Worry.
Sitting in silence enjoying the banter in my head.
Suddenly disturbed from an all to familiar source.
The phone rings; disturbing news.
Panic sets in and I can't beat it back.
What if... What if... What if...
Hands shaking, unable to steady.
Mind racing, never in the lead.
Stomach pit; interjects nausea.
Once banter, now jibberish.
Nervous tension; chaos in my head.
Words/speech come to mind unregulated.
Punctuated non-particularly.
Scared for welfare.
Worried for others.
Far away. ...

Conflict
The ground looked like dirt-caked steel,
Waves clashed with an earthquake feel,
They formed and broke without an end,
Neither should, could, would ever mend,
The essence of war raged deep inside,
None of them were able to hide,
Fighting death to bloody fate,
Evading the torpid grip of hate,
Everyone scared, his mind marked with evil,
Sides surging in this violent upheaval,
Hearts overflowing with animosity,
Minds with no place for generosity,
—only hate,
Broken blades fly through the air,
Reflecting the...

Blue Diamonds
Blue Diamonds
---------------------------------------------------------
I stare into your eyes,
My mouth searching for words,
I'm uncertain how to phrase,
What I need to tell you.
I see behind your blue hued lenses,
Something special, a spark of life,
That thing that I have never seen before,
I'm lost for the breifest of seconds.
I stare on, awkward as I choke,
On words gone unsaid,
Fighting, willing myself,
To speak, but my mouth is frozen.
I let it sink into an awkward smile,
Resigning my words to silence,...

Tormented Youth
You think you know pain and suffering,
You “tormented youth,” you.
Strive hard to show your indifference,
Cherish individuality,
Seek acceptance through ostracism.
You want tormented?
Look to the inner-city.
People grow up surrounded by violence,
If they see the age of 21 they're “lucky”.
Yet, you say you have it so “hard”?
Mommy and daddy made things EASY for you,
Always clothed,
Always watered,
Always fed,
Always with a roof over your head.
Difficult,
Hard,
Complex,
Tormented,

Stitches
Stitches--a great idea.
Where once was a wound, now is sealed. The pieces of flesh joined by a needle and thread. Sinewy laces stretch the gap and seal the hole. Where once was a wound, is now a whole--the damage mended. Where once was a wound, the two halves are unified in strength.
As with all things mended, the joined flesh grows back to a perfect delicate scar. A memory of what once was, reminding us of the event which brought us to harm--a perfect memory. A history of things that happened, now a reminder of what is to come.
The pain emblazoned upon...
