Simply This
Simply This ~~~~~ Could I withstand a thousand blows, while they brought me to my knees? No matter if they’re real, metaphoric; it’s all the same, to me, if you please. It’s not my body which must survive but my spark of spirit carried within. We see people who suffer every sin, far greater than […]
Day for Night
Day for Night ~~~~~ My life awaits the light of day, though it is not currently night. By day, I mean knowing the way to turn my darkness into light. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. […]
Till Next Time
Till Next Time ~~~~~ Recently, I’ve struggled, trying to write, All the words I choose simply take flight, And my love of the page I cannot requite, Though I try and try with all of my might. Love isn’t claimed or conquered by force. Still, boldness is often required, of course. Could be fighting a […]
Just How It Goes
Just How It Goes ~~~~~ I’m an old white guy, I shouldn’t rap. If I even try, They’ll call it crap. But I am troubled, In every way. My stress is doubled, On every day. Terror and fright On the news, Each and every night, But not my views. Toil and strife, It creeps inside […]
WWWWW+H
WWWWW+H ~~~~~ Who are you, when you’re not truly you? Who do people see, when they’re with you? Who would you be, if you could be anyone? Who is it, others have chosen you must be? What will happen, if you don’t like yourself? What role do you play, do you play the most? What […]
Blue Screen Cafes
Blue Screen Cafes ~~~~~ What do expect, from texts, Just the usual suspects? How would that be, With life the fee? Head down, Smile or frown, Attention, intention locked In a little box, a pox. Yet only letters in a row, Like any word we don’t know. Shorthand, perhaps, But often slaps. Is there reason […]
Ever Live in Fear
Ever Live in Fear ~~~~~ How will we decide what to do, what to think, what we’ll think, In a world of conflicting opinions, way too much information? While we caper and cavort blindfolded, oh, so close to the brink, Believing we’re so ordinary, nothing extraordinary can be done. When actions are performed beyond the […]
Brightly Blaze the Stars
Brightly Blaze the Stars ~~~~~ Mentioned rarely in polite conversation, I follow you around. You will never see or hear me, because I never make a sound. Unknown land where I will someday lead you, an adventure; Sometimes I’ll snatch you unprepared, curtail your time here. Still, whether slow, sudden, I choose always the correct […]
As All
As All ~~~~~ Captured the cosmos twinkling in a tyke’s eye, today. From somewhere foreign, immersing us in infinity. Religious, political refugees swallowing us in silence, different, skin, class, orientation defined. Strange, strained, altogether alien, fascinating but frightening. So similar, still, Dissimilar, diverse, exceptionally enigmatic, leaving us lost, besieged, bothered tourists in transit. Realize we […]
No Matter How Long
No Matter How Long ~~~~~ If tou finally own your creation, you suspect life knows. Path ahead should be clear, no-one stepping on your toes. Not life, it does not work that way, a game of yes and no; Life sometimes tells you stop and sometimes tells you go. A game, a carnival ride, a […]
