Words are just darts thrown toward meaning.
In a linguistic dance, they find their gleaming
With every utterance, their aim takes flight.
Seeking understanding, conquering the night

But with atrocity on their hands, they agreed,
Words have the power to induce hearts to bleed.
Each syllable is a...

Stress
My hearts pounding
A steady thrum
That's drawing closer
A pain in my chest
With every single breath.

Stress
My hair is falling,
It pulls out in my hands
I cry as it wraps
around my fingers
with every strand....

When iconic lines in classic 
movies have been changed
And our world feels a bit 
upside down and rearranged,
When all you thought you knew 
seems wrong in memory,
The stars have moved to places 
where they shouldn't be,

When you look for certain things 
you can no longer...

The luscious, long, green grass
Sways and sweeps and flows.
How far, how fast this wind will travel,
No one really knows!

This same wind could stir up
Whirls and waves in all seas.
This powerful force makes nature dance.
Our senses this does please.

Though it can be disruptive
On a minor or...

After fifty years plus my old friend
could take years till he gets on the mend,
when he's testerone free
he'll be harder to see,
but, also much easier to bend.

As the side effects continue to evolve
there is a problem I still have to solve,
for when i'm all alone...

As I sit here, I listen to the words I try so hard to, but cannot block out,
How is it that I have not experianced enough ridicule In Elementary school,
Why is it that I must experiance it again after so long, with no reason of...

The streets have become lonely
Days have gone quieter
Gone are the days when kids would play until dusk
With joyful sounds that rejoiced their mothers and fathers
Distancing themselves from substance abuse.

Our generation is lost
Our schools have been abandoned
Our homes are desolate
Substance abuse rules our nation.

We weep for...

she told me she was living with cancer
not dying from it and she would beat it
sometimes people don't realize the promises
they are making when they make them
worry is another side effect of dying
she was a gift, a rare and fragile flower 
who gave me something...

Swelling waters rage across the land; 
two foot, three, four…water-tantrum’s take their toll; 
capturing houses and cars.
The collection grows with every storm.
Tempests wage their war on unsuspecting trees and crops;
limbs whirl about the airways. frantically.

Four legged’s seek the higher ground for, safety’s sake; 
hurricane is...

Sitting in his kingdom of endless riches
A man amused by material wishes
An infinite need for more and more
With limits on splurging most often ignored
But when one’s mind is ruled by a greed, 
Trust cannot exist, because sin exceeds
Friends and family, nowhere to be found
Resistance to...

In a quiet night
I heard voices from above
I did not know for sure
where they came from
I thought
they might hail from heaven
or hell
I hesitated for a second
and would not care about such thing no longer
Then I supposed
perhaps the voices were just sound effects
which had gone to...

Life is tough; pain is a part of it;
but so too is love; balance is met.
Yet the scale tips, according to how
you measure the weight of each tear wept.

Submissive to your reality;
you suffer needlessly every night.
For fear is but a phantom shadow;
once exposed, it quickly...

Failure is with us every day
			telling us to go for it on fourth and one;			
			more and more that’s done;
			we listen to failure smiling cynically
			as he whispers temptations in our ears.
			You’d recognize the guy,
			You’ve seen him lingering near,
			first cousin to Mayhem on TV,
			there’s a strong family...
