Hello!

Welcome to my page, I hope you enjoy.

I have been posting poetry on Facebook for years now, and because of much pressure from friends and family who have enjoyed my work, I’m posting them in a more open source where more people will be able to access it.

Please, out of common decency, do not steal my work and claim it as your own. If you chose to share it, put my name with it, or a link to this blog.

Feel free to criticize, share your own work, or comment on mine. This is as much for you, my audience, as it is for me.

Thank you, and again, Enjoy.

I beg for your assistance,
just a minor pardon please,
quell my longing agony,
give me something to ease
my growing forlorn aching.
I’ll give you all the keys,
and all that you may need,
to stop my wounds that tease
my growing need for truth,
and increasing need for more,
inject me with your cure,
straight through the rotting core
of my wasteful use of space,
as I’m bursting through the door,
searching for completion
something tha

One Moment

One Moment
I have but one dream,
one listless driving notion,
forcing my imperative,
giving direction to motion.

I seek but one goal,
a perilous forgotten path,
the infinite pursuit,
to wade in ethereal bath.

I crave but one truth,
a fervent coursing tone,
the proof of harrowed life,
that more exists than stone.

I chase but one moment,
validation for what I feel,
a glimpse not into eternity,
a clarity of that which is real.

Trivial

Trivial

The words you share are bland
they patter painfully on hollow walls,
reverberating your insecurities
and speaking of your personality.

But you are not yourself,
you are only what we’ve let you be,
you are just the person
who reflects our necessary thoughts.

These feelings that you have,
the ones that you rely on,
hold no weight in mattered grounds
nor inspirations plains.

Lose yourself for a moment,
to become what you really are,
separate from solid form
the thoughts that you possess.

You hold true to life’s foundations,
the ones you’ve forged yourself,
speaking of their validations
for the life you choose to live.

No happiness can sow a field,
nor sorrow force a plant to wilt,
anger cannot turn the tides,
nor patience calm a storm.

So why must you set your ways,
in the ides of triviality,
place priority in your dreams,
when only nightmares wake you up.

Edge

Edge

Lead me off the map,
to place where it will end
through the creases and folds
past the fine little bend.

Show me the way,
direct me to no where;
past the point I call real
through the truths that I bear.

Gather our troops
from wherever they hide.
We’ll mount and assemble,
to the horizon we ride.

Break free from the page
releasing words from verse,
spill the ink from your pen
upon the brand new hearse.

Lead me to my domain
lean my chair of the edge
speak my words to the troops
as I slip down the ledge.

Join me at the bottom,
there’s nothing left to fear,
us drones in the valley
cannot shed a tear.

Now meet me down here,
where life is a game
where the only losers are
who’s left to blame.

Make martyrs of lovers
and ambition from hope,
give dreams to the hapless,
as you careen down the slope.
