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.

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...
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...

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.

midnight breeze
the lifeless
candle
could not
show its
breath
on the
wall,
but the
night was
smooth even
without hope
or faith,
night words
left thoughts
in many
minds,
imagination
awake,
going like
a midnight
breeze.

of freedom
i am
in mind
younger
than
in body,
so many
thoughts
possible
like sunsets,
such wisdom
to bless,
adventurous,
a dreamer,
sometimes
i take
my chances,
leave myself
open-minded,
nothing
shameful,
embarrassing,
i am not
opposed
of freedom.

broadening darkness
once, in
my dream,
i was
the moon
smiling
down
for her,
my light
was where
she may
step,
i will
not yield
to the
broadening
darkness,
i will
keep it
at bay
until she
safely
reaches her
destination.

reaching for shore
did you
see the
water creep
like music,
the gulls
sang along,
from far
out deep
your soul
struggled
to push
you
even closer,
reaching
for shore.

floats
her voice
easily
floats
over the
ocean,
and as i
lost sight
of her,
our talk
disappeared,
i felt
as empty
like
someone
with no
secrets,
no hopes
or wishes,
watching
everything
sail away.
