Favorite Quote
"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe."
-Neil Gaiman

About Me

Photobucket
Paul Matsumoto's early years as a human rights activist included marches with Bobby Kennedy, Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez that inspired his pursuit
of human justice.
His brief music career allowed him to share the stage
with the legendary Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix,
furthered his appreciation of the expression of the
human condition through music.
And a career as a personal counselor that would span over four
decades, underscored the importance of aiding man's spiritual
understanding of his own nature.
Today, Paul expands upon these urgencies through a personal
and collaborative effort through the arts as a writer, poet, and
songwriter.

In the Rain



Under a parched sky and its unforgiving sun

I searched through the tallgrass plains

for a sign our work is done

and I will languish in your Serengeti rains


Under an arched sky and Cassiopeia's stars

we searched through the unwelcomed pain

for a sign of life… Continue

Straight to You


Down the dwindling

spiral of the rabbit hole,

past the spiritual madness

of conspiracies unknown,

past the perfect delusions

of finely manufactured truth,

past the triumphs of bloodthirsty kings

and the ruthless ignorant,

past the whirring generators… Continue

Song of a Chosen Sunrise

Photobucket

Your finger presses my lips

presses me beyond the eclipse

of sinking souls of wrecked ships

the sinking souls of wrecked ships


Madness pursues my indecision

mind ruined by its revisions

victim of its lack of vision

victim of its own… Continue

I Walk the Earth

Photobucket


I walk the earth

with gravity's comfort

gliding past the ghost ships

of unglinted eyes

in dreamless imprecision



I walk the earth

with misspent intent

hiding infinite complicity

of epiphanic eyes

in ripe… Continue
