He loved her with all his heart
They shared a moment
He was proud of her
She denied him
With her best friend
Her best friend informed him
He wanted more
She had other plans

Always wanted to be a writer
Wake up write
Always told the truth
Its sad people try to twist your words
Make you out to be the bad guy
Having a caring heart gets you hurt
Doing what's right gets you hated
All or nothing with efforts
Matching energy
Would rather be alone
Doing my own thing
Working on writing telling stories
Lots of reflecting and coping
E61
So many road blocks
So many detours
Found joy learned more
Going another way
Dreamed of the day
Doesn't happen right away
Staying loyal and true
Don't roll with a crew anymore
Family is forever
On the go with the hustle
One day it will show
Walking with faith
Avoiding the hate
Not letting dictate fate
Wake up thankful
Before bed praying to God
Another day stay in the light
Able to sleep such a good nite
Find the words to write
Let it go allow yourself to grow
ask me if I'm happy
don't stop at the smile
ask me if I'm happy
go beyond the appearance
ask yourself if you're happy
the real smile is not seen
it's tattooed on the heart
Axe
there was a time
I was connected
to myself
and to it all

my heart feels like a piece of wood
just waiting for the axe to fall

I know it will be split in two
I don't want the suspense to end

but deeper down I look within
and want to be the tree again
when i was younger
i watched the birds and the bugs
and i loved the way they looked so

but now i wonder if
i admired them for the

not all of it bad.
Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art

Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again
