Patsy
A quick poem about Patsy Cline.
What is poetry to the artistically challenged? Words and rhymes on a page, set to a metre obliquely defined. Those with empty plates need not the epiphanic call. Those with shuttered eyes feel just as strongly or not at all. But poetry doesn’t qualify with definitions. It drives from wordsworth’s […]
For my Grandmother
Glistening strings danced along the deepest fibers of my being They lapped and lounged, filled my bounds and wound up in my needs But now the threads, whom I had always dread are cut through right and quick I flit and float, on an anchorless boat wishing life wasn’t […]
For my Stepfather
There comes a time- Between yours and mine When we reach for all the branches When your limb was missed Throughout fates dreary kiss Nobody grew quite frantic For you’re a father Without all the bother Who took nothing quite for granted And now a card, without […]
Differences
That voice on my brow which carries me through Stretches along my anachronistic mind Breaches through the softest cries and changes what was blue Family and friends, they cannot carry– This weakness found within But experience grins when the veil becomes thin and all the world is merry
Open to the Air

Devotion
The deluded of all traits Devotion would have you believe in perfection Sprinkle it too lightly and you’re abhorrent Too deeply and you’re a fool This is the dividing line in life To what do we apply our allegiance Who deserves our worship Only those with more than a pinch
The Wind
I know why the wind calls with a thousand voices Its arrival is an argument, a clash, a forced opinion Nature knows no allies, time knows no structure But man is all-consuming Those damned voices, stretching across modernity Who are they to tell us we’re wrong Who are they to […]
The Gnomic Father Pt. 5
It’s time we talked, of who we are No, not skin and voice, not money nor choices It’s about your soul, about your poisons You need to find yourself, find your guiding star There comes a time, when you’re in a place You’ll know it well by how it […]
