Fia, This is the song that defined my teenage years. As always the lyrics are key. They will be down below. This is my favorite version and performance off of MTV’s Unplugged.

Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught…Read More

Four minutes left

Just like my words

Leaving me in my time of need

It does not matter what I do because the words wont come out

Two minutes left

I am done for and its for the best 

Its pressure on top of pressure

No more time….

My poetry is all in the picture … Sorry might have to read sideways

Honor, Respect, Loyalty

Honor was not just a word 

It was inner compass

Felt deep within

Respect is earned

Not demanded like a spoiled brat

Given willing

Loyalty is fleeting

What once was sort out

Is now blown away like a puff of smoke

Learning to swim

I dove into the ice cold pool
Sunk to the bottom
A memory immediately surfaced
I was supposed to make bubbles
Being pulled and breaking surface
I looked into fearful eyes
“I forgot the bubbles”

City Peace

The wind howls through my window

The fire truck siren blares down the street

The neighbor’s heated argument is in stereo sound

The dogs whine in a pitch that rivals nails on chalk boards

Yet I cannot sleep without the city’s peace.

She turns 30

Wake up to a face
Your face
The current face
Not the face you remember

Memory can distort reality
Reality is a bucket of ice water
Even the eyes change
Once showed hope is now resigned

Truth is
It is not the face that is disheartening
It is the day
That states you are no longer spring flower but an autumn…Read More

THE GRAVITY OF THE GRUDGE

You see a person sentenceed to death
Days counted before their last breath
Done so much pain and unimaginable sorrow.

Now the question is as follows…

Would you feed that person today,
What he or she wouldn’t be able to do tomorrow?

Would you offer the mercy you’d hope to receive?
Or tighten the knot i…Read More

Reach out

There are things I wanted to show
There are things I could not let go
When my light is finally out
I’m in the shadow

Reach out , reach out
You’re in my heart
Reach out
Whenever you feel you’re falling apart
Reach out
I will always be there for you….

I’m here for you
You’re never alone, its true
Wherever I am is a hom…Read More

WAITING

Waiting ….

I wait …
I stay …
In place …

I’m waiting…
I’m praying …
In my space….

Waiting …

The long days ..
My same road ways
Time.. slow pace …

Waiting….

Hoping for a change
For a hand in marriage
That man that’s only a mirage

Waiting…

For a love
For destiny I still think…Read More

The Key

When did you get the key to my door

It’s been locked for so long

I remember when I put the bolt and nail it to the floor

Fear and hurt infused the metal like a song

You inserted a key

Turned it to the right

I stood before you

I the softest moonlight

You really looked at me

Realizing what I was w…Read More

The Seagulls

The cry of seagulls
Has me longing to return
To the solitude

A STORM’S MIMIC EMOTIONS

Why does it rain?
When I’m sad?
Does it feel my pain?
When things go bad?

​How can it last long?
I’m still crying
When will it be gone?
The outside is pouring.

​Where is the sun?
To feel better
I just wanna go out and run
Even with this dark weather

​I try to smile a bit
And when I do
I see the r…Read More

We Are Not Machines

Do not worry
if you shall fall and forget.
Tomorrow always comes.
What’s most important is that you try.
It’s a shame that we forget that everything that we do
starts off with a person just trying.

The stark white of the page
Uninspired
Stop
Breathe
Occupy space inside with other things

Return…Read More
