The Vicious Cycle
I haven’t been here in a while
At this point in my life that is.
The point where something great becomes misconstrued
more filled with angst instead of jovialness.

Scenes From Above
A face that you see everyday
That same reflection that you curse in various ways
Punished for hard living
Praised for innocent givings
Untoucheables repeatedly charmed
Because we are have-nots, we are seated and alarmed
White roses, clear caskets, and black...

Cognizant that adjacent to an oasis of joy, lies a desert brooding strife;
Assume charge of your chosen path, obey rules of road as you ride,
Pursuing...

Before Promises Were Lies
Before our feet touched the ground
And love was asked to run, walk, but not fly
And it task to trust that which we could not see,
But only sense and feel
And dance without music,
And against the...

Even though I grew up in a large family,
With plenty of siblings to fill a happy home.

For a mother that occurred in my life

Many times you hurdled in life’s strife
You made yourself least priority
A selfless person is what endeared you

Perturbing in hindrances that endlessly groan
Searching exit ramp to soothe anguished soul.

He grew to be as passionate as he can!

Moonstruck he followed,
She flew to chase her dream dear;
Heartache he swallowed!

readied for a splash in the nearby lake.
Spinning reels whizz as they are hurled
into thick underbrush at water’s edge,
trying for the big bass...

In Realm of Love and Life

Song of romance fervent hearts heard
In tenor we knew, rhythms that woo,

Said Man Lost To Hate
Said Thomas
I a hustling peddler,
hungry mouths to feed.
Do you know what's it's like
to stare upon hunger!
especially that of a child!
Tackled and hurdled to the ground like an animal.
Silent eyes stare,
Jaws stretch down,
Lips hanging,
Air stalls,...

The grandest show on earth
Thunder rolled on invisible drums

To cool down the heat of the sun
Curtains of dark clouds parted
As dancing...

You are a transformation under a Sun drenched day.
Beckoned or heralded you climb above a beaming ray,
Bristles of your hair shall glow and many are perverse....
