Breathing silent hope through pain
Breathing silent hope through pain and its fears
Reaching past the sorrow to face the night
Learning to let go of hurt that haunts years
Lifting up one who’s down so they can fight
Life’s struggles sometimes overwhelm the...

A Masterpiece
A masterpiece,
What is that?
Who decides
What is an
Amazing work
Of art that
Is above all
The rest?
Who is the
Judge that
Decided whether
One painting
Or story is
A genuine piece
Of shining gold?
What is there
To the process
Of deciding on
What makes a
Piece of art
So good;...

Negativity
I don’t feel
That I am
Good enough;
I don’t feel
That I ever
Can be,
That I’ll
Always be
This ball
Of negativity,
That it is
All i will
Attract and
All I will
Ever get
I hate that
I feel this
Way and it
Just feeds
It even more
It makes me
Feel that...

A broken homeStolen play and poetry
A swollen face, abused and beat
No food to eat. No table neat
No place to be. No one to meet
No place of love nor friend to see
A child lost in poverty.
The ills...

Windmills of MindBlades blow left then over again
turning, spinning in the breezy wind
a little to the demo of autocratic powered right
only static glitches in the republic cutting of the middlemen;

Ever search for something interesting on TV
You finally give up and go back to your PC

UntitledThe computer gives me education and a bistoury salute —
A brain between forceps, condition acute.
How I would sidle a hand through the ink-bleeding screen,
Crush my automaton heart in a fistful of glee;
For a flickering vigil...

I Hate Wind
I hate wind,
It just gets
In the way
It’s an inconvenience
And it gets
On my nerves
It takes away
Perfectly made things
And ruins them
In some sort
Of way, and
It misplaces things
That people might
Need to keep
It messes up
My whole day
When there is
A...

Try
Standing around
Waiting
Hoping it will come
But things are never easy
Or ever really go your way
Sitting, laying down
Nothing will change
The eventuality of it
That it will never arrive,
That you are stuck in limbo
Waiting for the bottle in the...

Fragmented VerseMy fragmented verse
hardly terse,
blatant and unrehearsed -
little snippets uncaged
inked upon the written page
random thoughts, abbreviated rage;
just like the evening news
death, disaster, scandals untrue and true
for the...

Letting Go
I lived there, listening
In the turmoil of the trailer park
For many years, through tears
Time passed by as I watched people
Move in and out, in and out
Never staying there for too long
I wonder where they’ve...
