The Beginning
The Beginning
I love spending time on the porch,
observing my day as it walks away,
fading from sight, I close my eyes
pray I am able to relive the moment
with friends and family before I go.
But uncertainties say to pen this poem
and jot down a description, the details,
image of a night that races to sit atop
a lofty position occupied by the brightest star,
a sun’s anger quickly transformed into
blue calm, then grey grief, then nothing
at all until small beams poke holes in a
dark cover, tearing at its fabric allowing light
to once again spill forth, bring hope
assuring all the sun forever shines
no matter what side of the planet its on.

DAY 1
Day one is that day, your day, it can be whatever day, whenever you need it to be. Take that day and breathe deep, meditate, get away, clear your mind, and shake it all away. Then you go back at it once again.
The Finale
The Finale
I on each sleeve
post from within,
the words I sought
in eternities clutch
those never meant to
burn thy eye but
only pierce
the leaking gut
of failed attempts
to mend a fate
with a page that
soaks in pain
my disregard
for his on guard
and stabbed through
by a very thing
an ending spilled
onto the hands
I wear as if a
warriors paint
under a lid
into a soul
and buried in
the darkest place

of you disliking me
I will let you discover
which is more relevant.

An Epigram is a very short, satirical and witty poem usually written as a brief couplet or quatrain. The term epigram is derived from the Greek word ‘epigramma’ meaning inscription. The epigram was cultivated in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by poets like Ben Jonson and John Donne who wrote twenty-one English epigrams.
Into A Dense
Into A Dense
The older a man’s eyes
the more blend becomes
nil, a nonexistent issue-
dept is forgotten
thus perception quakes
at the base as well as
from far up as can be
visualized by grunt
held within the half
of what was holding had
held onto in the light of day
near the first step down
before shadows and the
creaking dark sped
the descent into dense
Listening to two of my favorite songs from two totaly different musical genres bring life into focus and peace to a heart in search of answers
