Life Lessons From The Track

Anyone

can go fast

in the straights

 

Winners

go fast

— in the turns

 

(2)

 

Real racers

race

Everyone else

— just talks

 

(3)

 

At the sight

of blood

Your foot

— goes to the floor

 

(4)

 

The last lap

may have been finished

But the race

— is never over

 

(5)

 

Pit stops …

the key

to victory

— or defeat

 

(6)

 

Trophies

are for cases

Speed

— is for life

 

(7)

 

When nothing

is working

— go faster

The Tragedy Of Fall

Late in September

I fondly remember

What caused loves engender

the days all in rhyme

 

Lost in September

a slave to indenture

My feelings surrendered

for you to be mine

 

Laughing we tendered

what pain could not enter

And boldly uncensored

each moment sublime

 

But Fall’s great pretender

October dismembered

Our fate the death chamber

— of Summer mistimed

 

(Poems Of Love: Merch, 2026)

Blues Poem #24

Mojo Risin

 

I got this itch …

 ain’t nowhere

to scratch

A store bought woman

 took

 all my cash

My mojo’s risin …

  so I

gotta go

The night train whistlin

 and calls

through the snow

That feelin stays with me …

 freight car

dark and cold

With every new

waypoint

— my scratchin untold

Road To Hell

 

A blind neglect

imbues our sleep

Where idle hides

a wound cut deep

 

The apathetic

coward reigns

when good intention

— rhymes with pain

Charlie’s Hand

 

“And when we meet in joy again

an Angel’s welcome to befriend

As Heaven’s Gate swings open wide

Saint Peter waiting just inside

With Charlie reaching out his hand

— to take us to the Promised Land”

 

(The First Book Of Prayers: March, 2026)

 

 

Piercing The Veil

 

The tip of your pen

 its inkwell unleashed

to vanquish the darkness

where liars will sleep

 

The point of your spear

finds the darkest heart

To kill and impugn

 — where depravity starts

 

(The New Room: March, 2026)

 

 

Wasteland

 

Staying a stranger

 defines who you are

Living in darkness

— alone and afar

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)  

 

  

Walking The Line

 

An unfortunate truth …

a fortuitous lie

 

The first calls you inward

— the second to die

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)

This Over That

 

Why do I

post here

let me count

the ways …

 

Saying

quiet parts

out loud

other sounds betray

 

Why this forum

over that

which one

best defines

 

What I truly

want to say

mazing through

— the rhyme

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

 

Fruition The Magic

 

The key 

to the puzzle

 that last

final piece

Assumptions

misplaced

with the process

in play

 

The whole

always greater

than the sum

of its parts

Fruition

the magic

with completion’s

— foray

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

 

 

In Love With The Moment

 

Being brave

not about

being different

Or being

indifferent

— but being yourself

 

Being yourself

 in love

with the moment

Burning the candle

whose flame

— in indwelt

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

 

 

Still She Whispers

 

How do you plan

to feed your Muse

with silence

or acclaim

 

Do you stay open

to what she brings

or muted

with disdain

 

Still she whispers

in your ear

in darkness

and in light

 

A lifeline thrown

from deep within

ignored

— to roam the night

 

(The New Room: February, 2026)

 

 

Piercing The Veil

 

The point of your spear

finds the darkest heart

To kill and impugn

— where depravity starts

 

(The New Room: March, 2026)

 

 

Fallow Dreams

 

Wanting so bad

to be good

In virtue

my faults understood

Each choice I now make

forgives a mistake

Displacing the worm

— from the wood

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

 

 

 

Your Choice

 

Do your doubts

destroy

your dreams

 

Do your dreams

destroy

your doubts

 

Your choice

on whom

to blame

 

Your choice

to scream

— or tout
