Wasted
I was once less goodWhen my vision was clearI did less listeningWhen I could perfectly hear…Selfishness was abundantLike years when you are five-But it’s when I changed,Emptiness would thrive…I keep taking stepsOn this wiser road-And while I’ve learned muchThe heavier is the load.I can’t help but wonderWhy I continue to stay,When the path is so…

Control
I’m aboutAll you need right nowMaking you waitUntil you find the how- And then I jump inTo give what you need-Direct the puppetsUntil they eat the seeds… Every time you meltRight into the plan-Creating more distanceBecause you needed a man… I becameThe story to writeUntil there was nothingIn you to fight… Now the fiddlesRemember the…

Fate
I see you therePredator on the prowl-Disguising the beastAnnunciating your fouls… The preyUnaware to runStays in the roleBlinded by the son… And the secondsRun like yearsBefore any laughterBut long after the tears… Until suddenlyThe predator becomes the bait-Lying stillOf self-inflicted fate.

Let the Real-World In
I recently responded to a tweet by Scott Morefield. Before responding to the tweet, I had never heard of Scott before, but for some reason his tweet made me respond about information I had regarding a COVID outbreak in a workplace. While his tweet had a political motivation to it- (and politics is something I…

In the way
It’s like dustAnd our age,The sour smellBut benefits of sage…Or the healingWithin the spring-To only breakWith winter’s swing…It’s like the rageOf a perfect stormWhipping the pageAnd breaking the norm…It’s like marriageStrong and true-Only to breakBefore you knew…It’s like the screamAfter the cry-No matter the effort,Ours are or my…And it’s utteringYour greatest fearYes a laughBefore truth…

Tired
I am so tired of feeling hated.I am tired of my emotions being traded. I’m so tired of bending and learning while others remain deaf and dumb.I am tired of loving only for every inch of you to be numb. I am tired of a life with all of this waste.I am tired of everything…

Once Was
Silence is deafeningWhen it’s only at the end-For its the companion of lonelyOr a loss to pretend… The frost at the doorKnocks life once there-Leaves were in the treesAnd fights were fair… There was crazyWith a beautiful twist-It wasn’t in memoriesBut the life we lived… There is a lossOn the inside of this-Just like deathOnce…

Finding Focus
A time cameBefore it passedOf what beganUntil the last- And through the fightsAnd even yearsLaid the feelingsBuilt with tears- No more the rightOr even wrongBuilt the curvesTo a road so long- But a weakened soulHurts the pathTo what is hereOr what was had. So the mapLacking compassFinds an answerAfter finding focus.

All or Once
The path taken year after year Changes as it should- Lest steps seem only foreign Forgotten is something good… Sow a lavender bush perhaps Bring calm back in place- Until serenity falls in grievance Drained by ache and waste… Deaf ears lead blind eyes Bounded by an induced agony- Losing all or once A consequence…

Treat
Meeting the dare Such a new treat Something so salty Now becomes sweet.. And when the roof breaks Beyond repair No construction to salvage Or truth that’s fair… Just what is And what used to be Like the apple Fallen from the tree.

In Vain
Land mines disguised as flowers Lightning in the rainbow Salt in the rain… Worms in the sand Life in the rocks Smiles in all the pain… And stories told For one more night Before the truth appears in vain.

Again
Blood boils so quick anymore…. Always a joke- Can nothing be serious? Or even answered? Taking care is for granted- Maybe that’s why I stopped for so long? Clearly not long enough- Like time ever would be…. Pain is numbing Until it hurts- Or you stop. Does it stop? Or do you just go- I…

Ladies!-!
Talk me up Give me life Dull the blade Mend the strife.. Heal the burn Calm the rage Be the water- And clench the blaze… Be a rock Not the thorn Be the calm- Inside the storm… Feel the love Block the hate Be a partner- It’s not too late!

Consequence
Oh to have dreamt of death Or freedom In this world’s surround… And then contemplated tools Or in and out Nothing formidable was found… Yet still the thoughts Or thrills Reflecting only what was done… And while tortuous Or deserving Lest the consequence not be fun.

Void
Ideas were so much bigger before- Along with wants after needs… Possibilities were endless Along with you and me.

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.

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.

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…
