natural disaster
you’re like a tornado
thrashing about the earth
just like a deadly torpedo
boring deep into the dirt
you’re like a tsunami
crashing in unanticipated
and you aren’t even sorry
for all the waves that you instigated
you’re also like a cyclone
and giving me misdirections
you like leaving my lights on
an intended misconception
then you’re like the rain
cause you’re really killing my day
and if friendships what you feign
then it’s a game I don’t want to play
then whipping just like a hurricane ...

the mesh
welcome to the mesh
the fabric throughout this space
where thoughts are collected
it covers every inch of this place
it spans out and flexes
like a blown up rubber balloon
but it contracts just the same
at least that’s what we assume
but also it’s bending or stretching
all the fine threads of our reality
pulling itself down like wool
creating some sense of duality
no matter how thinly veiled
we all must truly be
even if the fabric weren’t thin
we still would never see
...

hypothetical grievances
what is love
what is adoration
what are all these things
in my transformation
will my eyes adjust
to the fabrication of reality
will my feet grow seasoned
to the sharp edges of humanity
will my arms still reach
for the comfort of your touch
will my eyes lose their shine
when the burden is too much
will my face grow weary
when the pain is too heavy
will the tears still form
to fall when I’m ready
what is grief
what is pain
is it simply not to love
or just to...

soft goodbyes
hey there, you little dreamer
you think you’re such a pretty girl
we all know you’re quite the schemer
trying to escape the crumbling world
dear old time will wear you down
and your shackles will start to rust
all this time you’ve sang a sirens song
but it’s only brought you lust
hey there, you little wildflower
i know you think you have it all
where no mere flower will sprout
you just grow up all the walls
they’ll try to rip out your roots
and try to tear down every vine
you never really...

unlaced
i’m starting to call people up
y’all need to get your asses together
i’m trying to go and hit the pub
just want to be a collector
but they can’t be no scrubs
you’re not too bad a contender
but definitely not worth a hookup
and when we come into the spot
i’m going to be hitting the bar
i’ve got this round, so grab a shot
even if their drinks here are subpar
but if you’re going to be drinking a lot
you had better load up their tip jar
good thing the bartenders can be bought
so slide in the spot right beside me ...

A Stickball Game
The ceremony drums are beating
In a steady thumping stream
You hear their sticks clashing
From each side of the teams
There are screaming children
And there are screaming mothers
The native skin all sheen with sweat
Over the cries of all our brothers
The stickball fans are all tense
As the drums rip through our chest
They’re head to head, toe to toe
And these warriors are the best
The fittest and feral felines
Tanned skin of the southeast
You can find our tribe down here
In the deep...

As the drums rip through our chest
They’re head to head, toe to toe
And these warriors are the best
The fittest and feral felines
Tanned skin of the southeast
You can find our tribe down here

at 5:58 a.m.
so now it seems I’m just like you
all those times I said I stay up too late
i’d never risen with the sun in the mornings
now here I am at fucking 5:58
i’d like to say it’s evening time but
it’s clearly in the early AM
i haven’t had enough coffee
to take the day and slay it
but the sunrise was beautiful today
though I didn’t get much sleep at all
and it’ll more than likely be shitty
at least I can say I chased the dawn
i can’t say I’ll be doing this often
the night was just as fleeting
as...

Fall In Love With A Poet
God, I hope I fall in love with a poet
He’ll write me in his words
They’ll be the most perfect words spoken
Maybe I’ll turn out to be his epic muse
A secret lover between his dark lines
Or a spark that finally lit the fuse
God, I hope I fall in love with a poet
Finding that spark in our conversations
Penning it out, throwing a twist on it
I’d be the silkiness in your satin sheet set
And I’d be the plump and comfy mattress
That is if his writing were the bed

Turning Points of Life
I’m a million different people
All just one day to the next
Somedays I take three things out
All in tandem with my steps
Simultaneously I am living
As I crave to be a creator
I help build online business
I like to be the silent player
I mix and manage my words
And that’s the biggest advantage
Cause I can pour it out on here
As well as projects that I manage
It’s just the endless well
Just begging me to tap into it
I’m finally at that crossroads
Where I might have to split

The Deep
I come here when it gets too loud
There’s just some thoughts you think
That you can’t let come out of your mouth
Somedays though I can't sort the mess
And I just wait for the threads to unravel
I'm just needing to relieve some stress
The words won’t come out but
You guys are out there spitting
It’s one right after the other
Each one is so emotion hitting
It’s great though, I finally feel heard
And not only am I drawing my inspiration
But you guys really get my mind stirred
I’m normally just fucking around...

Jump
Somedays
I think
Just fucking jump
What more harm can it do
I mean
At this rate
What do I even have to lose
I wonder
If I tripped
Over at the edges of the earth
Would I fly
If not
Would I land with my face in the dirt?
I like to think
Maybe I wouldn’t
I’d land with my feet set firmly apart
I could try
Land a trick or two
Maybe I should get a running start
In the wind
A weightless gift
I think I’d be exhilarated with liberation
But if it’s a leap
A jump to my...

deserving
With light feet grazing the velvet earth
The morning sky spotted with wispy clouds
You’ll inhale deep of the rich earth scents
When you’re bowing down to her crown
Standing tall upon a podium of grandeur
Power wafting from her in palpable waves
She exudes an ethereal standard of beauty
Asking what exactly it is you really do crave
Is it true love or true beauty you seek?
Are you power hungry or self serving?
Such grace, a goddess in her own right
Do you really think you’re that deserving?
The morning sky spotted with wispy clouds
You’ll inhale deep of the rich earth scents
When you’re bowing down to her crown
Standing tall upon a podium of grandeur
Power wafting from her in palpable waves
She exudes an ethereal standard of beauty
Asking what exactly it is you really do crave
Is it true love or true beauty you seek?
Are you power hungry or self serving?
Such grace, a goddess in her own right
Do you really think you’re that deserving?
