So many unfinished projects laying about, clustering my office with their frizzy voices all screaming, “finish me, finish me… finish me!” Inside my head another voice rings out, “lazy, unproductive, product of depression, and utterly useless.” Then at times despite feeling out of control, lazy, useless, depressed, I have to make a 180 and help…

Wishes Don’t Fix A Thing
I will never get back that time, Those years I wish I had, To be present with them I missed them so, Now they are grown, They don’t know who I am, How much I love them, Is lost to explanations of why I wasn’t there, Present with them, Oh, how I wish I could…
Mad Mother
Knows whats it is like for five minutes to be a father, Knows whats it is like to have child torn away, Knows whats it is like to live ten minutes away, Knows whats it is like not having visiting rights, Knows whats it is like watching offspring grow up far away, Knows whats it…
Preparing for a New Feast
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.
