Still and silent stream in the midnight darkResting amongst the flax is the night sky beauty herselfQuenching a thirst from the sweet, still watersWinds that whisper vows and carry the faintest of spellsHer eyes are deep pools of wintery waterPlaying in the shallows feels safe, any deeper and you risk drowningAn otherworldly beauty emerges from her secret streamSuch an ethereal maiden has never before been seenRushing to...

My mind begins to wanderat the end of each long day;Into the realm of the unknownand the roads along the way; The many choices that I madeas I led my life;I'll always wonder what could have beenif I'd become your wife; The mysteries my decision brought,the things I'll never know;Because the mistake I madethe day I let you go. 

Without EVE

Without Eve I would not exist.

The sin of humanity is sharedNot EveNot AdamBoth sinned.I do not need an apology from either than to prevent the recurrence of that sinGod made man with the sole intention to rule and governGod made Eve not to deceive but to collaborate and make life work betterMan had its command They fell short with the weakness of a woman who brought forth from the hip of which man was the emblem replica of God who carved them into his...

From a very early age, my father told me he was part Cherokee. Which meant I was part Cherokee. How much was always up in the air but there was some comfort in knowing whether it was a quarter, an eighth or even a sixteenth, I was a native American. Hell, I ate corn all the time.My father told me many things as a boy. Of course, I had my own memories. I can actually remember looking out through the upright slats of my cri...

Ashes fall upon glazed eyes, long stilled Concealing blood and bones, a carnage landfill Right and wrong, causes and convictions all dead and gone Warriors from opposing sides, together rot, entirely forgot The past is covered, a carpet thick in grey Entombing all morals as it may Time births a fresh foundation, An unsuspecting generation Truth and lies trampled by innocent soles Every stride made is history as it’s laid...

Why?

Prepare to hear the oath of a screwed up introvert with feelings.

The main reason for coming to like you again was for self-inflicting pain. Our friendship was reconciled, and immediately afterwards I was engulfed in a sea of guilt. And yeah of course, a shit ton of time passed on and you had dated two other people. Moving on is a thing, I get that. That's all fine and dandy. But pain was shot at you for no correct reason at a point in time that could not be reversed. You had done nothi...

Where There's Smoke, There's Fire

Two boys decide to play with firecrackers with unexpected results.

The two firecrackers flew through the hot, dry air and exploded with almost simultaneous BANGS. The report echoed off of the surrounding woods and just as quickly as it came, it was gone again. Steven reached into the brown paper bag that lay at his feet, withdrawing another two M-80 firecrackers that he had bought when his family went to Myrtle Beach the previous summer. He handed one to his friend Rob and both boys used...

Last Chances

this poem is about needing one more last chance.

13 million excuses, for all the wrong I do, I've broken your heart every time, I told a lie to you, the high isnt worth, the pain in your eyes, when will we wake up, when sombody dies, nothing to lose, our lives to gain, our kids are the ones, getting hurt with the pain...

Parental Mistakes

My first foray into Hallmarked poems

Parental Mistakes My Mother was called Miriam, but mostly just “Mim,” I didn't know my real Dad, knew nothing, about him. Ma had a fancy, upon a mad whim, I was the result of their passion and sin. I dont blame either for their brief little fling, for without it, I'd never have known life, and what it can bring. It was great good luck, that Ma's hubby Peter, driver of trucks, saw me when I was born, and knew what she'd do...

Promises Ya know, those things you make just to break? The things that people hold onto when all else is gone The things made so easily, and broken easier If you only knew the things you’ve said The things you do, the things you hear They can change people, and end up changing those promises And send someone plummeting to their doom You said you would be here for me forever That you’d never leave me Where are you now, the...

When you see the sun, what do you look at? Is it the heavens or is it something more Grander and more supreme than a spring’s night? Or prettier and stronger than the shore? But what if the sun were to go out now? What if then lights come tumbling down And everything you once knew makes you bow And you feel like you are going to drown Hear this feeling is real and you don’t go Times get better, your stresses melt away Lif...

The price of perfection, one cannot bare. The price of freedom, one cannot share. The hours engulf you, the minutes indulge you. Time waits for no man, yet you're still waiting here. Trading places for thee unknown, feeling like a fool, but waiting for your soul mate, seems like too much to behold. You sin in the masses,wasting away in this world, You fuck up second chances, making false promises to those you hold dear.Th...
