The Journey of Life

The Journey of Life sometimes it's as though there is no direction. Not wanting to go anywhere,really not knowing which way to go. Asking the wrong people for directions instead of "WHERE AM I ". There might be a reply of, "WHERE ARE YOU TRYING TO...

The fancy words you speak.

The fancy words you speak. 

 I do not care if your poems are right or wrong or if one of the commas is gone. I'm sick of hearing that love is only a word and all I see are paper rings and things. I want to hear you sing it doesn't matter if it's...

Solace in Solitude

No one knows me better than myself,
I trust myself,
I love myself,
When I'm happy or sad only I know,
I love my own company.

No one can love me better than myself,
Even if everyone forsakes me,
I can't forsake myself,
I just love the joy...

Beloved friend

The first time we met, none of us knew that our bond would be as strong as this.

Due to our uniqueness we were able to get along; you are a kindred spirit, no matter how hard things get, you are always there to make me happy - during tears,...

Tartans

In Scotland painters favor plaid
Though tartans are likely just a fad.
When dabbing on the wall
The hand can’t slant at all.
Glaswegians think diagonals bad. ...

Unrequited love

I drink my tears every day and night,
I swim in my tears and soak myself in them,
I detest myself so much for all I've been put through because of you,
The first time I saw you I thought I had seen my other half,
I thought I had seen my...

One sided love

I drink my tears every day and night,
I swim in my tears and soak myself in them,
I detest myself so much for all I've been put through because of you,

My sweet Home

A poem:"My Sweet Home":

My sweet home, a sanctuary of rest,
Where love and happiness are ideal.
Where recollections are made, and minutes shared,
A safe-haven, where hearts are minded.

The glow of affection, that consumes the space,
A...

Tears of Joy

Sing aloud with gladness,
Raise shouts of the nations;
Proclaim without sadness,
For divine foundations.

Save Your people O Lord,
Remnant of Israel;
Don’t let them be ignored,
Gather them on Your hill.

Gather the blind and lame,
The...

Darkness Doesn’t have to be your forever !

Growing up all alone,
So many nights so insecure.
Crying tears asking why?
Sometimes I just wanted to die.
Could not understand why this pain just wouldn’t go away,
Young single mother just trying to make a way.
So lost in fear, I felt as...

Morgan's

can’t sleep at night unless he’s there
when the curve of his neck smells like caramel
and the essence inside tempts my tongue
the warmth he grants my lungs and my heart and my liver
a warmth that denotes to love and care and euphoria

Presenting Theater Meant

Presenting theater meant.
For the purpose to fill seats,
Full to capacity.
Leaving no standing room,
To allow fiction to start it...
Consumed to delude,
Minds prepared to escape a reality.
And any truth to refuse...
To accept over being...
