I Am not Afraid
By Ken Anderson, 15 March, 2019.
Ah, yeah, there it is...
It's been years; too long.
The memory has faded,

"Respect"
By Ken Anderson, 13 September, 2009
No, I've never felt
Such calm and such peace,
As when I have walked

To offer me greetings,
Or something to eat,

"I Am Broken"
By Ken Anderson, 2 November, 2013...

A Familiar Fantasy
By Ken Anderson , 12 October, 2018

When the drink and the smoke have awakened my sight,

There's an ocean,
Underneath me,
And a thought that
Can defeat me,
O, I'll cry,

I can't make it,
I'm to blame.
O, I'll cry
When I see you
Once more...

When you live too fast...
You forget all the time
That you have...
Take it slow, and let it flow,
Breathe in deeply through
Your nose,
For like a river,
Your soul shall flow...

Is there something I can find
Buried deep in my mind,
An allure which ensures

So naked, as was born,
Just a light, just a spark,
That which pulls upon
The heart,
To awaken, and allow

Somewhere, out there,
There's a place where

Sings a song,
To my mind,
And it's mine,
And it's something
Meant for me,

I feel a pounding, But not in my heart.
Colors are changing; sounds have a name.
The boards on my floor,
Play chess while aflame!
I knew this was coming; I've been here...
