So Much To Do
Yesterday was easy
Today is hard
That’s just how it is.
Today is hard
That’s just how it is.

Tasty Delights
When you expire
I'm sure you'll burn in fire
Time to grill you up
I'm sure you'll burn in fire
Time to grill you up

The Dark Is...
The dark is, most times,
soothing to be with
late at night.
He'll deny the light of things
I don't want to talk about;
bribe the sun to come back later.
When the hurt tries to breach
he slides a key in the lock,
places a keep out sign
over the door.
He calms the waters inside
stirred by life.
Dries my drenched sadness.
And when the sun must intrude;
when it shouts to be let in,
he filibusters, delays the inevitable.
But in the meantime
he helped find missing...
soothing to be with
late at night.
He'll deny the light of things
I don't want to talk about;
bribe the sun to come back later.
When the hurt tries to breach
he slides a key in the lock,
places a keep out sign
over the door.
He calms the waters inside
stirred by life.
Dries my drenched sadness.
And when the sun must intrude;
when it shouts to be let in,
he filibusters, delays the inevitable.
But in the meantime
he helped find missing...

Unseen
Trek onward to overcome the fear
When it grates my flesh but feeds my spirit all the things I yearn to hear
Truths of grace breaking through
Undeserving yet still I hope in the invisible You
Debts cry to control
Lay claims to the will to reposes by default, my soul
With interests built up, the entitlement of the betrayed
Taken apart, dissect the heart, when my actions are filleted
You’ve every right to reject but still you love when I am unlovely
Fear cast out of perfect affections lavished upon
Beauty from the ashes when...

Closeness
You’re somewhere close by
You’re watching
You’re waiting
It’s okay
I’m waiting too
I’m here only for you
We’ve met a thousand times before
We’ll meet a thousand times again
Yet I can’t remember what your face looks like
But I will know it when I do
You’re watching
You’re waiting
It’s okay
I’m waiting too
I’m here only for you
We’ve met a thousand times before
We’ll meet a thousand times again
Yet I can’t remember what your face looks like
But I will know it when I do

Manumission, sort of
16/30
Manumission, sort of
I scooped her up
gently carried her
to the other side
of the road
I know better than
to touch or
bother wildlife
but the cars
speeding past my
parked location
Damn! Moving too
fast – no way
would they see her
in time to swerve
to stop
My good deed for the day
going unnoticed
maybe even
unappreciated
I still managed a
smile as I took a
moment or ten
watching that
Desert Tortoise
slowly...

I'm destined to fail
Both parents unsuccessful
Can I make a change?

I Am Greed
The whisper of the devil
Tricking you
Tickling you with false comfort
Tempting you with my six deadly sin friends
Lust gluttony and sloth
And wrath envy and pride
I feed humanity with emptiness
False hope and broken dreams
I will destroy your spirit
As I tease you with material consumption
I control your desires
The apple in Eden
I am greed
I am the downfall of empires
All empires
Man worships my false value
Yet values my importance
To feed his ego
I am greed
The more I am...

Let me be your story
Come and be in my book
Let me be your story
I could write a thousand words a day
With the right inspiration
Play me your souls music
Teach me the worlds sounds
Educate me on the ways of being
So I can prosper all the more
Let us surrender to ourselves
We can rejoice in this blessed day that be
We can laugh and cry, perhaps touch the sky
But we can be together whilst we do
Be my daily update
Tell me todays news
Help me piece the puzzle together
Because I sure as hell don’t know!

In Plain Sight
On holiday in Lisbon, going round the zoo,
I suddenly remembered that I had a job to do.
I had to write with some aplomb, as soon as I could;
with so much going on, gracious me would it be good?!
Well, I'd already had rum, so while I sat down to think,
I ordered ravioli, nicely washed down with more drink.
It was an urban joke, being so very sleep-deprived;
Inspiration really lagged, but regardless, it arrived.
To finish this, I had to have a stab, late at night.
When my phone began to buzz, it heralded the light.
Although my work...

A Screaming Wind
His voice hurts her ears.
Piercing.
A mouthy earring.
Dangling,
on the edge of being silenced.

Glitter
She flung glitter
across my nights sky
so they were a little lighter . . .
Then she did the same with my heart.
across my nights sky
so they were a little lighter . . .
