Sun does tickle his dreams on the blazing pave
when pass by him countless feet honking cars
fires don’t burn him nor do elements make him slave
upon him the street dirt is powdered stars.

In the luxurious cushions bed is a veritable thorn
sleep defers or visits not eyes’ awakened nightmare
men burn power to being breathing to the morn
while his eyelids at dreams’ wonder gapingly stare.

There’s a kingdom carved by him where gods don’t reign
a few picked crumbs magically brew metabolic bliss
fairies stir laughter misty angels wipe out pain
the moment his head the concretes kiss.

It isn’t hunger that in his deepest bowel gnaws
but a gratitude not battered by existential flaws
for being gifted a mind broke free sanity’s laws
be just there amid rush an island of pause.

We don't have to wait,
Halloween comes every day,
Shadow figures on their way,
The side show
The freak show
The funhouse across the bay,
We go there on purpose every day.

My light is kind of
fading I can see it
in the mirror
I can't quite see my way
to make it there today.

Your flashlights
in this funhouse Darkness
continues
to light the way,
for lost and wandering souls
as it has every day.

Humor
Grace
The soul whisperer
A lone long walker
The warrior spirit
A solo ocean swimmer
The darting eyed organizer
with the heart of gold
A stand-up comic
The old old sage
willing to fight it out
in the bleakness factory
every day.

As I make my way
to the exit sign
I can hear the five o'clock
screams
the lobby scene
cops dragging
a woman
screaming my name
I go anyway.

For those kind souls
left behind
as
the listener hums a tune
in his own mind
closes the door
one last time
with a sigh,
finally
has left it
all behind
saying
a
short prayer to the passing
of time,
for those who put their
love and compassion
on the line
in every way
every day.

an emtional wreck
is what you can call me these days
tears touching the cold hard floor
thinking about our memories together

I'd wish my heart was smaller
that there was no room for you
it would make things so much easier

and maybe I was stupid
and all of this really was my fault
but you can't blame me for being in love with you
the truth is all I ever wanted was for you to like me
not because I am pretty just for who I am

when she was around him
the world began to open, it was something magical
every single little bird in the sky was singing
these were the melodies that I would never forget

and it is okay to be crazy in love with someone and to get hurt
and it is okay to cry your eyes out and to feel like an complete idiot
you are only seventeen, be dramatic, be angry, be dumb, be young

but please remember my little girl
you can't be broken forever, you need to get up
look into the sun and embrace the beauty of life
count all the stars in the universe and sleep on the grass
get way to drunk and party way to hard

be your beautiful self

because you are worth so much more
than just some ****** up, blue eyed badboy
its late and Im tired and I dont want to cry anymore. *******.
an empty room
I fill it
With my thoughts.
I get to thinking
About everything.

I stand among many
Receiving awards
Reciting speeches
I must win one every day
And the speeches change,
Like the wind.

There's never
any faces,
Not even
my own
Ain't that strange?

Just the
Splintered visions
Breaking through
With spears
Of emotion.

I guess that
The image
Isn't even important:
It's the feeling,
The sensations,
The prayers,
The mantras,
And endless dreams.

It's an idealistic bubble.
Which I could  
Live in forever,
But I'd never get anything done.

I get to looking
At my watch.
Only thirty minutes
has passed,
How can that
be possible?

I've already travelled
to the serene corners
of my desires.
I've dipped my
toes in lustful wants.
I've soared to
pinnacles of success,
In thirty minutes.

Then the perpetual
Smog of stagnant
English gloom
Returns to me
In my Utopic chamber,
Bursting my bubble.

I hone back
to the moment,
and then I
put my pen
Down to paper.

I know the answer. If you ever have read
Emerson, or Thoreau, Whitman,
or the plaque on the wall your momma
prayed to.
Or, stared over a white blank page,
wondering,  where in torment or
ecstasy, their inspiration arose.
Or felt feelings lump up into
an unswallowable lump in your throat,
blended ink and tears into anything,
I know you are,

knowing,
what I mean.

Her smile is a
graceful beauty
on an ardent sky
like writing poetry
with a willow leaf
dipped in desire

an eternal verse
of sunrise surprises,
moon shadow promises
and forever truth
in permanent ink,
*forever ending in love

Unburden my heart
With soft words or hard
Unseen unformed words
Like clay in a jar

What can my soul spring
But fountains of dreams
From the depth of divine
What will my muse bring

Unburden my heart
And set my mined free
Untainted by memories
Of the hell I have seen...

No child should have to
Look into the face of death

Not even the child within
Can know they're self-prepared
Some shocked stand staring in air
Perhaps the lucky ones
Quickly integrate despair

Some stand strong quickly moving on
Dissociating to get the job done
And now my psyche's on the run
At the sound of breaking bones
And the sight of blood and guts
A hundred years later
The fallout is quite abrupt...

I was cursed, upon the worst, poison burst, deadly verse, I was never first but chosen last, blessed ending although prophecy hurts, el angel de la muerte cursed with the worst, but blessed with the best, will I last?... Make it out alive, strive in this concrete jungle, might I stumble, die slow begin to crumble, regardless I stay humble, wherever life takes me, at least you keep a piece of me, a thought of me you could see, something I always wished it'd be,

I leave a poetry book of tales, stories, novels, achievements, aspirations, divinity's miraculous glory, life's high demands and expectations, heartbreaking grief season's fall with autumns leaf, read love's inventory, throughout the years,

Adolescents fluorescent days we spent, those special events, how everything went, and the turn of events, and how I felt, chances are I'm by far, at my weakest, I just want you to keep faith breathing, alive don't refuse it and watch it leave, please believe, love is real god granted us the power to feel, never doubt for a second, my love for you is sealed, that's my last and final deal my lovely tear,

My dwelling place became my pitfall, time marked cutting scarred causing internal bleeding, surrounded in a living hell, adversaries breaking through my soul, became so cold, demons took a hold, crept in formed started to unfold, lost myself, deviated from my right state of mind, lost blurry vision eyes blind couldn't envision, difficult to find, left behind still I shined, constantly used, mentally abused, manipulated mentally aggravated, my end turned out critically devastated, didn't know the reason, pulled into darkness treason strikes, in the hands of this wicked world we live in, the weakest links give in, machinery system of robotic's misery, captured souls, human hearts form cold, death is portrayed as gold, a story kept secret never to be told,

But not to worry sweet heart it wasn't because of you my dear, don't ever blame yourself, instead you were my bestful help, my helpful friend, very grateful I met you, and regretful I left you, it's a battle of the minds, it's a warzone, I'm all alone, honesty is long gone, evils out devouring, like a fierce lion doing wrong, I must stay strong, he's deceiving the minds, people walk the earth blind, the world chose to undergo, an enemy arose to pick a fight incite a battle with me, truth is they don't phase me, only chase me, and think twice to erase me, long story short none can't see me, I must dispose, human filth shouts and boast, I must set afire and watch it roast, make the best out the most, cook and toast,

Killing me slow, I mean you never know, promise me to water my rose help it grow, allow his true love to overflow, be the best you can, save souls, your crown awaits you, more precious than the purest gold, listen be careful and understand, most importantly have heart, blessed in the course and art of love, keep shining, stay grinding, never give up, please wipe those tears stop crying, take a good look at yourself you're already flying, be sincere, never fear, angels are near, guiding you through the years my dear,

I'm surrounded by physical demons, sell outs, people who traded their freedom for stability, disrupting my mentality, erupting my tranquility, it's hostility my finishing point is this, remember who you are, who I once met, the one at the top, the best to expect, nobody can stop, nor close to even drop, my confident leader, my school girl daydreamer, Never loud but quiet, soft, and tender, my soul just had to surrender, your protector and defender, a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle, love you always..
