Writings
The Tower
Upon a rocky,
narrow mountain,
the tower stood tall.
Until struck by lightening,
then itsā people are thrown into fall,
headfirst,
with arms flailing.
Liberation, prevailing.
You see, the foundations were poor,
and the tower didnāt stand a chance,
when faced with divine intervention,
and itsā pain...
The Lovers ļæ¼
In the garden, two hearts meet,
And bind together to make one beat.
Against all odds, The Lovers stand,
Side-by-side, hand in hand.
Their gaze locked in a silent vow,
To stay true through the here and now.
Passion's flame, a tender kiss,
In this moment, purest bliss.
Harmony in duality,
Reflecting love's reality.
A union deep, beyond the skin,
Where two lives end and one begins.
The Lovers' da...
The Fool ļæ¼
Upon the cliff's edge, The Fool does dance,
Unburdened by fear, he takes his chance,
With a heart wide open and spirit free,
He steps into life's vast mystery.
A bundle of dreams upon his back,
He wanders forth, no set track,
Embracing change with every stride,
The world's his oyster, wide and wide.
No map in hand, and no set time,
He follows the call of his own mind,
For every fall, a lesson l...
Tarot Card
Walking under brights lights
Having the night of my life
Soon I ruin that
By walking towards a lady
All dazzled up
Her cards laid out
Paid her a dollar
To show my future
I wish I never did
For now I canāt leave my house
Because of that damned tarot card
I now walk under the lights frim my ceiling fan
Living my life in fear
For that tarot card
Told me death was here
I dont want to ...
Strength Within
Both physically and spiritually strong
Being pushed to be your best
This karmic fire wonāt last long
Mastering the elements to attest
To this transformation to see you shine
You are stronger than you think
With your intellect and mind
Your wisdom and logic is on the brink
Grasp it tight and hold on for the ride
Through your wisdom and knowledge unique
Use it all as your fierce guide
For the fre...
Bad Behavior
(If the idea of death or losing someone scares you, or if you would prefer to not see something disturbing today, I recommend you look away)
I hear someoneās not doing well, that they may be a little sick
And in my head before I can stop it the movie starts playing
Theyāll be dead maybe, in a month, or a week
And yeah the idea definitely scares me, but Iām a psychopath so I find how I can benefi...
Swimming
Up on the blocks
bend over
Pull back
I imagine myself in the water
Swim fast
Donāt be scared
Swimming for five years and yet I still worry
That I will drown
Get sick
Or just go slow
My Mom doesnāt care how I do
She just cares that I love the sport
But if she doesnāt care
Then why do I
Why do I care if I go slow
Iām only fourteen
Iām not joining the Olympics
This is only a small swim meet
