There is Hope
Yet, deep within me
Resides a place of great light
Balancing darkness

Love Sick
Stomach somewhat soured
Churning from your words
Like bile spat in my face
Your truth now has emerged
Heaving contempt for me
Bubbling off your tongue
The acidic slight toward my affection
Has left my heart unstrung
True love leaves you nauseous
More bitter as it grows
But when you belch your rejection
Your fear is left exposed

The Effect of Music
Listening to the music
I try to linger on each note
But the next forces me forward
Keeping me in the moment

My Sun is Setting
A brilliant light
Blinds my eyes
But warms my decaying soul
I am dying
I do not ask for redemption
I have lived a just life
I have not repented for my sins
There are no such things
I have answered to myself, always
I have forgiven myself, daily
If there is a God that lives within me
Then I have done right in this world
And if there is not
Then no amount of last-minute gestures
Will help me pass or ease my pain
I cross-over with peace in my heart
Ready to live and love again

Growing Up
For years my mind ruled me
Kept itself busy with thought
Ran wild with what ifs, if onlys,
Should haves
Unchecked
I could spend hours sitting and thinking
About a single situation
That had not yet occurred
Obsessing
Carrying on conversations
With someone who was not with me
Present
Angry about what they might say
Arguing
I am in the process of putting that person away
The brain is not as smart as it thinks it is
Living a conscience life begets wisdom
And that resides in the heart

It is Still Winter
Bright and sunny day
Looks warm and invites one out
Bitter cold ruse though

and yet
I am trying not to think about
The way the World now is
I do not want to give it
Any of my energy
Even with all of the hope
Our new President does bring
Singing of the possibility of
Rebuilding humanity
Yet in the face of this
I have not heard him utter
The solitary idea I think
Could make this a reality
For the human race
To truly love mankind
He must repeal the right of personhood
Bestowed upon corporate entities
