a stomach of gravel
and teeth of chalk.
it was never
supposed to be
easy or fun.

our burdens are
what build us.
the gift is
the curse.

just,
ask the jellyfish.
he'll tell you,
life ain't easy.
life's a challenge.
may not be able to fight the tide
but there's plenty else to grapple with.
that's what he said,
the five percent of him
that wasn't water.

and here we stand with spines.
maybe still can't fight the tide
but theres plenty that we can.

Hide away child
don't let me In
I'm a demon, I am a devil
I'll teach you how to sin

run away child
don't look me in the eyes
there silver- blue and deadly
and full of broken lies

Dream of a person,
that's it.
look to the left,
do you see that person?
every time i look to the right,
i see him.

in my Dreams,
he sweeps me off my feet.
His smile,
his laugh,
the way he says hello,

Dream of a bad guy,
a person that will do anything,
just to get what he/she wants.
Dream of that person you created,
saving you.
they love you for who you are.

Look at your self in a mirror,
say, My dream can come true.
Now, wake up,
and make your Dream come true.

Dream

My mother is a piano
A little out of tune
Dusty keys
That play with ease
Ivory as the moon

Sometimes I’ll touch the wood
And admire its antiquity
Think of all the things that it
Ever dreamed to be

Sometimes when my fingers
Fly through a song
I wonder how this piano
Ever got so strong.

My mother is a piano,
She makes music out of air,
She answers each finger
With an embrace, with care

Her legs planted firmly
in the ground
How much I love to hear
her deep, rich sound.

Galactic domes
Envelop the sky
Geometric tesselations
Mimic starry nights.

White cubes reside
Caressed by the sea
Freckled light tunnels
Flicker vivaciously.

Dawn of humanity
6500 BCE, Jordanian shores
Brought forth
Two-headed sculptures.

sunshine,
how can i tell you that
as much as i love
the glow;
the heat;
the light
you give me, tell me:
am i the only one
who receives this
from you?
