“Raised Into the Warnings”

I was born into a world
that taught me fear,
before I even knew
what fear was doing here.

They taught me how to smile,
how to behave,
then taught me all the ways
I’d need to be brave.

Stand up together

… they’ll never comprehend

The strength of such endeavors

… there’s no way they can defend

Stand up together

… no competition can compete

The choice is rather clear

… they’re afraid of where we’ll meet

“Human Condition-ing”

We read of hearts
that break and bleed,
of lonely souls
in desperate need.
We turn the page,
we sigh, we care…
their sorrow safe
within our chair.

A system
teaching predators
that consequences
can be proofread

Seven shadows
One essay
Ink for violence,
paper for consequence

Cornell calls this justice…
ink where accountability
should have been

Change the structure
that calls this justice
Break the institution
that made it acceptable

“Let Me Love It Honestly”

Let me criticize the thing I love
without making me its enemy.

Let me say
this part was beautiful,
and this part was hollow,
and still mean
I stayed until the credits rolled.

Who taught you to fear?
No cage ever held you near
You were free before me

#Haiku #BadPoet

Truth does not arrive
at the first knock upon the door.
It waits within the hallways,
listening, nothing more.

All else falls away,
without one step stepped toward.
Walls will fade to silence,
and Truth alone is borne.

Sweet words, empty hall
Feet cannot, will not follow
Reality saw

Passed through memories
Gifts from the heart and the soul
Forgotten offers

“A Curious Show”

Some people seem
to need a little stage,
a bit of attention,
a burst of outrage.
A reason to posture,
a reason to grandstand,
a reason to make sure
their presence is planned.

“Naivety”

To meet the world with open eyes,
before suspicion clouds the skies,
to still believe that kindness stays,
and find the good in ordinary days.

Naivety is not always weakness…
sometimes it is fearless sweetness,
a heart that dares to trust and see
what cynicism will never be.

Grace offers to Dream
Hope, Pain, Acceptance and Rest
Trust Mercy and Beauty

#Haiku #BadPoet

Couldn’t find logic.
It hid like hide and go seek.
What did logic fear.

Tangled roots remain
Rainforest’s crowd together
Root bound to the chain

Real truth is messy
Breaking it free of your fear
to hear what you hear

#haiku #badpoet #vss

The first echo
echoes loud,
leaving echoes
echo found.
Feel, the weight
of want and sound.
Remember’s well
of then and now.

“After the Curtain”

When all the painted thunder dies,
and silence takes the stage,
a stranger steps from between the lies
and turns another page.

“What Memory Keeps”

Memory, young,
once hoped as love,
a little heart
that looked above.
It kept the light,
the almost true
and saved the dreams
we never knew.

Thor had spoken once
Of Metaphors Methodry
It was electric
