By simply reading his poetry
With a pen in hand and...

Still Rejected
1/16/23


Still rejected
I already did mention
Much is in question
In the end most won't get the message
I'm tired of all this tension
Too much focus on others skin complexions
Never once has this path been effective
Do such fools need...

 Broken in a heap...

Humanity 

The pagan pilgrimage, sun-worshippers frequently make
Latter-day phenomenon, take off on a Bronze Age break
Constellations change position, solstices realign
Tropic of Capricorn peaks, Cancer starts its slow decline

Astrologers reassure us, the end is not bespoke
Astronomers can’t...

Premium Member We Are All More Alike Than We Know

That’s how some poets roll the the dice here, don’t you see?
I think it makes sense, if your life is all about me, me, me!

Delving Deeper
The comment hurt and I withdrew
My response was brief as I promptly ended our conversation
Thoughts flooded through my mind
"He doesn't need me" "He has her now"

Enough
They’re never happy,
The world’s selfish hands always expect more,
I’m never enough,
And I probably never will be.
I just want to be loved,
Without being asked to change,
They’ve all let me down so far,
I’m not enough for them.

Playing Ball
Curveballs come and they go
They exist in mere
Fragments of time
As they test our consciousness
And stretch our faith
They provide us with an opportunity to define
Who we really are

Curveballs come and they go
They are not meant
To rip...

He ran the world and when he thought of stopping,
the race track played another trick on him.
His wild hair halo 'round a face, with beads
of fine salt tickle, tease.  They run down his neck.

When I go heal the pain that aches,
Just at home is broken to know what love takes,
Late nights wandering in the hell I came cross a pic,
Of the summer...

The thing was breathtaking!
Such an elegant, mechanical pencil, 
it was Black lacquered,
