Responsibility


You have to get beyond
The inner scars.
The Past can be an enemy
Or a friend.
Forgiveness plays its role;
Guiding you forward.


Take off the coat
Of Childhood,
Because you’ve outgrown it.


Life will throw you
Many choices.


It is up to you
To walk the solid Path;
To live your life
And own it.

Advice # 2


Write from the heart,
Dear ones,
And you’ll never go wrong.


All of Life
Sits by the narrow path,
Blooming told
On starry nights.


Make of these things
Whatever you will;
The guide is there
With a will unstilled.


Hopefully, on your course,
My words will linger;
Pulling together
As thin as my fingers.

A Train


Tell them you’re a simple man
Each word brought forth
Without any shame.


The train chugs along
Outside my window;
The birds converse, always.


One thing leads 
To another.


The simple man
Lays claims to riches.


The train 
Moves on
No matter.

Experimental

Some say 


It doesn’t matter what you write 
As long as it makes some sort of sense. 


 You must treat each word
As if it were a lover’s touch; 
Grasping at an insight 
Unseen. 




 The World will be kind To your efforts. 


The poet in you Speaks softly; 


Tending the garden


 By lamp-light. 


 The Moon is a Sliver-full Tonight.


 Say what you want: 


 I’m in love.
