I Never Thought Myself a Poet, But I Certainly Am Now!
There wasn’t one particular moment when I decided to become a poet. About the time I was leaving junior high, I decided to try writing some lyrics. But, as they’ve never been put to music, outside of the occasional ditty in my head, they became mere poetry. Some people say that I do well at […]
Poetic Wax (Poetry)
Inject the poor soul with poetic waxA formula one for sweet sounding traxLeft you a cold one with cinnamon fizzyOne soul’s track is another one’s dizzy Man walks alone and his soul turns to dustThe Woman gives in to a heart full of lustShe seeks her fortune with unbridled forceHe suffers consequence of sudden divorce […]
Can I Really? (Poetry)
Can I speak through a word And really tell you how I feel Can I tell you I love you And really tell you what I feel Can I give you the treasure of treasures And really tell you what you’re worth Can I hold you forever and ever And really get what I really […]
Scriptures (Poetry)
Lost in the sands of forgotten times Lies a treasure from a distant past Fellows, we must recapture this trinket Of lost passions and intellect From long buried centuries passed We still have so little to teach And infinitely too much to learn O Fortune’s wheel! It has turned! The princely one’s reign has ended […]
Chalk Dust (Poetry)
Smoke trailing the nuclear rocketAhead’s his palace and it’s gonna sock itHigh tech bombers gonna chalk it upWatch the fireworks, two thumbs up What kinda world we livin’ in?To dreadfully punish every lil’ sinWe make mistakes the moment we beginSit back & realize these are our kin Everything a deadly planAlways trying to widen the […]

When You Wake (Poetry)
The stars light up in your eyes As you rise from a long night’s sleep Foggy vision as you step to the mirror And ponder your beautiful reflection Sometimes you wonder if you are The only one to know the inside It’s never simple to see the real You wonder if you’re really awake Cause […]
The Lacquer (Poetry)
Buried beneath the lacquerThe liquor stole your beautiful sightInside you suck on your inhalerSearching for some inner light What’s left within for rightIs there any purpose to fightYou’re fading even palerThe days are growing ever staler This is a stage of frightDarkened by eternal nightHate pervades the valleysAnd slips through the broken levees Watch the […]
Looking Glass (Poetry)
I remember writing this poem in a little notebook I used to always carry with me just before work one day. It’s a short and sweet one that I’ve rewritten to be what I intended it to be. “Looking Glass” Alice, take me to your wonderland Between the skies of night and day Your reflection […]
The Shattered Timeline (Poetry)
“The Shattered Timeline” is a narrative poem about the many twists and turns that come with developing a creative universe. All across the shattered timeline So many dead ends lie in view Led along by twisted road signs You must wonder which paths are true O’erwhelmed by possibility The plots keep winding and twisting While […]
