Who Pays a Poet?
Wrapped tightly in a poets mind Just above the threshold Rich with unspent emotion Lie the vast empathic Expanse of every tortured Soul begging for an ear. Listen. Poets hear What isn’t spoken Caressed and loved They wrap it gently Adding it to their collection Of broken things. They build an inner voice And contain…

A Life I Can’t Forgive
At one point in my life, I was a social worker. However, once a social worker always a social worker. Helping people is in my nature, and there are people in need of a helping hand everywhere. I used to work with families that had broken apart, usually due to drugs. Contrary to what many…

You will remember me the way you left me, Sobbing as the wretched heat blistered my eyes with sweat. Desperately searching the shadows of your face For an answer that wasn’t there. Afraid to be alone in my world of darkness, I begged you to continue to share it with me. After all it was…

Lost
When the night falls down And the day is born The past just fades away And somewhere in between the two A stranger makes his way. Another life forgotten Born from innocence his past Stumbled steps to get here He wears the old brave mask. Pondering the life he lives A stranger with no home…
