Simple Times

Were there ever simple times?

A time when everything was smooth

As the morning dew

Rather I object

That time neither existed

In romance or

Realism but

Was a fragment

Of imagination

Lodged in the hopeful

For today is the day

Of hope for me

Regardless of the fate I see

We start in with

Today

Saving Graces

Saving graces

Running all over the human

Race

From one to another

Just a word can redeem

What was once lost

But now back

In seen

Up Town

On the town

Their is a place

To go

When the world grows

Weary in your eyes

When the sun rises

Feelings anew

Coffee in New York City

Is the best place to remember

That life is a continuum

Of the new and old

When the world looks back

To say thanks

For all you have grown

Sick Shoes

Sick shoes

Nothing new

On the road

Out of fuel

Hold on tight

As the fever passes through

Saturday Sun

Saturday sun

Fades to a Sunday moon

All comes up

And gone too soon

Days filled with autumn fall

Upon my eyes

Not one

But all

Water on the Parking Lot

In a parking lot

West of town

Water falls

Straight down

Into the puddle

On the ground

Into the swells all around

Tuesday Conversations

Tuesday conversation

In a rainy way

Make for a late night

After a long day

Into the morning

I go

With a new conversation

Being told

In Plain Sight

Over the hedge

In plain view

What was stolen

Was witnessed by me

And you

No doubt cast

Over the shadow

Of memory

What happened in that

Moment in history

Will live forever

In infamy

Braided Greens

Braided greens

On the west end

Seems

Over to top

Beside the ocean

Bold Times

Good times

Signed rhymes

Of uncharacteristic hue

What holds me down

Pushes me up too
