Did you see the daisies turn their heads to the sunlight this morning?Watch the blue birds sore across the morning sky?Did you kiss a child good morning?Or war against the world with your bad mood? Is your early fight for the coffee? Are you a zombie, groaning and slugging on, without it?Do you rush offContinue reading “Did You Miss It?”

To Fly Free
Watch the bird soar through the airSo graceful, calm, and freeIt need not worry of predators belowIt’s high in the sky, in flight and free So graceful, calm, and freeCould a ground’s prisoner ever achieve?That high in the sky, in flight, and free?To feel the wind rushing past you? Could a ground’s prisoner ever achieve,RealContinue reading “To Fly Free”
Robbed
She can’t see her beauty.Robbed from her eyes like a thief in the night.She looks in the mirror and sees only her flaws.What confidence she had is gone.Her smile graces her lips no more.What beauty is there in a broken heart? In the soul, feeling unwanted. No one would turn their eye to her invisibleContinue reading “Robbed”
Swamped
Swamped. A marsh thick with swirling fog overhead, weighing down rest and trailing weary.Wet. The water, the muck, and the bog that tears and pulls at your feet.Tall rooted trees extend above, green and luscious casting shadows upon you. Where is the light that needs to shine through? Duty. A job to be done, musclesContinue reading “Swamped”
Writer’s Dominion
To command a pen, to glide on a page.What freedom there is that you can control.The will of the wind where it would,The current of a stream, refreshing, refined.A power to command kingdoms,Your will is the law. A written page forever spoken,Lies rebel fire or flooding rain.The ash of death or washing away of theContinue reading “Writer’s Dominion”
The Best
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was.Training, running, fighting, trying, I’ll beat my way to the top.No one can stop me, no one can harm me.I’ll be the best there ever was,I’ll take first place, you’ll see, it’ll be easy. Battle me all you want,I’ll win every time.Sweet, sweet, sweet victory,Continue reading “The Best”
Trust
You can’t trust what you can’t see,Life hides the path and hidden the key.An open field so warm and soft,Then sparked by fire, a deadly cough.Open the heart, let someone in.Dance and laugh, alive again.Until an action’s a dagger deep in the back.Bleeding on the ground, it all goes black.Hardened and shielded and locked inContinue reading “Trust”
Metronome of Memories.
Walking through campus and what do I hear? But a metronome screaming in somebody’s ear.The closer I get the ground starts to quake.At the powerful rhythm many drummers did make.At their sight, I can only smile.They brought up some memories that’d been lost for a while.Of a cool, stormy night under a harvest moon.Where thoseContinue reading “Metronome of Memories.”
Loved
Midnight, the air is tinged with the scent of death.Living coward in fear as blood washes the streets turning everything red.Kindling a wildfire to rampage the streets, a man destroys all that is loved.Justice to be done in the heat of the night,Ignorance or refusal drops a man six feet into the grave,Heavy sins pushingContinue reading “Loved”
