Right vs Wrong
"Evil people win when good people do nothing" That’s certainly true now If the caring people of our nation don’t do something, Our nation will continue down this dark path Getting active ourselves and encouraging other people to act is the only way to guarantee that our nation changes These corrupt people need to be…

Our days to fill up or leave open
During my summer months, I often feel torn between the two options: use days to do lots of activities or leave them open to feel the space of time Its such a novelty to have open time that sometimes I just want to soak in the pool of it! Yet, alternately, I feel driven to use my unspoken-for-time to accomplish goals I feel…

The freedom to have a child or not to have a child
These men wanting to take away a woman’s right to choose They are not only harming women Trying to keep them in the shackles of enforced motherhood Hoping to keep single moms in poverty Trying to make their bodies a source of shame rather than joy They are not only trying to gain control over women’s sexuality They are not…

"The Breeze Between Us"
For as long as the stars know you, remember thine name. I
cannot give you the same, despite the yearning. A disingenuous promise gives
rise to the fading echo of us. If you could get those memories back, would those moments still be crushed. Would you really change everything or try and gather
the dust. Sadly, there is no…

"Fairy Tales"
Is it not ego to believe that you will definitely find your
someone in this life. At which point does hope become harmful. The more time
spent in this experience perhaps this notion is folly. And this creates the
desperation that leads people to rush into relationships based on fear of the
Solitary. Solitary perhaps has…

I want to write a poem about lawn movers.
I want to write a poem about lawn mowersBecause the other day I went for a walkAnd at the start of the walk there was a power lawn moverShredding my ears with it's incessant noise. As I kept moving further away And the sound grew less harshThe smell of fresh cut grass lingered and My thoughts drifted back to another time.…

Happiness, My Song
Back arched towards you Love is unleashed Gentle caresses Passionate release With every tenderness And breath from your lips A longing arises Much more than a kiss Your chiseled perfection Stirs depths of desire Intensity, so driven Lust hot as fire With a brush of your lips Fingertips of your hand I become a smile And…

Cupid's Crooked Arrow
Day for love Day for romance Yellow corvette arrived Fate not left to chance Get in - wheels scream Straight to the park Over radio waves Call outs mirror the heart Vows were spoken A kiss was had Witness stole Love turned sad Followed a dance His footsteps lead the way She gave him her heart He still carries today On…

For the one who has everything
For a person who has everything, it's hard to know what to give I suppose the gifts of time, attention, hopes for health, and love are all that's left? its hard to know... perhaps some surprise? maybe a dusting of magic particles for inspiration? solid reassurance? praise for the awesome nature of the person with…

No plan but perhaps a short stream?
Every now and then, I remember something beautiful you know how that is... maybe stumble over a memory? some days are so busy but empty too, drab, dry, dark the unexpected sparkles in the dirt are a relief! I feel that tiny levitation oh yeah, there was that... do you ever have days like that? moving along thinking I'm…

And then the meeting was over And my Grandpa was gonna die Die... And I started - I started to cry To cry And I got to say my final good-bye Oh i miss…
