Settle For Nothing

Settle for nothing

For settling leaves you cold

And full of regrets

A Tender Kiss I Leave For Thee

A tender kiss I leave for thee

Upon thy cheek when you wake,

This day I leave on turbulent sea

Where chances are thy lover take.

 

Sheddeth not a sorrow-filled tear

Thine heart belongs the thee through time,

Though watery grave my end I fear

‘Tis enough to know thine heart is mine.

 

Pray for thee my lover pure

In this our night of last embrace,

Though parted love survives I’m sure

In memory of thy angelic face.

 

Thine smile comforts as farewell I bid, for journey toward mysterious lands,

Thy strength in sorrow thou surely hid, as gently you kiss my trembling hands.

You Must Dare To Dream

You must dare to dream

If you’re ever to succeed

Find your happiness

It’s not about the money

It’s about satisfaction

50 Word Story: Black, White or Blue

I feel the pain with my last dying breath as the warmth of crimson surrounds me.  My legacy will be the chalk outline I’m soon to become ‘til washed away by the acid rains.

Whether black, white or blue, does it really matter when you’re dead.

…Death is color blind!

We’re dealing with the Devil

It’s Out of Control

Black and blue killing must stop

For everyone’s sake

50 Word Story: Human Face of Immigration

Juan’s tears evaporate before they can run down his burned and blistered cheeks. Face down in the sand he see a vision of his wife and three small children.  

What started out as a journey to freedom and a better life is now about to leave him for the vultures.

I Can Hear Him Laugh

I can hear him laugh

Saying whatever he wants

Both vile and cruel

Through his puckered hateful lips

What does Trump care, he is rich

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

Life, liberty and

The pursuit of happiness

Words that we hold dear

Except in Rowan County

Where you must be straight as well

I Am A Magnet

I am a magnet

Attracting insanity

From all the four winds

Once they’ve taken residence

I am left to their mercy
