Juxtapose Opposites attract Looking ill at ease Their differences obvious Like chalk and cheese Their ability is To look within Their similarities Is where they begin Their outsides are Merely just an overcoat Which can be shed Without anyone’s vote Unaffected by the inconsistency Of their packaging They unite in harmony Rising above remarks soContinue reading “Juxtapose”

Downward Spiral
The feeling of hopelessness Covers me in its dark shroud I am dragged into this pit Of gloom and I go willingly The barometric pressure of the day Is wreaking havoc in my mind Confusion has become a familiar companion On my journey into this wilderness Clarity is nowhere to be found As I stumbleContinue reading “Downward Spiral”
Dark versus Light
Being a fairly new blogger some of you are slowly getting to know me through my poetry and things I care deeply about.

Such hardship and suffering exists both at home and abroad. One thing they do all have is hope. Hope is omnipresentContinue reading “Hope”
Narcissism
Narcissism is not a word I have had occasion to use very much until recently. It would seem that a culture of rights without responsibilities has slowly been developing to the point where narcissism has slipped into our daily vocabulary.
