When the emptiness,
outweighs the content
The wind,
—forever ceases to blow
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
Had all wild animals the smarts,
They'd surely know it in their hearts,
That living in the manner mild,
By far outweighs the running wild.
You’ve got heart ill give you that
Any sane person would have given up by now
Not you though
You just cling on like the pain outweighs the prize
But in the end even the hopeful give up
If forced to measure the cup
Quid pro quo my darling, yes or no?
Press play.
Caught within an erotic cold war,
control.
It’s not acceptable to bend the knee,
break it.
My desire outweighs your defiance.
Give in.
It’s our sinful hierarchy of hunger,
my dear.
The weight
of what I
haven’t done
far outweighs
my past
Those things
left vacant
on the shelf
of what I left
for last
Excuses
linger
as empty
choices
following behind
Reminding me
of what
I’m not
in content
— and in kind
(Dreamsleep: February, 2025)
*Based on True Events
he chose to be under the moon
where the sunlight couldn’t convince him
that the quiet pounding in his chest
was once hers. His pain outweighs
his fear and he gently nudges the chair
under him. his desolate heart breaks one last time.
his body sways the winter’s night
shine
on, my
brightest star-
my gold stardust...
for you’re the wonder that holds the sky up
your kindness outweighs all the world’s riches
crave my tame touch
quench my thirst-
you're my...
home.

The internet is humanity’s greatest invention
It connects us all and keeps our attention
It has so much to offer, too many things to list
It is truly, an extraordinary gift
While the internet is not always the greatest
And there are some very dark places
I think that the good outweighs the bad
And for that, I am glad
Willed
Vague sword
Weak heart and sight
Boundless wisdom, although
My soul has full enthusiasm
Body growing old and becoming weak
My resolve outweighs the bullet
Reeled swilled
Billed.

not taken into account
years spent together
creating supposedly
unbreakable bounds
that were supposed to
last
not taken into account
years of unconditional positive
regard shown
negativity outweighs
positivity
this should not
be the case
but unfortunately
this is the reality
in which we find
ourselves living in
We need something
We aren't afraid
of
We need something
We can hold onto
All of this
life's
consequence
Weighs heavy
on the brain
Change is good
But change
is hard
Necessity outweighs
comfort
Freedom isn't free
It takes work
And our last
breath
Should Always
Be
Free
As obvious as the summer’s moon
Full of hope and expectations
Yet clouded with uncertainty
Sailing on the sea of dreams
Waiting on the banks of exploration
Teasing time with sore of agitation and pure innocence
Till patience outweighs arrogance
And the moon ushers in the twilight of hope
Behold, the fruit of the womb
Alas, the dawn of reality
Tomorrow left abandoned
with every choice I make
Constricting all potential joy
and limiting my fate
Each short term indecision
restricting unrestrained
My future playing out of tune
a timed and dull refrain
Most often I have missed it
when no outweighs a yes
For temporal gain my judgment strained
—an orphan in regress
(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)
The birds are busy and the chipmunk play
For them, it is a fun day
Raindrops fall intermittently on leaves and ground
Acorns bounce in the grass to be found
Only a little yellow of autumn’s color has begun
Still shining wet, without the sun
Even on a dim day, shining things can be seen
Like every caring gesture, that outweighs what’s mean

Even though my body
is filled with pain
In my pain I feel a
praise and a
overwhelming joy
My body may be
hurting but my soul
is at peace
My joy outweighs
my pain
I find true happiness
is not in what we have
or how we may feel
Everything we have is
because of God and
having Christ as my
savior is the greatest
gift of all
"s.o.s."

Sin only shuns
Satan owns society
Stress owns success
Success offers selfishness
Selfishness outshines sight
Sight outweighs spite
Something overwhelms solidarity
Serenity only succeeds
Streaks only sustain
Simplify our situations
Sheep only sleep
Stand only strong
Sacrifice outweighs sovereignty
Supplies omit savoring
Semantics over syntax
Salvation obtains survival
Just the slightest touch of your strong hand outweighs
the stress of my days.
For I am your warm blanket, encompass me,
affection are we.
Fear not all the pain that we’ve had to endure,
embrace my allure.
Just the slightest touch of your strong hand outweighs
the woe life conveys-
set my heart ablaze.

Killer whales but do they actually kill?
Killer sharks; I have seen Jaws. I am a believer.
Killer bees. I do not want to know.
Killer cats? I can picture them now. Eating the heads off
Like they do with mice and voles.
Killer dogs?
Are you kidding?
Mine is sitting in my lap.
A Great Dane who outweighs me.
The only way he would kill someone would be if he rolled over on them,
Wanting them to lollygag and play.
Like the heart that got washed away by the sea
Like the blessings shown on us flying away
Lost love crumbles before us which cannot be
The need outweighs the displeasure of each day
But life ceased the unified heartbeat within
Time made these broken links, knocking off our grin
We were once inseparable, but now moved
Like stars in the sky falling, they’re disapproved
Russell Sivey
Based on an old relationship.
If asked, what could I live without?
Love would not make my list – up to
my ears in years of loveless hearts,
cold to the touch, insensitive to the
word...life without love seems deathly
absurd!
In fact, on my scale, compared to each,
love far outweighs even death's unseasoned,
tasteless reach: taking everything while offering
nothing in return – to my mind, the flavors of
love, always worth every risk of terminal
heartburn....
I hired a robot
To write poems for me
Now I'm able to rhyme
In modern technology
Though his imagination
Isn't quite up to par
The relaxation I get
Outweighs it by far
From 0 to 1
To 1 0 1
He likes to write
In binary bytes for fun
As long as the rhymes
Keep flowing from him
He can have all that is mine
From the head of my pen
If all this goes well
We'll just wait and see
But I might even hire
A robot to read poems for me
So fragile and so delicate sparkling in the sun this crystal glass with glistening rainbows, left here now are none...
Broken bits with tiny pieces lying on the floor my shiny crystal glass, no rainbows like before...
Sometimes our lives are shattered like the crystal glass I had, but knowing life as we do the good outweighs the bad
So I swept up all the pieces and forgot about the past and with that too I tossed out my pretty piece of glass
Out across the water
and down around the bend
is a place I've not yet seen
and a shore without an end.
Once you get to that place
just out around that bend,
they'll be another distance
to that shore without an end.
Life is a lot like that
as you're at that certain place.
Reach out at opportunity
and don't give up the chase.
Achieve the goal before you
as the distance you do cross.
And when you reach that shore,
you'll know that gain outweighs the loss.
Weed Be Gone
A warning to guys who smoke weed
There’s a consequence that you don’t need
Research tests show the answer
Was testicular cancer
And that is bad mojo indeed
So guys if you must smoke the weed
Remember when you try to breed
If you love making shanks
You might be shooting blanks
With equipment that’s not up to speed
Don’t let this news be a buzzkill
Smoke ‘em it that is your will
But just be aware
You might lose the pair
To me that just outweighs the thrill
