The Bearing To Focus
Pains are supposed lifetime teachers,
Teachers that connect mind to soul.
Soul, mind connects unto preachers,
Towards time... life lessons made whole.
Pains are pieces of peaceful storm...
Comfort's steeze can not regulate,
Or by any means can reform;
All stings, life's fate violate.
Each never come to mount limit,
Rather shapes mind not to get lost
Of strength wearing out to be fit
Enough for...

Waiting for the Third Day, A Muse ChronicleMuse - Day 1, 2016
For years I had read
Not realizing what I too, had given…
I had given, just not sure what I received in return.
So, in these, my later years thinking on this...
I approached morning’s-day Muse
Fresh with the Sun.
From all I had become in the Sum of Days
Muse asked gently of me...
“Who are you?”
I...

MoreI am poor but still want more.
I get a job but still want more.
I go to parties but still want more.
I buy everything but still want more.
I try a hobby but still want more.
I raise a family and don’t need more anymore....

A Career in Undercover
It's no surprise
that I'm back here
looking out over the river,
painting thoughts, dripping
memories, smearing streaks
of the here and now
across the canvas of a dull,
overcast day.
There was a time
when I had ambitions to be
an artist, high school dreams
of a life in smoke filled studios,
tee shirts and paint splattered
Levi jeans. ( A la Jackson Pollock )
Fate...

The Welder WithinIn alleys of silence, I walked alone,
Where sparks of steel on stone were thrown.
A boy of fire, with hands like flame,
Crafted the world, yet knew no fame.
The others watched with silent awe,
At skill so pure it broke all law—
Not law of man, but time and fate,
He welded truth through heaven’s gate.
I saw myself in that...

Tremendous Career
We were doomed to witness for god knows why
The schooling of the Artificial Intelligence
It’s a miracle worker they say a nice guy
Who's supposed to add us some relevance
I didn’t really ask of it, maybe you did?
But the answer you gave came late
No one took care of this digital kid
Laughing at the mistakes he made
Now...

Muse of DuskShe walks where day and night entwine,
A whispered breeze through aging pine,
With eyes that hold the fading light,
And secrets born from end of night.
A veil of roses, oud, and rain,
A kiss of warmth, a touch of pain—
She lingers soft on lover’s skin,
Like velvet shadows tucked within.
No dawn can cage her amber soul,
No noon can grasp...

Guitar Sorcerer
He steps into moonlight, strings ablaze,
A spell-bound master in a midnight haze.
Notes crack like lightning, dark flames rise,
Echoes twisting through spectral skies.
From covens deep and forests old,
He forged a sound both fierce and bold.
A serpent’s hiss, a banshee’s wail,
His fingers dance—an...

emergencyIf ever presented with a platter of choices
I shall choose a certain kind of calmness.
Unlike the one which holds leaves together before storm,
I choose the kind mingled on faces of ambulance drivers
Of my hometown....

A Writer's MalaiseA writer's challenge
Is like any artist's…
A many sided coin flipped.
Feel, see, hear, dream
Sweats tasted, presenting pasts
Saw, felt, heard, and dreamt
Bringing future in to bear.
Not just a flat, slim coin, mind you...
A presence coin, flipped of immeasurable depth
Holding saved wisdom's placement.
Search boxes present, now titled past
Waiting for more recent future’s to come.

If Only I Had But a ClueIf only I had but a clue,
Then surely, I'd know what to do.
With life's mystery gone,
I'd settle upon
Some course that I can't now construe....

FULFILL AND CONQUER GRADUATION SONGThrough the academic years
The feeling of uncertain and fear
Here I am on graduation day being my personal preserver
The studies were hard and long
I wondered is higher learning where I belong
There were numerous exams
Research papers imaginable
I got through it all
The lectures were focused on concise being pure concepts
It was “MIND OVER MATTER” that become concrete
I...

The Voice in YouListen to the voice in you
And it will tell you what to do
Shake the burden off your head
And meditate upon your bed
Listen carefully to the voice inside you
And it will guide you, it is the voice
That speaks the truth, it is the voice
That will redeem you from your
Battered youth, head strong
Weak heart, head strong and
Broken...

This love out grows if not handled properly
kind love ,patient love, sweet love, agape love
but Oedipus is contagious good but dangerous
Bring the sickle and prune the garden.
only elites see the weed in the garden
How can a man keep his way pure and strong
by getting hide into the word of the Lord or

Considering my What Ifs
I was going to become a teacher
I thought it was my calling
I was young and thought it best
to go to university straight out of high school
before I'd go to teachers' college
Well... things did not go as planned
for better or for worse, who knows
I got sidetracked ended up taking a job
education got shelved for longer than...
