The Dues I Pay

There are so many hues in the colour gray.
That colour fills – are dues I must pay
for how I have lived – my used up day
upon this plane – a misty cover to stay
mist filled eyes projecting a desire to say,
“ I...

Shards of glass cover the floor, 
all bloodied and disarrayed,
The night of terror exposed to us all, 
the town came out and prayed.
For the ten were gone, yet none be found,
people were completely dismayed.

On a night in October, the last abduction took place,
and people started...

An Older Woman Pays Her Dues
The truculent night opened its ears and eyes
to acknowledge the fervor of the melee raging in her brain

She woke up with ringing in her ears
was it tinnitus or a heart attack?

She didn’t know, 
but it worried her

Living day after day with a paraplegic
for ten long...

Paid My Dues
I should relax,
Instead, I'm stressed.
  I got the blues,
I'm depressed.

  It is like there are 
Chains on me.
  The lessons of life
Don't come free.

  I find it hard to believe
The things I'm seeing.
  I've lost hope,
Need to start believing.

Paying My Dues, .
To be locked away in prison, was such a scarey thought,
I've now been punished and accepted, it was all my own fault!
I had spent the last year, in a shadow of my past,
in denial of my loss, in hope our love would always last.
I abused...

Paying Your Dues
When the doors
shut what will
you do?
Knock them down
to see the new you.
As many will wait
so shall you.
The question is though...
will you?
Always going past
the crowds
to just keep you
from feeling down
What about
the people
you love
will you
Just give them
a 
glove...

The Devil's Dues
the piper makes a margin call
and you pay with silver
a Judas kiss placed on the lips
of dreams that leave you quivering

shadows stretch across the lawns
the traffic lights are red
thoughts race through a busy mind
as you downshift in dread

nothing that was promised
has come forth in fruition
going...

Lovesick Dues
Heart wrapped in a thousand knots
Befuddled with
How to feel or what to do
All it knows
Is blue

It questions if our love was true
Or just a passing romance
In the Dark Ages
A pain that one day we’ll see
As a way we grew

Time passes begrudgingly
As it consistently tethers to...

Premium Member Kick Up Your Shoes
Kick up your shoes. You've paid those dues.
It's not the time to sing the blues.
Don't stand underneath a cloud,
turn up the music, keep it loud.
Pick up your feet and feel that beat,
find your rhythm, make it sweet.
Kick up your shoes....
