Winning the Lottery isn't always what it's
cracked up to be!
It was not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
I won the Amwrican Dream, but I lost it!
It was a hard fall,
It's . . .

On a quiet and sticky summer night
When sleep is elusive,
An unexpected breeze
Wafts across my sweat dampened body,
Prodding me from my bed
And I think of you.
As I wander . . .

This does not come from my personal experience, but it is my way of reflecting the thoughts and experiences of someone very dear to my heart.
I find myself on my hands and knees,
disoriented . . .

You left me with no sanctuary,
Nowhere to hide my dampened cheeks,
No place to lick my deepening wounds,
No dark and dreary seeks,
I loved you with all innocence,
Something I knew better than . . .

Hope is not just a simple reaction,
Pain is not just an end result,
Lies have ways of gaining traction,
Truth, a thing that grows remote.
As we wonder motivation,
Can we see past bias and . . .

Something in the strength of your smile,
Hidden in the corners of your eyes,
Betrays the images of innocence,
Betrays the fabric of your lies.
I never saw it in the soft glow of . . .

Today is four sixteen two thousand and seven
Thirty two people ascended to Heaven
V.A. mourns and our country has gasped
To the wants of a man whose soul had lapsed
Knowing full well he would never pay . . .

There is a war raging inside my head;
how many more days will I lie in this bed?
Depression so dark I cannot see,
anxiety so thick I cannot breath.

Shall we throw our lives,
Away on sighs,
And hold our hands,
To keep the sands of time away,
Once more?
Take love to our beds,
With the words that have led,
Us to happiness, . . .

The Question was written December 26, 1996, the day my wife of 15 years arrived home from work to inform me she no longer wanted the honor of that title. As one can imagine, the devastation was complete. . . .

The most powerful of weapons shall ne'er cease to be,
those who will hurt me know this the best,
they deem me formidable, and not quick to scare,
so of all that is magic and mystical,

With all the strength I may command,
cast these demons away,
purge them from my being,
only discovering with great dismay,
that they remain ignoring my sincerest demand.
What do I . . .

The skies are a Caribbean blue, cottony clouds dot the backdrop-
of nature's masterpiece; her work of artistic perfection,
as the landscape reflects the fantastic brilliance of the sun's . . .

This poem is one I wrote for a faithful but very independent friend. A real curmudgeon of a cat that was dumped out where I worked, wouldn't let anyone get near him for several days, but at lunch . . .

Slender fingers of a new day
clutch the earth
and peel away the night.
As the sun strides
boldly into my room,
they tickle my nose
and pry my eyelids apart.
I try to feel frustration,

Beating deep within you,
Malevolent, bloodless, stewed,
Acting on your prejudice,
Confirming what I knew,
The darkness deep within, so skewed,
The dark heart that is you.
Poisonous and pestilent, . . .

It's started again,
I don't want to see her go,
And you know I just can't help it,
No matter what I know.
Seems I've lost a thousand times,
And still come back . . .

Oh, baby, when you breathe,
Asleep in my arms again,
The peace in my heart survives,
For one more night.
Oh, baby, when you breathe,
Asleep in my arms again,
I can understand . . .

We didn't know what we had started,
Didn't know the baggage we both carted,
Wherever the two of us would go.
It was all my fault baby,
I saw it early on,
But I didn't . . .
