Principles of Success in Haiku
Timed Achievement
A goal timed with care,
each step woven with purpose,
the end line in sight.
Peaceful Resolve
Clear conscience, like light,
guides calmly toward your aim,
strong and sure of self.
Fading in Shadows
Misery awaits,
for those pleasing all but self
dreams lost in shadow.
Bound by Purpose
A man bound within,
purpose wrapped tight in silence,
seeking a new path.

Lying Sorrows
At the foot of a mountain
Every precipice a false summit
Every peak stands tall but is still just a valley
Tending to dying gardens on repeat
Every season of our glory is temporal
Every breath we take but a means to an end
Caught in routine ruts and count downs to moments of fleeting beauty
Constructing a perishing kingdom
A slow fix for a sinking ship
Capsizing, it’s a losing battle to salvage the vessel
No escapes but for rescues
Living like this is the end all be all
Making our beds in transition
This waiting room...
Every precipice a false summit
Every peak stands tall but is still just a valley
Tending to dying gardens on repeat
Every season of our glory is temporal
Every breath we take but a means to an end
Caught in routine ruts and count downs to moments of fleeting beauty
Constructing a perishing kingdom
A slow fix for a sinking ship
Capsizing, it’s a losing battle to salvage the vessel
No escapes but for rescues
Living like this is the end all be all
Making our beds in transition
This waiting room...

If only I had been
Do I believe in reincarnation, the answer is no
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go
I believe my ship came and went
I think my tokens have all been spent
When my chances came, I took the bus
I've got nothing left but total disgust
Think my world is coming to an end
I'm left without a penny to spend
I wasn't brave enough to do something with my life
~Chorus~
If only I had taken that chance
If only I had stepped out on that limb
Maybe I could have been someone
Instead of sinking I could...
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go
I believe my ship came and went
I think my tokens have all been spent
When my chances came, I took the bus
I've got nothing left but total disgust
Think my world is coming to an end
I'm left without a penny to spend
I wasn't brave enough to do something with my life
~Chorus~
If only I had taken that chance
If only I had stepped out on that limb
Maybe I could have been someone
Instead of sinking I could...

Crawl, Stand, Walk
Hi World, I've realized that I'm content/ I use to fight my reality and didn't relent/ but the more I changed the more I began to resent/ My recent changes/ my personal changing stages/ only brought me back to the place of lack/ almost like I'm only able to stack and or perpetuate the problems in my life/ Frustration grew and I thought my means of salvation is through the barrel of a gun or knife/ My personal Strife kept me at a low state/ However I'm not mad/ I guess you can say I'm glad/ it seemed so bad and I was at a place where I kept saying I wish things were different or I wish I had/...

Where I call home
girl me and you
kinda remind me
Of johnny and June
All the years
so many smiles,
we've had our share of tears .
oh how we burned up
the miles,
A whole lot of glad,
a handful of sad,
Many memories
We've had
with each other
I swear Ill never have another
Ill Ever again call my lover,
It's where I'll run to
when my crazy world
Comes unglued,
When life's got me
feeling so dam small
I can't bear
the weight of it all,
Your love is
my heart's telephone,
I'll dial you...

fullness of life
I came to a clear conclusion, and it is a universal one: To live, to struggle,
to be in love with life—in love with all life holds, joyful or sorrowful—is
fulfillment. The fullness of life is open to all of us.”—Betty Smith
‘tis not life’s fleeting flings
that lend me substance,
nor furtive johncrow wings
that give me distance
from things mundane o’er which
a wild world clamours.
my fabric takes its stitch

We're Happy and In Love
Tomorrow is a special day for my girlfriend & I. We're celebrating our one year anniversary without him. You may ask who is him, well him was my girlfriends ex-boyfriend who couldn't accept the fact that her & I were madly in love.
What led up to June 18th being our one year anniversary is a tragedy for him, not us. At one point after New Years, she decided to break it off with him. There were issues that were typical for a boyfriend & girlfriend. Jealousy, poor communication and affairs. He had other girl friends and would deny he cheated on her numerous times. A few...

I search all the time for answers
spend countless hours in self-reflection
it's true...I make changes

I struggle just to show up
frequently I...can't
my bed has a permanent indentation
in the fetal position
what kind of life is that...
living my existence like it's a cameo appearance
...barely visible

I was so afraid of rocking boats

Death By Taxes
Exploiting the need
Setting the cost of this dead end living
In this system, the consumer is the feed
Lives for auction, waged efforts in short changed bidding
Cycles of debt make up bondages of dependency
Desperation to control in this market of captivity
Oppressive price tags and credit scores to earn a right to owe
Qualifying for financial burdens
They own the ground in which we sow
Harvesting more costly endeavors in this death grip for a home
Culture of the illusion of success
Retirement savings for future...

Freddy Krueger
(Inspired by the movie Dream Scenario)
Lost in derivative experiences comprised
A pseudo collective consciousness in a world behind our eyes
Picking up on hacked signals that swell beneath in stillness as we breathe
We dream in silence louder than a whisper as our hearts unsheathe
Imagination informants whistle blowing
Monsters in the closets of an un-event
Where is all of this going?
Torn between a life of struggle or suffering the pedestal spent
Side effects of a common threat of our own humanity

The Flea Trainer
The Flea Trainer
I can see fleas on tiny seesaws,
sitting tiny swings that sway,
contented and bored to just pass the time.
How came they conditioned this way?
First, put the fleas within a jar
then place the lid on top.
The fleas will jump and jump and jump
hitting glass and lid with knocks
and after a while the muscles condition
the jump to avoid the pain
of colliding with lid and glass so hard
over and over again.
You can remove the lid. Let out the fleas,
even put them on swings that sway. ...
