No More Games
One day I stopped hating
I ceased all meaningless activity
I completed the circle
I set my sights straight
Like an arrow I flew
I stopped acting
I got tired of playing with you
Violence & destruction became my reason for living
My out, my excuse
What is your excuse?
Destruction
Without hate, without fear, without judgement
I am no better then you
No one knows this better then I do
I just got tired of playing parlor games
I ceased all meaningless activity
I completed the circle
I set my sights straight
Like an arrow I flew
I stopped acting
I got tired of playing with you
Violence & destruction became my reason for living
My out, my excuse
What is your excuse?
Destruction
Without hate, without fear, without judgement
I am no better then you
No one knows this better then I do
I just got tired of playing parlor games

Hand and Eye
My little guy has got the hand and eye
See a shape and put your hands in place
To receive what I’m delivering
As it’s coming in…depth perception kicks in
Two points on a map and intersect where you should be
He sees the ball and anticipates where
And what direction
The passing wind can have an effect
You have to put that into the equation
Split second decisions between hand and eye
When you hawk that ball and hunt it down
It ends up positive with clapping all around
Next thing you know you helped...

The Next Idea
Here I go again
Throwing words around
I only ever get it right
Maybe 10% of the time
And it makes me wonder why I try
Sometimes anyway
Other times I'm just like every other poet on here
Just working hard and hoping against hope
That the next toss of the alphabet
Will be something that I can be proud of
If not I'll wonder how I could possibly fuck up
Such a surefire idea
And then get excited all over again
When I have the next one
Ah, a life with words
And emotions
It gives me an idea for a poem
Throwing words around
I only ever get it right
Maybe 10% of the time
And it makes me wonder why I try
Sometimes anyway
Other times I'm just like every other poet on here
Just working hard and hoping against hope
That the next toss of the alphabet
Will be something that I can be proud of
If not I'll wonder how I could possibly fuck up
Such a surefire idea
And then get excited all over again
When I have the next one
Ah, a life with words
And emotions
It gives me an idea for a poem

Train (Revised)
Metal against steel.
Fiery carbon, for tracks, hot rolled.
That distant bolt of light, spreads it's blinding sheath, on it's horizontal climb.
It's far-off whistle, becomes a horn, nearer now.
Sudden turns, are negotiation.
Rumbling becomes rhythm....an axel, hitting it's stride.
A fire bellows, at "her" base....
Swelled metal hips.... swaying....
The night sky, is turned grey, with determination.
Grinding to a stop....
The air is acrid with exhaust....but "she" untired.

Put in the Work
PUT IN THE WORK,
even if your LIFE
DEPENDS ON IT,
The MORROW of the STORY IS:
PUSH AND DON'T QUIT!!!
YES, THE CHALLENGE
can be HARD, but
HARD WORK PAYS OFF!!!
YOU ARE STRONGER
THAN YOU THINK, and
YOU ARE SO TOUGH!!!
HANG IN THERE and
GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT,
KEEP CLIMBING that MOUNTAIN
UNTIL YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOP!!
YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO
YOUR GOAL,
DON'T STOP!!
We ALL Have STRUGGLES,
we ALL have FEARS,
we ALL have DOWNFALLS,
and SHED MANY...

power of hope
let the
power
of hope
not cloud
the mind,
let those
thoughts
whether
outrageous
or austere
escape,
give them
merit and
substance.

Up And At ’Em
Up and at ‘em…When I just wanna sleep
As luck would have it, I can only fathom having this peace…
Some imagined reprieve, that I could handle with ease, to turn the war and win the battle in me…
Dear Lord,
I plead for more…From the ground floor to soar
High from a balcony, where ancient alchemy’s released
Confounding winds with a baffling breeze
I dabble in these
Within my rabble-rousing skin
My spirit calls for action and the grappling begins…
Through the lens of these esoteric factions
Lives the fractious…Not enamored...

Special
No one knows when their end comes
No one knows when tragedy will strike
No one knows what the future will bring
But we can make this life special
By being here while we are here
This is the secret
That now enriches my life
You can not stop the worries from coming
You can not stop the thoughts and feelings
What matters is how you deal with them
And the way to deal with them is to choose
What thoughts and feelings you focus on
And engage with
This is your freedom
Always
It can't be taken away...

In My Car
Crazy how sex and love is a mystery,
You can make love, save it in history.
Choose lust and regret, like on NDE,
I choose it now and see it on DVD.
In dilemma in this vehicle,
At a T-junction, hoping for a miracle.
Left or right, I’m under pressure,
It’s time to put that DVD on and give myself pleasure.
Feels like this car is not enough,
Water won’t clear the front window rough.
I cannot see clearly—green or red?
Guess I must innovate, open the side window instead.
In this car, trying to please everybody, ...

unrelenting
you there
flower,
you were
born into
a world
of unknown,
but you
realized
what your
purpose
is from
your
beginning,
you know
to follow
your heart,
destiny,
each instance
unrelenting,
when ready
you bloom.
