Long Fall through the cracks Poems

I was looking over my stuff here, and itseems I've lost the talents I once knew here.
I write ancedotes for my column. I do journalism- always some deadline or project that I work well under...

You!! You, I say you on the guitar?
Do you know who you are?
Or are you just an angel without a name?
I see your heart my sister!! And you do not sing for fame!!!
No, you live...

Night time yet again /starlight swallowed by black-hoes /Never to reach earth 

Monster under bed /Darkness engulfing my heart /Flashlight in closet 

Broken down body /Pieces still falling apart /Trying to survive 

Needed violence /Craving...

The cord was cut and I took another step.
Wasn’t sure about all I saw but it seemed to take my breath.
A cool drink of water began to calm me down.
I can only try to understand...

"Blue Rivers"



Blue rivers 
run through a 
pale valley
branches merge
to an estuary
where life 
Bleeds

All in vain
Dreams are washed away
Dissolved.

The Monster satisfied
is fed.

Open mouthed
“It” sits 
where it all ends 
and waits 
patiently
for the next
flood tide
to begin
to drown...

When it came to dating I had a soul full of sorrow
But all of my friends told me to hang in there
When we met I felt you looking into my soul
My soul laid bare with...

He knows my heart
My every thought
He sees my worst fear
Listens to my prayers
Even when I’m wrong
He never leaves me alone

He knows my soul
The air I breathe is His gift
He isn’t surprised
When I learn my lesson
Or...

I may not be perfect but I'm still here.
Maybe I wasn't there for you.
Maybe I didn't fight hard enough or you, 
 for your rights.
I didn't fight the way you thought I should have.
I may...

Lost inside this sea of woe,
This mass that is my mind.
Overlapping waves of thought;
Engulfing space and time.
Space I should have open;
Time I should have set aside.
I cannot sort through what's important;
Too much Is trapped inside.
Calm...

I have gained nothing from white supremacy
with singular power, sans The Almighty
My faithful friend with sheets of white
my pal, poised, unpen itself to make things right
How squeaky clean each new beginning?
that borrows from the dead,...

I burnt myself last night
For once in my life I felt alright

Pain was healing, Even if its wrong
I know the feeling wouldn't be long

It gave me power, a way of control
Even if it was, fortaking...

Don't fall through the cracks,
through the floorboards
past the pipes
hot water hissing
grey metallic stun gun dull.
Don't land on the basement steps,
slipping on down
bumping the back bone
breaking the fall
with your body gone white like you know it...

Reality, wow what a concept
lifes provable facts
those incontrovertible truths
things that stick out and not fall in the cracks

Its subject to interpretation you see
describing the elephant for the blind
this part the leg,
that a tail, this part...

The battles on the field are harsh and tough
The looting in their wake engorged with greed
Abundant spoils of war are not enough.
 
Atrocious in their acts that make no sense
The women and the girls are...

Why Do We “Choose” Whom We Love…   And Ignore Others?

Why do we often “choose” those we love… 
And ignore those we don’t?
It’s a good thing that Christ doesn’t do this!  He won’t!

I confess…
This city is the reason why cancer exists 
I tend to build buildings too high 
And you burn too much coal,
Thinking every room needs to be warm

So I confess…
My lungs are beginning to feel...

As the days go by you rub away at me 
and peel back the pages of my skin
Soon I shall be raw, sore and broken 
As you undo me 
So you have undone me again

ONE CHILD

One chance, one life, to get it right,
To love each child with all your might,
To show God's love, His light, and truth,
To invest godliness within our youth.

To protect...

Between the cracks


Sometimes I fall between the cracks….
I seem to get lost and can’t find my way back.
The sorrow envelopes of a life that has passed,
 Take a deep breath and hope it’s not my...

Pillars Fall

Pillars fall between swift moving clouds collapsed
They were once white fluffy ghosts along the coast

Statues watch suspiciously at a distance
Recognize their engineered solidity secure

Their facility for beauty, at play inside the mist
As history deforms,...
