I probably won't be in your history books Nor your top charts Nor your favorite reading nooks But I'll be in your hearts. You'll find me there with a candle and a pillow Maybe even righting my next rhyme. I might ask you to climb the tallest willow or simply if you have the time.

I probably won't...
The Mind of a poet is not easily found For it can swerve it's curve at the edge of a sound. It's as if they hear the trees speak, please, from forests now drowned. Each poet should be downed in crowns for the things they found. Not treated like a stray wolf who was sent to the pound.

The Poet's Mind
Late night scribbles with late night riddles maybe morning made dribbles with half thought out middles whether it's wood you whittle or a cello you fiddle it's never too late to jot down those scribbles.

Jots with dots
From the center of my mind To the tips of my fingers I sit inside and find that mostly love now lingers. But the tips of my fingers feel like slamming the keys No longer able to hide this rage in my soul All that I've been longing for is peace to free However to some, I have a heart of coal My intentions are just that is for certain It's breaking it feels with every thought I've put myself behind this mentally ill curtain For this type of enlightenment is rarely sought The paper, or web is greater in this matter For hurling my words to silence my own chatter To put my mind to rest Seems to me no simple quest Maybe I am slightly mentally ill... But least I seek not of an overseas ****

{Insert appropriate title}
Often I see people flee, seeming to conspire in their own vanity It seems, simply to me, that such people crush to deny vain insanity
