The evil spirit of darkness and depression.
At times will cause me to sleep too much.
It will make me sad and hurt me as well.
But the Spirit of God helps me to over come.
For it is the Spirit of God that is always in me.
For Christ loves me and place his helper in me.
To become an over-comer and to let others know.
That he loves them and will help them to over-come.
For he is the one that shall help them in their time of need.

You come first
Forever and always
I come second
With feelings it tow
my mother never taught me how to fly
because ladies don’t use their wings
and neither do I
These days I dredge the past
                 for the kind of  pain
                      that used to drive
                        my words. Heartache
                 was the fuel of poetry
            and I drove those lines
                                  like a madman.
But, now that tank runs dry,
          which, I guess, is a good
                                  thing really.
Now lucky in love, but wasn't always. So why does it seem so much easier to write good poetry from the bad sh^t that plagues us than to record the good that happens?
The sun light shining through my window but only enough to welcome me to the day. The birds are chirping only waiting for me to rise from my bed, stretch, and meditate for a minute or two. The wafting smell of coffee beans and oatmeal fill my senses as I stroll into the kitchen, but half asleep. The blue sky or maybe grey will greet me as I slide the window open to great the morning air, one with the residue of last nights rain. The morning walkers quickly walk past my window only having a conversation of their own with a friend or a lover. The 5 am shift started and the 6 am is soon to be, the cars cruising past. The children at play before breakfast is served, sidewalk chalk and a box of matchsticks, mom said never to play with. The day looks inviting, may I join?

It's just that
i'd like someone to
write for me
just once
i'd like to be the object of affection
i'd like for someone to find
that beauty my mother keeps telling me
i have inside
i'm not complaining
but you see
i'd just like to be the
poem
and not the poet
for once

Sometimes people hurt you;
They don’t mean to,
They don’t intend to,
They just do.
Freshly falling Snow,
blakets the landscape with white,
a sledders' dream.
You make me
both the happiest,
and the loneliest
person alive.
And that
is a terrifying power
to wield.
