When society ,
says you're wrong about your rights
Question their answers.

soldiers coming home
they gave their lives for freedom
the flags at half mast

My soul lectures me
self sentenced isolation
captive audience.

solitude so sweet
my true self can now be free
I can now be me.

I'm not anywhere
If you are going nowhere
You are our somewhere.

tongue tied and confused
no, I am not drunk or high
actually, I'm shy.

I am no scholar
my poems short and simple
but they speak for me

the constitution
made freedom of speech a law
it's what men died for.

spinning webs with speed
cobwebs. their abandoned homes
spiders are artists.

twinkle little star
mock my wishes from afar
I see what you are

nature like a dream
the rippling water sounds
trout swim fast upstream.

I'm not flexible
my imaginations sore
from too much stretching.

love is out of style
went out, heartbreak became In
I've no fashion sense.

fishing on the styx
Fish bite with the fangs of wolves
hell hounds line the banks.

suicidal thoughts
they're not a longing for death
they're a cry for life.

Summer speaks my name
a memory of a dream
both of us in love.

Kickin back at camp
Songs and smores , hot dogs and beans
Cowboy boots , blue jeans

love your smiling face
warms me like summer days past
with friends on the lake.

summer speaks to me
sparks a memory of us
inseperable.

you are not yourself
you present yourself as caring
superficially.

flying through danger
kryptonite his nemesis
an S for his name.

good grief it is true
I've tried so hard not to care
it's my first gray hair!

suspicions swirl
the killers right behind you
the blood spatter stains.

childhood swings along
then one day you're twenty one
when did it slide by?

a quick game of tag
love runs off with betrayal
heartbreak tags me it.

internet is down
we'll get along without it
we'll  talk and play cards!

did he say, "good dog"?
the words I have lived to hear
wow that was a treat!

You need not ask me
You may always have this dance
Passion takes the floor

first kiss , hickey
freshmen , face break outs
roller skate rental

life is like a test
it has multiple choices
up to you to make.

manners are thankless
courtesy is not welcomed
please tell me I'm wrong

false accusations
the words strike with precision
like guided missiles.

still feeling blue
today's just yesterday's dump
maybe tomorrow.

the cello speaks pain
sadness, my second languge
I am quite fluent.

sitting on it's perch
the eagle surveys the land
waiting for it's prey.

twice in my lifetime
I have tried to end it all
i heeded the call
crazy, but that was not me
a shell of myself to see
all because of my fears
reason avoided my ears
but if you feel you need to talk
I'm here I walk the walk.
Just know you are not alone
I'm here pick up a phone.

an eternal flame
flickerings of hope and peace
all within the fire

what the future holds
could be anybody's guess
a roll of the dice.

the galaxy, vast
the novas flashing their light
earths music silent.

why're you all laughing
really not getting this joke
I see, it's on me

Could we share a kiss
I need it so much today
it will make a dream

candles shine so bright
but only in the darkness
they need each other.

the meaning of life
I can't google it right now
doing your taxes?
