WORDS

WORDS

I was a fighter
Now I’m a writer 
my words are  my shield 
my sword my whit
I now fight my battles 
With the words that drip 
From my lips 

It’s no longer physical 
My knuckles no longer bruise 
What comes out of my mouth
Are words which I choose to use

There is no point in arguing 
I’ll win every time 
And some words I use 
May cross the line 
But all I am doing
 is speaking my mind

there’s nothing more gratifying 
than a descent debate 
but I’ll tell you now 
I’ll serve you up on a plate 
Because the answers I give 
Will have you trumped 
And you’ll scratch your head 
because I’ll have you stumped

I can use my words wisely 
And get what I want 
Make your mild muddled 
So you feel like a chump 

The words we use daily 
Defines who that we are 
So use them wisely 
Keep raising that barr
Then maybe just maybe 
In life you’ll get far

Broken

Lost
Fearful, afraid
Trees sway, brace,
catching the breeze, owls
toot and hoot...

Nobody to be saved

Washed ashore
Blood drips from salt encrusted rock
Body bloated, two feet one sock

life is just a breath

Peaks of emerald green
Visions so serene
Sunsets lighting valleys
Like they are on...
