The Writer's Way

Words flow from her fingers
like the notes a songbird sings
With those words, she paints for us
haunted hallows and broken wings.
Images showing pain endured
and obstacles all lives bring

She creates beauty and wonder
and worlds of...

Time Flies When Your Having Fun with Children

Who is it that you’ve become?
I closed my eyes just one time
And you shot up by at least two feet
Now you’re a familiar face filled with moody angst

What kind of sick trick is this?
I closed my eyes for just one second
And you dare ditch...

The Hunt

The forest at dusk is a prison of shadows,
souls fleeing with hearts beating in panicked flow.
The trees are bars, trapping us in a hell that lingers,
their branches reaching out like gnarled fingers.

The birds’ cries have become our demise,

Foundation

I am government cheese
Spaghetti-O’s with peanut butter
and a glass of Kool-Aid, please.

 
I am trailer park life
humble and friendly,
with a will to survive..

 
I am the grassy field
where all are welcome to play
the fun, my knees...

Going Home

Dark thick ashen musk,
cozy and familiar
A dozen loves packed so tight,
one must go outside to change his mind
Making the most of the few moments
stolen in the name of unity

Chatter commotion and cachinnation
bulging at the seams,

Ghost

I’ve never and always been alone
surrounded and abandoned
all at once
Silently screaming
at the angels and demons
upon my shoulder.
Once in a while, my voice escapes
and for a moment
I am heard
but remain...

Your Time is Not Mine

Time is a funny matter
but it is not a laughing matter

Its power is momentous
just one single piece of it
can alter life as you know it

In its cuffs, we are imprisoned
forced to abide life
at a speed of its choosing

Eyes of youth...

Home of the Selective Free

They say that freedom is not free.
But what’s the price, the cost, the fee?
Is it your freedom at the expense of me?
How many forced births will there be?
Save the unborn while kids bend at the knee
pleading with gunmen to have mercy.

Anonymous

Her perfect life is on display in a museum of deception
Viral sensation
Influence teen nation
This standard they must attain
To be loved;
To be worthy;
Everyone is perfect.
Not a flaw to be seen
When you can be anyone you want to be
