Letting myself go
in the hope
that you'll
catch me.
You're not
worth my
poetry

Don't worry when I'm gone
You'll forget me like an old song
God Blessed me with these two little angels and a Prince with a curly headed crown
to spoil rotten every chance I get to see them, one day I'm gonna take you all shopping downtown
i can't help it, you three stole my heart
and I hate that we're so far apart

They are my nieces and my nephews
so forgive me if I sound sappy,
in terms of poetic value this one may be scrappy.

Shyla, you were born on Christmas eve
you're growing so fast it's hard to believe
that I once held you in my arms and Fed you with a bottle,
now you're in school, getting A's, and your uncle is just full to bursting with pride inside, like a well written novel

Taurean, my little man, you're almost an exact clone of my brother, A.K.A your dad.
I swear it's crazy how much alike you two act.
You're playing football now? and you're on defense.
hopefully when you get older you can help the bears with no pretense

And Cheyenne, little miss moody
I love you you little stinker, I swear just taking to you is always different, so I'm always a rookie.

anyway you three, I know I'm not physically there,
but know that uncle does love you three very much, and know that I'll always be there,

:)
This is dedicated to my nieces and nephew,

Uncle loves you!
I'm floating high above the clouds
Looking down through the crowds
what do you think I see
A horror film, starring me
I look so sad, beat to a pulp
I can't see a shred of hope
I want to stay up here, in the sky
Am I alive or did I die?
Will I wake up from this bad dream
I desperately need to get clean
I've burned all my bridges
Dug my own hole
It's too late to set another broken goal
So I pick up the needle
Shoot the liquid into my vein
Soon I will be floating in the clouds again
If one is sad and alone
Make them feel at comfort and cared for
If someone is smiling and happy
Contribute to their happiness
If one is happy with one other
Smile;
Let them be happy as two
But if you see one on the street
Lonely from a broken heart
Heal.
Care for, contribute, help.
And if two people are happy
Smile.
Leave them as two.
Help the broken hearted;
Heal the lonely;
Feed the hungry.
Let lovers love.
Be a healer
Not a home wrecker.
The whips of her hair flew
A spew electric blue
His wings encircled her
And he looked at her with his fire amber eyes
The devil's child from below
She didn't know
The wishbone would make her remember
A devil's child
From the life of hers before
Struck from smoke
She began to remember
How fobidden their love was
The devil in angels wings
Where both flew
To end the war that never ended
To make life anew
The book I'm reading made me want to write that. It is called The Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.
In the dark of the nighttime, papyrus well lit
these embers of imagination are bright where I sit
by spark of the dreamer whose words I read
dead for many ages yet renewed is the seed
planted in the fertile reaches of my mind
wisdom handed down for posterity to find
I hear plainly these voices, deep as they are sage
and thirst for the knowledge contained in the page
Poet lives in his words
A part of his soul
Written across paper
Ink that flows
Bleeding the poet’s heart
Poetry holds life

Washed out flame
Never to reignite 
Face to face
Mouth to mouth
Breathe the terror out
I’m overwhelmed by infinite doubts

I forgot my virtue at the door
At least that's the excuse I'll misuse,
They say tattoos cover any bruise
But then again, so does continued drug abuse

Baby, be my "everything that went wrong”
Fatal love songs remind me of my recklessness
I’ve got another Hail-Mary to choke out- it’s the day of genesis
And you’re my only shame but I lack all eloquence

Digging my own grave
In hopes of learning the lesson
I’m five feet deep,
Torn lace is the only mark of my indiscretion 

Silhouettes fake perfection
