Poetry
Is it a sin
to give gratitude 
for the win?

Being able to convert
all of life's little hurts
into form and verse…

For me that is enough 
to be grateful for,
that poetry exists.

Poetry
Give me the pen
My brain is alight,
It is time for me
to write poetry tonight.

Perhaps I should pause
for the verse speaks 
volumes and more,
but I think it solves 
the internal war.

Poetry
the joy of poetry

is not shared 

helplessly.



instead I believe

the joy of poetry 

is the moment

when connection 

is made.

Poetry
Forgotten verse

equates to a poet's tears,

for the pen needs 

to scratch the words 

in such a way to 

highlight immortality.



Though I didn't think

the poetry would be

all that I would need ,

reality is always the answer 

to weave the life into the abstract 

of verse into my dreams .

Poetry
Writing poetry 
gives memories 
to the ones that read
and the ones that write,
connection building invisibly
to all that the world needs them to be.

Picking up the pen almost feels
like a tribute to all the words
I have written before and to those
who have read them unknowingly.

Poetry
Pen and Ink

Open a vein

Even in desperation,

Mostly it is the moment you chose the rhyme.



Infinity in a moment

Not a verse forgotten.



Maybe it is just a passing thing…

Or a personal choice,

The reason matters not.

Instead the beauty of the result

Outweighs the problem

Needing a definition anyway.

Poetry
To write is but to grant the moment

a chance to immortality,

Each verse a moment written to 

evade the reaper.



Penning immortality

in poetry form,

writing as the reaper voices

eternity.

Poetry
To weave the words

into the poetic art

is a joy beyond...



painting emotion

into verse of the heart

it is often a relief.

Poetry
is the pen
supposed to weigh
for the content it does make?

writing poetry
a spectrum runs 
For love and light
to the dark and heavy .

Why then does the pen weigh more 
for some when writing 
love and light?

Poetry
Oh to have nothing else to do 
than to pick up my pen
and spin verse on end.

A poet's happiness 
is in the ability 
to write endless verse.
