No Land Mines
I want to go where the war is over
Where people have gone back to their lives
The ones's fought are remembered by statues
So the same mistake won't be brought back to life.
I want to go where war exists only in museums
People reduced to their names
As if being a victim is an accomplishment.
I want to go where laughter echos louder than bombs
Where children play on safe grounds
Where promises made have seen daylight
Where peace has sinked in through generations.
I hope I get there, I hope we all do
Being born into...

Prey
You have gripped my heart with your teeth
Tasted my blood which carries my defeat
Break my bones, suck out the marrow
Consume me as a feast, I'm yours to devour.
Tasted my blood which carries my defeat

Portals
I live through paintings and poems
Those are the books I read
Those are the pages I devour.
I get lost in The Starry Night
Sit quietly in Hopper's houses
Scream with the pope in Frances Bacon
Make my heart warm as I read Whitman;
Find sad parts of myself in Sylvia's poems
Goya reminds me of the dark side of us all.
Bukowski helps me digest bitter realities
Magritte frightens my confusion
Frost gives me words to speak with nature
And Carravagio brings me closer to God.
All the poems I have read, all the...

It never comes
The day is done
While I await
For the morning sun;
It never comes.

Apple
My body is like a ripe apple
It has fallen beneath your feet
Please use me as you please.
It has fallen beneath your feet
Please use me as you please.

A Disconnect
We expose our porcelain whites
To cover the hurt inside
Flash it around the streets
So they know we are free
While we are chained
By a small fee
We expose it with a little help
From alcohol and opiods
Blue screens and amphetamines
They help us put a brave face
That doesn't budge when punched
But inside the soul collects dust
Never to be what it once was
Never to be what it once hoped
Spirit failed to tether flesh and soul
To bring them together; to symbiote
Now the soul sits somewhere
At a...

Rue
Even one step a year is better
Than a lifetime of stagnacy
Nothing worse than regret
That makes you feel death
Of a past you can not change
Now at age sixty
Wishing you had made
That one step of hope
Thinking about where
It would have landed you on
But now you are here
Looking around with a tear
That drops like a domb
From a window that chooses
Not to see Dawn.

A forever child
I was naive to think
Things would be different
But when this time I am in
Rolled around and clocked in
Nothing changed
All things remained the same
I am blinded
Always blinded by a false hope
A hope so false it's an anti-truth
Escape from this, go far and long
There you might find what you have yearned so long
But don't be late when the train leaves for the road
You must be in it or you will be left with all those laws.

There you might find what you have yearned so long

Torn
If you only knew
How I would crumble
If you said those words
If you did those things
To make me yours
But time might dismantle
My senses at hand
To accept a logic
Of choosing another
So that I can start
A life made for the living
To put present on play
Prediction a hard game
I cannot decipher
If this will turn out
Medium rare.

Ribbons
In due time, it will be revealed
Till then, let your eyes focus on
Unwrapping the papers
Of the present that lay
Under your sphere.

Blanket
Will I ever breakout
From the shell of infancy
Got birthed long ago
But rebirth is overdue
My insides cram
Space tightens with every awareness
I need to break free from this dome
Holding me captive
Need to let in the recipes to burn the bars
Need to cut the cord to breathe in oxygen
That day will come God willing soon.

Purple
The silence gives me peace
Helps my mind to stretch
Energy sips in
Recharging the Queen
So the hive can make
A honey so sweet
To feed a system
Able to lead.
Helps my mind to stretch
Energy sips in

A honey so sweet
