  • Post Patrick!

    Growing up is searchingfor that pot of gold.!The rainbow comesAnd the search begins…Innocence explores every hill- climbs every tree!Just to chase a butterfly-And see the bees…Then in the flowersYou find life and you find honesty…You grow and…Up like the flowers…To realize scientific truth!Growling up is learning that rainbowsCome from water and not gold!But happy hunting…

  • Always Poor

    Thank you!We finally broke!!Half serious…Almost a joke?But it happened –To stop it all…It was needed!While ignoring this crawl!Because as longThere was a dollar or cent…There was no way to stopThe nickels spent.So at last . . .Closing the cracked door-Because nothing changed …We were always poor!

  • No Reason

    I know nothingYet I know less todayThere is no reasonTo be gone this way.My heart mournsFor you and moreDarker daysNo doubt in store.For anyone to HATEBecause you don’t agreeYou are an evilWe should never see.May you go soon to hellFor what you have done!Charlie will add to HeavenAs we stand in love as one. To…

  • You!

    You!

    Angrier by the minute.At the end of every bump in the road is you. The excuse, the illness, that is you.I hate you.I hate the pain, turmoil, and everything that comes with you.You are the thing that stole you.And You need to go away.

  • Better

    What advice would you give to your teenage self? Life gets better So long as you ignore ignorance In others And yourself… Time is healing And is hard But not giving up Is its own reward. And when you have the chance Take a stand! For what is right!! Not what others have planned!!!

  • Cry for me

    A moment cried for me

  • Wasted

    I was once less goodWhen my vision was clearI did less listeningWhen I could perfectly hear…Selfishness was abundantLike years when you are five-But it’s when I changed,Emptiness would thrive…I keep taking stepsOn this wiser road-And while I’ve learned muchThe heavier is the load.I can’t help but wonderWhy I continue to stay,When the path is so…

  • Maybe

    The smallest chanceWithin a glimpse…Butterflies hiddenCausing his wince…For a yesIn her eyes todayUntil the mouthComes with nothing to say…But for notRegrets would cheer –Intention so blissful,Challenged by fear.The prick of a roseTo wander his crazy-With a moment to ask…My Valentine; Maybe.

  • In The Middle

    I don’t pretend to know everythingOr anything,,,,But l am definitely in the middle ofOf nothing…And something!

  • Ignorance or Innocence?

    Innocence is so evolvingIn everythingWhile disappearingInto something …Evil maybeOr pureIn the diseaseOr a cure….Of knowledgeOr ignoranceIt’s the pastAnd present tense….But not the futureGenerations bury deepIt’s just what isNo matter what we seek.

  • Hourglass

    Am I angry?Sure!Every thankless roadNo matter the fork-Or knife! Still the houseWithout a lakeA bountyOf giveAnd take… And lifeContinues no matterWhat miseryOr happinessThe loss! The picture…It’s bigger!Then rulers and dollars…Or boxes-Of course. So I bendWe passTo a timeAnd directionIn a glass.

  • Happy 2024!

    Hello 2024Who are you?Times of changeAnd leadership a few…So many electionsIn so little time;Humble the worldAnd distilleries of wine…With harbingers laidAnd prophecies spent –Learn from pastNot where it went…For when there is progressSo too is a debt!Artificial intelligenceIs a mind’s personal threat.As we start a new yearLet’s learn from beforeThank God for your blessings…Not the…

  • Merry Christmas

    May your belly get fullAnd drama stay low,Your heart be warmWith your body in toe.May you give without returnAnd receive without debt,And love those around youNo matter if you’ve met…May you feel the spiritWith all our Lord brings.And have a Merry Christmas!In glory to our King.

  • I Won!!!

    I escaped!I am doneIn the name of freedom!I have won!! I skipped the tableAt least for nowMy apologies to the pigAnd family cow. . . Now onto ChristmasOr the silly season for short!You lost in what mattersAnd my run is the retort!! You have notIn that which you win..It’s not in retailBut love in its…

  • Spirit Halloween

    One by oneSmall and large-Dressed and different,And almost in charge… Doorbells will ring!And lights will be on!Until the sugar is out. . .And again they’ll be gone… Completely blindTo us out here…Hiding in the décorThat fantasies our fears. . . Until the dayThere is nothing to fear-Because they’ll be the onesHiding right here… So, we…

    Mortal lifeSo basicRoboticAnd complacent We passLife goesSo fastWe barely know… The meaningOr benefit;Just the lossTrivial regrets. But the momentIs as it wasNot logicallyBut just because.

    Sometimes it’s a wasted lifeNot because you were so greatBut because othersLeft you wasted

    I woke upTo A purpose missingNo sign availableOr even whistling And when askedWhat it would takeIt was an answerI couldn’t make For misery is companyAnd therefore I keepIt’s only the matterThat makes me weep.

  • Unworthy

    Unworthy

    LifeBecomes lifelessNot because of a fallOr autumnBut becauseHistoryPurges the outcome… Of youUs and we-PossibilitiesOne could be- Because it was oneJust like beforeHistoryWas just to ignore… And when you cryFor mercyJust knowIgnoranceMakes us unworthy.
