There once was a man named Bill Gates
Whose software provoked extreme hate
It couldn’t compute
Nor could it reboot
Let windows determine his fate!

City lights
Fleeing the roar of city lights
(Civilized pressures force retreat)
Spread my arms and embrace the night
Neon signs are burning bright
Advertisements never sleep
Fleeing the roar of city lights
The cold wind whips and nips and bites
Numbs my hands and face and feet
Spread my arms and embrace the night
I’ll leave this place and find what’s right
Find a place where life is complete
Fleeing the roar of city lights
Freedom for the dark’s delights
To live without the sun’s cruel heat
Spread my arms and embrace the night
Stars are clearer at a great height
I sprint to liftoff on cracked concrete
Fleeing the roar of city lights
Spread my arms and embraced the night

Headline Poem
Some superheroes pull us apart
are they safe?
they have the real power
staying free=power
nightmares of popular science gone awry?
No cure, but hope of death
We won't let this remind you of war
"You've got to take the pain."
On the Brink
No Control

Dance
I can
See myself dancing
I’m dancing alone
With the sounds of the ages
The pain I call home
I don’t move to the rhythm
I’m making my own
Of the heartbroken beating
And (my?) steady moan
The sounds drift as emotions
In disconnected mind
Shifting with crests, troughs, and woes of mankind
I still can’t hear the voices
Don’t dance to their pain
Instead using their choices
They all feel the same
The song courses in tear-tracks
Crisscrossing my skin
They’re invisible to even
Those I let in
I taste bitter sweet truth
Of someone else’s words
They hit too close to home
To be unheard

Haikus
Spring:
Manicured tendrils
Flourish their green fingertips
Serene beckoning
Summer:
Smothering sunlight
Glancing beams of liquid light
Filled glass of summer
Autumn:
Sun scorched passages
Filled with swirling autumn leaves
Empty corridors
Winter:
Raging torrents flow
To powerful ice sculptures
By winter’s busy hands
