Don't Hide the Pride Inside
Dry your tears, quell your fears,
Their fears just cloud their eye!
They find no time to understand...
They won't even try!
You don't have to defend your heart,
To mend your heart!
Swell with Pride, open wide...
And give your heart a fresh start!

Emotional Buffet 2
I sat apart from life, too weary to live,
Even the breath I owed, I refused to give.
The curse of the world is rightful on me,
I thinned the trees, not the flowers to be.
In the end, the mind grows tired of love’s flame,
I made a firefly my partner in name.
Whatever the cause, it stands as a

to wend through golden grasses of my past
with chill winds at my back from o'er the hill
oh how I wish the glow of spring would last
thus far behind me stands that boy, miscast
while just a jester, much too bright and

The Vatican Library
It was the last Sunday of the month,
when Providence opened its secret door,
and my longing was granted.
I walked through marble corridors
into the heart of the Vatican Library,
where time breathes softly between the pages.
I asked for only one treasure:
the Vatican Virgil,
that ancient manuscript of immortal verse.
And when it was placed in my hands,
the air shifted—
the walls

Stormy Blues
Eyes that burrow their way into my soul.
Bringing out what I do not show or share with most.
Hearing the pain in my words before I see it myself.
Seeing the tears well up in my eyes even when I hide them.
Those eyes colored like a storm over the ocean, blue but with

Cause You're Mine
In youthful bloom, I once did shine,
A beauty radiant, a heart so divine.
My laughter echoed, my smile so bright,
A joyous spirit, a love so light.
But time and life, they took their toll,
And changes came, my form began to unfold.
The mirror reflects a different face,
A woman worn, with a weary pace.
Your words, they cut, a painful

Barely American dream
Haters always putting me down.
Look how far I've come, gotta
reason to put my hard hat down
No, I don't have an ATM ,
that spits out whenever I want.
I'm just like you.
I'm fighting for a buck.
I don't drink, at least to me, excessively.
Blow money on cars, yeah right
Only if it could get me to

Beside the river where dogs bathe
inevitably, she comes for us all
my lover— death, with her webbed fingers
her skin soft as a porcupine’s,
her quills darting into my chest
tears me apart in search of her craving
a smile as she gently ripped it out of my flesh
she held it out to the heavens and breathed out a cry of death
her teeth harder
