Do On To
‪Just a simple moment ‬
‪That any two can share‬
‪Just a subtle notion‬
‪To let you know they care‬
‪Be it a friendly gesture ‬
‪Or a spoken word of praise‬
‪Can span the entire test of time‬
‪Just from uttering a phrase‬
‪Be kind, and give from the heart
Let us stand together
Even though we are apart
Inspired by a soldier overseas in full gear, handing an Arabic child a red ball which in turn, inspired me to write this piece

Fists Of Anger
Knotted up and clenched
Eyes filled up wth rage
Relentless fists of anger
Ready to engage
Strikes down hard with force
A ****** mouth for war
Pounding on the pavement
Knocking down the doors
Into a brand new age
Dark now becomes light
Avoiding sure disaster
Like the shadows of the night
56 · Dec 2019
Comfortably Uncomfortable
I want to go strong, hard, and fast
Be brutal and crass
Rampage through the town
******* and leather bound
Walk between the shadows
Get pummeled by closed fists and elbows
Deep purple and black skies
Like the rings around my eyes
Be mysterious and feared
Shaved chest just to be weird
Go against the grain
Of all the smiling faces that I so disdain
Gothic and dark
Naked and stark
As the cold red blood trickles down
Down and down
Seeping into the absorbent earth
Drenched in stink, and sweat, and tears
Overcompensating for all these years
The grit in my teeth
A snicker and sneer
Under my cold breath
Let me wallow in my misery
It’s right where I want to be
Numb, comfortably uncomfortable
56 · Nov 2020
At A Standstill
With moonlight at a standstill
The susurration rustling through the trees
As echoes unfold
Though bitten by cold
It still leaves me weak at the knees
Now bundled with scarf
To warm up my heart
Down to my knickers and socks
When night is discovered
Unfurled with wonder
In my attempt to think out of the box
56 · Feb 2021
Little Scratches
It was nothing but a flesh wound
A measly little scratch
I had startled the fearsome feline
When I reached down to pet the cat
She was hesitant at first
But after awhile
She came and sat atop my lap
Feisty like the dickens
Playful as a kitten
That regal little brat
56 · Jul 2020
Nameless Beach
Beach fire ablaze
    At dusk
A marshmallow soirée
          
               Sand and shell
Between your toes
     Laid back
In summers pose

Ocean waves
            While seagulls screech
Serine the scene
       On this nameless beach

Symmetry
Fresh tea leaf aromas
Surrounding entities that be
Dusty book aesthetics
Pleasing symmetry
The lines are all connected
The ingredients are chic
But the underlying is eloquent
Elegant, yet sweet
55 · May 2021
Piercing Eyes
No mask contrived from beer and wine could hide the beauties eyes
Peering out and piercing through the hearts of men like knives
She left them powerless with a glance or stare
With beauty that’s beyond compare
She seduced with lust, without a care
In hopes to find a millionaire
55 · Mar 27
Pleasantly Unworldly
At first, we started spooning
Then we turned around and hugged
Her essence in my ether
Taken like a drug
It turned into a canoodle
With kissing and the such
She was gentle on my fingers
A pleasant thing to touch
She was my penicillin
My medicine
My crutch
The feeling I want forever
In excess and too much
I’ll gourd on my consumption
Of the sweetness that you are
Then tear my heart to pieces
With the corner of a star
My heart’s my only offer
Hidden behind scars
Put together like a puzzle
From 1000 little shards
And if you accept my love to give
I will cherish and adorn
And fill your days with roses
Stripped of all their thorns
A mirror to your beauty
In the present and the clear
But focused on the future
And the rules we must adhere
I get so lost inside your eyes
Troubles seem to disappear
Their sparkle is magnificent
Beyond the hemisphere
And past the moon and planets
Into galaxies unknown
Into new worlds with new scenarios
In the places we call home
55 · Aug 2020
Midas Touch
Creative mind
Aged like wine
Been reformed
Been refined
Molded with
A golden touch
Canvas, paintbrush
And the such
Soothed and calm
Can do no harm
Release of tension; disarm
Mellow from
My point of view
Like the time
Spent with you
55 · Nov 2021
The End Of The Rainbow
The rain had come and gone
The sun shone bright and proud
We all gazed at the spectacle
At the rainbow in the clouds
All the colors of the spectrum
The *** of gold a tease
Waiting on the other end
The end just past the trees
55 · Sep 2021
Pleasant Dreams
Somewhere in my dreams
I saw the strangest thing
Colossal hands claiming to be land
They encompassed the whole earth
For all the earth was worth
Skies and lions
Oceans deep
Clouds a plenty
Birds and sheep
Waterfalls and tall green trees
Helps describe what my mind sees
54 · Dec 2020
The Toast
He raised his glass to toast
In order to brag and boast
A ceremony to celebrate
An accomplishment achieved
A reached goal; a milestone
The spoils well received
After the speech
There came a roar
A rather loud applause
Victory!, victory!
The essence of the cause
54 · Jul 2020
The Frail
Bitter and alone
Tossed out in the cold
Angry for all the years of pain
This is not the life you chose
There’s no storybook ending’s coming
You’re too old for fairytales
To thine own self be true
Don’t get lost in the details
What doesn’t **** you, makes you stronger
So now; you’re tough as nails
Sad that it had to be this way
But death lies with the frail
54 · Aug 2020
A Smile
You disarmed me with your smile
I was smitten beyond repair
I tried not to look you straight in the eyes
However, I could only stare
You seduced me with your movements
That happens very rare
Your curves stood out before me
Hidden behind your long brown hair
Your voice was like an angels
It was music to my ears
I wanted to hold you in my arms
And take away your fears
But you belonged to someone else
It ripped my heart straight out my chest
I thought things with you could be different
Different from all the rest
I was so crazy to think so
With a beauty such as yours
With a smile that could mend my broken heart
Who could ask for more
And so, I set forth to win you over
Steal you away from him
I’d impress you with my boyish charm
Even though I knew my odds were slim
I could see my plan was working
As you adorned me with your eyes
With the pitter patter of your lashes
You were destined to be my wife
Until this very day, I cherish you even more
For you are the love of my life
The one I so adore

The Missing Piece
‪                 I hold the missing piece‬

To the puzzle of your heart‬

                 ‪To complete the universal picture

‪That’s been ripped and torn apart‬

                 ‪As I kneel down just before you

‪With my promise and my vow ‬

                 ‪I’ll love you for eternity‬

‪Forever; starting now‬
She dealt with her frustration
The abnegation of her pride
She never allowed herself to feel
What it felt to be alive
So she took the time to learn it
She sought out far and wide
The feeling that had eluded her
From where it was derived
She searched entire nations
She searched the country side
For all that she’d been missing
All she’d been deprived
How I love her deeply
Going to make her my
bride
She makes me feel sensations
In tune with my vibe
That’s why I’m in love with her
If I can’t have her I’ll die
Thank god she feels like I do
That’s why she’s now my wife
Don’t know what I’d do
If she weren’t in my life
54 · Oct 2020
Enlightened
I finally reached satori
Enlightened and aware
I had so many hurdles
Yet, still I climbed the stairs
On top of the mountains peak
Perfectly serene
Above the clouds
At one, at peace
In a living breathing dream
53 · Jul 2020
Bursting Bubbles
Multicolored ***** of air
Steady floating everywhere
Buoyant; seeing double
Life inside a bursting bubble
Clear reflective mirror image
Of a town, or a small village
Until it pops, oh, the joy
For every little girl and boy
53 · Oct 2020
Snow Covered Hills
Red sundown and silhouettes
Sliding down the mountains edge
A subtle breeze and string quartet’s
Heard while looking down a steep descent
Picture perfect; heaven sent
On snow covered hills
53 · Oct 2020
If It’s All The Same
Toying with my heartstrings
Playing silly games
Lending to my desires
You should feel ashamed
Feelings can be #dangerous
Can drive a man insane
I’ll not play the part of pawn
If it’s all the same
Stirring up the melting ***
Completely unrestrained
Completely unrestricted
Shouting out my name
53 · Aug 2020
Summers Breeze
A winding path through forest trees
Tranquility;
And a summers breeze
A combination of all of these
Helps to put my mind at ease

Through the rustling of the fallen leaves
Rays of light and hot sunbeams
Approaching dusk on a summers eve
Helps me focus on achieving my dreams
53 · Sep 2020
Because Of You
I found my life going widdershins
I bent and broke the rules
It wasn’t my intention
I swear, I tell the truth
I grew up quite unlucky
From the very start
I was just misunderstood
With a great big heart
Today I am content
I smile my life through
All because of you
All because of you
53 · Apr 2020
Past The Prairies
We walked together side-by-side
My best friend and I
Down the road and up the hill
Past the prairies’ daffodils
To the nearest store in town
I broke a branch under my feet
And it never made a sound
If you lean on me, I’ll lean on you, so we’ll never hit the ground
53 · Jun 2020
Hearts Content
‪As I watched the ball go through the net‬
‪I pondered what I hadn’t yet‬
‪Pointing towards a live target‬
‪Contemplating my retirement‬
‪Even still, with no ill intent ‬
‪I value my accomplishments‬
‪And what might not seem heaven sent‬
‪Will wow you till your hearts content ‬
53 · Aug 2020
Resolution
Focusing on the negative
Going way off the track
Headed towards disaster
With no way to turn back
Offering up a solution
As to counteract
The grandest illusion
Not fiction, but fact
Forgive the intrusion
There’s no one under attack
Only resolution
As white is to black
53 · Dec 2019
Sex Appeal
Supple, moved by feel
Convoluted, enamored by your *** appeal
Difficult to look away
Try as though I may
Forbearing, I steal a second glance
Earn another chance
To ask you for this dance

Your back arches
Revealing your smooth curves
More than one deserves
I’ve inherited the earth

A kiss to the lips
Hands on hips
Tips and dips
Or passing ships?

Hair like golden fleece
Practice what is preached
Not by bounds, but leaps

It’s only contingent on whether we’re equally enamored
To be honest, I’d be quite flattered
But at the same time, empowered
And soon you’d be devoured
And undoubtedly deflowered
My lovely lady queen.
53 · Oct 2020
Dark Forest
In the woods of dark mystique
Something thrives, some thing unique
Not a word must we speak
Or touch the ground beneath our feet

For tales are told of wicked spells
Ghosts, and trolls, and wishing wells
None to speak to or to tell
Of the forest bound for hell
53 · Oct 2020
The Advantage
The advantage
The upper hand
The even score
The master plan
The waiting arms
The warm embrace
The fellowship
The frilly lace
The best of times
The thrill; the chase
The mass amounts
Of toxic waste
The shocked look
On your sunken face
To set the bar
To set the pace
To the finish line
Of a losing race
Bumblebees and dragonflies
Busy with their buzz
Suspended in the brisk winter air
As an insect does
Hovering in the garden
Airborne under trees
To say hello to their neighbors
Like the ticks and fleas
53 · Mar 2020
Boy In Search
He fought his way
Through doubt and shame
He knew one day they’d know his name

He spent his nights near the shore
Out of life, he wanted more

He sought and searched near and far
Down on earth, up to the stars
He can’t describe what it is he saw
But after that, he searched no more.
52 · Dec 2020
Misplaced Goodbyes
I’ve misplaced all of my goodbyes
I’ve looked, but they’re all gone
Somewhere, they’re with my tears
In a sad sad song
About leaving and letting go
Things I’ve learned throughout the years
And I thought, that you should know
It’s just as it appears
52 · Aug 2020
Pretty Shells
Pretty shells
Along the briny beach
Ocean crash
And sun ray beams
Hot wet sand
And a stiffened breeze
Cold ice cream
A seagulls screech
Horizon far
And out of reach
All alone
On a secluded beach
52 · Dec 2020
Quaint Conundrum
You’re forever hard to find
A quality quite rare
Every time I ask for you
You’re always never there
It’s a quaint conundrum
The details, I won’t spare
Searching for a diamond
To become a millionaire
To bring me some continuity
Over a period of time
And maybe wet my whistle
Sit back and unwind
But mostly I’d be giving
A fruitful debonair
In constant connection with the universe
Humble, with a flare
It may be a long shot
On this, I would agree
But then again
You don’t really understand
The person that is me
52 · Sep 2020
Ungodly Speed
I’m driven by your beauty
My engine running red
Shifting gears to reach the max
Thoughts racing in my head
My heart sent into overdrive
Picking up some steam
Nothing like a Sunday drive
To reach ungodly speed
52 · Oct 2020
Singed To Ashes
The wick is lit
The flame grows higher
As my love for you
Burns with fire
Balled up in
A scorching blaze
It’s uncontrollable
Cannot be tamed
As the heat
Grows even higher
I am one
With my desire
My burning heart
Yearns for pain
Singed to ashes
In the burning flames
52 · May 2020
Pixie
The ‪woods are filled with mystery‬
‪and mythic
magic tales ‬
‪Of pixie dust and pixies, no larger than a nail‬
‪With Nymphs, and sprites, and fairies, spread out far and wide‬
‪They’ll never let you see them, ‬
‪They’ll just run and hide‬
‪They appear when they want to‬
‪They seem a little shy‬
There are those to claim they’ve seen them
You just really have to try
If you get to see them
You’ll know the reason why
The woods are filled with magic
And dust up in the sky
52 · Jun 2020
Ticking Clock
Life is but a ticking clock
Moving seconds at a time
Waiting hour after hour
For the bells to chime
With each minute that goes passing by
We grow closer to an end
And each moment we experience
Grows much harder to defend
As time cannot be broken
Time can only bend
To decipher every mystery
Of what, and how, and when
52 · Apr 2021
Sugar And Spice
She’s my American dream
Part of my team
Cunning and kind
The likes of which I’ve never seen
Playful and nice
Some sugar, some spice
She conquered her demons
Without thinking twice
And what’s left of the doubt
Through in and through out
Positive thinking
Is what it’s all about
52 · Jul 2020
Fade To Black
Taking a staircase
Head in the clouds
A day dream believer
With his feet off the ground
Into the uncharted
The air of mystery
Entering the pearly gates
With a skeleton key
Moving on forward
Never looking back
Expectations of grandeur
As I fade into black
52 · Dec 2020
Treasure
Will I render to life‘s temptations
Seek out treasure far and wide
Contribute to a wealthy bounty
Or to my own demise
And when I find my treasure
How will it compare
To my monumental moments
With whom I choose to share
51 · Dec 2020
Voyage
Traveling to a far off place
Overcoming both time and space
Warp speed voyage
Right on pace
To travel back
Correct
Erase
Times of trouble
Toxic waste
Cover up
Our past disgrace
And right the wrongs
Remedy
Embrace
51 · Jun 2022
Fine Leather Shoes
The pages come alive
With knowledge to share
Mixtures and potions
Magic and flare
Recipes used
Elixirs and brews
Porridge and stews
Never refused
Not even by the gentleman
With fine leather shoes 👞
But as the legend grew
You already knew
Don’t be confused
It’s just what I do
51 · Aug 2020
Peach Pit
Disguised to minimize distraction
Devoured to nullify consumption
War in speech
Is within my reach
If I only had the gumption
To harness my dysfunction
And tear away the pit inside the peach
51 · Dec 2020
World Wide
Everything comes full circle
Through the faces in the crowd
Often it’s no wonder
Why we can’t drown out the sound
People from all over
From every walk of life
Join as one, under the sun
And span the whole world wide
51 · Nov 2020
Nature In Slow Motion
Nature in slow motion
A true spectacle to see
Where there’s pollinated flowers
And birds flapping their wings
With stirring gusts of wind
Through the stationary trees
And sweet love in the air
Not unlike the birds and bees
51 · May 2020
The Oceans Roar
Waves crash against the oceans shore
The sound as such, it leaves you wanting more
Powerful, not unlike a lions roar
That draws you in, too hard to ignore
We value it’s serenity, it’s beauty, and allure
It’s in our very nature, a connection to our core
It’s intriguing enough, that we feel we must explore
All that it contains, even what’s on the ocean floor
50 · May 2020
Where Flowers Grow
‪The brown bear and the hummingbird ‬
‪What a sight to see‬
‪The bear who loved his honey ‬
‪And the bird who flapped his wings ‬
‪The two you wouldn’t think would pair‬
‪But, yet, somehow they did‬
‪They gathered deep inside the woods‬
‪Where the flowers grew amid‬
A secret place of special sights
Where flowers bloom and the sun shines bright
It’s there the two would spend their days
And sleep well through the night
50 · Apr 2020
Below The Iron Gates
The dogs stooped down below the iron gates
Ready for whatever awaits
Their master seems to be running late
As they sit watching down the road he takes
Any minute; any second now
He’ll be walking down the street
And won’t it be a joyous day
If he’s brought with him some treats.
50 · Oct 2020
If Only For A Moment
If only for a moment
A glimpse of what’s to come
Forgiving all my enemies
Spreading joy with there was none
Soaking up the misery
Filling up my cup
Doing all that I can do
Hoping it’s enough
Exploring holy sanctity
Never was my cup of tea
Never giving up or in
Saving me from me
