All ears
Adrian Ware Mar 2018
Listening to the thoughts that roam
Words that leaves one making progress
As one that stress about having less
The other that has more lends a ear
For though you seem to have less
You are happy
The rest is temporary
The luxurious car says things like
Don't search deep inside of me
For there is nothing there
Most won't lend a ear

Reincarnated
Adrian Ware Jan 2018
I died in a mist and disappeared in the fog
When my spirit left the earth
My body was ripped apart by vicious dogs
I haunted the earth until I seen a chance
To dive into someones flesh
So that I could live again
I awoke in a body that was so different
I died but came back as a poet
Due to reincarnation
How could my spirit be the same when everything else has changed
I guess reincarnation is something you really can't explain
For this is not my blood that I shed
This body means no more to than
a hotel room that gets rented out weekly
Which means this form is only temporary
Because in actuality
you only get one chance
Even if you get reincarnated
You still ain't living the life that you were once living

Preteen Violence
Adrian Ware Jan 2018
Could you picture yourself walking up to the sound of gunshots that's  ringing out worldwide
Or seeing a little a boy holding a gun in the parking lot
Standing over another lifeless young boy
Telling him he just has been sparked with hot
I know it sounds drastic
But this is what it has come to
Our streets have became a battlefield
Making you a target if you walk through
As you watch your surroundings
You'll see little kids changing before you
Kids as young as age ten are pulling triggers on human figures
So I ask
Why so violent
Do we possess the power
To turn even the smallest person extremely violent

A deeper love
Adrian Ware Dec 2017
Are your eyes open
Cause I was hoping that we could dream forever
Not of stars but of each other
And bring our focus to another level
To something that is way greater than our looks
Because to me you are like book
So I want to memorize every part of ya
From the smile that you hold
To the imperfect place that is your soul

Crashing and burning
Adrian Ware Nov 2017
You can always crash but your never a post to burn
Because if you just crash then you escape with cuts and bruises
The whole purpose is for you to make it through this
Take your scratches and consider it a lesson learned
Whatever you do
Do not burn
Become a tank in disguise
Cause they crash all the time
But their momentum never dies
This is what your spirit should look like
Don't let your life crashes turn your spirit into ashes
For if you crash get back up and go back at it

I apologize
Adrian Ware Nov 2017
I apologize on behalf of my gender
For they know not what they do
Some of them don't have a clue that they are hurting you
They are just individuals who never developed a real mans mind
So they use slander as a defense
In a attempt to try and hide their true feelings
But part of it comes from the environment they lived in
And I'm not trying to make excuses
The line has been drew
Good men have been separated from bad men
And it's up to you to choose

Computer
Adrian Ware Nov 2017
My body works like a computer
If I feels that you are something like a virus
I will push you away
Because my heart is like a hard drive
It won't let you do any harm to me
And I compare myself to a computer
Because a computer is smart
And their hard drive is similar to a heart
I tend to push people away
Which is why there aren't that many people close to me
It's something that came naturally
So if  I push you away
Don't take it personally
I'm just being like a computer
I'm trying to protect me

Changes
Adrian Ware Oct 2017
Love is like america and america is like science
And the reason I compare all three of those together
Is because all of them are the same in one way
For example science is never wrong
Because they always change the facts
Love is basically the same
It's just a little different from that
Except for love doesn't change the facts
Instead it just changes the person
And America changes the rules and laws that we live by
Changes only complicate things
But you can change almost anything
Except for love
Because if you change the meaning of love
Than you would have changed everything
Because love is so confusing that
People often misuse it
It's so complicated that most people hate it
Some people are even afraid of it
Scientist can't even figure out
Why it's so twisted it
That's why they don't study

Defeated
Adrian Ware Oct 2017
Trying to push pass all the obstacles that stands in the way
But most of us fall prey to the name that is defeat
For even though we reach anticipating the relief of stress
The elusiveness of our problems
Makes it hard to solve them
So I ask
What can you do when fatigue hits you
With defeat is in your view
You can either fall down and not get back up
Or you can wait for the right moment to build up

Minefield
Adrian Ware Oct 2017
Going in circles looking so confused
Not knowing which route should be used
For stepping in the wrong direction can activate the charge
Therefore creating a shortage in the fuse
The field is covered with mines
This all done by design
Explosions can take place everyday
Which is a indication that
You are living your life the wrong way
Grenades are thrown from above
Landing near the things that you assume that you love
But every pathway has it's own quicksand
You just have to chose
The one that leaves you slowly sinking
®Adrian Ware

Sculpting
Adrian Ware May 2017
In the making of something incredible
For you are polished stone, that has been created
But are not representing the purpose that you were meant to serve
Tools are needed to complete the details
In which you will be put to work
And taken off the list that says reserved
With a hammer in one hand, and a nail in the other
The sculpting shall begin
For every chipped piece starts a journey that possibly won't end
But will continue on long after you're gone
For a legacy will be built
As the nail and the hammer will be passed on
For others to sculpt and have their dreams fulfilled

Saying goodbye
Adrian Ware Aug 2015
Saying goodbye is something we dread which is what my grandfather said when I was a child about to leave their house for the afternoon
I said goodbye but he said I'll see you soon
Because the word that I used in his own words was said far to soon
He said goodbye means that we won't see each other again
So every since then I have came up with different ways to say that I'm leaving
Like I see you soon or I'll get back to you in a few or maybe we will cross one paths when the sky turns back to the color light blue
Because goodbye is a word that's used when you have a casket in your view
It should not be referred to as way to depart on a day to day basis
It's a word that's used when have disappearing faces

Yearning for her
Adrian Ware Aug 2015
I am left yearning for her
For when she is not in my presence
Time passes by and I'm just left counting the seconds
And they drag on like years
So when a hour passes by I try to picture her being there
I yearn for her unprovoked protest
The words in which she speaks just to start a argument
My belove I enjoy your idea of torment
Because the sound of your voice makes everything more interesting
I yearn for her lips, her hips, and the feeling of her soft fingertips
Every single feature leaves me stumbling over my own words
Which is why I desire her
So yes when she is not next to me
I yearn for her
Every second, every hour weather asleep
My mind travels, seeing as the future unravels
I only want to carry her
As I wait for this once in a life time marriage to occur

— The End —
