I Shall Not Be Small (5 syllable meter)

When he was a boy,
Life was dramatic --
He learned to be small
Safe in the attic.

Invisible child,
As slight as his word,
Made to be silent,
A shadow unheard.

Talk was restricted,
Speaking forbidden --
He dared not a peep,
His...

Soldier

Redemption comes and goes for the broken,
A life we lived of wounds unspoken.
We’ve spilled our blood for another man’s glory.
Now we live to tell our story.

In the end what was it for?
We gave ourselves for another man’s war.
The walls we...

Mortally Wounded: A Soldier's Tale

Imagine the glory of a love so mighty as
to inspire the hopeless to suffer the agony
of one more breath.


 
Mortally Wounded; A Soldier's Tale

He is bloody, fading and shattered,
Disabled, alone by himself --
His body's...

PTSD - The Soldier and the Bottle

Sands of time have brought us down
For blood we’ve spilled upon the ground
Promises were given and lies were told
Was the bill of goods that we were sold

They pin their medals and offer us pride
But the ones who lived are the ones who...

War Torn

There’s a sprawling field rife with crosses
Peppered black with fading names
In memory of those who paid the price
Of war's barbaric games

In an overrun creek desolate and dry
Neath a sea of blood-red sheen
Is an outskirt of a wind-blown...

God Is Not Religion

They’ve spun your name all of my life,
Reeling me in with scriptural hooks,
Yet I only really knew your worth
Outside the fables inside their books.

Preachers condemned everything I was,
Then cleansed me with crocodile tears.
But I saw you...

Alcohol and Drugs Saved My Life

Youth was a gateway to my awakening,
As I began to conceive the lie.
When I believed I was going to live forever,
Was the day I began to die.

Night after night I sought its destruction,
Partying away without any shame,
Abusing my mind,...

Political Bash Balling

Pledge of Grievance:
I hedge my grievance to the gag of the divided fates of Scamerica; And to the blind public for whom it disbands, done invasion, undergone, divisible, with liability injustice for all.

Watching Congress bicker is like...

The Rusty Dusty of Getting Old

It appears I have hair on vacation
Expanding the glare on my head,
And skin that requires exfoliation
With a side of lingering dread.

Why the need for fluffy hear holes
When listening requires no warming?
The hair that fled my head still...

A Cancer Story

Grief still haunts from grievous wounds
In sorrow of memory it churns -
The day the fire fell from your lips
For the message you left still burns.

"Cancer, my love, has stricken us,"
As my world fell completely apart.
How could God's word...

Behind the Steel Door

There we, the invisible, existed transparent to a doctorate of charismatics who held PhD's to the light of a society goading us toward a most skewed sense of abnormality.

There we settled like oddity and spectacle left small and unseen like...

Forever Love (Shakespearean Style)

The moon hath one dark evening shone
Upon thine sight as such to render
For that alas twas starlight prone
What night hath shown me of its splendor

Flaxen hair doth don to trace
Reflecting moonlight upon her face
Smile my pretty and I...

Heaven's Mystique

Teach me to cherish the end of all things
when breath grows shallow and eyes grow dim.

Lift fears to part skies that hide the heavens
if I am to be carried through stratospheres
into a midst of wisdom beyond comprehension.

What reigns...
