Long Peace day Poems

I have become haunted by therapeutic wonder,
within wonder,
surrounded by Wonder,

A former friend of mine
tricked me into becoming
something I am not

which typically continues
until...

Every day in school
They would pick on him
And threaten to kill his mom
If he reported them

The constant abuse 
And the physical attacks
For months he took it
And the teachers all turn their backs

The shame and humiliation

Each night she goes to bed in fear
Each night a prayer is prayed
For just one night of peaceful sleep
No visit to come her way
Still every night he enters in
He violates her soul
Abruptly leaves this child...

In my solitude there's been retreat
From worldly events that brought defeat,
When emotions were too weak to bear
I could always find asylum there.

Through childhood, grade school, college too
And as a Man, I always knew
An inner peace...

opened the screen door
to spy on the sky no
clouds wiping sleep from

Breathing in the fall air
filling up on the crispness
a day for a walk and time
to unwind to take in the

Beware of my building tension might
driving destructive and perilous fight
or causing anxious, grievous fright

An early rise,
up on a truck, having had,
a short drive to the strip.

Loaded in the belly 
of a gray dragon, quickly we move.

A waiting game in the dunes,

I can't stop thinking of you 
until the day is through
when the lights go down
and not a sound

although it may last forever
when the day is...
