CONFESSION
I've heard confession is good for the soul
Though I wonder when it's a stairwell to a bottomless hole
Spiraling downward in rings of loneliness
Where no one will listen to a depressing endless tale
Without a witness to absolve the spirit of a body full of sin
Or anyone to care about your honesty at the fatal end
You may as well keep it to yourself
Bottled up with a cork to seal in secret stealth
How no one cared enough to share
The love you nutured within there
A lifetime of emotion filled with hope
Forever dangling at the end of a...

Quake in Aleppo
Quake in Aleppo
The ground shook
And the earth stood up
Wihile the world watched
But no help will come to Aleppo
Cause a tyrant rules
With his russian fools
No help comes to Aleppo
As history crumbles
A land steeped in history
People in misery
Propped up leader assad
Is a puppet of Putin
2 year old boy buried in rubble
But he’s not saved by rubles
Or by Wagner ruthlessly
Killing the innocent’s
Puppet can’t protect his citizens
Propped up by thugs and thieves ...

melancholy malady
the melody plays quietly within my heart
the malady love
pure and deep
dark to the touch
with heady inflections
delicate but powerful
a romance, to make time stand stil
quietly taking a gasp and exhaling sorrow
it seems too much
the passion overwhelming
if it were to fall apart, I would with it
so much a part of who I am is interlaced with your soul
intricately fated to be one
my life balancing precariously on the precpice
if we are to fall, we fall together
into the abyss where...

selah
silent sorrow lilts inside me
sadness not expressed but kept in
secretly tears escape me
where no one can see
there is no place for sorrow
a heavy feeling nobody wants to share
complaining with an ache so great
tiring of it myself
I bear the burden alone
saying my prayers here and there
the Father himself wearys of my grief
grateful for everday even in my hurt
emotions overcome and I balk
feelings so powerful I don't understand
suffering to what end
journaling in my diary

shiny
my emotions build and my sorrow grows
loneliness is friendly within my heart
aching truth, I could love you
tender understanding, I am vulnerable before you
coming to you in my need
a dark hour, I never needed anyone
shattered illusion, is my happiness
when emptiness grows within the groan
and my soul wanders away
towards you again and again
gentle day, when you smile at me
telling my you love me too
my heart wonders did you mean it
sacred doubt you've never met me
you know the best of me

Eclipsed by Time - Tanka
Falling leaves whisper,
echoes of what once had been,
a fleeting embrace,
life’s sorrow, infinite tides,
softly drown the light of youth
echoes of what once had been,
a fleeting embrace,
life’s sorrow, infinite tides,
softly drown the light of youth

Make Adjustment for your life
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words. ✍️ Let's take a moment to really analyze, the very stages of your steps into your own life.
Let's be honest and truthful and subconscious of our own personal thoughts. 🤔 Let's go through somethings, that you have done and not done, in the course of stages. What was your steps into life, within the stages that helped you to make, a decision to make changes.

Tony's Horror
On the day of horror,
Tony was teaching at MIT.
“Can anyone tell me the answer?
No? How astonishing!
Will any of you ever do any work?”
Tony said to his first years
(well, tried not to shout-
they should have done it).
They gaped at him, mostly.
Some scowled.
A couple looked away.
“You don’t get a Fields Medal
from doing nothing.
If you want to achieve what I have,
you’ll need to work.
Not play online chess.
Looking at you, Tia.”
Tia frowned, closed her...

Stop and Listen
Stop collaborate listen
IVF creates new ones
Family starving for a little life
She can’t do what her body requires
Doctor says this can spark a life
Back in the legislature man says
Why do IVF when we are all in pro life
Congressman or congresswoman says
I can rule your life and death until you’re no more
Momma just wanting to Mother
She just can’t deliver little ones
Without a little help welcome modern health
Living in a Red State trying to deliver voters...

Lost My Love
I'm at a loss
I can't come up for air
The celebrations aren't the same without you there
I stay quiet but I want to scream
The circle was broken the absence is felt
Please help me cope
Another death another loss
I can't take what's been taken away
It's just a task to make it day to day
I feel like I'm losing my mind
I feel all alone
I sit in silence
Does anybody else feel this at all?
I can't come up for air
The celebrations aren't the same without you there
I stay quiet but I want to scream
The circle was broken the absence is felt
Please help me cope
Another death another loss
I can't take what's been taken away
It's just a task to make it day to day
I feel like I'm losing my mind
I feel all alone
I sit in silence
Does anybody else feel this at all?

That's All I Ask
If I could just hold you one last time
If I could just hear your voice again
Just to hear you say my name
Just to hold your hand as we watch the setting sun
The hands of the world reached out to you
But you were just somewhere else
We all tried to save you
But you were someone else
I want to cling to the old, familiar and the free
But when I reached for you it was no longer there for me
I can't remember a day when the news wasn't there
Knowing that your gone is our burden to bare
I only saw black that day
Will I ever...

Pause, rewind and replay
Marked by an endless kiss
followed by unspoken bliss
each day another near miss
sweet nothing, is all it is
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and replay...
It's so hard to let this go
yes replaced by the no
wished so much it isn't so
but this is all I'll ever know.
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and...
followed by unspoken bliss
each day another near miss
sweet nothing, is all it is
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
