Not On A Monday
No hurried alarms,
Soft and gentle morning light,
Coffee is brewed without rush.
World quietly waits,
Every hour mildly flows past,
Each heart beats with free delight.

Lost in echoes of darkened time
dampened, dithering, dazed
wet withered witches mime a dime
fearful, I’m mazed or crazed
Calling Divinity, voicebox shut
eyelids glued, nostrils stuffed
lips zipped with copper thread
eardrums worrisome waned
Where are chiming confluent clocks
highways and internet ?
shadows dim whisper, “badly blocked,
pointless you bet, get set...

Maze of LifeI am surrounded by
Numberless wells,
At every step that I can,
Take, but up to the well,
I am to fell down,
Into depth of the well,
And from where I will,
Return is not sure,
If I come back, there is,
Another well, if I take,
A step, I will fell down,
In the depth of another,
Well, I am set in the maze,
Of...

On the stage of life, I paint my lips crimson, a smile stitched with invisible threadOn the stage of life, I paint my lips crimson, a smile stitched with invisible thread,
While the scar beneath my ribs sings a melody only I can hear.
The halogen spotlights burn intensely, bleaching the shadows where my pain retreats,
Like a sleeping child, small, forgotten, yet still breathing in the deafening silence.
Pirouetting with borrowed grace, each...

Is the time of our departure from earth near part twoO how it is so very clear that our departure in rapture's flight of 777
Is alas also so very near and it could be departing any moment of
Every single solitary day. That is why Jesus tells us "fear not and
Don't be afraid." When I am coming for my children in the middle
Of that...

Retirement67 years 8 months, you are now of age
What achievements have you to gage
Married twice children there are four
What legacy is left as you walk out the door
Bowler. Firefighter, part time clown
Carpenter, DPW worker, man with a frown
Wonderful daughter, 2 boys and one stepson
To most this would be a lottery won
A failed engagement, divorce, a...

Without Merit
You condemn me from shadows you've never dared to leave,
Crafting judgment from fragments you refuse to believe.
I wear your scorn like armor, forged in silent wars,
And still you tremble—because I never needed your doors.
You pass your sentences like rituals in a dying faith,
But I know truth: it...

Echoes: Veils of UncertaintyA silver bird departs, the sky serene,
Yet morning’s promise shatters in a breath;
Ash falls where laughter and bright hopes had been,
A city mourns the sudden hand of death.
In distant hills, a traveler’s path grows cold,
A journey meant for dreams, now left undone;
The news arrives—too heavy to be told—
A vanished step, a race that’s never run.
Where...

Tonight I Cried
Tonight I cried.
The silence after giving was louder than my music ever dared to be.
Six cards, six names—none turned toward me.
I asked why. The void answered with its back.
Tonight I walked into the open like a soldier with no armor.
The wind was a warning. The world—cold, familiar....

Torn Apart WorldFeel like im 1 of 1 in this torn apart world, if i turn cold thats undone
seen with my past mistakes
nothing new under the sun, someone else has sat in this place
a world where we keep a loaded gun and a mask to cover our face
from pain we easily run i guess were scared of...
