The Streets

The StreetsI prowl the streets like I own them, looking for my next source of entertainment. What should I do today? Meet up with a friend, maybe go somewhere to get high. I hit my usual spots collecting my rewards along the way. Bob, Tom, Sally and that one guy named Jay.  Always looking forContinue reading “The Streets”

I Need You

I need you. You are the one I choose. Choose each and everyday.Day by day, I will love you in every way. Ways that make you feel special and smile.Smiles that touch your lips for a while.While you were busy looking divine. Divine intervention made you mine. Mine today, tomorrow and beyond.Beyond this Earthly bond.Continue reading “I Need You”

A Poem Today

A poem today, a poem tomorrow. A poem to wipe away the sorrow. A poem for pain and a poem for joy.A poem for shame and a poem for decoy. Lyrical verses fill the lines Opening up the confines of my mind. What I see and what I write usually battle for the winning fight.PerceptionContinue reading “A Poem Today”
