]

I feel your thinking I have been drinking The thinking koolaid The thinking you laid Like a sidewalk there. Said you think sideways Said there are no days Said there are all ways But up and down. You’ll come around. Once you have found. That’s what it is.

They lie, they do and you stay true Even though it matters not. They have made their mind And while it seems unkind To them, it matters not. They see their way and pave the day With hard imagined facts. If you look away You will see that they Look a different way That sucks.

They always said whoa to me. They said; Whoa behind my back. Said whoa, Without us, You’re facked. Said we ain’t helpin’ none You’re cracked. Said go ahead jumpin’ to it, You’re backed. Said I ain’t leave no trace. I ain’t need no base. Said me? I am yo face! Said you, I can’t displace […]
