Love, Me
I think
That I love you
I have such
A great feeling
When you ever
Cross my mind,
A little boost
Of adrenaline
To keep me going
Always have
I felt this
Even before I
Knew you reciprocated
My own feelings
At first, I
Thought it was
A simple crush
But I...

A Masterpiece
A masterpiece,
What is that?
Who decides
What is an
Amazing work
Of art that
Is above all
The rest?
Who is the
Judge that
Decided whether
One painting
Or story is
A genuine piece
Of shining gold?
What is there
To the process
Of deciding on
What makes a
Piece of art
So good;...

In A Few Words
To summarize
One thing
In a few words
Seems impossible
To me because
Everything’s complex
And beautiful
In its own way
And cannot be
Simply described
In a few words
Or less
Nothing is so
Unimportant that
It can be
Shown in a
Single sentence
The world is
Made of so
Many complicated
And wild...

I Passed a Church TodayI passed a church today
glanced at the 12 foot cross
with hanging replica of Jesus
beaten, flayed, crucified.
I slowed my pace,
almost turned to ask:
"Why do they think you'll come back?"
I pondered the question
walking slowly in the darkness

Fairy Tale Struggles
Dark lords, grasping swords, eyes on the skies
I thought those fairy tales were gone
Yet they are still told like all such stories partially true
Pretending they are light tales ending in triumph—life is joyous again
Knights in...

The Stranger
Lonely words cling to weak fabrics
Of shallow and wasted minds
Like the free flowing of life
From a blood stained fountain.
Temples of direction and aim
Empty their contents into the fury arms
Of helpless longing, needs, desires,
That lure the...

Spiritual EmbodimentI stroll down a quiet road
under the sun's brilliance,
huddled raven awfully croak,
little robins delightfully warble;
glad to roam where people don't walk;
freedom is found in some lonely place,
one may feel very alone and sad,
and stopping to...

CatharsisI feel all at once affronted by the peculiarity of the state of being,
existing both in the planes of the body and the heart.
Where does the spirit return to?
Which is the true homeland,
that birthed...

On the Trail Trekked As Best I CanSo Softly was the fire applied
In the dark
A Lighted flame
To a waiting cotton wick’s desire
To show the way
In wisdom came
A candle tamed.
As I that candle, ready supplied
For climbing cliffs
And scaling walls
In duty ready to give...

RecollectionSwift and sweet, how memories rise
diamond- strung in a room of silver
Slick and sleek from a stormy world
solid tree trunks on a bell- clear morning.

ColumbineWhat is there to gain?
Why do I exist?
What's the plan?
My question is...
...What's my greatness?
What should I sustain,
The bruise of healing rain or pain?
What's the plot,
To all of this?
What's my greatness?
