The words were said
In drunken lullaby
With fear that was tamed
By the whiskey's rye

In the morn it was replayed
Fear creeps in
From this drunken lullaby
Dread of words said on whiskey rye

Unable to take back
Not knowing if want
The whiskey's rye
**** drunken lullaby

It's all on the table
If see it this way you must
No longer there this whiskey rye
To comfort a drunken lullaby

Why shout out to the mountain
It's time to fall on me
The sky keeps turning darker
So why pretend to see …

Love so often cast
Like pearls to the swine
The dog returns to his *****
He calls it  holy wine …

There’s a new day on the horizon
As our lungs gasp for air
Existence remains unsolvable
Yet on these fables so many swear

Eternity holds no definites
The equation six feet deeper
Wake up and do some living
Or be an eternal sleeper

An older poem of mine
I wrote it in 2004
Built to protect,
Not to deter anyone..
But to defend self from brokenness..
But for how long can those walls last without breaking down..
Not searching for a hero.. Just a fighter.
I sleep tonight upon bated breath
In hopes I shall wake on the morrow
With eyes wide open and mindful rest
Secrets to become no more
As truths are laid down
Set in open door
Light to come over darkness creep
the sun shall not run
Tomorrow secrets unleashed
Hide no more sun
Run no longer to west
Giver of light to the moon
Lay down now in her breast
the world has flipped
It's ciphers have been read
So upon the morrow I shall wake
As tonight I sleep once more
Upon bated breath take

When my footsteps on the corridor shall no longer sound,
When my computer keyboard shall cease its tapping sound.
When my much loved books on the shelves shall gather dust,
Remember me then if you must.

At night when you gaze up at the star filled sky.
There I shall dwell with twinkling eyes.
Freed from the terrestrial ******* below,
In that celestial realm where time ceases to flow!

But should you ponder and begin to meditate,
When your thoughts transcend this world of fate,
Then both heaven and earth will appear to dissolve into one;
When you may conquer time to step into my celestial world!
