I RAN
I ran not out of fright, I ran not because I was chased. I ran not because I felt compelled, Nor from some urging to flee from something or someone. I ran not because others did, I ran not because I'm an idealist at heart. I ran not because...

Whip
I need a break, a minute’s breath of space; The furious tempo driving me along, a fussy temper, fervent all day long to strive, stress, toil, scramble to keep the pace— —the pace of a spent poet keeping face;— enough to numb a hand that once inked strong words, and made paper sound loud as a gong.— and what a base...

An ode to my radiant self
I radiate my inner glow— like a well-polished precious jewel, pleasing to see, with graceful height. My handsomeness: a masterpiece of art, driven by keenness to shed excess fat, yet I still stand out like a star in the crowd. My eyes radiate warmth that melts ice— as deep and mysterious as a star-filled sky. My smile, a...

The Beauty They Feared, The Light They Lost
This is the story of a woman unknown. On top of green hill that rose above a village There was a tiny white cottage that sat for all to see The clouds brushed on its roof And green vines ran up and down the walls This cottage was the house of a woman named Unknown She rose early in the...

When Words Fly Back
With care, I craft the words on the page, but I see that they loathe being in this cage. Too often, they break out of formation and run everywhere — such disorganization! I wonder if I should set the words free, considering they’ve already done so much for me. The next day, carrying a heavy heart, I tell...

Today I Live and Write
Today I live and think, Of all that could have been. A whiskey I may drink, To drown what I have seen. Greatness is what I seek, Yet despair is what I’ve seen. Hope is heavy, silent and sleek, Yet this burden is my sin. I choose this path to stick, Worth it all, if I can win. Today I live and write, Full of...

Value Of Music To Me
I really like to listen to music when I do home chores: It inspires, motivates, relaxes, recharges me Staying alone, I put headphones in and think When it's bad, when it's good, painful, joyful, When in doubtful, anxious and loneliness sets in It helps thoughts flow in the right direction That's the right thing I do, I feel...

Watchers in the Gloom
To that shadowed city round Come those that are sorrow bound In their multitudes alas Through a Terminus so vast For a city grim enabling Their eternal laboring From the parapets looking down Cold and timid souls abound To shed their tears in torment rife That shed they not for all their life And from the masses on the wall Does that gentle misery fall It...
