Truth
Words written without passion, contains no steel, and therefore are brittle to the touch. Such are the truest words ever spoken, never made it past the lips of those who held them so tightly to their hearts.

treasure
That which is hidden
can never be claimed
nor truly cherished
Love is a treasure
that should not be
withheld, or hidden

Love is a treasure

Scars of the heart
How can the heart trust
when the wounds from the past
have not yet healed enough
to become scars..

Broken Spirit
A broken heart, like the spirit
cannot heal without the loving
touch of kindness or forgiveness
from those most dear,
or even a stranger...

untitled
Some might say, those with the most toys wins.. I however feel, those kind of people simply have an emptiness which can never be filled.
Those who cannot accept themselves for who they are, will never find happiness, nor will ever be complete.

Don't Worry, I'm Fine..
Don’t worry; I’m Fine.
It was the summer of 1992. A typical Friday night and we had just stepped out of a dimly lit bar and climbed on our motorcycles, I had a sleek black 920cc Virago that I cherished. The evening air had just been cooled from a light rain. I had decided to make a quick run to the nearest ATM with my friend Richard, so we could stay a bit longer and party with some new found friends. There were those who tried to warn us that we have had too much to drink to be driving, but when you’re drunk, you just don’t realize it.

The Stones Of My Cell
As I ponder about the cell for which I’ve made for myself, I am without fear, for no one can now touch me. As each day passes, the stones harden with the experience and failures of my youth. I’m afraid to let anyone in due to the pain I’ve suffered, and the harm I’ve caused to others in the past.
People speak of love, forgiveness and the joys of freedom, as though they were something tangible; but what of the heartbreak of loss, the hatred of jealousy , or the anguish of not being able to share the love long held and often hidden, from whom who can only be described as ‘the one’. ...

My Niece
What is it she hears
that which I cannot
What is it she sees
that escapes my senses
What is it she feels
that I'm numb to
In her world of silence,
how frustrating it must be,
not being able to hear
ones own name
spoken by a loved one
or the melody of a sonnet
In a world filled with so many
hardships.... she seems only to
see the beauty.
(I wrote this for my niece, who lost her hearing in infancy, due to a high fever)

Death
As I lay upon the ground, I can feel my life force leaving me. As my blood begins to pool onto the ground, I look for a familiar face and find none. I'm going to die alone.. I then feel a rain drop upon my cheek; as I look unto the heavens, I see the Angels weep, and I realize.. I was never alone... and I smile.
