Prayerful HoodLike Merlin, we graze
At thoughts limitless,
Benign souls scribbling,
Keyboards inspired,
Or so it seems,
Faith doubts and believes,
Love's days dreaming,
Stars, the moon, our muse,
Makes our happy hearts,
Okay poets!...

Clarity After Cloudiness
Oh, those cloudy, sunless days;
time to visit inner views.
No distractions in my mind
luring me outdoors to play,
hiding what lies deep inside.
Clouds grant clarity to thoughts-
to write deeper poems then.

Surely strength?No strength is so sure
Yet fleeting, as noble men
Who, cloaked in valor
Do the things righteous
Without anyone watching
Unseen by the crowds

Got to keep goingWe all wish for something more than what we see,
We’re all searching for a place where we can be free.
With every step we take, the stakes are high,
But we lift each other up, make our spirits fly.

Chasing the lightIn the silence of the night, when the stars start to fade,
I can feel the dreams I had, like a promise that betrayed.
Once I held the fire, like a flame that was bright,
But now I’m just a shadow, wandering in the light.
I close my eyes and listen to the whispers in the breeze,
They tell me...

Universal LightRiding a beam of universal light.
The heavens are luminous, every night.
Interpreted through fear a blinding bright,
Filtered through Love it provides great insight.
Is it better to give, than to receive?
First try it, then tell me what you believe.
Be honest with others, never deceive,
A life worth living, you’ll surely achieve.

BE TOLD, STAY BOLD AND TAKE HOLDBe Told
What worth a thousand
Can't be attained with hundreds
To know the degree
You must measure
To get to the top of a tree
You have to climb it.
Stay bold
If you're working on it
It will surely work out
When you give it your all
There must be an outcome
Even if not immediately but it's certain.
Take...

No OtherMy claim to fame is in your name
No other name will do
For if they all applaud me yet
I crave applause from you
No other praise will meet my gaze
No others words will do
For what they write althought alright
Was not written by you
No other face can dare erase
Your image in my mind
For though they all are very...

The beautiful colors and the humor of animation
Cheering up a heart through this line of communication
The hues being used could moisten the stamp
Cute little stamps to use by those in summer camp

Pick Up Your SwordIt's your choice to keep going.
It's your choice to heal.
It's your choice to reflect.
It's your choice to look at
that broken reflection and
to see a warrior.
It's your choice to quit.
It's your choice to stay broken.
It’s your choice to reflect.
It's your choice to look at that
broken reflection and...

Before the Language of the SensesTouch me
where I do not tremble.
Make of me a scent
without a name.
Let sound become
what breath once was
before it learned to speak.
Let the tongue
forget
its hunger.
Listen to me
with the skin of thought.
I seek no salvation,
only time
that vibrates
beneath the skin.
