A wolf simply barks, yet blood flows from his jaw The sweet crimson copper gently runs down his mouth as he walks away A man grabs at his heart and without a wound he cries in pain The wolf stares with an emotionless fierceness The man consoles the wolf as it, in spirit only, transforms into a pup Yet the wolf lashes out in spite of the man The man walks away but does not break his gaze as the wounded creature crawls away The man only hopes that the wolf may one day be whole, for the man can never be so without his friend

The Wolf
What brings us to the end We choose our goal We scrape past the bend We pay the toll Faith makes us fixed Fear makes us fail The chances mixed Good, bad come as a gale We are not what we thought What brings us together Tears us apart Either gone forever With fond memories Or never together As we fall on our knees Days make us small Months make us strong Years make us tall And roads make us gone

Roads
Have you ever sang a song? Not behind a stirring wheel But for a crowd of patient swords Caught with uncertain appeal The judgement of lords Have you ever sang a song? Not for simple pleasure Cut the soul of simple wards Fought for undying tressure Broken and alone just wondering chords Have you ever sang a song? Not for lonely gain Mutt lost without idea of where he goes towards Thought of necromantic pain No hope of moving forwards Have you ever sang a song? Not of misery and despair But of a foundation of strengthened boards Got a future with everything to gain A life with endless reward

A Simple Change
Rich of red and orange Immaculate October Sky of graceful peace

The Setting Sun (Haiku)
Different is synonymous with undesirable An egg hatched by the wrong bird The story of an ugly duckling Ugly because he is difference Environment defines what is attractive A monkey in a gorillas cage will seem weak Even a lion amongst deer will be rejected A diamond amongst plastic is an outcast No matter how beautiful we are if we are in the wrong place we are ugly To be where you do not belong is to always miss a home never known A longing to be free from the bonds that keep us down To leave, to run away into the darkness in hopes of a better future To smart or to scared to give up what we have for an uncertainty We struggle to grasp at straws when we seek to conquer all A ugly mess today A beautiful arrangement unseen But tomorrow when none are left to mock We stand seen immaculate, pristine in the light of freedom Everyday a new chapter With every chapter we are given the chance to end the book Or we can write a story worth reading

A Fish Climbing a Tree
To question and think what if? A incredible motion of guessing without definite answers A game played by two A game best played young An articulate waltz two stepping in and out of comfort Professional amateurs one step confident the next shy Weighing the costs and rewards of bravery Most would rather pick up a sword than a pen Unreasonable fear to do what most have done The desire to be alone whilst seeking help from others The one thing that science could never explain The one thing we want to keep a mystery The fondness of another The hardest step, the first With this step comes many questions Does she see me Does she see how I look at her And how does she look at me With intense anxiety we force the first step To find peace and joy in another The warm embrace that none another could provide And the release of anonymity

The Melody of Wonder
Two worlds we see but but chose not to acknowledge One of truth and one of impression One of the mind and one of tongue The uncomfortable truth that we are not who we say Wood does not become a chair through words but by labor Grain does not become bread by command but by task And neither does a man care by claiming to A word is only moving air Its impact negligible Its significance alone, nothing Its use, only to remind of something once done One lie is told most of all from day to day by us all The lie, the word, the essence of what has been but was lost This is love No other word has the potential to mean so much Yet is used without depth or meaning A tool of deception A tool of control The carpenter is one who wishes for what once was The buyer a creature blinded by hope To instead act in love without the word Truly if the bond is real neither will seek an empty promise But instead will look in awe of the truth that is shared Reality is can be seen easily in silence But is distorted by well intended lies Emotions invoked by words help us believe what we want Instead of what see to be truth We hide behind a curtain of denial

Empty Words
Lifeless you salute A statue of wood A phoenix in the cold Moving only to the music of the air Stoic you stand mocking the world For you watch as things come And things go You stand together You stand alone Set apart from the world by your uniqueness You are strong But still you die To be born again in the sun of spring

Lifeless
My heart is melting Snow could not sooth the burn Alone and surrounded by people None can see the battle inside Wolves fighting to conquer With a smile I slowly fall Fighting with everything to stay a float in an open ocean Miles and miles there is nothing I wait patiently for rescue But those that pass see no struggle I can not call out because of pride and fear My brothers and sisters I know at times you are here And when you feel that you are sinking remember, Remember you are never alone And nothing is permanent Life is always flowing and ever changing Tomorrow will always bring light with the rising sun

Rip and Tear
You look an untold age When I look through you I see only mystery A body so young And a mind so wise To understand the translucent shadow A pawn staring at a giant Incredible power diluted only by your surroundings I see you time and time again But the shadows hide me from your sight The light you shine is a plague That spreads to all with an open mind You are a wild stallion trotting where you please A gate holds you that one day you will jump Unbound you will run free No one will slow you Impossible to predict your course But you will roam at the top Free from any chain For now I walk in the shadows One day I will dance with the angle The heart is a scary thing The distraction pure beauty The curse is loss The gift something worth caring for Angle you play a melody to your father In one hand you hold a key to unlock peoples hearts In the other you hold a pen to challenge ones thinking A pedestal you stand on for others to observe
