like tormented Reese,
haunting memory’s...

Reaching OutWhen I'm in doubt
You'll see me reaching out
It's not for clout
It's words that I tout

But I try to do better
I want to be a record setter
Like a real go getter
When everything...

ProdigyA son embarks on
The worlds wanders
Triumphant in his dreams
Swallow’s unrelenting blunders
Mother hugs him
Father gripes
Our only child
In the war of stripes
Elicit drums beat
For his fight
Mother loves him
Father loses sight
Their only son
Shot down today
Mother cries
Her...

Though I'm not sure how this could be so
For if I've authored...

Heart Gentle, Eye MindfulWanting blindly, even good
Seldom have few understood
Is ineffective
If one's doing's misdirected
Be the gentle heart well-guided
Not with eyes that are short-sighted
But mindful and wide
Else be intention misapplied...

enough to have faith in your belief?
Do you know enough to know

Disobedient teach
Wrath having no respect
Adjusting atmosphere elect
Bells and Tolls
Scorns in thorns
Fire in anger
Life’s short moments
Whom in doom
Happenings centered at noon
Tolls for you
Didn’t pursue
Earth craters separate
A world full of hate
Human Create
Doom on the hour
Time...

And shattered fragments
She has jagged edges
That splintered my soul
She has wounded me
And my scars healed
With drops of her sealed
Embedded forever
I shouldn’t have peered
Into the hole...

The Gun ShopThe gun seems gun-shy in this space
where deer hides hang on rustic walls
and granddad-tick-tocks beat, instead
of hearts in hollowed skins. The gun

a loud-mouth predator at rest,
this motherless,...
