Moment to moment
Love divides,
Bitten tongues,
Bloodshot eyes.

Moment to moment
Dreams collide,
Moments high,
Moments wide.

I am an impatient patient,
Fraught with anxiety ancient,
Waters too shallow for sorrow,
Focused today on tomorrow.

Bullies in the playground,
Bullies in the sky,
Bullies never answer
When you ask why.

Good men muse on murder,
Bad men spill the blood.
Evil feeds the flower,
Beauty feeds the bud.

Love is all you need,

Or so I have been told,

Yet lovers often bleed,

And sometimes end up cold.

Harpist in the cotton clouds,

Answer this for me:

How do you bear the tedium

Of immortality?

The wise never worship,
No heroes they claim,
No wish to play pawn
In a perilous game.

Friends
A knock on the door
A smile
Shoes on the floor.

Truth
Unwise to withhold
A look
Stories unfold.

Time
Relentless it flows
How long?
Nobody knows.

Friends
A reason to fight
A smile
Beckons the light.
