Searching for inspiration,
Looking here and there;
Not knowing where the key is,
The lock’s in your mind.
...

There’s no money in poetry
Coz' poets are the biggest fools

Penning for the love of it
...

To love without conditions
To embrace without shame
To rise above barriers man-made
And live without guilt
...

It goes beyond words
This thing I feel
I just can’t explain
Just look me in the eye
...

What are we chasing anyway?
Always in search of something elusive
Looking forward to find happiness
And delight in a tomorrow
...

I want to write the perfect poem

Or novel, tale or anthem
...

Walking along the lakeside
Sweet mist in the air
Clouding my vision
I see no reason to look afar
...

Thoughts flit in
Ripples in a river
Ever flowing
...

The wide blue highway
Or a narrow winding road,
It really doesn’t matter
As long as you’re walking.
...

Watch humanity chasing paper all the while
With inhumane fervor

Quite like its nature it wraps a person
...

To speak without fear of judgement
To write without pangs of guilt

To laugh out loud without reproach
...

I was blown away by the wind
And landed on the worst surface you’d imagine
When I broke out of my shell and looked around
...

Staring at the blank white space

Wondering what to write
...

There was a time long, long ago
When a person answered to his name
...

When the battle rages within
between ethics and greed
Don't ever give in
And give up what you value most
...

Calm, serene, greenish water.
Clear, cool and deep

Ripples gentle floating away
...

Learning to walk

Step by step
...

Imprint
Some day these words will cease
When I cease to exist
Yet I wish to live on
...

Self made

From dust and grime he arose
With his skin thickened
...

Stinging your face
Harsh rebukes
Thunder roll
Flashes of pain
...
