The beautiful game

It’s a beautiful day to play soccer
The weather is perfect it feels so proper

Prepping for the game I sit and ponder
What would I do without soccer

I’d be such a sad little miserable boy
Soccer brings many people so much joy

Soccer is emotions and feeling and more
The beautiful game is way more then just a score

Glowstick Tree

Barely a stump now
poking out from a pool of trimmed grass
but I’m not processing this
because my eyelids are surfing over a canvas
painted black, splattered whites, blooming hues of rainbow
Snap! Pop!
“Come on,” whooped a boy I don’t recognize. “Let’s go put our lights under the big tree!”

Martin Luther King

Freedom freedom, said Martin Luther King. Let us live in harmony, peace, and love for you and me. Freedom,freedom for you and me, let us live in peace and harmony. All people should be treated equally, stand up if somethings wrong, fight for what’s right and not for what’s wrong. We should work as a team,and we should not let skin color change things. We should all be treated equally, all he wanted was just peace and harmony. Colored people should not give up a bus seat and more just because there is difference in the world. We should all get along equally and live in harmony said Martin Luther King, who had a dream.

Villanelle Of The Now And Then

I open my eyes and rise into The Anymore.
The world is burning around me.
I wish to close my eyes once more.

All I hear is music and allure.
The sun’s a warm comforting glow on my back.
I open my eyes and rise into The Anymore.

122, 123, 124, there’s no more going out of the door.
Laying on the floor that’s as cool as a wool blanket,
I wish to close my eyes once more.

It’s raining with water that numbs my core.
A breeze washes by that makes even the tree’s shiver.
I open my eyes and rise into the Anymore.

No more going outside today with the boiling storm,
Hot enough to burn through the last tree on our street.
I wish to close my eyes once more.

The Anymore dawned with the oceans rising but we couldn’t care, too much of a bore.
I open my eyes and rise into the Anymore.
I wish to close my eyes once more.

Holiday Spirit

I really do enjoy a holiday
Like Halloween or Christmas Day, a time when I get to lay.

Most of the time I’m in a good mood
As there’s at least one thing that’s good.

On Diwali, they give sweets; Christmas has candy canes.
Sometimes holiday visits have dogs like Great Danes.

And whether it’s in Barcelona or Plano,
There’s always good music, from trombone to cello.

So as we head into the holiday season
Try to be happy, there’s more than one reason.

When You Find Me

When you find me
At the crossroads of hope and despair
You’ll see that my arms are open
My head tilted to the sky
Embracing the wide world

When you find me
In the deepest, bluest, sea of life
Where both light and darkness dance across the water
You’ll notice that my soul is colorful
Full of light and dark, like the water

When you find me
Buried under the avalanche of truth
You’ll discover that I’ve forgiven but not forgotten
Because memories are the darkness that bind us to this world
Good and bad

When you find me
Among the stars of pride
You’ll hear the song that comes truly from my heart
For the first time
This song will make you laugh and cry at the same time
This song will allow love to echo
As it’s final notes echo
Except they’re not final
Because this song
Is still
Unfinished

Water Bottle

I am made of metal
Not quite as light as a petal
Inside water to hydrate me and you
Just like how the ocean is blue
When your heart’s about to burst,
I’ll be sure to quench your thirst
I’ll always be with you,
no matter what you do
just wait, you’ll see
I’ll be there when you need.
