The Ghost of You
talking to the ghost of you
in starlight underneath the moon
you're the needles' eye that I slip through
when I'm talking to the ghost of you
I'll never feel any better
if I don't accept that I'll always love you
I never see the man that died
was he just a lie?
you've always been sealed with pride
but I know there's an ocean inside you
when did we drift?
the answer to a question I'll never get
It makes me sick
I reach my fingers out to find an empty bed
I...

my skin is a canvas
since i was born, i drew on it
i always had the utensils to create a masterpiece
since i was born, i knew that.
when i first went to school
they saw how different i was,
my mind and my body,
they didn’t like that
nor the fact that my skin
shone bright in all the colors of the rainbow.
the others may not have all the utensils i had
or didn’t know how to use them
now my pride began to crumble
because everything i liked -
everything i was - was disliked.
fast forward,...

Reflections
Rotten is the mind that thinks of the nice
When pain is the place that leads us to see
And not be blind, in the kind
Of way that we shy and hide
But fight online
And cry in our mum’s house
On the sly and rewind
Back to the man who’s
Outward and kind
For half a week
Until we speak
With a beer and a high five
With a
Miscellaneous man
At a the bar with a tie
And a good suit and a fine
Way of thinking
Fucking why am I
Trying to please these geezer
Who I wouldn’t give the time
In a day to...

Mother
In that house
I see trivial wares in frivolous places
Piles of desires cluttering spaces
Overfilled closets of uncharted dreams
Decaying on the hearth, my shattered esteem
In that house
The emptiness endured; the hollow pride
Unfurnished wisdom; the devil’s chide
Your loathing of me was all to scathing
In your diffidence, I am bathing
In that house
The spoils of childhood wearing too thin
Unhandsome depravity of counterfeit kin
She idolized the...

when it is time to let go.
Are you really doing okay?"
...is what I want to ask her.
Well, she might as well continue to be, anyway.
Because, when you're at work, that's how one should appear--especially to colleagues that you don't speak to outside of the office.
Feelings are only reserved for those that you truly trust, but one's co-workers aren't hired to be friends for life. The primary goal of being co-workers is that you should cooperate to get the job done. To achieve this goal, you must maintain steadfast relationships with them.

Quest
how do we
extract each other
from sprawling communites
from ever-shifting locations
from convenient
but contrived
meeting methods
how do we
drop our defenses
clean our filters
trust fall into optimism
knowing
love
more often than not
leads to hurt
how do we
accept each other's faults
surrender
the promised land
of 'normal'
know
for sure
what's okay
and what really
is not okay
how do we get to know
all of each other ...

My Past Haunts Me
And I don't know why I can't get passed my past
I know that I'm blessed and i'm proud of that
I don't see a fucking thing that's higher than that
And if I die before I wake I pray that I'm free at last
And I'm just lookin at the world through my rear view mirror
I'm a little older
Life’s a little clearer
I was young but I knew that you could make it better
I think back to the days when I was way worse
Now I realize that pain could never get worse
And I was blessed with a curse
I had to get hurt

Boo
There are more than a few of you trying to blame my Boo
You think that we're no longer one because of my Boo
What you don't realize is that some of the poetry is true
That it was I Is Me that wouldn't allow Mentality to come through
She fucking loved me hard giving all of herself
A young ass fucking flame burning down til there was nothing left
She knows that after a million fucking years, and a million fucking tears
Although her love for me is true, she really couldn't stay right here
But still my Boo showed patience that went beyond the...

The End
Have you ever thought
I just don't care?
Asking yourself
why?
Why feel all the pain,
all the sadness,
living in this bitter refrain?
And then you just stop,
stop caring,
about anything,
and everything,
including your life
You think of ways
for death to mean something,
planning how to make them pay
Seeking revenge
for self inflicted pain,
thinking in one final act
that your...

Give Me Sadness
give me sadness
and give me pain
for I will grow through grief
and transform sadness into rain
I will laugh as the earth is renewed
cherishing this bittersweet mood
weeping in mirth
and laughing in agony
I am finally alive
my spirit revived
I...

There I Go
I know you will never love me
It is written all over your face, your eyes…even the words that resides between the lines that circulate within the inside of your jaws
Yet here you are, there you go
I write these letters as reminders to myself
Reminders of when I thought and knew something was there
That at some point a spark was there but was too premature to flare up
How stupid was I to believe that, that caged bird was really trapped
When in actuality it was too afraid to take flight
I wish that I could make this shit up
I wish that our paths...

Many different strokes
Ive been told
by some I'm a rambler,
To many I'm known
a weary eyed
wanderlusting traveller,
and by a few others
I was lucky enough
to be called their brother
Ive spent my life
as a firm believer,
Of enjoying my time
as an easy
peaceful dreamer...
Always Looking to the stars
for the light to guide my heart
And help me On my way,
With the faith and love
to lean on
i never have
too far to stray.
