Just ME
I lay relaxed In an unlikely place No need to ponder Or minutes to waste. I am to be Or am the now I’m not the wonder Or even the how. I am what is Or will never be I am just like you Until I’m just me.

I Am
I am the wrong I am the right I am darkness I am light I am the moment I am the now I am the why I am the how I am what was I am what is I am the piece I am the quiz I am them I am you I am the…

We Knew
We know so much And so little too… Until we learn What we thought we knew. And then we scramble Like generations before And learn again What we chose to ignore. Sure some lessons But great moments added And a little more even Once all is subtracted. Yes we knew it all And I guess…

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…

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

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…

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.

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.
-
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…

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.

Perfectly Seen
Life in moments Seconds to reality Minutes pass Just like sanity. Right a blurry vision Wrong a current memory Forsaking what is For what was wanted. Happiness a goal Instead of being Changes happened As hands are no longer needed for time. Pausing to embrace The steps lost Forking a road On a straight path.…

Wounded Warrior
The toll takes its silence Solid base cracks Meaning spread with wind chimes A Breeze loses will. Victory chased Losses seem covered As the storm shelters pass The wounded hero.
-
Sacred Conversation
Walk the road Not for the end Find the gold Not meant to spend See the beauty Naturally given and made Take in a moment Too valuable to trade See the opportunity Beyond the trial Talk to God Enjoy the mile Breathe the life Only Heaven can give Then have the courage To get up…
-
Only a Fool
All in my head A hellish road No medicine that helps Or relief of load. Just time standing still While passing too quick… Reaching crossroads No direction to pick. Flirt with sanity Ignore the plea Control is for the fool What will be – will be.
-
Gracefully
I’ve lost my mind Or so I have been told Tends to come With getting old. But I feel alright Until my tongue gets out Then my eyes shift And I start to doubt. Oh I keep things straight Except the hairs on my head But they lay down Once I hit the bed. I’m…

Tormented
Numb Frozen Tormented Reason Lost Found Living Season Stumble Seek Footing Found Sky Limits Fall Ground.
-
Just Imagine
A gentle giant Leading the way A joy to see But destruction on the way. Imagination in play And a Transformer seen Only for moment But still a king.
-
The Joker
I walk in a dimension There are truths Dressed in stories Of the liars den. I walk carefully To not wake curiosity In me Or in anything. Whispers taunt Like wasps circle No Trust But fear. The joker laughs As the fool trips On the truth of the ledge And the romance of the fall.
-
Pain and Life
Not being needed Might be what hurts the most Value lost Or never coming close. Two steps behind Or never being right Failing the battle No matter how hard you fight. Losing yourself Or not knowing who you are Experience missing Never being a star. Letting people down While you continue your fall Not seeing…

A Little Peace
Many of Man When taking dying breath Understand the mistakes of past Time knows no mercy As the minutes dry Chances have reached their last. Clearing a life early Needless anger and pain Leaves open wounds still War of the heart Cloud of stubbornness Opportunity loses its will. No perfect players In any game No…

Muse
The muse unaware Why I write The subject suggestive With what words I type. Holding back often In the tales told No point in revealing Or assuming a hold. Letting go as needed More turning away Neglecting facts Watching what to say. But the words are read When I choose to share No reply ever…
-
Living Moment
Knowing something Anything A thing of the past Capturing a moment Now For a moment to last. Could of been Often Lasting only in thought Now forgetting Everything Is the only shot. Pain in regret Yesterday Useless to feel Learning the discipline Living Now in what’s real
-
Dear Teenager
DEAR TEENAGERSeeing the world through your eyes Would make my hope pretty dark… Accepting your reality instead Would take away the needed spark. Compromising my rules Would bring a weakness I won’t like… Quitting the battle now Would cost more than just the fight. Old while learning nothing Is an idiocy you choose to sell……
-
Letting Go
Black and white Logic a friend But just a moment Brings color again. Pain and anger Calculated space Clutching tightly So nothing is erased. Patience with time Praying for you Feeling helpless With so little to do. No way to show you Or words you will hear But patiently waiting While always staying near.
-
Clarity
20/20 vision Blind nonetheless Reasoning a fantasy The problem a guess. Left in the dark While seeing light Heavies the heart Awakens the night. Intelligence in theory Rational in dreams Certainty escaping Through foolish means. Suddenly token clarity Too many years have passed… Time the joker The mind left harassed.

Darkness challenged
The sky a masterpiece Changing faster than any person… A blank canvas- Waiting to be more. Silver linings… Each cloud has a fate To which it will tell a story No plan beyond its purpose No fighting for something more. Now to move on peacefully After narrating a story Leaving behind another canvas- That for…

Human Lesson
Importance is an illusion Often coveted by mankind… Top-down theories – Keeps reality blind. Fireworks are quiet To the sound of bubbles’ burst- And the mirror unforgiving- To fantasy’s deadly curse. Piles build mountains Luck fades away… The importance of the lesson Lost to yesterday. A helping hand is destined To follow the beggar’s need……

Betting On Time
Needing to scream And through it have a plan. Wanting to care When no longer giving a damn. Find the focus And a reward is there to get. Just be honest… And keep the face from getting wet. It needs to be okay- Because so much will hurt being wrong. As the fool bets on…

Stolen Moment
You don’t have to be my regret I don’t want to silence your voice- But the need for opportunity… To give wants a voice. No titles or lines To divert or mislead… Just the chance to explore- And hearts to feed. No love to cherish But a heart to feel- A relationship to adore- And…
