Torn, tied, captive
I rest here with closed eyes
For I dare not look to the future
As I am afraid I'll lead a lonesome lie
A silent misery tears and scratches my soul
I am bound by myself and others
However, this misery is mine alone
Hidden by...

You were the light shining bright in the night sky,
Leading me home where I belonged.
But I started to go blind.
I got scared and the more I fought the dark away,
The less I could see you.
Now I sit here, cold and surrounded by fear.
I still...

When you are sad,
and you feel you can't go on.
Tears well in your eyes
and the pain is so strong.
So far from your friends,
and you're all on your own.
No-one to run to,
So very alone.
When all seems so useless,
and...

Beauty that lies underneath,
Only seen by those exploring,
The lovliness outside only hides the brilliance within.
Smells tantilizing the senses,
Only experienced by those trying,
The pleasant essence only shadows the heaven within.

I exhale into the darkness
Shadows blanket me in
A cold, silent anger.
"When does your hope die?"
Confused, I exhale once more
The shadows tighten their grip
Their anger growing colder
"Do you still have faith?"
Once more, I breathe unto...

I wrote this poem some years ago when I always visited this only tree out in the middle of a corn field. The farmer didn't chop it down in any manner, even though it was already dead. I always sat under it when the crops were gone, near my birthday. I...

The pure white snow descends upon the sinful town below,
Asphyxiated by heroin deals and welfare checks.
Where many are cursed without a face and a vacant path ahead,
While others huddle around the fireplace, befriending gin and razors.
Yet, as...
Christmas, Poem, free verse
Who said that words defined the boundaries
That demarcated the stages of friendship?
That you're not a good friend
Until it is said so?
Yet, a friendship
Of which stage it is in is not said
Can become close
No matter how rhetorical the...

I cruise down the road
In my Mercedes-Benz 280SL
Down the coastal highway
To the isolated cottage
That was my home
You see, I had driven in a long circle
To re-live the thrill
Of going back home
Back to my home on the coast
That came from a...
Coastal, Poetry, free verse
The snow falls descend over Herod Point
As I watch with a sober placid eye
For in my heart, I feel an emotion rise up
A strange warmth
That is so special
Only certain things that I hold dear can cause it
From my heart into my head
And into the...

When we first met,
I didn't know what to expect,
All I knew is that I couldn't let
This depression plague you and keep you in debt,
On the outcome, I couldn't easily bet,
But after seeing your life with a huge dent,
I couldn't let you go...
