What Makes Me Smile
What makes me smile? A touch, a glance,
The quiet strength in someone's eyes,
A blooming thought, a second chance—
What makes me smile.
A sunrise through the window tries
To light the sheets in soft expanse,
And hope returns in whispered sighs.
Though pain may linger, still I dance
In dreams where healing spirits rise,
And every breath becomes romance—
What makes me smile.

He Died For MeMy gosh! Oh how can it be
That Jesus suffered and died for me?
God the Father sent His only Son
Once on the cross the suffering begun
Jesus lifted His eyes to the sky
In His heart He asked the Father why
No answer came, He hadn't a clue
When the answer did come
Jesus then felt brand new
For all were saved...

A Version of MeThere is no strength in fear and flame,
naught but the bitterness of blame,
which leads us all to guilt and shame,
finger pointing and naming names.
Better still our hearts to open,
forgive and live with hope and
honest emotion,
a chain of grace unbroken,
positive words to be spoken,
and put our heart into motion.
Easier though to give anger it’s head,
to wish...

Abcedarian Poem Because it is Great Practice for Mearistocratic antelope alarms and annoys
blue-eyed baboon’s billy goat buster
causing confusion, consternation and crying
distressing and disturbing deliberate donkey
egg-producing egret elevates enthusiasm
forever frolicking in farmer fred’s pastures
giddy goats gallop in garnished with garlands

intense iguana ignores idiocy of inmates

In Stars AboveI’m in an open field,
beneath the heavens and the stars.
I pour out my heart in song,
while the river of my grief flows with turbulence and turmoil.
I look up at the sky;
in the stars, I see hope.
In the moving clouds, I perceive a passage,

You Mean Something To MeI can tell through my emotion that you mean something to me
The way i feel cant be put into words but only actions for you to see
There's many who have made some type of impression on me
But is it what I'm looking for or who they think i want them to be
I have my own...

Know Me, No MeYou don’t know me
You don’t know me
You believe you do
You don’t know me
You say that’s not true
You don’t know me
I hardly know myself
You don’t know me
I barely hold myself together
You don’t know me
I don’t know whether
You don’t know me
I walk the night
Can you even see me
I scream through the fright
Do you even hear me
Or I...

Where the Thorns Remember MeDate: June 17, 2025
I wandered through a bleeding dusk,
the wind forgot my name.
A rose was growing from the dust—
I reached, and it became
the fog that hums like swallowed screams.
My lungs forget to breathe.
I taste old blood beneath my tongue.
Each petal cuts me in my sleep—
what did I dare believe?
Each step I took was stitched with...

The Man Who Taught Me Words(For Uncle Charles)
He stood before us, chalk in hand,
A quiet man with eyes that understood
More than the textbooks ever could.
"Read this aloud," he’d say with a smile,
And somehow, my tongue found courage.
Each word he gave me became a window—
And through those windows, I saw the world.
He was more than a teacher—
He was a compass when...

Where Fantasy Forgets Me"Sometimes the softest dreams unravel into ash."
My mind walks landscapes made of ash,
where stars collapse in whimsy’s flash.
I reach for light, but it turns to dust—
a mirror cracking from broken trust.
A hallucination holds my hand
and leads me through this haunted land.
Here, love once bloomed in endless spring,
now silence grows in everything.
The bones of joy...

Tumbling rolling like a stone !
Yes. going on my own :
Independent, frolic free
but not in glee
I'm not feeling fine !
Yet my life is mine.
