Just waiting for your call, A Stevie Wonder style ICU GrroveIn this white-washed room, time moves slow,
Monitors beepin’ soft and low,
I got tubes and dreams, but one thing’s clear—
The only medicine I need is your voice in my ear.
Nurses come and go like the wind through the door,
But I’m anchored in a hope I can’t...

PULL ME OUT
Lost
Underneath this despair
Lies darkness that loots
Loots the humanity inside of me
It is darkness I see,not humanity
It is darkness that sees me,not humanity
Dead
Dead
Is the light of hope
Hope for the light that outshines the darkness
Darkness that loots,the sanity inside me
Gloom
Gloom
Fills the heart that loves,that loved
In the time of emptiness
Gloom is what fills me,gloom is...

Trashto sew eyes shut, and turn away
from the face I see each day
a temptation stronger than reason
unyielding as the passing seasons
my voice is tame, common refrain
a quiet whimper, uttered in shame?
yet if I form rhyme with which to speak
does seeking the truth not set you free?
twisting verse into line
against the clock's cruel designs
an upheaval with...

Sincere CondolencesThank you for the card
Your letters are stunning
The door open just a crack
But we know you don’t look back
A question or a ruse
Ready to leave another bruise
I duck and weave against the air
But again you are not there
So I walk over the words
Try to find something unheard
Until I find our familiar pattern
How did I let...

Dogs of War and Why I Feel Sad For The ZionistsBabes. Raised to outfit an agenda. The element of nature versus nurture. A pitbull is a dog like any other as is a Jew is a human like any other. Babes. Any dog any human, raised to be a weapon will be lethal. Babes. Any dog any human honed like a tool sharpened like a...

Profit and loss keep happening
Title of poem-
"Profit and loss keep happening
Sometimes silence is better, innocence is better
The foundation of some complicated relationships is also better
Why worry about this loneliness?
Why fear your own shadow?
Why break some priceless relationships?
Why get swept away by just people's words?
Life's flavor is unique, its rules are also unique
Some sour, some sweet...... some tangled, some untangled
How...

Reflections of the Past, Visions of the FutureI thought this noxious pain would abandon my agonized heart after a while
I thought if I could write better it would ease on me
Maybe my tacks were wrong,
I couldn't find my way to exist, still a character of a juvenile
They mocked my will, my reasons, my need to smile
No matter how old, never will...

CandlelightA single candle emits a faint light
Share the candlelight widely, spreading
Light hundreds to brighten the night
Ignite thousands to blaze our places
The light from a small candle endures
Even the swift wind cannot extinguish it
We can relight one another, for sure
Our sharing will revive time...

She's Someone Close To MeShe sits next to me
As my mind wonder in the dark
You're like a close member of the family.
Let me hug you like this
As the world is needing love
Making you as my last refuge.
Which words I feel
Makes you important in this life
The harsh or gentle words or just soft touch.
My hands keep smelling
Perfume...

We Hold You Close
Beyond this realm
of all we know
exists another
where souls can grow.
A welcome space
proved true by faith
where wings, brand new,
are greeted, embraced.
This special place
of peace and calm
is Heaven for settlers
from far and beyond.
So, when you’re heart aches
as it’s bound to do,
just make sure
you take care of you.
It’s hard to believe,
even harder to accept,
the depth of emotions
so heavy,...

You WantedIn life and in love, you wanted
Someone whose love was true.
And through the ups and downs,
They would always be there for you.
You said that your someone
Would hold on regardless.
Their love would come naturally
And in your relationship be selfless.
It's been known your lover needs
A heart that's as big as yours,
Overfilled with so much affection
That out of...

The CravingA hunger deep, a yearning strong,
A craving's call, where does it belong?
Is it the steak, the burger's bite,
A beefy feast, a savory light?
Or poultry's charm, a chicken's grace,
A turkey's plump, or goose's chase?
The flavors dance, a tempting plea,
But still, the hunger, wild and free.
Perhaps the sea, a briny call,
Clams, lobster, fish, to stand up tall.
Seafood's...

In search of sympathyAll have hassles their own,
All with own fate upset,
With whom to pour my heart?
Under roof-- one common
All suffer self-sown fate,
With whom to pour my heart?
Sad tales, not so unknown,
They all seem to narrate,
With whom to pour my heart?
No one is left alone
If we search, sort, ferret,
With whom...

Finding Comfort
In the silence of a summer thought,
Blessed by the quiet
Who is cold and distraught…
Grief steals the colors of sea and hope
Revealing gray hue
Broken hearts – can we cope?....
In the silence of a wind’s soft breath,
A million tears
Caressing what’s left after her death….
Sorrow chants of a longing, a yearning
Despair in the rain,
Pouring darkness, endlessly turning….
In the...
