she wears
the wild
discreetly
branded
on the inside;
no one knows
(so no one knows)

the edge
curiosity
ragged
like need
invisible,

What I wanted to say
was that these moments of clarity
where you find yourself realizing
truths obvious
do not ever end,
don't come pre-supplied
with detailed plans
fully assembled,
and no matter . . . more

We can see them now for ourselves
moving careful keeping to the shadows
on titanium feet and wicked stumps
horribly scarred jagged and ugly
across former innocent
bright eyed faces.

I must reacquaint myself with the forces of spirituality and acquiesce to God’s . . . more

These poems are from the pages of my first book-
The Journey~Lost and Confused

Relative
How relative is the time that we measure
Or material items we all tend to treasure
Just how important are things we each cherish
When the day comes that we die and parish
Is your conscious clear . . . more

There’s a new situation endangering us all
People driving in their cars on a phone call
Being more concerned with a stupid conversation
It's like an epidemic that’s . . . more

shades of gray
playing through your head
stuck in a loop
like a record with a scratch
never knowing what the next day brings
never knowing

Abandoned on this wind-swept fen.
All the words we shared, breathe out

from when
what we didn't know

and even then
the effort

It was the rum that saved me
from imploding
in utter despair
at the horror my life

Such an end

right before my eyes
you sneak up
on my blind side;

Cast aside tarmac streets and cross the river valley
To walk in the steps of the great
Follow in silence the cobble-stoned alley
Peer through the arch up ahead.
Inhale crispy air, aroma smoky . . . more
