Premium Member A Joyless Job
At the window, palms under my chin,
such beauty I see, out the frosted pane,
I was mesmerized, it showed in my grin,
so picture perfect, the snow covered lane.

My daydream was dashed, Mom called from the door,
"time to brave the cold and clear the sidewalk,"
grabbed my winter...

Valentines Day Is Everyday
Her cognition is sporadic
Longing for her to relax
And display calm tactics
Lay on my chest like it’s a hammock
When she isn't calm
I can't stand it
Cause behaviors like these in women
Can easily become habits
It won't happen to my woman
She's in love
That's it
She can sit in the couch
Or...

Whittling
Souls standing in line
As the world pulls out its knife
To whittle them down 
Carve up their lives

Does it have an idea
An insatiable need
As it keeps whittling
On them endlessly

You do have to wonder
What it truly sees
As it carves on you
And whittles on me

Like an old mountain...

It's You

That I'm talking to!

With your porkpie hat,

Stompin up the streets as a matter of fact

looking pretty mean
starting up fights til...

Old Wise-Tales
Somedays I think back to my 
Grandmother, my mother,
My daddy and all the things 
I so many times heard them say.

I can recall them as tho I heard them
Again on yestersday.
They were always telling us children
Things to do to help us become
Matured adults.

They tried to...

~The wave breaks
gently, caressing
over and over
it strokes
the rocky shore.
The shore
trembles
wet
ready
silvery
but mute.
The storm
glowers
angering the sea:
back-talk
leads to back
hands,
and the shore
maudlin
retreats.~

Large ~
boulders
break with the tides
of time, to slivered
shards all glistening wet.
golden in a new dawn
once whole now
 broken by the tide
still there's
beauty,
yet.~

Monorhyme On Egoistic Head
The world is full of fools’ theory
Listening to them I feel weary.
Such egoistic heads tell not to worry
And at our back talk oscillatory
Bad about us, creating a crematory
Where they bury their own glory.
They have a bad attitude of sanatory
Coward, showy, deceitful, predatory.

The world is full...

I Need Quiet
Quiet! Everything around is too loud
I can’t stand to be in this crowd
Their voices go silent but I can still see their mouths moving
They’re giggling, obviously find something amusing

Are they laughing at me? Why? What are they saying?
I can feel my body swaying
I need to...

Baby Boi
You shouldn't waste your time
Waiting foryour child to grow
Cherish the time you have with themnow
For tomorrow will become yesterday
And yesterday will become a month
A month will become a year
A year, a lifetime ago...
Before you know it
He'll be talking, then walking
Going to school, playing sports
Driving, dating...
