Two suns dancing among the stars
One so radiant one so dark
Both offered a message defining their story, so stark
Oh, radient sun ever so bright everywhere you shine your light. The stars are amused to their delight
Dark sun full of gloom the stars shutter as you seal your doom
Stars twinkling to the song of their radiance their magnitude and beauty
shines their brilliance
In contrast to the dark sun losing its light, nothing will be lost if you fade out of sight
For a time, many suns may bring us warmth as they sing their song in delight
Yet, all shall eventually disappear into the night
The fool plays his song, having no care if he is wrong or right
The stars will only love you when they are aligned and in proper sight
Shadows dance within the firelight
Shifting their ways within the haze
often falling out of phase
Stars will dance and laugh with the moon
as long as it sings the right tune
Even if the song is a bit awkward, it will still be
around making no sound when it's light abounds
Oh it's been said, do not go gently into that good night, the fool dances still to his delight
the stars fade from his sight all that's left is the darkness of the night

About this poem:
The difference between the awkwardness of a man who exudes confidence despite his insecurities vs a man who uses his fears that shape his behavior and beliefs.

Drops of red
Sharp steel pushes down gently on milky skin,
The slight pop as it gives way,
Slides easily along the cut opening a line.
She watches the red line form,
The perfect drop of blood like a jewel,
It gathers all the pent up feeling inside her,
Hangs like a perfect tear for a few seconds,
Then falls to the ground.
She feels the weight of her heart drop,
And the lightness of releasing all the hurt.
The tears now able to fall and run like a river,
Her eyes cleansing her soul.
And the carm washes over her once more...

A very close friend once told me cutting herself was the only way she could cry,

In the Twilight Zone there is an episode called
A Kind of Stop Watch
This guy gets a stop watch which can stop time
He ends up breaking the watch when he robs a bank
Then he is stuck forever with no one to talk to
I think that if you get a majic stop watch
You should press it before you leave home so it stays safe
If you can't part with it then put it in a cushioned case
I do so with my cell phone
What makes this episode one of my favorite is the character
He desperately wants to be a good communicator
But instead is the biggest bore on Earth driving everyone crazy
Including his boss who fires him
If you haven't checked out this series from the late 50's to early 60's
You should, it has a lot of great episodes

In the beginning we give ourselves so freely and completely.
As we progress and discover hurt and loss, we hold back parts in case we lose them.
When we have chunks of who we were missing, we are so gaurded that nobody can truly know you.
At this stage, I am finding that I throw everything I am, the good, bad and ugly, one by one and wait for them to fail, because they will it's human nature.

About this poem:
I guess it's knowing what you are doing and why that's a good thing.
I still hope unrealistically that someone would pass my test and be strong enough to stay.
But then I would have to let them.

The least among us are often the best
Not always in referral to greatness
More speaking about a personality
Before the dive to the abysmal bottom
How lofty and often one may speak
May never never again be reached
The genius that tries be-riddles me
Makes a mockery of my freedom
The giants among us all still rivals
All the attention so badly needed
To separate the good from the bad
Where nothing so spectacular as evil
Ever rule over our hearts and minds
So sojourn on my soldier friends
Marching to the drumbeat called liberty
I follow only that what I can defend
And share hope like rays of sunlight
Breaking through the dense darkness
Above the shouts does freedom cry

About this poem:
Abstract about the loneliness and solitude of conviction, about the desire for freedom and liberty.
Independence and Unity that march side by side is stronger than the forces that separate them.

A small figure leapt out with gold.
Storms can get bogged down on his foretold
Mischief lingers in his mind
Hot air blows him up wide
Reaching the top of a flower load

It starts out as a twig
It grows to be big
No trees are the same
you can watch the tree mature
It’s really up to you
Some flourish in the sun
Yet some are nourished by the shade .
Some trees are wide
While others grow to be tall
A tree will never be a replicated
Some mature faster
Others slower
Some form pines
While other form leaves
In some ways
A person can have the some characteristics of the tree
No fee needed
some say a tree has feelings just as we
You can’t expect a person to be the same as trees we can Bend on knees we can choose to change how we grow
Some can be molded
Some can’t hold it together
We are meant to use are minds
Yet none of us are the same
We can play in the sand
Holding hands
We can play in the fallen leaves
We can use a pine tree
For Christmas
We are fortunate enough
To know how to protect our selves
We Know best for us

Each and every day that goes by
I see the pain and hunger in their eyes
Knowing not their story, I ponder what they
worry and the tears they cry
Sitting in the blistering sun with their signs
of help some in wheelchairs some with dogs
that yelp
Some walking with their whole life in a shopping cart
Living in what is considered the richest nation of opportunities on earth is slowly losing its image and sense of worth
One can only wonder where they come or where they go when the sun drops so low
As the cool of night becomes the flow
The saying goes give me a fish I eat for the day, teach me to fish I eat for a lifetime
It sounds so simple and sublime but, easier said than done in time.
As cars drive by seeing the poor and broken lives within a lot of a store whose net worth is so much more than a million who work for them like slaves to fill the coffers
why are there still people living like paupers?
Oh, many say it's by choice, and they don't seem to have a voice.
Others say they make it a career to beg in the streets looking forlorn mild and meek
As some have been seen going home to mansions along the beach, there is a lesson to teach
For not everything we see as it appears to be
Yet, for those who have nothing but the clothes on their back
What to do to cut them some slack
For it is said long ago I was hungry and you fed me I was naked and you clothed me
I was sick, and you comforted me
When you have done to the least of these you have done for me.

Today I opened the door to the cage around my heart.
I slowly pulled each memory out, smiled, cried, kissed it and held it close one more time, then opened my hands and watched the soft beautiful butterflies with gentle colours fly free.
I let you go today.

I've finally matured.
I'm starting to notice
How the hands of a clock
Scroll the time.
I realize I'm already not twenty.
So, I am not shy to cry .
I love nature and
I enjoy Aprils wind
And for the first time
I can see
That some things
Are deafeningly " too Late".
My voice trembles
Treacherously in my poems
The universe is right,
Our life just makes circles
On the water,
And I rejoice it,
Following the flow....
