Friday comes and here I find
myself in pensive mood
so it would be a sacrilege
and bordering on the rude
not to seize advantage of
a day when I'm not working
and use it to fulfilment
not of squander or of shirking

I got up early
the sun was a blaze
it didn't feel much
like a day for a laze
so with coffee inside
I ventured out there
dressed up for the chill
as I still have a care
and greeted the day
as it greeted me
the sun as a tonic
to help with the free

The Lone Wolf Lives
In Solitary Silence
He Lays Down
Alone
At Night
A Master Hunter
An Endless Hunger
An Aching Need
He Has To Fight

I dream not of titles before my name,
nor of trophies to adorn my shelf
I dream my simple heart stays the same;
that I do not lose my undecorated self
I dream not of precious gold,
nor of shallow fame
I dream of having stories to be told,
and of having a bigger aim

You speak of freedom
as if it were a lasting thing
I am free to
do what I want
when I want
how I want
I am free
to be me

balloons let loose, by a child
chill breeze, soul flutters

Poetry challenge: Limerick.
The root of freedom is choice
As I see my son, play with toys
The question is about being free
Not to scream or to let it be
But to speak in one’s own voice

Listen as I pray,
And now, close your eyes,
Your love, I must say,
Feel it, cold as ice.
Revenge I seek not,
To you I feel shame.
Playful as a dot,
But love’s not the same.

A grimace from every wound
Piercing the nerve
Unusual self, least attuned
Without control, thoughts swerve
I have often found
Life’s conundrum inside
Losing my ground
With loneliness beside
