Truth
Rain from a dry storm Fall like bits of honesty And regret Like a bath… And you fill the beginning Or the end Of Remembrance And wrath
-
Again
Blood boils so quick anymore…. Always a joke- Can nothing be serious? Or even answered? Taking care is for granted- Maybe that’s why I stopped for so long? Clearly not long enough- Like time ever would be…. Pain is numbing Until it hurts- Or you stop. Does it stop? Or do you just go- I…

A Moment
Numb and present A glorious gift Beyond wolves and prey But a needed lift… Yes to reality But only to pretend- Learning from this Faith and sin… Understanding the moment While forgiving the past… Honest for a moment- Or seconds that last.
-
Ladies!-!
Talk me up Give me life Dull the blade Mend the strife.. Heal the burn Calm the rage Be the water- And clench the blaze… Be a rock Not the thorn Be the calm- Inside the storm… Feel the love Block the hate Be a partner- It’s not too late!
-
It’s Not
It’s not knowing Or thinking Just hoping Or dreaming It’s not nothing Or everything Just stopping Or going… It’s not believing Or seeing- It just is And breathtaking
-
Lightning Real
The storm rolls Without fury or fight Just a spark in the darkness To light up the night… The crows are silent And the wind is still- The air hot But still a chill… And while the Heaven’s talk Hell is asleep But all storms find life In the silence we keep… For no secret…
-
Consequence
Oh to have dreamt of death Or freedom In this world’s surround… And then contemplated tools Or in and out Nothing formidable was found… Yet still the thoughts Or thrills Reflecting only what was done… And while tortuous Or deserving Lest the consequence not be fun.
-
Forgiveness
Pebbles and rocks Rivers and sand People and places Fantasy be damned… And over the edge Where fantasies live No hunger or suffering Just something to give…. And numb as it was Alive was inside Not for what was lost- But for what finally had died.
-
Living
It’s not knowing Or thinking Just hoping Or dreaming It’s not nothing Or everything Just stopping Or going… It just is And breathtaking
-
Break
Yes! And that
-
Days and Time
Oh time you stump me-
-
I Would Like…
I would like to start with what I know- And share a special gift…
-
Again
Patterns simply repeat again
-
Challenge
Life is a challenge And mistakes make it real Love is for life While moments are a steal… Chances are fleeting Occasionally a bit of luck And even when you are moving It feels like being stuck… So you take a chance Or maybe even a fall… Challenge everything Or on one roll bet it…
-
Only God
Skies rumble Listening to their talk Believing in the voice Of temper and life Spring and summer They warn And test the living Bring back the dead With a power Only God would know.
-
Tit and Tat
Force my hand…
-
Open Door
You have the moment… Open the door.
-
Rat Race
Seeking a rat… or time and place
-
We Seek
We seek freedom and power Before age or beauty Concept or brain… Control of an empire Without fruitful desire Or judgement by trial… We seek knowledge before wisdom Love without return Journey absent destination… Inevitably the teaching After error and pain Humbled glory in vain… We then seek to turn And believe beyond ourselves Honoring…

Mother’s Curse
You bring me up You bring down Up to success And reduced to a clown… You believe in me With disappointment too And you’d be there for it all No matter what I’d do. You are the best Even when you make me feel worse… All in the benefit Of Mother’s curse.
-
Beggar
All while seeking forgiveness- And been judged the same.
-
Mortal Pain
Every step was counted As tears were dried And sobs were silenced… Sorrow was left to song Hope was left in prayer And faith closed in scriptures… Speeding was the time Stopped were the answers And reason in oblivion… Stepping off the mortal ledge How and why were wondered And lost was all he knew……
-
Void
Ideas were so much bigger before- Along with wants after needs… Possibilities were endless Along with you and me. Life wasn’t stoppable Even with roadblocks in the way… You just had to keep moving No matter what others would say. And drive kept the engine moving Along with truth and grit… But when time wasn’t…

Colorado Blizzard
The snow it came With inches and wind And a dilapidated fence Met it’s end. The drifts were deep And windows were iced March’s winter Put up a fight. A blizzard by day And a mess in the dark Makes tomorrow’s options Scary to start… But Colorado is true To the reputation it has- 50s…

The List
Oh how you grow And taunt me to fail… Oh how you stop In forgotten detail… Oh how you try To not let me forget… Oh how I wish Success I would get… Oh how I wait To remember you exist… Oh how the goals Just stay on the list.

Standing Still
Round and round Around to go Looking for straight Or what to show The wave is high As showers weep Lost in the dust Logic sleeps When moves could be made The world stood still All in the hopes Alone the heart would heal. Beyond the circle And what was done Opportunity lost Within the…

Unraveling
A moment after momentsUnraveling to start againAnother beginningBefore knowing the end A final tugTo fall apartNeatly balled upTo protect the heart And now the matterTo start it allDown the laneAnd up the wall. And when said and doneI’ll purr once moreHopefully a little betterThan those days before

Joy
I sit on the roof The bustle is below Searching for answers Within what I know I remember the butterflies And birds in the trees I see the world And the world sees me A re-acquaintance Life and me enjoy- But finding purpose Is like a gnat to annoy. So then I listen Beyond the…
