I am sitting here with my mind reeling, my heart beating, and my soul bleeding, wondering how everything flipped. How did the cops become bad guys, the villains become rectified, and spirituality be set aside? Why do we disrespect our protectors, Protect our detractors, and let or children defect from decency? Why is fine… Continue reading Another Day… Another $.50

Screaming in the Dark
Sometimes, just sometimes, don’t you feel like screaming? Don’t you feel like reeling? Letting it all out? Sometimes doesn’t the stress get to you? I mean really get to you? When you thought you figured it out? Don’t you just have those times? Those times when everything goes wrong? Those times you wish to scream… Continue reading Screaming in the Dark
Don't Pass Them By…
See that soldier sitting there? In the wheelchair in the alley there? He’s the one you pass every day, And shake your head in complete disdain. He once was a soldier in defense of our land, And because of illness, he is a forgotten man. He is not there by laziness or choice. He is… Continue reading Don't Pass Them By…
A Girl no Longer
Looking in the mirror I see The girl I can no longer be. Gone are the days of carefree days. Work, bills, and chores have taken their place. I see, instead, a woman there, With lines of worry and much wear. One who has tales that she’s told, And scars she carries of battles old.… Continue reading A Girl no Longer
What Makes a Home?
The floors need sanding. They’re all stripped bare. The plumbing needs fixing. Trees have taken over there. But there are people that live here, And pets that need care. They pay in cuddles and kisses. Love is always found there. A house is made floors, ceilings and walls, But the compassion you find there… Continue reading What Makes a Home?
Of Things missed and people left behind…
Of all the things I've said and heard, Of all things things around, The thing I miss the most it seems, is the one thing that I found. I thought I had love in my grasp those many years ago. I thought I loved him oh so much, that forever wouldn't be slow. … Continue reading Of Things missed and people left behind…
Little One Lost…
Little One Lost I used to wonder how big you were, While you were in my womb. I would marvel at the life in me, The miracle that was you. We would wonder what you would be like, Who you would resemble most. We would joke about the times we'd have, Playing with you, and… Continue reading Little One Lost…
What is Love?
Love is a feeling long desired and often lost. Love is sought by many, no matter the cost. It is a content feeling, a smile while you sleep. The knowledge that it's your heart he keeps. Love is missing him when he is not near. Love is excitement when he is… Continue reading What is Love?
The Good, The Forgotten, and the Protectors…
...A Memorial Day Post. For those who fought in the trenches when the gas was thick and the battles were close, the borders were drawn, but never with fences. Thank you. For those who fought in deserts, streets and on our seas, who flew metal birds and soared among the clouds, and dug… Continue reading The Good, The Forgotten, and the Protectors…
The Store Clerk and the Camper
(A little catharsis isn't a bad thing, right?) It was twenty to four this fateful day. And no one yet had come to play. The clerk, she took her food in hand. To eat her lunch was what she planned. No sooner had she sat down to eat, When a ticket bearer spelled her defeat.… Continue reading The Store Clerk and the Camper
