Demi is a Warrior
You say you are a warrior and got thicker skin
While some say you may be done and finished
Forever but then you have risen from the ashes,
Reappearing from the smoke like a skyscraper.
After so many burns, car collisions and crashes
You show strength. You are far from being paper
Or razor thin when you show that a strong storm
Can never knock you down. Let us all normalize
Bruises and scars because they tell us a story not
Because they show your weaknesses. You keep
Using your voice to speak up as you always fought
Your...

I AM HERE FOR YOU
I know that there are moments when you feel lost and confuse and alone, but you are not alone within your struggles for I am here for you through thick and thin as your man. I know that in those quiet times you wonder if I truly love you unconditionally, but you see I let my actions speak louder than my words for you to see the bare truth of my heart and soul. I know when I look at you through my own set of eyes, I see you as a ray of sunshine that has brighten up my soul. For I know we have been and gone through so much within this cycle known as life, but yet it is those things that we go...

You're not broken.
You're not broken, you're the cresting of waves, the motion of oceans. You're full of beauty the magic of potions. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for, to tell yourself you're broken, don't accept or believe that no more. You are the moon and stars, a wonderful universe to explore. For you love will endure, because it's you it adores. You are a Queen upon your throne, a knight well appear beside you. So you won't fight your battle alone. He well stay at your side no matter, what you're facing or going through, because loving and caring for you will be a easy thing for...

「私」の真実は、
ぼんやりしたただの想像が
間に挟まっていたとしても、変わらない。
憧憬から、言いがかり、不思議な蘇り、それらを共にしていた。 ...

Sexual "Preference" vs "Orientation"
Recently President Trump nominated judge Amy Barrett for the Supreme Court.
During the confirmation hearings some Democrat senator objected to Amy Barrett's use of "preference" as opposed to orientation. These Dems (or else it was a media spokesman) are determined to get everyone to say "orientation" and drop the use of "preference." Why is that? Because preference implies you voluntarily choose to engage in same sex acts.You're not forced to. Whereas orientation is used as a code word for a lack of choice: there 's no alternative. You are forced by your genes, driven to unite with same...

Van Halen
with apologies to Edgar Alan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary
Wearing my ear buds
Tired and weary
While nodding, nearly napping
There came a tapping
A tap, tap, tapping on his fret
The tune, I didn't know, but it was a good bet
That Eddie was on the stage
A God, like Hendricks, or Clapton, or Page
The crowd erupted in applause
It was that tap, tap, tapping that was the cause
A chant rose up from the floor
They yelled, "Eddie, forevermore"
"Eddie, forevermore"
Somewhere on a stage in the clouds

Stars
Constellations were swirling with each breath taken like fireworks but stars were part of the permanent fixture for sky and the moon lit a path down the canal of darkness- a dance with the possibilities of oceanic utterances sharing a single tide; I was vastly becoming me.

being questioned as a poet
i been struggling with this
it seems when I do post my poems I get asked what kind of poet am i
i honestly do not know I'm still figuring out who I am
I don't know a lot of poets or writers
my favorite writer and poet is Edgar Allen Poe
even with that, I questioned how much of a fan I am
honestly haven't read everything that he wrote
what I have read I loved
I don't know if this is weird
he's the first poet I ever head of
the reason why I love poetry in the first place
I hope to someday be great as he was

a fluff of life
A fluff of life
He sensed something on the window ledge
it was an insect of the summer past
its hue was grey totally exhausted it could not fly anymore.
He took it inside. put it under the lamp
slowly its colours appeared it moved dreamy wings,
a residue of spring.
He said I like to call you a rainbow.
He left the light on when leaving the room
The Rainbow had tried so hard.
In the morning the battle was over
a piece of fluff the draft from the open door blew away.

Fidelio
Proem:
Cannot hold you back
Loathe to let you go
Throw your violent hips
Bucking to and fro
On your stony shoals
Siren sinking ships
Spell apocalypse
With your fingertips
..
First Act:
All Things Pass Through Midnight
With Trepidatious Strides,
Rain glides down the paned
Glass, liquid
Light,
Pooled
Into each
Drop, beneath it’s
Tensile
Skin,
Touching opaquely
Into various shades ...

Eulogy For the Best Dad
My dads an army guy
He’s a tough love kind of guy
He's an early riser type of guy.
Sit you at the kitchen table
Before school to get your
Daily dose of fruit kind of guy.
He’s the guy that drove you to
and from school to only become your gym teacher.
My life has been made up of long walks and I owe it to him.
Any time of year you’ll see me with a cup of coffee
and that’s all because of him.
Coffee, long walks, always led to hours of talk of school, boys, and future plans.
He set the standard for showing me how a guy...
