The Ancient's Tale (Haiku)
Writing is love
Shared through the passing of words
Told in hushed voices
Words are like soldiers
Fighting for place in the poem
So many choices
Life is a novel
Written by God years ago
The ending is good
A million words long
Our story is told forever
And ever it should
The Ancients will tell
Our tale to all who will listen
In voices like bells
Love it entails
Words will not retain the glory
Grace: The Ancient’s tale
Shared through the passing of words
Told in hushed voices
Words are like soldiers
Fighting for place in the poem
So many choices
Life is a novel
Written by God years ago
The ending is good
A million words long
Our story is told forever
And ever it should
The Ancients will tell
Our tale to all who will listen
In voices like bells
Love it entails
Words will not retain the glory
Grace: The Ancient’s tale

No One Will Hold Back (Haiku)
Holding on to none
Not by my choice but because
No one will hold back
Breathing the same air
Miles away but we are
Just a foot apart
Who am I to want
Love where it cannot be found
Not found in your arms
I wish that it were
I hope that I will not hold
None any more
Not by my choice but because
No one will hold back
Breathing the same air
Miles away but we are
Just a foot apart
Who am I to want
Love where it cannot be found
Not found in your arms
I wish that it were
I hope that I will not hold
None any more

The Music That Never Dies
Calling, chanting to the skies
Singing softly but enough
Flautist dazzling overhead
Wild melody never dies
Brother, come and sing with me
Quick! Before the music dies
Share our love with everyone
Come and dance beneath the tree
Now the drone has started up
Hums drown out the overhead
Unison flows in and out
The vocalist now downs her cup
Everything has softened out
As if her voice were not enough
The melodies escape her throat
Taking with them pain and doubt
Mother Earth herself now cries
Tears escape her...
Singing softly but enough
Flautist dazzling overhead
Wild melody never dies
Brother, come and sing with me
Quick! Before the music dies
Share our love with everyone
Come and dance beneath the tree
Now the drone has started up
Hums drown out the overhead
Unison flows in and out
The vocalist now downs her cup
Everything has softened out
As if her voice were not enough
The melodies escape her throat
Taking with them pain and doubt
Mother Earth herself now cries
Tears escape her...

Happiness Paid in Advance
The light hurts more than any sacrifice
The pain extends into others
From the poison held inside
The richest reward for the highest price
Honest ignorance is replaced
For which there is no price
Replaced with something darker still
The darkest thing you face
The fears become reality
As they culminate inside
The light appears as darkness
And sheer animosity
Brewing hatred all alone
Land mines set for others
Others that never come back
Anger for which you can’t atone
For the light of truth to entice
And call...
The pain extends into others
From the poison held inside
The richest reward for the highest price
Honest ignorance is replaced
For which there is no price
Replaced with something darker still
The darkest thing you face
The fears become reality
As they culminate inside
The light appears as darkness
And sheer animosity
Brewing hatred all alone
Land mines set for others
Others that never come back
Anger for which you can’t atone
For the light of truth to entice

Sacred Cut
Strike to the core and back again
Feed the fear in the hearts of men
Cold steel, turned warm with the soul
Every slash is given in whole
Breath cannot run; it is stopped in its tracks
Life cannot stop the oncoming attack
A glint on the edge; a bead on the tip
A whistle escapes with the trickling drip
Painless and clean; the cut was precise
The victim is slowly escaping from life
Final peace is but butter on bread
Compared to the Feast that they soon will be fed
The task is complete; his work here is done
The warrior returns...
Feed the fear in the hearts of men
Cold steel, turned warm with the soul
Every slash is given in whole
Breath cannot run; it is stopped in its tracks
Life cannot stop the oncoming attack
A glint on the edge; a bead on the tip
A whistle escapes with the trickling drip
Painless and clean; the cut was precise
The victim is slowly escaping from life
Final peace is but butter on bread
Compared to the Feast that they soon will be fed
The task is complete; his work here is done
The warrior returns...

Progressions Ever Circling
It must be something great
To hide behind the strings
And watch us as we listen
Unaware that you feel too:
As we all fall, so will you
But major follows right on cue
The next one standing in the line
Free of tension, sound sublime
Now the air is tense and timed
Beating, changing on a dime
Acoustic breath, synthetic life
The Third Trumpet still heralds strife
We pour our heart and soul inside
Throw it out although we tried
The second time will do the trick
Lest we ignore the third or sixth
Number two replaces...
To hide behind the strings
And watch us as we listen
Unaware that you feel too:
As we all fall, so will you
But major follows right on cue
The next one standing in the line
Free of tension, sound sublime
Now the air is tense and timed
Beating, changing on a dime
Acoustic breath, synthetic life
The Third Trumpet still heralds strife
We pour our heart and soul inside
Throw it out although we tried
The second time will do the trick
Lest we ignore the third or sixth
