Road winds before me
Pedaling through country side
Bike and I allied

Mischievous duo
Debris strewn about
Like tornado come to pass
Dogs playing all out

A man made disease
Corruption has spread
Like the stench of the undead
Putrid and fetid

Which is louder?
Wise may be our words
Although, at times, our actions
Come out quite absurd

Practicing Restraint
If we would embrace
A modicum of patience
Anger would efface

A Little Elbow Grease
Will requires no skill.
Hard work and dedication
Is your salvation.

The Meaning of Christmas
Lest we all forget
The real gift is His presence
Not store bought presents

Withdrawal
Toxins in your veins
Lead to desire induced ire
Making you insane

Twilight
As shadows dissolve
Final shimmers fade from sight
So begins the night

Looking for a Lozenge
Like gargling crushed glass
Throat chafed by the cold dry air
Winter's come to bear

School of Hard Knocks
From our teachers stern
With bitter respect we learn
Enlightened in turn

For erudition
Higher learning is pursued
And knowledge imbued

Final request
With one wish I’d ask
Perchance, just a little more
Life with you before...

Acceptance
Reality is.
And with perception aligned
Finally resigned

Depression
Misery imbues,
Festering like a virus
Within the darkness

Bargaining
Brash desperation.
Offering this over that
Still won’t change the fact.

Anger
Jaw clenched; senses robbed
Infused with caustic venom
Ire blurs the vision

Denial
Reality shunned.
Fabricating perception
Eludes emotion.

Terminally ill
The news received
Waiting through hateful respite
The end now in sight
(Prologue to the 5 part series on the stages of grief. Authors note - I am not terminally ill; this represents how I think I'd react upon learning such news, at least initially. Of the 5 stages of grief, Anger is the one I believe I'd have the most trouble getting past.)

All in good time
Patience bears all things.
Enduring builds character,
From whence greatness springs

Ruin begets life
From the fallen ash of fire

Bond strengthened by time
The union of man and wife
Together for life

Sacrifices of freedom
The taciturn child
Single tear upon his cheek
War claimed dad last week

The cost of keeping up with the Joneses
Is it really worth
Living as a grasshopper
To die a pauper?

Beware your carnal passions
Like drugs, lust poisons.
The former costs you your life
The latter, your wife
The former costs you your life
The latter, your wife

Bold and breakable
Rash and quixotic
A young mans ego so brash
‘Til his dreams are dashed

Man's best friend
You say “just a pet”
But for me, when he dies, it’s
Pain I won’t forget
But for me, when he dies, it’s
Pain I won’t forget
