Still Skates Published by Allpoetry.com
Whizzed past me on my way
to peace
anger ripping
through the soul
of who I love
alter ego
destroys my morale
and sleep comes
after an eternity
as he comforts
me to dream
Drifting into nowhere
deep side
refuge from the war outside
where battle lines are drawn
and then everyone lays dead
pieces decorate their souls
where my line of fire
did its deed
Regretfully, slowly
tiptoe around them
careful not to meet their eyes.

Plastics Poem Published on Allpoetry.com
Plastics
Familiar tune of beginnings
Grabs me by the shoulder
As I rediscover faith in the above
Shaken to my core
My belief system challenged
To the breaking point
Going back to what I know
A softness in the ease of it
Belligerent with time
Standing still
To feel the wonder of it all.
T.P.
