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?…

Rise Above

Rise Above Years have since come and gone When I childishly looked at the world - Then, age and realism dawned Causing my foolish heart to unfurl. A thirst to want to love and be loved, Was seemingly quenched And old ideas were proved wrong Lies poured and left me drenched. It would seem my…

Treasures

A life that's spanned three decades, So many things I've collected. Multiple interests - jack of all trades, A reason behind things I've selected.   Books, pens, and even some technology, Rests in my private little space. But do they hold a place in my anthology? Or is it, rather, the thrill of the chase?…
