From The Mind Of A Poet

From The Mind Of A Poet

The mind of a poet, is an open book;
exposing truths, a soul would hide;
allowing, everyone to take a good look;
at the deceptions, lying hidden, inside.

The Power Beyond

The Power Beyond

I can feel an immense tug from above;
my energies, within, respond;
it’s the overwhelming power of love;
emanating from beyond.

My physical landscape, fading away;

a part of my heart; bids me to stay;
tugging the sleeves of my

I'm Just Walking Thru

I’m Just Walking Thru

We treat each day, as tho it’s our own;
enjoying all our liberty;
not understanding, this life is on loan;

all; compromised by the

what is the determinant sign?
Many are the times we simply go along;
unwilling to argue or whine.

When the pangs of guilt suddenly arrive;
we succumb to the obvious truth;
forgoing temptations to cajole or conive;
while giving up

Life Off The Cuff

Life, Off The Cuff

Sometimes we say things without thinking;
making our comments seem quite rough;
comments that make it seem we’re drinking;
usually referred to, as off the cuff.

Often we pay so very little attention;
to the things that we do and say;
as tho thought’s
