I wake early in the morning,Venture forth and gazeAt the majesty that surrounds me.A jewel littered landscapeWith lazy mists caressing every blade of grass,Every petal of every flower. This scene appears alien to me.Most of the day is bright and mundaneBut at this hour it is magical.Not often does one truly admire the beautyOf Nature.Everything coalescing to present the very core,The very bounty that life has to offer. Like a dream it will fade,Dissipate in the morning sunBut now in th...

Funny how suchNatural thingsHave been skewedBy Society. We think our urges,Our desiresAre somehowUnclean. Though there isA certain beautyIn all that is deemedInappropriate. Be it the unbridledThrobbing and gyratingIn the sweetest passion. Or the savage,Enraged and bloodyBrutality that someSeem to enjoy. Think outside the civilAnd enlightened and you seeThat animal craze that lurksWithin our very being. We cast asideThose dark, dark thoughts.Yet still have themI...

 Actions speak louder than words and from what I see, They shout nothing but hypocrisy. Day after day and time after time,I see people talk the talk,But can’t walk for a dime. I wonder if they think,That somehow their soul is saved,By saying and not doing,And committing acts so depraved. What is wrong with these people?(Or should I call them so?)That feel ever so fine,Looking down on you,As they continually cross the line. On one hand they believe,On the other they decei...

Nonsensical blather,Is the heart of this matter,Can you follow along?I make up weird phrases,Like puppy dog mazes,In the style of song. So keep on reading,Lest your eyes start bleeding,And perhaps you’ll get a chuckle.Run from the jelly bean ninja,Win a walking tour of Kenya,And commemorative marshmallow buckle. Oh how funny,When it is sunny,And warthogs lick cartoons.Though it may be a mistake,I’m not quick on uptake,But don’t livers become balloons? Let us change the scheme,A di...

 So I saw you standing there,Back to me,Hair blowing in the breeze.Laughter carried on the wind. The most beautiful thing,I’d ever seen.Striking up my courage,I venture forth. Days pass by,We date and we talk.We grow close and intimate,I’ve never felt this way,Never before. One day I buy it,That familiar little object.Seemingly so insignificant,But a commitment behind it. Yes?You actually said yes?Heaven, surely this is it.My heart flutters and I kiss you. So many y...

I saw the first ones,Today, I saw them.Those little white specks,Fluttering down. Only a few at first,Surely more to come.Like a sparkling shower,In the morning sunrise. Oh how the cold shook me,The bitter bite of the wind.Cuts through you like,A sharp steel blade. But those lovely flakes,That seem so pure,Innocent and virginal,Make it worthwhile. I feel at peace,When I watch them,As they slowly come down,Fluttering Down  ~Zoo

I feel old,For some strange reason,I feel old. It seems like,I’ve seen a lot,But I know there’s more,So much more. Maybe it’s because,I think too much,Learn from other’s mistakes,So that I feel I have more,Experience. When I grow old,Physically,I wonder how I’ll feel,Ancient perhaps? Odd feeling to have,At such a time in life.Though maybe not bad.Feeling a little older,Makes you think ahead. Probably better than,Being frivolous and,Wasting so much time,Being stupid. ...

I who stand here,Who am I?What is my purpose? To change the world?Is that possible?For me,One person? But,What is the world?Just a perception?If so, then I can.I can change it,By changing you. If I can touch your life,And perhaps make you see,The world a bit differently,Then I can change something.I can leave a mark,I am able to find purpose,In you. ~Zoo 

What can I say?What can I do?When all my thoughts,Turn to you? For all this time,I’ve longed to speak,But I only listen,I think I’m weak. I know it’s not, My place to say,But seeing you,Brightens my day. Surely you,Deserve much more,I wish I could stop,But you, I adore. I apologize,I am a mess.I don’t want to,Cause you distress. I’ll be here,Off to the side,Don’t you worry,I won’t harm your pride. I know my place,It’s ...

Falling, falling apart.What to do now?Pick up the pieces,Carry on? Perhaps give up,And just lie still.To get up is to be,Knocked down once again. That idea,Sickens me.To get stronger,One must rise. Arise from the ashes,Like the magnificent Phoenix.Rejuvenated, brilliant, shining. Tripping, stumbling,All part of life.To stay down is to die,To die is to surrender. Want to try?Go ahead,Keep on,Try again. Give up and you fail,Never give up and your win,Is merely delayed...

Tick-Tock,The throbbing of the clock.Work to be done,But I’m more into fun. I think I’ll sit here,And stare at the wall.Things to be done,But I’m having a ball. There are papers to write,Things to be read,Time to lie around,Stretch out in bed. What’s with all the rush?The deadline’s far away.Give me a break,While I hit the hay. It’ll work out in the end,I’ll get started soon,It’s due tomorrow,But I like watching the moon. You need to relax,Don’t worry so much,If you don’...

Here I go,Stumbling through the dark.Chasing that flickering flame.Again and again I try,But once again I fail,Is there anyone to blame? It’s cold and I’m alone,Deep in this hellish night,On and on I push,Trying to find the light. This journey I hope to finish,Sometime very soon,Searching for meaning and purpose,But somehow I feel doomed. Is this any way to live?Any way to be truly happy?Never resting - always searching,For the Will-O’-the-Wisp in my dreams.Closer and closer I com...

Crisp night air,Colorful, crackling leaves,Time for trees to sleep,For crops to ripen,For animals to scamper to and fro,Stocking up for the harsh winter to come. Another turn of season,School back in session,Halloween and Thanksgiving,Candy and a huge meal,Fall is a celebration. Kids with the sniffles,Wrapped up in cozy blankets,Watching the north wind blow.Frost will come soon,And snow may start,The year draws to a close. Breathe in the earthy scent,As life winds down,Falls aslee...

It’s been awhile,
Hasn’t it?
Yes, my friend,
Come in, sit.

Tell me,
How has life treated you?
Good, bad, indifferent?
I see you’ve gotten through.

Your dreams,
Do you still have them?
To make a difference,
To shine bright and never dim?

It’s such a shame,
Don’t you agree?
To have grown apart,
And never have time to see,
Each other and our friends,
And watch who we’ve come to be.

I’ve missed you,
Can you say the same?
If not then,
Am I to blame?

I wish that you co...

What do I have to say?
Is there anything left for me to tell?
What is it about today,
That has me in such mental hell?

My mind tends to wander,
About what will or could be,
And I find that I always land,
On the point of uncertainty.

From dawn to dusk I work and work,
And at night I drift to sleep.
However, the night is not silent,
For my worries tend to creep.

I think of the future,
I think of where I want to go.
Will I venture forward?
Will I go on with the show?

Perhaps...
