Kidney Stone

I’ve got a kidney stone
Trying not to moan
It hurts me deep
Trying not to weep
Sweep away the pain
Down the bathtub drain

A Winner's Attitude

In a moment of clarity
All fears are swept away
For I can see myself now and in the future
Standing on that box
Holding a trophy in my hand
With a broad smile on my face
I am a winner, a champion, life’s lessons are my friend

Good night dream cake…a taste of you is all I crave
Stave off this want and find your way to my lips
Sweet dream cake

Through Lack...He Finds

Lacking inspiration he presses on the keys
Fluid in motion, forward he proceeds
To continue to write about his thoughts for the moment
Knowing they will change for he knows his mind
Never constant but continuing to unwind
Like a see saw ride going up and down
Fluid in motion, up and down and not around
A constant state he seeks and he has expressed this before
In his poem “Equilibrium” about a sense of balance
His hand aches from the typing and he rests for a second
Finding himself once more his thoughts stream out
Like the wireless network on his lap top before him
His mind is a processor of enormous speed
Sometimes too much quickness is not good in itself
For thoughts come and go and he tries to capture them all
Expressing in free verse he remembers a time
Driving and thinking about the concept of fear
A quote came to him
“Do not give power to fear; sometimes it is wise not to listen to that inner voice”
He is again poised to achieve
Assure of himself, he writes in the third person, he will get that job
And all will be well
He is confident of this for someone high above is looking after him
Through his angels on this planet we call Earth

The Crab

Take some time to reflect on the things you love and enjoy
A heartfelt wish will come true believe in yourself and achieve
Set yourself a goal and proceed to succeed
At the apex of your struggles you will see a light
To delight in a broken heart is unfair
Repair is a must, you must trust the protective arm of love and hope
You must change to break the pattern of confusion
To do this you must search your innerself
Peace and harmony will come in time
Unhappy and mad is the crab with his lot in life
To succeed what must he do?

Is It Too Much To Ask?

Whatever shall become of the man in green
Filled with envy he is blinded by greed
To do well in life is his ultimate plan
Is this too much to ask for an average man?

Michelle

Girl you are so fine
Most of the time happy, rarely narky or with a bark
You are definitely a diamond in the rough
And deep down you are iron tough
A spark of light
You shine into my heart

The Key

Balance in mind, body and spirit equals moderation in all things, the 
outcome...stability. This is the key.

Equilibrium

I’m not the man I once was but yet I am
A clean slate, a new page, a fresh beginning
Anger, frustration, guilt and doubt have been replaced
With the comfort of love

Me

If there ever was a time to be
Now it is for me
And if there ever were a time to shy away
I’ll welcome that day
But for now I’m content
With what God has given me
And the path I am on is one that I trust
For I must
Believe I am on track to forget my past
And move forward with fearlessness
Into a future that will hopefully see
Me in an office sipping away on my coffee
Not afraid of being me
