Ode to Socks Too many times have I neglected you; Made you my puppet, Attacked you with glue. I've been, thick-skinned, tactless, clumsy, and callous. I abuse you, use you, and throw you away. What have you done to deserve such foul play? You may not always be a perfect match, But I have to say, you're quite a catch. You hav... More..

Starving We feed our stomachs But not our souls. Seeing ourselves spiraling out of control, We do nothing but treat the symptoms. The bread of life Cannot be cut with fork or knife Because it is eternal. The emptiness cannot be filled, The abyss grows wider As we try to satisfy the void. The lack of life, the lack of joy, ke...

The Door Opportunity knocks. We open the door and look inside. What we see is change; we try to hide. We block off the door with chains and locks. There is truth found with each open door. There are some doors we tend to ignore. We can't stand facing the door of change. Its frame, its hinges, it seems so strange. The door ne... More..

Success, the word makes me grin. Success has many shapes and fashions. Fame or fortune will not win. The greatest success is compassion. Dedication, intelligence, and time are shattered. Who do we live for, ourselves? We look ahead at broken shelves, Representing people who never mattered. Having compassion, what does it mea... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Precarious journey

It seems like yesterday was a year ago. So much has happened each day; I grow. I've journeyed far these past few months, Waiting for the storms to calm; just once. Even though the roaring seas are calm once more, I can't seem to let go of my rowing oar. I don't trust the calmness of the sea, For the sea can change so easily.... More..

Kindergarten Play with toys, Make a lot of noise, Dance and sing, Dig a whole to Beijing. Playing in the sand, In my own mystery land, Careless and free, Like a five year old should be. More..

The mild smile on his face, His gentle heart, which I embrace. The cold wind gives me joy, It makes me laugh. His love I can't destroy, For it is forever strong. My dear God, it is to you that I belong. The proof of your glory is obvious; The world is your canvas, The sea is at your command. The birds fly by your hand, The s... More..

Gazing into the perplexed expression on his cute little face, I realized how much this little boy has impacted my life. His tears, his smile, his frustration, his mischievous antics, his confusion, his fears, and his love, all of these belong to one person... my little brother. My little brother, Matthew, has autism; autism ... More..

Mystery How can I look down When there is so much ahead? The morning needs no coffee, It comes about with glorious alertness. I do not frown, A tear I do not shed. Life is a sweet toffee That brings about a sharp awareness. There is mystery with the vastness, A treasure to be found. A love that is limitless From the sky down... More..

The winter chills my bones My heart aches, it groans. The light between the trees Flashes with each frigid breeze. The snow twinkles with its glaring purity. I look toward the sea, Never seeing anything, For I don't see with my eyes. The waves are crashing, The gulls are thrashing With their shrilling cries. I look to the sk... More..
