Almost Knowing
A shadow Where light once was A dream Even if reality. A few steps Mist in the clouds… Bluebirds fly Before the swelling sore. The break Where glue held tight Loosen grips Of the devil and angel. So wait Before the scale gives an answer And believe Once was over and never done.
-
Beginning to End
There was a heartbeat Guiding steps along linen walls Almost a guide And a fault to the end. Whispers loud Machines comforted chaos To the grasp of life And perseverance of death. Until peace became music Misery’s parade done and over For one then But never for all. And then the years Like all other…

Mind
We are born to know you Strengthen you Build you Control you. Opportunity always open Danger near Pills and chemicals to help Or consequently destroy. Chemistry often missed In the courting effort For power The architect of fantasy. Command slowly changed Despite promise Or time Forgotten rules. Yes I was to control You! But like…

Friday’s Date
Dead of night Walking through the mind Whimpering screams of children Bodies hidden to find. Calling each victim The run merely a walk Deafening is silence Only means which to talk. Rarely the day comes But maybe twice a year The spirit drives the hunted Guided through pain and fear. Friday to accomplish the week…

So Simple
Such spirit Whispering through the skies So Simple The connection between you and I So lost When I try to lead my own way Now focused In the presence to find a way More strong In an environment to make you weak Heartbroken Before the guidance we all seek. Consistent As history has always been…
-
Silence Sake
Midnight steps Silent for the sleeping Loud for woken ears Mindful minutes. Moments alone Not for loneliness But for space Needless to move But to feel Something beyond myself For the sake of living Before the day.
-
Being FABULOUS
I was born a mess Kind of a klutz A little beyond simple… Feeling Fabulous. Lacked box to fill As I go punching holes Challenging my purpose Defining a role. Grasping for understanding How peculiar am I Searing the normal Trials to try. I am just me Neither wrong or right Just what is Strength…
-
Forsaken Karma
The wrath Thin and draped Cancer of the mind Orchestrated by the heart- Forsaken love and understanding. Mistakes could find forgiveness Despite convoluted affairs Now suffering Drenched like a veil Not for hiding or deceiving But a reminder of once upon a time. No devil here As red was already taken To warn elegance Before…
-
Falling Life
I fall By example and command Stilling the hearts Quieting of hands… To play a part Like a cactus in the clay Holding a purpose Proving a way. Blossom tops Gone for the moment Heroes once Now prose in a poet. Again to know Forever will falter Like the height in a child Value in…
-
Morning Elixir
A drink for life A cup of daily thoughts Motivation dances Lessons are taught. No poison here As the emblem suggests Just caffeine and peace Spared moments I get. Slip slowly and purposefully Allow cells to dance And if you interrupt this time RUN! While you have barely a chance.
-
Haunting
For there are times The brain falters Wisdom is lost Even when working. In Satan’s massacre Or muted cells … Angels missing Hallows lurking Oh the truth will out I suppose – Even in the haunting where it dwells.
-
Nature’s America
Storms rage Is it Heaven or Hell? Satan’s game Or warming tell? We fight to know And believe in kind Like so many others Who wish to rewind. The answers are hidden In Present’s past We can pretend for now But nothing lasts. Heed the warnings Spare the truth Protect what’s important Future fruits. For…
-
My Only Forever
I am lucky Not for now or never But for here and now My only forever. I could dread the trials Or the following day But I’d miss it all Living that way. I must see the sun And love the stars Appreciate the moment Of where we are. Not fear the future By what…
-
Vice
Soft scratches alert To hear you That you are there Until you aren’t And I wait As any caged prey would do For a return Or consequence Of proportions beyond me Or anything Even the moth runs from the flame While perched on the door Waiting for eternity Or just the day.
-
Truth In Shadows
Captured focus Rainless rainbow circles Armored by clouds Earth’s moon tangles a sun. To wonder now Like children in a field Nature dances in shadows Minds rejoice precious minutes. Beginning with the end Mesmerized by prediction Value of a quiet victory Consecrated by time.
-
Watched
Ever feel like you are being watched? Something knowing all you do? Suddenly relief knowing It was someone as precious as you!
-
Masquerade
One after another Eyes watch the run Making clowns innocent Of dying virtuous fun. Paradise in the chase Laughing fools Complicated in theory Simple hidden rules. Another step forward Four behind Missing is everything No way to rewind. Laughter shaking the earth Looks seemingly shy Theory for all Without intention or why. Marching band plays…

Illusion’s Candor
Sounds of sandpaper rubbing- Walking through drying fields Drops escaping the puddle As toes remember their feel. Noises promise company- Loneliness weighs on shoulders . . . Walking up high for peace- Leaves the body feeling colder. Pieces fit into the puzzle- Broken as eggshells on the floor . . . Knowing something is different…
-
State of Time
Pleasant sounds now have ominous tones Begging for the worst Painting the best. The artist is unknown While work is displayed Manipulated understanding. Young are born Old still age Brevity highlighting it all. Muscles ache While wasting away So is the state of time.
-
Heartbreak
I was everything Then nothing All at once. I was wanted And rejected Within a matter of months. I was over Once started Wet forced dry… You came Then you left A relationship high. Without light No home Lost a path to take. The moon A savior Guiding heart to break.
-
Free for Life
Living a life Locked in a cage Materials and money Built and made. Oblivious to you And even to me Forgetting to stop Or appreciate the trees. Time was gone Before my past Escaped the cage Free at last. The dollars were gone Back was a sense Fights forgotten With needed defense. Nature caught me…
-
Endless
A depth without knowledge Strength without muscle Stopping all Pushing everything. Consequence silenced Gains imagined Built and structured Without conscience plan. Believed reality While imaginary Structured always Architect of the mind.

Daily Lesson
Quiet the heart Wake up the mind Find the balance In this day to unwind. Peaceful steps Down a winding road Lifting weights Of a heavy load. Laugh at irony As the feet trip Hold the tongue Watch the lips. Now to rest From where you’ve been Until the sun rise To try again.
-
With Care
There were words On the tips of tongues And then silence Before heartbreak begun. No intention Or dreadful deed Just ignored No matter volume of pleads. To forgive When no hurt meant Is still difficult With feelings bent. Loneliness is often When it should only be rare And most often given From the people who…

Your Best
ROY G BIV Is the rainbow The sun Makes each shadow A heart break Reveals some pain The peace of nature Makes you sane Unexpected loss Leads to unexpected leads The anger of another Born by ignored pleads Revenge an appetizer Best served cold Discipline is wasted If not learned till old. This moment now…
-
Time Fallacy
There they stand Thinking of all the time ahead Racing to grow up Ignoring lines they tread. Enjoy being a kid! Sentiment each parent sells The dream that is always preached Too often doesn’t turn out well. Waiting to take responsibility And rescued in their youth Then shock from friends and strangers When time reveals…
-
Casting Care
Life is a circus With scary clowns And many miracles Up lifting downs. Humans are a gift To an old curse And the knowledge Preached in verse. Self is imaginary Vision is real The heart holds wisdom Brain learns to feel. Life is a trial Death is the reward Facts build fiction To love’s double…
-
Open Heart
A mess on the path Mine to clean Scrub and sweep Are my means Every move Countless minutes More shambles No way to clean it On my knees Scream and cry No progress for work Or understanding why. Seeking answers With praying demands To which He answered You must clean your hands. With palms and…

I’ll Take
I’ll take a touch Look Or breath…. I’ll take an hour Panting Sweat…. I’ll take an embrace A minute Or two…. I’ll take them all If the moment Is with you.

Talking Breeze
The dream lives in darkness Producing light Fractured lens Feeling right. Resurrection captured Death was lost Bravery Little cost. The battle rages on Inside hurts Outside pushes Bloodied shirt. In the distance Understanding The reward Careful planning. Stolen moment praises Bending knees Whispered answers Talking breeze.
