youth owns the future

                       often neglects tomorrow

                           young days to borrow...

Shattered shell the pieces settle, succumbing to time
A spell so subtle.
A fog of complacency numbs the scrapes
As tendrils of memories seep deep-
Tunneling down twisting hard narrow vessels
Until the sickness settles.
This heart will stop-
When healing neglects....

My grandpa treats me well
He loves me
He treats me with kindness
He is kind to me 
He is happy 
I am happy, I love my grandpa


My grandpa treats me horrible 
He “loves” me 
He neglects me 
He is scary to me
He is always angry 
I am scared, I hate my grandpa...

The Dreamer the fantasizer the Old Soul the caring the loving the sweet the innocent the beautiful soul

The one that cares too much the one who gives too much but always neglects himself 

The poet the artist the writer the dancer The Storyteller the actor the drawer the painter the singer the musician 

The emotional crying broken Pisces...

A-nchorwoman of TV news 
L-ets you know the report;

G-iving nothing but her best, 
E-arly twenty-third of January.

What's gone before consumes the now,
if he happens to allow it

What's yet to come torments his mind,
if he happens to permit it


He concentrates on uncertainties,
incites his own demise

Neglects the most important time,
until he finally dies


The end will come regardless,
of how he spends his time

Ignore the possibilities,
for instant peace of mind....

What could they be all about?
I'd tell you: For what we'd scout,
When our passions for them shout.
What groups cannot do without;
Once one neglects each a flout...

Cash crop farms say fertile lands,
The Builder Mason Good Sands,
Marching-to-War Soldiers: bands,
The Ring Fighter: two hands,
All Seasoned Smokers: their brands,
Newspaper Vendors: news-stands.

Book of Records: What is grand,
South Africa, now: The Rand....

She loved me
I loved her
She gave me all
I played her like a ball
I neglected her,
As a girl when she grows neglects her doll
I left her hurt
I broke her heart
As long as I live,
Myself I will never forgive
Clear rejection I gave
Now she will hate me until I go to the grave
In her heart I've now been banned
Insults, rejections and cursings I have earned
I loved, hurt, broke hearts, lied and now,
A hard lesson I have learned.

The world is of many,

Young, old, rich and poor.

Yet some have no more than a penny,

But the rich still desire more.


Some have access to everything,

They are surrounded by maids and riches.

Yet most are surrounded by nothing,

And find themselves living under bridges.


Governments do the opposite of protect,

Greed and wealth run through it's veins.

The poor it constantly neglects,

Yet it charms them during untruthful campaigns....

What is love that neglects to share
one final glance when parting or
a peck upon a furrowed worried brow or
simply a hint of a goodbye tear 
so dearly needed.

What is love that even at its least,
has no gentle caress to say hello or
even a squeeze of hand or
perhaps a smile.

What is emotion that never stops to
ask why sadness leeks through every hello
and screams from silences
too often, no, always ignored.
What is love that forgets

all these things?...
