Futility
I know you’re out there,
I can feel your pain, so
Into a thousand miles of darkness
My spirit soars…
A hawk … hunting
An eagle … searching
Pegasus on a quest
For the heart that is breaking
And once found, what then?
I pound like a butterfly on the walls
Of the shell you’ve made your prison
My cries are all in vain
Echoing faintly back to mock me
For Heaven knows I am powerless
To save you from yourself
The quest must end in sadness
As I watch your soul disappear.
I can feel your pain, so
Into a thousand miles of darkness
My spirit soars…
A hawk … hunting
An eagle … searching
Pegasus on a quest
For the heart that is breaking
And once found, what then?
I pound like a butterfly on the walls
Of the shell you’ve made your prison
My cries are all in vain
Echoing faintly back to mock me
For Heaven knows I am powerless
To save you from yourself
The quest must end in sadness
As I watch your soul disappear.

Existence
Ur presence lingers . .
To the profundity of my thoughts
The complexities of my emotions
And the unyielding will to survive
I implore you to sustain
Me with thy tenacity
So that even the deepest hurt
wont sway and topple my existence.
For your love . . . .
is the only phletora i know of
That sustains me with this very breath
Through this life
To infinity and beyond.

Book Of Rhymes 2
I'm a man that can stand on his own two feet
I'm a humble empath but I'm far from sweet
I've accomplished feats that I didn't think I could
Survived more storms than I thought I would
Stood on my square; remaining firmly there
Trials & tribulations have caused gray hair
Life ain't fair nor a crystal stair for many
Trying to evade negative energy
Could lead symphonies of tiny violins
Won't do it because the struggle never ends
They're appended to this thing that we call life
Only the strong survive; enduring...

Blue
Your son is on the spectrum"
Six words I'd never thought I'd hear
Yet here we are with my five-year old son
The therapist's words were crystal clear
At the time it was one of the hardest days if my life
I did my research and was prepared
Couldn't say the same for my wife
She was in denial. Couldn't see the light
She was petrified, but I knew we'd be alright
I saw it for myself in his lack of eye contact
Saw it in his eating habits and social skills he lacked
The infatuation he had with the color blue
"Daddy, there's turquoise, navy,...

CLARITY
I brush my feet across
The hot coals while feeling
A light sprinkle of water
Drip on the back of my neck
And slide down my back
While the sunlight beats down
Making the coals flare up
I look to the sky hopeful
For another droplet of water
And I watch the clouds turn
Black and fall from the sky
Blanketing the coals forming
A mist of white energy that
Slowly absorbs the oxygen
I hit my knees gasping for
Air when I notice a light
Piercing through the mist
Evaporating...
The hot coals while feeling
A light sprinkle of water
Drip on the back of my neck
And slide down my back
While the sunlight beats down
Making the coals flare up
I look to the sky hopeful
For another droplet of water
And I watch the clouds turn
Black and fall from the sky
Blanketing the coals forming
A mist of white energy that
Slowly absorbs the oxygen
I hit my knees gasping for
Air when I notice a light
Piercing through the mist

SHALL I TRUST THE VOICE OF CRITICS?
WONDER
I have since grammar school,
specifically in high school,
and dogmatically in university,
wondered why the voices and pens
of critics were so powerful.
How many futures, talents,
and dreams have perished
because of some so-called
critics comment.
Yes, there is a valid place
for critique and criticism
in certain fields, e.g. medicine
and other sciences where proven
and tested lab standards
are the guides for remarks.
Most critics are more opinionated
than demonstrated by their own
creations...

universal deep brewed truth (pt. 6 in a neverending series)
the smallish noises
heated and pressed down
hard, into granular
slow, with strength of purpose
a crescendo
leads to the perfect cacophony
of like and so many before ~ yet new
a deep pure love
in glory of stark
and honed honesty of true
unyielding in all the protection of clarity
my heart restarts each morning
as my mouth confirms what love really is
all doubts fade as the light unfolds
disorder and chaos are of fictionalized
sense(s), slowly restores
with each tendril of warmth extended

Pleading -
she was there
her needing eyes
waited
where sighs
stood with hope
even in silence
between hours
between
her dreams
emotions rose
carved
deeply
where passion
grew
she did not
speak
instead
her soul sang
as she danced
her words
free
her needing eyes
waited
where sighs
stood with hope
even in silence
between hours
between
her dreams
emotions rose
carved
deeply
where passion
grew
she did not
speak
instead
her soul sang
as she danced
her words
free

Hide and See(k)
Cut the bullshit
His words coated in love
A love that sees and understands
This is not the you speaking from your core
He's already opened up the door
Stop hiding
The scars that cover your skin and soul
The truth you keep under your tongue
The light that desperately wants to break through
The universe hiding inside of you
His words coated in love
A love that sees and understands
This is not the you speaking from your core
He's already opened up the door
Stop hiding
The scars that cover your skin and soul
The truth you keep under your tongue
The light that desperately wants to break through
The universe hiding inside of you

Fragility
She was the embodiment of broken,
hard seashells ran ragged through rough terrains endured navigating the seas of life.
Despite her strength, her essence scattered into a million minuscule grains along the sea shore.
Forged in the fires, a heavenly light brought her back to life.
Resuscitated by the brilliance of a lightning strike.
The storm now rages on inside her heart.
Her rebirth brings strength intertwined with fragility
what once was broken is easily fractured again
A soul pieced back together still remembers the cracks ...
