The lens, a cold and unblinking eye, Surveys the streets, the corners, and the squares, A silent witness passing moments by, Recording joys and sorrows, hopes and snares. It sees the hurried footsteps in the rain, The lovers' whispered vows beneath the moon, The fleeting glimpse of pleasure and of pain, The thief's swift hand beneath the afternoon. Does it observe with judgment...

Attempt, attempt, attempt, I try, I do, but find success a frightful,fretful sort of creature.—.landing always just so short for you,—my victories?: far less than few. From void to verse then verse now void,—but you reject my voice,else’y*u[ / , u ]d*stort it, and to good will ill intent impart; My inspiration, skewered by your view, lies fallow in your lap.—Tell, what’s...

Our hearts romanticize the vagabond. To walk away from all that brings you down. It’s true we’re free to get up and be gone. In search of new horizons to be found. Always snipping at the ties that bind us And doing all you would just as you may. Worries can all just be left behind us. ‘Cause in the morn we...

Is it mere game, a clever...

The ribbon winds, a serpent through the green, Zigzagging upward where the cool winds blow, A concrete path where earthly sights convene With skies above, a panoramic show. Each curve conceals what lies just up ahead, A constant shift, a journey unforeseen, Demanding focus, banishing all dread, As through the bends the waiting view is gleaned. Does life itself not mimic this ascent, With...

Love has been described as a battlefield as it can leave us with scars that can be seen and unseen by others. Especially when the notes are singing in harmony. A Harmony that is purely Bella to the fall of the first winter snow. Snow that calms the hot ground from the heat that escaped...

When I first saw you, my heartbeat became lower All of my stress started to leave my body as your eyes met mine Your look and smile were a fresh breath of air from a blower Your hair was the color of Raven which made you look fine As you walked each aisle, I noticed your steps were wide...

When 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...

Sometimes 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...

As the man walks alone he sees the joy from the counsel that has become the Pharisees. They have given the oath of rituals that pertain to the past and not for the future. Looking at the actions and expectations, he sees them like the corrupted Phrarisees. What they have done is go against the Edenic beauty of...

As I am walking through the alley of despair, all I see is pain Gently, eyeing the windows of the person’s soul and hiding my love to be bare So far it has become my bane When I was in love with her, it met with a stare Decisions of the past have crippled your heart I could not say...
