Walking Your Path

Until I wore your over sized scrawny shoes…

 Scuttling through harrowing dark tunnels,

 Dodging bullets and bombs,
I never knew where it pinched.


 Until my roof was scalped...
Like a bald vulture in rain, drenched,
Flapping its wet wings,...

The Nostalgics

Come with me and have no fear,
To a place where dreams appear.
Hold my hand, don't let it go,
Through the shadows, we'll flow.

The castle's gate will soon unbar,
A haunting tale from lands afar.
They speak of a star's ghostly glow,
Within...

Law 4524

It is coming through the deepest,
hits me times 4,
From the nightmares the creepiest,
ended 5 secs before.

Still mocking elder wisdom
Despite already 24,
My mind's absolute freedom
Keeps making space more.

Refusing the reach of 45
Yet...

EXAGGERATE!

I’ve been told,

 “You Exaggerate all of the stories you tell.”

They say my stories sound like explosions, when I retell an event or matter.

They say I use big words to fill in gaps that shouldn’t need to exist.

“It’s probably part of your...

Life Of Dawn, Joy And Ashes

Life Of Dawn, Joy And Ashes

Beginnings are delicate times of dawn,
Joy and ashes that require attention
Details and care expect
Our complete engagement
Just a flower so soft and fragile
Needs soil, sunshine and rain
So as to grow nourished

Enabling

When dissolved,
A brave,good man vanishes without fortitude-
No longer drinking in the magic of the earth,
He wails in the silence of hope,
But no one hears him-
Because first, you must clasp his hand and recognize him for what he is-
Before...

The school truant boys.

The school truant boys.

I like to see the faces
of school truant boys.
When others are infront of the grave teacher.
Then nature is their very near.

The trees,the ponds,the fields
are their mates.
and they are playing
with their...

Blueprints

In the cards or chords
The more I live and know
It’s more design than chance
I believe in fate
So be it
Well I guess I’ll know when I die
Chance or design
The debate...

A Loving For Chaos

A loving for chaos.
In ways displayed.
Within their DNA.
At any cost or the loss,
Of the public's interests.
Proving to do this,
Regardless of being picked and selected.
As leaders chosen,
To defend and protect...
A democratic way of life.

The half eaten apple.

The half eaten apple.

That day I saw a half eaten apple
laying on the side of the road
which was unable to fill the stomach a man
and unable to fill the stomach of cattle.

I kicked the apple
and it fell into a gutter.
I thought what could...

Breathless In The Beauty

The sun is shining, skies are clear,
but without you, I feel the fear.
The beauty takes my breath away,
reminding me you’re gone today.

The flowers bloom, the birds sing bright,
but in my heart, an endless night.
On this sweet day, I miss...

Affinity now

The system of oneness in our universe, that connects all that we see.
Steering us to choices we need to make, showing how it’s all meant to be.

Each group has their own special way, to communicate with each other.
But underneath is an unseen...
