St Patrick
Oh the fortune of the Irish And ignorance of men Here is luck Back at it again The gold is there You just have to find The rainbow in hiding Or frog in kind Music for dancing Beer for fun Life’s a party When pinching is done. And green in something Beyond eggs and ham…

Prison
Lost is life – before anyone knew

Running Behind
No matter the learn – world turns

Human Connection
I want to talk And ignore you too I want to agree But still I stew. I want to imagine Just to forget Know the moment Acknowledge the threat. I want to change What I think I see… I continue to fight In the hopes to agree. I want to stop Before I go… It’s…

Changes
Changes over time Now just different The storm only rages Calm before is gone And permanent Like a stain on a white dress For all it wasn’t After losing what was.

Dreamers
In the back of a minute We are all they’ve got

Adulting
Loving you Hating you Is the only life I know. Having company Being lonely Are within the seeds I sew Coffee whispers Wine lingers As life has its say And like tomorrow Repeats the now Reason finds its way

Survive
Sometimes you change At just the wrong time Everything held against you Existing is a crime. Sometimes you break Along with everything in the room Walls close in Sealed to your doom. Sometimes you stop And life keeps rolling by… Filled with hurt watching But lost is your cry. Sometimes you give up Because you’re…

Magic
I am but a child Confined to adult walls… Begging for mercy- And punishment to stall. Seeking fairytales And no ending to fear… Defeating any beast Credits only to cheer. Belief in a magic Even logic cannot break… Angels patiently waiting- When life is more than I can take. I want to find heart In…

Morning Moment
I lay here The only one awake… I sense peace See shadows Feel comfort. The silence is healing And my benefit… Just by taking this moment To notice it’s here.

Worth Seeing
I had this world Beautiful and pure Wonders everywhere Tough to ignore. Slowly fractures Impacted the lens And what was loved Turned past in tense. The fractures are mine Minutes are pure But sometimes breaks Are much to endure. Life is a shuffle Made into a race And granted before Leaves no room to replace.…

Breaking Needs
I just need a break For you to listen For you to care… I need to be heard And be loved To know you are there. I need to return What I ask Is that possible for me??? Oh dear life Refrain the martyr Only beg what you see.

New Year
Another one gone And a new one in Heart’s now hopeful To begin again Hopeful 18’s success Will put the pain of 17 to rest Mind’s eyes finds secrets To start creating the best. It’s a New Year And in some ways a clean slate- And it’s up to each one of you To fill…

Take On
Take on me Troubles and gains Take on tomorrow Victories and pains Take on now Moments and truth Take on innocence Naivety of youth Take on yesterday Lessons from past Take on the future Something to last Take on now Like you have never done Take on the moment Like you’ve already won

Am I!
Am I angry Or sad The horizon lacks a name Am I comfortable Or awkward Pleasure causing pain Am I lonely With company Minutes are so loud Am I aware Or dreaming A shadow in the crowd Am I here Or gone Is it Life I choose to live? Am I changing This season Not…

Heart’s Prayer
Your grace and love Are needed today For in your care Is the only way. We need some strength And little peace To clear the way For fear’s release. He is in your hands As you guide theirs Prepare the doctors And the gifts they share. Thank you, Lord For hearing our prayers Please heal…

Where Have You Gone?
A breath of fresh air Spring’s honest chance… New beginnings abundant Not remembrance or stance. The eternal hope Forwards the March Making it through Passing the arch. Oh Dear Spring Where have you gone? I’m here waiting It’s not the same with you drawn.

Treasure in Skies
Richness is moments Various times and place To just experience His glory And repeated saving grace. Releasing control Or tracking fate Simply being Missing the wait. Oh the glories When you open your eyes No burden to bury The treasure in skies.

There Is…
There is time Moments Miracles There is heartache Loneliness Wrinkles There are habits Consequences Pitfalls Then some maturity Wisdom Overhauls There are memories Appreciation Love They are gifts Precious Enough

War Within
The war within Or with you A battle lost and won… Ladders and bottles Controlling pace Now over and done. Empty skies Stormy seas Argue the face of pain… Now peace by thunder Tearless eye A storm without the rain.

Mindful Snow
Shhhhh Nature quiets all sound The still is working Unrest cannot be found. A few flakes Like a sheet atop grass Relish the moment Too quickly will it pass. No driving or walking Peaceful moment tonight… A mindful moment With the heart warmed right.

The Promise
The will of the land With promise of time Briefly possible From the good and Devine. Yet torcher is chosen To sacrifice favor Steal from the enemy After friend and neighbor. Kindness wins a destiny Once promised and knew Do not lay down hands With work to toil through. Hope beyond the mind Live in…

Turn On The Light
All gloom Some anger too Doomsday written By more than a few. When outside The sun still shines Blinded people Of sarcasm and wine. Oh and the blame So easy to pass And so it swings Lost is class. The point of the finger Mirror in toe Equal in error Transgressors fail to know. Oh…

The Artist
Outside lives an artist Of work I admire Stopping tracks Beauty inspired… If time to take From daily wares Hope is watching Someone cares… Each day is available To learn beyond you Appreciate the gift Consumed by too few… Yes there is darkness After brilliant colors speak Listen to the lessons Strengthening the weak… Oh…

Eye Watching
I spy An eye in the sky Watching me Watching you As any eye Or moon Would do. I see Paths near and far Tempting you Begging me Trust more Something old Or even new. I run Toward a light beyond me Dancing space Solid place A guide A stand Steps too.

Passion
Loneliness beyond comprehension Whether here Or there… Your punishment to me For existing without purpose Or your pleasure. The hatred in your eyes And coldness in your heart Takes time Tearing me apart. I hate you Repeating this again My punishment For actions I’ll never understand. Reasons for all Even if you fail to find…

Missing Answers
How many fails Make a failure? How many wins Make a winner? How many punches Are a knockout? How many compliments Are true? My friend in misery Has many questions. Beyond the grave Bares the honest answers. So arguments keep dancing As only they have their day.

Missing Reason
Speaking has lost sound As all is deaf. The cage bares a lock With a missing door. Hope is now less As sense locks in self. The parade of monkeys march As reason lay abandoned. Inner peace fully neglected Honesty too inconvenient. Truth now a mystery And where the road leads from here.

NEWS READER
Lethargic moves The limp from one To yet another Energy from panic Sleep induced But living While dying In awareness Of nothing While believing Everything From nothing Finally delivered.

Future Temptress
It haunts me Telling jokes Playing games Little pokes Tap, tap, tap Always the same sound Opportunity knocking But can’t be found. Windows are covered The door without a knob The noise is loud Between these sobs. Temptation is lurking Don’t let it come in The temptress offers Fate stalls again
