Nacre to Nacre Within

I plunge beneath the tide of the restless sea.
through corridors of green where shadows lunge at me;
the water’s pulse warps what I can see,
each beat a thrust towards my fate's mystery.
Silt now erupts, choking faded memories,
Shells lock shut, like vaults closed by ancient decrees;
I probe for grit wrapped tightly in silver coat's gleams,
With a silky

The Mirror Ascends

forest limbs swing wide
tails vanish betwixt the leaves
hands learn to hold stones
muscle and thought entwining-
shaping the first fragile edge

soul entered the fray
moulding spiritual form
eyes afire with zeal-
humanoid stalks the garden
a king calling the beasts names

flint sparks in cold caves
shadows dance on raw stone walls
stories find their voice-
the stone mason stands upright
stone flint and fire seize

But Now I Can't

I ain’t gonna to prison babes, for something I didn’t do
O’ no babes, not when the real blame all falls with you
You left me loving you, yet ya destroyed all of my trust
Ripped my heart wide open, then you left it in the dust

I can want you as much as I can want you, but

YOU WALK WITH ME

(based on Psalm 23)
Verse 1
I don’t need much — not when You’re here
You find me a place where the noise disappears
Grass under my back, sky overhead
And quiet water where I clear my head

Verse 2
You don’t push — You wait, You breathe
You let me rest, You let me be
Then You point out a path I can

Haunted Highway

All my life, I've bled my mind
It's painful and it's tolling
Cuz all those dreams I left behind 
Is why my head keeps rolling

Chorus:
There's no free rides, they say
No free rides will be coming your way 
No free rides today 
You know you still have to pay...down this haunted highway 

I found no reasons in this

Knew too much

Alberto Nisman didn't know the danger he would enter
when he looked into the bombing of a Jewish center
He said president Christina was hiding the truth
he had the goods, would soon show the proof.

He was supposed to appear in Congress, but hours before
Somehow hitmen got by his door
He knew too much, so bad guys moved fast
If

Until Then I Will Love You

Verse one:
One day when all the air is gone
When the stars grow where the trees belong
I will still love you
If there comes a day when all is gray
Cause to the moon, all colors ran away
Oh I will still love you
If suddenly pigs really fly
And broken hearts don't make us cry
Don't you worry, I will still

Still, Love Keeps Walking Barefoot

Still, love keeps walking barefoot, though the sky is in shreds,  
and the baker swears softly while counting his breads,  
though the dogs in the square bark at storms in their dreams,  
and the saints in the church spill their wine into streams.  

The moon,  like a coin someone lost

To Jan from Jan Allison

Lyrics Totally by Jan Allison

Take my hand

Yesterday you lied
Yesterday you cried
Yesterday you wish you died

Today you sit
Today you quit
Today you have no wit

Tomorrow you keep
Tomorrow you weep
Tomorrow you may even leap

Take my hand

I insist
Don’t resist
Let’s persist

Together we’ll band
Together we’ll stand
Together we’ll never land

Dance with the Devil

Lost souls would amount...all the scrolls would say
Were held in account...there on Judgement Day
Now dues must be paid...for their mortal sins
God's mercy would fade...as the Devil wins

Chorus: Dum dee dee dum, dee dum dee
Dum dee dee dum, Dance with the Devil 
Dum dee dee dum, dee dum dee
Dum dee dee dum, Dance with the Devil

Street Life Pitbull Thug

(Intro)  
Yo, I got scars on my knuckles and dreams in a duffle,  
Life gave me lemons, I sold 'em in a hustle.  
Mandy said “swing by,” I said “bet,” no delay—  
But what happened next? Man, lemme just say...

Verse 1
Mandy told me to stop by, I pulled up in Crocs,

Popeye and Olive’s Spinach Spree

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man
I gulp spinach straight from the can
I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I am—
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
I’m strong to the finish,
’cause I gulp down my spinach,
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!

Now Olive Oyl, she made a vow—
“No spinach for me, not ever, not now!”
But she’ll kiss me tonight,
’cause

The Distance Within

2025 Poetry Marathon Mile 6 Poetry Contest// Sponsored by: Mark Toney 
( 7th Place ) 

Written: August 10, 2025 


I run the miles deep within,
a subdued race, an unspoken intent,
devoid of spectators-- no finish line,
just breath and heart, both entwined.

The shades lengthen along my path
but still a soft dawn finds its way turning into gray.

The Intensity of Inner One

Close your eyes and hold breath
Count to ten and leave in air,
I think you can feel rest on tenth
Indeed,it's how you feel layer.

The inner layer of own mind,
In the deep ocean,you suppose
If you dive,you can see many kind
Of fishs and flora,and rise with close nose.

And again dive in it to see,
But I think you feel
