POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing poems since I was 13 years old. I have had many publications of individual poems in newspapers, magazines, electronic forums, and on radio.

PeaceRevolution
An eye for an eye will only make the whole
world blind.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
turbulent skies don fancy clouds
tempers red hot whose moods enshroud
poor men's better judgment
sentiments bruised by fearsome angst
ember and burn the hills amongst
with a strange estrangement
what now the lens of human mien
whose troubles sweep swift and unseen
unsuspecting sluggards
has reason died without a will
intestate full, conscience death still
bellyful for buzzards
there is a better way of life ...

guilty
i turn the other cheek
and find how strong i am
to face someone so weak.
the bleeding lamb
accepts the altar call
because the life he gives
the ransom pays for all.
the dead now lives
because when pride is slain
and self is sacrificed
virtue shall rise again.
the victim Christ
redeems the humble slave
abases haughty kings
and makes the fearful brave.
guilty, he sings
if loving is a crime
and probity a fault
then let me serve my time.
i am the salt

from the ledge—the wising-up of innocence
I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love,
and then I am ridiculously stupid.—Taylor Swift
got my face turned to the wall
cause my eyes can't see much further anymore
as my dreams lie limp before me on the floor
should i melt, a waxen ball
will you hear me if i call
tho my heart hurts to its bitter, dying core
got my fingers in my ears
cause i cannot bear to hear you anymore
when your vacant promises i so abhor
are you caught up in my tears
tho your love lags in arrears
is your desperate cry trust's only...

A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger (Prov. 15:1 KJV).
you and me,
person to person:
let's talk it over,
stem that war,
because the anger in your eyes
flames with the ire of troubled skies.
can't you see
there is no reason
to run for cover?
let's just spar.
the evil deed is not yet done:
let's dialogue without the gun!
cutting words
bloody as metal,
lyric defilement
base and selfish,
incite uncivil wars among
disciples of the devil's throng.
