So I wrote two poems. One on decisions and the other on resolutions. The first was written to express the anxiety, stress and discontent that making painful decisions often brings on. The second is to show what it is like once a decision is made, the right decision. they may be a little goofy but [...]

A poem from me to you
Tighter than any stitching holding together your shirt More permanent than any ink that sits on my arm Stronger than any weight lifting champion In comparison that champion looks weak like me In comparison everything is weak like me I'm not sure a metaphor can capture the picture that I see I haven't heard a [...]
Little Green Demons
These leaves are whistling to me in their melancholy tune Lyrics, strings, percussion have no meaning to those green fingers Hum and shake, Rattle and twitch as they, "la la la" and " mm mm mm" So carefree with a memory short-termed and shallow How quickly they forget their brothers and sisters who have been [...]

I hope this feeling lasts.

Stepping off this platform A black shade engulfs my aspirations The wind whistles its heralding tune of deceit As this chill grows to a paralyzing sting I move slowly and caution sees success fail Weak, unworthy, sad, invalid: whispers to my sanity How could a land be so stained with pain? Air so dense it [...]
Writing
