Oozing Insecurity
Liars spend their days
touting insincerity
oozing insecurity
Do they stand a chance
when their tongues
no longer dance

A little lie, like a thin veil covering the truth in the night of crystalA little lie, like a thin veil covering the truth in the night of crystal,
A little candor, like a moonbeam gently piercing the darkness,
Forgetfulness does not weep, for tears have dried on the cheeks of lost memories,
Folly doesn't hurt, for it remains like a shadow silently slipping through time.
So many falls into temptation happen, like...

Without Regrets What Have I LeftThe end of days is a term
Dark enough
To make men squirm
And real enough
In a way
To make one consider
His final day…
Without regrets…who’s to say
And doing so I must look back
On what I wrought
And what I wrecked
What I built
And what I broke
What I gave
And what I took
Then the book that tallies sums
Finds me wanting
And then some
For...

The relationships I deserveInspired by Healing of Childhood Wounds. Don't mistake Connection or Familiarity with Love or a Relationship. Just because we have experienced Chaos and Heartbreak as "Normal", doesn't mean it's Good. Love shouldn't give you Stress, Anxiety, Pain, Emotional Upheaval or Confusion. Love should feel like Calm, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Safety, and Home.
The relationships I...

Haunted By YouI am not letting you rent a space inside my head.
No, you are not living here no more.
Stop running up and down in my head.
You trampled my heart, step on it.
Now you're coming in and out, up and down in my head.
Leave me alone, I am good on my own.
I want to...

Peas In A Pod
I'm not like you
you're not like me
on that
you and I
we can agree
but
strange to say
and there's no mystique
Snap!
we're really all the same
in that...
we are all unique!

The Mirror’s Gentle TruthWhen you stand before the mirror so still..
Do you count the years, against your will?
Trace each line like a fading chart..
And mourn the youth that did depart?
But what if mirrors told the tale..
Not of what's gone, but where you prevail?
Not just the texture, time, or trace..
But every triumph you now embrace.
The silvered reflection that greets...

A Final WordI left because my body broke,
And weighed with grief, my spirit spoke.
I told you oft, I made things clear,
Yet pressure came—not care, but fear.
No shame I bear for what I owe,
I acted true, as you well know.
The key I left, the money too—
What’s lost beyond, I never knew.
I paused before I took my leave,
Awaiting peace...

Midnight BlueProud warriors of black and white
Debunk the bad extol the worse
Your Che Guevara shirts fit tight
I’m not a customer of those
You cannot take me for a nation
Considering the hues I see
I’m wrong in your simplification
With which I strongly disagree
I see more colours of the spectrum
Won’t pick the one you use for me
I note...

Drug That Heal Wounded GraceGrace is a free gift
That cover up all drifts
Even in its own shift
It troubles logical thefts
Truly, in problems, it seems there is no grace
Or you think many are out of space
May be its remains are of trace
Meant for those who set the pace
Working grace is for all
Just that many don't listen to its...

The Naked Truth - Bawdy limerickEach summer I sunbathe quite nude
Onlookers gasp, they think it’s rude
Cos I'll open my thighs
To deter pesky flies
I'm thankful my spouse is no prude!

To fade awaysomething really familiar to my soul
to be stranded in a place
where memories are made
where memories are cherished
with pieces of the heart
not really broken
but rather tainted
from the unspoken truths
that are hidden from the time spent
with the unspoken love
of the future longings...

When the Truth, LiesIt's brought to you
as if sincere,
"The News"
truth be damned!
Knowingly false,
the agenda, deception
without compunction,
to what end?
Now its up to us
to decipher,
when the "Truth" are really lies!...

The Heart of PoetryI think at times
I am unfair with poetry,
wanting perfection
I am not -- wanting poetry
to clarify, purify...as though
poetry were independent
from its source
alas, poetry is only worthy
as its loss....
