My poem shows no gender
no color of self.
Just words standing on their own merit.
Vibrating from pen to page,
page to eyes
eyes to readers heart.

My poem written with intent
will not tell where I lay my hat,
or financial status.

Vibrating from visions to mind,
mind to moment
moment to dream.

Its content of words
strung like pearls speak truth
and that is all that matters.

So read on and dance
or perhaps praise, or cry
in gallery of words
It is my gift to you.
Just playing with words that flow in sparks of thoughts.
You stare at your own work until you hate it,
Sit for so long you forget why you waited
Hold your tongue instead of speaking your mind
Longing to move forward, but remaining behind.
You're only as rich as you feel
You're only as well as you live
You're only as loved as you linger
You'll only have what you give

You're only as full as your plate
You're only as good as your last
You're only as fast as your finish
You'll only have what you have asked
Can't lay claim to the first line as I overheard it.
The irony of love.
Without hesitation,
we would take the bullet for the one pulling the trigger
irony love

Raven
A shattered heart
A single tear
And the shattered
 remains
Of a family
This one isn't about me, it about one of my closest friends, an I know that she will probably never see this...
Dear her, I cant fix it, but I can help you survive this, and I'm sorry, but know I'm here, and you will always be family to me, I love you.
yesterday i met
a boy
with pretty blue eyes.
