A red spot in the sea of green
As I stare into the trees
Wings, and feathers, and a beak
Leaves me silent without words to speak
Crowned in all its majesty
Spreads its wings to fly
Swoops and glides to lovers peak
Not lacking skills to try
All alone, not in a flock
A solitary bird
Flying all around from here to there
Leaves me speechless without words
With twigs and sticks it builds its nest
Eyes as black as night with puffy feathered crest
All the while, it chirps and sings
I’m obliged with all the joy it brings

Handling love with bumbling thumbs
As something so beautiful approaches and comes
Eyes tell no lies and I’m stunned by her grace
That holds me in silence
And keeps up the pace
Then walks past the terminus
With her head held up high
Without an existence
And no tears left to cry

Scars of the heart dig deep into my soul
Forgiveness is my failure
As I clear a space to grow
I wish you only happiness
Wrapped in maroon velvet bows
To see you getting on with life
Is a gift you shared and chose

The scar I wish stayed
So I can remember that day
When we were just young and oblivious
We worshiped the moon
Because the sun came too soon
And we liked the dark because it was mysterious
Sometimes the rain can engulf the flame
And save us from the spreading wild fires
When scars remain
It proves you’ve felt pain
And sometimes that’s our only desire

Tormented;
She could not bear
The strangers looks
The strangers stares
She only wished
To disappear
Her energy
Was Just not there
She felt hallow
She felt bare
She tried to cope
She tried to care
A smile is what;
She could not wear
She was content;
With just breathing air

I was controlled under duress
Naughty none the less
Devilish and scandalous
While pounding on my chest
I am lion, hear me roar
Hush now baby, say no more
No tears shed forever more
It’s just a simple metaphor

‪Lying on a bed of daisies ‬
‪With summers good intent ‬
‪Butterflies and ladybugs dancing on our heads‬
‪Eyes are shut, as we lay in peace‬
‪Listening for the sounds‬
‪Like birds that sing, and flap their wings‬
‪Way up high above the ground ‬
Sun is bright and filled with warmth
As it shines down on this place
Rays of sunlight bounced around
Puts a smile on our face
Vibrant colors here and there
As far as eyes can see
Crisp and clean, and so serine
Brings out the best in me

Disappointment is inevitable
When you’re held in high esteem
People let you down time and again
Although the pain is seldom seen
But the pain does go away with time
It’s important not to dwell
Because you’ll never know where heaven is
If you don’t first go through hell

Remembrance of the words you said
Locked away without a key in head
Whilst up awake in bed
As sleep is sometimes fleeting
Those words were truly taken to heart
Delving into a brand new start
Ripped up, shredded, torn apart
As if vengeance were a faze

The life we lead
Is full of strife
It’s whatever we create
And it’s us that chooses
Which way we go
That deciphers good or great
We don’t pick and choose
Win or lose
What ends up on our plate
Though the warmth of day
Or cold dark night
Puts it in a metaphoric state
The success or failure
Of our lives
Could end in a debate
And with our words
We rise or fall
By how they carry weight
To be lucky enough
To have the gift of gab
Is a most exclusive trait
For one single word
Whispered in the ear
Could open the floodgates
And what we do
With what we hear
We can mostly still relate

I have a little secret
I want it to be heard
I can’t bear to keep it to myself
I hope my words don’t come out slurred
It’s been a long time coming
I’m focused and undeterred
We need to grasp on to our time on earth
When life is a four letter word
Time is ever fleeting
Life is way too short
I can always lean on laughter
As my last resort
Because we all have value
Each one of us has worth
It’s experiences and memories
As we know that life is a four letter word
Life’s filled with disappointment
Obstacles and stress
It’s overcoming that can be challenging
Being put to the test
So gather those around you
Spreading love can be transferred
There’s no need for negativity
When life is a four letter word

Along the road to the unknown
Under cloudless skies
Free to venture on alone
Without question or disguise
Strangers come and strangers go
Come day or come night
In our hearts we’re still guided home
When the moment feels just right

I saw her plain as day; golden
Under streetlights where my heart was stolen
A beauty unlike all the rest
***** heaping out her chest
Angelic face and ocean eyes
Could see right through her poor disguise
And that is when I first realized
I’d fallen deep in love

What can stop a yearning love
And hearts filled with desire
Scorching through the atmosphere
Like a star on fire💫🔥
The ajoined souls of two heartbeats
With all that is required
Fixed by you, and stirred in stew
The ingredients prepared prior

From a drizzle to a pour
Cold raindrops hit the floor
Splashing down where puddles form
Seeking shelter from the storm
No *** of gold at rainbows end
Clues I know not where or when
As gray skies hover overhead
Under covers in my bed
Pitter patter on the roof
Is all I need to hear as proof
As the sound on window panes
Is all that lasts or still remains

Words are in my comfort zone
My home away from home
When written they can convey
And express what’s the unknown
Whatever it is we’re feeling
Or sentiments not shown
Dispersing all of my emotions
But not with speech or tone
If only to make connections
So as not to feel alone
And harness all of my energy
To which I’m seldom prone

In a portrait of a nature scene
Lies prickly thorns and dark green leaves
Bushes of the holly evergreen
The lush green foliage in between
Where the flowers are full in bloom
That recluse under the starlit moon
But rise again mid afternoon
Ascending up, tried and true

Raining on our wedding day
As superstition goes
Luck, as it would have it
Outweighs the cons and pros
Mysteriously consensus
to my every conscious whim
To be with you both day and night
My patience too, wears thin
But diligence and fortitude
in my nature does exist
And if I had to live without you, you’d be missed

I’d go to any measure
As not to hear you cry
Don’t think that I take any pleasure
In extended long goodbyes
I’d take you to wherever
Come rain or come shine
Splashing puddles in some crazy weather
The apple of my eye
Resting head on pillow
The sweetest lullaby

He aimed
Finger on the trigger
Ready to shoot his shot
Danger only an after thought
With his anger smoking hot
Consequence was of no consequence
His mind had come to terms
And with gun in hand
He took his stand
Using violence as his words

Based on a true story
A fundamental theme
Of self and of ones sanity
And a spirit that’s redeemed
Down from the high heavens
To where myself and the earth meet
Is empty space and clarity
With humble words to speak

‪In a dream state‬
‪A feeling so divine‬
‪I hush to here the silence ‬
‪In my ever noisy mind ‬

‪And there I found it‬
‪An oasis from the crowd‬
‪A look into my embodiment ‬
‪Much stranger than it sounds‬

‪And just like an illusion‬
‪I was taken by the light‬
‪That gave me strength and courage ‬
‪On this given night‬

Along the path of fallen leaves‬
‪Holds the mystery of forgotten dreams‬
‪Through the brush and past the trees‬
‪Lies the fruit of all your heartfelt deeds‬
‪No wizards spell or magic seeds‬
‪Can fill your heart or give you peace‬
When no one else can make you feel redeemed
Rest at ease and just believe ‬

If your beauty is my salvation
Then I’ve died in peace
On the shores of the vast ocean
To the highest mountains peak
No substandard erosion
Could crumble my inner thoughts
For you are my rock, my everything
My ever beating heart

My mind’s in rhymes
That tell a tale
To convey my thoughts
Succeed or fail
Pen in hand
Hand on keys
Ideas flow
Upon release
Stories
Poems
Word by word
Nouns, adjectives
And of course verbs
These are signs
That give a clue
And give me
Something else to do

The world is small
Like a small ball
In universal sense
A speck of lint
In the scheme of things
As much as matter’s dense
The world as we know it now
Is still in our hands
We only need to carry out
A set of thought out plans

Running ******* concrete slabs
To tighten up both thighs and calves
A journey or a distant trek
Demands our courage and respect
For many cannot finish strong
The path too grueling or too long
But for those who make the grade
Triumphant rights become attained

There’s no need to be pauciloquent
Speak up and be proud
Learn to have a voice and say
What you have to say and loud
Do not hold inside of you
What you feel needs to be heard
Because you never know
What someone needs to hear
For there’s power in your words

Release me from my shackles
Where I’ve been vilified and scorned
Unlock all the cages
Open all the doors
Allow me to embark on quests
Places I’ve never seen before
To broaden my horizons
And walk along the shores

Nighttime is drawing near
Filled with wonder
Fueled by fear
Dark in nature
Black as ink
Followed paths
Each foot in sync
To find my way
To reach the brink
Second guessing
Makes one think
Found; discovered
The path, the way
Approaching exit
Close escape

I run to my nook
My crevice, my cave
Hide in the safety of my cozy
enclave
Surrounded by a babbling brook
I’m shaken, unsettled, I’m ruffled, I’m shook
Longing for minutes, for hours, for days
Fleeting moments of past
When I was courageous and brave

Full moon lurking in the stark and desolate sky
Moonlight shining down on unsuspecting passers by
Moonbeams and serenades
The apple of my eye
Which can only lead to passion
In the stillness of the night

‪A guardian angel looking down‬
‪To see who she might smite‬
‪The evil that’s lurks about‬
‪From anger, fear, and spite‬
‪Not today, as eyes gaze on‬
‪From the heavens up above‬
‪Only happiness among the flock‬
‪And within us, only love‬

I’ve been waiting since I was young
For my imaginary friend
To take me with him to the place
I never thought I’d see again
Now I’m back to claim my stake
In this concocted made up land
That I’ve dreamed about for so long
Just to say I can

Thumping, pumping
My heart beating in my chest
Stomach all ******* in knots
Hard to swallow and digest
Body has grown tired now
Waking in cold sweats
After all is said and done
I still have no regrets
I’d do it all over again
If put to the test

Humanities sick, somewhat unwell
With pen and ink, I’ll write a new spell
A spell that could bring you right out of your shell
And bring some good fortune to this living hell
The spell was constructed right out of a book
There were no kinds of potions, nothing to cook
Just mind over matter and a confident look
And that is the pathway that I chose, and I took
But to my own knowledge, from what I can tell
Nothing‘s been working, not even my spell

Faded
A life once lived
Along with the dust
Gave all that he could give
Memories
Lost with time that’s passed
Trinkets are all that’s left
Of things that he amassed
Subtle little novelties
Time now has forgot
Locked inside a mystery
For answers I know not

Like a dogs macrosmatic sense
I’m keen to your needs
I gravitate to you like a magnetic field
To wherever it leads
****** into your pull
Now that my heart is full
And caught up in your web
of fascination
