What do you do when your body feels stuck,deep down or in a rut? What do you do when the thought of moving is too much to bear?The weight of it is like a shirt you wear. What do you do when your feet weighN as much as a ton? Walking is impossible, let aloneContinue reading “What Do You Do?”

Single Beat of a Drum
My poems tend to have a single tone. Like water meeting a stone. Or the ring of a phone. Maybe at some point a new rhythm will begin.Until then I’ll just follow my pen and ride it till the end.

The slam of the shut and the clank of the lock,At this point it is not even a shock Another infraction just like the last a repeat of the past Explain and justify You are just trying to shineContinue reading “Closed Doors”

Some proclaim to know his name.Rising high on His fame. In the end our robes will show.Does it fall above theContinue reading “You Cannot Fake Faith”
