for a...

I flew to the place where it was always sun,
And before me lay a fine array
Of palaces and fields where laughter held sway.

Here to speak to a certain confined patient....

Within the walls of the criminally insanes, incarcerated

Thinking to myself a moment ago as I checked in my arms

Ànd I thought to myself how I do, stand within astonishing disbelief

When I behold once more the manifestation of his maligned and malignant face....

Like somehow viewing an apparition appearing, before the gates of grace

Disguisingly vague;...

A Lonely Traveler

As the last man on the planet Earth,
Time has become my mortal enemy.
A whole world to walk silently alone,
In fruitless reflection of what was.

The streets are fully empty now,
But I can still hear the traffic.

As you take your children down the history without and in us
We fondly and times somberly reminisce with you 
When it was just dad, mum...

'the Reason Why'

I walked around the halls of school in constant fear
Considering I had no friends; My foes were always near
Harassed daily, abused physically and mentally

Estate Sale

Estate sale, treasures only to those who once lived here. 
Stories long ago forgotten, maybe to never be told.
A somber event, people move wordlessly, occasionally whispering a “sorry” as they wait on the stairs.

Blaze

I had the nicest rooster,
An Orpington named Blaze.
He was around for several years 
Until a fox ended his days.

His feathers were burnt orange,
A handsome shade of buff.
A pair of deadly spurs
Made him majestic, fierce,and tough.

In the most solemn garb, as...

Autumn breezes signal October's arrival
with windswept revelry they blow. 
Golden leaves, like confetti, flutter aground.
Bare maples stand, and at their feet a carpet,
emblazoned in russet, amber, and crimson.

October offers bountiful treasures from the earth
Fields and...
