Every thought that goes through my head
I tear right out of its bed. . .
When at Last
When at last I lay it down
This sword will be bloody. . .
Your Show
There’s a joy when I know,
A bounce none can deny. . .
Muddied Warrior
A knight in shining armor
Is wanted by none. . .
The Floor of an Open Forum
On the floor of an open forum,
A hundred voices without decorum. . .
The Monster That Controls Me
I am not the monster that controls me.
I am the defeated the world has not seen. . .
Moth in a Jar
Like a beast trapped and caged
I claw at the walls that I have built. . .
I am a Fighter
I am a fighter deep inside
I can’t believe this heart is mine. . .
Moment of Definition
At the edge,
Ready for the end. . .
Rise Again
I am the coming.
I am the returning. . .
I drive this road along a canyon
The miles tick away. . .
Lifeline
With a lifeline I cling to
I stare out in longing. . .
Bury Me
Mother feeds me, she seeds me.
She warms her children, draws them strong. . .
Fiction on the Wall
All my life I’ve been staring at this wall
And reading the writing, a story for the ages. . .
Statue of Bronze
A war between copper and tin
Shredding a statue of bronze. . .
We Took a Life
Another life we ended today
Its light washed away. . .
The Man Asked For
I’m banging on the glass to catch your eye.
Or am I just curled up on the floor. . .
Take You Back
If I could, I do pray,
I would take you back to yesterday. . .
Expression
A silent gate, black and cold,
Open to some, but not to all. . .
Wings of Destruction
In the mountains long ago,
Amongst all the stone and snow. . .
