(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…

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…
Admonished To Wait For Love
Streached out ghostly arm Attached to nothingness Everything misty white While trapped in everlasting fog Reaching out into reality Fading before my eyes Her ethereal arms wrapping around me Yearning to entwine with my soul Reaching out into my entwined heart My spirit yearning to escape Desire burning inside Wanting, needing, burning Dreaming of being…
Woman In The Lake
Standing at crossroads, Journey through your dark eyes, Delving deep into your soul, Lost in love, Paying every toll. Willing to give my all, Y’all can’t judge me, My love isn’t for you, Nor for you, It’s meant for one, Her soul ensnaring mine, She’s so fine, Like an expensive wine, Indescribable beauty radiates like…
Tiny Hand
Your little hand wrapping tight around my finger, Bright blank eyes seeing only dim light, Fogged images, love melding us, Forever locked together, Father and son, Bond forged in iron, Locked behind gilded lock, Key and die set for eternity, Sealed away forever in our hearts.
