America, Why Did You Stray?
America, why did you stray from the old way.
A constitution put forth, the foundation of our land,
barely recognizable what was originally Jefferson's hand.
Tarnished and smudged by misinterpretation,
overindulgence and greed, to satisfy political,
judicial, and journalistic need.
Once...

In Life We Shared and In Death We Part

as I lay upon dampened ground
I sighed and looked heavens up astound,
wishing for the pain to cease
I wiped my brow of all crease
with dismay my mind wonders

A Work In Progress
I don't have to be a monk,
tucked away on some far off mountain,
to feel the profound joy
of contemplation.
Nor do I have to be a party animal
to laugh at ridiculous jokes,
during game night
in the company of...

When I lay down on my deathbed,
Remember me…remember me forevermore
When I give in to silent slumber,
Don’t grieve for me…

A pleasant placement that I adore
When I wake up from this horrifying...

What Is Real
Scriptures speak to us in riddles
Relying upon esoteric symbols
They may be well intentioned
But it’s time this truth is mentioned
That addressing mind, invoking fear
Guilt of imagined sin begins to sear
Plunging our mind in deep...

Valentine For My Ex
Subconscious thought periodically drops you into my cotton candy dream world.
The FM dial drizzles my mind with syrupy sweet remnants of the past.
I bite through the chewy nougat of what-could-have-been.
Zinfandel-laced thought processes amplify the rich,...

Or will you always consider my treasures
Were stored up for...

Its Christmas
The sleepy eyes,
the excited cries,
the whoops and hollers
and the early rise.
The stampede downstairs,
the jumping on chairs,
the ooh's and aah's
and the wide eyed stares.
The tearing of paper
on Christmas morn,
mothers tired smile
and...

Give a Fig
To aid the celebration’s overindulgence
of snow and damp, sugar and fat,
serve a cornucopia of felicitous fiber
and its vitamin rush—

Honeycrisp apples and wild red strawberries,
spring mix sprinkled with...

Obesity
His more than ample physique,

a surfeit of shameless gastronome
that defined a cornucopia of excess
and a masticating overindulgence.
Such a pity to gormandize,
to binge, gorge, and satiate.
to devour in such excess,
in...

I'M a Junkie
Addicted to somethin’
My thoughts no longer own
A fish tank full of submarines
Swimming schools of piranhas
Waking up soaking wet
Sharks swimming in my sweat
Sleeping on the cold floor
Petrified to close the door
Or open when closed...nightmares...
