This pen is perfect,

Just right for my size.

This pen is indeed perfect,

But there is something I despise.

The lid is cracked and

The ink is running low.

Otherwise everything is fine.

This pen is my favorite

With its words still engraved

And its healthy green glow.

Isolation quickly overwhelms me

Begging for forgiveness, a fallen hand

Desolation I now begin to see

Hanging by a thin thread, a single strand

I watch them… Their fears, their misbehaviour

Mistreat, abuse…. Completely unaware

I am the land, their glorious saviour

Someday they will learn to treat me with care

I wish they would learn to trust each other

To join as one, to stand strong together

A bond, a band and a mighty brother

Forever as one, a powerful tether

You may not know, that fear is their captor

So you may not see each special factor

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea,

But we loved with a love that was more than love—

I and my Annabel Lee—

With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven

Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsmen came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,

The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

Peace is...

When you are outside on a nice warm day

With a cold glass of yellow lemonade.

Fresh out of the oven, put in a box

On my door the pizza delivery guy knocks

I tip the kind man for he delivers joy

The box is still warm, making me feel coy.

I have set my napkin and paper plate

Knowing this pizza would not be late

I slowly open the lid to reveal

The delicasy that can my heart heal

The cheese streaches not wanting to leave

It makes it to my plate pepperoni in its weave

I pick up, gentle as if brushing away my lovers hair

And feel the slow spreading, sweet, spicy air.

The greasy dew slides down my fingers

On my tongue the delicate flavor lingers

Before I know it I am left with a box

From which came love as the delivery guy knocked

Before I leave, almost without noticing,

before I cross the road and head toward

what I have intentionally postponed—

Let me stop to say a blessing for these woods:

for the way sunlight laces with shadows

through each branch and leaf of tree,

for these paths that take me in,

for these paths that lead me out.
