The Last to Know
Lips are sealed- The finger in place- A secret to know… No sound to trace. Bare no repeat- As the ears are not prepared- More than one person knows… To no one else will be shared. Bliss in the ignorance Or a handicap in its need- The truth is a privilege- For people wish to…

Life Storm
So many years of accumulating strength- Until a wave a mile high prepares to land. The storm of my life waits for me- Personal destruction is near. Time to collapse in the pain- Bury my head in all I should regret. My legs will fall is fast succession With a mind preaching all trials of…

The Plan
Induce the day with caffeine Mount the start with a smile. Activate the energy with opportunity Believe you can run a mile. Success until 10 a.m. Suddenly things begin to go wrong… The smile harder to hold- The energy now far from strong. Understand where the problem began… Suddenly they are less sweet- Two kids…

Stolen Serenity
The future seemed bleak Complaisance was challenged Noise was too common Peace forgotten. Meandering through life- Conscious twists and turns Despite the bread crumbs I was lost. Reluctant to accept Or appreciate such reality- The past was just a map To peace remembered. No running water or fitted sheets Reconciled the malignant spirit… For a…

Moment Clarity
I remember the pride in his eyes The flowers meant so much to him. I suppose they should have meant more to me. Everything changed in an instant. He knew it- I knew it. Flowers of past danced in my mind- And it was almost as though he could see them too. My damage was…

Dead Alive
The heart was veiled in black lace- A clue that was missed. Life was unexposed- A thought provided by blue. Innocence is an attraction- An explanation of lost signs. Lack of oxygen changes color Something feeling trapped can do. No tool he had- Could right the past wrongs. So she weeps alone- Even with company…

Theoretical Truths
So many wars people fight daily- In which victory is not the promise. Our lives built for trial; Mortality’s consequence. People are born victims Others inherit wars of past- And the Art of Winning simply a story That cannot be written. The deck is stacked from the beginning Or we are simply a “version” of…

Dream Death
My rainbow had color And my life a chance; I never questioned the leap. I ignored the word NO- And fought for yes- Never missing a beat. But then came thought- And double questions; Leading me to this place. My dreams are lost- And the colors grey; I’ve even lost my taste. Where did I…

Morning
So tired my eyes And empty my brain From the sleepless nights I sleep. So frustrated I feel As the dread sits in From Monday’s alarm beep. So here I go And up I get To pay the bill’s need. So comes the day And ripe the hour Of confidence to heed. So goodbye the…

AGING
What did I do? I moved. What did I feel? Pain. What does this mean? Age sucks! Who is my friend? Ice. Who is my best friend? Ibuprofen. Why? My knee was mad. THE END

Freezing Fantasy
I don’t know why I did it, but the goal wasn’t to hurt anyone. It was a moment that deserved thinking beyond myself but I ignored it. I ignored everything that should have mattered. My frustration had been building for months. I was lonely, empty, and on fire with a desire to feel alive again.…

Politician definition by Merriam-Webster and ME
I found this interesting and it explains why politicians are so disappointing. Here is Webster’s definition: “A person primarily interested in political office for selfish or other narrow usually shortsighted reasons.” I think our choices look more bleak with each debate. BUT now I know politicians are just doing their job. Sad! My definition is…

Dear Life
Dear Life, I remember living so many years ago- And life was simple then. Sunny days were spent outside, And fun was what it should have been. Winter storms were a blast when over- Because forts and snowballs were fun. And when Mom called us all inside, We were sad the day was done. I…

Addicted Beggar
I am a box with secrets you couldn’t see. I am just a box and you opened me. I am a box that tried to stay closed. I am a box with benefits I have yet to show. I am a box in need of a bigger purpose. I seek to be filled so not…
