Darren Tyler Howard Poems

No man truly understands it's beauty
Although we do appreciate in different ways
Too many people neglect their duty
Understanding not what is passing away.
...

Most days under most circumstances
I can go through and never be caught off guard.
I can look at my surroundings and know exactly what's coming.
I seldom have to be braced;
...

The two go hand in hand
Sobriety, a curs'ed gift
Anxiety, a resulting pain
Sober and Anxious people walk.
...

Sex is desire expressed
It's joy and pleasure felt
It is a gift to another
and treasure well spent.
...

Like a tiger in a zoo
I sit or pace
Because there is little to do
Meals are provided
...

What do I lose-
if I do Drugs
Do I really lose my mind and life?
Or is it that the world is afraid
...

Born into struggle
Through sins of past blood
Eyes with blurred vision
Their world dirtied like mud,
...

Every time I say your name, my heart skips
Every time I look at you, I 'just smile'
Then your eyes remind me what is worthwhile
Darkness is brightened and burdens eclipsed.
...

Lungs warm from smoke
Body blue from winter cold
Every day more strain
Years are young but mind is old
...

A tired body
A drained mind
Shaky hands
and a calloused heart
...
