The paintings where discovered in an old barn
The crime of the century
All six paintings masterpieces
All the locals where questioned at length and width
No one had but a single clue
Except for the local art dealer
He whispered to the inspector
I saw a very colorful van
Drive off in...

It is human nature to hate him whom you have injured. ~Tacitus

as children 
we looked past the world’s artificial trappings 
the ravelment of doctrines 
and the glaring capitalistic displays
the only criteria was that we’re friends 

growing up 
the world we inhabited 
shrank as we embraced...

Chased by the fleeing clouds 
defined by the wind
life running too short, 
make peace with loved ones. 
Tell them you love them, 
hug them and be moved. 
Tomorrow might be none, 
for later tears and broken heart,
it'll hurt when they're beneath the earth.

Beautiful Ones

Aloft in the steam, they look like Eagles.
Perched now on the edge of the bowl,
proud courtesies peck the kind and meek
with true meanings and Premier trophies.

Unprecedented vanity creates illusion 
with self appointed monarchs. 
Court jesters perform a merry dance 
patronizing peasants. 

Draws the gaze...

A light turned dark and gloom
Needing help but was invisible
Buried in the shadows 
Dark thoughts consuming
A mission brought upon them
Soon to be completed


Warning signs not to be seen
Being warned but not knowing
Unsuspecting they fell
Into the traps of the dark
Bringing panic upon them
Tried to flee but...

How Can We Hurt The Ones We Love?

How can we hurt the very ones that we love?
How can we easily neglect our God above?

It seems like I often heard about many victims
Many times, it’s from a loved one who’s been with them!

The hate and the...

To all who see the good in me
All that is lovely, sweet and fair
To all who will not see the thorns
Who nourish me with love and care

To dear ones who have loved my rhymes
Who with their words have spread the cheer
To all those who have...

Sometimes I've stopped and wondered
As I write from day to day
To spread ones wings and fly
And let the anew have their say

There are so many horizons
In the distance of our lives
To spread ones wings and fly
Where new writing newly strives

Audiences abound our globe
Where fresh learning's...

I am not lonely
Because I am alone

I am not timid
Because I am quiet
I am sparse with speech
Because I have carried
The weight of words
So I know their value, and their price

I am not impaired
Because I keep my own company
Being still is a trait to cherish
Not a...

Remember me when you hear the wind blow.
I am with God, I need you to know.
He called my name, and I went to see
If the voice I heard was speaking to me.
He took my hand, we walked along
The road to heaven, where I belong.
The angles...

Nocturnal nerds now Priests of Power
Crank out the code grim and dour
Grimace and groan, grind it like stone
O, you miserable dim ones and zeroes

Bite your nails and pull out your hair  
Finish that program ere the sun can stare
At your flushed cheeks and ghastly...

Come to me O Ancient Ones
For I have missed you
Your presence fills me with
Light and joy

I hear you calling me in the night
Tendrils whispered 
On the winds of time

I receive you with grace and humbleness
In awe of your spirit
Your keen glance says everything to me

I...

In Memoriam Quietly Always Close

Are they whispers, then, settling
So gently upon that slightest breeze wending
     Over the granite crosses and statues of cradling angels,
     Which stand in their long cemetary rows?
Stating each name of the one passed...
