Poet Introduction
Introduce myself as a poet...? Well, I write from the heart. I write about things that effect my everyday life. I always welcome honest critique, in face I encourage it. I love poetry. Nobody knows I write, it's my little secret:)

Window
Awe arouses as my eyes gaze over this picture.
Youth may be my downside,
but my perspective has always been at large.
Staring in disbelief at this distorted masterpiece.
Artful grasping a valueless, darkened world.
Morals escape from every character.
Running with haste to escape their confining frame.
Lack of respect is painted to be just.
The calamity is there for the insightful to see.
All I can think is what invaded this artist's mind?
What can cause one to invent a world this sick?
Skillfully introducing a sense of proportion.
Something only...

Promise
Sweetness is something you never lack.
Always there to keep me intact.
Right there to make sure I'm strong.
Always there to keep me going along.
Humming away; feeling alive.
Being happy is how you strive.
Every time I start to feel down.
You find a way to turn me around.
Swirling emotions swim through my head.
Those many emotions beginning to spread.
Exactly the person I need to stay.
Rough patches or not; promise you'll never go away?
Always there to keep me intact.
Right there to make sure I'm strong.
Always there to keep me going along.
Humming away; feeling alive.

Future
The future is a fickle occurrence.
Never does one know where it'll lead.
Certainly no map for one to read.
Your final residence can be a surprise.
No way of telling where you'll lie.
In a world controlled by money and greed...
There's no way of telling if you'll have what you need.
As time slips by you're loved ones die...
No way to tell the ascension order into the sky.
The people around will come and go.
As I said before, the future you cannot know.
This being the way of life...
Why then is mine surrounded by...

Love to My Love
Weeks crawl by.
The time plagues my mind.
The lost of a best friend.
This security seems pretend.
My best friend forever.
My lie; completely severs.
A bond between two to make one.
First chance to take; made sure to run.
Our future is not one of your favorite fairy tales.
I had to leave; had to change scales.
Around the same mountain you proceeded to lead.
Blindly following; oblivious to my bleed.
Even though the choice was hard,
no doubt there.
It came down to life or death,
I still care.
Even though my soul mate...

Incredulous Indecorous
Been called part of an incredulously indecorous generation.
Been told I'm part of an atrocious arbitration.
Been called a malevolent monstrosity.
Told I'm part of the callused catastrophe.
Words from the jaundice jury.
Verdict of the bigot bucolic.
Statements of the robust righteous.
Damnation from the prevalent Pontius.
Characterised by hopeless hymns.
From the notorious nymphs.
I'll always be the courteous calamity.
Always enjoy my inflamed insanity.
Nothing will change my morbid malice.
Laughter will cover my lucid love.
Distorted...

Unstable Balance
Thoughts swirling.
Crashing like a Pacific wave against the shore.
Fears protruding.
Exploding like an Hawaiian volcano in the air.
Reality distorting.
Clouding like a fog covering a valley's field.
Heart longing.
Begging like a vagabond for a warm meal.
Body shivering.
Freezing down through my bones to my soul.
Head spinning.
Twirling like a horse on a never ending carousel.
Soul wondering.
Pondering like a philosophical genius.
Morals shaken.
Jumping like a boy exposed to his weakness.
Faith leaving. ...

Strolling Within Myself
A sense of emptiness implodes from within.
Fear suffocates my lungs.
Darkness moves in like a stalking predator.
And alone I am again.
Lost from any sense of direction.
Every star seems to point north.
Which way do I go to find my way?
Why do the chills begin to consume?
Ghostly owls hoot from the abyss.
A sound that makes even the ghosts nervous.
The skeletons from my closet emerge to light.
Finally, judgement has taken my number.
Time crawls as if the hourglass were clogged.
Still I'm aware it's time to answer for all my sins.
I stare...

They All Tell Me
I feel alone.
How can I not?
Everyone says they care about my future,
but yet they won't help me strive.
They say I need to let it go,
but how can you change into something you don't know?
They tell me to get back to myself,
but myself is all I am.
They tell me I'm going to throw it all away,
yet I feel like I just did.
How is it that a substance can make things so blurry?
Is it possible to really change your reality so much?
My perspective doesn't seem any different to me,
yet they tell me I'm so much better clean.

Digging Up A Chance
I stroll through the cold, moist grass.
Night looming overhead.
Going to my hidden grave.
The grave within myself.
I walk past the lonely, old tombstones.
Afterlife consuming the air.
Time to start the task I planned.
Time to start undigging my only chance.
Arriving to my haunted, diluted resting place.
Digging the only chance to walk out alive.
Walk away complete survived.
Dig away the ageless dirt.
And search for my casket of hope.
Shoveling away all the excess remains.
Searching for the dreams I buried within myself.
Night looming overhead.
Going to my hidden grave.
The grave within myself.
I walk past the lonely, old tombstones.
Afterlife consuming the air.
Time to start the task I planned.
Time to start undigging my only chance.
Arriving to my haunted, diluted resting place.
Digging the only chance to walk out alive.
Walk away complete survived.
Dig away the ageless dirt.
And search for my casket of hope.
Shoveling away all the excess remains.
Searching for the dreams I buried within myself.

Struggling in New Skin
Seeming to be stuck here.
Right here.
In this new, yet traditional place.
In a new skin, showing a new face.
Common sense screams this is right.
Still my heart whispers to walk away from the light.
Walk away and crawl back inside.
It's so seductive. You're mine.
Ignoring the voice is becoming hard.
Everyday exhausted from my latest spar.
For something so right and pure.
It sure does suck not feeling you anymore.
Since my absence began...
Eating and sleeping has become a scam.
Everyone tells me this new page needs to turn.

Lasts of Nights
I lay here motionless against time.
Thoughts intrude my fearsome mind.
The desire to feel victimed continues fight.
But the fault is mine alone...
I stand still like a hunter.
Stalking the immediate future with thought.
Weary of the beast who dwells around the corner.
Confrontation reserved the time.
Nervousness floods my inner core.
The hourglass seems to be donating it's sand.
How much longer until the safety folds?
When will the sickness take it's hold?
Now with my peace compromised...
And no obvious way to undermine......

Damn Right I Believe
I remember a time,
when I was lost beyond find.
I remember a time,
when the world appeared to be mine.
Strung out and high.
Lost and blind.
Without the truth in my sight,
refusing to believe...I'd fight.
Fight everything.
And fight everyone.
Then BAM! You reached down and said "hello my Son."
Screaming down the highway at 85.
No seatbelt or consciousness about to dive.
Dive right into the median ahead.
Drive there, find myself dead.
All of a sudden a light appeared,
goosebumps down my arm and pure fear.
My eyes were...
when I was lost beyond find.
I remember a time,
when the world appeared to be mine.
Strung out and high.
Lost and blind.
