My Poetry:
☮ I wrote these poems in my heydays of being a really zealous & vigorous Expression Warrior! Words would literally rocket propel themselves into my very Being & demand an audience “On the Spot!” even if, that was just a fly on the wall or the neighbour’s cactus tree to recite too.
I’ve taken that outlet since & mashed it all up with the 32 flavours of music & just roll across the plains of aural art like tumbleweed these days. The magic of “Songs” is a calling far too great not to "Hear".☮
Silver Lining Serenade
​
My days come presented with a new palette
& though some days the colours on there are dull
It doesn’t mean what I paint has to turn out that way too
I’m my own artist of my future, my here, my now.
​
How I believe a masterpiece is always possible
Even if all I had to use was my fingers & mud to draw
Just giving it a go is worth framing & displaying alone
& if my tears fall for the day, I’ll paint in water colours.
​
Humming the melody of the silver lining serenade
As I autograph the canvas, “I seized the day!”

Father Time Tells the Best Love Stories
​
When the miles have all been walked
& the seeds have sprouted to their 1st spring
The whistling wind’s voices have succumbed
A new kiss seems like a novel already read.
​
It’s the same view out an old window
& the faucet still makes the same old, “squeak”
The air has smelt the same for years & years
Like you’ve lived the same chapter overly.
Don’t hasten to think, “colours have faded”
For all that’s walked before & by us
& always will do, are nothing but definitive signs
That we’re a perfect love story prevailed.

From When
​
You've always been beautiful
From when you played with straws
Making it into a house, saying,
"If that were ours, it could never be blown down!"
In the summer, you would make icicle pops
& run one along my chest spelling: L.O.V.E
While we sat back enjoying the sunset
On the hilltop, making pictures out of clouds.
​
It was hard not to feel butterflies inside
When you'd go through my music collection
Lip-syncing to ballads, you knew I held dear
Just to tease & see me go all cherry red.
You never cared giving up your weekends
Even when watching my side get clobbered
You'd still cheer, "Hurray, Hurray!" for us
Have I told you, you've always been beautiful?
​
From when.

Whisper a Prayer
​
When the owl gleams a cold stare
& the trees seem to know you're in despair
The dirt ruffles at your feet
& fear is all you hear.
It's cold but, you feel the heat
Jumping puddles, it's like a puzzle
& can't do nothing about the rain
Calling out your name.
Having to look ahead
That empty path remains
What do you have left?
You aren't one to give in.
So you live to tell the tale
Telling all, "God's always there"
One true friend you can always rely on
Just whisper a prayer!

Talking Stars
​
I know you look at those stars
You tell them your dreams
Your hopes
Your heart’s dearest desires
How they shine brighter
When you kiss them goodnight.
While you sleep under them
Those stars come to me
& play your words
It’s the sweetest of melodies
Now I reach for you
Your heart’s so pure & true.
I found a place I want to be
That is forever with you
For, you’re the owner
Of such beautiful hopes & dreams
Making my heart glee
Those talking stars told my fate to me.
