Some Exciting News

I haven't had a book come out in a while, and I'm proud to announce that my book "The Colors of Me" was released on April 28th, 2022. It has some of my poems from here, but a few were written just for the book and are found nowhere else. If you'd like to take...

I Knew It Was The End

I knew it wouldn't be forever But I thought maybe we could last. I forgot I had this terrible pain Stemming from my past. Treasures we considered unbreakable Now broken on the floor. I'm like the devil that walks right in Instead of knocking at the door. Scenes play over in my head Dancing in...

Someone Should Love Her

Someone should taste the food she cooks Yelling in the kitchen about most everything. Someone should see the sparkle in her eye When she talks about that ring. Should have been there when she did 4H So proud to win the titles. Absent, as usual he was though Because, for him, it wasn't vital. You...

Earth

Nature takes the atmosphere Then turns the lot around. I’d like to say he’s a moron But really he is a clown. Slowly he stands from his knees To take on the reserve. The witch takes the oracle And turns it into Earth. She follows with a deep sigh Because she knows the fate. Humans...

To Not Love You

I would chase rainbows In the dark. Run from a storm, Hide in a park. I’d cry tears Until I died. Fall off a cliff, Until I flied. Walk over coals If it would help. Swim to Mars, To find kelp. Force my heart To hear my head. Find the truth, Within your bed. Grind...

Disengage

Forcing open a concrete door That had never been opened really. Closing on a deafening blow He gives out quite freely. Love attached to anchors Far too heavy to lift. He tries to pull it all away But isn't quite that swift. Dangling feelings from a string Hoping she grabs the bait. Wanting her to...

A Lie

A rose sits in darkness Nobody sees its light. There was once a brilliant defender But he soon gave up the fight. The light that came in from the door Was all it ever saw. The rose knew the world was out there But it has this subtle flaw. A witness once told a story,...

A Place to Die

Used to be looking for a place to make memories To raise children in a warm house full of love. Put up Christmas trees and take them down Knowing it is now behind us and we can move into Spring. Many years of making a comfortable home With many hours of cooking, baking, and preparing...

Sometimes I Don’t Want To

Sometime I just don't want to write Because feelings come back that I want to forget And I've already lost that fight. Sometimes I just don't want to feel At the end of my rope, the ship has sailed And they forgot to give me my last meal. Sometimes I hate being me The indelible...

Some Coffee

Sometimes I sit and think for a minute Of how idiotic you were to believe a liar Over someone that hadn't lied to you. But then again, you did have so much evidence.. Right? One group tried to hate me Made videos to prove it. Another said they liked me Yet during a tragedy wouldn't...

Nothing

An insignificant being A joke you made to friends. Lie you spoke in darkness A thousand unused pens. Dancing around to rain Singing songs you cannot hear. Lightening hitting a burning building Nobody had seen in over a year. Ears that never hear me Lips that never speak. Hands that never touch me It isn't...
