It was early in December,
They had gathered out of fear,
As the bombs were falling ’round them, cries of terror filled each ear,
And they saw the buildings falling,
And they watched the people die,
And they heard the women screaming and they saw the children cry.
As the skies were turning hazy,
With the smoke of blast and fire,
They were [...]

You wake yesterday.
Will peace wear worry?
The salt’s smile.
Fire’s translucent self.
Why?
Steel hole rot.
Less eternity.
Sad sky present.
The web soft to the night.
Trust and think.
Velvet voice star sail.
Sex from porcelain.
Embrace.
Melt.
Explore.
Change.
Linger to haunt
times secret.
Sacred with morning.
Healing see through
my window?
The rain’s sister.
Concrete bleeds.
Needle surrounds,
to the vein.
Numb.
Gray tear.
Summer tan.
Screaming hate.
Her habit debates.
Perhaps burned a
body for disease.
Hiding eyes pale
white curtains for
your thunder.
Ash [...]

This poem is based on an actual dream that I had.
I had a dream the other day,
Its vision will not go away,
About some people dressed in gowns,
(I know how strange this story sounds.)
Each gown was separate from the rest,
With different colours they were blest,
And everyone had points of view,
And revelations that were new.
They studied scripture, [...]

I walked upon a razor’s edge,
My feet were bleeding crimson red,
The pain was great, I slipped and fell,
And landed in the pit of Hell.
And Satan greeted me with glee,
He said, “How are you, can’t you see,
That you are in my world to stay?
I own your soul and you will pay.”
And voices taunted, visions swelled,
In total [...]

July Fourth
Marching bands
Um pa pa.
Kids on bikes
Ooh la la.
Fire engines clanging
Oh ma ma.
Politicians waving
Playing the crowd.
Sweating marchers
Puffing aloud.
Is this what it is
All about?
Is this the reason
We all shout?
Nothing meantioned
About the men who bled,
Or of those who lie dead.
These are the ones
We should honor today.
These are the ones who
Paved the way.
They paid the price
For our liberty,
They [...]

Someone Else’s Crime
I will grow tomatoes
When you’ve set me free.
I will live at home in peace
Where all will let me be.
I will wake up cheerful
In the morning to the sun.
I will feel at peace at last,
Once my Freedom’s won.
I have been imprisoned here
For someone else’s crime.
I have lived my life in fear,
And I have done [...]

When I leave this life before you do
Do as I please, I ask of you
Let them know you love me
Let them know you’re mine
While that may not have happened in this lifetime
Then that would put my heart at peace
Let go of pains and heartaches
That secrecy brought me so
In the final resting place
The what-ifs and must-have-beens
They all with [...]

Lean into me,
when your heart needs a break.
Lean into me,
when no more can you take.
Lean into me,
because this i can see,
that you and I,
were meant to fly free.
Lean into me and this you’ll see.
you gave me some peace,
may i share some with you?
You gave me your heart,
not knowing at the start,
that you and I,
were meant [...]

Leave me now.
No pain or sorrow.
Better now,
before tomorrow.
Express no words.
Better not say,
for words betray.
Each lie causes my heart to frey,
torn apart in pure decay.
Rather hear no words at all now,
Silence is my only sound.

I walked the roads, both low and high,
In search of where my bonny lie,
And when I found her, I did cry,
My bonny love,
I know her spirit’s in the sky,
Far up above.
She’s freed from all her earthly woe,
As in the ground she’s laid below,
Where fields of purple heather grow,
My bonny dear,
I hear her voice, as breezes [...]
