Transcendent Love
Dear Lord, please find me
somebody to love.
God replied, no,
not just one love.
I give you an ocean
of eternal love
found only in faith,
poetry and music.
From this special place,
you will find love
like you have never known,
from kindred spirits
around the world,
transcending
space and time,
to give you a glimpse
of the divine.

Shadow Dancing
In the shadow of sleeping Kings,
soldiers, and poets,
comes another battlefield day,
man against man, invisible wars,
hell’s fury unleashed among trees.
Yet, upon the rocky shore,
angels dance and sing,
reminding us there is something more
than misery.
Beauty glints among broken things.
Hope is on the horizon.
So on these solemn days,
let us find something...

Matriarch
What is this dark energy
cloaking the universe
threatening to consume me,
wrap me in a weighted blanket
of silent abyss.
Some days I’m tempted
to dive into the black hole,
see what all the fuss is about,
but I know if I do, I will take
a generation or two of
fragile minds with me.
Weakness is not my legacy.
I have to stay strong,
be my family’s guiding li...

Gravity
We are as different
as the sun and moon,
circling the same universe,
with an omnificent God
you don’t believe in,
for adventures in love,
you among the trees,
me with my muse,
who today, lives in you.

After the Pandemic
After the pandemic,
I hope we remove our masks,
find more reasons to smile,
forgive faster,
have more patience,
keep the faith,
help each other however we can.
Gather more,
hug more,
kiss more,
remember what we're here for,
live, laugh, love.
I hope you find strength
to move your mountains,
courage to carry on,
seize every opportunity
to live the After now.

Two in the Morning
Profound sadness
clouds my view
at a quarter til two.
I don’t understand why
my muse avoids me like the flu,
when a simple poem or song will do.
Wise words to help me understand
why true love passed me by
in this lifetime.
Why wrong choices,
that felt right at the time,
left me alone in this abyss
where my better self
silently bears witness
to my shr...

Echoes
Resistance is futile.
You will not find rest
as long as I am near,
whispering in your ear.
STOP, right now.
Write now.
Talk about how
love echoes
in the valley of
lost souls.
Share your hopes,
dreams, fears.
I’m listening,
channeling,
ready to bathe you,
in serenity.
I am your muse,
voice of truth,

The Price
The price of life,
is death.
The price of love,
is forgiveness.
The price of peace,
is judgement.
The price of success,
is failure.
The price of fame
is freedom.
The price of freedom,
is discipline.
The price of discipline
is faith.
The price of faith,
is fear.
Everything has a price.
What is the cost,
of the life you seek?
Are you willing ...

Fandango
A magenta sky
greets my morning sigh.
Another majestic day,
lost in the minutia of life.
Shoulda, coulda,woulda,
paralyzing dream sabers.
Distractions abound.
Download another book,
refresh the poet's page.
Escape, behind a waterfall
of tears.
Long nights,
paved years.
Fandango memories
sustain me.
Resilience
prevails.
Dry your eyes,
face your fears.

Tuesday's Prayer
Lord mold me into
the loving person
you created me to be.
Help me praise,
instead of complain.
Smile,
instead of frown.
Look up,
instead of down.
Reach out to the lost,
so they can be found.
Amen.

Pain
I enjoy bringing tough guys and gals to their knees.
I can make everyone in my path cry like babies.
You think you can stop me with drugs or alcohol?
That’s a fool’s game.
It will drive you insane.
Your candy doesn’t keep me away
anymore than a cross stops suffering.
The only escape is to free me
from the one place you fear to go.
I reside deep within your mind.

A Poet's Prayer
Lord, thank you
for this gift
of expression
through words.
Please help me
bless others
with the poems
I share.
Help me write
from a place
of compassion
rather than ego.
Let your
light shine
through my
life songs.
Help me project
the same
unconditional love
you give me.
Amen.

Muses, Sins & Soul Ties
Is it a sin for your muse
to inspire mine,
provide momentary escapes
from loneliness, pain,
the daily grind,
give words to fantasies
of the mind,
connect soul ties.
It’s hard to believe
a God of love
would consider musing
a crime.
If it is, that’s not a religion
to which I subscribe.

Kindred Spirits
How can it be that you
are on the same
spiritual path as me...
God exists as
infinite energy.
We keep coming back
as various entities
until we learn
life lessons
from history.
Love is eternal
as it should be.
Writing is our way of
understanding everything.
We cross oceans of time
to find our flame.
Kindred spirits we are,
lost and lonely...

How Many Times
How many times
have you been in love?
How many times
have you let your heart
take off the gloves?
How many times
have you thanked
the good Lord above
for sending your soulmate
to be your one true love?
How many times?
Once is enough.
Twice is nice.
Three times is divine!

Swim with Me
Swim with me
in the sea of Galilee,
where we will drown fear,
loneliness, depression, despair...
then surf the waves
of forgiveness,
peace, mercy, grace,
unconditional love,
and joy everlasting...

TAG
Over and over,
I see your name
like a tattoo
on my brain.
A flame
that ignites
not on deed or fame,
but simply a name.
A tag, reminding us
who we are:
dreamer, poet,
old soul,
who despite living
an alternate reality,
believes in passion,
love, happily ever after...

Two Lives
One life is swell,
the other is a living hell.
Trying to bridge the great divide,
but the chasm is too wide.
Chasing light where darkness resides.
A grey goose gouges my eyes,
pecks my mind.
Naked. Nowhere to hide.
Cowering to the joker inside.
Praying God sends his army
to help me make the climb,
out of the abyss to my sober life.

A Thousand Years of Peace
I used to think it would be an honor
to usher in a thousand years of peace,
a willing martyr to stop senseless suffering,
but I had no idea of the atrocities
that would ensue between men,
or the loss of innocent children
that we would witness with despair
and helplessness.
Come now Lord, end the madness,
flood evil with love,
make our planet a peaceful place,
before all hope i...

God Rays
Staring too long into the looking glass,
trying to predict the future and
make sense of the past.
Time goes by lightning fast.
Poetry sets the cast.
Call it dreaming...
cloud surfing,
cartwheels on high wires,
living, laughing, loving
singing, no regrets.
Drink every drop of life,
before God rays
absorb the wake
and your soul sails
into moonlight.

Good Days
God bless the good days.
Days a smile is no stranger to your face.
Days your favorite songs play, and you sing along.
Days faith is restored in humanity.
Days sunshine and fresh air makes life seem fair.
Days you feel the gentle touch of love.
Good days will see you through tough days,
down days,
diseased days,
bitter days that never seem to end,
days you have no friends,

My Secret Life
He fools everyone
and I fool myself
in my secret life.
Makeup hides the bruises
in my secret life.
Distractions abound
in my secret life.
I smile, laugh, cry, drink
the pain away
in my secret life.
Food fills the gaps of despair
in my secret life.
I pray for salvation
in my secret life.
Hope for a better tommorow remains
in my secret life.

Can we pretend
social media highlights

Can we pretend

Can we pretend

Can we pretend

Good for you,

Good for you,

Good for you,

Good for you,
used your pain as fuel to grow.
Good for you,
no more living on tiptoe.
Good for you,
no longer afraid of the scarecrow.
Good for you,
escaped the tornado.
Good for you,
found your rainbow.

Daughter
Forgive me, for not
being the mother
you needed me to be.
For being too busy,
too naive to see
what was happening
in front of me.
For being silent
when your father
screamed and demeaned.
For when I thought it
was sweet that your
boyfriend carried you
to your room when you
"fell asleep".
For not enough hugs
and too many lectures.
For not seeing the signs

Kintsugi
Precious china,
shattered
after the fall.
No longer valued,
or wanted at all.
Enter the ancient
mending art of
Kintsugi,
where the broken pieces
are filled with gold.
Alas, they are stronger
than before,
a sight to behold.
How befitting God
did the same thing for me.
Filled my shattered heart
with His love, mended me.
Kintsugi.
It’s stronger now.

Creators
You are a creator.
I am a creator.
I created you
and you created me.
Together we create
our destiny.
Will we fill our life
with strife or harmony.
Will we hide behind fear and doubt
or flesh our gifts out.
It is up to you.
It is up to me.
To be all we created
ourselves to be.

Becoming
If you become
what you think about
most of the time...
I am becoming
poetry, a lyrical
fantasy floating
in rhyme.
I am becoming
love and light,
Doing my best
to do what's right.
I am becoming
forgiveness
and peace.
Healing souls
like Wayne
and Louise.
I am becoming
who God intended
me to be.
Leaving a loving
legacy.
I am becoming
free.

Oasis
What a welcome relief
your tender words are
to my weathered soul.
I get so busy in life
tending to other’s needs
that I often neglect my own.
But when I come to the
oasis of serenity and
see a good heart reflected,
my faith in love is restored.

Soul Scars
There you are beaming
at everyone you meet
posting highlights,
keeping it together.
But, I see your soul scars...
loneliness, heartbreak,
disappointment, addiction,
depression, despair...
It's enough to turn
most souls to dust.
But not us.
Diamonds are made from
coal under pressure.
Show your scars,
keep the faith,
and shine on.

It's Easier to Believe
It's easier to believe
I am a child of the most high God
than to live a life of despair.
It's easier to believe
everything happens for a reason
than to question fate.
It's easier to believe
love is everywhere
than to give in to hate.
It's easier to believe
in forgiveness
than remain a victim.
It's easier to believe
in abundant blessings
than mounting problems.
It's easier ...
