Hourglass
Am I angry?Sure!Every thankless roadNo matter the fork-Or knife! Still the houseWithout a lakeA bountyOf giveAnd take… And lifeContinues no matterWhat miseryOr happinessThe loss! The picture…It’s bigger!Then rulers and dollars…Or boxes-Of course. So I bendWe passTo a timeAnd directionIn a glass.

The Hunt
Lost wordsLost thoughtsLosing timeIs what I’ve got. Aimless wonderingFoolish speakCosting us allMaking you weak.

You Know!
They don’t know who I amYet something to be…If I’m something to fear-Maybe just what you see… I’m not a lambAnd far from a devilBut I’ll challenge you!To meet your level There is a huntBut it’s inside the soulPaying a priceWhile saving a toll… And as you huffI’ll blowBecause everything you missedWas all that I…

To Know
Someone you know-AND used to know-Is a complicated mess..You wait for timeAnd common senseTo get you through “this”… It always hurtsBut tears are dryAs days and months pass…Yet it wasn’t meWho asked for thisOr the one who made it last. In body you are aliveAnd wellAnd that is all I know…Still when you leftHe was…

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…

Missing Y
The explanation was missingBut when is it not?Seeking that guidanceOr the why…Being lost requires a plan.It has to!Knowing where you are going-Until something changes everything…Now direction is the myth.The sound of each stepYou remember it well.Yes, the quickened heart beatBrings panic in the dark….All from needing more?!!!Not different!But the reason disappeared…Words made lips moveSo lost…

Need
I found a shoelaceMissing a purpose-And a mouseWho didn’t respond to cheese-Thus explaining a clockWhose minutes have no need.

Song Bird
To the song bird who singsNot for perfection or mutterings…Spreading love and so much moreLife, if noticed, is adored-A Presence so pure in devotionLeft for my heart and ear consumption…Thank you for teaching beyond your wingsThe appreciation for simpler things-For without reminders during strifeMore of us would lose in life…So I look as you lead…

Awaken
Become the compass

Forgiveness
Pebbles and rocks Rivers and sand People and places Fantasy be damned… And over the edge Where fantasies live No hunger or suffering Just something to give…. And numb as it was Alive was inside Not for what was lost- But for what finally had died.

Days and Time
Oh time you stump me-

The List
Oh how you grow And taunt me to fail… Oh how you stop In forgotten detail… Oh how you try To not let me forget… Oh how I wish Success I would get… Oh how I wait To remember you exist… Oh how the goals Just stay on the list.

And Again
The storm taxed the land And people within Even while some We’re simply living again. Hail destroyed objects And spider webs too… Quickly it passed Once damage was through. But night does clear A path we can walk Careful the wolves As they begin their walk. Devils and demons Talk over Angel’s say… Hear their…

Who What Where
What did I have? Where did it go?

Future Temptress
It haunts me Telling jokes Playing games Little pokes Tap, tap, tap Always the same sound Opportunity knocking But can’t be found. Windows are covered The door without a knob The noise is loud Between these sobs. Temptation is lurking Don’t let it come in The temptress offers Fate stalls again

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.

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…

Keeping Youth
Walk into walls To see if they fit Finger in socket Until the shocks quit. Ring around the Rosie Truck bed rides Drinking from a hose God is the guide. Eat off the floor Before the final second ends Remember it all Even when time isn’t a friend.

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…

Waste
Anger Is no logic or reason. Love Is no logic or reason. Both Cause insanity BUT Only one wastes time. Why? Anger has a passion time can’t control. Which- Will you choose to waste?

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…

Nothing
No hateful looks Or apologetic words. No example of happiness Or sign of hurt No acknowledgement of me Or demanding of you- No end to the end Or beginning of new. No rewind to push- Or forward to leap. No touch of a hand Or grace of cheek. No future to build Or past to…
