Poems

You’re not alone in how you feel…History always shows it…But when it comes to doing rightGood people will… decide to fight. There was slavery once upon our shoresHumans lived in bondage.It ended with huge sacrifice Good people stood… and paid a price. Evil won’t just go away It has to be removedThe face of danger […]

At altitude there is the ice,Its paid in time a hefty price.The ancient glacier rests and waitsFrozen dreams of endless dates. The dreams are one, when packed in tightThey gathered there amid the night.What will loose that mighty grip?A sudden thaw a single drip. A dream will fall in one quick dropSlipping from the icy

Live your life contentedMark the time you spend Looking out for others Will serve you in the end. Find in you, the man… The boy that got you there. Savor every simple song With a girl who steels your stare. In the final chapter Just know that you were true To every fish that chose

Splendid sparks a flame at lastKeep me warm the night will passSunrise brings a morning mistAlighted fly the rainbow kissed. Sit and sip a cup awhileWarm your feet that wood smoke smileListen there among the pinesStories told and eyes aligned. Songs we sang our hearts in tuneVoices whisper the morning loonRising smoke a candle danceSay

Along the way my mentorsSpared me many splintersThe dividends we marked in time Have helped me on my upward climb. The greatest teacher of them allA voice inside that helped me crawl And take that step on wobbly

I say you’re bigger Than the rantVicious seeds they’d like to plant, instead…You’re what

You made your mad claimFor notorious fame.Now throw down and drawOr whimper and crawl Go back to your rock, andBury that face You are…Mockery, shame, and a common disgrace. Your rant and your rave Will lead to your graveI’ll send you the hellFor the lies that you tell, orThe men that you shotNames you forgot

There is no point in looking backThe rush of wind… will soon attack And press your spirit to the ground Steel your heart and keep you bound. In among your favorite friends You are caught… they’re looking inTalking through a plated glassThey hope to touch your casual class. You aren’t for sale, but that’s a
