Loneliness

Loneliness comes when
There’s nothing to do
No sharing of thoughts
Nor being a fool
Left without a clue
Listen to yourself
What’s troubling you?
Loneliness won’t fade
By what expressions
A simply dislike                                       A simply dismay March 7
Blimshing soft tears
Lingers to no where
Priceless jewel presses
Conflict emerges
Composes confusions
Bitterness upheld
Loneliness goes home                             Loneliness come home March 7
There’s something for you

Idea Loneliness
November 15 / 16 1991

Life Life Its Self

What’s more than life itself?
To share what’s on your mine More than life itself can
Tell stories to others
Than life itself can see
Needs to hold back feelings
Life itself can see hurt
Through impression’s in sight
Itself can see hurt come set
Can see hurt come sadly
Not with tears or sorrow
But, part of a message
Which no one can explain
What’s more than life itself?
Listen, what’s on your mind.

I Wonder

As rain drops
Upon my face On my face
I wonder
If it’s so
As wind comes
To my bones I wonder
If it’s cold
As I think
Simple thoughts
I wonder
If it’s so
As I end…
I wonder
Where thoughts go?

Real Vs Fiction

Remember You

It’s been two years Since I had feared
That day that cross
A life that lost
Remember you
Giving more clues
My eyes blurry
Now tell.. Don’t worry
Go home and rest
You aren’t a pest
No slow time has past
What do you ask?
Leave you a lone
In a loud tone
Set, hold your hand
Praying….amen
What’s wrong with you?
But, if I knew
Deep in my heart
You would soon part You would depart
Remember you

FEAR: Not Knowing

Laying scared in my bed
Not knowing what’s ahead
Thoughts have entire my mind
Why do I feel confine?
Quickly noises come and go
Imagination’s know imagine what you know
The difference between face
And fictions what’s the fact
Now bounding at my heart
Hoping fear will depart                                          Praying fear soon depart
Pressure all around me
When will I be set free
Pain in my shoulders fades
Like its been a few days
Silence upon this night
Shadowing away fright
Laying sleep in my bed                                           Laying still here in my bed
Not knowing what’s ahead.

The Mississippi

Wide open waters
Stretching side to side
A breath taking view
Reflecting light glows
Like a small ocean
Water running free Water runs freely
Gliding along way
Seems lie smooth sailing
How can I describe?
The Mississippi
Melting away view

Paraded show things

Fireworks Or War?

Setting on a rock
Watching time pass
Freedom no worry
As night settles in
Boats sailing inward
Resting of their bays
Waiting for night fall
When the sky a blaze
Floating upon waves
With an added touch
A of lighting
Shakes, the darken plan mist
Full of joy screaming
Moods intensity
The chill in my bones
Fells isolating
Flash back miles always
Reality slips
Always a moment
Then this memory fades
Until the next one

Rocks setting as I
Watch time pass
Freedom no worry
Right settles down
Sailing boats inward
Resting at their bays
Night full awaits
The sky a blaze
Floating waves come
With an added touch
Darkness shakes the mist
Scrams and full of joy
Moods intensifies
My bones chill
Feels… beautifully
Miles away feedback/ flashback
Slips reality
Moments away
Memory drafts
Until the next one
Slums
Viewing some places
Riding along roads
Peoples false faces
A symbol ? One Code?
Impression at first
Scared me go away
Living here seems worst
Exploring new ways
A last moment
Realism clear
It doesn’t cost a cent
Once you know what’s here

Lake Michigan

As far as I can see
Wide open water
Blending haze upon
The horizon
Wind breeze, inward
Still birds fly above
Building standing
Soundly looking
Over the waters
Blue sky green waters Waves of soapy white
As far as I can see
Cold winds against me
This I’ ve never seen
Visions out far land
Things I can’t see
Is it a boat? A house?
What may it be?
Haze upon the waters
This sight I’ll never forget
As far as I can see

Fear Not Shyness

Shyness is not scary
Going through old phrases                               Going through simple phrases
Let all troubles a glow                                      Leave all troubles go now
A time will come some day
Shyness won’t soon vanish
It’s a part of your way
Old ideas jus ended                                          An old idea just ended
For those scary things past
Fear not shyness…
Take time It’s time

A Voice Of Confidence

Rewritten Poem #

My heart goes thumpity when I speak
Then I’m weak…I can’t seek
Inside my mind draws a complete blank
All words sink
Surely, you know why
My mouth tastes so dry
My heart beats faster
Think no more disasters
Still this voice tells me
Soon you will be free
Compose your self
Just be yourself
It isn’t so hard
Just an inch a yard
You have been there before
Just practice… you will score
So breakout of that shall
Confidence, you’ll do well

Secrets

Seen but always there Looked doors never close
Shoulders look not
With all questions asked
What reputation
the talk of the town
Hush hush, you’ll been seen
Covering all track
Duck the idea
Not blind but can’t see
By now time has passed
The hardship no joy
Not seen some hush hush
Open doors not locked
Look over shoulders
Cover those tracks
Open doors not locked
Just the door is closed

Little clues
Searching here
Searching there
Led me near                                         No things news
Where you lay

With marker
Not showing
Are you here?
Over there?
Walking faith
Looking down
Grave by grave
Aging by
It must be
Here, this spot
Your garden
Where you rest

From who to me?
Gathering thoughts

Shriveling up Like cooked bacon
Wrinkling thing
Softly woven
What fridgle skin
Dark eyes glassy
So unknowing
The days by nights
Utter no words
Weakening by most

Stir in mid-air
Silently Unknown
Glancing at hope
Suddenly tick
Flowingly knows
How strangely put
A miracle has cooked

Not Far

Not far away, they say
This place boyas days this place journeys goes by days
Reading minds, always just
Controlled thoughts, simply must
Hovering objects there
Quietly, don not scare Quietly, don’t be scared
Tune body, another place
Be there and at home base
Walk through hick solid walls
Ending up in a mall
Flowingly, ideas yearns
A point of all returns
Mind control is it not so?
How little do we know?
Phenonomona do prey
Say what you want to say

World captures a jar
Only time measures

How do we ignore
At granted we harold
Those little things
But time doesn’t age
Priorities must

We know you’re with us.
Whispers around
Searching for new ways
Please don’t put us down
In order dismay
Breath upon my face
A sing of belief
By many paces

Running rivers
Utters shivers
Naturally flows

Bright fluffy sky
Clouds race across

Across the land

Can you speak?
Don’t drop your head

See the joy n me

Distant By Unity

A rainbow of old things
Distance by many rings
Brightly golden sunlight
Up high on ever site
Casting sure red rays
Non shadows gloomy haze
Bring pure ivory rain
To moisten the pain
Briskey, ebony cools
All life’s colors can rule
Why must all colors be
Distant by unity?

But must our colors be
Distant by unity?
