The Transcendence of Art
Shouldn’t art be felt in both, the head and the heart?
If my words…
Words have a lasting effect and we all have the power to use them.
Let us use them wisely!

Your Heart is Enough!
You were created for great things. Now repeat after me,
“I am enough, I am enough, I am enough.”
Now go out and chase your passions, follow your dreams, seek your place in the world. Your heart is enough and you just might change the world. For if you make a difference and touch one persons life, you just might touch the whole world. Who knows?

Replacing your lies
This is the first poem I wrote for the ‘New Beginnings’ poetry challenge sponsored by 451 Press Poets during the month of January from the prompt Breaking the Habits. The challenge was to write a poem a day inspired by the posted prompt.
Do we not all have habits we wish we could break? To truly break a habit we much replace it with something better. This poem speaks of the lies that we are told and how we need to replace them with truth. Remember that you matter, just believe that grace wins and hope lives!
Melting Hearts
She so easily goes about;
melting hearts,
with soft blue eyes
that will pierce
straight into your soul.
A gentle spirit she carries;
of unspoken grace,
her calm demeanor
belies the strength
she holds in reserve.
Tenderly she holds you;
in mercy’s embrace,
and quietly whispers
of promises to come
and hope in tomorrow.

To Love Unconditionally – Guest post by Darren Tinnerstet
Why do we love
Love is so strange
Love can be addictive
What makes love real
Is love all heart
Or is love emotion
How you show love
Makes love so unique
My form of love
Is to love unconditionally

Another great guest post from one of the members of my work creative writing group. In response to my challenge to them to write a poem of 10 lines in which each line must contain the word love. Thank you Darren, great job! Hope my readers have enjoyed reading some other writers for a change. 🙂
A Bull $^*! Lie
they will tell you
every chance they get
that boys
are not supposed to cry
time to call it
for what it is
a bull$^*! lie
one that we have all
so easily bought into
in one form or another
no matter who we are
take a deep look in
any boy’s eyes
it’s a bull$^*! lie
you see no tears
welling up inside
or rolling gently
down a sloping cheek
a bull$^*! lie
the tears are real
hidden on the inside
for the strength
of our young men
in the face of tragedy
is emotional courage
stop telling our boys
not to cry
it’s a bull$^*! lie

Where are the tender hearted warrior poets that the world so desperately needs to stand in the gap for others and to battle the evil?
Would You Care?
If I said nothing, would you care?
If I screamed, would you dare?
Loneliness calls
As darkness falls
Under a haze of confusion
Walking into the illusion
My mind full of mystery
This is my history
Your heart is steel
My pain revealed
Bound inside a silent need
One that you never heed
Walking alone
Creaking bones
My fate is sealed
Wounds that never healed
A single soft stroking touch
Is asking too much
Lost in my fear
Just disappear
If I fall, would you dare?
If I leave, would you care?
