When I woke this morning
was told it rained…
I looked out
The skies were grey…
...

A lifetime of love
without a selfish thought
every teardropp reads emotions
too moving to explain.
...

Strains of music in waves
that gently lap the shore
crash intensely
with the cliff edges;
...

Scraps
of words in simplicity
in the spirit of the thoughts it spews.
...

(Written for all the pictures of downtrodden kids captured on camera)

Reminders of people forgotten
captured by a flash
...

Whispers romance the moonlight,
you make love through the night
Beads of sweat cool in the breeze,
meandering the gaps of embraces tight
...

A desire to be
to follow the movements
face up towards the sky
...a fallen life spent
...

This is no ordinary feeling
when I take the oath in pride
a call to duty to place
my country first!
...

Glorious autumn days
a bite of depressing chill
gold of the fall
walking a masquerade
...

There are no lemons handed out
no flavor to life
but what you add,
there are no reasons to believe
...

Whispering little goodbyes
to what could have been,
a touch here,
now forever gone,
...

Take a piece of me
my soul
hone out my ragged edges
as the burden I shoulder
...

A search for the perfect love
a reminder of beliefs set in mind
like bards, singing songs
of lonely nights and frozen hearts
...

There exists no opportunity
But tell you I must
Whether you choose to hear or not
But tell you I must.
...

Hey life! I stand before you
Seek me on my ground reality.
Nothing more you have
can disillusion me.
...

Replete with dreams woven out of nothingness
A journey of visions flow in the mind's eye
Come what may, the hopes it brings with it
Shall come to stay or pass, till I someday die.
...

I spoke thoughts profound
I asked if it mattered
in the long run of things...
...

I listlessly trudge
across the lush lawn,
the fiery ball
finally simmering
...

Watch a teardropp fall
see how it melts
from the depths of the soul
trickling down in rivulets
...

I look for answers,
search my soul
I needn’t look afar
I know where I walk.
...
