Letter to my brain
You linger in redundancy,
Repetitious darkened cycles.
The outside world makes fun of me
Leaving me with vacant smiles.
I’ve let you dwell in awful places,
Why must you obsess ?
The same old pain in different faces,
Leading to a bigger mess.
I’ve tried to drown you into silence,
With substances and lust.
What remains is our alliance,
But you have drained my trust.
Repetitious darkened cycles.
The outside world makes fun of me
Leaving me with vacant smiles.
I’ve let you dwell in awful places,
Why must you obsess ?
The same old pain in different faces,
Leading to a bigger mess.
I’ve tried to drown you into silence,
With substances and lust.
What remains is our alliance,
But you have drained my trust.

End Covid-19
Crashing our economy, altering history.
Thickening sovereignty , controlling our liberty .
Thousands infected ,
The death toll is climbing .
Distraction perfected ,
What impeccable timing.
Highly contagious ,
A global pandemic .
I bet you feel famous,
Let’s all thank the chemist.
No ones immune,
Shelves are all bare.
Completely consumed,
Panic rips through the air.
A state of emergency,
Families torn apart.
Praying for normalcy,
This is all so bizarre.

Your love is..
Your love is like a song, a sneeze, a yawn.
It is my first, my last, my best.
The sun, the moon, the stars,
It is acing the hardest test.
Your love is rare, is kind, is pure.
A diamond so Devine.
It is always being sure,
That we will always shine.
Your love is hypnotic,
It takes me on a journey.
So far from chaotic,
Away from all my worries.
Your love is a gift,
Wrapped in pretty paper.
A long awaited kiss,
A taste I’ll always savor.
Your love is sweet red wine,
Warming up my face. ...

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

Be the ocean
In a world so predictable,
present yourself as the sea.
Uncharted and invisible
as the creatures underneath.
Be a depth that is foreign,
craving to be discovered.
Cradle sunrise in the mornings,
reflecting all the colors.
Bring joy with every wave,
wash away all inner troubles.
An escape that someone craves,
take the weight right off their struggles.
Leave beauty on the shore,
provide them new adventures.
Leave them wanting more,
a lead to buried treasure.
Never pull them down,
Let...
present yourself as the sea.
Uncharted and invisible
as the creatures underneath.
Be a depth that is foreign,
craving to be discovered.
Cradle sunrise in the mornings,
reflecting all the colors.
Bring joy with every wave,
wash away all inner troubles.
An escape that someone craves,
take the weight right off their struggles.
Leave beauty on the shore,
provide them new adventures.
Leave them wanting more,
a lead to buried treasure.
Never pull them down,

Shattered windows
My demons unforgiving,
The angels cower down.
My thoughts are always spinning,
They pull me to the ground.
My heart just wants to love,
My mind still wants me dead.
I have to rise above
Before I disappear instead.
It seems I am the enemy,
Coexisting with the hero.
My own body is against me,
I peer through shattered windows.
Regret in ever crevice,
Someone help me with the glass?
This life of mine is precious,
Don’t mix the present with the past.
The angels cower down.
My thoughts are always spinning,
They pull me to the ground.
My heart just wants to love,
My mind still wants me dead.
I have to rise above
Before I disappear instead.
It seems I am the enemy,
Coexisting with the hero.
My own body is against me,
I peer through shattered windows.
Regret in ever crevice,
Someone help me with the glass?
This life of mine is precious,
Don’t mix the present with the past.

Stay
Stay although I may seem needy,
Baby I may just be this weak.
I know at times I can be greedy,
But here's a promise I can keep.
You will not lay your head to rest
without the knowledge of my love.
I'd take a bullet without a vest,
if the push ever came to shove.
You are my heart,
there's no pretending.
Here's a start,
My happy ending.
Baby I may just be this weak.
I know at times I can be greedy,
But here's a promise I can keep.
You will not lay your head to rest

Effective
Minding my business, while my minds minding me.
Tonight I am my only witness, fighting this thing inside of me.
Sorrow, depression, internal deception.
Outward aggression , a hateful expression.
Discreet enough to not turn heads,
But loud enough that I lose sleep.
I toss and turn inside my bed,
counting lies instead of sheep.
My thoughts dominating,
they pin me down and pull within.
I don't enjoy the congregating,
Here we fucking go again.
Filter wanted, sift it out.
I am haunted with all this doubt.
Too much idle time...

Targeted
This anger, it builds and rises internally.
This pressure it fills, it's visit concerning me.
My strength has diminished, and weakens my cause.
I won't act till it's finished, i'll prove it as false.
My peace has been tainted, I yearn to explode,
this picture you've painted is not what I own.
How do I contain it, how much do you see?
I cannot explain it, but it's targeted me.
This pressure it fills, it's visit concerning me.
My strength has diminished, and weakens my cause.
I won't act till it's finished, i'll prove it as false.
My peace has been tainted, I yearn to explode,
this picture you've painted is not what I own.
How do I contain it, how much do you see?
I cannot explain it, but it's targeted me.

Just enough to make you stay
In the wreckage of my past
I’ve made a thousand plus mistakes.
My very soul was drowning fast ,
Then saved by your embrace .
Just look around and you will find
Every piece of imperfection.
But with a woman of your kind
I’ve learned to love my own reflection.
Your support is never ending,
Warm enough to help me win.
All the others condescending,
They wouldn’t even let me in.
I love you more beneath the surface ,
A little more with every day.
Now I see that I’m not worthless,
Just enough to make you stay.
I’ve made a thousand plus mistakes.
My very soul was drowning fast ,
Then saved by your embrace .
Just look around and you will find
Every piece of imperfection.
But with a woman of your kind
I’ve learned to love my own reflection.
Your support is never ending,
Warm enough to help me win.
All the others condescending,
They wouldn’t even let me in.
I love you more beneath the surface ,
A little more with every day.
Now I see that I’m not worthless,
Just enough to make you stay.

keep it
You're beautiful in every way
from your head down to your toes.
So I thank God every single day
that I'm the one you chose.
Nothing seems to really matter
when we're all tangled up.
This love sure came so much faster,
girl you filled up my cup.
My mind cannot grasp it,
words cannot reach it.
Nothing could ever match it,
Lord please help me keep it.
from your head down to your toes.

How high
I cannot imagine another love such as this, one which exposes the true version of myself, unfiltered. All things connect when we're together, like the stars we align, and you shine the brightest. My north star, my every day, you kill the pain, it fades away. I hear you in songs and the lyrics wrap around me like your arms do at night. You kiss my neck and I forget my own name; after all this time you still have that effect on me. Our love is out of this world and it's not ready for us. Some people are in stuck relationships, while we make each other grow. Some are in toxic relationships and...

Lovely components
I thought, " A thousand forevers isn't quite enough
To feel her light and drink her love.
This thought lingers as our fingers intertwine,
last minute believers, it's finally our time.
A whole lot of waiting had to be done,
and even some breaking to mold us as one.
It seems I missed her before I knew her,
I can't forget her as part of my future.
She holds the power to break me,
and a heart that can make me.
All these empty lines are just waiting
to be filled with words she gives birth to,
each one instilled and unguarded with...
To feel her light and drink her love.
