This Heart
I’ve tried everything
It just won’t listen
It won’t harden
It won’t stop
Longing for ____
It just sits there
On my sleeve
Beating wildly
Disobeying
Bursting with joy
Then dripping
And destroyed
I’d like to cut it out
But then me
And the
Cowardly Lion
Would just be twins
Searching the world
To get it back
It just won’t listen
It won’t harden
It won’t stop
Longing for ____
It just sits there
On my sleeve
Beating wildly
Disobeying
Bursting with joy
Then dripping
And destroyed
I’d like to cut it out
But then me
And the
Cowardly Lion
Would just be twins
Searching the world
To get it back

OLD WRITING TRUTHS NEEDED TODAY
NOTES
As I was going through old files,
papers, and notes from college days
I came across a graduate course
folder with the following writing tips.
1. Don't try to guess what people want to hear
from you; first, figure out what you have to say.
2. Rejection is a sure sign you are a serious writer.
3. Original thoughts flow quickly; borrowed ones don't.
4. Writing can, and does, take place at any time or place.
5. Few critics are on the Bestseller List.
6. You can't write effectively out of ignorance.
7. The first quality of a...

Cruising The Death of Time
There is a desolate highway
that cuts through
my mind's haunting pines.
A scull and crossbone
on the exit sign.
Through rugged terrain
of yesterday's.
Counting the monotonous lines.
Driving back
through the death of time.
Cruising to days
you perished being mine.
Back to you holding my hand,
absolutely inconceivable,
you would ever let go.
It's heart tugging to visit
those memories now,
the heart still gives,
a phantom swell.
I drove back
and parked in tomorrow.
Into the deep...

I Loved A Man
Who was proven unworthy
Filled with such undeniable fury
Who cast me in a mother's role
To which I had so deplored
So he stood there all undressed
Not giving thought to all he kissed her
As though she was nothing but a whore
He made his hand into a fist, shaking it in defiance
Wasn't a lover that he sought
For all the love that he has not
Never crossing his t's or ending
His i's with a dot
I loved a man whose love was fraught
So filled with anger and evil thoughts
...

cut
desire burns inside my ache
to be what you crave
it hunts my heart
I hear your no
go no further
I cringe, biting leather, gagging
I play with my hair pushing off the sting of rejection
it pulls me under the surface where I drown
deep inside of pools of sorrow
why do I keen?
when your heart belongs to the women made of stone
perfect to gaze upon
cutthroat
to be what you crave
it hunts my heart
I hear your no
go no further
I cringe, biting leather, gagging
I play with my hair pushing off the sting of rejection
it pulls me under the surface where I drown
deep inside of pools of sorrow
why do I keen?
when your heart belongs to the women made of stone
perfect to gaze upon

Beggar’s Prayer
i was wailing for you
in my car that day
that promised fate
all day and night long
driving around lost
bawling along to a
hymn of broken hearts
by emiliana torrini
desire echoed infinity
my beggar’s prayer
was a singing bowl
overflowing with emotion
grasping at hope
i never knew love
could hurt so damn much
aching for you but
you were out of reach
so close yet far, i was
alone in the dark
driving around lost
wearing weight on my soul
in my car that day
that promised fate
all day and night long
driving around lost
bawling along to a
hymn of broken hearts
by emiliana torrini
desire echoed infinity
my beggar’s prayer
was a singing bowl
overflowing with emotion
grasping at hope
i never knew love
could hurt so damn much
aching for you but
you were out of reach
so close yet far, i was
alone in the dark
driving around lost
wearing weight on my soul

Numb
I believed in every word that you said.
Every syllable,
Every letter went straight to my head.
To my soul.
To my heart.
It was laced with lies.
Hidden behind sweet kisses,
Long goodbyes.
It left no visible trace.
Like strychnine on lace.
When eyes met.
(not mine)
When hands touched.
(not mine)
When lips collided.
(NOT MINE)
What could I do?
What could I say?
Could not move.
Didn’t want...

i want to
translate
my poems
into
her native
tongue,
i don't
want any
misunderstandings
about
my thoughts,
my intentions,
how each word
is love,
each word
dedicating
themselves
with smiles
she will
accept.

A Million Quills
When my heart broke I felt a deep seeded need to bleed
So my veins supplied the ink to write a verse
Through a million quills I dropped notions onto the page
With all the rage my soul could roar saying, this hurts
But it wasn’t enough, I wanted to dye and delve even further
Deeper into the colors of emotion and the far unknown
To paint the pain with texts and flames to somehow explain
Why I was torn at the core when I could feel it in my bones
So I travelled through what must’ve been a thousand years
Explored worlds and realms that...

Syllabus
I deny nothing—
which fills me
with experience:
Love, hate, jealousy
greed, gluttony, lust—
murderous thoughts;
suicide, shame, surrender
I welcome those that come

realize I'm learning—
so heed their syllabus

Burning Light
My Light burns with
desire to find the woman
who makes your heart beat
for her and who
challenges me to
become a better
version of myself
Once we find each other
we push each other
to become better
versions of ourselves
we support each other
we help each other
we will love
each other
for the rest of our lives
desire to find the woman
who makes your heart beat
for her and who
challenges me to
become a better
version of myself
Once we find each other
we push each other
to become better
versions of ourselves
we support each other
we help each other
we will love
each other
