A snow falls on this season, Introspection at the close, Cold sweeping thoughts, Wisdom comes at Autumn’s end, Old man rises up, Answering trumpet call.

TRAPPED, but letting go.
The truth hurts deep inside, I let you walk all over me, I let you take our kids away from me, My life hurts, I can only imagine how much you hurt, I can only imagine how your heart burns, to reek revenge on me, For how I hurt you, Everyone see’s but you, The…
Feed me that phych’a’delic
(Trigger Warning: Suicide ) All ready to die, Take me on to the edge of suicide, All ready to die, Take me on to the edge of suicide, baby, Take me on to the edge, Take me on to the edge, Onto the edge, Onto the edge, Take me baby, on that deadly ledge, Deadly…
VETERAN
Boots on my feet, Living a hundreds of fleeting dreams, Memories float like stars all about, Catching glimpse of an old me, Young, fit, and motivated, Standing out, shining bright, Medals that mean nothing, Awards for jobs well done, Paper trails everywhere, Automatically judged and alienated, A lot of us get caught by drink or…
Muster
Mustered faith in row and line, Demonstrated firing line, Round-about, marching in time, About face, I hide behind my mime, Rifles here to there, Sand bags protecting my theater, Fortified side by side, Standing forward and back, side by side, Shipmates surround me, Battle Buddies confront me, Sacrifice and honor, Honor in face of sacrifice.
Mustard Seed of Life
Entranced in life, I sprout like a mustard seed, So small and strong, Brushed about the ground by wind and storm, Lightening flashes all about, My house made on sand sliding all about, Carried through the desert, Beak breaking through, Dropping me among a throng of stones, Still unable to take root, God’s finger moves…
A New Man
Take a break with me my friend, Come with me to far off ledge, Envision your house afar, Far away across the horizon, Built sturdy, steadfast, fortified, Legendary made to house your kin, Wine cellars, vineyards, and an orchard, Tree’s for miles, Not a neighbor in sight, Your days spent in isolated delight, Friends come…
Mental Intelligence
Some sense, distorted time, Illusion presence, twisted rhyme, Soul forgotten, lost perception, Intelligence mastered, dumbfounded vision.
Distant Love
Looking into your eyes, Long has it been since I saw them, Your photo held dear to my heart, Your voice a trailing memory, But, still my love remains, Growing each day, As you grow behind curtains that never open, Your stage a mystery to me, Growing into a man, Your the star that never…
Redemption
Often I write from a place of depression, Exhaustion weighing down my soul, At times unaware of my existence, The Universe’s gravity pushing me onward. Saddened by loss, Grief overwhelms me at times, Regret fills my cup, And water turns to vinegar in my throat. Mentally ill and losing my toolbox, My hammer often hits…
