Feel Your Presence

When
I feel your presence 

When
I stand beside of you 

I can’t fail 
for
there you’ll be 
holding. guiding me 
all
the way through.

A Little Mess Was Made

A little mess was made
And yet the consequences
Were not staged

They came in rolling waves
Bringing pain
Then peace

Breaking on the cheek
Grinding all the way
To aching, hurtful feet

Not sure what to do
Comfort, scold or
let be, let do

The consequences
When
A little mess is made.

Heartbreak Takes The Mind

 

Heartbreak takes the mind
To places I wish I could decline
But instead I tread an uneven path
Cursing heartbreak all the way
Not understanding
This will change tomorrow
To be a happier place than all today.
