Triplet coyotes
From the day of their birth
Desired the moon
And all it was worth
...

What is poetry more than words
Thought into existence by a writer.

What is life than a mystery unspurred
...

One tear
Feelings sincere
The blue sky melts away
The bright sun fades and clouds appear
...

Last to the kill,
First to the finish.
Fighting until
The thoughts diminish.
...

From nowhere it comes
And to nowhere it goes
A good friend is always around
...

The words I want to say
Are ones I hope you want to hear

I am here now
...

I drive
My hands tremble
The wheel shakes between my sweaty palms and lifeless fingers
Pressure in my head builds
...

As the spectral night begins to creep,
Over the sunlit sky,
The armies of light fall fast asleep,
The victory of dark is nigh.
...

It’s winter now, the time has come,
Temperatures are freezing,
Bare hands become quite cold and numb,
With gloves, the weather’s pleasing.
...

There is a place I have come to know
Where grief and anger tend to grow
I know well how to reach this place
While venturing though, I leave no trace
...

Drop the disguise
It's you I prefer
Because in my eyes
You already were
...

Closer to fainting with every thought
To stay awake so hard have I fought
When thinking about your immaculacy
My heart is lifted; I fly; I am free
...

Louder to him than the deafening cries,
Are the gunshots that pierce each man as he dies.
He looks about and sees the demise,
Of his once good friends and his trusted allies.
...

Messages in bottles
Each drifting through the sea
Sidle back and forth
Some are bound to come to me
...

A year and a day
Are all that lay
Between me and
My love
...

What hath a mind
If it hath not a choice
What hath a man
If he hath not a voice
...

Slaving hard each day and night
To bring the world it's dark and light
And aura of refulgence divine
You make the sun wish it could shine
...

In awe of your beauty
The allure in your eye
At the touch of your hand
My heart started to fly
...

There's not a thing I would not do
To stay here next to you
Hand in hand, through and through
Submerged in love so true
...

The sun comes up
Another breath
Another day
Another death
...
