Long Misspoken Poems

Nobody knows how life will play out-
the steps of a journey marching through each scene,
for futurity is sightless, only the beginning has eyes.

Nobody knows the number of heartbeats...
no artist, craftsman, designer, seascapist,
no orchestrator or sculptor-...

Sadness was silly when I was twenty-three
Masked with a drink whenever it bothered me
When  my head hits the pillow, it won’t leave me be  
Curious what keeps it alive inside me

A lifetime of firewater...

Shatter the silence


With love there are no answers.
If you aspire to love forever, you will be disappointed;
But if you find the one, you will be given many second chances
And it will feel like you have...

Three hours suppressed before breaching the tight-lipped 
container left neatly wrapped in homogenous foam 
and smoky demeanor. Its lid caved in, having been tapped.

Through misspoken holes sprung arcadian visions, 
lacking Peloponnese disposition, still semi-smoldering 
with...

to the men in lab coats with horns like unto goats, 
an open confession of a minor isotope:

I -- so -- Hope that a day shall dawn
when men no longer long
for the things that do...

I want to say I am thankful for our esteemed president
Joe Biden has given his life in the service of the U.S.A.
A godly man, an honest man, I don’t expect assent,

That man you see,
On the streets he be
Living with nothing to his name
He holds no one to blame.
You call him a bum
Doesn't matter where he has come from
Wasn't his choice to be on the street.

A kind word, of course,
Can soothe the flustered soul or bring a smile
To a frowning face. That’s a given, but
In one’s troubled times, words still are
Only words.
Naked they become, for we see right through them...

There's no one who can stand

O oh whoo what a man
But he lies he cheats he...

What is love

What is love,
it is …

the good and the bad,
sharing, learning, comforting,
no sides, no boundaries,
understanding, 
even if you don't, 
arms open...wide,
mind open...wider,
heart always accepting that
not everything is easy,
the bed of roses comes with thorns,
but...

Oh, darling 
You are so broken;
You heart is broken, like a plate of glass;
You and your heart quite so fragile,
 you're like a  glass; 
How long will it last;
You're heartbroken like shattered glass;
Now...

RETURN TO LOVE

Oh, my darling returns,
Come on back to me
Can’t you see, I need you to be back
Into my life, forever, ever
Return to love
Return to love
Return to love my darling
Return to love, why you go...

And so it begins
 the endless montage of words amid hugs and kisses,
  struggling to express untethered euphoric blisses,
   the joy, the laughter, the fully embraced elation
    in attendance...

Father I come to you with broken tooth;
My tongue has lied has not spoken truth;
And mother please gather around;
Whisk, wish, wash my mouth today;
Grandma teach me how to pray;
And brother when you're in doubt;
Come find...

Pain comes creeping in on little cat’s feet
Silent like the night it falls
floating on butterflies - that dance eerily through
shattered visions know only as my childhood

Thoughts tumble, like
a tornado of misspoken words
deep sobs echo
losing their...

I espied her regard and deemed her depth. 
She requested that I "Hold this for me."
I dare you, do not let it fall on earth. 
It's gotten loose to point at agony.

Broken promises, God kind erase them
People’s lying, cheating, promises stolen
Not being honest about their motives

Promises misspoken
Letters unopened
Sentences misrepresented
Stolen blessings

Where do these things come from?
From a fork-tongue
Where do those things of unjust spoken languages come from?
The...

It's a never ending cycle of drama
Pain coming and going from day to day
Trapped in this world tired, depressed, alone
Love covers a multitude of sins
But, keep me bare naked to resistance

A leaky faucet in the...

with one simple guiding adage

 in scripting men and women of youthful age

I saw the truth lying around
Looked again, it can't be found.

Where it went when and why
Sorry, it must've passed me by.

Suddenly I'm feeling broken
Others say I've misspoken.

I'm tired pretending it's okay
To see my truth slip...

But Love isn't,you will find 
It sees every imperfection and flaw 
And yet it still remains in such awe 

It doesn't demand change of who one is

life was lived through open eyes
rain dismissed clouds no more
rainbows spanned from shore to shore

A Lie


Many a heart has been broken
Because of lies by someone spoken
Many of lives have been taken
Because they have been forsaken.

A life has been lost because of the lying
This was the reason for which there...
