Drama King

A blinding storm is at my feet clouds hustle and bustle for me to greet with cool and calm and steely eyes a vacant stare no fear here. Someone steps in i turn them back i don't need help to beat this back. What could you do for me?

i muster all my certainty and step in front to take the whipping wind and shouts from below. i stand tall and brave and sure. i beat the clouds back with sheer will without a blink my eye is still they look at me at my great skill. What did you do for me?

The storm subsides iv’e beat it back i’m now alone with myself no wind or clouds to beat back just myself again and not a cloud. I falter with the wind so calm nothing to be so sure of it makes me misunderstood a garbled shout. I wilt back into the crowd i don’t stand out no orders left for me to shout. What does it say of me?

My voice no longer is so loud i’ve never been on the deck so long with no clouds it twists and turns me all around no longer sure in the crowd. i try and speak and a squeak comes out. i listen though and all  i hear is what i speak when the skies are not clear. What could i do for me?


I see the others on the deck they all are sure that we wont wreck. They all take turns to guide the way and I join in I have some sway and when it's back to me around I speak even stronger, no clouds around until we all, we speak the same and all of us we have our say and I now know that without the storm that I can, I can be heard be understood, without the clouds. Without the storm, I understand, I know what they did for me.

Whats the deal?

heart on sleeve
basic feel
always there
for all to steal

just a kid
for the day
nigh time comes
toys away

beer with him
wine with her
ball with him
pen with her

dig it up
boy or man
either way
suite your plan

turn the worse
inside out
take the rest
for yourself

who I am
All that’s real
up to you
now fuckin’ deal

Necklace

All smiles at first
and then a pause
a second or so
gathering thoughts

Thoughts of a time
when life was so coarse
her smile smooths out
the edges of time

The smile will do
for now to veil
inconsolable loss
so much to conceal

Her eyes now takeover
It all spills out now
emerald eyes
spill beautiful pearls

Pearls now roll down
on shimmering cheeks
they fall to her heart
for her to keep

In time all her peace
from a beautiful source 
a necklace to wear
of beautiful pearls

Spring Cleaning

Cleaning out the basement
all the rooms in one
toys and games can stay there
memories of fun.

Cleaning out the attic
all the rooms in one
pictures held so dearly
put those in the sun

Cleaning out the guest room
all the rooms in one
thoughts that stayed too long
watch them as they run

Cleaning out the house
all the rooms in one
time to make more room
For all that want to come
