Too Long
In a minute guessedIs also wornOften wastedLike the norm… While feathers tossSmiles only grinTo admit a knowledgeTruth the sin… An hour nowAs seconds gainLike the wormIn sunburned shame… Accept the lossLike the hour beforeIgnore the knockAnd close the door… And just like thatA year is goneHope is walkingAfter waiting too long.

Believe
I see the story And know the trends What is worshipped And has no end. And there is now Like the ocean floor What you thought And where you soar… And like a partner Not just a friend- And the beginning With no real end… I’ll be there And beyond that too- For it’s simply…

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.

Power
I am merely a whisper Within the scream A hopeful wonder… Or pleasant dream. I am the thought Within the action… Hearing the voice When losing traction. I am the love Inside the hate. . . Or the narrator Within your fate. I am the control In letting go… Building assumptions Inside the know. I…

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…

Enigmatic
Someone unknown While having a name . . . Walking the mile Assigning guilt and shame. Performing a role Without knowing how it’s done – Challenging the winner Before the game is won.

Dear John
Dear John If that was your name… A burning desire… Will never be the same. No hiding the truth Or manipulating lies… Just the need to grieve From deep in my thighs. In-love with the memory- Burned by reality- And for a moment no hope- For something to save me. I was good at…

Office Visit
Wanting it here While begging you gone… Seeking the illusion of forever- Absence felt by dawn. Scattered memories fight Where sanity once lived- Becoming only a skeleton… What more is there to give? Chaos strives within Silence a coveted fantasy… Anxiety the common feeling- A future lacking any strategy. Left only to come to an…

Fading Sanity
A faded memory now As she lives in my dreams But she is still alive and well And even had a night saving me. An angelic form she has Where the promising spirit lives Filled with hope and love More life to me she had to give. Alone in the gutter Where all my promise…

The Messenger
Messenger of the unknown- Because it is known- Just not by our time or place. Seen and heard- By the blind and deaf- Moments to embrace. A solid purpose defined- Rules not to be broken… To all the living things. Both light and dark- Beautiful and plain- Sights with or without wings. Stories told and…
