Fireworks and gunfire
People say that you can’t tell the difference of a scream of joy from a scream of pain. A scream of pain is a scream of anger Guttural, loud, violent , Gunfire that is ricocheting Through your mind, body, soul. A scream of joy is a breath of fresh air, A sense of calm that is washed over you. While...

Fireworks
With booms and wheezes The fireflies it teases With sizzles and cracks We remember our anger of tax With smoke and lights We remember our rights Children scream with fear and joy This is greater than any toy We hope with all this sound Nothing will burn to the ground With the sky ablaze Even the stars glaze With red and green Filled with its mighty sheen And orange...

was love meant to last?
I always promised myself that if i found the love of my life and eventually the fireworks ended and the sparks drifted slowly towards the grass, I would do whatever I could to light that fire again. I told myself I would tread through treacherous waters burn myself in the process of trying to light things up again, run across the world in search of an answer, a glimpse of...

Voice of Restraint
"Am I the All You Need?" Slow to detect His voice, my fists are clenched to hit. Do I require restraints? I'm mad enough to spit. "Am I the All You Need? " The prompt now clearly heard. Yet still I rave and rant - discerning God’s clear "STOP" searing sparks to supplant. "Am I the All You Need?" incessant, faint but firm. My selfish wrath delayed; I...

Fireworks around the globe Each a brilliant display Marking end of one calendar, Another New Years Day Will this be the year the rich decide to give A little of what they have To help the poor to live Fill the empty mansions relieve the constant stres For least some those on The streets and homeless Will tax avoidance reduce As they decide it’s only fair The...

They shoot me up into the sky I hear the crowd The young one’s voices screaming with delight uncomfortable laughter of the old ones They know how dangerous I am Not yet! I tell myself. Hold on. Not yet! POP! I fizzle down into gorgeous lights I never know my colors until the pop I am showering bits of glitzy prettiness into the sky My...

Fourth of July
A dolphin ride in a lake that's green While covered in a greasy sheen Cooking under my sunscreen My father throws me high Hungry now and out of breath Underwater I go deaf Splashing up to see what's left Of sandwiches to try Fireworks explode above Mother hugs me, full of love And I fit just like a glove Oh, Fourth of July...

Beside Behind Water and Fire
In the hot A-Ga-Ming night My wife and I skip the July 4th fireworks At the sandbar down south on long Torch Lake Start our own shoreline fire Count the red electrified dorsal fins Of the motorboat salmon swimming upstream Migrating home from the explosions in the sky 20, 50, 80 a hundred 200 in an hour Rainbow tsunami Our dock leans rickety to...

Fireworks
Colors splashed across the sky and so did you; moonbeams sparkled in the air and so did you; music danced its seductive beat and so did you; One night... every night I do need you so!...

It's the Fourth of July. Remember... With fireworks above You flew like the wind to be by my side As they roared with rage I teased, but I held you close Like always My hands covered your little ears And your little hands covered mine I watched you watch sky My little sister. * It's the Fourth of July. Remember... With fireworks above We were the embodiment of youth Carefree as...
