(written for JP)

I wish I could talk of my thoughts all-outly 
To a sincere soul, gracious, and comely; 
One's sympathy doesn't count so much 
If my sentiments can't get through one's heart. 

No one would...

Dedicated to: Terrence Michael Sutton & his wife

Now pondering none of previous pitfalls and fears. 
Seemingly waking up each day from a dream...

In the depths of night, where shadows roam,
A tale unfolds of shattered dreams we own.
Once filled with hope, our hearts soared high,
But now they lie broken, beneath the sky.

Whispers of promises, once sweet and clear,
Now...

rejoin the multitudes of normal men.
Those sleepless nights, this old writing hand ached,
from sweat and tears, true poet can...

VULNERABILITY

I Proceeded to face my vulnerability
it crowned me in a place of darkness
where I couldn’t find any forgiveness,
I was dwindling in all these pains

Words are swirling in a mighty roaring wind;
Like colourful leaves tumbling and twirling,

Innocence is still intact,-
no matter how bad this life attack me,
at night in my cold darken room
where it is I cry,

I sat down with a notebook
A soft buzz in my head
Words were there
Then slipped away
Like smoke through fingers
Disappearing into thin air

Ideas floated just out of reach
Like clouds in a sky too bright
Drifting…
Never landing…

The pen hovered,...

The checkered skirts my hell.
The checkered skirts that would make girls sweat in the heat with modest button-downs.
The checkered skirts that would sometimes rise up
To expose messy knees.
The checkered skirts that sometimes
Rose up to a...

Resting in a dream writing all my feeling...
All the words I need to say
With deep emotions 
And a dream
Silently
I sit
And write each word with ease

A tribute to love 
I pledge a life of truth,
Belief and...

We are the poets, painters and dreamers
We’re the wisp of smoke drifting
above the ice covered rooftops
on frozen winter nights

When the world is quiet.
we peer through life’s frost covered windows
We pry open its emotional doors
We walk...

Following the trail of stardust I float to Jupiter
Looking for answers
But alas they are elusive and unkind
I do not understand
or fathom rudeness

Upon my return my eyes flutter in relief
REM sleep takes me deeper and deeper

Last night I dreamt I wrote a poem
And it was all complete
But then, by accident, I hit

I tried, in vain, to reconstruct
The words I’d deftly chosen,
But all my efforts were for...
