She was elegant
As she makes perfect marks with her blades
On the stage of the world
She doesn't look tough
But she accelerates
With speeds of a race car driver
She takes harder impact
than a rider being thrown from  bull
She handles more G force
than a fighter pilot
She does the extreme
Being extremely graceful
She was gold
Gracie Gold

Stripes of beauty
Not one ounce of fear
Eyes black as obsidian
When in the wild he kicks into high gear

His color so extravagant
With white on his ears
His teeth so frightening
It scares everyone near

A thunderous roar he has
Slices through thin air just like a spear
And When he comes out of his den
The crowd all yells and cheers

"On summer nights the world
moves within earshot
on the interstate with its swish
and growl, an occasional siren
that sends chills through us."

On winter nights the world
rests within earshot
on the country roads with its bumps
and houses, an occasional patter
that sends warmth through us.

On fall nights the world
sneaks within earshot
in the neighborhoods with their friends
and monsters, an occasional growl
that sends fear through us.

On spring nights the world
blossoms within earshot
on the growing trees with their buds
and flowers, an occasional buzz
that sends joy through us.

The end is near
the end is here
but how will I let go
to that I say
I do not know
even though
the rest may stop
I may continue
alone
in the end

~Javier S.

Yes
always
good
definitely
aye
indubitably

The world wants more of it
positivity
a motive
away to boost self esteem
something worth your time
yet you don’t hear it too often
“Positive anything is better than negative nothing.”
-Elbert Hubbard

~Javier S.

Reaching for safety,
Wanting help,
Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
Safety from,
The fears of an unknown world.

Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
Someone to face
This unknown world.
Prepared to be the hero
Or to fail.

Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
The next hero
To walk into this new world
And overtake it
With courage and grace.

Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
Someone to
Leave their own safety,
Take risks,
And live.

Just stay for tonight

This dying world

Haunts me

Everything it ever took from me,

Delivers me to pain


It sends venom through my veins

The gentle kiss burns through my flesh

I start to disintegrate

But I can’t deny it


No one thought I would get this far

My soul was left to die

I have lost my everything

I start to crave fear


Left for the dirt

Filled with hate and sin

I am forgotten

With only myself to blame


I lie alone

Left to die

-A
