American I create more prose than poetry, but I'm in love with admiring poetry.
as we hurtle through deep open space, at a resoundingly dangerous fast pace. dependent upon wings we've never had, relishing the good, and suffering the bad. We, are composed of seven octillion atoms, walking this earth in God's universal patterns. spawned from womb, and bound for the tomb, moving through life, as we walk through rooms.

People can be stupid Foolish You don't use love to save yourself But you don't save yourself alone You live and you love You have to grab life by the horns That's how you win You fix things for yourself And when the time comes Someone will fix you with you And you'll do the same Love is about together Not healing Not even happiness It's about together Family Friends Enemies Lovers No matter what kind of love it is Love is many as one Forever

Love
Scars last forever But pain does not Some cats are clever While others are not Sometimes i feel lonely Occasionally i'm great People are so phony So lets just celebrate Hate is a strong emotion So please just keep the peace My life's in constant motion Sometimes we need release

A new chapter is scary Like a whole entire new book My mind's still stuck in the last one And I don't know how I look.

Chapter
once, i liked a guy who was good with his words, a poet, if you will. it didn't take long to realize that was all he was good with, and relationships were at the bottom of that list. now i wonder if those two traits go hand in hand. it's not hard only to want love to write about.

poet's disease
one a.m. thoughts tossing me around in the surging turmoil of my cluttered brainwaves, surfing them like elastic waves in the ocean's tide, bobbing up and down up and down one a.m. is lonely tonight, wishing the clock would stop and give me the gift of time so I can drink in the darkness and become numb to these thoughts thoughts of you, thoughts of leaving, thoughts of leaving you one a.m. thoughts leave me craving something I can never hope to find searching through the dark for a light that only morning can bring why do I keep searching here in the dark? here, at one a.m. when sleep slips out from between my fingers and buries itself beneath these crashing waves

1 a.m.
I lost a part of myself when I let you in. You took me over slowly and then all at once, the way waves do in a storm. It all starts calm. It's truly beautiful in the beginning, but the damage after the tempest is often left not completely repairable for years. They say time heals all wounds, but maybe all time does it help us forget how broken we really are.

I Don't Like Titles
The blank page lies open, Like a freshly fallen field of snow, Ready for me to leave my mark In mucky prints of ink; Dark across it's ****** slopes I have little issue with speaking the unspoken, But begin to falter in breaking the unbroken. The page is inscrutable; oppressively immutable, But it's inexcusable to deny its aspiration. So I must bite my lip and gird my ***** Break the unbroken and spoil the unspoiled. But if I set off will I stumble? What if I fall? What if the penprints I leave across the field of my page go nowhere after all? Well there are many fields, and many pages; And on this long journey; many stages. I roll in the snow and make a mess; Start with a word and see what comes next. So just explore where the blank page leads you. It may not go where you expect.

The Blank Page
In a cup or a glass, a bottle or a flask Liquid courage masquerades as personality Everyone wants to be someone else sometime So choose a poison and swallow inhibitions Be that someone, or someone else Control is an illusion Courage cannot be purchased or consumed Bluffing affability through a counterfeit life Found in a cup or a glass, a bottle or a flask
