To comfort you through life’s every storm

Never quit and never stay down

Value your dreams; do not shiv
Each one with doubt; you are able

Quit your fears for fear is a tranq

There are many words I could speak
In expressing how much I felt this week
None can better say what my heart sings
And yet I will try on this poem’s wings:
In all this good day, I felt much to say
Least of all is that I missed you today

A farmer with no seeds
To the ground
Hoped for great harvest
But none to be found
He cursed the earth
For this wrong thing done
He whined and growled
For food he had none
The morrow’s harvest
Is a child of the now

Is for the committed, the few brave
Wanting a monument for a grave

Do not try at living
This gift of life is once given
No options are but cold death

I felled a tree
A tree of destiny
Of dreams
For what seems
A lifetime
Of sweat and grime.
I felled a tree
Each day, you see
Just a hit
Not much, only a bit
Yet today,
My tree fell away.
I felled a tree
Day by day, now free

On the rough road north to Destiny

Holding scented roses for his love,

Only she held in her fair bosom
But always
Tomorrow comes and she goes

Love in spite of hurt
If love goes, the heart dies

In your eyes,
Are sparkling crystal waters
Waters often deep and gushing
Bubbling loudly, I want you.

Reflecting your aching soul
Pining wildly, I need you.

The middle nowhere
