Empty, bare, void of light
Fruitful, blooming, cheery and bright
Chilling, brisk, bitter and cold
Sunny, warm, basking in gold
Baron, lifeless, eerily still
Bountiful energy eager to thrill
Melancholy malaise; freezing in time
Awakened and renewed; taking what’s mine
Ill and crippled by icy despair
Joyous as life become blissfully aware
Winter darkness looms over my mind
Spring rejoices, ...
This is the end
Light shatters like broken glass
Fragments are all that remain
New beginnings arise from the ashes
Your memory haunts my heart
I move forward while frozen
Life must start anew
Life must start anew
I move forward while frozen
Your memory haunts my heart
New beginnings arise from the ashes
Fragments are all that remain
Light shatters like broken glass
This is the end...
Societal norms craft picturesque notions
Of love and a life worth living
While realities wane like the tides of the ocean
Hearts weaken from endless giving
Marriage, family and white picket fences
Illustrated with joy and contentment
Being normal used as empty defenses
All the while you brew with resentment
The love you received heals deeply cut wounds
Pain reduces beyond measure
Yet it isn...
Seeking out beauty
In a world of despair
Seeking out truth
That ought to be there
How can what’s right
Be perceived as wrong
While wrongdoers go free
Like they’re right all along?
A childlike vision
Of goodness and evil
Spun through a blender
Delicious, yet lethal
Hope is at arms reach
Yet never in my grasp
The idea of freedom lingers
But never does it last
Is my view distorted
Or is the wo...
6:02
I wake up next to you.
I stare at your sleeping face
So full of beauty and grace
6:58
I serve breakfast on a plate
You smile and lift your head
As I bring it to you in bed
7:34
I’m heading out the door
We kiss before I go
Which lingers a moment or so
12:01
My work is halfway done
The very thought of you
Helps me power through
4:33
I’m finally free
Off early, I head home
To the greatest l...
I rhyme, keep in time.
Words profound, that aren’t mine.
Voiceless, choice-less, expressions of you
A writer, abuser, silencer too.
Forged from your mind
You think that it’s kind
But my thoughts are yours alone
I fear my identity only exists
Under your control
So I break the cycle
Stutter and shift
To bend words in my favor
And maybe now in this release
I’ll exist, no live, much braver
I ref...
NO one thought the vow we made
Would lead to the place we’re in.
STONE by stone we built our home,
But it was bare within.
LEFT unkept, it weakened and rotted,
Housing resentment and fear.
UNTURNED and unchecked, the chaos festered
And our path became eminently clear.
NO change of heart, nor change in mind
Could reverse the damages done
PROMISE by promise we begged and pleaded
hoping the war c...
I didn’t ask for this life; no one does. Holding knowledge of the future in my mind is a responsibility I bare heavily. It’s been a burden on my life and a curse, but a gift all the same.
It began when I was no more than 6 years old. I was a scrawny child, draped in dirty, raggedy clothes. They were the best my mother, a nomadic drifter with no family nor money, could do. I spent my days frolick...
I am without. I am weak and weary. I wither away in the seconds, minutes and hours that pass, all wishing, no, yearning for a but a morsel to fulfill me. I miss the calm and comfort of being full. I miss the warmth that soothed me and the sensation of being whole. I remember the energy I had; the vitality it brought me. I knew it was what sustained me, yet could not imagine how tragic it’s loss wo...
