Awakening
I feel like I am waking from a long held slumber
Moving my limbs, beginning to lumber
Breathing deep into my lungs a new breath of fresh air
Shaking away the numbness that had all gathered there
Slowing raising my consciousness from its comfortable nest
Rubbing my eyes of sleepiness so as to perform my best
In front of this crowded room that has seemed to appear
With spectators looking on from both far and near
Time to dust off this brain to come up with ideas
For a monthlong competition, without complications or fears
Rise up and put your pen...
Moving my limbs, beginning to lumber
Breathing deep into my lungs a new breath of fresh air
Shaking away the numbness that had all gathered there
Slowing raising my consciousness from its comfortable nest
Rubbing my eyes of sleepiness so as to perform my best
In front of this crowded room that has seemed to appear
With spectators looking on from both far and near
Time to dust off this brain to come up with ideas
For a monthlong competition, without complications or fears
Rise up and put your pen...

It’s OK to cry
Sometimes you just have to cry
Wipe away the tears from your sad eyes
To clear the picture that you see
Envision the good things meant to be
But if the lens should not clear
There’s no need to worry or to fear
Just give it time and lend it strength
In the end yourself you’ll thank
For being strong too long’s a curse
To not cry out would make it worse
So lend your fears and worries to time
In the end you’ll be just fine
Crying is not a sign of the weak
Not a sign of being too meek
Being the rock for all those around ...
Wipe away the tears from your sad eyes
To clear the picture that you see
Envision the good things meant to be
But if the lens should not clear
There’s no need to worry or to fear
Just give it time and lend it strength
In the end yourself you’ll thank
For being strong too long’s a curse
To not cry out would make it worse
So lend your fears and worries to time
In the end you’ll be just fine
Crying is not a sign of the weak
Not a sign of being too meek
Being the rock for all those around ...

Caution in the Wind
I have these feelings of anxiety whenever the winds may change
It’s a mixture between excitement and maybe just a tad deranged
I’m not looking for a helping hand just here to say my piece
And when I’m done I’ll walk away a little lighter to say the least
My palms sweat and my whole body trembles when new thoughts arise
The only limit my own determination as I start to reach for the skies
Who knows what may lie on the horizon when you hear the siren’s call
Best to still keep a little caution lest you lose it all
It’s a mixture between excitement and maybe just a tad deranged
I’m not looking for a helping hand just here to say my piece
And when I’m done I’ll walk away a little lighter to say the least
My palms sweat and my whole body trembles when new thoughts arise
The only limit my own determination as I start to reach for the skies
Who knows what may lie on the horizon when you hear the siren’s call
Best to still keep a little caution lest you lose it all

Green eyed Monster
I see the green eyed monster lurking in the dark
Looking to prey upon weak and shallow hearts
Like mine and i’ll admit that a time or two
I let the green eyed monster change it’s red hue
To one green with envy and an envious lust
Of what I couldn’t have even though I tried you should trust
Not that I didn’t want these things badly enough
But the timing was never right, I was blockaded by stuff
To see those whom had what I wanted and taken for granted
Made me so angry and at the same time disenchanted
For what was to stop me from doing the...

The Cracked Facade
I hear the pounding in my ears as blood rushes through my veins
No there is no wound they rush to not the ground does my blood stain
It is the headache I’ve come to know and learn to dread so well
My coworkers seem to know how to put it when they make work an insufferable hell
And all this time i try to fight it, all but put a smile on my face
But it can’t repair all the pieces that are missing, as each crack on the surface takes its place
No there is no wound they rush to not the ground does my blood stain
It is the headache I’ve come to know and learn to dread so well
My coworkers seem to know how to put it when they make work an insufferable hell
And all this time i try to fight it, all but put a smile on my face
But it can’t repair all the pieces that are missing, as each crack on the surface takes its place

To Be Or Not To Be... Armed
Small whispers, exchanges lacking luster in karma fueled dreams
Feudal warlords divided against the other as it seems
Standing off sides, blades drawn, words of war left unsaid
Though heavy brow left upon each helmeted head
Protecting hearts, minds encased within impenetrable armor
Eyes searching vulnerabilities to swiftly dishonor
The foe that does not speak but knows how to damage
While the other, the muted sage, sparks all things savage
With a searching look a knowing gaze that pierce through any shield to the heart
This was over before it...
Feudal warlords divided against the other as it seems
Standing off sides, blades drawn, words of war left unsaid
Though heavy brow left upon each helmeted head
Protecting hearts, minds encased within impenetrable armor
Eyes searching vulnerabilities to swiftly dishonor

While the other, the muted sage, sparks all things savage
With a searching look a knowing gaze that pierce through any shield to the heart

Bathed in Moonlight
Whispered conversations as the moonlights haze
Grazes along the fields and the mountains both alike
Stealing away with it vacant promises and cherished delight
In contrast fluid, bathing the world in beautiful strike
Like an artist to a canvas brush fluidly in hand
Moving swiftly ‘cross the surface sweeping billowing life
Imagination and shadows run wild artist insight
On both the glamour of stardom and unrelenting strife
Cast into a dreamer’s dream or a lover’s hapless fight
Strange things have always happened while bathed in...

Snake in the Grass
I see you quite clearly you snake in the grass
Always in someone business and never the last
To know the latest gossip, to know every line
It’s almost like you have it set up by design
Willing your victims into a false sense of security
So you can mine for information your pleasure to see
You care not who you hurt though imperfect you are too
Not caring though and only looking at the things others do
Nitpicking at its worst when it comes to their job
Like you’re the queen or something, still acting like a snob
Come on I can see through you and...

Into the Night
Come with me into the night to have such work to do
Changing all perceptions and to make a different hue
The night is not something to be afraid of nor the dark
It’s few between the baddies who make it seem so stark
The sounds are all different from the chirping of the day
You might hear some howling or the trees as they sway
Seeing a pair of eyes that may be looking out at you
Just as curious about them as they are curious about you
The moon as it casts its light on the landscape
Bathing it in a silvery aura, a sight leaving some agape
No...

Warning Label
do you ever wish life came with a warning label
Like when you would run into a chair or table
To be able to avoid such momentary pain
In hopes that there would be some sort of gain
Some stone left unturned, some adventure to be sought
In those little moments of pain that life forgot
To avoid them swiftly oh what would be learned
Would we realize too late how bad we could be burned
When great mistakes come along that can’t be avoided
When all previous agreements have been voided
No I do not wish for some warning label on my life
To feel...

In Your Head
There are no flowery magical words
That can make you feel better
When you’ve walked your own torture
When they ask you how you’re doin’
Or if you’re alright or ok
Let the tears that threaten
Flow over your cheeks
Let them run their natural course
Feel free to be free to be human
Don’t feel like you have to be the strong one
All the time every day of your life
For even the biggest rocks crumble
Over time and continued stress
Living with the thoughts inside of your own head
That can make you feel better
When you’ve walked your own torture
When they ask you how you’re doin’
Or if you’re alright or ok
Let the tears that threaten
Flow over your cheeks
Let them run their natural course
Feel free to be free to be human
Don’t feel like you have to be the strong one
All the time every day of your life
For even the biggest rocks crumble
Over time and continued stress
Living with the thoughts inside of your own head

Writer’s Block Maze
Staring into the maw of writer’s block again
Feeling the falling farther down the fleeting depths
Facades appearing and disappearing behind mirrored walls
Boom! Hit the glass and turn around
Boom! Hit another and turn around again
Boom! Hitting yet another dead end
Stop and take stock for just a moment
What differs from the others
Marking a clear path never seemed so hard
Still spinning that wheel to get to the cheese
Caught up in a place where you stand stock still
Hoping to win that marathon on sheer determination
But that’s not...
