Decency
there is no debate
we should be doing what’s right
not just what’s easy
–
morality is
happily doing
the hard work

Fragility
an arc of limestone
scoured by the desert wind
carved by passing time
–
balancing rock-
sculpted by wind
and time
Introspection
often I frequent
my mind’s darker recesses
to search for solace
Or
in the dark corners
of my mind
seeking peace-
Destiny
Peace is elusive
But a respite from the past
Would suffice for now
Waiting
A tendril of smoke
Rises from her cigarette
As she sits alone
Humanity
Hatred is easy
Love and compassion require
Effort and hard work.
Jitters
With trepidation
I plant a kiss on your lips
Hoping it takes root
Regrets
All this cheap bourbon
Can’t help me forget the blood
I just can’t wash off
Memories
Lightning bugs at dusk
Their glow, a beacon for those
Seeking simpler times
Awakening
I took for granted
Always waking up next to
Your side of the bed
