Realization is anything but beautification, It all comes with a price more expensive than daily sacrifice, Sick, standing at the edge, Looking over feeling belly bulge, Down below an end, Is it my end? Step forward and find out, Whispers the voice of my out, Stay and find out, Whispers the voice against out, Two…

Breathing in the Throws of Emergency
Inward, outward, life exists in this moment, Foggy glass tells the story, As misty fog envelops the fingers trail, Drawing through each misty breath, The image of each moment, Drifting along imaginations limitless bounds, On stretcher looking upwards, Concern etched on faces, Beep, beep, beep, the monitor speaks my souls output, Each passing second a…
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…
It Is But A Journey
Walking down the trail alone, Dreaming of times long gone, Molding the future ahead, Looking Death in his lonely eyes, Forging a friendship with him, Hardly know who I was, For I have lost myself on the journey of time, Who am I? Who am I? Oh… who am I? Walking these lonely trails, Up…
Watch Relief Late Again
(I am a sailor, and have stood many Low Visibility Watches where my relief never showed, here is a glimpse into what it is like to stand freezing wet for your country, starving and alone, in the fog that travels the ocean blue.) Standing watch on bow, Waves splashing to and fro, Soaked to the…
Future Moment
Closed eyes drifting in silence, Listening to the echoes of beating heart, Dreaming of long lost dreams, Cast below the water, Into the muck, We become more as we grow, Into the being that takes us further, Past the moment, Into the future, Hold the moment they say, For the future is unclear, Yet, is…
Speed of Rage
Burning rage fuels the speeding train, Rushing one direction to the end, Racing onward life passing passengers by, Unknown destination only to confuse, Those within riding the rails of whim, Forgiving to forget, While forgetting to live, Hurting inside, Yearning only to discern, The why, how, why, Me? Only today as the steam pours, Onward,…
Life, A Little Less Fun
The term adulting became popular later in my life, this is a soft play on my experiences and how I would describe them as ‘adulting’. A little later on, Lights already on, Writing out hooks, Plotting out crooks, Payments a lot overdue, Landlords pocket wet like dew, A.M. burning the candle at both ends, Working…
Poet Traveler
Living as a poet waging war against emotion, Toeing the line against life’s locomtion, Aggravated until exacerbated, Motion activated, opening memories till, Faster than lightening, Capers robbing emotions caravans, Traveling through life, Mastering the commerce of the soul, Traveler resting weary soul, In the bosom of imagination, Which fuels the poet, Through each war that…
Long Term Relationship
A wise man asks questions, Listens to change his own mind, Accepts his world has flaws, Organizes his resources in order to care for those he loves, Prepares for tragedy, While living as if tragedy has happened already, Treating peace and war time equally, Working to protect, All the while caring for the causes, Continuing…
