A love was that keeps lovers apart, is destined to be an endless life loneliness and separation. A love that cannot be, because of one persons fear, will never get beyond the mind. A love that is set aside for the living of ones own life, […]

Caught up in this wave, my arms are tired of paddling. It would be so easy to stop kicking and slip away. My head above the surface, my body full of pain. Crying out for someone, my heart feels the strain. The tide keeps pulling me under, I […]
With the coming of the wind, seasons will will change, summer love is gone, friends say their goodbye’s, and children will cry. Mothers and fathers cuddle by a late night fire, in warth, happiness, and desire. Their love-making is beautiful, tender and Oh so sweet, as the love […]
A life long devotion to a crooked belief a crooked belief that has done nothing but cause you pain & greif Now here you sit, in a tiny room on appeal exhausting all remedies, writing affidavits, filing motions & submitting briefs Begging the courts to hear you out […]
The fragraance from a field of flowers can change the Twilights Sky Golden, the Moon a Crystal White, and the face of a child into an Ice-cream smile. Within that sweetness you find a tower slanted, statues that have weathered the passage of time, and canals that carry […]
I was almost, so were you. There are many, more than a few. I almost finished in prison but….well, you know. I was almost president… Well, almost mayor… I was going to Mexico… I almost got there. Almost made foreman on my job, Almost didn’t need to steal […]
Listen for the sound of a pebble fallng from a mountain top. Listen for the sound of a Snowflake as it softly drops. Listen to clouds as they slowly pass, or even the growing of a blade of Grass. Listen to the Sun as it begins to rise, […]
The restriction of my view, is beyound the extent of my walled in cell. A single window layered with the bars of my life, restricting my picture of the world, an my poetic soul. My outlook of the world changes with the coming of the seasons. The Greenness […]

I don’t call it “Pacing”, I’m just Tracing steps from before… I walk to see Where I don’t want to be anymore As the Kardashians Become “The Jones’” for the World to “Keep-Up”, And Hustlers abuse the same Vices We once used to Re-Up, Distracted Drivers, Text Messages […]
