In A Silent Place
He sought
to be a poet
to gain praise
inflict astonishment
on spellbound minds
but the umbilical chord
of despair
soon strangled
the neck of his ambition
through snarled
similes
and bungled phrases
worn, novice attempts
flatlined
lowering themselves to
grammatical graves
each terminated
like a botched
poetic stillborn

Feral Flowers
Wildflower secrets.
My feral heart beating deep.
Saunters crazily.
My feral heart beating deep.
Saunters crazily.

All I’ve Got
I know I’m not as pretty
As those who came before me
It makes me wonder why it is
You say that you adore me
I know I’m not as smart
As others that you’ve dated
I’m not sure why you chose me
I never graduated
I look into this mirror
And I think I’m a mistake
That karma brought me to you
My heart is meant to break
I know I’m not quite confident
Can’t hold my head up high
I can’t look up, am I enough?
Keep asking myself why
I don’t know why I do this
Compare myself to others
I...

Distant Travels
As my mind reflects
voices from within
tell me to soul search
a personal energy
that resonates
changing my perspective
as multiple beings
alert me that my time will expire

self obsessed poets, among whom I include myself, would, if they so wished, have so much more to give
your ivory tower is
yourself in which you
live regardless of
everything else
yourself in which you
live regardless of
everything else

I’m Sorry
I could write something eloquent
But I’ve run out of words
I can’t hide behind
The fairy tale anymore
I need a new narrative
I’m learning sign language
Because my big mouth
Always gets me in trouble
Maybe my tiny hands can behave
But I’ve run out of words
I can’t hide behind
The fairy tale anymore
I need a new narrative
I’m learning sign language
Because my big mouth
Always gets me in trouble
Maybe my tiny hands can behave

Am I Allowed?
I miss
The way you keep a goofy smile plastered across my face
How you make me laugh uncontrollably until my sides hurt
I miss
The way that time seems to have no rules when we talk
Feeling like you are there sharing my day with me
How this empty hole inside of me disappears
I miss
The peace that you bring to my soul
The calmness that you bring to my mind
I havent had this feeling in a long time
This beautiful ache
It is overwhelming in the most wonderful way
I miss you...
The way you keep a goofy smile plastered across my face
How you make me laugh uncontrollably until my sides hurt
I miss
The way that time seems to have no rules when we talk
Feeling like you are there sharing my day with me
How this empty hole inside of me disappears
I miss
The peace that you bring to my soul
The calmness that you bring to my mind
I havent had this feeling in a long time
This beautiful ache
It is overwhelming in the most wonderful way
I miss you...

Don't assume it's everyone else, it's you as well
Aren't we all raunchy
Innocent until proven...
Face it, you're guilty
Innocent until proven...
Face it, you're guilty

Clouds
Sometimes
I sit and stare at the clouds
So white and fluffy
Like big clumps of cotton in the sky
Inviting me
To come and lay my head down
To be embraced
To feel their comfort
And sleep
Forever
I sit and stare at the clouds
So white and fluffy
Like big clumps of cotton in the sky
Inviting me
To come and lay my head down
To be embraced
To feel their comfort
And sleep
Forever

and i drank from that stream
how such
clouds became
headstrong,
but i
heard it
wasn't personal,
somehow
things still
looked lost,
but, the
rage sounded
elegant,
the storm
ran across
the land,
i took
its ambition
very seriously,
but now
we have
made peace,
i listened
to
the waters
crash onto
the banks,
and i
knelt down
beside
and i
drank from
that stream.

food
I eat simply
I mean it isn’t
hard
I simply
chew and then
swallow
I mean it isn’t
hard

The doctor is usually wrong
Obscene Vision
Life is spelled wrong
Doesn't sound right
Can't hear any screams
Can't smell fear of burning bodies
Can't see any pain or frustration
Nope, it's just not natural
I guess I need to go back on my medication
Doctor's orders!
