The Journey

Once upon a weedy lawn
At Cedar Oaks Retirement Home
There sat my mother, weak and old
On an afghan knit to block the cold.

It was summer, but in mom's grey eyes
Was winter, when all around us dies.
I...

Slowest With a Gun

The whips will crack across the back
of the steers that won’t move on.
Every day comes closer now
for the day they will be gone.
All these ‘beeves’ on the trail,
will be yarded sold and railed,
and the cowboys...

My Fears

I’m scared of the lies, I’m scared to give away my heart
Cause it’s been broke before and torn apart 
I’m scared of the feelings that I’m feeling right now
Cause I can’t be the perfect guy...

Not About Biscuits

I read in the news the other day,
Believe this if you can.
We should have a gingerbread person,
And not a gingerbread man.

Yes, things should now be genderless,
In order to avoid the flack,
Should anyone be offended, 
When...

Wild Love

The blackberry's love for the garden rose
Brought down the gardener's wrath.
The blackberry sensed the danger
As he wended the garden path.

" A love so true as mine", he sighed,
"Must dare to brave the hoe.
Just a few...

The Final Change To Worthless Living

I've thought long and hard,
it's time for the final change to worthless living;
I'll leave the stress and the hurdles
at home and flee from grieving,
throwing out ideas that are profane and unsound!
My luck depended on the...

Grieving Rip Dad

That moment I felt like I couldn't breathe.
Everything I felt and thought left me.
My mind and soul, suffocating.
The very minute the phone started ringing.
 
Just a blink in my eye, you had vanished.
The desperation I...

About Me Pt. 1

What can I say about me that you can’t learn within a day?
I was born to be a hopeless romantic,
except I never have any romance in my life
I am a gentleman,
I take my chivalry seriously

How Can I

(Verse 1)
How can I love you,
when you haven't experienced love 
How can I believe you
When you don't know how to trust
All you want to do is fuss(fuss)
And keep saying (I)
When I clearly thought it was...

Mental Chores

reminding myself my goals
and what i have done to achieve them
plan my next step to move ahead
and keep a secure distance
from being wrapped up in other peoples emotions

Like giving myself four compliments a day

For the Honour of the Regiment

It was a desperate situation,
Regimental honour at stake,  
Decision urgently needed
As to what actions to take.
The Colonel was in paroxysms
The RSM was spitting blood
The M.O. was overworked and
Things just weren't looking good.

An outbreak of...

A Tossing and Turning Night

In a tossing and turning night, to wake up I forgot
Never slipping from a series of perpetual dream
A strange situation over and again, escape I could not
In the fabric of this woolgather, I couldn’t tear...

Where I Am From

I am from day old make up, from hand me down clothes and sharpie covered arms.

I am from a dirt filled well and barefoot on gravel

I am from black and brown caterpillars to the landlord’s...

Beneath the Brave

I see beneath your outer side 
of toughened nails immune to hurt
where downy nature still descry 
the empathy for which you thirst

Brave you face each day uproarious 
your smile seldom giving way
through work bent down...

In My World

what is it that my soul is searching for
along this empty beach of thoughts
meaningful entreaty
placid as these gentle tossed waves
I wonder, what do I implore

upon the news of dismal forecast
the palm fronds move in gentle...

Starting Over

i see with the eyes of my soul,
i love in depth in the same exact way,
we're always fighting ourselves not to look at others in this particular way,
we can't see past mistakes, forgiveness means letting...

Vole and Trees Were In the Know

Maples were first at letting down their leaves they always go first actually.
Sycamore and oak were a day later; both let them go satisfactorily.
Their crispy waiting autumn leaves had been ripe for more than a...

Don’t get tired
But ride
Spinning never hide
Soul, soar the game blindside

Built equipped like a freight train minimize
Size never be another like me
Dinosaurs extinct can’t stop destiny
Every thing in me released

The beast
Everything in me they’ll see

You speak from the depths of your soul,
Of all the things you say you can't let go,
But my sweet loving man, I want you to see,
Opening your heart is actually setting you free,
Revealing instead of...

Bondage

Why does it seem that all my brothers
Cant escape just what the others
Scandalize just for a profit
Vandalize like they cant stop it...
Infiltrating all our schooling
Techs and nines will make a ruling
At the hands of someone...

Less Breeds Less

A cellular division and weakening, 
at each sever and subsequent split, 
emotions diffused, dilution of feeling, 
by fractions, bit by bit. 

Every letting down word, every reason, 
every tactical blind, each excuse, 
are delicate chisels...

Learn To Be Lonely

Throughout my life 
I have learned many things.
How to read, write, 
Walk, talk, and even sing.

I’ve learned to laugh,
Cry, love, to be the only,
To be happy, to be sad,
And also to be lonely.

I’ve been by...

Land of Milk and Honey

I've always had satin coated dreams. I always believed blindly in love, 
romanticism and such and never wondered what it means.
I wanted romeo to win juliet and applauded his valor in the end. I wanted...
