Sincere craft
Make something with your hands;
it will reveal who you are because
your feelings will show through;
own up to them.

You have the Choice
To struggle ‘gainst the world,
Be yourself despite the strain;
To follow your own essence, true to your own name –
not hiding in the darkness transferring the blame.
Be alive – raise your Voice!
Lover’s request
Say your tender thoughts,
you beautiful delight.
Love to hear what you think.
Me, I made my choice
too beg for your sweet voice.
My worse enemy
I feel that deep desire;
need to quench that fire;
more, it’s yet to peak;
sleep is for the weak.
Fraternity
Can we recall all the years
you and I have known each other?
Feel like going out for beers?
The alley’s a shortcut brother…
Knife.
Looking up; speaking to whomever’s listening
What is the message hidden in this poem?
Have any ideas where to look?
I will give you a hint: let your eyes roam (down)
Gotten any closer? As for
Myself – I think I might really get
Into this month’s theme.
? Hmm? Well what do you think?
March
Things I learned this month:
I need to get stronger and
Villanelles are tough.
– The style for next month (tentatively) is Acrostic.
Lost in the rain
“A soul…
Tossed and turned on the maelstrom of the world…
Finds what peace it can
in the deep embrace of sleep and troubled dreams.”
– Something I wrote long ago on a bad, bad night. Tonight is also a bad, bad night. Strangely enough, it was raining that night too…
Lost
I’m feeling all alone
while drifting out at sea –
won’t someone come along
and please come rescue me.
There’s holes within my sail
and water in my hold.
I don’t think I’ll prevail –
I see the Divine fold.
But whipping from the black,
I feel the Devil’s hand
that slowly drags me back,
crushing my promised land.
I struggle ‘gainst his grips,
with all that I can give.
I hear his bitter quips
to “Don’t give up!” and “Live!”
At last we reach the shore
while gasping for each breath.
Why must I live some more
when I just wanted death?
Cornucopian Cuisine
Ooo, pass me that plate
it looks really good.
I’m treating my palate
to all this yummy food.
