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. My pops needed help trimming down a tree, so i went outside to see what he’d need…When I opened the door the wind brushed my face,warning me of my mortal fate, but I didntContinue reading “The Day I Realized I Was Mortal”

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”

Out of Sync

Tears slowly flowingdown his cheekthey sit there in silenceno need to speak.He grabs her hand but it’s cold and bleakhe feels her fadingand starts to freak.They’re on new pathsno longer in syncshe touches his facebut his memory blinksand as she goes his knees fall weaknever looking back she’s light on her feet.On the outside she’sContinue reading “Out of Sync”

True Soledad

What day is it today?My phone says July 16th.How long have I been here?A couple of days? Maybe a week?If these marks on the ceilingindicate what I think,then I’ve gone 12 whole dayswithout a soul to speak.Alone in my caveand not a single peep,so I spoke to myselfto get to know me.At first this wasContinue reading “True Soledad”

Late Night Poetry

Thankyou to the talented artist Brennen Rigg for the inspiration. “If I braided a ladder” was too genius for me to come up with alone.

Somewhere Rough

I’m somewhere rough but thats okay enough was enough today’s a new day. One night changed everything it was all a blur, oh how one suffers when problems stir. I lost all control my emotions now steering but how could I hold with my anger still lingering? I’m sorry for my words but understand youContinue reading “Somewhere Rough”

Giving Help

I try to help people in ever way I can some events happen, that we don’t understand. We then become lost, while playing in the sand drowning in thoughts, how much can you stand? But don’t be too negative, theres always a helping hand I believe this is my purpose, but theres no “master plan”Continue reading “Giving Help”

Someone’s Watching…

There’s someone always watching every move you makewaiting ’til you slip upuntil your big mistake.Their life is far too boring it’s become a great big void.Why live their own life when it’s yours that they enjoy?They’ll be watching from afartrying to see it all,maybe from their car or peeking over a wall.We’re all lonely peoplelivingContinue reading “Someone’s Watching…”

Father Troubles

Now when i reminisce I’ve realized your conscious doesn’t exist. All the good you’ve done have become myths you don’t even care if I disappear like mist. I insist you try to fix the problems you resist so that maybe one day we can all co-exist. I love you and I hope you know that,Continue reading “Father Troubles”
