Do you hold me in your memory? Or did all the mementos flee Once you no longer heard from me? My intention was not to abandon But joy played elsewhere so I had to run To it; thinking I could leave crumbs To find my way back to you Now you found your path more true And I am just a time you rued I wish you would remember me Even if in the distance like fading drums. A beat begot by the love you lose A rhythm that holds memory That weeps now at what it will next become A trance to track the my next muse

Fading Drums
You, whose shortness of breath matches their shortness of hope I aid abort-less, no death catches where restless love lives Yes, choose heart rest over mess. My chest where you'll find rescue rope Let loose, rip your reasons and reset. I know you are what strength is

I'll Breathe With You
What happens when your desire to play withers? New antics and evils into you slither A network of growing narcissists Where worth is determined through a pose That turns comrades into cannibalists Feigned friendships that keep you on your toes Where character is captured in clothes and not what’s enclosed With a language of muck that does not elevate others but encourages lows What happens when children have no chance at innocence? They don’t have different directions to choose in a sense I don’t want the masses to move like miserable television I want my people to be able to make heartfelt decisions Decisions that shake the earth instead of denizens that can only shake their *** We lose our humanity behind pieces of glass When we should be losing our sanity in fields of grass And what happens if the WiFi expires? Can our ways be rewired? Inducing ideas that inspire? Or will the world finally retire? As we watch it burn down in fire.

Smile for the Camera
Her eyes are sunken And I'm still sinking Into them Treasure I find In my accidents. Drowning feigned Became a beauty faint The call of a friend Are laugh lines that don't lie. And when our grooves meet Does a shining light crack through To place peace between teeth Teaching a tenacity that is true No longer lying loose We grew new notions to never lose And to abnegate abuse Then sunken eyes sought vivid views
