From the moment
I opened my eyes
I could see a world
Spiraling with
Lies
To deny
The truth
So we must awake the room
With acts of truth and good
For all of us to
Do
Awake the Room

Rhetorical Waves
It started with a few words
Like a leaking faucet
On a dry day
As the hopes of many
Became united
In one discrete shade of
Grey
So they say
That the rhetorical waves
Had begun
From the drops into the ocean
It all was one
In that moment
I knew the sea change
Had already won
Wide-Eyed Ocean
The wide eyed ocean
Breeze
Filled with salty
Vibes and evenings
Long and cool
Into the night
I close my eyes
And feel those
Wide-Eyed Ocean
Life
My Straw North
The old county
Where I grew up
The straw north
Outside the state park
Where you could hear the rides
At night
Off the highway
That creaked in the evening
And cracked at dawn
The fields filled with
Corn and life
Back on
The other side
Valuable Kiss
The valuable kiss
Is a moment
From the lips
And forever in
The heart
From now on
The Premium Drip
It started with a drip
Of one liquid
Moment
Into the next
The premium
Drip of my life
Is behind me now
And I’m doing
Alright
My Tangled Languid
I twist and turn
On a hot summers afternoon
No inclination for movement
Or anything new
These tangled languid times
Are required to
Get back on my feet
To get back and compete
To be the best
Me
I can
Be
Downtown Grass
Amidst the highest
Of high rises
The darkest of pavement
The cracks in the road
And where we always go
There is the downtown grass
As green as a bouquet
Rising the spirts
Of the city dwellers
Who get
That mother nature
Is a part of life
No matter where
We go
Unsightly Telling
Unsightly telling
About the future
That we are living through
The times
Have made us tough
And strong
In me and you
But the unsightly telling
Is true
That the truth is hard
To take in sometimes
Guiltless Talk
Was it me
Or you
Who started through
With words
Of ambition
But we both saw through
The guiltless words
That were thrown about
In that moment
Fleeting
Feeling
And could easily
Undo
