The EOD waits
Patiently, to welcome you
Into its darkness

2020 A new decade ~ #poem
Golden shiny Happy New Year
A new decade
Is on its way
Beckoning change
At the end of the day
No need to look away
Let alone be afraid
It’s time to strip away
Pretentious charades
Hate that pervades
Let go of the shame
Relinquish any blame
Allow animosity to fade
Until all that remains
Is yours to take claim
In humanitarian gains
Give out accolades
Watch what you say
Hear what’s conveyed
Sweetheart
Somebody already broke my heart
I put the pieces back together
Called it a work of art
Every now and then it’ll fall apart
Around tender and weak parts
When I slip into the dark
In these words of wisdom I impart
You too deserve a fresh start
To find your counterpart
Keep playing; throw the darts
Until you hit and perfect the mark
Then reveal all your cards
Be selective; order à la carte
To savor all your favorite parts
Haiku #334
Dawn breaks every day
Some people will never change
As darkness pervades
Stand strong ~ #Tanka
The weight of the pain
Is hard to bear on some days
Smiling through the rain
Eventually, it fades
Stand strong, wipe the tears away
Haiku #327
Against darkened skies
You can spread your wings and fly
To glorious heights
Breaking the cycle ~ #poem
You gave me the vision
That came with permission
To stop being mistreated
Without feeling defeated
In uncomfortable positions
That’s all I really needed
