REALITY

The Enemy Within

We spend most of life making a friend;
two heads seem better than one;
we need others, upon whom, we depend;
a grandfather, daughter or son.

A true friend can be almost anyone;
real friendship takes much time;
a father, mother, daughter or a son;
or stranger,

Unloved And Alone

Most of my life there were others around;
people, with whom, stories I share;
ordinary voices have a melodious sound;
just knowing there’s someone there.

Many relate becoming alone in a crowd;
not knowing what alone is about;
their platitudes leave me to laugh outloud;

The First Mate Of My Soul

I would like to think of myself as a sage;
but a sage, I could never be;
sometimes I struggle, to even engage;

Loves Unrequited

As my body ages; my thoughts grow young;
I feel love’s passions stirring;
hopelessly in love; I’ve recently become;

I felt the energy of love, sublime;
much to my great

Painting Life

This life that we’re in; is our clean slate;
an empty canvas; upon which we paint;

All the ground, we see, beneath our feet;
illusions of our thoughts above;
where consciousness and destiny
