Man on the ledge,don't move to close to the edge.Simmer down that ball of nerves.Men of

do.Your choices now are very far and few....

When my time has finally come
When it’s time to leave this earth

Don’t let them watch me simmer down
Guard the memories of my prime
Don’t let death
Be like watching someone drown.



RIP Dad

  awake
to a bouquet
of possibilities 
     when hate
     when hate
     when hate
                abates...
