I have hit the bottom
and it is farther down,
than I once imagined.
...
Foot taping
Pen in hand
I wanna write
It seems I can't
...
I bought these shoes in Baltimore.
I'll walk until they're worn.
I wear down the rubber soles,
...
Are you here with me tonight?
This is my darkest hour
I have lost the will to fight
And I think I have the power
...
The house is burning.
Do you smell the smoke?
Meddling in foreign problems
Neglecting simple realities
...
What is this emotion
that I have no right to feel?
With all the dead and dying
...
Remember when...
A silent stare spoke volumes
Sitting in that class room
Up at the community college
...
I sit across from her
with the same old story on my tongue.
I know I must say something,
but I can't say this.
...
The waves break over the bow
The wind drys salt across my face
The rain beats on the canopy
We use the lightening to keep pace
...
You clever little temptress
For you I wrote each word
And I’ll keep you in this notebook
‘til I muster up the courage
...
