Be a fan by pressing "FAVORITE" in my biography page! / / First off, I recommend you read "A Read Between The Lines", "The Noose", "Satin Red Memory", "My Apologies, Beloved", "serenade of love", "Star Lily", "me & You" and "The Giving Tree Is Me" in my poem list. I am more of a thinker than a talker. I conjure up secure, rational, realistic, logical opinions about life. About my life- and I try to accept as much as I can. I give everyone a chance, I try not to judge even though hypocrisy is inevitable. We are only human, but if we have enough will-power, we could change into whatever we wish to be. / / Please visit my blog: http://writersblock-decemberdreams87.blogspot.com/, / My poetry is for the exploration of poetry and to influence writers to dig deep for their passion. Dedicated to unknown talented writers who may think they don't have what it takes. Write a blog and expand your work. Believe in your heart and trust what comes to mind.
Out of the deep
Depths of darkness,
We crawl from the
Evil that taunts us.
The struggles and strife
That life leans upon us-
Frantic and determined,
We are naked and harmless.
Evil might be convinced to believe
That we are weak in the knees,
It's up to me to succeed in life
Even without the wings of Achilles.
Forever give me power
As bright red as fire,
To be the best I can be
As this evil surrounds me.

Barbed wire crime
Tongue tied mind
Dignity is diminished
The future executed

Her laughter suspenseful,
a shivering tale of discomfort
turmoil and bleeding mascara.
She denounces her faults
and erases our friendship;
I retract my statement
of trustworthy companionship.
Her developed state of maturity-
lack thereof existing,
she exploited
my love,
my patience;
and victimized my dedication.
I really
believed
she could handle my passion,
when all I wanted
was an everlasting love.
A heart stopping contraction.

Lord
I am becoming a dangerous man...
I cannot breathe your light,
I do not know where I stand.
It is not like I needed to ask permission
to live or believe in your religion;
the one I was raised with.
Lord
I betrayed myself with a weary prayer.
I yearned for remission.
I was haunted by a guilty conscience, filled with monsters;
was not ever warned that it was all just nonsense!
Lord I am confident.
I cannot include you with the decisions I make,
By myself I will learn from my own mistakes.
No longer can I pray that my wishes come true,
I believe in myself more than I believe in you.
Amen.

Ready to fly
for the second time
Far away for many days
To breathe in a new place.
Where will I end up along the way?
I haven't a clue; neither will you.
I sit and wait
For the time to escape
Making conversation with a dude
All tattooed
But enough is enough,
I'd like to nap before the flight comes.
The sun peaks through
Enlightening the people's view
Justifying the hope and
Safety of our travel plans.
Just a few more hours
I'll get where in goin,
and never look back.

a girl with
a personality,
expensive taste,
soft skin and an honest embrace...
that is what I want.
Honestly,
honesty is a rare trait these days,
in a world of animosity,
all seem phony all betray.
As I escape my fate
I become my own face-
society around me
is different from me,
identically.
As the day begins to fade,
my work is done; a drink, I say!
A drink I'll have in Gonzo's Pub
to escape the people's fray.
A Girl...
with honesty
that is what I want...
I'll take another shot please...

I hope there is a light beyond the darkness
that suffocates a confidence I used to believe in.
A hopeful feeling of salvation that used to be...
whole .
She burns through my vacant heart,
a pinhole charm, causing harm
upon my constant forgiveness.
I ignore I wait I beg I stay;
I fight with passion and bathe in my own pain.
I drown in my forgiveness
contemplate my regrets.
I am forced to forget her words
I have forgiven once before.
But I cannot ignore
my swollen wound is infected
burning with ignorance;
what appreciation?!
there is no turning back
now there is no sign of light,
I am not sure if I can forgive-
in the name of passion, I lose the fight,
laying dead in the choke of night.

A soft smooth motion
across the skin of your feet-
A peaceful touch of grace
that strokes the knots and
relieves the strain.
The stressful day complete,
no bickering or complaints.
This calm, this quiet
must remain for the sake of our brains
You must realize,
It's the end of the day-
You're safely at home
And everything is okay.

*I really care about you.
I appreciate everything
you have done for me.
I cannot wait to see you,
for these days are drifting slowly
through a blinding haze.
I do not know where I am going
and I cannot wait
to hold you in my arms as we lead each other,
and I will not be alone.
So I hope to God you never leave;
you are every stitch upon my sleeve
that securely guards my skin.
Every time you come home,
I am reborn, I chant, yes I can.
I am vulnerable
weak at the knees,
though you make me
a stronger man*

I look outside and wonder
when will time fly faster,
(only when I want it to, of course)
so I can be released from this cage
and roam free across the plain of grass
that gives me surface from the gravity
that in and of itself keeps me grounded
because without it I would be lost
and floating without direction;
out of this world and into a place
that welcomes my existence
with dark open arms
but terminates my life
and suffocates my breathing calm
because oxygen is absent
and breathing is a healthy habit,
so I must relax and take a breath
to get through this day of madness.
