The possession of a mad man is the only terrorIt started soft and slowly
With only shallow things
An itch or twitch or swallow
But kindly not from me
The walls would twist and turn at night
And I’d be seeing things
A pillow to hold a choir within
And slowly simple things
Would do more then make me mourn myself
Do more then make me bleed
My chest was heaving rocks and smoke
Thrumming...

Quenching The Thirst For KnowledgeAs I sat thinking the other day,
A flow of thoughts brought these words to say.
Some were fleeting, some longer lasting,
Like the evening shadows the sun was casting.
Quenching my thirst for knowledge to be known,
Neither rightness nor wrongness had a need to be shown.
Titles and labels were thrown to the floor,
As aspects and insights began...

Rubber WormsTruth comes in one golden droplet
you can wait for days -weeks
or a lifetime for it to appear
in a dustbowl of faithlessness and doubt...
You wait like a blind baby bluebird
but mom only brings a rubber worm.
Eventually the sweet droplet meets
the soul's red parched beak
songs are sung in hues of golden love
everything bathed in...

The beginning or The end?
The wind stood still, the stars held breath,
Two voices rose in life and death.
One whispered start, one thundered close,
Each pulled the soul where no one knows.
Beginning sang with morning light:
"Come rise with me, embrace the fight.
Your dreams are seeds; they’ve just been sown—
Why fear the path you’ve never known?"
End replied in velvet tone:
"But peace is...

Speak To Me From LoveWhen I’m in a place of darkness and cold,
Speak to me from Love, no need to be bold.
For you’re only sharing what you’ve been told,
Allow Truth to flow through that’s good as gold.
Dear writer of poetry, release truth which can mend.
Let it flow through our land and spread like the wind.
Write from your instinct, tell...

To Know The TruthDoes life to anyone really make sense?
Or is all of mankind, really this dense?
God offers his wisdom and truth to man,
Yet it still seems we seldom understand.
Are we blinded by reason, and logic?
Surely, it’s not genes or biologic?
While meditating on things I don’t know,
It came to me; the culprit is ego.
Its goal is to always...

CAT - ASTROPHIC TRUTH
A brief but deep connection
As we lock eyes across the room
And I have a sense of pain
I feel the saddest surrender
To what life does to you
Over the incessantness of time
I watch as she so slowly settles
Muscles not so lithe in age
But wide eyes still locked with mine
Somehow it is a shared moment
Perhaps a camaraderie that...

The Harsh Reality of Truth(“Eye of God”, 2018, original encaustic mixed media)
The Harsh Reality of Truth
The harsh reality
Is people get what they deserve,
But it can be confusing
‘Cause you don’t always know
If it was for something you know you’ve done
Of something you did long ago
In a different life, body, time and place.
In the end
Sooner or later
The equation of Life
Works...

Locked down justiceNothing good ever came out of hell
we all can see the enemy works on people's fear
The fruits of disaster has been sewn into those consenting
freedom has the choice to move without restraints attached
removal of these rights has turned the system of law upside down
passing laws that amount to curfew status...

I'm Done ChasingI give you space then I notice I'm back in your face
Things are not the same and I'm the one left to chase
I realize how silly I must look when I plead and beg
There is no way to take back the words that I said
I'm not getting no where so I'm done chasing
I'm the...

A PityIt's a pity — such a pity —
That behind those eyes
Lies,
nothing but hazel pretty.
It's a shame — a great shame —
There's zilch we share In common,
Remotely similar, or the same.
It's a heartache — a real pain —
Each other's hearts,
Both lives left stained,
Losing more than we thought Possible
, and ever would've Gained.
