Technology craze The glaze controls the haze, Fixed eyes on pixels daze- Humanity slips from human phase- Dull emphasis placed on the dooming craze. The brain corralled down corridor, Stunted growth for ever more- Contracted elbows, fingers sore- Becoming our own dinosaurs. Techno advancing like a blaze, But inward turns into the maze Of our […]

“When your demons call” When your demons call they know what to say to get through to you. They know precisely how to say it and when to say it too. Your vulnerabilities are a virtual playground for them. They know the deepest locked doors and how to get in. The mind games they know […]

Thrown stone Cast it. Hum it. Text it. Tag it. Blog it. Bash it! It’s all the same. Stones have new meaning in the world we live in today, just with different names. They’re picked up and thrown on the wings of a paper airplane on the screen of your smart device. Evil still delights […]

Soul searcher The exterior covers the precious soul- It’s what is seen by fixed eyes, As a human disguise to prevent connection and give our human race it’s whole. Unfixing the orbs is the chore that most negate by choice- And choose residing in the superficial regions of gender, race and voice. To live this […]

Interventional Poetry I’ve lived a life of many facets from childhood agonies to young adult tragedies and dysfunctions to middle age recoveries and spirituality. My poetry has ranged and evolved with these changing facets and began with love and angst, anger and pain and has also evolved to speculation and observations with my god given […]

The day I found God I was in rehab. For the 3rd time. And I was resolved to only 1/2 of Step One- that I was powerless over alcohol. I still had reservations that my life was truly unmanageable (by me) and was adamantly opposed against the idea that the “higher power greater than myself […]
