Dandelions are the most independent flower.
They grow where they want.
No one plants them.
They’re free.
They’re infinite.
I felt infinite picking them in the apple orchard with you.
We were free.
We were infinite.  
I couldn't handle my smile watching you,
Rip them out of the earth by the handfuls.
Your face was covered in sunshine and pollen.
It might have been the pollen that resembled sunlight.
Regardless,
You emitted the sun in a way I've never seen before.
I refuse to accept that dandelions are weeds,
Because I want to be a dandelion with you.

Where do I find a poem?
In the space of a blink,
Between heartbeats,
When idle or moving,
With family and friends,
In a cemetary,
At school,
On a beach,
On-line,
On a bench, sitting beside me.
In the four seasons,
Beneath the blue, black and starry canopy,
In the wild, sapian or worldly,
In the arts and prophets,
Crawling on the floor,
When I'm cooking;
And, when I'm not looking,
A poem will find me.
Where do you find yours?

The baddest in town
Clapping all these silly clowns
Straight laid on the ground
Pound for pound make no sound
I guess I was destined for evil

How can they blame me
When they basically made me
Induce, drug abuse, over use
Demons infuse, let loose
Take flight at night on sight

Yeah call me the villian
The criminal I'm the bad guy
That's who you wanted me to be
Right? You created a monster
& Now you want to point
The finger on me, blame me

Just because you couldn't tame me
& Now you scared cuz I'm coming
Like a charged stampeed to haunt
All those crooked frauds wicked
Evil nerds cuz they relate to the evil
Inside them, this one's for them
My enemies, all my adversaries

Basilisk eyes
and
Silky skin
Hide the poison
Contained within

Turning handles
Spinning gears
Rotating cogs
Rusted in place
Breathing in
Breathing out
Final breath
It’s all the same
When you stop the motion
Allowing moments to pass
For the very last time
Just something a little different

Thank you for reading
