The Victims

Hardship has always been a season of life;
no one born can escape its throes;
wisdom outlines all reasons for strife;
necessity demands it’s imposed.

Life cannot be measured by material success;
materiality exists, but a season;
the Master insists we all face duress;
love is the

The Verbal Sculptor

Destiny has made me a sculptor of thought;
creating the Master’s messages of love.
But how can a sculptor create what ought;
with words that were crafted above?

How does one choose from the hardest stone,
to carve out an ediface of thought?

The Unfinished Poem

Often I’m a poet who talks too much;
perhaps it’s how it’s all designed;

The Time Of My Life

What happened to the person I was;
and the one I thought I’d become?
I was transformed, simply because;
time said that it must be done.

Time raised me up from a mere seed;

The Tipping Point

A man stands on the brink of eternity;
not a very safe place to be;
an ultimate product of love and maternity;
seeking to set himself free.

Freedom always comes with a cost attached;
although it was freely given;
the man on life’s precipiece; now, detached;
