Pens & Swords

Words, they say, aren’t sharp as swords They cannot pierce, or strike the chords Tonight, I pray, these words I’ve brought Will do such things that swords cannot Fights are fought for faith, and pride When we should stop instead, confide Admit that when all’s said and done What’s known of life, amounts to none … More Pens & Swords

Patience

I know there’s one, one sad soul out there Waiting wishing, somebody, somewhere Who cares for all the things of which I care The answer to my one, my only prayer Deepest love is hidden in a vulnerable and lonely place It hides behind the things we all ignore and do not want to face … More Patience

Who Am I?

Do not break rhythm, just to rhyme To replicate the pantomime Do not spend life trying to climb A ladder that’s a waste of time Seize the day, right at its dawn Do not exist as someone’s pawn For ’tis not what you’re meant to be So live your life, and live it free Lay … More Who Am I?

The Song of Greed

Once upon a time before the universe existed There lived someone who thought and said “well maybe I should twist it” Lo behold, the worlds were born because He was assisted By those He made to fill the realm, the humans He enlisted He started simple, started quick, for there was so much work to … More The Song of Greed

It’s Up to Us

I can’t explain the pain I feel I can’t explain the hurt He deals I can’t explain why sad has come I can’t explain what He has done So sorely do I wish to know Are we just threads that He can sew? Are we just pieces on a board? Are we unnoticed to our … More It’s Up to Us

The Looking Tree

Some things are just not meant to be Even though the Looking Tree Might help us, save us, spare our time And calm us down as we unwind It is so peaceful, yes it’s so For if you wonder how it glows It gets its magic from the faith Of all who banished wicked wraith … More The Looking Tree

Checkmate

I do not claim to be the best I compete not with all the rest The things I write are not for fun It’s to unload this loaded gun As tensions rise, so do our acts And if you look at all the facts You’ll see that nothing ever changed That things were simply rearranged … More Checkmate
