You showed me places I'd never been
And will probably...

Carrying with me a
halfhearted smile for the
braver men than I.
The men holding tightly
to past perceptions,
live or die.
Suppose I whispered to 'em
what I've heard through
the metaphorical grapevines.
Suppose I lent a hand.
Would they take it as an...

Every breath is  a fresh step.
Forget your last step take a fresh breath.

I may not walk the line.
But I am designed to shine.
The things I refuse are
the things I should choose.

Never running away.
Feet anchored...

A tale unfolds, of souls in twisted spells.
Of Leslie Van Houten, her fate entwined,
With Charles Manson, the mastermind.

His voice whispered venom,...

Daydreams – A day in the life.

I awake to a cornucopia of routines,
a lunch basket - of useless habits
carrying me into the realm of, dreamland
a carnival midway full of mirrored visions
that have become imbedded in...

My life has become a brittle bouquet 
Of dead red roses in rapid decay 
And all that I thought one day I could be 
Is now but a part of lost history.

I look to the...

In the shadows of his presence, I stand,
A mere silhouette in his commanding hand.
His voice, a symphony of authority,
Conducting the movements of my reality.

In the tapestry of his desire, I'm woven tight,
Bound by threads of...

Here I am facing my death at age sixteen.
Each moment of my life has been a foreboding scene.
I never had desire to be this nation’s queen.

Devoid of love and care from my mother,
it seems I...

Fallen from grace, 
no longer do I sit high upon the pedestal that you had once put me 
No longer am I seen as idol or mentor
Nor wanted as provider or protector 
But now looked...

Many a Linda are amongst us and I wonder where have the
bishops been when she went down that hectic bi-polar road
She was a pawn in the game but then God...

Here in the city flats
With  congregations of millions by and by
Mindless to all but directional front
Café’s are open for breakfast and brunch
Architectural brilliance touches the eye
A Broadway quartet in top hats.

If I didn't smile so much
Invisible I would have stayed
Instead, he chose me to be
A pawn in the game he played
 
If I wasn't as strong as I was
Then I wouldn't have been all alone

Am I a pawn
a pawn in a game of chess
for someone unseen
or a lowly character
in an ill-written play with no rules
Nothin', nothin'
seems to be going right
as right could ever be rightfully justified
Who's in charge of...

What is happening in the world today?
I really wish my life would change
Everyday’s exactly the same
Nothing differs in a good way
And I got no’ one else to blame
It’s like a picture in a frame
Just a...

Why do you hate me?
Why must you ruin me? My heart, my head, my trust?

Did my love mean anything to you?
Was I just a pawn in your game?
You like to play games.
I would sit and...

Alone the hunter-
walked through the frozen tundra.
His will a plunder.


The tireless snow-
Beat harder at his prowess.
Just to let him know.


He will not survive.
Fate now bore his destiny.
For life he would strive.


He fought to a crawl,

In the shadows of the night,
I feel Satan's yoke, so tight,
His grip upon my soul,
Is a weight I cannot control.

I am lost in his embrace,
My heart and mind, he does encase,
I am but a pawn...

Like turning our backs 
From stinging needles of icy wind
We dust our impervious spirits clean
Acceptance is the LIGHT
The way 
The might 
The only solution
As grievous as it seems~
An intangible hell wallows in sin
Tragedies can maul...

I am the heartache in unopen love letters, that are not written in love. They are bathed in sadness.

I am a pawn in a game of chess, a move away from checkmate. A move more...

She waited on the ground
For the first stone to be thrown
Guilty as charged
Coming through brambles, her seed had grown

In silence he lingers
Secrets choking the soul to shame
All the regrets of wanting money
Ran him to the...
