Spring Morning
awakening day
moon lingering behind clouds

Please Stay
stay
don’t let
recruiters prey
stay
don’t heed
liars on grandstands
stay
don’t be lured
by empty promises
stay
don’t toil
for distant oil
stay
don’t join
mercenary bands
stay
don’t go
to foreign lands
stay
your tribe
needs strong hands
stay
don’t leave our blood
on foreign sands

Impossible Love
we fool ourselves
with romance novels
and fairy tales.
love,
desire to unite with love object,
to become one with it in mind, body, and spirit.
impossible ambition,
love.
never can you be certain,
of what another is
thinking or feeling.
we fool ourselves
with romance novels
and fairy tales.
impossible ambition, love.
never can you be
100 percent certain,
if words spoken, or facial expression
bear similarity to thoughts
in their head or emotions

Crushing Angst
we’re really good together,
except for one thing.
i enjoy her company.
she’s sexy,
perceptive, devoted, compliant.
she loves me.
i feel guilty,
like i’m taking advantage.
i enjoy her intellect,
her kindness, her generosity, her sexuality,
but can’t
reciprocate her feelings.
i can’t say the words
she wants to hear,
the words she craves
will not issue forth.
she says
she understands,
making me feel
even more uncomfortable.
i can sense...

Inner Voice
who is that voice
when night is dark
and quiet envelopes the world?
who is that voice
when you're resting your bones
taking your pleasure?
who is that voice
when you're sad or smiling,
when you think you're alone?
who is that voice?
the voice that says no.
the voice that says doubt.
the voice of grief.
the voice of regret.
the voice
that drags you down
when you're fixing to win.
who is that voice,
that hesitation,
that deep questioning?
who is that...
