Crystal
Each atom
so aligned
to catch the light
and make is shine
diffuse
passing through
reflects the order
within you
turning number
into color
permitting one

Out the window the stars shine bright,
Through these bars I pray every night,
To heavens and spirits to send my light,
That’ll spiral and twinkle like the stars at night.
Moon Light
Heavenly Father! Don’t judge me on the sins I commit. Judge me on the love I withhold.
If you never get the chance to properly distribute love.
Your essence is luminescent, and bright, I just call you my moon light.
Your aura gives...

Letter To Home
My love for you is like the first fresh breath of the cool morning air.
It’s the leaves dancing in the breeze.
It’s the warmth of the sun’s first touch on my joyful morning stare.
It’s the squirrels rustling on the ground, and chasing each other through...

Don’t forget about her.
Something vigor about her imagination
Leaping towards the pinnacle of her soul
The sense and shiver of thunder and ideas
Admired by the strong and the weak
The twinkling in her eyes and the glistening in
Her smile textured and...

(Found)
A soldier dies but once
A coward dies 1,000 deaths
Here lies the last of a rare breed
Born into a new generation with an old soul
Lost and confused in the free world
Took the company and love of a woman for granted
Now his love is a Bee-hive...

Who I Am...
From eyes and ears closed, I arose
tears fall for ones I've once known
we all died but never know
resurrection commences too slow
I search for these loopholes...
I Understand
As I was growing up
Dad wasn’t much for fun
He was always so serious
His discipline always stern
Vacations he rarely took
Work and bills stole his time
But give a fishing pole
And he’d come back just fine

I wannabe loved without force
Playing my part as your King
Enjoying every moment with my Queen
Providing her with my loyalty
Expecting to be appreciated for every moment spent together
My love will be on auto-pilot
As we walk into our situation willingly...

“Cloud”
A strong updraft and a little moisture,
I am born.
Young and full of vigor, I drift over a small, verdant valley.
The colors of the earth amaze me in a way that I know
I can never achieve,
Or even touch.
The lush green, yellow ochre and bluish...

Something Is Happening
Something is happening here,
And it compels me to make a pronouncement.
There are adolescents in these institutions,
Young people lingering on the back walls of day rooms.
Huddled for safety and seeking strength from one another,
Sheep...

“Just Me”
I learned that who doesn’t look for you
Doesn’t miss you and who doesn’t miss you
Doesn’t care for you…that destiny determines
Who enters your life but you decide who stays
…That the truth hurts only once and a
Lie every time you remember it....

Alive and Very Well
If I told you what my life was like, you probably think I was lyin’.
If I told you the type of adversity that I had to endure jus to become the man that I am today; you’ll probably think that it’s impossible for me still to be sitting here, “Yet I am alive and...

Dead Butterflies,
Once fed on heart’s youthful nectar of hopes and what could be,
Drowned in salty droplets of love lost,
Extinguished by pesticides of life,
Buried beneath weighted blanket of raw pain left unprocessed.
Former refuge, incubates virus of fear and...

Being As Islands
John Donne said, “No man is an island entire of itself…”
If that’s true I must be a bridge with ends disconnected
As I stand alone atop my block of concrete and steel
Rebar floating out into the infinite
I can see you on your own patch of bridge...

“Wish We Were”
Hook
Baby – What it do? Why do I have goosebumps thinkin’ of you?
Baby – What it do? I really wish we were – when I’m thinkin’ of you.

I flip the “2 of cups” – when I’m thinkin’ bout you
That’s “LOVE” & the feelings that you put me...

STUCK
How long shall I walk around blindly
in darkness hitting my head
stumbling, tripping, bumping into walls
felling for an exit...

Be
Be the person you are trying to find.
Be the one with positivity and laughter,
Bring patience and joy.
Be the one who is mindful to listen and
Willing to communicate.
Be someone who embraces change and
Is eager to grow.
Be supportive, honest...

The Journey Of Heart
When Heart was born a voice said to him, you’re gong to search for the best thing Life has to give. Heart asked what is that? The voice replied, Love, so Heart set out on a journey to figure out who she was. But when Heart starts his journey, he meets Life, Heart...
A Mother's Love
“A Mother’s Love”
I never saw beauty
like the way when I look into your eyes
They burned with love
like two fires in the bottom of a deep dark ocean.
A love that burned into my soul
You are gone….but never ever forgotten.
Your love will...
Untitled
Untitled
I’ve swam across oceans until I almost drowned,
I've climbed mountains until my thumbs bruised.
I've walked across deserts until my knees buckled;
but when I turned around you were nowhere to be found.
I thought you would light my path
so...

“On The Way To The Border”
Why would you put up this wall at the border?
When we’re running away from crime in search of law and order,
We’re running away from famine with the hope of a hot meal,
A bottle of clean water because our nation’s water kills.
I’m...

Hurt
I literally received my name through blood and sweat
Yet, my continuous actions from that point on, cause my name to remain.
The bed of my nails have been torn ragged, from scrapping/clawing my way through life.
The outermost layer of my body has been scrubbed raw...

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss,
If you are my friend, please answer this:
Are we friends or are we not?
But I forgot so tell me now and tell me
True so I can say, I’m here for you.
You’re the one I won’t forget and if I die before you do,
I’ll go to...

Just A Dream
I had this dream of a woman who entered my life,
When she stepped in, she realized the situation then decided
She would be the one to correct it.
They say to expect the unexpected, how could I expect the
Type of blessing in question, when the type...
Addiction
Addiction… Addiction…
Feeling used up and afflicted.
Didn’t know it was this hard to get off of a prescription. Suicide by wounds of self-inflicted.

Paragon
2003 was definitely the year
A precious jewel entered my realm invoking fear
Like non before nor since, radiating life unknowingly
We grew up, temporarily going our separate ways
Times without her are substandard,...

I've Bled Enough
The things we want
are never what we need
some things we learn easy
other lessons make us bleed
Who could've known
or could've ever seen
me stuck behind these walls
reaching out for you in my dreams
My reach never long...

The Meadow
High atop the ridge
Next to the hayfield
Where the tin barn
Sits…is a meadow
Filled with golden poppies
And white shasta daisies.
Four red tail hawks
Soar the empty sky,
Chainsaws echo the canyon
And a distant town’s...
Eco - Dreams
The light of sleep grows into a conduit of more than imagination.
How will we all know the second coming?
Magic without interpretation is dreamless sleep pierced by silent interactions.
Does the woman of my dreams dream me?
Endorphins create vivid clarity allowing...
