Caught my heart upon the shore
Skins of shells unfold
As golden reflections of pearls emerge
My fingertips lace with the sand
Beneath cracks where my reflection lay
My mouth is contorted and ripe
The flesh of my body is warm with light
On the coasts of your curves
Riding the waves as they crest and ebb
Trembling with a rhythm that enchants the petals of my rose

As her blonde hair twirls into the sun
As he spins her, her dress looks like a kaleidoscope
They dance as he strokes her face
This love is not easy to find
There seem to be no sounds
On the wings to set sail
I want to collect a future for you and me
Through continents and back home
When shifting winds grind at our core
Infecting our love but rage we leave alone
Like cracks in a sidewalk, we all have flaws
As the years move on our backbone begins to descend
We still make love, but with the sounds of our voice
We smile at one another, daydreaming about the past
We're growing older as our eyes become cloudy
Our memories parted ways
You looked so heavenly that morning
I became fearful without you
You're the lace of a golden summer
The stillness in the sea, weary and forlorn
I take comfort in knowing that we cherished every day
The steps that we took through changing times
We were together, I don't regret a single day

Puddles of blood,  making the leaves red
A muted soft rain flowing
With sparks of stars
Blackbirds are shy tonight
Purple blotches on her face
As her lifeless body lay
With  trauma on her face
I need to cage my mind
What did I do ?

Fists bruised,trembling,  and drowning down
The death sweat invites the cold horrors
The curse of blinding pain
Ruthless and wicked
White mouths escaping outside
A cruel bird screams through the images
A soul of sorrow walks outside

A mortal syringe delicious on drunk desire
Drifting in this desolate universe
Wings on the shadows of faded vigor
With a syringe of confidence that don't last
A purging of delicious poetry
As I get lost in the twilight
Stamping,  splintered,  limbs, with sins of temptation
Clinging to the flesh of demise
The taste of compulsion asking for asphyxiation

The vision of a loud sleep
Howling in a  evolution spirit
As the corner of wars acquires a silent danger
Society of concealed disdain, succumbs when  freedom disappears
Where mindless premonitions shriek
Erupting with desperation
Dreams jars full of color
Decomposing perceptions with shreds of fate
The map of my introspective is a harrowing walk
Twisted in a weave of deceit
Trying to stifle the air of depression

The heart of America
Beatings and rapes and so much more all on the morning news
A man addicted with ****, yet refuses to look at his wife  
A world of fallen grace
A dispirited mind chasing drugs, not to feel
Speaking does not seem to be the way
Nobody listens anyway
Lack of mental health support
Loss of empathy for your fellow man
Little girls as young as five,   dressed up like they are 25
Men and women who served to keep us free, neglected and disrespected.
Men beating, or killing there wives
Why do women and young girls feel forced to be thin?
There are more critical issues than weight
Promises being broken by our own president
Losing health care plans and some paying even more
The cost of government regulations, growing ever higher
As we become more connected, we grow more disconnected
In our electronic age our relationships we disengage
