A Short Poem on Creativity

I think everyone should create;

Sing, dance, draw, write

Paint, build, weave, invent

You’re the only one who can shine your light.

Live in the Present

Our most difficult task is to live in the present
Yes, this must be our most difficult task
To live truly free, from the angst of the future
All chains broken, from the links of the past

Our most pressing issue, our deepest concern
Our happiness well, the love for which we yearn
All here in the present, waiting for us
Though it is difficult, meet there we must

The only place where God exists
The here, the now, a heavenly bliss
While all the world serves to distract
To live in the present, our most difficult task.

I Write, to Find Out What I Know

I write, to find out what I know
Life is but a circus, and you have just one show
Is there more than meets the eye?
Is your audience watching a lie?
I write, to find out what I know

I write, to find out who I am
The Universe’s an endless beach, and you one speck of sand
Have you lost yourself among the others?
Surrounded by your friends and lovers
I write, to find out who I am

I write, to share the love within
A shining light above the crowds that fill a sea of sin
They say you get back what you give
If you had one day left to live
I write, to share the love within

 

The Break Up Poem

Breaking up is hard to do
Especially with a guy like you
Who’s smart and funny
Tender loving
Always tough to say it’s through

I wonder why we started at all
Raising you up, just to let you fall
Silly me, it’s always me
You tried and failed
to climb my wall

Zipper locked and stored away
Not even I know how to play
the game of love with my own heart
I try and try until it falls apart

This time it’s not you, it’s me
No matter how contrite that seems
You, you’ll find the woman of your dreams
And I’m just sorry that it wasn’t me

A Poem About How God Loves Me Through My Dog

1379782_2556837925772_66626246_n

So cute and cuddly
How I’m blessed by such a thing
A fuzzy ball of fur and joy
Who gives me cause to sing
A funny little love bug
Who stares at me for clues
Yet in his eyes, I see No Thing
‘Cause in his eyes, is You.

Loving Me Is A Work of Art

When I’m going down

       I don’t want you to follow me

       You come around and the best of me is known

       But when you leave I fall apart, yea I’m a mess, you see

       And loving me is a work of art

work of art

Heartbreak Hero

Heartbreak Hero

       Come take my lovin’ away

       Heartbreak Hero

       Won’t you fly in and save the day

       Never know when you’re coming

       Never know how long you’ll stay

       You’re my heartbreak hero

Couldn’t have you any other way

heartbreak

A Poem on Loss

A poem on loss. For all those who have lost someone you love and wondered if you will ever get to see them again.

“I Simply Can’t Be Convinced”

 I can’t be convinced I won’t see him again.

I simply can’t be convinced.

I feel him all around me

His very breath awakens my sixth sense.

I wonder when you’re so entwined

And someone you love passes through

If a part of them stays left behind

Running like veins inside of you

Not only is he all around me,

Stitching my wounds with his personal thread

He’s watching me as I sleep soundly,

Filling my dreams and emptying my head.

I know that I can’t see him

I understand that he’s no longer here

But by God did I believe him

When he said, “I’ll see you soon, my dear.”

The last words that we spoke in person

But our souls whisper every day

I just close my eyes

See his face

Hear his voice

And

Pray.

Never Trust Your Eyes

If the human mind

from its inception

is deceitful in all

of its recollections,

then the human eyes,

which form perception,

must constitute the

greatest deception.

A Poem: “Suffering Is”

Suffering is

the dark cloud

that produces tears

like

rain

watering the flower

of compassion,

enabling it

to

grow.
