When I saw the tree
in the Robert Frost novel,
I knew i had crossed over
Glowing sun not damaging me
any further
No sounds that i
could not agree with
No being with demands
who hurled all that is unholy at me
My touch felt like a hug
No seat was necessary
for i knew i was just visiting
All was explained to me
And that was all
I needed to know
I didn’t belong there
Was my soul still not at rest?
I could not adjust to all that serenity
But i knew what was constant before
I knew my mission
Obtain Peace before i had Peace
It’s called the Tree of Life
It’s just not for me, yet

There’s a Price to pay for being selfish. Can You afford it?
Karmic Points
I did what I did
when I did it
and how I wanted to
I said what I said
when I said it
just how I said it
Never did I think
Never did I imagine
it was all on credit
With a lot of Rewards Points
Retribute
I wasn’t born by a river,
no crow could say he waited nearby
for me to lay down or stop,
no bird to not welcome me a good morning
with an annoying but sweet song,
no man to ever say he got the best of me without me demanding that I was king,
no pastor, or rabbi, or preacher to not see my light before speaking their sins to me.
I wasn’t born by a river,
but I could get to one
and bottle all my troubles and let them drift away and pick them up on the otherside.
My Derby Hat
See You turn Left
Knowing You would tell me
that You went right
How could You not see me
I was right behind You
I had the look
You know
The walk
The wave
The Yell
All that I wore
wasn’t even
It’s off to the races I go
I anticipate the winner
Without the hype
My brim is Best In Show
And still You would tell me
Show me
That I am not
It’s my horse that’s faltered
The pasture is calling
You jumped the gun
Glad I bet against you
I liked the odds
And I wear it so well
Farewell, my End
I see You there
All skin and bone
Blowing ash as You sit
on nothing
Your squealing makes me weak
for You
I wouldn’t trade places right now
You played
And I stayed so put
‘Til I got to know myself
If only You hadn’t strayed
I wouldn’t have a bony heart
My heart could not follow
You underground
Thick You then were
Cutting through like You were in Class
Lover Bully
Then, You grabbed something else
Or someone else found You
Was the good prize worth it?
But, I promised to see You through
And through you are
I see you there
Still, you are not alone
The memories take over me
Sad, because you have them
All skin and bone
Pain.
What would possess you to want to hurt me?
The Sweetness of it All
As the storm set outside
the clouds did form
Darkness followed
And sugar was what she needed
Of all things at the store
She needed some sugar
Could a Hello come first
before kisses were blown
Facing the storm
aside from auto-drive
Milk, sugar, eggs
No abundance but begs
With mind set on another store
Supplies galore
Paying for sugar out of love
Home is where his heart was
until she said
“Happy Anniversary Dear”
And as the mirror cried with her
he opened the sugar
for his sugar
As it dripped down her neck
and settled like an icicle
He said
“Back at Cha, Dear”
Baking a cake without
preheating the oven
They Won’t Leave Her Alone
Alone she lies
Though he is there
She tosses and she turns
They won’t leave her alone
The nightly medicine
She never wants to leave
Straining to keep it in
They won’t leave her alone
Fooling everyone is her game
Her past is them
She is her own trouble
They won’t leave her alone
To disagree with her
Makes them stronger
She can’t help but roll her brown eyes
They won’t leave her alone
She needs to connect but disconnect
Anything but reflect
The medicine wants to reject
And find a more honest project
That’s why they won’t leave her alone
