All in time(written in Ireland)
Within the clouds
I see her face
Beyond the storm
Above the ground.
-Guiding my wings
Soft gentle light
Through dismal air
Here gifts are bright.
-All I fear
Is more than normal pain this year
After loss of love and loss of friend
Since no one else has let me in
To talk or walk in space to share
The simple pleasures once we're here
To smile and like this atmosphere
Above the world below
Alone and on my own
Missing....All I knew of love

If Only for the Moment
During times beneath the heavens
Few are seldom blessed to see
Angels move away the stone
To grant a star its will to be
Through belief he made a difference
In our hearts to some degree
Held thy glory in an instance
To become a friend indeed
Heaven gave our star its twinkle
If only for the moment we'd
Kiss the moon goodbye my love
In hope to feel more free
So, when the nightline stained with darkness
Cast a brilliant shining star
We'll remember God is watching
Next to you, our love, not far
(This poem is for a friend that passed away. )

Of Yesterday
I was in to you then
When the air pressed time against fallen sycamore leaves
Wondering as children do with nature
If tomorrow would bring the stars
A hint of luck perhaps
Or you
I was just that nieve
When school grades were most of my worries
And love was blinding my judgement
Where I, your parents worst nightmare
Moved mountains at your beckoning
I am remembering
You as a lasting beam of light
This day
Our anniversary brings back old feelings of joy
Of innocent laughter
Secret dates at local parks
Hiding our feelings to go to the prom

I Am Not An Anchor
Forever isn't long enough
I hope that in my dreams
I get the chance to feel as whole
As when your close to me
I am not an anchor
Time has shifted me
A shattered glass
A broken past
A life left to the breeze
But if there is a method
To mend this fractured heart
I'd travel down that broken road
And make a pain-free start
Since I have seen one thousand days
And days have never changed
I walk much sure for I adore
The change that comes my way

Ba-mid-dele(african poem translated in english about hunger)
Feed my struggle
Where I sleep tonight
Under a star-lit sky
Where my spirit crumbles
If dreams could fly
Love would carry all
Above the hardship
Beyond this wall
The earth, our mother
She'd never cast a side
My people torn with hunger
Or let our daughters die
Just know that I
-Home-
Am a well of wisdom
-Home-
I set fears a side

Brotherhood (Pvt Kennedy)
Reaching for his freedom
with that new car smell
My brother and I
left Army ways behind
watched them salute us off
in the rear view mirror
dissappear in the distance
like memories
aged like fallen grapes
into concrete wine
Back then...
I rode shotgun
down Rancier Ave
adjusting the music
to concur our demons
That was the last time
I saw him
flaunting that thing around
like it was magic
slowing up
