Behind the facadeI gave up on everything, I gave up on everyone.
I know this is a heaven, but I just don't think it was meant for me.
If you knew me you would judge me for all those mistakes
So like the rest of us I carry this smile on my face and act like everything is alright...

Halcyon FallThrough the beige isle, veins of green holler aloud
Lush foliages of maple, yet I pick upon a rosebud
Mists of sentiment brabble, springing whistles of reminiscing
From the floor, they call out to me, unrelenting
I kept at it, pacing across the vast meadow
Lights begin to dim, even so, I shall escape under the nightly glow
Along the paths,...

Think Love When You Think GodHe knows our every thought and he truly cares.
Our Creator and God love us and he is there!
He never forces himself upon me or you.
He gave us freewill and allows us to choose.
Sure he could force us all to do things his way.
But then were just robots, doing whatever He say.
Think about a parent, programming...

The death of a sonWhat if I can't continue,
evolving into this mystery?
What if the story dies with me
grabbing and pulling at the hands of reality,
what then?
Do the stars continue to plot their courses
in an ocean of black?
or do they just fade away?
Will the universe drift mournfully
acknowledging the loss of a sun?
Do at last the heavens...

***After sinking into oblivion
Only the fractured soul
Knows your sorrows
Your feeble hopes
Your fervent battles
When stepping outside yourself
You see a world so big
When alone
Everything is so small
Covered with a thick slice of darkness
In this inner chaos
You owe nothing but yourself
That once belonged
To his anxious dream
Now, a precious memory
That belongs only to you
Engulfing the...

The greatest of giftsSat alone again, sipping a few
The old whiskey jar
It's as empty as you
Now you're gone I can see
All that you did
Just one more day
To be your friend
They say to live
Each day as your last
The reality is
We're all tied to a mast
Don't dream away
These ideas that you have
Because the moment is now
Just remember...

handful of memoriesfrom her back garden at far distance she can see,
across the meadows, sun setting into the sea,
her memories race to times to what it had been,
they walk along the bay, hands clutching love between,
golden evening skies with breeze that would come to please,
alone in her late years, they now come, come to tease.

RossThose endlessly dark COVID unit days
Once lead my emotions and mental state astray
Finally finding solace in online games
For some crumbs of joy from day to day
It was there I met a brand new friend
Who got me through till winters end
His words, thoughts and intentions were true
His music and...

I remember the family landI remember the land and its people, and I am concerned about the limitations of their mentality. I remember the dead and how the trees outlast them. I hear the language of the trees—the whispering sound of freedom and the resilience of human life, supported by the generosity of a mature land.
The wasteland we leave...

LIFELIFE
Youth gives us sparkle and energy, we are invincible, strong with memory.
Life’s chapters open and close, some long, some brief or quick dose.
The episodes get grayer as we cruise through junctions, while continuing with purpose.
Life is a voyage, full of bumps, tears, laughs and memories
Our world can change in the blink of an eye.
Forks in...

SilenceSoft blue wind blows cottony clouds
In them I look for beloved’s face
Love never dies but bodies transition
Energy from one place to the unknown
Never can say goodbye
Cherish the memories and laughter
Even when the silence is so loud...

CarolUpon the eve of dying
she could not speak.
And all her opened tear ducts
Sprang awake
And flooded forth from
The founts of creation
A new sea.
Oh, yes!
She cried a sea of tears
Because her words
Had passed the door of possibility,
Because her boys
Would not be there
For her to comfort them,
Because, perhaps
A whole life
Needed to be grieved.
How I loved her.
She could hear...

Letter To The Fallen"Memories buried in the wavering wash of time."
I write you now with trembling hand,
The ink runs like the river sand,
Where once we laughed, side by side—
Now silence stands where you had died.
Your dog tags hang from rusted steel,
A ghost’s reminder I still feel.
Your voice just echoes in my chest,
A joke, a shout, your final rest.
We...

Cemetery Holds The Livinghairline chasm threads
cobweb white through obsidian—
wrapped around carved names
once warm on living tongues.
those who lived visit
with heads down,
pretending it’s superstition—
not guilt.
not memory.
not fear of love ending abruptly
in a plot...

In Memory OfSo many friends came to say goodbye
Remember the good times, not going to cry
You were such a part of everyone you knew
A special someone for everything that makes up you
Hard to accept that you are no longer here
Keep waiting for the moment when you reappear
It really hit me, hearing the songs you wrote
Nobody else could...
