moon man Jan 2020
As he lay on his bed, staring at the moon while she reached the highest point in the sky, He starts to look back on his life. He remembers of watching baseball games with his family. He remembers of improving himself every morning before work. He remembers of being alone with his girl and nothing but her angelic dreams. As his alarm wakes him from a slumber he never noticed had crept up on him, he realizes that it was merely a dream.
a friend of mine found out that i write poetry and wanted something written about him.....and this is the end result

I want to marry the moon
moon man Jun 2023
I want to marry the moon, and yes I’ve finally gone mad from the moonbeams.
How can nobody else think otherwise, she’s always beautiful no matter how much or how little of herself she shows us.
She’s always quietly watching, like a partner lovingly staring at us from down the hall.
And despite all her cracks and damages, she still shines for all of us to see.
Which is why she only gets to see the cracks and damage of my own.
I’ve always loved the moon, and found her to be the source of many of my works, maybe perhaps one day I should finally ask her to be my wife

Ash and Blood
moon man Dec 2023
No more, no more shall I be a weapon.
No more shall I destroy for the sake of my own amusement.
Im tired of looking at the ash and blood of all the bridges I’ve burned and the backs I’ve stabbed.
The weight of it all has finally crushed me, I must change.
For the sake of those who I’ve harmed, and for those who still managed to stay.
I must stop myself, to better myself.
I must no longer be a weapon of despair, but a tool of hope.
I used to be a major ******* in highschool because I believed that everyone was out for their own benefit, they will happily step on me if they got up higher…so I decided that i will be the betrayer, and harmed so many people who I would’ve called friend today. One of the people who i used to be a **** to pointed out how much i’ve changed since then and were proud of the man I have become, one more healed back, one more bridge repaired.

Sad but True
moon man Jun 2020
It is sad but true
in the world, we live in
that we cannot trust the ones who have sworn to protect us
that the death of one man can call the rise of the destruction of communities
that simple action of lifting a leg could've not caused the war we see now
It is sad but true
that there is still a belief that certain people are superior
that many people abuse the responsibility of a gun and badge
that there are people that take advantage of a crime to raise anarchy
It is sad but true
a little something I decided to piece together of current events. after all, poets are the recordkeepers of their time.
