Those who can, do

They dream

Become

They have dreams

Aspirations

Their strong opinions

Land them in political leadership positions

They become

Lawyers

Doctors

Teachers

Authors

But those who can’t, don’t

As they fade into the background

And have to follow those who did...

I remember walking on the beach with my girl. The sand lapped at our toes making us content with its warmth. We were taking in all the noises of the waves crashing on the jagged shore, the gulls calling over their newest feat, and gentle crabs swaying to their own positive vibe.

We didn’t think too much of it. We were exploring and came across it. It was a Victorian grand piano. We didn’t know ho...

Beyond the maps, where the legends dwell, I ventured into the unknown

I took a plunge into a deep dark cave

The sea creatures greet me with their inquisitive faces

The dampness of my clothes

Pulls me under

My mouth gets as wide as my eyes

Treasure and lots of it

I’m going to be rich

There’s just one problem

How am I going to get it up...

Even the dead tell stories

We haunt

We spook

But it’s all because

We remember all that has happened to us

Our hurts

Bruises

Scars

That is why we

Feed on your fear

Live to make you sweat

And also

Watch out on Halloween...

I saw a poster

Of a little girl

Blonde hair

The kind that forms waves effortlessly

Blue eyes

As blue as the sky

Freckles

From too much fun in the sun

She looked about eight or nine

I never thought too much about it

Until she showed up at my door

And said in a hushed tone

“Please you have to help me”

“I am in trouble”...

I’ve created a monster

I just wanted him to stand up for himself

But now he’s holding me hostage

I wanted him to speak up for himself

Now he has threatened anyone who differs with him

I wanted him to have a thicker skin

Now he threatens the entire human existence...

Peter’s mother told him not to wander out of her sight

One day Peter saw a butterfly

Dancing

Enchanting

Enticing him with it’s smile spread on it’s back

Peter snuck out of the house to inspect it further

He went way out in the field

Until he could not see the house anymore

While he was running his foot catches on uneven ground

He falls and fills the air with silent screams

The last thing h...

I remember the necklace

That I got in France

I also remember the shirt

That I got in Germany

The statue of a shamrock

That has made it’s way

From Ireland stares back at me from my desk

I don’t want to stay in one place

I am like a wave in the ocean

Going wherever the tide takes me...

Pride is a funny thing

It is why the student studies all day

To fully understand and not to need help

But then shoves it off and asks anyway

It is the reason that the employee

Swallows their pride and

Asks their boss for clarification...

They had been arguing

So I ran out

Tired of the shouting and flying objects

I am greeted by the night’s embrace

I look at the night sky

The stars wink at me

As they come out of their sleepy hiding places

I wish I could join them

However they are always out of reach...
