Now My Turn To
All the older generation have left this site;
the younger in the family look to me.
I am it. Now my turn to shine a light.
After a war-messed life, it was their right
to hand on the baton; leave this scene.
All the older generation have left this site.
I’ve seen certain things; seen military might
trash innocent lives. Stuff refugees.
I am it, now. My turn to shine a light.
Some wisdom passed on; and I’m not quite
sure its value - but they paid their fee.
All the older generation have left this site.
A slow...
the younger in the family look to me.
I am it. Now my turn to shine a light.
After a war-messed life, it was their right
to hand on the baton; leave this scene.
All the older generation have left this site.
I’ve seen certain things; seen military might
trash innocent lives. Stuff refugees.

Needing you
I sit here sipping
My liquid comfort
I need only you
Our souls
I have always
Been a loner, but
I have moments
Where I just need you
Kissing me
Holding my hand
Telling me
That everything's alright
...even when you know
It's not...
My liquid comfort
I need only you
Our souls
I have always
Been a loner, but
I have moments
Where I just need you
Kissing me
Holding my hand
Telling me
That everything's alright
...even when you know
It's not...

Wasted Time
Standing in the rain
as it mingles with my tears.
Pondering how these troubled days,
turned into troubled years.
Cry myself to sleep at night,
over all I put you through.
Listening for the key to turn,
in a door you won't walk through.
My sins have turned to sorrow,
under a dark cloud I created.
Now there's no hope for tomorrow,
Should've loved instead of hated.
Alone except for regret,
and this whiskey, my best friend.
Like every sad, sad story told,
I wish this one would end.
as it mingles with my tears.
Pondering how these troubled days,
turned into troubled years.
Cry myself to sleep at night,
over all I put you through.
Listening for the key to turn,
in a door you won't walk through.
My sins have turned to sorrow,
under a dark cloud I created.
Now there's no hope for tomorrow,
Should've loved instead of hated.
Alone except for regret,
and this whiskey, my best friend.
Like every sad, sad story told,
I wish this one would end.

No Respect
I am fundamentally
Your
Foundation
The sole reason your thoughts
Center
A never ending torrent
Fueling your ego
Yet,
you keep me
Always
Right outside my comfort zone
Never wanting me to get
“To comfortable”
I’m secure,
Yet never secured
I get fingered, but
Never fingerbanged
Prepubescent interactions solely…
Keeping me at a distance
You know that long distance love type of thang
Similes and metaphors
Roll off your tongue ...

I Am A Tree
I
I am a tree
Born beautifully free
Just as the trees before me
My many branches dangle
Circling whimsical leaves entangled
Sketching creative ideas where wrangled
Where you grow in feet
I grow in knowledge
Where in age your wisdom will meet
While mine is earned in college
I am a tree
Born beautifully free
Rooted by the positive soil around me
You drink from the waters of the earth
Where my water comes from the scars of birth
I shall never feel timber
For I know my
worth
I am a tree
Born beautifully free
Just as the trees before me
My many branches dangle
Circling whimsical leaves entangled
Sketching creative ideas where wrangled
Where you grow in feet
I grow in knowledge
Where in age your wisdom will meet
While mine is earned in college
I am a tree
Born beautifully free
Rooted by the positive soil around me
You drink from the waters of the earth
Where my water comes from the scars of birth
I shall never feel timber
For I know my
worth

Change
I.
(An achievement)
Miles beneath my heels
Discipline in consumption
I am becoming
..
II.
(A happy moment)
Wind song on water
Sunlight on my upturned face
A seed of wild hope
..
III.
(A lesson I’ve learned)
Self love is central
Still radiating outwards
Ecstasy of pain
..
IV.
(A proud moment)
I teach you English
Amidst our conversations
You teach me of peace
..
V.
(My wish for the future)
...

I Failed Youth
for now
that time alone
I crave in magnitude
and so
be you brilliant, moon gazer
yearning at your soul
of stings unseen
untangle
the web of my zodiac
disperse these moods
center me
enveloped in your midnight cold
yarn me moonbeams
of iridescence
ancients once told of
but I failed to show
and I lost my home
should I have known?

GRATEFUL
1.
One point eight stones thrown
mighty proud of sheckels shucked
feet and knees applaud
2.
Far off paradise
by magic medium shared
wǒ ài nǐ bàba (我爱你爸爸)
3.
Happiness master
choose your misery or bliss
true smiles can’t be forced
4.
Model of kindness
so says her teacher and peers
daughter, light the world
5.
Civil thought prevail
banishing highly placed fools
sate my thirst for peace
