My current poetry project is random and free.  I write about whatever catches my imagination in a given moment.  Some of my poems become song lyrics, and some never see the light of day.  On this site, you will find some of that randomness.

Colors of Winter

Gladly

I have witnessed

different, lovely shades

of Winter Whites

and Frozen Grays

Today

I celebrate the Blues

and glimpses,

however fleeting

of Sunlight

Still Dreaming

 None of this is real

Peace and understanding

Hate filled grudges

Love and compassion

Vengeful devastation

 

Miles of new road

And wasted walkways

Empty fortresses

Dead encampments

 

The mind, emotion, thoughts, and heart

Blinking, eternal, instant and forever

 

The fight is in your head

The struggle and the bliss

It’s all in your head

 

Wake up

Still dreaming

Wake up

Still dreaming

Nope

Sorry

Still dreaming

WAKE UP!

The Colony

They brought us to the island of despair

To make a home

They left us here

They didn’t want to think of us

It was a conscience thing

They didn’t want to see us die

They didn’t want to catch it

The island called THE GIVEN GRAVE

Was our jail

They isolated out disease

And took away our dignity

They didn’t want to touch us

They took us from our families

They didn’t want to breathe our air

Generation after each

They left us here

Then out of fear

They found a cure

And about a hundred years later

They want to set us free

They say they’ll make us clean

And give us their disease

Why can’t they leave us here?
