Said
The open ends of time well spent, while drifting between the light that’s sent. Finding ways, not always right. But nearing that which I see in sight. Past neverendings and new beginnings, till beginnings become an ending. And finally that … Continue reading

Teardrop
I wipe emotion from my eyes. And watch it dry inside. A teardrop never lies. As it slowly melts and dies. There’s a tremble in disguise. And slowly I surmise. That love never really sighs. It just blossoms in the … Continue reading
Where does Poetry go…
Where does poetry go when it dies within my mind? It is quickly replaced with the pain from its loss. I do not mourn the coming of the sun, I only wish the failing night did not steal away my … Continue reading

Silent Night
Silent night… come still this voice. Let my cares burn before me in a flare of emotion so bright it causes their eyes to turn away. And as the night creeps in I will steal away, to seek the end … Continue reading
Heartbeat
Do we count the heartbeats to understand your worth? And weigh your soul against the dead. You are lifted as a banner and paraded around for a cause, but all you wish to do is truly live. We cry real … Continue reading
Start, Stop, Pause, Repeat – Death
They say that you are more likely to get in an auto accident within ten minutes of your home due to complacency. The most dangerous place in America is the four-way stop. It is the only time you can observe … Continue reading

Random Thoughts
Writing, at least lately, has become a habit of typing my thoughts. While this is not in reality a “bad” thing, for it provides entertainment and moments of thought (hopefully) for my readers… still sometimes I catch myself pondering “the … Continue reading
Midnight Rain
Raindrops falling from above, give their souls up with a splash upon my windowpane. Selling their lives for my visual appetite, how selfish am I? And still the angels weep for joy and sorrow and cause the sparkling showers that come … Continue reading
Walking Reflections
Walking reflections they share my past. Like simultaneous televisions, they portray the steps that lead to the next one yet to be taken. I cut the blindfold from my face with the dagger of despair and accept what I may … Continue reading
The Jester
He hides his pain behind a permanent smile. Making other people laugh, while feeling no joy. A beautiful painting of conflicting emotion. Suspended in ultimate devotion. To the task of making other humans laugh. A slave, a servant, is there … Continue reading
Melting Dreams
Melting dreams they drip from above. Tumbling down filled with love. Love and hope that will never see the light. Try and try as we might. I would not say I am an example to follow. To perhaps read in … Continue reading

Seaside, Florida
The date is set and already my mind travels to your shores. I smell the salt in the air and hear the waves in the distant. This small town has become our hideaway from the world. Here we forget societal … Continue reading
There is a hole in my pocket
There is a hole in my pocket. I dare not place anything of value within it. I wonder now what may have been already lost. Have I been giving to the world blindly and do inadvertent gifts of charity count … Continue reading
Abandoned Warrior
You kneel there facing the sun. Contemplating a lifetime in a moment as you gaze at the light for the last time. The sun seems to strive at forcing away the quickly tumbling curtain upon reality before your eyes. It … Continue reading

What a Disappointment You were
What a disappointment you were. I got dressed and drove in the middle of the night for you. You lured me in with your false promises of succulent satisfaction. Whisper not in my ear anymore of delicious aromas that we … Continue reading
Personal
I close my eyes and the pain stops. For without reality there is no now and I am able to hover within a second… for a second. I sense every nerve in my body. They stand at attention and await … Continue reading

Killing Earth
I think it is sad that people, even scientist, still think it is possible that the world is too large for humans to destroy. We ARE destroying it; the evidence is there to see. The problem, as I see it, … Continue reading
A Memory
I have a memory in my hand.Hurriedly I plant it in the land. I water it daily with my tears.I shelter it from all my many fears. Gradually it grows strong and tall.Proudly on display for all. Sadly, I do … Continue reading

The Photo
It was at the bottom of the box. And yet it felt as if it was placed there, not left. A hidden memory, waiting to become a new memory. It is a treasure more valuable than gold. It is faded, … Continue reading

The Drunken Ballad
Note: Inspiration plus several shots of Stranahan’s Whiskey. He sat on his stool with his lute and his cap. With a swig of his whiskey and a flourish of his hat. He sang a sad tale of tragic heroes gone … Continue reading
Morning Dew
Morning light sparkles, diamonds in the rough be found. Morning dew trembles on unremarkable mound. A worker sits, his night shift done. Now it is off to the morning fun. But first he sits and drinks his morning dew. Letting his … Continue reading
Winter’s Night
“Crack,” the branches make a snapping sound in the night. “Meow,” the cat scurries across in fright. Pain, somewhere pain is being born. Despair, somewhere a dream is being torn. Laughter, breaks the darkness of the sky. Crying, both for … Continue reading
Clearly I See
Crisp, the morning air almost hurts for me to breath. I blow fog with each breath I take. It is cold, cold and wet; I feel the damp grass slowly soaking my wool jacket. Above a bird of some type … Continue reading
Tired
Lucid dream, lucid dream, do I wake. Fleeting dreams depart like waves from yonder lake. And yet still do I breath sleep’s fresh kiss. Now in stark reality do I surely miss. What will it take to dream again. This … Continue reading
