POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Love creativity. Regardless of structure. Conveying feelings. Beliefs. Hopes. Fears.
The Soul Speaks
Essences of colliding thoughts
ruminate
revelations of volcanic spots
illuminate
the soul speaks
beyond its worldly wisdom drawn from kings and slaves
above the chronicle of vessels departed in their graves
the soul speaks
to the terminally distracted
to the cosmically attracted
drowning sorrows at bars
weaving and cursing in cars
gazing at planets and stars

St Patrick’s Day Blessing
May dawn’s hope quell midnight’s fear
May wonders spark and blocks disappear
May each moment renew
May your soul always glow
May poetry bless you
Wherever you go
May wonders spark and blocks disappear
May each moment renew
May your soul always glow
May poetry bless you
Wherever you go

Thorns
Thorns mourn the rose
clipped and displayed
to wilt and dispose
in a life and death trade
lost love gone
memories fade
thorns carry on
not lonely but neglected
not bitter but betrayed
not discouraged but rejected
forever unafraid
mourning the rose

not bitter but betrayed

Further Review
Tape replayed
spins fade
truths reveal
scars heal
masks erased
mirrors faced
lies unravel
no judge’s gavel
further review
not me or you
everyone sees
souls at ease

Childhood trauma
backwards karma
dig deeper
bachelors and masters
financial disasters
dig deeper
forced resignations
false allegations
dig deeper
shattered visions
failed decisions
dig deeper
deeper and deeper
through your skin
through your bones
to the soul that lies within
through your craziest twilight zones through dimensions never known
and deeper deeper evermore

Cameras on Poles
Cameras on poles
miss the scene
shrouded in souls
puzzles between
how they shape
events of the day
before they escape
or are stolen away
fleeting and flowing
cause and effect
unwitting or knowing
the lens can’t detect

Working in Faith
It seems morally or logically wrong
to love and have faith in God,
but not always feel I belong,
and wonder how it is odd
with a master so powerful and able
vicious evil causes great pain
and the world is so unstable,
the master plan seems insane.
Free will?
Evil by choice?
Allowed to fulfill
or give cause to rejoice?
Or beyond God’s power?
Or even intended?
Until the final hour
ever extended.
Faith - easier spoken than carried out!
Working through, not by mere command
Battling good reasons to...

but not always feel I belong,
and wonder how it is odd
with a master so powerful and able
vicious evil causes great pain
and the world is so unstable,
the master plan seems insane.

Another Part Of Me Is Lost
Dark room, somber faces,
scattered thoughts, sad embraces,
flash backing years,
choking back tears,
disbelief,
unspeakable grief,
a beautiful path no longer crossed,
another part of me is lost

Heart and Soul
Decision fails
heads or tails
results occurred
mostly heard
reasons behind it
best defined it
numbers roll
heart and soul
eyes gaze toward
score on the board
or the latest poll
from a jagged hole
blame and shame
end in flame
or take their toll
