Poems are a fun thing to write,
The way my pen lit up at night,
And the only way I ever felt bright.

It became more than just an ordinary hobby,
Surrounded by people who said poets are ******.

Poetry is a way of life,
A way to survive,
A path for people who pray to stay alive,
Settled a life filled with strife,
And nothing left to do but let words strive.

That is why I'm still on Earth,
Writing felt like natures calling,
Because even when I was free falling,
Picking up a pen,
Meant picking myself up again.

In a lonely world.
People are busy
with doing nothing.
Walk around while
playing with their cell phones.
Talking and sending messages.
Nobody is paying attention.
Everyone is on their own.
Every day we feel
more alone.
Creating online
we like to share.
But does anyone care.
To show all places.
Making pictures
of smiling faces.
You can wait to see
how much everyone
likes you or write
nice comments so
that you can replay to.
A small digital kind
of happiness.
Is feeding you kindness.
Just a thought in mind.
There is not a lonely world.
Only people who
want to be heard.

­                                         I dream
                                                           ­                         of falling
                                                                  in love,      
                                                I've been.      
                                    trying.                 
          everyday,              
  Yet when                          
                  I finally                                                          ­        
  find                                                          ­                  
some                                          ­                                                
body,                                                           ­                                                     

I,        ­                                                                 ­                           

        
                 push.                                                            ­


                  Them.


                                                         ­                                  *Away
an all too universal sentiment

poets are a surprise
whenever they feel an emotion
especially when it's a strong one
whether positive or negative
for them,
it's always a bittersweet blessing in disguise

whenever they feel despair
whenever they feel bliss
they capitalize on the emotion
and create their written masterpiece

anything that comes to mind
anything that piques the poet's smart
will always come forth
a written work of art

We feel so deep that we reach an abyss

We feel nothing because we feel everything all at once

Our hearts are trying to send too much data to our brains--

Strength and honor.
Words before battle.
Sword and shield.
Silence reveals.
Your hand touching
grain field.
Fighting for Rome.
So far away from home.
A general who became
a slave.
A slave who became
a gladiator.
Fighting for your life.
A husband from
a murderd wife.
A father from
a murderd son.
You must continue.
Until your task is done.
Last fight in the Coliseum.
Will bring you peace
and freedom.
Love the movie.
The gladiator

Poetic T
Words are like water
                   You can wipe them
Away but there will
            Always be a reminder
An outline of where they
                  Left their  mark.

Wish you could
read my mind.
So you could see
my thoughts.
Feel what I feel.
Show you my vulnerability.
My heart longs for your
love so tenderly.
You will see my soul
in all its sensitivity.
My flaws are not
just sweet poetry.
If you could only see.
My thoughts without
hiding my fragility.
