Barefoot
dri witz Sep 2018
I love being alive
I love thinking and touching and breathing in deep.

Oh to be human,
I have this feeling like the world is endless
Like my capabilities are limitless
Like I could do whatever I want whenever but
There are limits, there are ends
I didn't put them there
And if you did
Why

A world so enormous
In a container so tiny
You wanna see what I can think up try me
Put a needle in the right place I'm dying
Here's my body you can take it
Rip it **** it **** it stake it
Here's my mind it's mine
Till forever
You won't taint it





A mind is stronger than waves, wind,
Larger than mountains
And as vast as the sea
But in these bodies we must be

And as my mind grows larger I feel smaller.

Let me be plain,
You wanna hang on a rainy day?
1 for sorrow
2 for joy
Unemployed
milk with soy
doesn't mean much to me
Hope you text,
wanna see what's next
and it's raining so hard,
I'm trapped behind this desk.

Words on paper
Trains of thought
Please
Make me feel something deeper
Cause right now I'm not

That's why I write
That's why I fright,
Just wanna drown my mind
in universal divine
understand time
and write a million rhymes
all before i die

So come fill my eyes with something bright
and leave one day, I just might

Green Deer
dri witz Apr 2016
Nana's old bed
At the end of the hall,

Bare feet on gold wood
Cannot sleep
Though I should,

Too Dark,
I draw up the shade

Small crack
Less black,

Green light
Not sky light
from the streetlight,
Too bright

As I gaze out
She stands out,

Abnormal, there
She too does stare

A lone deer
No fear

Mocking
Head cocking

Our eyes hold
Her eyes bold

Soon She breaks
And trots away

Into the dark space
Where the green light does not trace,

Now I know what I must do,
Beautiful green deer,
Thank you
<3

Magic is Gone
dri witz Jan 2016
Exhausted,
The world i knew
Ripped shredded and torn
From a weak grip

Mind twists, screaming
Cannot figure a reason or rhyme
Why something so pure so fine
Can no longer be mine

Chaotic like a hurricane,
Speeding up time
No time
Fly time
Bye time
Cannot control time
Can only climb
And climb and climb

But there is no summit to be seen.
No ultimate waiting
All i know is to fight time
And climb

Torn
Alone
I am sick
And suffering finally,
There's a name for it
What do they call it
Oh yes
Separation Anxiety

Be there still
dri witz Sep 2016
and those hanging paper ducks
dancing, twisting, turning and such

Requiem On Water
When all is plundered

my love will be there still

college
dri witz Sep 2016
I like the mumble
Fan rotating
People conversating
The background
Sound
Of friends who come round
A not so small town
Roommates getting loud

And I like the jumble
I like to roll and rhyme
to pass sweet time

Climate like a jungle
Thick in the air
Big f*ckin hair
And I don't care
Just want your stare

She wears glitter
And jeans that just fit her
A part time babysitter
He wears a white t
Wonder does he like me
I'll never know
So take a puff
From my one hitter

:)

You're where I found you
You're where I've left you

In and out
Of your world
Like a buzzing bee
Like a tornado twirls
You didn't leave me

Talking to you is like talking to a memory

Cloudy Night
dri witz Feb 2016
Stepping outside, the air cuts
Cooling the flesh in my lungs
Turning my blood red
A cloud escapes my open mouth
Pupils dilate under dim street lamps
Searching for the light
***** converse on a shiny street
Around the corner
Old ripped jeans

By that tall tree
I look up
No more leaves
But a small, soft, dark brown sky
Hippie Sabotage plays near by
Lips
Collide with the glass
Spark
******* in all I can
Smoke hits
Deep in my throat
Ashes stay lit
Orange glows in my hand

Puddle at my feet
Full moon on the ground
Not so cold now
Tall tree
Branches reaching further down
Away from me
Gray faces surround

Inhale
A little more
Exhale
I blow and blow
Ears full of Palace sound
Strange town
A cloud escapes my open mouth
What now

WILD
dri witz Feb 2016
I watch myself
Unable to see what my own eyes see
It sees me
It wants me
Its presence
Behind me
Tall and Dark
It thirsts
It craves
Drawing nearer
Reaching
Mouth agape
Heart racing, anticipating
My legs are heavy
They won’t move
Time slows
Tears fall
I desist
It always ends the same
Inescapable, this thing chasing
The secret chaos
Of a mind untamed
A reoccurring nightmare

party on
dri witz Sep 2016

There's a band
in a basement
Twinkle lights
Crumbly walls
Corner talks
Take one
Drink it
Pass it
On

Underneath
back porch stairs

U can find me @
40 Clifton

Curly boy signals
W his fingers
"party on"

When you're young they say
if you don't change your face it'll stay that way
I've been frowning for too many days
and changing this mask to a smile
makes the plastic fray

Red
dri witz May 2016
Red
All of the sudden
We were in four separate chairs
How symbolic
And my dad he stared
Eyes wide and scared

He spoke low
Words coming out slow

The rest is silent.
I see
Tears stream down my brother's face

I could not hear the sounds
But I see
I could not feel the floor beneath me
But my eyes remained wide
I did see
And i didn't cry

I saw
the porch lights shed red light
my dad's face affright
the cold cold night
Brother's not alright
and Mother's always right
So this night
this cold
red
night
Is never gonna be alright

with me

I never could connect my body with my soul

cause i see my self through a mirror
or a reflection

I forget im a person
in someone else's eyes

wonder what that's like

Lucky
dri witz Oct 2017
Touch your head against mine
In a field on a mountain
As we close our eyes
and our sweat mingles
A moment that lingers

I'm yours
You're mine

Touch my head against yours
Under warm water in the shower we share
and down went our cares
out of every pore
while water poured
muscles sore
This day I adore

When I'm with you time simply passes
And I don't have to think about the days
I've got nowhere to be
With your arms around me
I'm lucky
:)

I MISS YOU and I'm tired of it.

When I start missing someone it doesn't end there.
I begin to think of all the faces.
The places.
All those that are far away.
But could not be closer to me.
I want to call all of them
Hear all of their voices.
I'm overwhelmed
And saddened every time.
It rushes over me like a wave of loneliness.
Like some piano in the distance starts to play.
Like why must people go away?
Like how am I supposed to continue my day?
So I call no one.
I'm weak.
I miss them terribly but cannot speak.
For my true feelings might leak.
They mean the world to me.

They are my world.
Without them who would i be?
With no one to love how do I pass the time?
For I cannot only rhyme.
And there are mountains I would need a partner to climb.

I cannot call you on the phone.
It isn't the same.
To hear your wonderful voice saying my name
A phone call is too plain.
For through the wires my love it cannot rain.

I could've been anyone
dri witz Oct 2017
Could've been anywhere
But I've got this hair
And this love
This air
I'm breathing in
This car I'm driving in
To a home where I've lived
11 years
My eyes fill
too full of tears
So they fall
And my ears
Hear
Fingers
Touch
For some
That'd just be enough
driving by my favorite lake

Our first kiss
In your hammock under the stars
By a lake
Not very far
From the school where I found you
I was brand new
You wore all black converse shoes
And right away
I liked you

Fall

Whenever the cold comes around
I can't help but think about
How delicately I was put together

In this cold
cold
weather
