John
Lying in a
                  Hole.
         Running through
                         Burning hoops.
Not sure what to do
        But I've got to be
              Quick.

Faster
           Stronger
                          More versatile
           Than the rest.

                      A chameleon
With the strength
         Of a lion
And the speed
          Of a jet.

I've got to make myself
        Inhuman
                        To feel
      Up to this test.

But building up
        Only gets you so far.

                After you hit that beautiful plateau
                          You're gonna find yourself on the floor.
some anxieties concerned with growing up.

One day not far in the future
I'll remember how I have grown
Fondly I'll walk through the tragedies
and the heartbreak that have shown
That some people cannot be made good,
Their cuts and scrapes are too deep.
Scars have formed on their hearts
Desperately inching towards sleep.
I'll pray for the brightest smiles.
I'll think of those laughing the most.
They're the ones desperate for love.
They're the ones living as ghosts.
I'll tell my children and grandchildren
That not every smile is warm;
Not every hand is worth holding
Some showers are often a storm.
Steer clear of those with hatred.
Never mistake them for misunderstood.
Grudges spread war and unhappiness.
From them I have learned nothing good.
I'll tell them what my mother told me
And what I've learned over time.
When you're trapped in the valley of shadows
Think nothing other than climb.
what are endings but new beginnings?
the living are mirrors of the dead
and the darkness the consort of the light!
in the midst of extremes we hang in balance
in the thick of chaos, we find our silence

After this terrible heartbreak,
We know your right there by heavens gate,

Watching over us, protecting us as we live on,
But we cant get over the fact that your actually gone.

We miss you dearly, and no one could ever replace you,
You were our superman, flying through the sky oh so blue.

We are living a type of hell, wishing you were here,
But we know we'll see you later, and raise up our glasses of beer.

We take a shot of Jameson, a toast to you old man,
Whether playing the role as daddy or brother, no one can do it better than you can.
This poem is in loving memory of my Uncle and God Father, Kevin Botta, who died unexpectantly on January 6th, 2011, as a passanger in a car crash.
My Brittle Heart Entwined With Hope's Coarse Veins,
My Soul Fighting For My Body's Control,
Is It Really That Wrong To Feel This Plain?
My Glass Is Neither Half Empty Or Full

Is It Wrong To Dream, Or Wish Upon Stars?
There Is No Sunshine When I Dream Or Wish,
Is It Wrong To Search For Something So Far?
Is It Wrong To Walk A Desert As Fish?

Does Hope Grow On Trees, Or Sway In The Wind?
Does Bad Luck Wear Glasses? And Is Luck Blind?
Does Heaven Give Offers Then Rescind?
It Feels Like--You Never Know What You'll Find

Is It Wrong We All Don't Get Time To Heal?
I'm Starting To Wish Good Fortune Was Real
Dedicated To Everyone Who Feels The Same
I'm Still New To Sonnets So Sorry If It's Messy

Silver laid

Sometimes the smallest words have the largest meanings;
Love
Hate

and we abuse them so violently.
Fear
Bravery

So I will ask you to ponder
Know
Believe

Which sentences you could have shortened today.
The Tingling
Pulsing
Throbbing sensation.
The thought
Of your sweet slow
*******.
The approval to claim your
Deepest Redemptions
Your Temptations
Delivering me
Blissful Salvation.
Belly button deep
Seeking for keeps
Your palms grip my hips,
My hips switch
Like a gypsy.
You bewitch me.
Twitching
Writhing
Spell-bound  beneath me.
You beseech me.
Eyeballs rolling back into their rightful sockets
If you can pry the clasps open ill give you the key to the locket
Like Future said,
Ill put your heart in my pocket.
Soaring inside me to destinations reached only by rockets.
Fingers tantalizing hard *******,
Love fluid gushing with rip tide strength ripples.
Mary Jane modeling between my fingers,
Idoling bliss towards the tips,
My fingers seek a settling seat upon the floor of your luscious lips
-Lust at your own risk
Inhale the kush
Push me to the depths of my mattress
Submerge me beyond the sheets,
Beyond the springs underneath,
Beyond the heights of my wildest dreams
Make me shy, make me fly
Provide me your name so I can surrender and scream.
