Peace from irritation

Peace from irritation
Daily sandpaper rub
Misrepresentation
Of the Joy of Life club

In this minute of grace
Through my buttonhole realm
The threads of the World threads
Me to the Overwhelm

This want of infinite

This want of infinite
Pure imagination
To describe the finite
Great interpretation

Can the abstract define
Are we simply amused
Are there answers in light
When darkness is refused

Finding forgiveness fails

Finding forgiveness fails
Anger still exploding
All the years swallowing
In silence imploding

The option to forget
Recollecting no more
Can simply be achieved
Just by painting the door

It’s not about gun rights

It’s not about gun rights
It’s about Life and Death
The gun in the wrong hands
Has us all out of breath

Our rights to Life and Peace
Should never be denied
Laws are to protect us
From all Bonnie’s and Clyde

Thinking of Gedney Park

Thinking of Gedney Park
A blinding sunny day
Minutes with my mother
Before the life decay

Swinging plastic golf clubs
Trying to hit balls hard
The only time she played
With me and James Gerard

My heart stepped on like an

My heart stepped on like an
Unharvested turnip
My spirit battered like
Mud thrown at a tulip

Surviving primary
No more present danger
Now that the narcissist
Has been made a stranger

Still learning to accept

Still learning to accept
Defeat, matters of loss
Changing my perspective
Coming down from my cross

Buffer the breaking waves
Knowing out there's a swell
Stop wallowing in self
Bodies drowning in hell
