A collection of poetry. Memories. Memories are often disguised and veiled/As snatches of feelings and thoughts inhaled/But with each and every telling and repeating/These collective truths take a gallant beating/They become our unique and jeweled prize/Of made-up reminiscences and treasured lies.

A collection of poetry.

Some days I’m hard pressed to see hope or joy / I run tirelessly toward a goal only to discover it’s a decoy / Trusted signposts and markers have only led to the edge of a cliff / The things I once thought were solid are filled with cracks and a rift / Can anything be trusted or is it all just a ruthless, cruel sham / Where the lambs are led to the slaughter and no one really gives a damn

A collection of poetry. Strolling along these serene, grassy banks / I bow my head in wondrous, grateful thanks / For these peaceful, still-moments of grace / From life's hard and rancorous footrace / Where hard knocks follow closely on my heels / And the devil slides up offering his cunning deals / I realize there are few who care about my pain / But walking here I appreciate this day's gentle rain / It's not that I don't see the mud below the flowers
