We had been working on the car for 5 hours straight, I was grateful for his help and so happy on this day. Pops was working down under and needed some light, so he hands me his phone to use the flashlight. I was quick to grab it, just wanting to obey because I respectedContinue reading “The Series of My Unfortunate Events…”

Late Night Poetry…
I see your smileI wish I knew your thoughtsI dream for a whileWhile quietly thanking god.“Are they about me?”I sit there in wonder.Becoming very anxiousLike a dog during thunder.Your eyes meet mineAnd I’m lost for words.Your look was so calm Not a single concern.Your lips touch my cheekThen you whisper,“Everythings okay,This weeks just been aContinue reading “Late Night Poetry…”
A Broken Home…
Their house is packedwith souls thag livebut still it lacksof love to give.Holding to grudges they wont outlive,acting as judgeswho won’t forgive.They speak in whispers so no one hearstheir soft whimpersand flowing tears.Guarding their feelingsfor years and yearswhile always conceiling their darkest fears…
My Dark Fate…
This was inspired by ‘The Illiad’ by Homer. I can only dream to one day be a poet such as he.
Tip-Toeing Through The Long Corridor…
Tip-toeing through the long corridor, trying not to make a sound. Fleeing from the police, not wanting to be found. Wanted for a murder that he didn’t commit, they were only chasing him for the color of his skin. Sweat dripping from his brow as he hears their voices, his heart pounding now while wondering,Continue reading “Tip-Toeing Through The Long Corridor…”

My eyes, squinting from the brightness of my current unknown, had seen a dark figure who was small and alone. Approaching timidly his feature became clear; aContinue reading “A Strange Encounter…”
To The Love I Lost…
I realized too late it was you that I loved Like I was thrown in water and finally woke up.It gave me such energy to scream and shoutBut the fire that began scorching was quickly put out.In the arms of another which caused me great griefIt took me a while to find some relief.Haunting myContinue reading “To The Love I Lost…”
The Day I Realized I Was Mortal
We had beautiful weather on the seventh day of the week, I woke up that morning so light on my feet.

The Rose That Grew From The Concrete
She came from nothing never feeling complete, she slept underground right next to the street wishing for sun or something to eat. Surrounded by rock she was fragile and weak but her roots were strong and propelled her like feet. She found a small hole and started to creep without looking back or thoughts ofContinue reading “The Rose That Grew From The Concrete”
The Avalanche
Through the icy blizzard I walked all night couldn’t see a thing the stars out of sight. Moving without a purpose my muscles become tight, I look to the moon my only source of ligt she’s guiding my steps shining oh so bright. Cold and alone I only see white, I might not make itContinue reading “The Avalanche”
