A Mountain - Haiku

My soul's made of stone       
From triumph to tragedy      
A mountain has grown  

This stature my own 
Forever, stoic forces guide 
'Til peaks fashion thrones 

The angels have flown       
To wherever, without doubt   
Mountains stand alone

Yellow Mountain Clay

want a metal detector,  
I need to dig things up.  
There's so much in the dirt,  
and I can't get enough.  
   
All that was left behind,  
has since been immersed.  
Forgotten graves deepen, 
in time's cyclic curse.  
  
Anywhere I step,  
others stepped before.  
For lifetimes upon lifetimes,  
in times of peace and times of war.  
  
I regularly find remnants,  
memories from days lost. 
Folks before me must of known,  
i'd get to them at any cost  
  
From old poems to ancient hills, 
down to the thick West Virginian clay.  
Fragments of my forefathers exist,  
to learn from them all I pray.

Ma

He didn't even try to hide it.
Just thought i wouldn't notice?
His wandering eyes in front of me,
a blind person could see.
But he could care less either way.
He probably slept with Emily today.
And tomorrow God knows,
how far he'll go,
or where he'll be.
At least he won't be near me.

Of Mountains

My soul's made of stone      
Through triumph to tragedy      
This granite strength's shown      

All angels have flown      
To wherever, with no doubt      
Mountains stand alone      

Stature like my own     
Forever, storms come and go 
I go with shalom

Of Stones

My soul's made of stone 
Through triumph to tragedy 
My granite's strengths shown 
The angels have flown 
Wherever, I never  doubt 
Mountains stand alone 
No chance can be blown 
My duties are set in stone 
I'll reap what i've sown

My First Haiku

God set my path in stone
through the mountains, into the valleys
fate forever steers

Wish List

I want to experience freedom like I have no masters
to experience life like time doesn't exist
to live humbly and die gracefully
to accept who I am and be proud
to never cry out loud

A Fish Without Water

This house doesn't need ghosts to scare anyone 
The walls take sanity for fun 
They'll hex you with whispers in tongue 
Arrive with confidence, you'll leave with none 
The longer you stay, the further undone 
The air stifles, it thickens and numbs 
It weighs down on you like tons 
Constricting every cell, it stuns 
Skeletons in these closets tote guns 
Heat comes at you like fire from dragons 
I mean heat like the fury of a thousand suns 
Your mind weakens and maddens 
This house kills souls like it's a soul assassin 
A suffering only the wicked can fathom

Ashes To Ashes

Why speak
when words become weak
and everything you want is in the darkness
and you are forever alone

Happiness will never meet you
and your prince will never seek you
You will die unknowing
from your heart with blood flowing

Beating and pumping
all of your life into nothing
You'll be a stain on the soil
until dust in the face of turmoil

A Walk Through Ruins

How can I define to you in a rhyme 
My pain, melodically, nurtured by time 

How can I make anyone feel what I feel 
When all I know are lies, how can I make this real 

Let me bring you down with me 
As we walk through the fires, tell me what you see
 
Give me 18 years to destroy your worth 
I’ll be in your brain til you regret your birth

Let me throw you to the lions blindfolded 
Stand your ground, see how long you can hold it 

Let me sully all that surrounds you
You’ll thank God for the worst you've been through

Only when your life hinges on hiding like I hid 
Will you be capable of knowing pain like I did
