Warrior

The hands on the clock keep ticking, The pain in my heart still there All the more reason to keep kicking Face fear in the eye with a glare   Every moment has led me right here All the times my heart was broken Still haven't caused me to disappear And the words I need…

Flawed Heart

Smiles and laughter realized again Deep in my soul, they still exist Despite the heartbreak and pain I remember what I dismissed.   Wordsmith of stories and poems Decades spent writing them all - Conveying different emotions - One second up high, the next I fall.   Did you happen to notice what was missing?…

Hidden Strength

I meant to write this ten days ago As a way to mark a year passed Since the day you said I had to go - How this year has gone so fast.   That day came and went - And so did more days Without the memory's torment Part of me is amazed…  …

I Remember…

As you get older, there are certain moments from your youth that you reflect upon and revisit. Those moments that truly stuck with you. Words that have been said and certain events that took place.
