A window closed, Curtains contain the foggy exterior, Inside an empty house I stand, Now ready to expand and grow, Sludge hammer in hand, I begin the renovations, While memories and depression pound at my door, I paint and decorate, Filling each room with unique life, Dancing about on happiness, While singing with the morning…

A Circle of Dreams
There I sat alone atop a hill, Below in the valley of memories stood turmoil, I turned around and beheld a blank canvas, Looking beside me a bucket of paint and a single brush appeared, Stroke after stroke I painted my dreams, Envisioning a life full of communication and happiness, Friendships budded and faded, Relationships…
On the Other Side of the Morrow
Live for tomorrow, Burying your head in the future, Call son, come as you are, Into the land to be, Remove your helmet, Here have a beer, Sit with me, Set your feet up, There you go son, Let go, Live for tomorrow, Feel the breeze that hits you, That is future’s fan fare, The…
Two Sons
Facing you son, holding you in my arms, The bright light I saw, The love I felt, Never to melt away. Son, you filled my face with a smile, Your little hand grasping mine, Our love connecting that early Autumn Day, Hospital room full of glee. You won so many hearts that day, I’ll always…
Family Time
Grind’n down that block, Ol’ cheese, McDonald too, Skateboarding down Kentucky Avenue, Unlock that Oley, how’s that view? Grandpa’s shop, out back, Whacking on this and that, Black out, head count, that playboy magazine, Playing heads and toes, she’s got a lot of that. No worries, everything’s as it seems, Grandparents getting down to that…
Madre, Madre, Madre…
My sweet Madre, On my memory wings, Floating through remembrance valley, Your heart and soul, Sharing mood with me, Smiling as we fly, Just you and I, My beautiful Madre, Flying on happiness, Floating down sadness, Carrying each other through madness, Taking hands everyday, My gorgeous Madre, Your smile shining bad moods away, Your heart…
Thoughts
Produce life only for it to be torn from you, Taken from father, tears tear bonds, Waiting in the court que, Only to be found, Guilty of human qualities, Cash gone, housing lost, Picking up pieces, Offspring always on the thoughts.
Departure
It is with sadness I depart, To fly off paved tarmark, Soaring high and homeward bound, To my old home town, Vast is the feelings, And in truth there is no telling, How I will miss you so, Leaving my family behind in winter snow, Merry were the holidays, Building everlasting memories, Blessed were we…
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…
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…
