Vases

The eve
of the pink roses -
make you contemplate
your current state
of life...

makes you
realize how fast
it might last
and how time
goes bye...

One chance...
One offer...
endless sea of opportunity -
if you just let go
and let it be.

Spring

The storms that
make me wake and shake -
and give my heart
a pounding earthquake....

have given back
a brand new floor,
new walls, new roof -
a steel front door.

Something to learn
from the terror of fear -
every storm has a lining
and this one is clear...

Life can be turbulent
scary and severe -
but the clouds have a lining
the message is clear...

There will always be
a brighter day -
for any problems
that come your way.

Face each nightmare
that might haunt you -
for after the storms
rainbows shine through.

Progress

Peace
Quiet
Calm

can't be bought...

Choices
Benefits
Lessons

Must be taught...

Belief
Strength
Courage

Should be sought...

Challenges
Heartaches
Journeys

are all you've got.

Cereal

Favorite time
of the week -
Saturday morning
after such a nice sleep...

away from all
the craziness -
quiet with energetic
laziness...

the progress
will be up to me -
I say where
I have to be...

maybe soon
if all turns out well -
this will be everyday
only time will tell.

Potholes

I won't bow down
to the feelings of
depression -

I won't give
in to the world's
obsessions -

I will deal
with my deepest
confessions -

and live another
day learning from
life's lessons.

Red Corners

Strangeness
with the dangerous
the daggers are high...

I can't understand
why they all
ask why...

crazy sells
and strangeness smells
like greenery...

waterfalls with
rainbows drip
beautiful scenery...

Look around
the portrait of your
time here...

nothing lasts
forever and the
words were clear...

one day the
heart
will have to part...

fear.

Teardrop

Fathers leave mothers -
Mothers leave fathers -
children are angry...

and no one benefits.

Morals are passe -
Evil happens everyday -
Lovers walk away...

and no one smiles.

I have to wonder
where we're going,
anywhere or just aimless

ambition.

It's sad to see
the eyes of me -
deadened in this hopeless sea

of the lost.
