Dandelion

A hobble a wobble

a hiccup in time

Inexplicable unpredictable

without reason or rhyme

A speck a spot

dust in the wind

it's not where you are going

it's not where you have been

Straight through the motions

to see where it leads

From on top of the world

to lost in the weeds

Rainbows to storm clouds

then back again

Under and over

That's where you have been

No fret for destination

enjoy the journey at hand

The trip is worth it

no matter where you land

So get up get out

get lost on a breeze

This is your life you live it

however you please

In the Shadow of a Ghost

Over old bones now I lay

the Very same bones 

From which I was made

I know the legacy

Where it is headed

I've lived my life

and i don't regret it

From the past

You can see the future

Life is a circle

That's it's structure

Form that I know

just what the future may hold

A dismal fate

may soon unfold

I feel the kinship

The need for friendship

Still cold and alone 

is where you end up

Used and abused

torn limb from limb

What happened to the saint the savior

What's become of him?

Page upon page once was wrote

now nothing more than an asterisk

a simple foot note

But one day that little star

will catch the eye

of some curious passer-by

They'll read the story

be moved by the tale

of a tortured soul

who fought for truth

Though in the end still failed

inspired they'll be

to do the same

Then history my friend

will repeat again....

Vengeance Through Victory

You can discount me and say I’m no good

Kick and beat me and tell me I should

 

Give up and turn back I’ll never make the grade

Horse draw deprecation among the cavalcade

 

Winding and finding it’s way through my mind

The pressure pounds poignant request I resign

 

But to dwell in self-pity I won’t stay for long

Never give up or surrender my will is too strong

 

For the dawn of a day in the future awaits

When I shall stand smiling at victories gates

 

All earned none given that paragon shall be

Heart felt and well built incendiary glee

 

Your lack of commitment a back turned on me

Captious action but soon you will see

 

Appetite satiated the hunger within

Success my dear darling will be the sweetest revenge
