9/11 + 10

Time and peace can go hand-in-hand
Especially when you finally understand
But often in our cloud of haste
We forget some actions are just a waste
And try as we might we can't remember
The joys before this bleak September

You too?!

We all have blood that's red
The differences lie simply in our head
Whether blonde or brunette, auburn or black
Variety is not what we lack
Rather tolerance, compassion and understanding
The qualities that leave all of us wanting

11pm and all's not well

Need to write a rhyme
But the beat is out of time
The fog is closing in
Since this is the furthest I have been
Keep your fingers crossed
That this is not an albatrose

Bike path

When I was young I was afraid
Two wheels and a road were not made
To go together but now I find
They are the best way to unwind
To stretch and tone and just feel free
While blissfully tooling about the country

Past St-Andre

Passing by in the middle of the day
Pounding rhythms float my way
Down from a staircase all shrouded in dark
A jungle beat promising a noon-time lark
But eager travellers must beware
For beneathe the scum lies a viper's lair
Try as you might, the filth won't go
So think twice before taking in a show

Hot oven

Fire burning merrily behind the oven door
Almonds charring blackly while I try to keep them off the floor
Never again the broil will be used
As now I think all the elements have fused
So only frying pans for me
To ensure our safety

Mirena

You deceived us, yes you did
Your lies kept the problems very well hid
And gave you untold wealth
While at the same time ruining our health
Now legions live in fear and pain
Wondering if we'll ever feel whole gain
The worst part is that while we suffer
The MDs drown our concerns with skeptical laughter

Persecuted

Drama queen in the bathroom
Breaking every rule
Determined to be persecuted
In church and home and school

Let's forget all the good parts
And look only at the pain
Focus on the negative
And never see any gain

Give in to pure emotion
And wallow in self-pity
Curse the ones who care
And believe that no one loves me

Walk this earth with care, my dear
As such vision can be blinding
Learn to chanel your anger
Or find yourself caught in a snare that's binding

Sun

Oh sun, you wonderful giver
Making sure that we don't shiver
Casting your heat on every team
Giving us a beautiful bronzed dream
Carry the ball higher still
And make sure that it does our will
For when we wake we'll find our way
And then we'll all know what to say

Weather patterns

When the past is weighing you down
When the worry of others makes you frown
Is it okay to stop and say "no!"
And then to simply shake loose and let go?
The past can be an awful chain
That stymies the present by freezing your brain
A hardened and uncomfortable yolk
Meant to please only other folk
So should your past threaten your blue sky
Take a moment to ask yourself why
A ghost should hold the power
To turn your sun into a stormy shower
