An old poet
I want to write a book, and write poetry books,
But I can't even get the people to take a look.
Nevertheless the comments that feed my soul,
Feed my ego and my appreciation is never so, so.
Sick of growing old when all I want to do is die.
Time to give up on giving up and give it a try.
Will I write a master piece, before I cease,
Or just throw away the piece I tried to write before I decease?
It’s life or death or death or writ.
If it ain’t in me, then I’ll find a lift.
A way to raise my dead corpse once more,

Bicentennial
I want to be a human,
But you will not agree.
Leave me be and set me free.
Give me the independence which you have...
That is all I ask.
Treat me as an equal;
Am I not one of your people?
Am I just a robot, to be forgot?
Should I just be ignored?
I am not just yours.
I am not my own,
I am your creation.
Give my your debris
And I will build a home and find my nation.
I am immortal, so I must watch you die.
Give me a second thought;
Allow me to cry.
I will survive.
I will thrive.
I will upgrade my...

The unknown man in the hat
There’s a man with a hat and long straight hair.
I don’t know who he is, but he’s always there.
Every time I manage to see between the world’s parallel existence.
I don’t know where he came from, but the vision persists.
I saw him long ago.
I’m never really sure.
Now I see him as he follows me,
Whenever I look down at the floor.
He’s a mirage; a fading between the light.
He’s not really there,
But he’s in the corner of my eye.

Uruguay and I'm a Gwirl
I want you to love me, I want you to care.
I want you to promise you’ll always be there.
I’m a man willing to fight for love.
Battlefield is strewn with former hugs.
I’m the one whose name is on all your puns.
Biggest joke in town for sure.
I’m the boy, the Peter Pan head on.
Never grew to like attempts at fun.
I’m the soul never united, moon and sun.
Feel myself coming undone.
I never claimed to be your saving grace.
I never claimed that I mattered.
I never said I’d put a smile on your face.
I’m merely...

DARK POEM

Bone
Under the moonlight I’m searching for your heart.
Another lost soul I need to rip me apart.
I couldn’t help you escape from out of the dark,
So I just left you to break out from where you are.
If I had let you then I’d lose myself in your tune.
My thoughts would run me into a state of ruin,
But I still find you beneath the blue moon,
And all I think about is the blackest of sins, my truth.
I have this mark, which you left upon my heart.
You clawed a piece of me and left a deep red scar.
I have the teeth...
Another lost soul I need to rip me apart.

But I still find you beneath the blue moon,
And all I think about is the blackest of sins, my truth.

I,
Wanna strike a match in your heart if you let me, try,
I, promise I will not stop.
I’ve, got, to give you all that I have had,
In the past, I only ever gave half.
Your heart, my star, has landed, right here.
You near, lift me up, above, my love, my drug,
You’re my everlasting,
Listening, laughing, with you.
Never blue, only if you ask me to,
Will I quit, but never be tragic, ‘cause I know you’re fantastic.
Fantasy, you’re mine, never lying, all true,
Everything comes from you,
Into us, build our love, become my...

All war is unjust
You celebrate your murderers like they won you a war
And what for? Is my question. Do you pass inspection?
No genuflection; no halo you own.
You gun down the innocent and gnaw on their bones,
Like the savages you are, you fallen stars,
Are dead to me. I see such glee.
Oh the pain you reap.
Your just reward, for an unjust war,
For all are…is a silver star on your heart.

Beaten
I tell you the truth, but I digress.
The lies you breathe into me are Heaven sent.
I try to believe but life is stress.
Memories leave me broken and spent.
Bruises heal, I do not.
Give it your all, or it will be gone.
Smack me with lies of hate and betrayal.
I will survive, you will not prevail.
I have been beaten with many words.
The best ones were hers, but there are others less heard.
I chose to believe though they sounded wrong.
You cannot speak of love and criticize the song.
They have lived...

Baby Step's
A life in a bubble ain’t no life at all.
You’ve gotta not be scared of a little fall.
So lift your head little one to the endless call.
Stand up tall, don’t crawl, now walk.
Midnight, dark light, under a sea of lights.
Bright stars, so far, we are temporary in this one life.
Wishes come true when I awake to the sunlight with you.
With your hand in my hand I can find a way through.
Be my reason, to be less resentful.
Lead me forward forever more.
Help me to see I need to be less hateful.
Show me a light I have...

Anita
She is keeping me up tonight.
She’s done this lots of times.
We tell each other we are friends.
We know each other lies.
We’re more than that,
I want her bad, but to be good to me.
I need her love, she could be enough;
Maybe she could make me happy.
I want to grow old with her,
But my existence has become a blur.
I knew her long ago, but I want her to feel like my first.
I want the fear, the excitement, the nervousness of a kiss.
I want to tell her how I feel,
But I don’t know if she is his.
Is she alone? Does she want my...

Love Thyself
Enter Dante, Master of Arts.
It’s a place to start and on to far,
Away I stray and I will never return.
The books are black, the stories yearn,
To be told and cold, for warm is happy.
Life is hard and so is family.
In darkness is where I find myself.
My personal Hell, my place to dwell
And create, but wait, I simmer longer,
If left alone to bubble under.
For on the other hand, I came back stronger
And only at night can I truly plunder.
Dig up the corpse and wear it proud.
Tear off its crown, we’re going...

And create, but wait, I simmer longer,
If left alone to bubble under.
For on the other hand, I came back stronger
And only at night can I truly plunder.
Dig up the corpse and wear it proud.

King of The Devil Blues
I raise my voice to make you hear my cries.
I lift my heart up aiming for your skies.
They won’t believe, but I keep the faith.
They never needed to know my name or see my face.
So I raise my voice up, lift me towards your light.
Lift my heart up, come make everything alright.
I lift my heart up, it’s held as a sacrifice.
You want my soul, then tell me what is it’s price?
You want my blood? Then I’ll lay down my life.
I just want my freedom to write what I know is right.
I want to hold the gold, the oldest payment for your price. ...
