Brutality and The People In Blue
From the time people with brown skin
where put into shackles
there was a massage that the darker color
signified an inferiority
though not beaten to a pulp
I was subjected to excessive
police behavior
a student committed to peaceful protest
"It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen; that is the common right of humanity." - Seneca the Elder
A brother Tyre Nichols, treated worse
than an animal under the guise
of reckless driving but for
which video footage showed that
was not the...

you are all i ever wanted.
There is one lyric in a song I've been listening to nonstop that is so simple, but it sums up my feelings for you perfectly:
"All I want to do is to be with you."
Of course, it's natural that one who loves another would want to be with that person. But, it's all about context, right?
For instance,
Do you know how painful it is to see you laugh and smile so easily with another girl?
Do you know how hard I try to make excuses just to talk to you alone?
Do you know how much I long to sit close to you...

Dreams of Ameline
- Dreams of Ameline -
We met at the library each and every day, for oh so very many years,
And, I helped you with your studies and projects, you always smiled...
When I created works of art for you and your family; you were elated!
Never sad, always smiling, your eyes wide and filled with such light,
As if light might arise from the rich brown of some life-giving soil...
Such were your eyes to me, when in them I wanted to just drift away.
Your skin was dark and beautiful, so lovely in the youth of your life,
And the tresses of your raven black...

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.

Our Orbits Were Too Close
I slouched back down in my seat as I felt the hum of the car's engine beneath my hand. I felt like I had just been slapped across the face. I looked up to see the red, wet streaks on the pavement as the tears began to roll down my face. I opened the windows and turned up the music to cover my feelings so I couldn't think.
I didn't want to think-
I didn't want to feel-
I didn't want to exist-
I didn't want -
The gravity of what I had just said, just typed, was grabbing at my heart strings and de-tuning my life. My truth was slapping me and...

ABOUT THE RAIN
There is something about the rain
it makes you go insane
there is something about the rain
Something dark I can't explain
when you're looking for the day
you see it fall away
as you crumble like a child
you see thru your mind’s middle eye
Hold it in your hand held very high
then crush it and go wild!
There is something about the rain
It makes you go insane
There is something about the rain
Something dark I can't explain
She left you, with no fight
You're in it deep, such a plight
And you cannot...
it makes you go insane
there is something about the rain
Something dark I can't explain
when you're looking for the day
you see it fall away
as you crumble like a child
you see thru your mind’s middle eye
Hold it in your hand held very high
then crush it and go wild!
There is something about the rain
It makes you go insane
There is something about the rain
Something dark I can't explain
She left you, with no fight
You're in it deep, such a plight
And you cannot...

The Soul of Ten-Thousand Wonders
You are someone that I don’t understand. You make fun yet you care, and while that is normal for most people, you have an air about you that is thicker than would appear on first glance.
Hello my Purple-haired King of Everything the Light Touches.
I cannot figure you. I cannot figure you out.
You seem like someone who is very open towards everyone around them and likes to be revealed and not withhold secrets.
However, no one seems to even know you.
You’re an enigma as much as your ideals.
What is your purpose?
I...

Fox In The Field
I'd like to know what is it you do
to show you love me?
What is it you do to make me feel loved?
It's freezing outside
The dog comes in and refuses
to get in his crate.
I speak harshly to him
and he sulks in as I close
the gate behind him.
It's not your fault
you're a damn dog,
it's my fault
that I treat you like one.
The trouble with treating
someone like an old bastard
is they start to act like
an old bastard
to meet expectations.
I sometimes wonder what you see
when you...
to show you love me?
What is it you do to make me feel loved?
It's freezing outside
The dog comes in and refuses
to get in his crate.
I speak harshly to him
and he sulks in as I close
the gate behind him.

that I treat you like one.

Shooting Star Fades
Behest...A Queen awaits...The Bella of the Ball !!! Breath taking, her beauty holds a permanent stare. Foes of fans, green eye glares as jealousy volcanically erupts. She slowly goes inside herself, like a turtle retracting in his shell. So the start of the race begins. Perilous path of self-destruction tearing at her seams. Family or friends dead or far & few between. Cries of an ice storm, Chill winds of high emotions...A maelstrom, a whirlpool of spinning self-abuse. The voyagers of shallow, selfish attire look no farer from the adjunct mask she precisely paints & prepares to wear....

Line in the Sand
A pristine beach in morning light
beautifully promising
I walked in trusting, barefoot
but I was foolish
To think it'd be spared of
footprints from the overeager
litter from the foolish
broken glass from my own hubris
I can't trust anything now
my own eyes
my own mind
my own heart
my own intentions
Or can I?
But should I?
How long can I choose to hope
how many glass shards
lodged into trusting toes? ...
