A Poet Never Sleeps

One day you will be faced with the impossible. When you become afraid, become inspired.

Dare I Disturb The Universe

For the first time in forever

The universe rests in my palms

Destroyed with a swift tip

 

Supreme power courses through my veins

Rendering others powerless

Helpless victims to my will

 

No great pain would I receive

No lasting problems would occur

Yet I will refrain

Even the White Dove Has More Personality


So many pine for loves embrace

Changing their soul in desperation

Carving themselves to fit the mold

 

Their only passion, society’s

Saying, thinking, only what they ought

Uniquely black and white

 

No

 

You must live to love life

For who can cherish a blank wall

It is life who throws the paint

Her Fate Dangles Before Our Eyes


Her Dangles Fate Before Our Eyes

 

Behind Opaque glass

The future sits

O how I hunger for it

 

Its outline blurred by doubt

Chained back by the present

My fingers barely skim the surface

 

Weak with want

Craving the taste upon my lips

An obsessive passion

 

Everyone desires the caress of this cruel mistress

Cheating life for her embrace

Only to have her slip through outstretched fingers

 

 

To Grow Into Something More

How is a fire to burn

Without fuel

A spark doomed to die

 

Never be the smartest man in the room

For you stand in the wrong place

A spark doomed to die

 

Trapped in an empty tomb

A blank canvas without paint

A spark doomed to die

 

Eventually a brilliant mind wilts

If kept from stirring force

Or Drown In The Process


 

Blow after blow after blow

Draining away my smile

With each hit

The basin runs dry

 

Roll with the punches

Or they will knock you down

As you writhe upon the ground

It will come back with swift kicks

 

Only when you cry out

Do others take notice

Sneering at your weakness

Scared to admit that they harbor their own

 

Life continues to move on

Rushing by increasingly fast

So you must stand again

Yet Still I Crumble


Only here I’d reveal my truths

The honest outpouring of my subconscious

Things I’d never voice

Come to life in ink

 

One hope I unknowing clang to

Now crushed underfoot by reality

The horrors of my bind, blessing in time

He hands me the final blow

 

As I dreamed of my perfect bubble

Pained lunged in from behind

Destroying the final glimmer of hope

All this I must bear in silence

 

I step up to embrace the victor

Not her choice to my demise

Zuit Suit


Rock step

Triple step

Step step

Triple step

Rock step

Ending where we began

 

In this dance we pull together

And back apart

Quickly spinning about

In time to a beating heart

Closer and closer

Only to fall again

 

Sometimes we hold the wrong hand

Just tapping as we twist

Others we kick in step

I trust that you will catch me

Ducking under and swirling into open arms
