of seven
hard-fought contests

to birth a son
finds them with five girls AND
a first

Day Off

O glorious day off
it's you that I've sought
you are the payoff
of a week, hard fought

You fill me with cheer
after many a mile
And now that you're here
I awake with a smile

Hard Faught But Still Caught

Hard Fought But Still Caught

Remember seeing some things sought;
And for them I had fought and fought;
Brave had been,
Again and again,
Even though eventually still was caught.

These Woman

They are the softeners
Voicing breezy sweet.
Alleviating all at once
Living; and its heat.

Softeners; strengtheners;
Shady tree's head-rest!
Dulling the twin pains beneath;
World's; its hard-fought test.

To Climb a Mountain


                      Snow capped mountains...Ascending to the skies

                                    Gods' grace awaits...Praise him

Vote

Today is the day
Where we all get to say
Who makes a change 
And 
Who won’t 

Take a good friend
Or one on the mend
As long as they intend 
To vote

It’s not just
Our right
It’s
Their hard fought fight
We owe it to all
So
LET’S VOTE!!

Oprah Winfrey

Opening minds to change

Perishing painful remains

Resolving love and hate

Acceptance permeates

Helping pain abate

Winning hard fought wars

In opening new doors

Never shown before

Facing what is past

Reaching to outlast

Everything untrue

You did it OPRAH – You

Beauty

So, what is Beauty?

One may say
it is the rose

another, perhaps, would say
luscious lips, and a cute ski nose

a loving mother would say
definitely her children

a proud father would say
his horses and hard-fought
land – 

God will always say
His Son

and His Son 
called Man

Akkina Rosario Downing Quotes 

What great comments she had made;
To rest them that she said has laid;
Opinions are our own
Even if bare to the bone;
Wrote more poems sitting in shade.

Laugh a lot and in mouth don't
let my foot get caught to avoid
the rest of the onslaught hard fought.

We Stand Together

Who would have thought
We'd be standing here today
This road was hard fought
We made it anyway

Now we stand before God
And we start our new life
As we battle the odds
I'm glad to become your wife

I vow to love you
You vow to love me
To honor and cherish
And to love eternally

As man and woman 
We stand separate
As husband and wife
We stand together

All I Am

all i am
is played out in song
of what i have 
and haven't got
from the outside
may not appear a lot 
but all i am
has been hard fought

all i am
in the sense of it
never one
to ever think to quit
not one iota
not a single bit 
all i am 
is all i'm meant

all i am
this side of life
is the question of 
and the reason why 
to say and do
to do and die
all i am
is the open sky

Beautiful Insomnia

Underneath bottle caps of 
Black and tans lies
A broken tragedy,
A hard fought battle of wit
And staring contests
Between myself and 
The bottle
Between myself
And the green stuff
Between insomnia and addiction.
Shady characters disappear
Into the mind
Of the mentally touched,
When days and night morph into
One entity and this,
Reverse coma
Takes control,
Regardless what’s prescribed.

No Happy Endings

I believe there are no happy endings
Just the honeymoon of happy beginnings

Ultimately we end up losing
While they collect our hard fought winnings

Eventually everything ends and everything dies
Sadness then spreads with following cries

Is true love real when it’s destined die
When one half grows apart spouting devious lies

I believe there are no happy endings
Just the honeymoon of happy beginnings

Release

I allow myself to dream,
To be in a state of the 
unknown. 
I allow myself to wonder,
And to realize that I am all 
alone.
Walking in the shadows,
Lingering in the past,
There is no way to know
How long this feeling will last.
I walk to find freedom,
A release from  the chains
That binds me in this man 
made kingdom.
To free myself from pain
A hard fought journey
Never to be claimed,
And yet to remain unnamed.

Summer Dreams

Silent thrills 
dream love novels
fit for Oprah
and yet fit for 
prison;
serving a life sentence
for being unable
to comprehend 
the world and its 
dry smoke
grassroot
reality.
A hard-fought
battle of wit 
adds jet-fuel
to the flame
of emptiness,
nothing burns
nonetheless, taking
with it images
of Barbie dolls
and night-dividing
days filled with
never-ending
commandment-breaking.
Time is exiled,
the present is past.
The future is now.

Tormented Poet


When words have fled there's empty space That echoes with nothing deemed stellar No simple idea to embrace Profundity gone it seems forever. When chaos of life has intruded Thoughts scrambled into tangled web Creativity lost as mind's eye brooded Blank page ignites emotions reason fled. Ocean waves ebb and low with ease Tormented poet desires tranquil pen Dexterous words make readers believe Hard-fought verse is legacy for men.

Long Time Gone

She sings along with that song
Taking the long way
She gets that 
The violin melody of a hard fought harmony
She'll find a place to belong
But eventually her roundness
Her loudness
Finds her falling out of space
And she never fits in the square pegs
She begs
Borrows, but never steals
She believes in the commandments
He isn't here anymore
Killed millenniums ago
But love lives forever
Eternally
A long hello
And she finds forgiveness
Never says goodbye

Scap

Scrap
Ends of complex strings woven through years, just now unraveling
Me, no scrap of yarn to roll playfully around your hands
 While time allows your soul to slowly cast new stitches 
Onto differing sized needles with expected uneven tension.
Please knit your practice scarves without wrapping me
In the acrylic offerings of your heart
Mine has paid time for many rows complete,
To keep my hard fought cashmere soft I cannot chance…
A spinners wheel that yields yet twine.

Once a Soldier

once a soldier, a brother a spouse
a father, a buyer, the head of a house
one winter month on a Valentine's day
a very long time since you went away

a son, a lover, an ornery pest
a fixer, destroyer like some of the rest
blamed it on battles, long over- hard fought
scars there are many from turmoil they brought

a legacy of anger and one of despair
a legion of others who've also been there
a memory that lives, well instilled in a child
maybe not deserved, but given with smiles
