The words spoken in silence,
are the loudest to the soul.
Tis free to cross the bridge of recovery
yet we've paid the highest toll.
If you want to be free of yourself
then let go of the demons that bind your mind
somewhere deep inside resides
your true self
on the shelf
and in the mirror do you find
the product of this generation and the one prior
present day our souls are for hire
but here in your written ballad we discover
perhaps your mind is undercover
the real you is atop the  smoggy mist
that covers the industrial forest
Welcome to my hiding place
the freer you are the higher you fly
carrying weight keeps you out of the sky
planes are heavy and they carry a load
you and I can stay here
like jets we will leave a trace
to carry us home
a saving grace.
the color of her lipstick
the color of the alleyway
the color of his knuckles when she showed signs of struggle
the color of the pavement
the color of the ambulance light
the color of her maternity dress
the color of her baby's hair
the color of the roses they set beside her coffin

she saw red--
                        the color of Love.
this poem was written to expose the haunting realities of many innocent **** victims, those who have been impregnated and keep it, and those who die from STDs.
I'm not here to leave a legendary impression,
these poems are merely syntactical confession,
and if you find in your own personal expression,
the mutual feels from the scheme of grand depression,
felicitation, aggression, commiseration, obsession
all of the above, et cetera, the thorough digression,
glory will be given to the one in succession
of the ethereal destination we hold in compression
with the wordly oppression and greedy possession,
without further ado and much indiscretion,
tis time now to reflect upon my next spiritual transgression.
*Welcome to those who come in the name of truth
she put her baggage on the scale at the airport
and the assistant said it was too heavy,
so she missed her flight,
and back home she went to try once more
to fit some things inside the closet she shared
with her husband who was unprepared
to see her come back through the door
for his greatest skeleton was lying on the floor
the other woman that kept the closet full
"that's why this bag is much heavier than before."
so she left it with him.
I'm sure this can relate to males, as well.
we have a design
therefore lives a designer
and we call him God.
I used to have an account on HP but I wanted to start afresh. This was one of the poems I decided to carry with me though, because it's so simple but encompasses something at the very fiber of mine and many others' souls.
We always talked about watching the sunset,
Laying on the roof
Watching the lights of the city below us
As if they were stars forming constellations,
Pointing out people walking by
As if they were ants below our feet on the sidewalks,
Tracing each other scars
With the tips of my fingers
And your smooth, perfect lips.
But we never talked about the sunrise.
The moon doesn't stick around for the morning,
But neither did you.
and to think for a second I thought I loved you more than the moon
