Poem: Life Is Full Of Emotions
Life is full of emotions--good and bad. Fear, anger, surprise, happiness and sad. Happy ants dance along weeping willows. Joyful birds carol in the gloomy night. Fearful bees buzz while the angry bears fight. Merry people laugh but sad tears fill pillows. Life is full of emotions--good and bad. Fear, anger, surprise, happiness and sad.... Continue Reading →
Poem: Which Path Will You Choose?
Do not follow shady and vain humans. Who turn hope into a heap of ruins. They craftily plan to lure their prey. Like a spider web trap on the archway. Their enticing words are sweet to the lips.

Who's that knocking on my front door? So rapid. So hasty. Shaking the floor. I peeked through the window hole. To my surprise, there was no soul. I rubbed my eyes and looked twice. Ah man! Alcoholism--a hideous vice. Illusions. Nightmares. Pain and anxiety. Drinking the bottle doesn't make you free. It enslaves you to... Continue Reading →
Poem: Wondering Under The Crisp Blue Moon
As I gaze upon this crisp blue moon. Under the blanket by the campfire. My soul longs to be much higher. Like a butterfly freed from her cocoon. If I spread my wings and fly away. My soul will journey to endless seas. Opening doors with nature's keys. All will be sunny and no longer... Continue Reading →
Poem: Letter To God In A Dreary Storm
Dreary drips of rain. Thunder in the night. Endless strife and pain. No true comfort in sight. Where is my hope found. If storms surround me? To sorrow I am bound. Who will set me free? If there is a God. My soul cries out now. I am deeply flawed. But please hear this vow.... Continue Reading →
