Dormitory

The world is our field
Of endeavor
Not to be used
As dormitory

I Once Was Afraid of the Dark

Oh, my God, who did
Scare. I turn upward my eyes,
Walk, and faith my fears.

and I still am today. But now I write in it.

its gonna make sense

voiceless

i already buried my voice a long time ago
when i chose to be a poet
i buried it with words in papers
in ink of pen with blues*

it seems like
im so exhausted
of all the talking
of all the reasoning
of defending myself
so i remained silent

*deep breathe in*

MY GOD,
I HAVE INHALED ABANDONMENT FOR SO LONG,
THAT ANY SCENT OF LOVE IN THE AIR,
MAKES IT HARD FOR ME TO BREATHE.
PLUS,
THE TANKS OF OXYGEN ALWAYS SEEM TO BE MIXED WITH A HIGH DOSAGE OF PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY,
AND I WEAR THE MASKS SO OFTEN,
I FORGET I EVEN HAVE THEM ON.

Resignation

Here it is,
The end.

I give up,
I give up,
I give up.

Left

You never showed
You let me go
You had to pick
I wasn’t it
Can’t live two lives?
Why not mine?

Hazy Reflections.

Hazy Reflections

Glass plated, the bay
lies hazily, sealine breaks
the sky away
from distant headlands,
and basks in midday.

Warm autumn sun fills
the basin between
with diamond studded
diaphanous glazes
which mesmerize me.
