Take my letter to her, O Messenger!
Yes, totally washed are its words and phrases 
A deed of my flooding eyes I couldn’t deter
The tornado of tears accumulated for ages

The storm of anguish concealed in heart
Washed all urges of soul that flowed from pen
The torrents rumbling...

Selfish pride and bitter feelings,
Tangled up in Satan’s dealings!

Alienation is just simply ruthless,
And will make one feel utterly useless.

When the vulnerable are left alone,
Their grief and anguish will cause them to moan!

Darkness becomes the abandon’s ark;
Fear and torment begins to embark!

The heart that lies within...

Written for my heart, my son, Kyle


Wash me gentle in the river –
	Ease me on down with care.
I’m an emotional giver –
	It’s my song in the air.
Dry me smooth upon shore’s sliver -
	Warm away my despair.

Constant tears are in my eyes,
But I’ll deny that I...

Eyes of Anguish

His eyes are the same steely gray
as the gathering storm clouds.
As he turns toward the distant hills
his stare becomes vacant and haunted.
He sees through visions or memories,
of another day, another life, long ago.

There were many lines upon his aged face.
They've been drawn with...

Sleep eludes me as I fidget in bed upon wrinkled sheets 
annoyed with the pensive fixation roving inside my head
I hear his offensive words as they echo in my heartbeats
Spontaneous fraying of nerves, an unraveling of thread

Somehow, I had to navigate through this turbulent water
and...

Dragon Anguish

Adam clenched his fists attempting to block his senses
from the growing growls that hammered against his rib cage.
The thousands of millenniums he had lived barricading his heart
from all worldly emotions.

Adam looked up at the daunting sky to flaunting dark clouds
creep overhead. He breathed in...

A very human touch to a story
with some zip to it.
The media is a heartless leach
to the many unfortunate souls suffering,
amongst the filth and chaos of a city in peril.
War has reduced entire cities to rubble,
people are forced to flee for their lives
and yet, the...

I'm feeling bad in an incredibly fixable way
All I need is human connection
But it's a kind of selfish pain, nothing wrong

We could all walk round fixing pains like this for others too embarrassed and ashamed to share they are feeling sad

I'm not saying a word...

We arrived with expectations of triumph
There were agonies, desperations and tears
Coloring the hills with melancholy shades
Erasing the imaginings of soldier’s anguish
Embracing loss from the heights of passion
Where worries win and misery invites pain
To grasp the soul with a sense of forbode
Whispering despair through breaths of...

Are life’s griefs to stay like set cement?
Or drift away, like any passing day?
How can I be sure how much to endure?
Before I let it go, and let the future flow?

With a silent moment’s thought of things taught
A calming peace is caught, only if it’s...

She hides her pain
In the shadows, warring
Filled with hope, grace
Her heart will keep praising
Life gives her trouble
Compassion silences her
Worry and fear with kindness
She is weary and frail
Yet she prays for others
Gives from her treasure chest
Of love, hope and faith
She glorifies the Savior
She is simply amazing

Cancer...
