Ridiculed Romantic (Poetry)
Jonah had his whaleAnd Eden had its fairy taleMy life’s been rather paleWithout my darlin’ Gale You outgrew me, don’t you seeI was full of eccentricityAnd you left no place for meEros is cruel, I chased helplessly Almost too obsessivelyLooking to replace youLeft with only animosityAs a ridiculed romantic fool Jonah had his whaleAnd Eden […]
Remainder (Poetry)
Do we truly ever knowWhat it is we have left?How do we figure the remainderOf our limits, God-given Or just self imposed?The energy or lack thereofSpiritual, physical, mentalThe remainder of theseWe are left to figure Are we all doomedTo eventual entropy?Will we proveTruly finiteOutside of the presence of GraceReal or imagined our destinyThe most mundane eventsProve […]
Purpose (Poetry)
Finding purpose for the wordsCan be so hard to doEven when they flowWhat do they stand for? So many topicsPique my interestsBut which are most valuable?Where should I focus? Is there a right answerTo what a writer should do?Be dedicated to somethingOr plan nothing at all? It is a curious thingThe mind of a writerConstantly […]
The Starlight Beckons (Poetry)
Oh, sweet babe with the bluest eyesBorne to me, a gorgeous surpriseWhen I saw you first, my heart stoppedMy lungs so full, they almost popped Right from the start, you began to riseYou look up to the skies, mesmerizedThe starlight beckons you to the highest skiesI could tell you heard the angels’ cries I left […]
No Solution (Poetry)
Sometimes the solution seems too simpleDon’t despair when your mind doesn’t Seem to be all there, we often findTwo wrong things to compare Some of us don’t seem to haveThat intellectual flairGive me a logic problemI may just mindlessly stare For hours on endWithout as much as a careBut I have to do itWhat’s asked of […]
Next Road (Poetry)
Looking in the mirrorWho’s this being I see?I’m pretty sureAt another timeI’d be sure it wasn’t meWhat have I done wrong?And where have I gone right? Where’s the next roadI should take?Life is a highway, they sayAnd I’m looking for my exitBut, ain’t it too earlyTo stop driving nowWhen I haven’t even started? Written 2-7-2005
Lost in Love (Poetry)
Keep this with youNever lose it for meCan’t lose this love Whatever might be When tragedy strikesOnce and againThis cannot endMy best friend Lost in loveWhirled aroundSpun downRound about Dizzy and disoriented Streets that don’t cross Yet go on endlesslyA concrete jungle maze It’s not the last trip By a long shotBut we’ve come upTo a dead stop If […]
Legacy (Poetry)
Enough money wasted on these scamsToo much pressure put on my diaphragmWhat is there going to be left of me?What will become of my legacy? I can’t help but stand by honestyHad enough of this life’s travestiesOnly concerned for future humanityWhat will become of our legacy? Try to rise above the general insanityIs there a […]
In Passing (Poetry)
In passing, I wonderWhat is lost to the worldWhat was known of youAnd what was notThe balance of what remainsWhat to make of your legacyWill remain an unanswered question To recall at onceAll those times spentThe impressions they leftThis was not the wholeOf you at all, of courseBut, the balance remainsA wonderful mystery A sort […]
Still Frames (Poetry)
Still frames in my mindCome to vibrant lifeBut the story unravelsAnd I lose focusMadness runs rampantThe comedy falls flatBut these still framesAre so beautiful and sweet A cartoon worldSo over the topTrying to paintThe pretty picturesBut where do I startSo many still framesI can’t choose fromAnd I can’t draw them Too complex and uniqueAre these […]
