Neither Here Nor There
Expression never quite unveils
the pitter patter thoughts prevail
Tempered myself on flames too pale
But I remain, perfusion.
Our bond is written, shades of grey
I never know just how to say
You move me in your life to stay
But to what square, preclusion
I wish you weren't so unaware
with those who's life you'd like to share
Can't you see it's all unfair?
Separate, intrusion.
I cherish you, my loyal friend
Your warmth and mirth, my love, defend
At times we must learn to append
Modify, conclusion
Scar-bound heart quick with reaction
Pinprick pain in strict compassion
Green eyes engorged with jealous rage
We were not meant to think this way
Boys of winter, fading faintly
Years gone by, and God, they’ve changed me
Heart clasped tightly to your skin
Lines diverging, paper thin
Disillusioned, oxytocin
Hopes and dreams and mixed emotions
Glimpse of hope in light refracted
Shadows played a man distracted
Love entrenched and intertwined
Warm breath, our body warmth divine
Hand in hand, miles apart
We’ll never finish, never start

Perpetual Emotion
To ponder upon the day-to-day dull-drum of today's depression, a drop of insight in the everlasting void of the visceral, vehement subconscious voice. A dagger I've come to call my own, twisting, relentless, into my bleeding hope. But, who better to dissect the tattered past, parsing no words, voice aimed point-blank, directly at your insecurities? Who better an expert witness to the jaw-dropping atrocities that we hold tightly in our blood-stained fist, when in the eyes of the jury we are acquitted beyond a shadow of a doubt. We cry ourselves to sleep with bedtime stories of places we have never been, people we will never know, and ridiculou

We fill our voids with money spent.
A world of trinkets, toys, and lies.
Ignorance seems much more wise.
A rose will blossom after frost.
And sometimes hope cannot be lost.
I hope tomorrow carries light,
to put an end to woeful night.
I hope you'll join me there to see.
An end to corporate misery.
When voices scream, and friends unite.
Unity wins the final fight.
Change can always have it's cost.
And in this whirlwind lives are tossed.
But like a phoenix we will rise.
Our leaders surely hear our cries.

Don't ever ask, or wonder why.
Your eyes lit up, two fireflies.
It hurts to know, it aches to lie.
You're better off, in peace you'll die.
Your life, untainted. Pure and neat.
With greedy lips, your mind will eat.
But some fruit spoils, bittersweet.
Best not suckle Devil's teat.
Inevitability's one cold bitch.
As if you'd always stay like this.
Man is bound to scratch his itch.
Even though his flesh he'll miss.
I tried to save you, this you know.
It kills me softly, takes me slow.
I wish life didn't hurt you so.
I tried to make it white as snow.

I have become that which I hate.
I am the monster that I so vowed to never forgive.
And what hurts me most, my unwilling heart.
But force it so, you have. And I am forever void.

It is from this river of hatred,so many sheep do drink.
The Vile One, who chiseled my soul, too drinks from such a font.
I remain a withered, dying sun.
Amongst those who have long given their hearts up for lent.

You can call this a rant, if you want to.
But I think it little less than an anthem.
You have lost all your dignity, my best friend,
as your efforts of building some comes up quite short.
And what will you do at this life-changing bend?
Will you lie down and burn out or prove your retort?
You can laugh at these words, if you want to.
But I think that you'll see where I'm coming from.
You once stoically taught me of patience.
And here I've been tested, no limit to mine.
But how will I give you another chance?
When chances are raindrops that fall from the sky.
You can try to shape up, if you want to.

I want to die, I want to sing.
And see what April showers bring.
And weep all my paternal tears.
We've lost touch throughout the years.
I want to leave, and let this go.
My love for you, you'll never know.
Your middle finger said it all.
As April showers ushered Fall.
I want to fly, I want to soar.
All of me I now abhor.
I've come to hate this image too.
It brings me back to thoughts of you.
You've made my shadow twist and squirm.
My sadness is a spreading germ.
And now this poem will unveil.
The coming of this tragic tale.
We are soft, like precious earth.
And pained by our enormous girth.
And plagued by our enormous plight.
A candle lit, to stall the night.
We are dumb, and wholly so.
We weep at our excessive woe.
And all we have, is all we see.
It doesn't matter much to me.
We are scared, and cautious yet.
We build and burn our righteous debt.
And through the years we prune and shear.
Till all that's left is our old fears.
We hope some day we'll learn to grow.
Our hope is always last to go.
And maybe if the timing's right.
We'll love with all our heart's delight.

Enlightenment From Ignorance
It is, by sheer ignorance, we grow.
Through happenstance and misjudgment, we prosper in such blinding vibrance.
Pecking like bulimic chicks at one vague and insurmountable worm.
But I understand my prey. I look beyond eyes, through the soul.
Despite all this, I remain human. Confidence and vain intact.
My understanding, nothing, in the face of one thousand new conundrums.
Enlightenment through ignorance.

Sweet dew drops on my skin,
Falling from the sky, soft pitter-patter,
They tumble, they fall, mighty torrent, light downpour,
They reach me, all the same.
It spreads; refreshment, straight to the soul,
It heals; inner noise, peacefully quelled,
It elicits; this feeling within me.
It brings; sweetly evoked serenity.
Heat on my surface, gently contained,
Slowly sapped, one dribble at a time,
Cool rejuvenation, secret wellspring,
Liquid runs through my veins.

Rising and Falling
Oh my dearest shining star,
I only want you as you are.
Remember that and you will see
The beauty in simplicity.
Oh my precious knight in armor,
How your eyes befit the charmer.
And I, a man of such devotion
Will put those features into motion.
Oh my sweetest silhouette,
Has all this sadness left you yet?
We all have made some fatal error,
But guilt will only lead to terror.
Oh my very heart and soul,
We both have yet to meet our goal.
When last we spoke, perhaps November?
Our passion flame is but an ember.
Oh my distant, dying love,
I pray at night to God above.
For your return, Ill always wait.
We swore our love was
I am an aspiring writer with a lot of wonderful, ridiculous dreams. It is mostly the world around me that inspires me to write and the people that exist within it. I hope to some day become the type of poet that people will talk about for decades to come and I am hopeful that with a lot of practice and critique I can become just that. :)
Why are we all so alone here?
All we need is a little more hope, a little more joy.
All we need is a little more light, a little less weight, a little more freedom.
If we were an army, and if we believed that we were an army.
And we believed that everyone was scared like little lost children in their grown up clothes and poses.
So we ended up alone here floating through long wasted days, or great tribulations.
While everything felt wrong.
Good words, strong words, words that could've moved mountains.
Words that no one ever said.
We were all waiting to hear those words and no one ever said them.
And the tactics never hatched.
And th
It Must be your skin that I'm sinking in
It Must be for real 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind it's not my kind
It's not my time to wonder why
Everything's gone white
And everything's grey
Now you're here now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine
Glycerine
I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields
I treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn't love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier
Please forgive me.
I don't understand.
And sadly I probably never will, despite the fact that it is already clear.
I am stupid, impulsive, and childish.
I am lustful, ignorant, and incomplete.
I don't want you to fix me,
I only want you to wait until I can fix myself.
I love you.
And that is all that matters to me.
Please forgive me.
