Age hasn't softened meAge hasn’t softened me
Weakened me a bit, perhaps
I speak of a truth I’ve earned
Cherish the right to speak it
Often to the trees and stars
Sometimes cursing those in cars
I ponder often the mystery of
Whose truth is truer
Can all truth’s be true
Or must one concede
Tap-0ut in accepted defeat
My mother told us
“the truth only hurts when it’s supposed...

DISHESI'm the vibes, they're the vipers
I give healing, them keep killing
Words my medicine, call me words smith
Deceit and betrayal their weapons
I call them cobra, them are snitches.
I'm the owner
Them the controller
I always act like
I own or know nothing
They're so ruthless
Acting like they own or know it all.
I'm the completer
They're the...

Her Smile Brings Me JoyWhen I first spoke to you, you were quiet and answered first with a smile that was calm.
How come beauty comes in a simple act of random kindness?
It felt like my lips were being kissed by nature’s balm.
Is this the ARK mentioned in responses to life’s rudeness?
I saw that you were similar to me when...

Kiss me with Physical TruthSometimes the best way to love life is by speaking to others that make you smile and feel love!
As men we are given the task of being the pursuer, well this is not always the case.
What can a person say but think of a Snow White Dove!
Wanting a wife and children has now become a...

The chains that bind me
the years of clutter sum total
feel much like a noose around my neck
the memories both good and bad
exhausting in their tonnage
trinkets on shelves
reminders in drawers
paramount to the anchor
out to hold me back
the sea beckons all around me
but i’m fettered in a stalemate
hovering when i should be sailing
how i envy the minimalist
who has mastered the art
of...

Grooming MyselfMy fingernails are filthy
Looks like they are digging ditches while I sleep
I begin to groom myself like a cat
I do not use my tongue, I use other nails
Nails scraping gunk out of other nails
Hoping to put off my bath until Wednesday...

waiting for my new sweatshirtSweatshirts are my favorite clothes
Warm and cuddly, comfy too
I have many as my husband knows
In red, pink, green, gray and blue
My husband has bought me a little gift
A Foghorn Leghorn orange sweatshirt
It will be my favorite if you get my drift
For the prime driver I will stay alert...

To understand me means to walk on a path of thorns in velvetTo understand me means to walk on a path of thorns in velvet,
where the perfume of roses deceives the lungs with its sweetness,
while blood silently flows and waters the earth beneath.
I do not wish to be understood, I exist as an enigma that cannot be grasped,
I am a mystery too deep for anyone's fragile understanding.
I...

Keep Me Away from the MirrorI am not the figure in the glass,
Stiff and hollow, a shell of the past.
When its reflection catches my eye,
Hatred blooms, and I ask why.
Fear ignites, a flame in my chest,
My hand trembles, unable to rest.
When red spills from my skin,
I lift my head, yet cannot win.
Pieces of me are always gone,
The mirror mocks what...

Our lives every day

I amI am me, just me, no one else
the mould got throw after me
not possible to make a copy
I am the original not a fake.
I have taken on life
full in the face
never wavering
just going full steam
Challenges I laughed at
not fearing them
come get me
was my attitude.
Life was for fun
each thing I reached for
was yet another...

Mending
I have mended the morning again.
It was in pieces, parts scattered
everywhere until I gathered in
all that I could hear, smell,
taste, touch and see
and made the morning
come together in me.
With practice it becomes
very easy.

He is the one

TV Commercials Work on MeThese are the toys you will need this year
It is 1959; my tv is near
Saturday morning, we’re watching cartoons
We all need perry puppet made of balloons
Mothers pick up their phones to order one
They are sold out, Christmas will not be so fun
Commercials convinced us kids in fifty-nine
Bending each eager innocent gullible mind
Commercials continue to work...

My children, your births kept me on my kneesTo all my children, may you please be aware!
I don't always show it, but I will always care.
Each of you have been a great gift to me.
Your births made this man happy as can be.
Each came to this world in a very unique way.
Causing me to humble, seek God and to pray.
I'd like to share...
