To Leah
Marcus Belcher Oct 2020
I write this one for you
My little brown Queen
It is for you that I struggle
It is for you that I dream

The coming days are dreary
Night filled with extra dark
So I'll protect you
By putting art in your heart

It'll show you things
Only found in-between
You can see through the lies
The false feelings in their eyes

Truth always changes
Just like the tide
It can take you low
It can lift you high
It will always radiate
Even after you die
I want to start writing poems for ny niece. Art is definitely going to help her navigate the crazy world she'll have to grow up in.

The Journey
Marcus Belcher Nov 2015
Empty
An endless void
I feel nothing
I know nothing

Then a luminous omen
Right before the bright bounty pours
Filling and filling
With no brim in sight

Something tethers to me
Another and more
No words are spoken
But it is heard loud and clear

Empty
Yet whole
No need to hold on
When everything is in your grasp
This is one of those poems that just came to me out of the blue. I love random moments of inspiration.

My Space
Marcus Belcher Oct 2020
I know of the world
But I do not exist in it
Floating in inky black
Enveloping her edges
Devoid of bright
Darker than night
It was my home
To the ends I roamed
Until into that flight
I found a light
Just right
For me.....
Going through some personal changes and just reflecting on how far I've come

To those people
Marcus Belcher Oct 2020
Living through your team
You cheer and scream
If they win
If not
The gravest sin
You took my light!
You put me in this night!
And because you caused this strife
I demand payment with your life
To fans who send death threats to athletes when they miss a shot or don't do what they want them to do

Bar Poem
Marcus Belcher Oct 2020
There is something about a dream
That makes you want to scream
But it shines like a beam
When you find the perfect team

The path becomes clear
Whether far or near
I still feel fear
But in the moment it'll disappear

Cause when I found my light
I held on a grip that was tight
Takes me on a flight
In the middle of night

When it comes for you
You gotta learn to go
Time is like a river
It only knows how to flow
When a beat gets stuck in my head and I have to write to it to get it out

Back Again
Marcus Belcher Jun 2019
Words are not just words
They are my shield
They are my blade
My offense
And My defense
Power I absorb
Only to let it flow forth
A calm wave
After a tidal crash
I only wish
This feeling would last
It's been a minute but I'm happy to be back.

In The Dark
Marcus Belcher Mar 2019
Do not forget us in the dark
We have mastered the art
Taking the light
Setting it apart

We see both halves of the whole
The struggle in the soul
We try to separate
When we should integrate

Two sides same nickel
Really quite the pickle.
Be it Love or Hate
All roads lead to Fate

You have your own choice
Make it now
Don't spend too much time
Asking How?

A Breath
Marcus Belcher Sep 2020
Once again I must bend time
To write again in an old rhyme
To be quick
To be swift
Take a ride and get a lift to
A place where true thoughts dwell
Enough time
In your personal hell
Bad habits
Bad views
Preached from a parental pew
Please grow
Please shine
Please use your brilliant mind
I gotta stop these comeback tours lol

— The End —
