What I bring.

With his pencil,
to strike a match, light a flame,
To the words he used today,
Ignite in the souls of reader's thoughts
To burn quietly of lessons taught,
Anarchy in the mind, Nirvana for the soul,
To retain, to hold,
Strong words in BOLD,
As a writer, as a mentor, as an artist
He feels the need,
On paper, on canvas, on sheet, he bleeds,
For you, for him, for her, for them,
His/Her mind and soul to bend,
Twists and turns on this jagged edge,
Shattering thoughts lived on a ledge,
Every piece, every thought, every rhyme,
Hidden behind mental walls of granite and lime,
Waiting to break out or break in,
You, and shakes what is within,
Potential, to laugh, to cry, to sing,
As an artist, this is what I bring.

Heart Strings

Show me where you lost your heart
And I'll find it for you
But all these strings on my guitar
Won't solve this
For you.
