My mind starts to
Melt like a candle burning
Under the heat of a flame
A waiting game
Until it solidifies back into
A mind I can
Use

A Precious Life
A few brief days
Adds the weight of value
Onto our most precious
Possession
Revel
Once in a while
A book crosses my path
A book so glorious
So magnificent
That all I can do
Is breath in its scent
Revel in its beauty
Caress its cover
And drown in its pages

The more I read
Poetry
The more I experience
Emotion
The writer exposes
Himself
To show the world
His soul
I catch a glimpse
Of art
Of life
I feel a pull
Towards the writer
Like a magnet to a
Refrigerator
I am refreshed
And I want to
I crave
To write
Evolving
Changing, moving,
Always evolving
Never standing still.
Upwards, onwards,
Feeling, loving,
Living in harmony.
Democracy
She stands tall
She stands free
She stands for life
And liberty
She watches over you
She watches over me
She watches over
Freedom’s democracy
It is Time
When we have stood still
For so long that our feet ache
Our eyes have seen all that they can see
The sun has burnt our very skin
We know then
That
It is time
An Abundant Store
I was cut off
Disconnected
Sliced in pieces
Blocked
Ignored
I don’t care
I have no need
For those who
Cannot keep their word
So I look forward
Upward
Skyward
For the world to provide
From its abundant store
Walking Away
There was so much to be said
There was so much I wanted to say
My throat constricted
I choked and stuttered
My face betrayed
My inner pain
I couldn’t do it
I had to go
I turned my back
And walked away
