The Ruts in Life

A stagnant routine
Stops happiness…depresses.
A heart changed enjoys.

Once and awhile we come across a problem,
it takes control of us,
depresses us.
Some how we come through,
we solve it,
show it that it wont disturb us any more.
we are strong,
and always will be....

visions of himself
a life of broken fragments
palette toned sepia.

a sense of menace
depresses anticlimax
master of his moods.

he realizes
not all quests are quixotic
some are doomed to fail....

at one end
a finishing
crack actually
only a hair
line fracture left
of the sound
hole
of my old
mandolin

depression
era circa
1930's depresses
me even with
one string broken
soft pick
strumming her
pear
shaped body...

chilled by winter

    the cold air seeps through my bones

        ...I await the spring


winter depresses

   the cold suits my very mood

        ...I long for the spring


winter begone now

   I have had enough of you

      ....I crave springs warmth...

Science's 
And our World's 
Great Minds
Thinker's 
Mathematics 
The purveyors 
Searchers 
Answer providers 
Live a different consciousness 
To us mere mortals
I wonder if the more the brain can comprehend 
Fulfills or depresses them 
Like trivial pursuits 
Drown the bleating Sheep...

Winter’s chill pierces my frail heart
My shallow breath could cease,
Ere spring arrives, I may depart
For the sunny islands of Greece.

Beautiful Kythira
Cenozoic era
Lovely riviera

I dream of the Aegean Sea,
Winter’s chill so depresses me.

Staring through these bloodshot eyes
Your face still comes to mind
A vast plague of infinite loss
Death settles in on the conscience
Slowly the light depresses down into overwhelming darkness
As the people cry for God’s mercy
But mankind’s endless sins prevent God from hearing their screams
All people soon lose hope
And parish in the eternal flames...

Mother’s Day depresses me
because the way Mom sees me

when I came home from service
she rarely gave me notice

and labeled me not normal
never was an animal

she always looked down at me
to her I shouldn’t be free

is it some kind abuse?
she was very nice to Deuce

Deuce was her old friend
my life there to end

I feel guilty for having these thoughts
I always knew my life at home rots...

Lay me down, so I can rest my thoughts.
Untie my arms, so I can hold you tight.
Tuck me in, so that I can sleep.
And kiss me softly, so that I may breath.


Lay down my body,
Now my thoughts can rest.
My soul is now free,
And my heart not depresses.

Give me a hug,
And kiss me goodbye.
So now at peace,
My spirit can lie.


~Written in mid-2003 when I was fourteen/fifteen....

Classic rock bands and hilarious comedians all use to entertain me,
but now when they perform ancient relics are all I see.
If you're an old time singer or comic celebrity
here's some advice from yours truly.
Continue releasing your records but don't make appearances publicly
because you've all gotten old and if the truth be told it depresses the hell out of me.
It sure is a drag this thing we call mortality....

Snow falls with my dreams;
Happiness isn't what it seems. 
You see the smile on my face, 
Not even suspecting that it's fake. 
Christmas comes along with tears, 
Broken promises, unforgiving fears. 
For most, this is a happy time; 
For me, it just depresses my mind. 
I need someone to spend the season with; 
Someone to cuddle, to hold, to kiss. 
It could have been you here with me, 
But you met her and decided to leave....

Breeze is the message 
Send in the beak of the dove
By the supreme god.
It's the warning to the
Hard and ridiculous minded one
And wishes to the innocent pearls.
A change in the eyes and
The glow in the heart
Is by the breeze, 
The hand of god.
The omnipresent god
Is flowing as the breeze.
It never depresses
But encourage the helpless.
But villain, 
when will you understand the breeze
Of the omnipotent god? 
Whatever the breeze is, 
It's the secret 
Of the almighty....

What is it you must feel
Must think, must say
To see yourself through each and every day?

To cope with life's stresses
And daily depresses
What do you do to clean up those messes?

What keeps you happy?
What makes you fly?
What keeps that sparkle so bright in your eye?

Is it me, is it them?
Or maybe just a friend
That helps you to feel
That helps you to mend?

So next time you feel down
So sad, so blue
Just remember I'm here
Standing quietly next to you....

Autumn sneaks early into September
With cloudy days and cooler temp,
A feeling of fall in the morning air
Arthritis is back, causing me to limp.
Thank goodness for dear ol’ Ben Gay
With his sweet smell of peppermint,
He helps me make it through the day
By applying his soothing, minty scent.
The pain is real, the ache depresses
With stiffness that won’t go away,
We all have those minor distresses
Unfortunately, Arthritis plans to stay!
