Blessing, I can say
I still have my share
Simultaneously
Curses upon curses
Slowly strip me bare

Beautiful dreams
Mixed in nightmarish themes  
We've all met the dark
With the voiceless scream
No one immune
To this dysfunctional maze
No one gets out alive
Of this breath taking play

Oh but from the heart of a child
It was every bit worthwhile!

This is why you're not good enough
That's something I've heard people say
I used to get angry or cry
Now I just laugh and walk away

Because I know that same mean voice
Has all those same mean things to say
Even when they are all alone
And there is no one else to hate

The things that people say to others
Are what they say to themselves
The things that people criticize
Are what they hate about themselves

So I walk on because I can
Not everybody has that choice
They'll only hurt me once but they
Can't walk away from their own voice

That one boy
 May 2018 Hedgehog

There is one boy
That I'll always admire
His wavy ash brown hair
Gentle, warm loving eyes
He's but a lost memory
A blast from the past
Still each time i see him
I just wished it had last
He doesn't stand out
Quiet and meek
He stands to the side
As he rarely speaks
Kind and pure
Its quite odd to see
But I still remember a time
he got hurt and bleed
He's in love with the colour green
Wearing it everywhere he goes
Its quite literally
On everything he owns
He's afraid of hurting others
Straight forward and honest
But no matter what happened
He always keeps his promise
Incredibly bad with words
He stumbles and falls
A strange personality
He's really is a little oddball
Tall and attractive
A fairly cute face
large toothy grin
His messy hair out of place
Though time has moved on
We forgot one another
same environment
yet so far from each other
When our paths cross ways
A cheerful smile floods his face
he rapidly waves at me
He has me in a daze
I send a bright smile
And a small little wave
No words spoken
As continue our day
A boy and a girl
Both childhood friends
But as time ticked by
that all seemed to end
Merely a small interaction
Though we are no longer the same
Allows my heart to feel satisfaction
Even when nothing else remains

He's that one boy.

He's that one boy I'll always remember
As he will always have that little place in my heart
Even if we have drifted apart
Choose your own adventure
Make your own imprint
To some I am a warning
To others I’m a hint

I am an innuendo
An oblique shaded tint
I’m exactly the kind of thing
That makes you bite your lip

I am constant happening
Susurrations in the breeze
Prodding notions raw emotions
To see what you believe

I am chance. Care to take one?
Do you like the odds?
I’m a clue. Care to buy one?
To pull back my facade

I’m a coin. Care to flip me?
Is it heads or is it tails?
I am choice. Care to make one?
Which of these two trails?

A wink, a tinge, felt on the fringe
Like cobwebs in the woods
I’m an omen still unchosen
Am I bad or am I good?

Much has been said
against me
however,
I will not be spiteful
or allow hatred,
the beast of darkness
that resides
in the black jungles
of arrogance
and ignorance,
to infect me;
for that is no reason
to give way to anger.
So I refuse to let anger
ugly my heart;
for anger
is the scorpion’s poison
of peace
and love, it’s sunlight.
I choose light
contentment and happiness,
as poetry’s not a contest
of winners or losers;
it is the essence
of a poet’s soul.
Peace, love
and harmony
reigns over
anger, hate
and contention
