When the sky grey,
    the sun has gone down
you fail to find your way
   all thoughts clogged in the head
and you can't hear a clear voice
   vision is biased and speech is altered
hours of introspection seems void
   all you need is just a solution
to put back jammed things in motion
   looking for people to help you,
and when you can't find some, my friend
   just grab it by its glossy waist,
lift it, put it to your thirsty lips
   and pour down your throat this solution
for your heart needs an internal repair
   to lift you up from this momentary dispair
When all problems pile up in a sum
the only solution that works is the *** !

Ink staining blank pages,
sentiments caught fire

blurb in the moment,
a notion for the ages

simple inspiration's  nectar,
provocation's bedevilment

mockingbird of emotions
all that is sacred and trivial

tempting a blind ear to hear
invoking silent eyes to see

tainted lips to sing for eternity
asunder notes of parchment

one's own big blast of creation

You are more beautiful
Than the dying lungs which gave you life,
That now are taking the very thing they gave you.

You are so much more than this disease
That with each aching breath is
Betraying the body you thought you knew so well.

We won't be angry with you
When you take your final sleep,
We will breathe a sigh, as you will be free from suffering.

You are more beautiful than that.

A new day

Rife with possibility

Insert some new tranquility

Into your mind


A new way

Of looking at the positive

Believing life is causative

A new lens we must find


Truth is

Difficult at times to discern

But even so down deep I yearn

Now to make headway


Love is.

So don this mask for now, shall I

And in the face of fear I’ll fly

For today's a new day

Her perfume smelled of cheap Musk,
      tobacco and passion flowers,
the scent of betrayal lingered
         long after she had retreated

I will lay me down
And bow my back
To the point of breaking
So I can be your bridge
To better things

Rise O’ sun, please come and rise
Bring your light to morning skies
In pastel colors, pink and red
So she will wake this weary bed
And I may see her beauty true
Illumined by the glow of you
I long to gaze her perfect eyes
*So rise O’ sun, please come and rise
Good morning Beautiful

Bee Orchid

In a limestone meadow ,
near a quarry by the sea.
There grows a beautiful Orchid,
that looks just like a bee.

After summer solstice,
standing in full bloom.
Like natures beauty queen,
every head turns in the room.

Whenever I pay Homage,
while down on one knee.
I capture an image,
for everyone to see.

Among the sandy rocks,
against the odds it grows.
Slim  chance of survival,
as the North wind blows.

Maybe we could learn,
from this special plant.
No matter how stony your life,
our inner beauty we could grant.
