Cause and Effect

Your calm betrayal
forms rivers of crimson tears
that stream down my cheeks.

Your rabid fury
cleaves trails of searing anguish
that blaze through my heart.

It started with me
creating a false idol
in your likeliness.

Perpetuated
by your homily preaching
of a twisted grace.

I shouldn’t have knelt
to worship at your alter
of fallible love.

Table Etiquette

I flick the eyeball.
Dad scolds, “Don’t play with your food.”
Donner Party brunch.

Science Friction

Friction can be tricky
if not applied correctly.

None -
creates a slipping hazard on ice.

A little -
causes a blister on your heel.

Too much -
results in the collapse of a relationship.

But just enough - 
will ignite a fire
(outdoors to toast a marshmallow,
or in your soul to propel you forward).

Just A Reminder

Cherish who you are
‘cause on one can replicate
your true uniqueness.

Reflection Haikus

Look in the mirror.
Who is that weathered, old man
staring back at me?

When did this happen,
Life replacing youthfulness
with experience?

Do others see me
as an aged progression 
of who I was then?

Or as the version
I have now morphed into -
an antique vessel.

But mirrors don’t lie.
They just show the reflection
of a true image.

So, if I embrace:
“Who I am, not who I was,”
then there’s acceptance.

That gives this old man,
the one with weathered features,
permission to smile.

Shine On

Even if obscured by overcast weather, 
the full moon 
still radiates. 

It maintains a steadfast presence 
until the building clouds, as they always do, 
are dispersed by the wind. 

Then the night sky is illuminated once more 
so those fortunate enough to look up 
will be in awe.

Ignore outside forces 
attempting 
to lessen your uniqueness. 

Reject negativity, 
both external and internal, 
that questions your worth.

Share what you have to offer 
to shine on others,
like a full moon.

What If It Wasn’t A Dream

People want a life
 with imagery similar
  to that of their dreams.

They wish to replace
 the everyday, mundane grind
  with nocturnal views.

But how do you transfer
 all of what slumber concocts
  over to your waking hours?

The answer is easy
 but hard to initiate -
  Just get out of bed.

This stops the dreaming
 and starts the changes needed
  so you’ll feel alive.

Opening your eyes
 let’s you see the wonderment
  that’s always been there.

That which can be dreamt
 pales in comparison
  to that which can be achieved.

Life has vibrancy,
 beyond imagination,
  if you go live it.

It’s Inevitable

Always remember:

Dreams become reality

once action begins.

I, Object

How many stories need retelling 
for this object to achieve sentimental value?

Does importance have an expiration date 
that’s reached when no one‘s left to gather in celebration?

How many years must elapse 
before this object becomes a family heirloom?

Does perpetuating an affiliation to the past 
become burdensome to those living in the present?

How many memories are required 
to turn this mundane object into a cherished keepsake?

Does nostalgia become obsolete 
after multiple generations are gone?

Is my legacy inevitably doomed
to suffer the same fate as this object?

Gardening For Life

Hate poisons the soil
containing the seeds of Hope
you planted today.
