WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTERI didn’t want to light the flame,
But damn, you handed me the match.
We played a bitter little game—
Now neither one can scratch the scratch.
I offered peace, I begged, I tried,
You laughed and chose the sword instead.
So now the happy parts have died—
I burned the photos in my head.
The goal was never you or me,
It somehow...

the more we realize we are all one family
and this planet is our home.

WE SEE LONDON DAY 1
After 22 hours in planes and a ride on the London tube
our adventure in England had begun…
We met Bryan, Ali and Ava at our hotel…then it was off to have some fun.
To fend off any jet lag…we didn’t rest…we got going quick…
stopping for some French Pastry…which, by golly, did the trick.
Next it was off to...

TranscendenceRecognising thought and senses as veils,
to exit this maze where dream forms amaze,
we enter staid silence whence presence sails,
in the vast void, invoking grace that stays,
pastures of bliss, upon which we then graze.
Bliss too transforms as peace beyond space-time,
where we as living light, heavenward climb....

Dear Poetry SoupDear Poetry Soup,
I have known and enjoyed you since 2021
I decided this would be a lifetime connection
As you were personable, special and so much fun
When l first met you were friendly and comforting
You felt like home
But sadly you have changed of late
You are distant and our relationship is now unknown
Poets have become discontent and restless...

I'm Done ChasingI give you space then I notice I'm back in your face
Things are not the same and I'm the one left to chase
I realize how silly I must look when I plead and beg
There is no way to take back the words that I said
I'm not getting no where so I'm done chasing
I'm the...

Jealousy of My PainI say it this way because I'm just trying to be happy
I don't wear a sad face because my life is crappy
Haven't you heard it said to turn your pain into power
Think about every rough seed turned into a flower
When you look at me you think I have the best life
You would never see...

Things Have ChangedThings have changed and you don't feel the same
Just showing affection to each other feels strange
What have I done to make you become this way
Was it my pass mistakes and the things that I say
Maybe the interest is lost and you can't tell me
Even without your saying so it isn't hard to see
Is there...

I'm That HouseI'm that house who has been on the block for years
Who have seen many parties and lots of tears
I'm hearing rumors that I might be put up for sell
Different types of notices coming in through the mail
If only I can make the decision or be given an option
I don't want people fighting over me at...

The WomanThe Woman
Come on now and pull your socks up - Pull yourself together,
Think of your Ophelia who needs you to get better.
Will you be or won’t you be - Just make your mind up quick,
Avoid the fate of people who don’t understand the trick.
Revenge is sweet, or so they say, but it is...

We Take Things For GrantedEvery breath you take isn't good to take lightly
Every near death experience teaches that slightly
We're shown love from our friends and families constantly in every way
We take their presence for granted thinking they'll be there everyday
We take our five senses for granted and don't view them as gifts
We live life like its guaranteed...
