YOU ARE ENOUGH
I sign in to DUP and start reading from some of the poet's who have reached their bottom, emotionally. The fragility of their words were painfully familiar.
It saddens me and I want to help.
We all should.
One thing we can all do is share our own battles out of the darkness and what worked for us.
We write poetry for our own reasons.
At one point or another in our lifetime, we have all been through something awful and have needed help.

SNOW ANGELS
Beloved by Grace
as angels watched in silence,
awestruck and perched
I understand it is my time to go
Intuitively gaping their wings and descend into flight
Leaving snow drifts of swirls behind the force of their glide
as they glitter this earth like a mystical guide
Illuminated
by a moonlit
snowfall
of a fresh powdered storm
Every crystal unique in its identity
of each fallen flake
The angels have placed where each one belongs
Laying blankets of snow ...

TRUE
I have never needed anyone,
then you taught me that
everyone
needs someone
If could be anywhere
I would be
sitting in silence next to you,
under the desert sky,
counting stars while a bonfire crackles
I thought I couldn't
get any higher on life
Until you made me laugh
hysterically
while I was catching my breath
after my run
I never knew that
our friendship
could be everywhere
From our poetry
inspiring others
to become warriors
and battle for
their right...

Shell Seeker
I walked barefoot in a ribbon of sand as I seek Junonia shells along the shore of Sanibel Island. Gently placed
in a clam bucket that swings from my hand,
humming a tune I heard from earlier that afternoon.

Brotherly Love
I couldn't sleep, again
I chose to read your words instead
I could hear your voice,
by the rhythm of your thoughts,
flowing from your scribe,
Calm and baritone
Your brotherly love,
evoked emotions in me I had cremated
long ago
Lighting a cigarette
gave me an excuse to pause and think,
thinking on why I can't feel the sorrow
I need to cry, hard and from within the deep
Maybe then I can sleep
My grief is still froze,
crystallized and was unfairly brief
Too exhausted to breathe
in the...

Formula to a Dream
Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
-Steven Hawking
You are correct.
Not all dreams are attainable.
These are some of my dreams.
Are they attainable?
I believe in myself enough to try.
Will all my dreams come true? No.
To help others clarify an objective and the ways of how to attain them.
To teach basic economics to people living in poverty, for free.
Create a scholarship for all genders of domestic violence.
Solve the equations of Gauss or Tao.
To be loved, unconditionally.

Love and Honor
When you...
Give a woman your arms to hold her
She's yours
Give a woman your hands to touch her
She's yours
Give a woman your body with passion
She's yours
Give a woman your respect to love her
She's yours
Give a woman your words to cherish her
She's yours
You give a woman your Vow to honor her
She is yours
Because you love her
Give a woman your arms to hold her
She's yours
Give a woman your hands to touch her
She's yours
Give a woman your body with passion
She's yours
Give a woman your respect to love her
She's yours
Give a woman your words to cherish her
She's yours
You give a woman your Vow to honor her
She is yours
Because you love her

Love Bird's
Telling secrets to the ocean,
landing egrets by his shore
An artist palette sunrise,
as he answers to the sea
Seasoned poet scribes emotions
looking deep within her plea
" fly to me, fly to me, sweet
lady bird, you are free"
landing egrets by his shore
An artist palette sunrise,
as he answers to the sea
Seasoned poet scribes emotions
looking deep within her plea
" fly to me, fly to me, sweet
lady bird, you are free"
