    I Never, I Am and I Will©

    I never thought missing you could weigh so heavily on my heart. I never knew that you could need someone even more after they left you. I never longed for someone as much as I long for you and the love you once had for me. I never knew that death could be such a master at controlling the hearts…

    Chasing Racing Clouds©

    Don’t look up now for the clouds are amiss. Chasing racing clouds is not an easy task. From start to finish they are immovable. They give you both false impressions and hope. Don’t dare to think you could keep up or even begin to understand their thought process. There is no plan in place as they don’t desire direction. We…

    Hanging Out In No Mans Land©

    We climb stairs, seemingly on a path to nowhere. Steep are they that we climb. Breathlessly, we continue, unaware of our fate, which is determined by another. Now before us is a darkened tunnel without light. Despite the darkness, we roam into nowhere, hoping that someone is watching over us. Suddenly, light returns; a ramp up ahead leads into a…

    When Someone You Know Needs Help!©

    I know you’ve seen it But were too embarrassed To do anything To say anything Sometimes you were paralyzed with fear from what you saw You had nightmares riddled with guilt Wondering if anything became of what you saw But told no one about Your next encounter Is in your very own building You’re unlocking your apartment door And You…

    Redemption©

    Redemption Happiness is what we all strive for, Peace is what we hope for, Forgiveness is what we ask for Time is what we have. When our thoughts turn to family Our heart takes pause to reflect upon cause. What caused us to be here feeling so blue? Separated from the ones we love, We’re saddened when the answer finally…

    What Have You Done For Me Lately©

    I ask, but you don’t act. I plead, but you won’t try. I try and you retreat. I ache, but you won’t sooth me. I explain, but you don’t care. Because I care, you are safe. Because I do, you don’t have to. Because I’m strong, you feel weakened. Because I choose happiness, you are now depressed. Because I want…

    Teardrops in Soil©

    Teardrops in Soil© Teardrops in the soil beneath the soles of their boots,each soldier checks what’s left of the homes they burnt. Husbands, wives, sons, and daughters lay slain across their thresholds. Unbeknownst to the soldiers, there would be more natives taking the place of those slaughtered. For a time, history would continue to repeat itself.Soldiers learned many a lesson,…
