Life is a battlefield
This life is a fierce battlefield,
Little did I know before my birth,
My weapons should have been better honed,
So no earthly force could conquer me.
Friends I made while I was nobody,
Turned to foes when I sought to be somebody,
Those I loved with all my heart and soul
Blew pepper in my eyes when vision blurred.
Deceit

Lost
The sun sinks low, the shadows grow,
No moon is out up high,
A chilling breeze begins to blow,
With stars up in the sky;
I wearily wade my way in

In the Hours Between
It was in the morning
When I heard him snoring
Like loud like a lion
He who falls from my eyes
Every sense feeling nonsense
Early lights in goosebumps
Served myself a red riddle
Leaving me tortured and energetic
Shooting my lungs to no air
My kidneys helped me breathe
Each cough counting complaints
In a peaceful war against the

Pains with no reprieve
You take joy in seeing my heart bleed,
Because of your avarice and greed.
The pains you caused come with no reprieve,
Yet you’ve the audacity to leave.
I invested every ounce in you,
Your ponderings control all I do.
My bitter cries you heedlessly sought,
Yet you’re blind to the hatred you brought.
How can your mind ever be at peace,
When the

Aches and Pains
Aches And Pains
Aches and pains.
They never go away.
They greet me in the morning.
Always suffering.
Hair turning gray.
I’m showing my age.
Played hard as a kid.
Growing old, I’m now paying for it.
Aches and pains go away.
Take it easy every day.
May need a walker and a cane
Just

Aches And Pains
Aches and pains, pains and aches
Is this what old age is about?
What about sailing off into the sunset
Instead we complain about gout
It hasn't been bad at least not for me
Been one of the fortunate ones
Count all my blessings every damn night
Each morn I welcome the sun
Why me I ask, how come I'm the one
Escaping old

Lost Love Pains
Her golden dreams have disappeared,
Leaving her heart drained,
The echo of his sweet voice keeps her
awake,
Lost love pains and lingering longings
ache.
Waiting for the light of morn,
It’s so different from the old
norm,
Whispers of sweet nothings
all gone,
Old memories nag, but she fights
hard to stay strong.
Her broken heart is irreversible,
Imprints of happiness he

Growing pains
The clues
Words in the news
Protest
Unrest
Angry people everywhere
Seems nobody does care
Words flung
Stung
Full of dung
Promises made
In time fade
Wanting a better day
Just can't find our way
So here we stay
Good man gone bad
Feeling like he's been had
No difference between right or wrong
Trying just to stand strong
World's tension is about to break
Someones bound to make a mistake
Snap
Crap
Screaming for

Growing Up Pains
Growing eyes
Feel growing pains
Too thick
For a beating heart
Growing bones
See fearsome terrane
Too rough
For each foot's counterpart
What kid really believes
Growing up will be so hard?

Solitude
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,” - Lord Byron
