The Decline of HumanitySee the world around yourself,
See the people around you—
The scary face of people,
The crying face of children.
They are scared, lonely, and sad.
They fear the world.
See the fearless around the world.
The mothers are crying with children in their hands,
Praying for their children’s life,
While others are praying for their children’s future
To be bright.
People say, “This is the...

I Love You AnywayI held on all that time, believing your lie,
Thinking you were using me deep down inside,
When I questioned things you reassured me and made me believe,
That this whole time you were in love with me,
Just one question after I sacrificed my whole life,
And the response was I don't know if I want to be with...

the possession of a vesselthe possession of a vessel
a cradle call
a steady fall
a empty cost
and all's lost
a candle care
a random share
a fullness last
and all's cast
a constant claim
a longing name
a least of more
and all's before
a costly care
a vessel rare
an emptied full
and all's pull

TchotchkeSpring cleaning comes and I seek to expunge from every counter and corner
All clutter and dried rose that serves no purpose
Knickknacks and little trinkets all go in the basket.
To be given to those who have lesser or resold or simple lost forever
There it sits on the mantle, an object grotesquely elephantine
Rounded edges so it fits...

To Ponder or Not to PonderTo ponder or not to ponder - that is the question.
Is it a waste of my precious seconds, minutes, hours
To dwell on the questions that plague my mind?
I spend my waking and waning hours mulling and considering,
Crashing waves of question marks and possibilities
Dance around in my mind's eye, quelling the beast of sleep.
A skeptical girl's...

Beyond Words
In the unspoken stanzas of glance,
A language of love is skillfully enhanced.
Flushed cheeks , shy eyes ,
Glimmering like starry night skies.
The melody of footsteps, a syncronized pace,
A duet of devotion in every gaze.
Fingers touch, cheeks glow red,
Whispered secrets in the heart's closest thread.
The eyes deep dialect, a secret code,
Conveys the heart's deepest abode.
The soft curves...

Sit For A SpellWhen I'm with you on the phone
I finally feel I'm not alone
If you could ever sit with me
I'd take that opportunity
To tell you all about my life
So that if you became my wife
You'd know me, nothing I would hide
We'd take our days and wèeks in stride
And as the years stretched very long...

Fun FunIn the thoughts I have of us
We sure have lots of fun
Thoughts of us together
Thoughts of us as one
And in my wildest dreams, I've had
Big ones where snowstorms reigned,
Hot ones where fireplaces roared
And we added to the flames
But take away the snowstorms
Take away the flames
Take away what passion comes
When calling out our names
And what's left...

IN THE AWARENESS OF WOMEN OF THE WORLDIN AWARENESS OF THE WOMEN OF THE WORLD
God’s human-like doves,
Are colored and colorless:
His gift of women:
With Mary, mother of Jesus,
God sanctified womanhood,
Glorifying all women with amazing
Grace and divine supreme love;
Thus, as with our people’s...

The Bell Tower That Leaned InI. The Pastor’s Hand
At dawn’s brittle cusp—
he climbs, each step
a nail in time’s coffin
breath ragged
a Psalm torn mid-hymn.
The rope tastes of incense and myrrh—
Liberty’s fracture
braided through its fibers
a wound
that never quite...

BAEBeyond the place where my mind finds comfort
All encompassing what life was meant to be or put effort
Else why would I ever want to care?
Beyond my selfishness if you weren't there.
All I know is that safety was my first clue
Expectations became trivial once I knew
Beyond your horizon where it starts
All the waking...

Tell MeTell me you want me
Tell me you need me
Tell me I’m beautiful
But don’t go away
Stay!
Say I love you
Say anything…
Say I’m worthy of your love
Say you support me!
But please don’t ignore me
Don’t leave me on read
Don’t diminish my light
Don’t fight against what’s right
Believe in us!
Believe in your success!
Believe we will prevail...

ROLLIN WILLIEOn the move
Trucker’s style
Every highway mile
Off ramp routes
Through the night and next day
Destination to destination arrive
Sometimes clear skies
Storms in otherwise
Trucker’s highway friends
Flashing of headlights and horns blowing
Around highway bends and mountain highs and lows
Views below
Town citizen waves
Eyes on the road and behave
Truck stops
Restaurant eats
Country songs
Accelerating as I move along
Trucker’s wheels
Turning Turning Turning
Truckers Horn music
An orchestra...

RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN-RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN-
Right before the Dawn
We arrived awaken
In consciousness
Something from our slumber
Just before the dawn
We would walk hand in hand
Arm to arm praising in
God, Hallelujah
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond, the stars
The stars
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond the stars, the stars
